December, 2011:

Alan Stuart Pattee (CRD #3002976, Registered Representative, Lake Worth, Florida) submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which was barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Without admitting or denying the findings, Pattee consented to the described sanction and to the entry of findings that he forged homeowner signatures on uniform mitigation verification inspection forms (UMVI forms) in connection with inspections performed by a qualified inspector regarding construction information; the form is submitted to the homeowner’s insurance company in connection with insurance pricing. The findings stated that Pattee forged the signatures to accommodate his clients, who were either not at home at the time of the inspection or were his longtime clients. The findings also stated that Pattee acted as an officer for a company formed to conduct inspections to determine homeowner policy premiums, for compensation, without providing prompt written notice to his member firm for this outside business activity. The findings also included that Pattee completed securities annual compliance online certifications for his firm representing that he had complied with the requirements of NASD Rule 3030 and for the certifications, certified that no changes were needed to his Form U4 or that he had requested appropriate changes to the Form U4 regarding outside business activities.
