The sanctions were based on FINRA’s findings that Woods submitted applications to purchase real estate investment trusts (REITs) that overstated the customers’ liquid net worth in order to circumvent his member firm’s restrictions.

The findings stated that Woods did not have a reasonable basis for recommending that the customers purchase the REITs, which were inconsistent with the customers’ investment profiles. Woods received $5,600.70 in commissions in connection with these recommendations.

Woods has 11 other disclosures on his BrokerCheck report.
