In March, Securities America terminated Mr. Coburn because he was “involved in the solicitation of multiple clients to invest in an unapproved private securities transaction and engaged in the settlement of a related customer complaint without the firm’s knowledge or consent,” according to Mr. Coburn’s BrokerCheck records.

He is no longer associated with a Finra member firm.
