Finra said that Mr. Poynter was the subject of an inquiry into whether he had submitted inaccurate expenses under his former firm’s tuition reimbursement program. Mr. Poynter resigned from TD Ameritrade in May 2018 after the firm began its own investigation of the matter.
Mr. Poynter joined TD Ameritrade in 2012 after spending a year at Morgan Stanley and three years at NYLife Securities.
