gerald-dewes-refusal-to-appear-for-testimonyGerald Dewes (CRD#: 2465538) was discharged from Cadaret, Grant & Co., in November 2019 after allegations that he sold away from the firm by soliciting client investments into an undisclosed outside business activity, Elite Roasters, Inc., for which he was an officer and a director. Based on this information, FINRA initiated an investigation into Dewes.

In connection with their investigation, FINRA sent a request to Dewes that he appear for on-the-record testimony. Dewes’s attorney sent an email to FINRA’s staff on March 20, 2020, stating that he received FINRA’s request and would not appear for testimony at any time.

By refusing to appear for testimony, Dewes violated FINRA Rule 8210. FINRA sanctioned Dewes in the form of a bar from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity.

Dewes has five other disclosures on his BrokerCheck report.
