BCSC Panel Issues Permanent Ban Against Former Investment Advisor
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/21/12 -- A British Columbia Securities Commission panel has permanently banned a former investment advisor from B.C.'s capital markets based on a July 26, 2010 decision of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC).
In its decision, the panel relied on the IIROC hearing panel's finding that Dirk Christian Lohrisch, a Vancouver resident, breached IIROC's dealer member rules when he:
The IIROC panel imposed a permanent ban on Lohrisch from approval in any capacity, fined him $40,000 and ordered him to pay costs of $27,000.
The panel found that Lohrisch's conduct was contrary to the public interest and warranted orders broader than those able to be imposed by IIROC. The panel said, "not only has Lohrisch followed a path of dishonesty, he shows no remorse."
For his misconduct, Lohrisch is permanently prohibited, with limited exceptions, from purchasing securities or exchange contracts and acting as a director or officer of any issuer or registrant.
Lohrisch is also permanently banned from becoming or acting as a registrant, investment fund manager, or promoter, from acting in a management or consultative capacity in connection with the securities market, and from engaging in investor relations activities.
