FINRA BrokerCheck shows a pending customer complaint on January 13, 2025.
Christensen was named a respondent in a FINRA complaint alleging that he failed to provide documents and information requested by FINRA on two occasions as part of its examination of his OBAs and private securities transactions. The complaint alleges that FINRA opened a cause examination after the parent company of Christensen’s member firm declared bankruptcy. Christensen was the founder and chief executive officer of the company. The company, through various subsidiaries, raised millions of dollars from thousands of investors purportedly to invest in real estate projects. Christensen’s role with the company was disclosed on his Form U4. The complaint also alleges that Christensen failed to appear for testimony requested by FINRA on two occasions as part of its examination. After receiving the first requests for documents and information and to appear for testimony, Christensen’s counsel submitted a letter to FINRA requesting an indefinite stay of its examination pending the conclusion of other proceedings related to Christensen’s conduct. FINRA denied Christensen’s counsel’s request for a stay. Christensen’s failure to provide documents and information and to provide testimony significantly impeded FINRA’s examination and deprived it of material information regarding his alleged OBAs and private securities transactions.
