NOTE: Stipulations of Fact and Consent to Penalty (SFC); Offers of Settlement (OS); and Letters of Acceptance Waiver, and Consent (AWC) are entered into by Respondents without admitting or denying the allegations, but consent is given to the described sanctions & to the entry of findings. Additionally, for AWCs, if FINRA has reason to believe a violation has occurred and the member or associated person does not dispute the violation, FINRA may prepare and request that the member or associated person execute a letter accepting a finding of violation, consenting to the imposition of sanctions, and agreeing to waive such member's or associated person's right to a hearing before a hearing panel, and any right of appeal to the National Adjudicatory Council, the SEC, and the courts, or to otherwise challenge the validity of the letter, if the letter is accepted. The letter shall describe the act or practice engaged in or omitted, the rule, regulation, or statutory provision violated, and the sanction or sanctions to be imposed.
Hedge Fund Capital Partners, LLC and Howard Gordon Jahre (Principal)
OS/2007008358101

Acting through Jahre, the Firm filed a misleading and inaccurate Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (Form U5) in connection with a registered representative’s termination. 

Hedge Fund Capital Partners, LLC: Censured; Fined $10,000

Howard Gordon Jahre: Fined $10,000; Suspended 10 business day in Principal Capacity

Bill Singer's Comment
An interesting case. You rarely see any firm or individual cited these days for filing a "misleading and inaccurate" U5.  Moreover, since FINRA did not allege that the filing was done willfully, this seems a fairly minor matter but still interesting for the sanctions.
