AWC/2007009371801
Jordan caused customer telephone records at her member firm to be altered without authorization. Shortly before resigning from her firm to begin working at another member firm, Jordan deleted certain customer telephone numbers and made inaccurate updates to other customer telephone numbers to slow down other registered representatives at the firm who Jordan believed would be assigned to call her customers after she resigned. By changing customer telephone numbers, Jordan caused the firm’s books and records to be inaccurate.

Bill Singer's Comment
Can't even begin to count the number of calls I've gotten asking about this exact scenario. And, worse, I can't even count the number of times I tell RRs not to do this but they disregard my counsel and then call me crying about having gotten caught!
