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.
Fabian Cesar Seyller
AWC/2007009359601
Seyller engaged in outside business activities, and received $11,925.66 in compensation, without prompt written notice to his member firm. Seyller falsely asserted on an annual certification statement that he was not engaged in any undisclosed outside business activities and did not receive any referral fees. He falsely denied any involvement with equity indexed annuity sales when a supervisor directly questioned him. 
Fabian Cesar Seyller: Fined $5,000; Suspended 6 months
Bill Singer's Comment
As rumored throughout the industry, FINRA seems to be fixated on all sorts of annuities matters -- with a focus on EIAs.
