Lounsbury accepted compensation from an outside business activity without providing written notice of such compensation to his firm, and completed and submitted questionnaires to his firm in which he falsely indicated that he was not receiving outside compensation without prior approval. Lounsbury thereafter disclosed to his manager that he had been receiving compensation as trustee for the customer’s trust and repaid the trust the entire amount he had received as payment, plus interest.
