Freeman misused funds that were not his by charging personal expenses on his corporate credit card, in violation of his member firm’s policies, and not making payment when it was due. Freeman’s member firm did not authorize the charges and paid the outstanding balance of approximately $2,000 on Freeman’s corporate card after he failed to pay the bill for over six months.
