Zachary Ross McCraw (also known as Zach McCraw), of Ridgeland, Mississippi, a stockbroker registered with Pruco Securities LLC, has been barred from associating with any Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member in any capacity because McCraw failed to comply with an investigation into his potential forgery of customer signatures on insurance forms. Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent No. 2023079296701 (July 18, 2024).
On July 17, 2023, Pruco filed a Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration (Form U5) disclosing that McCraw had voluntarily resigned for submitting documents containing non-genuine electronic customer signatures and for inputting false dates on insurance forms.
FINRA initiated an investigation into McCraw following the July 2023 Form U5. Initially, McCraw cooperated with the investigation. However, in June 2024, he stopped cooperating. On June 10, 2024, FINRA sent a request to McCraw for testimony under FINRA Rule 8210. Despite acknowledging the request through his attorney on June 17, 2024, McCraw refused to appear for testimony. This refusal violated FINRA Rules 2010 and 8210.
McCraw was associated with Pruco Securities LLC in Ridgeland, Mississippi from November 9, 2018, to July 17, 2023.
