FINRA Bars Former TransAmerica Financial Advisor George Jing for Failing to Cooperate in Investigation
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has barred former TransAmerica Financial Advisors broker George Jing (CRD #2835725) after he allegedly refused to cooperate in an investigation into undisclosed outside business activities and private securities transactions.
According to FINRA’s Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (No. 2025086695201), the regulator requested documents and information from Jing in August 2025 as part of a review into potential unapproved securities dealings. Through counsel, Jing later informed FINRA that he would not comply with the request.
FINRA determined that his refusal violated FINRA Rules 8210 and 2010, which require members to fully cooperate with regulatory investigations. As a result, Jing was barred from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity.
Termination from TransAmerica Financial Advisors
According to his BrokerCheck report, Jing was terminated by TransAmerica Financial Advisors in August 2025 after allegations surfaced that he participated in undisclosed outside business activities and/or private securities transactions—commonly referred to as “selling away.”
Before his termination, Jing held 28 years of securities industry experience, working at firms including World Group Securities in Maryland and WMA Securities in Georgia.
Undisclosed Investments and Risks to Investors
Outside business activities and private securities transactions pose significant risks to investors because they often occur without firm oversight or compliance review. This lack of transparency can expose clients to unregistered or fraudulent investments and potential financial loss.
FINRA continues to enforce strict disclosure requirements to ensure firms are aware of brokers’ external financial dealings and can properly supervise investment activity.
