Comment on FINRA Regulatory Notice 26-02: Rule Revisions to Help Member Firms Protect Senior Investors From Financial Exploitation and All Investors From Fraud
This one is personal. Justine Tobin’s own 91-year-old mother was financially exploited. When Tobin, a licensed industry professional, raised repeated warnings to the broker, she was ignored because she didn’t hold power-of-attorney. Her brother depleted the accounts before his death in May 2025. She’s now advocating for a rule requiring brokers to document, escalate, and act when licensed professionals raise exploitation concerns, regardless of formal legal standing.
