Andrew,

As we discussed, based on NFA's discovery this week that you have been acting as a AP without being registered as such, staff will 

not be recommending to the Membership Committee that you be conditionally registered. I will be in touch once staff decides how 

to proceed.

Thank you,

Heather O'Hara

Ms. O’Hara

Thank you for the call this afternoon to clarify the status/process from here on out. If you would, please send what we discussed in 

writing so I can then forward to the CEO of my firm to keep him updated.
