There is a troubling lack of uniformity among regulators
To my eye, one trained through nearly three decades on Wall Street, I fail to appreciate any significant difference between PlanMember and China Yuchai - if anything, China Yuchai seems more directly involved in the software error that resulted in a $12.5 million reported error. As to PlanMember's liability, it seems largely predicated on its third-party vendor's miscue. While I understand that FINRA member firms must exercise reasonable oversight of outsider service providers, FINRA has not convinced me that this member firm's conduct warranted a censure and a $20,000 fine - particularly since a NYSE-listed company seems to have engaged in far worse supervision and merely agreed to a Cease and Desist order.
