Jacob Frenkel was quoted recently in AdvisorHub's article, "Finra Dusts Off Sanction Guidelines, Eliminates Suggested Fine Cap."

Jacob’s express concern is less the available range of fines but the judgment of those who determine penalties. He believes that formulaic approaches to sanctions are only meaningful when those who make the sanction recommendations and decisions employ discretion and fairness in their decision-making. “This is old news repackaged as news, but at the same time, it’s an important repackaging,” said Jacob.
