Before denying, suspending, or revoking a registration, the Administrator must generally find that:

b.The registrant has been convicted of a felony
c.The registrant has caused a customer to lose money
d.A majority of the registrant's customers have complained
Explanation
Disciplinary orders require both a public interest finding and one of the enumerated statutory grounds, such as a material misstatement in an application, a securities-related conviction, an injunction, or a violation of the act. Procedural protections include prior notice, an opportunity for a hearing, and written findings. Customer losses and complaint counts may be evidence but are not themselves the legal standard.
