“Piper Jaffray & Co. will pay a $700,000 fine after it failed to save about 4.3 million e-mails sent during a six-year period, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) said Monday.
FINRA, a non-governmental regulator of securities firms, said the Minneapolis-based investment bank did not disclose that it wasn’t retaining the e-mails. The issue was discovered when FINRA requested documents as part of an investigation into a former Piper employee.”
