In February, Securities America terminated Mr. Barber, who worked in Colorado Springs, Colo., for "soliciting customers to purchase an unapproved securities product and participating in an unapproved outside business activity." Mr. Barber began his securities career in 1998 at Lincoln Investment Planning and moved to Securities America in 2000.
