Good Day! From: Whistle Blower [mailto:WhistleBlower@finra.org] Sent: Friday, February 10, 2017 4:54 PM To: Charles Lynch; Whistle Blower Subject: RE: ETrade Closing IRA and Trading Account Mr. Lynch, Thank you for contacting FINRA’s Office of the Whistleblower. Please note that we cannot provide you with legal or investment advice. I suggest you consult with your own counsel regarding options that may be available to you. Regards, Joseph Ozag From: Charles Lynch [mailto:charleslynch@charleslynch.com] Sent: Friday, February 10, 2017 2:02 AM To: Whistle Blower Subject: ETrade Closing IRA and Trading Account E*TRADE Securities is closing my accounts for a 10 year old marijuana arrest. I operated a City Sanctioned Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Morro Bay California and was convicted in Federal Court of distributing marijuana. I was not convicted of any money crimes or violence. My case is before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and I have a strong chance winning. E*TRADE has been trying to close my accounts for years because of my marijuana arrest but said they would wait until the completion of my 9th Circuit Court of appeals Decision. My case is nearly 10 years old. I submit to you that E*TRADE wants to close my account and deny me being a part of the Free Market for a Marijuana Arrest, while on the other hand they Sell Stocks in companies that are distributing a schedule I drug, marijuana, which is against Federal Law. I have a frozen E*TRADE IRA account so I posted on Social Media a question to E*TRADE asking about their policy regarding Marijuana Arrests. I did not receive a response and instead the Next day have noticed that E*TRADE has begun closing my accounts without my request or consent. I have been dragged through Federal Court over Medical Marijuana so I have a pretty clear understanding of the Federal Controlled Substance Act and what operating a Continuing Criminal Enterprise means. And for E*TRADE to deny myself and others with marijuana arrests while they conspire to distribute Marijuana through the sale and Transfer of Stock through Marijuana Companies is not only immoral but also a Federal Crime at RICO levels I assert. So if E*TRADE insists in denying me an account for a Marijuana arrest, then I insist on filing a Federal Complaint against E*TRADE and other brokers of Conspiring to Distribute Marijuana and using the power of their financial institutions to deny me my rights and others to be a part of the Free Market so they can have complete control of an entire emerging industry. Please respond to me as soon as possible.
