The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. has barred former State Farm mutual fund rep Cody Rock for failing to provide information requested in an investigation into his auto loans. In a letter of acceptance, waiver and consent, Finra said that Mr. Rock was allowed to resign from State Farm on Sept. 1 after which State Farm filed a U5 form saying that it permitted the resignation "due to concerns related to [Mr. Rock] providing inaccurate information on auto loans for himself." Mr. Rock, who held a Series 6 license, is no longer employed in the securities industry. He began his career in 2015 at State Farm.
