The allegations read: Lawson was named a respondent in a finra complaint alleging that she breached her fiduciary duties and ethical obligations owed to a trust, as a co-trustee, by failing to place the interests of the trust above her own interests. Lawson authorized and engaged in self-dealing arrangements that benefited herself, the other trustee, her member firm, other companies that the other trustee controlled, and third parties to the detriment of the trust by making more than $14 million in payments from the trust's account.
