On July 31, 2023, Leila Gough voluntarily resigned from Wells Fargo following allegations regarding her use of a third-party communications system to conduct client business. 

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Using a third-party communications system may violate this rule. 

FINRA Rule 3110 

FINRA Rule 3110 requires that firms establish supervisory systems to ensure their compliance with securities regulations. Supervision includes business communications, and for that reason, brokers are not allowed to communicate with investors outside of official business channels.
