San Francisco, California--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2026) - On November 5, 2026, investors in Webull Corporation (NASDAQ: BULL) saw the price of their shares slide nearly 11% after FINRA announced that it fined the company $4.2 million "for failing to implement reasonably designed programs for anti-money laundering (AML), identity theft prevention and best execution."

The latest development follows a securities class action filed after the House Select Committee's October 7 findings regarding the company's operations and workforce ties in mainland China.

The FINRA Development

On November 5, 2026, announcing a multimillion dollar fine against Webull, FINRA's Head of Enforcement, Bill St. Louis, put it succinctly:

• "Webull's business grew rapidly, but its compliance program did not keep pace[;]"
• "Firms must ensure that their supervisory systems grow with their business and address the risks they present[;]" and
• "Webull failed to do so in fundamental areas, including verifying its customers' identities, detecting suspicious activity and ensuring the best possible execution of customer trades."

Regarding AML violations, FINRA found that between January 2020 and September 2023, Webull approved the opening of 120,000 new customer accounts without forming a reasonable belief that it knew the true identity of those customers.

Webull (BULL) Securities Class Action Overview:

The complaint alleges Webull misled investors about the nature of its business structure, claiming core operations were based in the U.S. and that mainland China facilities provided only minimal technical support.

Investors allegedly learned the truth on October 7, 2026, when the House Select Committee published findings confirming Webull's data practices expose U.S. investors to PRC surveillance risk, its governance is dominated by PRC-linked control, and its subsidiary accepted PRC government funding conditional on CCP loyalty. The Committee also cited misrepresentations regarding employee supervision, weaker-than-promised regulatory controls, and concerning clearing safeguards.

On this news, Webull stock fell ~19% to close at $5.89 per share.

"We're reviewing the Select Committee's findings and whether, if accurate, Webull may have intentionally misled investors about its corporate structure and violated applicable securities laws. Amid the FINRA fine, we've expanded our review to include its findings and whether the company may have misled investors about its compliance programs," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm's investigation.
