The executive director of the British Columbia Securities Commission has issued a notice of hearing seeking reciprocal orders against Dirk Christian Lohrisch based on a July 26, 2010 decision of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada .

In the IIROC decision, the panel found that Lohrisch, a Vancouver, B.C. resident, had contravened its dealer member rules when he: submitted a registration form to IIROC that was misleading about his credentials; submitted a forged a transcript to IIROC; and attempted to obstruct IIROC staff’s investigation into his conduct.

The IIROC panel imposed a permanent ban on Lohrisch from approval in any capacity, fined him $40,000 and ordered him to pay costs of $27,000.
