CONSUMER CREDIT ACTIVITY

CapexMD, LLC

On February 26, 2026, the Commissioner entered into a Consent Order with CapexMD, LLC (NMLS # 2326897), ("CapexMD"), a Scottsdale, Arizona company. The Consent Order was based on an investigation by the Consumer Credit Division which stemmed from the routine examination of a licensee. As result of such investigation, the Commissioner alleged that, since at least November 2023, CapexMD made small loans to forty-one (41) Connecticut borrowers without the required license, in violation of Section 36a 556(a)(1) of the Connecticut General Statutes, in effect at such time, and received payments, including, but not limited to, payments for principal, interest or fees, in connection with such small loans, in violation of Section 36a 556(a)(4), in effect at such time. As part of the Consent Order, CapexMD paid $10,000 as a civil penalty, $800 for back licensing fees and reimbursed identified Connecticut borrowers who paid in excess of an annual percentage rate of 12% while CapexMD was not licensed as a small loan company in Connecticut.

SECURITIES AND BUSINESS INVESTMENTS DIVISION ACTIVITY

Jason A. Goodhue (CRD No. 5121680)

On February 20, 2026, following an administrative hearing on October 1, 2025 and October 2, 2025, the Banking Commissioner issued Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order (Matter No. CF-24-8398-S) against Jason A. Goodhue, a Connecticut registered broker-dealer agent located at 129 Stonepost Road, Glastonbury, Connecticut 06033.

The action had been preceded by a December 18, 2024 Order to Cease and Desist, Notice of Intent to Fine and Notice of Right to Hearing (No. CF-24-8398-S) alleging that, while employed by his previous broker-dealer, Buell Securities Inc., Goodhue effected securities transactions electronically with a purported client of the firm without speaking with the client directly. The action also alleged that Goodhue exercised discretionary trading authority in the client's account without the client's authorization. Ultimately, following the client's discovery of the $73,000 in missing funds, it was ascertained that the electronic communications were fraudulent though seemingly sent from the client's e-mail account. Some of the transferred funds were recovered. Buell Securities Inc. replaced any remaining balance allowing the client to fully recover its funds.

Respondent was represented by counsel at the hearing.

The Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Order upheld the Commissioner's position that Goodhue violated Section 36b-4(b) of the Connecticut Uniform Securities Act by engaging in dishonest or unethical practices and that he violated Section 36b-31-15b(a)(8) of the Regulations under the Act by exercising discretionary power in effecting transactions for a customer's account without obtaining written discretionary authority.

Respondent was directed to cease and desist from regulatory violations and fined $15,000.
