The securities were sold for Flag Resources Limited, an Alberta-incorporated mining company that was pulled from the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2005.
The company was later ordered by the BCSC to cease trading for failing to file financial records.
Along with being fined, Snider is prohibited from trading or purchasing securities along with a handful of other sanctions.
