This is not acceptable and neither First Central nor any of its agents may conduct business in Wisconsin

Explanation:

It is not acceptable beacause an agent's registration is bound to the broker-dealer's registration. His registration would also have been revoked by the Administrator.

In order to do business with existing clients who are residents of the state, a broker-dealer ought to be registered in the state, and its agents must be eligible to register in the state. Since, First Central is no longer registered in the state, its agents are ineligible for registration in the state.
