Regulation

Clients were allegedly steered into investments maximizing revenue for the bank and employees.

Investors brought a class-action suit against brokerage alleging a "scheme to churn revenue from essentially dead assets."

Many of the trades should have triggered market manipulation concerns because they involved companies that were barely operating but engaging heavily in promotional activity, the SEC says.

David Olson, an advisor of nearly 30 years, worked at Morgan Stanley until his termination in 2016.

The Advisor Group IBD added three new teams, but state regulators required enhanced oversight of one new recruit.

In addition to winning a $25,000 award, ex-J.P. Morgan rep Mihail Naumovski was able to expunge erroneous information on his Form U5 that he violated investment-related regulations.

The firm falsely claimed on his Form U5 that he deliberately changed a customer’s address from California to New Hampshire to facilitate the sale of an annuity, the broker alleged.

Advisors who should self-report a violation — but don’t — could face enforcement actions.

A former spiritual advisor to presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama plans to turn himself in as his attorney vows innocence.

The broker misappropriated his clients’ investment money for rent, credit card bills and other personal uses, investigators say.
