Investigation into Claims Involving Stewart Clinton Malloy

Sonn Law Group is investigating claims regarding Stewart Clinton Malloy (CRD #1029931, Bellport, New York). Malloy recently submitted an AWC in which he was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member firm in any capacity for 30 business days. See FINRA Case #2013035953801. Malloy was associated with Morgan Stanley from September 1996 until October 2015.

FINRA found that Malloy effected transactions in the account of customers without having obtained prior written authorization from the customers and written acceptance of the account as discretionary by Morgan Stanley. FINRA also found that Malloy falsely stated on a compliance questionnaire that he had no discretionary accounts. In entering into the AWC, Malloy neither admitted nor denied FINRA’s findings.

Pursuant to FINRA Rules, member firms are responsible for supervising a broker’s activities during the time the broker is registered with the firm. Therefore, Morgan Stanley be liable for investment or other losses suffered by Malloy’s customers.
