Stockbroker Theft Not Uncommon

Investors understand that there are risks associated with any investment and losing money is always a possibility. However, some losses don’t come from investment losses, but from stockbroker theft.

Stockbroker theft is prevalent and FINRA reports numerous cases of stockbrokers wrongly taking money from clients. Investors may not immediately notice when funds disappear from their account. Brokers have access to private information about their clients, which can allow them to steal from their clients without being detected.
