Morgan Stanley Smith Barney to pay $15M penalty to settle SEC charges
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney will pay a $15 million penalty as part of a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to four financial advisers who stole millions of dollars of advisory clients’ and brokerage customers’ funds.
