FINRA Panel Awards Estate Over $34M from Morgan Stanley in the Wake of Churning Allegations<\/strong>
\nA Financial Industry Regulatory Authority arbitration panel awarded the estate of Home Shopping Network Roy M. Speer over $34M in its case against Morgan Stanley (MS). The panel ruled that the firm, branch manager Terry McCoy, and broker Ami Forte were jointly liable for breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, unauthorized trading, constructive fraud, unjust enrichment, and negligent supervision. The alleged negligence would have occurred from 1\/09 to 6\/12 and involved investments in the financial services and banking sectors.<\/p>\n

According to Mrs. Speer\u2019s lawyer, in six of Mr. Speer\u2019s accounts, about 12,000 transactions took place, most of them involving municipal bond trading and corporate trading. Many of these trades were unauthorized.<\/p>\n

The arbitrators awarded $32.8M in compensatory damages to Speer\u2019s widow, Lynnda Speer, and $1.5M for the costs involved in the arbitration process. The panel said that Morgan Stanley violated a law in Florida that prohibits the exploitation of vulnerable adults. Mr. Speer had dementia. Forte, who was his broker, is said to have been in a relationship with him.<\/p>\n
