Keenan had been employed with Train Babcock Advisors from about 5\/2007 to 8\/2012. It was during this time that the former financial adviser stole over $1.6M from the beneficiaries of three trusts.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did Keenan take their money, but he also spent the funds on his own expenses. He set up a joint checking account under his name and the name of one of the beneficiaries, and he issued over 40 checks from the trust accounts to the joint account. The beneficiary under whose name he co-opened the account did not have access to it.<\/p>\n<p>Issuing a statement about the financial fraud case, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance reminded the public that a financial adviser&#8217;s main duty is to act in a client\u2019s best interest. Vance said that rather than fulfilling that obligation, Keenan took advantage of his clients.
