Ex- Morgan Stanley Broker Pleads Guilty to $6M Investment Fraud
Ex-Morgan Stanley Broker Admits To Criminal Investment Fraud, Faces SEC Charges
Michael Barry Carter, a former Morgan Stanley (MS) broker, has pleaded guilty to federal investment fraud and wire fraud charges involving a scam in which he defrauded five customers. This included at least one elderly client, of more than $6M. The scheme took place over 12 years. After his acts of broker fraud were uncovered, Carter took money from other investors to pay back his other victims.
Morgan Stanley fired Carter last year. He also is now facing parallel Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) civil charges.
