National investment loss lawyers KlaymanToskes is investigating broker Douglas McKelvey (CRD# 4502849) of Morgan Stanley, who has been permanently barred from acting as a broker by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) following allegations that he engaged in a fraudulent scheme through which he misappropriated more than $1.7 million from accounts of two elderly customers.
The complaint further alleged that McKelvey sold securities from the customers’ accounts to generate a portion of the funds he misappropriated and took steps attempting to conceal his misconduct. McKelvey was registered with Morgan Stanley in Southlake, TX from 2009 to April 2022, and was permanently barred from acting as a broker by FINRA in August 2022.
On June 6, 2023, McKelvey pled guilty to one count of money laundering in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1957 before a United States Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. A settlement was reportedly reached on January 24, 2024, whereby McKelvey is permanently barred from working in the securities industry and from participating in penny stock offerings.
