Financial Advisor Christopher Philip Arnella Suspended by FINRA

Christopher Arnella, who works for Morgan Stanley in New York, NY, has settled a complaint from an investor and has been suspended by FINRA. The complaint was regarding unsuitable investment recommendations and was settled in favor of the investor for $2,500,000. Arnella was suspended by FINRA for making promissory and unwarranted statements about a publicly traded company, and statements that predicted the future performance of the company’s stock. The matter allegedly originated from FINRA’s review of a customer-initiated arbitration complaint. 

FINRA found that Arnella publicly posted his opinion about what he expected the future stock price of the company to be by the end of 2018. He also allegedly stated, in writing, to two firm customers that there was a “100 percent” chance that the company’s loss in a patent litigation trial would be overturned.
