Mohammed A. Salim (CRD# 7126671), a financial broker, with five years of industry experience, has been permanently barred from associating with any FINRA member firm following allegations of unauthorized sales and improper transfers of funds from a customer’s account to cover his personal creditors.
At the time of the alleged misconduct, Salim was employed by Morgan Stanley in Deer Park, New York. The firm disclosed that it had terminated Salims’ registration due to concerns involving unauthorized sales and customer fund transfers. According to FINRA, while Salim did not admit or deny the findings, he chose not to appear for on-the-record testimony after initially cooperating with the investigation.  
FINRA regulates the brokerage industry and investigate when things go awry.  To prevent similar misconduct, firms are encouraged to strengthen internal controls that detect unusual account activity including unauthorized transfers or third-party payments.  Regular audits, close supervision of broker activity, and implementing robust customer verification policies can reduce the risk of financial exploitation and help protect investors.  Investors themselves should also monitor their account statements carefully and immediately report any discrepancies.Mohammed A.
