Mohammed Salim of Morgan Stanley in NY is Barred from the Securities Industry

Financial Advisor, Mohammed Salim was “discharged” by Morgan Stanley in October 2024. According to FINRA, Morgan Stanley disclosed in a filing that Mr. Salim was terminated surrounding allegations “related to unauthorized sales, and funds transfers from a customer’s account to the representative’s creditors”. Terminations like this typically draw scrutiny from a regulator like FINRA.

FINRA then opened its own investigation into Salim and sent him requests for documents and information. FINRA alleged that he ceased responding to the investigation and refused to appear for on-the-record testimony. As such, pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210, FINRA barred this advisor from the securities industry.
