Allegations Against Gregory Matthews

In May 2025, Gregory Matthews was fired by Morgan Stanley in New York.  BrokerCheck discloses “Allegations related to exercise of discretion without prior written authorization in four customer accounts, frequency of trading, and accuracy of order tickets marked unsolicited”.

That led FINRA to open its own investigation into Gregory Matthews’ conduct.  Matthews refused to cooperate with FINRA, and he was barred under FINRA Rule 8210.

Background on Gregory Matthews

Is Morgan Stanley Liable for its Advisors’ Conduct?

FINRA standards provide that brokerage firms like Morgan Stanley must reasonably supervise the activities of their financial advisors.   Firms that fail to do so could be responsible for investor losses.
