Allegations Against Mohammed Karim

FINRA started an investigation into financial advisor, Mohammed Karim of Lakeland, Florida after he was fired by Truist Investment Services in August 2025.  FINRA alleged that it was investigating allegations that Mr. Karim “used the former clients’ credit card for his own personal expenses” and “may have exerted influence over the clients to place his name on external accounts as the beneficiary”.  He did not cooperate with FINRA’s investigation, and as such, he was barred under FINRA Rule 8210. 

Background on Mohammed Karim

Mohammed Karim was licensed with Truist Investment Services from February 2021 to August 2025.   He worked in a Lakeland, Florida office, and has also been charged with theft and scheme to defraud by Polk County, Florida.

Is Truist Investment Services Liable for Customer Investment Losses?

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