<p>Did you invest with financial advisor Michael Schoolcraft of Lisle, Illinois? Israels & Neuman is looking into claims against this advisor, who previously worked with MML Investors Services from May 2016 to May 2026.&nbsp; He was recently barred from the securities industry for failing to respond to an investigation by FINRA.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-allegations-against-michael-schoolcraft"><strong>Allegations Against Michael Schoolcraft</strong></h2>



<p>In June 2026 FINRA requested documents and information from Schoolcraft during its investigation.  The investigation started after Schoolcraft was terminated by MML Investors Services regarding “personal loan transactions” with customers.  Generally, financial advisors <a href="https://www.israelsneuman.com/practice-areas/breach-of-fiduciary/">cannot borrow money from customers</a>, with limited exceptions.  After Schoolcraft refused to cooperate with FINRA’s investigation, he was barred from the securities industry.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-background-on-michael-schoolcraft"><strong>Background on Michael Schoolcraft</strong></h2>



<p>Michael Schoolcraft was licensed with MML Investors Services from May 2016 to May 2026. &nbsp;&nbsp;He worked in a Lisle, Illinois office.&nbsp; He also had insurance licenses through Mass Mutual Life Insurance Company.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-mml-investors-services-potentially-liable-for-its-advisors-conduct"><strong>Is MML Investors Services Potentially Liable for its advisors’ Conduct?</strong></h2>



<p><a href="https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/finra-rules">FINRA</a> standards provide that brokerage firms like MML Investors Services must reasonably supervise the activities of their financial advisors.   Firms that fail to do so could be responsible for investor losses. </p>
