According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), former Aegis Capital Corporation (Aegis) stockbroker Malcolm Segal, of Langhorne, Pennsylvania and Boynton Beach, Florida, is under investigation for a Pennsylvania-based customer complaint alleging that $225,000 was transferred from his account without his authorization. According to FINRA records, “Mr. Segal failed to cooperate with an internal investigation into a customer complaint alleging that in December 2013, Mr. Segal, on an unauthorized basis, transferred monies via wire from the client’s account.” Malcolm Segal was discharged by Aegis on July 28, 2014.
In addition to alleged unauthorized transfers of funds, our law firm is also investigating whether Mr. Segal engaged in unauthorized sales of certificates of deposit to Aegis customers.
Broker-dealers must establish and implement a reasonable supervisory system to protect customers from broker misconduct. If broker-dealers do not establish and implement a reasonable supervisory system, they may be liable to investors for damages flowing from the misconduct. Therefore, investors who have suffered damages due to a stockbroker’s unauthorized transfers of funds, theft and/or misappropriations such as those unauthorized transfers allegedly committed by Mr. Segal can bring forth claims to recover losses against Aegis, which should have prevented its broker from committing illegal activity.
