According to reports on June 26, former New Jersey broker, Michael Alan Siegel is allegedly facing three years in prison after pleading guilty to allegedly stealing more than $270,000 from an elderly couple.

In January 2014, Siegel reportedly recommended that the couple should invest in an options program, allegedly instructing them to make the checks out to him rather than to his firm, according to a statement from the Office of the Attorney General of New Jersey.

Unfortunately for the investors, there was no options program and Siegel purportedly kept the money for himself.

After reaching a plea deal with the attorney general, Siegel reportedly must pay restitution of the full amount to the surviving member of the couple. Further, the AG has reportedly recommended a three-year sentence, and Siegel is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 13, according to various news sources.

Most recently he was registered with National Securities Corp. until May 2016. FINRA reportedly barred Siegel in 2016 over his alleged failure to respond to a notice of suspension, according to his broker check report.

Additionally, In February 2018, the New Jersey Bureau of Securities fined Siegel $100,000, revoked his registration in the state and referred his case to the Division of Criminal Justice, according to FINRA.
