Update on John Michael Babiarz Fraud

According to FA-Mag.com, former broker John Michael Babiarz accused of defrauding several Massachusetts residents out of their retirement savings, pled guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

In 2011 Babiarz employment as a registered broker with Bishop, Rosen & Co. was terminated. According to reports, prosecutors said he lied to several clients and told them that he was hired by Fidelity Investments. Babiarz helped clients set up online brokerage accounts at Fidelity, giving him access to their usernames and passwords. He then transferred clients money to other accounts that he controlled and used the money for personal expenses.

In addition the Massachusetts Securities Division brought a similar complaint against Babiarz. To read more about the complaint visit our earlier post, here.

When registered broker steals from clients and encages in unsavory business practices, the brokerage firm where they work may be liable for investment losses.
