Karen McKinley was a previously licensed financial advisor/broker with Morgan Stanley. According to FINRA, Karen McKinley was barred from the securities industry in November 2016.
According to the SEC:
The Securities and Exchange Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be instituted against Karen McKinley (“McKinley” or”Respondent”). After an investigation, the Division of Enforcement alleges that on November 17, 2017, a Hillsborough County New Hampshire Grand Jury indicted McKinley on seven counts of Theft by Unauthorized Taking or Transfer (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. 637:3); four counts of Financial Exploitation of an Elderly, Disabled, or Impaired Adult (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. 631:9); and one count of Falsifying Physical Evidence (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. 641:6) in connection with her handling of accounts of an elderly brokerage firm client from Peterborough, New Hampshire. It was alleged that between 2013 and 2016 while she was associated with the brokerage firm McKinley stole nearly $300,000 from the accounts of the elderly client. On October 11, 2018, before the Hillsborough Superior Court in Case No. 216-2017-CR-02034, McKinley pleaded guilty to seven counts of Theft by Unauthorized Taking or Transfer; four counts of Financial Exploitation of an Elderly, Disabled, or Impaired Adult; and one count of Falsifying Physical Evidence. Following her guilty plea, on February 1, 2019, McKinley was sentenced to 7.5 to 15 years in prison, with four years of the sentence suspended for five years. The court also ordered McKinley to have no contact with the victim, her former client.
