Former Morgan Stanley Rep Fired for Outside Business Activities

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

Travis Shannon, a former financial advisor with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney from September 2008

to July 2013, was fired by Morgan Stanley for undisclosed outside business activities.

Shannon also filed for bankruptcy numerous times between 2012 and 2014.

FINRA alleged that Travis Shannon sold a number of investments in three companies to his

customers. Those companies are “Aerobat Aviation, Inc.”, for which he was the CEO; “TC”, which bought and

sold used computer network equipment; “Zindigo”, which was a social commerce platform for the fashion

industry.  Travis Shannon failed to disclose the sales of these securities to his employer.

We just wanted to say thanks for your work in helping us get back some of the money we lost. We are not by any means rich, but we have saved some money and we have done so through a tight-fisted approach to most everything we do. So losing a significant chunk of money hurt…especially at a time when everyone else was growing their accounts. We really appreciate the work you did.
