AWC/2008012940101
Associated Person Glaser misappropriated funds from a customer’s account for her own use and benefit. Glaser, who was responsible for establishing direct payments and paying some of the customer’s monthly bills, set up an account on a non-firm Web site that was an online bill paying payment service without the customer’s authorization. Glaser used this online service to direct unauthorized payments totaling $8,679.27 from the customer’s securities account to Glaser’s creditors to pay for personal expenses.

Bill Singer's Comment
Actually, an interesting set of facts.  Is there some guidance that FINRA would offer its members as to ways to detect such activities or steps to be taken to prevent such fraud?
