The Wolper Law Firm is currently investigating claims against Christopher Hibbard, a former Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch in Louisville, Kentucky. Christopher Hibbard first entered the securities industry in the 1990s and previously worked for Morgan Keegan & Cop and AG Edwards.
According to publicly available records released by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), on February 2018, FINRA barred Christopher Hibbard from associating with a broker dealer for failing to respond to a subpoena, requesting information. This event fell on the heels of his termination by Merrill Lynch for “conduct including unauthorized transactions and theft.”
