On December 4, 2023, a client of Morgan Stanley alleged that Saad improperly maintained a position in Apple stock within a managed account, despite the client’s known intent not to sell.

Particularly, on April 10, 2013, a client of Edward Jones claimed that Saad failed to advise them on the tax ramifications of an annuity liquidation, which resulted in a $12,000 tax burden. The complaint was denied after documents allegedly showed that the client and their family had been informed of potential tax consequences.
Specifically, on December 4, 2023, Morgan Stanley discharged Saad, alleging that he provided inconsistent information during an internal review.
Previously, on February 20, 2013, Edward Jones terminated Saad’s employment, citing that he provided inaccurate information regarding an income rider on a single variable annuity contract and the contract's delivery location.
