California Broker Charged with Alleged Theft From Elderly Clients

JOSE A. CARBAJAL (CRD# 2691767), a financial advisor from Downey, California, was arrested recently for allegedly stealing $300,000.00 from his elderly clients. Criminal charges have been filed against Carbajal.

Jose Carbajal was charged with three counts of theft from an elderly person exceeding $200,000. Carbajal was arraigned in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

According to the investigation, Carbajal's elderly client began the investigation when she received a large tax bill from the IRS for a money transfer that had not been authorized by her. This investment account was managed by Jose Carbajal.
