A scene straight out of Jaws: the sharks are circling, investors are in the water, and the people who are supposed to rescue them never show up. That’s exactly what’s happening with firms like AG Morgan Financial Advisors—built on a deceptive name, run by repeat offenders, and allowed to operate while regulators look the other way. Chris breaks down the suspensions, the arbitration losses, the long rap sheet, and why so many retirees lost millions before anyone stepped in. This episode is a blunt warning: you’re on your own unless you do the homework, check the records, and know who you're dealing with. Don’t be shark bait.
