Mass. fines Morgan Stanley over Facebook research

By Securities Docket on December 17, 2012, 6:18 pm

Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter for Facebook Inc’s initial public offering, will pay a $5 million fine to Massachusetts for violating securities laws governing how investment research can be distributed.

Massachusetts’ top securities regulator, William Galvin, on Monday charged that a top Morgan Stanley banker had improperly coached Facebook on how to disclose sensitive financial information selectively, perpetuating what he calls “an unlevel playing field” between Wall Street and Main Street.
