February 19, 2026 - NEW CASE: Meissner Associates files FINRA arbitration against T. Rowe Price for failing to protect an 85-year-old widow from a $1.1M "pump-and-dump" cyber-heist.
Today, Meissner Associates filed a major FINRA arbitration claim on behalf of a retired widow in Elmhurst, NY, whose lifelong $1.14 million portfolio was decimated in under an hour.

This wasn't just a hack—it was a sophisticated "pump-and-dump" scheme. Cyber-criminals liquidated her conservative blue-chip holdings (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia) to purchase 475,200 shares of a speculative Chinese penny stock. Despite IP data showing logins from California and Florida within minutes of each other, no red flags were triggered.

Worst of all, T. Rowe Price has refused to honor its "Account Protection Program," instead choosing to blame the 85-year-old victim.

We are holding them accountable for these systemic compliance failures and are cooperating with the SEC and NYPD on this matter. , AARP

Our client's whistleblower retaliation & accounting fraud lawsuit was filed this week in Fla Federal District Court relating to her former employer Disney, including allegations of retaliation due to her SEC Whistleblowing which violates the Dodd-Frank statute.

Attorney James Sallah said if true, the allegations in the complaint, specifically of accounting fraud and deficiency of internal controls, could be the basis of federal securities law violations if they made their way into public documents and are known internally to be inaccurate.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission received about 4,000 tips, complaints and referrals of possible corporate wrongdoings from mid-March to mid-May, 35% more than in the same period last year.
