FINRA Public Disclosure shows that Mr. Langer has been the subject of discloses at least one investor complaint, filed in October 2025, which alleges that while associated with JP Morgan Securities, Langer “affixed the electronic signature of a contact person to a document without authorization.” The FINRA securities arbitration claim alleges damages of $559,055.
FINRA Public Disclosure also shows that Mr. Langer was termination from JP Morgan Securities in July 2025, connection with allegedly affixing “a third-party legal representative’s electronic signature to a document without authorization.”
FINRA Regulatory Notice issued in 2022 illustrates why brokers like Mr. Langer are forbidden from forging or falsifying signatures without authorization, whether their customers’ or those of third parties. “Signing someone else’s name to a document violates FINRA rules when it is a forgery or falsification,” the notice explains. “Forgery occurs when one person signs or affixes, or causes to be signed or affixed, another person’s name or initials on a document without the other person’s prior permission.” Such actions violate FINRA Rule 2010, under which brokers must observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade in the conduct of their business.
