Dusty Sternadel, an adviser in Wichita Falls, Texas, has been terminated by Ameriprise Financial Services for “violation of company policies related to misappropriation of client funds,” according to her BrokerCheck record.
“Ms. Sternadel took steps to conceal her illegal activity by circumventing our controls and acting away from the firm,” Kathleen McClung, vice president of public relations for Ameriprise Financial, told a local television station in response to an inquiry.
No further information about the misappropriation of funds was available.
Sternadel had been affiliated with Ameriprise for four years. Earlier, she had been with Morgan Stanley and Edward Jones, each for four years.
