    Fiduciary Duty after Francis Pusateri retired; he met with Gilbert J. Johnson, a stockbroker with E. F. Hutton & Co., Inc., and informed Johnson that he wished to invest in tax-free bonds and money market accounts. Pusateri opened an investment account with E. F. Hutton and checked a box stating that his objective was “tax-free income and moderate growth.” During the course of a year, Johnson churned Pusateri’s account to make commissions and invested Pusateri’s funds in volatile securities and options. Johnson kept telling Pusateri that his account was making money, and the monthly statement from E. F. Hutton did not indicate otherwise. The manager at E. F. Hutton was aware of Johnson’s activities but did nothing to prevent them. When Johnson left E. F. Hutton, Pusateri’s account—which had been called the “laughingstock” of the office—had shrunk from $196,000 to $96,880. Pusateri sued E. F. Hutton for damages.…

    Employers can bear legal responsibility if they do not adequately monitor their employees. This is why sometimes extreme measures are taken to keep track of employee's computer usage. There is a case from New Jersey several years ago in which a company was held liable by an appellate court because an employee transmitted child pornography from his workplace computer. The court ruled this way because the employer had a policy which stated that all email messages sent from the workplace were the property of the employer, and not the employee, along with evidence which showed that company officials knew the employee was viewing pornography on his computer but did not take adequate steps to shut down such activities or investigate the extent of the employee's violations of company policy. This is a very chilling opinion for employers to digest.…
