The now-former chief compliance officer for a New York-based registered investment adviser stole more than $480,000 from the firm’s elderly clients and tried to conceal her misdeeds by hacking into her colleagues’ computers and using voice-altering software, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

Jennifer Campbell, 47, of Niagara Falls, New York, now faces civil charges from the SEC along with parallel criminal charges from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York for the alleged scheme, which unfolded between early 2019 and the spring of 2021.
