During the course of six years, Kitts purportedly made 82 withdrawals from seven clients’ accounts and allegedly used the money to buy several luxury automobiles and vacations for herself.

According to Kitts’ FINRA BrokerCheck report, she was reportedly registered with Royal Alliance Associates in Palmer, MA from April 2004 until she was dismissed in November 2017 following allegations of fund misappropriation.
