Breaking away is like a drug problem. Once you take the breakaway drug its hard to resist another deal. Greg Fleming understands this and had always been a formidable recruiter. Especially when he can leverage a white shoe brand like Morgan Stanley and now Rockefeller. My only question is what is the brand worth and what is the advisor worth?

they got the hightower's good looking broker, but not the brains. the talent, brains, and work ethic rest in his nick bapis. No one in this business compares to him.
