Mexico Investors File $500K Northstar Bermuda Claim

Northstar Bermuda FINRA Arbitration Hearing to Take Place in Houston, Texas

A couple who live in Mexico has filed a FINRA arbitration claim against Wells Fargo Clearing Services for the six-figure loss they sustained from investing in Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda).

The claimants were longtime Wells Fargo Bank clients and they were referred to a financial advisor at the broker-dealer. They would go on to work with other Wells Fargo Securities brokers as time passed.

Because the broker-dealer’s registered representatives unsuitably recommended and sold investments in Northstar (Bermuda) to the couple, the claimants are now pursuing up to $500K in damages.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (SSEK Law Firm at investorlawyers.com) is representing these Mexican investors in their FINRA arbitration claim. This is one of many Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) cases we’ve filed against the broker-dealers that unsuitably sold annuities from this off-shore company.

Claimants Sought Safe Haven, Instead Lose Six-Figures

Like many foreign nationals who’ve looked to the US to preserve their assets in a more stable economy, this couple entrusted Wells Fargo to keep their money safe. The claimants, who are both inexperienced investors, were reluctant to take on much risk. They wanted safety and modest returns.

Instead, the brokerage firm placed their funds in Northstar products and misrepresented that this was a safe and suitable investment. In fact, this is an off-shore entity that lacked the stability and protections these customers sought and could have found in similar, US-based products.

It seems likely that the high commissions and fees that the firm and its financial advisors earned for selling these Northstar annuities were a greater motivation than taking care of their customers’ best interests.

Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) in Liquidation Proceedings

Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) is owned by Global Bankers, which was owned by billionaire Greg Lindberg. He is now in prison for wire fraud and bribery. Lindberg took money from the annuity and insurance companies he owns and funneled the funds to other entities he operates.

With Lindberg now in jail and the company in liquidation proceedings, it is unlikely that investors will get their money back unless they pursue damages through FINRA arbitration. This is where SSEK Law Firm comes in.

Unsuitability, Negligence, and Failure to Supervise

In their FINRA arbitration case, these investors are alleging unsuitability, misrepresentations and omissions, negligence, and gross lack of supervision.

For years, Wells Fargo had a chance to rectify their mistake of investing the claimants in Northstar (Bermuda). Instead, the firm continued to renew these investors’ annuity contracts. Clearly, no meaningful supervision occurred.
