Thousands of GWG Holdings Bondholders Are Still Waiting To Get Their Money Back. Contact our GWG L Bond Attorneys

If you are a GWG Holdings investor and are waiting to recoup your losses, contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) so we can help you explore your legal options. Approximately 27,000 investors were sold this high-risk junk bond from an alternative asset firm that has since filed for bankruptcy. Now, many have been left wondering how they can get their money back.

Earlier this year, the GWG L bond investors who bought $1.6M in these supposed life settlement-backed bonds were offered pennies on the dollar in a proposal by Beneficient. That illiquid alternative investment platform offered to pay $50.5M to settle claims over lawsuits submitted in federal court. This would equate to a little over 3 cents for every dollar. It is not enough.

Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) Investors Still Have Time To Sue Their Broker-Dealers. Our Northstar Bermuda Fraud Attorneys Continue To Speak To Foreign Nationals Who Have Suffered Losses

More than four years after Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) filed for bankruptcy protection, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) continue to receive calls from investors from Japan, China, and all over Latin America who have sustained serious losses because their US-based broker-dealer marketed and sold them these offshore annuities. To date, we have filed more than 100 FINRA lawsuits on behalf of both Americans and non-US citizens who have sustained serious losses issued by the different insurers owned by Greg Lindberg. The North Carolina billionaire acquired Northstar (Bermuda) in 2018. Last year, he pleaded guilty to running a $2B annuity fraud.

Throughout the US and internationally, our Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) loss attorneys are the ones that many investors have turned to in terms of determining whether their financial advisors unsuitably recommended this investment, made misrepresentations and omissions about the risks, overconcentrated their accounts, disregarded their best interests, or were negligent or even grossly negligent. Unfortunately, the temptation of high commissions appears to have compelled many financial advisors to disregard red flags indicating anything was amiss.
