Cambridge Investment Research Under Scrutiny For Alleged ICap Investment Sales. Our Private Placement Loss Attorneys Are Continuing To Investigate Investor Losses

Brokerage firms are supposed to look out for their clients’ best interests. This includes conducting the proper due diligence into any investment that they market and sell to investors and only recommending a security, trade, or financial product if it is suitable for a customer given their investing profile, financial goals, risk tolerance level, and other key factors.

Unfortunately, a slew of brokerage firms allegedly engaged in misconduct or negligence when they promoted iCap securities to clients. Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) is investigating these broker-dealers, including Cambridge Investment Research, over growing concerns of liability for investor losses.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Continue to Investigate Oppenheimer PEP Losses. Contact Our Savvy Margin Abuse Attorneys To Request Your Free Case Consultation

If you are someone whose Oppenheimer financial advisor marketed and recommended the brokerage firm’s Portfolio Enhancement Program (PEP), and you have since suffered related investment losses, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) would like to talk to you. Unfortunately, it seems that a significant number of wealthy investors may not have been fully apprised of the risks involved in this proprietary program.

Oppenheimer PEP is now closed but not before investors reportedly suffered serious losses.

Many who got involved thought they were giving themselves a chance to generate a passive stream of income.

Novice Investor Sues Centaurus Financial Over Silver Star Properties REIT and Other Losses. Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Broker Misconduct Lawyer Files Six Figure FINRA Lawsuit for Claimant

Once again, our trusted alternative investment loss attorneys are suing Centaurus Financial on behalf of an investor. The claimant, who is an inexperienced investor, worked with financial advisor Timothy Neil Tremblay and is now seeking up to $500K in damages involving real estate investment trusts (REITs), including Silver Star Properties REIT, and a business development company.

This is not the first customer dispute involving this Centaurus broker and investment adviser, who works out of Santa Barbara, CA, and also runs Tremblay Financial Services. According to Timothy Tremblay’s CRD, in addition to already settled investment loss recovery claims accusing him of broker misconduct, there are at least two other pending FINRA lawsuits in which his customers are alleging that he made unsuitable investment recommendations. One of the claimants is asking for $800K. In August 2023, the US Securities and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a regulatory case accusing Tremblay of Best Interest violations.

Did Your Broker Unsuitably Recommend Tingo Stock?

SEC Charges Founder And Affiliates With Massive Scam

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) is speaking to investors of Tingo Group (TIO), Tingo International Holdings, and Agri-Fintech Holdings, as well as Nigerian operating subsidiaries Tingo Mobile Limited and Tingo Foods. The company’s CEO Mmobuosi Odogwu Banye (also known as Dozy Mmobuosi) and his US affiliates are being charged by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with an alleged multi-year scam that may have defrauded investors of hundreds of millions of dollars. The US entities are believed to have made billions of dollars in false transactions through the Nigerian subsidiaries. The regulator contends that Mmobuosi allegedly tried to sell Tingo Mobile to public companies by using valuations that were grossly inflated by over $1B.

Despite Reassurances of a Turnaround by Silver Star Properties REIT, Investors Should Be Wary. Our Seasoned Non-Traded REIT Loss Lawyers Continue To Offer Free Case Assessments

Despite receiving a letter from Silver Star Properties claiming that it anticipates a successful exit from Chapter 11 bankruptcy by its subsidiary Hartman SPE—and the non-traded real estate investment trust’s (non-traded REITs) ongoing efforts to sell legacy commercial assets and focus on self-storage assets—investors still have reasons to be concerned about when, or if, they will get their money back. The fact that the non-traded REIT defaulted on $217M of a loan that was due in October is also not optimistic news—not to mention that the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) regional office in Fort Worth, TX has launched an investigation. However, as a non-traded REIT investor, what you still can do is explore your legal options.

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) is representing Silver Star Properties REIT investors in pursuing damages from the broker-dealers that marketed and sold them this non-traded real estate investment trust. Contact us today to schedule your free, no obligation case consultation.
