HJ Sims Investors Who Suffered Losses Should Contact Our Broker Fraud Lawyers Today. Brokerage Firm May Have Defrauded Customers With Sale of Reg D Offerings

Herbert J Sims (HJ Sims) is being investigated by Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas over allegations that its brokers sold unsuitable, perhaps even fraudulent proprietary private placement offerings to customers.

Over the last decade, HJ Sims has sold at least 93 Regulation D private placement offerings collectively valued at about $2.2B. The broker-dealer exclusively sold 84 of these products, many of which its own executives are believed to have set up and controlled—setting up a possible conflict of interest from commissions or fees to be earned on both the offering and selling ends. A lot of these HJ Sims bonds have since defaulted. At least 43 HJ Sims Reg D offerings purportedly did not submit state-mandated yearly registration forms.
