Andrew Dutton Customer Files Complaint For GWG L Bond Investments

KlaymanToskes has filed a FINRA arbitration claim (Case No. 25-00079) against American Trust Investment Services on behalf of a former customer of financial advisor Andrew Dutton. The complaint alleges unsuitable investment recommendations related to GWG L Bonds and alleges $100,000 in investor damages. According to the claim, Andrew Dutton, along with his father and barred financial advisor Austin Dutton, allegedly misrepresented GWG L Bonds as safe, low-risk investments through American Trust Investment Services, while failing to disclose their speculative and illiquid nature. The advisors also reportedly overconcentrated the client’s portfolio in these high-risk securities, resulting in damages of approximately $100,000.
