National investment loss lawyers KlaymanToskes is investigating broker Suzanne Wheeler (CRD# 1107381) of Coastal Equities and Arkadios Capital following the filing of a customer complaint with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), alleging $500,000 in investor damages due to unsuitable recommendations to invest in alternative investments.
According to the claim filed by KlaymanToskes, Wheeler overconcentrated 100% of the investor’s retirement savings in GWG’s L Bonds – a highly speculative, illiquid private placement investment. In April 2022, GWG Holdings, Inc. filed for bankruptcy, suspending their monthly dividends and leaving investors without access to their principal. In August 2023, the GWG L Bonds were canceled, and investors were issued “Interests” in the Wind Down Trust.
The L bonds were marketed by many brokerage firms, including Coastal Equities and Arkadios Capital, as safe and low-risk investments that were instead illiquid, high-risk, and speculative. Financial professionals and their firms can be held accountable for investment losses incurred by customers if the investment was unsuitable for the customer’s risk tolerance and objectives, or if they misrepresented the nature of the investment.
According to FINRA BrokerCheck, broker Suzanne Wheeler was previously registered with Coastal Equities from 2018 to 2019 in Rockville, MD. Wheeler is currently registered with Arkadios Capital in Olney, MD.
