KlaymanToskes is currently representing investors who sustained significant losses in GWG Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS: GWGHQ) L Bonds and is investigating the misappropriation of investor funds. Investors are encouraged to learn more about GWG L Bond Investment Recovery Options.
GWG L bonds were marketed as safe and low-risk investments that were instead unrated, illiquid, high risk, and speculative. GWG disclosed on the second page of its 2020 Prospectus, “L Bonds are only suitable for persons with substantial financial resources and with no need for liquidity in this investment.”
Although GWG filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in April, 2022, investors may still pursue individual FINRA arbitration claims against the financial advisors and firms who sold this speculative security.
