KlaymanToskes Files $1 Million Case Against Daniel K. Beech

KlaymanToskes is currently representing investors who suffered severe losses with Daniel K. Beech of Western International Securities’ Westlake Village, CA branch. In October 2022, the firm filed FINRA arbitration case no. 22-02367 on the behalf of a family who lost $1,000,000 investing in high-risk, illiquid investments recommended by Beech

The investors were first introduced to Daniel Beech and Western by Angelo Talebi of Beverly Hills Financial Planners – their former financial advisor. Talebi’s securities license has 36 customer complaints, 1 regulatory event and 1 termination. As Talebi was no longer registered with FINRA, he introduced the family to Beech who had the ability to execute transactions. As alleged in the claim, on information and belief, Talebi was to receive a commission/kickback on any purchases that the family made with Western and Beech.

While the investors entrusted Beech to recommend safe, low risk investments that would provide income, Beech solicited them to invest in unsuitable, alternative investments which were high risk, speculative, and lacked liquidity. 

Beech concentrated the investors’ portfolio in the following alternative investments:

  • GWG L Bonds (OTCMKTS: GWGHQ)
  • InvenTrust Properties Corp.
  • Procaccianti Hotel REIT

Investments in High-Risk GWG L Bonds 

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 their firms who sold this speculative security. Contact attorney Lawrence L. Klayman, Esq. at (888) 997-9956 or lklayman@klaymantoskes.com for a free and confidential consultation to discuss your potential case. 

The following is a timeline summary for GWG L bonds: 

  • From April 2021 to November 5th, 2021, GWG temporarily ceased its sale of L Bonds (“the GWG 2021 Suspension”) due to its inability to file its required 2020 Form 10-K.
  • On November 5th, 2021 in its annual Form 10-K filing, GWG “publicly disclosed that its auditor had issued a going concern qualification to their audited financial statements for 2020 due to serious concerns about the viability of the company.” 
  • On January 10th, 2022 GWG suspended further sales of L Bonds due to its “inability to make interest payments on the L Bonds” (“the GWG 2022 Suspension”). 
  • GWG filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 20th, 2022 and its common stock (OTCMKTS: GWGHQ) was delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market on May 17, 2022.
