GPB Capital Investor? The Securities Arbitration Law Firm of KlaymanToskes Continues to Investigate, Pursue Claims Against Full-Service Brokerage Firms on Behalf of GPB Capital Investors

August 18, 2021

National investor fraud law firm, KlaymanToskes, has filed multiple Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) arbitration claims for clients who were solicited by broker-dealers to purchase private placement securities of GPB Capital Holdings (“GPB”) in the form of notes, and continues to investigate the sales practices of additional broker-dealers (“GPB Capital Investment Loss Investigation”). Under FINRA Rules, brokerage firms have an obligation to make suitable recommendations to their customers. They must also conduct adequate due diligence of facts concerning the risks associated with the investments.

GPB Capital Investigation

More than 60 brokerage firms sold $1.5 billion of high-risk private placement GPB funds, including Royal Alliance Associates Inc., Sagepoint Financial Inc., FSC Securities Corp., and Woodbury Financial Services Inc. According to the Securities & Exchange Commission, GPB principals and their affiliates were charged “with running a Ponzi-like scheme that raised over $1.7 billion from securities issued by a New York-based asset management firm and registered investment adviser, GPB Capital.”

GPB Capital sold and marketed non-registered private placement notes through inadequate disclosure of illiquidity, high risks, and commissions which made the investments unsuitable for most investors. Securities under investigation include:

  • GPB Holdings, LP
  • GPB Cold Storage, LP
  • GPB Automotive Portfolio, LP
  • GPB Waste Management, LP
