National investor law firm KlaymanToskes continues to investigate and pursue FINRA arbitration claims on behalf of investors who were solicited to purchase millions of dollars of private placement securities in GPB Capital Holdings (“GPB”) in the form of notes. Under FINRA Rules, brokerage firms have an obligation to make suitable recommendations to their customers, as well as not provide misrepresentations or omission of material facts concerning investment recommendations. They must also conduct adequate due diligence of facts concerning the risks associated with the investments.
What is GPB Capital?
More than 60 brokerage firms sold $1.5 billion of high-risk private placement GPB Capital funds, including:
The private placement GPB funds of GPB Automotive Portfolio and GPB Holdings II raised $622.1 million and $645.8 million respectively. Since flagrantly missing its April 30, 2018 deadline to register the raised funds, GPB’s offices in Manhattan have been searched by the FBI. The SEC also issued a subpoena to GPB seeking information. Additionally, GPB’s auditor recently resigned over the perceived risks of the ongoing investigations.
