GWG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:GWGH)
Broker-dealers are required to make investment recommendations that are suitable and in the best interest of their customers. When they don't, they should be held accountable.”
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Iorio Altamirano LLP (gwglaywer.com), a leading securities arbitration law firm that represents investors, is continuing to investigate potential lawsuits and arbitration claims involving investments in L Bonds offered by GWG Holdings, Inc. GWG Holdings filed for bankruptcy on April 20, 2022. In a recent court filing, investors have alleged that GWG Holdings was a “classic Ponzi scheme.”— August M. Iorio, Esq.
Iorio Altamirano LLP currently represents dozens of investors who have filed claims against broker-dealers to recover investment losses after GWG Holdings, Inc. filed for bankruptcy on April 20, 2022. The claims (including FINRA Case No. 22-00358, 22-00548, and 22-02890) collectively seek to recover approximately $6.5 million. These claims are separate and in addition to the GWG bankruptcy proceeding. The law firm encourages individuals who have purchased L Bonds issued by GWG Holdings, Inc. to contact the firm for a free and confidential consultation to review their potential claims and legal rights.
GWG sold the L Bonds through Emerson Equity LLC and a network of regional broker-dealers and investment advisory firms, who pitched the products to individual retail investors. The network of regional broker-dealers and investment advisory firms who sold L Bonds and shared in the selling commissions included the following financial institutions, as well as other firms:
• Centaurus Financial, Inc.

Brokerage firms and registered investment advisory firms (“RIAs”) must make investment recommendations that are suitable and in the best interest of their customers. GWG’s L Bonds are speculative, high-risk, and illiquid securities sold as alternative investments by firms across the country. The L Bonds were likely unsuitable for investors with a low or moderate risk tolerance or with liquidity needs.
Broker-dealers, RIAs, and financial advisors must also disclose all material facts and risks of a security when making a recommendation. During Iorio Altamirano LLP’s investigation, investors informed the firm that they were unaware that GWG significantly changed its business model beginning in 2018 or that GWG used investor capital to pay out high distributions to other GWG L Bond investors in a Ponzi-like scheme.
When a firm or advisor fails to meet these standards of conduct, they can be held liable for damages.
Iorio Altamirano LLP has published the findings of its investigation into GWG Holdings and continues to urge individuals who purchased L Bonds issued by GWG Holdings, Inc. to contact the firm for a free and confidential consultation.
