Frequently Asked Questions about GWG Lawsuit

Many investors are realizing that they are unlikely to get much money from a bankrupt company like GWG anytime soon. In contrast, some investors have already recovered money from the brokerage that sold them L Bonds. Many brokerages have plenty of money.  

What did brokerages do wrong? Brokerage firms have a legal responsibility to conduct due diligence on the investment products they offer. Many brokerage firms ignored obvious warning signs that GWG was a bad investment, but sold GWG L Bonds anyway to their clients, so they could take home up to 8% commission on each L Bond sale. As a result, unknowing investors have lost a significant amount of money with GWG now bankrupt and unable to easily liquidate its assets.

Do you have to sue your broker? We are filing legal claims against the company that employs your broker, not the broker themselves. The brokerage firms select the investment product that advisors may offer to their clients. To pad their bottom line, various brokerages across the nation encouraged the sale of risky and speculative GWG L Bonds – it’s time to hold them accountable. 

GWG L-Bond Investors - Act Now, Not Later

The bankruptcy is unlikely to resolve quickly, and based on other bankruptcy proceedings, it is unlikely that investors will get significant financial recoveries through the bankruptcy process.

Some investors are considering waiting to file any sort of legal claim until the bankruptcy is further along. But these investors may be at the back of the line when it’s too late — after law firms have stopped taking clients or brokerages have also gone bankrupt. With so many investors filing claims against their brokerage firms, it is likely that the longer investors wait to file a claim and get in line, it will take much longer for their case to resolve.

Filing a claim NOW will save your spot in line and give you a better chance at a quick and meaningful recovery
