Furgison Law Group is taking cases against various financial advisor and brokerage firms related to the alleged GPB Ponzi Scheme

The securities fraud lawyers at Furgison Law Group are currently investigating claims against various brokerage firms that sold GPB Capital Holdings’ investments. The arbitration attorneys at Furgison Law Group are investigating claims of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, failure to supervise, misrepresentations, omissions of material facts, conflict of interests, violations of state and federal securities laws, along with other broker misconduct. The claims relate to the alleged "Ponzi" scheme operated by GPB, as described in a recent New York state Supreme Court Counterclaim, filed by Patrick Dibre against GPB. According to the Counterclaim, GPB Capital is nothing more than “a very complicated and manipulative Ponzi scheme.”

The following GPB funds are under investigation: 

• GPB Holdings I, II and III;

• GPB Cold Storage;

• GPB Automotive Portfolio;

• GPB Automotive Income;

• GPB Waste Management;

• GPB Holdings Qualified; and

• GPB NYC Development.

At least 63 brokerage firms are under investigation for selling GPB:

• Royal Alliance Associates Inc.;

• Sagepoint Financial Inc.;

• FSC Securities Corp.;

• Woodbury Financial Services Inc.;

• Newbridge Securities;

• Ladenburg Thalmann;

• Hightower Securitie and

• Many others.

FBI, SEC and FINRA are investigating GPB Capital Holdings, LLC 

According to news reports, the FBI is investigating whether GPB Holdings was operating an illegal Ponzi Scheme and made an unannounced visit to GPB Capital offices in March 2019. The SEC and FINRA had also issued inquiries to GPB related to the Ponzi Scheme allegations.

Investors Have the Right to Recover Their Losses

When investments are sold by brokerage firms licensed by FINRA, they are subject to the laws that FINRA enforces. The brokerage firms are responsible for ensuring that their brokers are trading fairly, ethically and in the best interest of their clients. Ideally, they would accomplish this through careful supervision. Unfortunately, too often this supervision has been inadequate to fully protect investors. If you purchased any investments through a representative of a registered brokerage firm or an unlicensed salesperson and suffered losses through negligence or fraud, it immediately puts the brokerage firm at fault for failing to supervise their broker. Securities law then dictates that you can hold the firm legally liable to recover your damages.
