Silver Law Group founder and managing partner Scott Silver has been featured in an article on Investment News’ website where he discusses FINRA’s increased scrutiny of brokers and investment advisors who recommended and sold high-risk private placements and other investments from Dallas-based GPB Private Holdings. Scott has been working with some of GPB’s investors to help recoup some of the lost funds. “From my clients’ perspective, it’s frustrating to see FINRA charging brokers after the nail is in the coffin of their portfolios due to speculative, overconcentrated positions in risky alternatives,” Mr. Silver said. “In this day and age, it’s not hard to track brokers doing this kind of behavior that could be prohibited at time of sale. And it gives the investor no solace to see this kind of slap on the wrist years after the fact.” The focus on individual brokers who sold GPB may be too little, too late. One of Silver Law Group’s clients is a 67-year-old person who made an investment of $50,000 into one of GPB’s private placements in June of 2015. Despite the requirement that private placements should only be sold to investors with a specific net worth or annual income, or shown to be an accredited wealth investor, this investor was sold a private placement anyway.Silver Law Group founder and managing partner Scott Silver has been featured in an article on Investment News’ website where he discusses FINRA’s increased scrutiny of brokers and investment advisors who recommended and sold high-risk private placements and other investments from Dallas-based GPB Private Holdings.

Silver Law Group is pleased to announce that it has won a FINRA arbitration award on behalf of two Boston, Massachusetts investors against AGES Financial Services. The investors sought legal representation after suffering substantial losses investing in GWG, a company which claimed to profit from investing in life insurance policies but has declared bankruptcy amidst massive losses. Between 2018 and 2019, AGES recommended the investors make multiple purchases of GWG L Bonds, which ultimately collapsed when GWG entered bankruptcy in 2022. Investors are expected to suffer substantial principal losses with little chance of a meaningful recovery from the GWG bankruptcy. Silver Law Group represents investors throughout the United States in similar claims relating to GWG L Bonds, which were predominantly sold by small or regional broker-dealers. Silver Law Group is pleased to announce that it has won a FINRA arbitration award on behalf of two Boston, Massachusetts investors against AGES Financial Services.
