Silver Law Group is representing investors who suffered losses after investing in Worth Group’s and/or Treasure Coast Bullion Group’s leveraged silver program, sometimes referred to as the “Midas Program”. Worth Group and Treasure Coast operated nationwide through a network of salesmen who called investors to convince them to invest in precious metals. Silver Law Group is currently representing victims who lost their entire investment of precious metals and Silver Law Group’s attorneys are continuing to investigate additional potential claims against Worth Group and Treasure Coast.  Investors’ Funds Were Wiped Out In March 2020 Many investors with Worth Group and/or Treasure Coast were convinced not only to purchase precious metals—usually silver—but also to invest in additional metals on “margin” or on a “leveraged basis”. Investors are alleging that they were promised more upside by purchasing silver on margin with minimal risk. Unfortunately, in March 2020, after a fluctuation in silver, many investors who purchased precious metals on this leveraged basis were wiped out, losing their entire investment. Silver Law Group is investigating the nature of this wipeout event, as well as whether Worth Group and Treasure Coast investors were charged unfairly high commissions and fees, above and beyond the spot price for the silver they were purchasing, which magnified their losses.Silver Law Group is representing investors who suffered losses after investing in Worth Group’s and/or Treasure Coast Bullion Group’s leveraged silver program, sometimes referred to as the “Midas Program”.

Social media has become an integral part of modern culture. It’s the place where we can keep in touch with friends, relatives, and people you met long ago. You can meet people with shared interests, learn new things, swap stories, and ask for advice. Facebook, LinkedIn, and other similar sites have group functions for like-minded people to gather to share and discuss. Silver Law Group’s managing partner, Scott Silver, is a frequent news commentator speaking about current events relating to investing. Scott appeared in multiple news outlets including CNBC discussing the trading around Gamestop and the perceived relationship between wall street v main street. Just like “reality TV” and those gossip magazines at the grocery checkout, not everything on social media is what it seems. Psychology offers many answers as to why so many people believe everything they see and read without asking questions. For instance, “influencers” are those who post frequently about their life and lifestyle, and frequently receive paid sponsorships and other compensation in return. However, not all of these “influencers” are telling the truth about their lives, and taking pictures for social media that aren’t completely accurate. Researching financial related information can be just as inaccurate no matter where it’s found. That’s why it’s important to have a strong understanding about any securities purchases you’re considering, as well as reliable sources before making any decision. This includes anything from your stockbroker and/or financial advisor. If you’re just a casual investor who doesn’t have the experience of a more sophisticated investor, you’re taking a gamble with the risk of losing not only your investment capital, but more.   The Securities And Exchange Commission recently published an investor alert discussing stock information on social media. Keep this in mind when researching stocks, securities, or other financial information.Social media has become an integral part of modern culture.
