What do you do if you’re a citizen of a foreign country and a broker in the US sold you securities that weren’t the solid investment they claimed? The securities law attorneys at Silver Law Group are preparing to act against those brokers and broker-dealers who were involved. These individuals sold investments in the Bermuda-based Northstar Financial Services Bermuda to foreign investors who wanted a US based investment to protect their assets. Investors in Latin America, Japan, China, and Taiwan who invested in Northstar discovered that the solid vehicle they bought into was anything but. Northstar was not available to US or Bermuda-based investors. Brokers who represented the Northstar investment as safe, secure, and that would guarantee their principal. The company was ordered into bankruptcy in Bermuda in 2020, and is now in bankruptcy litigation. With just $8 million in assets, the company has a deficit and debts totaling $260 million.What do you do if you’re a citizen of a foreign country and a broker in the US sold you securities that weren’t the solid investment they claimed?
