Chinese Investors File Northstar (Bermuda) Lawsuit For Over $5 Million Against Cetera.
Our Northstar Bermuda Loss Attorneys Represent Foreign Nationals in The US and Abroad Against Broker-Dealers
In our latest Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) loss lawsuit against Cetera Investment Services, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) are representing two Chinese citizens, one living in the US and one abroad, in their more than $5M annuity loss claim that was brought in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration.
The claimants worked with Cetera broker Doris Lau, whom they met through East West Bank in California. Unfortunately, the financial firm and its registered representative allegedly overconcentrated their money in the now-defunct Northstar (Bermuda) which is owned by North Carolina billionaire Greg Lindberg. The investors are also alleging negligence, due diligence failures, unsuitable investment recommendations, misrepresentations and omissions, failure to supervise, and more.
Non-US citizens are allowed to invest in US securities. Yet instead, Cetera involved these inexperienced investors and a huge portion of their assets in a little-known offshore entity that had been showing signs of possible trouble for some time. Not only that but other offshore options were not as high-risk and better rated than Northstar (Bermuda). The claimants have since suffered serious and devastating investment losses that could and should have been avoided.
Representing Over 100 Annuity Investors Who Lost Money In a Lindberg Insurer
Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas are working with more than 100 annuity investors who have suffered serious investment losses not just in Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), but also in the other insurance companies owned by Greg Lindberg. He was in prison for a time and is now awaiting a retrial on wire fraud and other charges. Lindberg is also now charged with defrauding annuity investors of around $2B.

Why Sue Your Broker When Northstar Bermuda Is In Liquidation?

By September 2020, the insurance company was believed to have just $8M in assets while possessing a more than $260M deficit. Meanwhile, Lindberg owes hundreds of millions of dollars to various entities. He also is believed to have channeled funds from his insurance companies to his special-purpose vehicles. Who knows how much, if anything, you can get back from Northstar (Bermuda).
