SSEK Investigates SagePoint Brokers Involving GPB Sales
Vanlohuizen is not the only SagePoint Financial representative we are scrutinizing. For the past year, we have been looking into claims against broker-dealers that sold GPB private placements to their clients, and SagePoint Financial is one of these firms.
GPB Capital Holdings is now accused of operating a $1.8B Ponzi scam and is under investigation by the FBI, US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Unfortunately, many investors are grappling with what to do with the losses they’ve sustained from investing in one of several GPB funds. Private placement investors bought into the GPB Funds on the recommendations of brokers and firms. The latter earned over $160M in commission from these sales.
Already, our GPB private placement attorneys have filed several investor fraud claims against broker-dealers on our clients’ behalf.
