Six-Figure GWG Lawsuit Accuses Moloney Securities Of Making Unsuitable Investment Recommendations. Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas WG Bond Fraud Attorneys Is Representing This Retiree Couple

Once again, our trusted GWG L Bond recovery attorneys have filed a FINRA lawsuit on behalf of investors against Moloney Securities. This time, our clients are a California couple who allege they were the victims of unsuitable investment recommendations by one of the broker-dealer’s registered representatives. These retirees are requesting up to six-figures in damages.

This is an L Bond lawsuit involving a financial advisor who appears to have been more concerned with the commissions that could be earned rather than honoring their fiduciary duty to these customers. We also believe that Moloney Securities was beyond complacent in the way it supervised this broker and the products it chose to sell to its customers.
