Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) Investors Still Have Time To Sue Their Broker-Dealers. Our Northstar Bermuda Fraud Attorneys Continue To Speak To Foreign Nationals Who Have Suffered Losses

More than four years after Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) filed for bankruptcy protection, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) continue to receive calls from investors from Japan, China, and all over Latin America who have sustained serious losses because their US-based broker-dealer marketed and sold them these offshore annuities. To date, we have filed more than 100 FINRA lawsuits on behalf of both Americans and non-US citizens who have sustained serious losses issued by the different insurers owned by Greg Lindberg. The North Carolina billionaire acquired Northstar (Bermuda) in 2018. Last year, he pleaded guilty to running a $2B annuity fraud.

Throughout the US and internationally, our Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) loss attorneys are the ones that many investors have turned to in terms of determining whether their financial advisors unsuitably recommended this investment, made misrepresentations and omissions about the risks, overconcentrated their accounts, disregarded their best interests, or were negligent or even grossly negligent. Unfortunately, the temptation of high commissions appears to have compelled many financial advisors to disregard red flags indicating anything was amiss.
