Illinois Couple Sue Ausdal Financial Partners Over GWG L Bond And Non-Traded REIT Losses

High Commissions Paid To Brokers May Have Compelled Them to Disregard Investors’ Best Interests 

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) are representing two investors in their broker fraud lawsuit against Ausdal Financial Partners. The claimants suffered losses in GWG L Bonds, the non-traded real estate investment trust (non-traded REIT) Moody National REIT, and business development company (BDC) Greenbacker Renewable Energy. These were alternative investments that were unsuitable for conservative investors seeking to get ready for retirement.

Our clients met Ausdal Financial broker Wilfredo Raul Miranda III through a free retirement planning seminar focused on helping retirees and pre-retirees preserve their capital and maintain their wealth.

From the beginning, these Illinois investors made it clear that they were not seeking to take on undue risk. Yet their financial advisor allegedly went on to unsuitably recommend risky investments.

Miranda also allegedly did not offer full disclosure about the risks involving GWG junk bonds. GWG Holdings is now accused of running a more than $1.6B Ponzi scam.

In their FINRA lawsuit against Ausdal Financial Partners, these claimants allege unsuitability, misrepresentations and omissions, negligence, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, vicarious liability, and more.
