Northstar Bermuda FAQs

Northstar Bermuda Preguntas Frecuentes

These investors had looked to the United States as a haven for their savings. They opened a bank account at SunTrust (which is now Truist) years ago. That was how they met Miami financial advisor Jose Mauricio Lopera-Guevera (Jose Lopera). Considering that Northstar (Bermuda) is now defunct, and its owner Greg Lindberg has been busy battling criminal charges, multiple lawsuits, and regulatory woes, this was a poor recommendation. Yet, Truist allegedly proceeded to place their funds in this risky investment. This caused them to sustain devastating investment losses.

There is no reason why the claimants should have even been exposed to Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), especially in concentration levels that involved the majority of their assets. Year after year, Truist Investment Services had a chance to review these investors’ assets. As Northstar (Bermuda)’s regulatory and financial problems worsened—and Lindberg was indicted—the brokerage could have made significant changes to this family’s portfolio. They could have even removed their money from this offshore entity. Instead, the broker-dealer made purported misrepresentations and omissions about the risks and how the investments were faring. There was also alleged gross negligence and a failure to supervise involved.

Lindberg, who served time in prison and is awaiting his retrial for wire fraud charges, is now charged with defrauding investors of over $2B.
