Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Annuity Loss Attorney Team are representing CB Life Annuity Investors in Massachusetts Against Citizens Securities

Broker-Dealer Allegedly Solicited Investors in The Bay State To Invest Beyond Insurance Cap

If you are a Massachusetts investor who suffered losses after you were marketed and sold Colorado Bankers Life Insurance annuities by a Citizens Securities broker, please contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) today. It has come to our attention that registered representatives from that broker-dealer may not only have allegedly unsuitably recommended CB Life annuities to many investors in this state, including plenty of seniors and retirees, but also, it appears that these brokers purportedly encouraged them to invest money beyond the $250,000 insurance cap allowed. This has left many investors with serious investment losses and limited options for financial recovery now that Colorado Bankers Life Insurance has gone into rehabilitation and its owner Greg Lindberg is accused of more criminal fraud charges.
