Reg D Offering Loss Attorneys

Did You Suffer Investor Losses in HJ Sims Private Placements? Our Reg D Offering Loss Attorneys Are Here To Help

If you are an investor who sustained serious losses in a Herbert J. Sims private placement, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Reg D Offering Loss Attorneys (investorlawers.com) can help you determine whether you have grounds for an investment loss recovery claim against this broker-dealer. These are Regulation D offerings, which can be high-risk, complex, and illiquid. There are concerns that this broker-dealer allegedly unsuitably—perhaps even fraudulently—sold $2B of these investments to customers.

In December 2024, the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation announced that it was looking at penalizing HJ Sims $480,000 for alleged failures involving due diligence, compliance, and recordkeeping related to its sale of these private placement offerings to residents in the state. In a proposed cease and desist order, the brokerage firm would also be barred from selling more securities there.

From about 2016 until now, Herbert J. Sims filed 18 Reg D private placement offerings to sell in New Hampshire. A number of investments have since started to default. The state securities regulator contends that the broker-dealer neglected to disclose the defaults, and, generally, these offerings’ past performances.

But it isn’t just in New Hampshire where HJ Sims sold private placements . It also marketed and sold these investments and many other Reg D offerings in other US states.

In 2022, SLCG Economic Consulting published an article alleging that the Herbert J. Sims regulation D program may have been established so that its executives could use client money to make large bets. Meantime, they purportedly kept the gains while leaving retail investors with the majority of the losses. Generally, Reg D offerings are unsuitable for inexperienced investors or those who aren’t wealthy or qualify as accredited investors.

There is growing concern that HJ Sims may have inflated its private placement offerings, a number of which may now be worthless. Conflicts of interest may also have been a factor. SLCG claims that most of the Reg D issuers were owned or operated by HJ Sims executives. If this is true, then the executives may have profited both during the offering of these investments and when they were sold.
