HJ Sims Investment Loss Recovery Lawyer
A Significant Amount of HJ Sims Reg D Bonds May Now Be Worthless. Investing Regulation D Private Placements Often Lead To Serious Losses.
According to SLCG Economic Consulting, a large number of Regulation D offerings issued by Herbert J. Sims (HJ Sims) have defaulted and may be “virtually worthless.” The broker-dealer sold 93 private placement bonds over 10 years. It was the only brokerage firm that sold 84 of them. These alternative investments were worth $2.2B.
Not only that, but SLCG alleges that HJ Sims executives may have created and controlled nearly all of the Reg D issuers. The financial economics consulting firm contends that these executives only risked bearing a “small portion” on any losses while standing to make substantial profits on any gains, in addition to commissions and fees from the sales. Also, there have been accusations that the broker-dealer inflated bond prices on account statements.
