GWG Reportedly Prepping for Bankruptcy
According to The Wall Street Journal, Dallas-based alternative asset manager GWG Holdings is currently preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The news comes after the company missed payments to investors and was unable to submit its 2021 financial report timely. Troubles seem to be mounting for the once-lucrative company in light of the recent resignation of its auditor and the inability to “address more than $2 billion of liabilities.”
In the Notification of Late Filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 1, 2022, Chief Financial Officer Timothy Evans indicated that GWG Holdings would be unable to file its annual report because of the resignation of Grant Thornton LLP.
Grant Thornton had been the company’s independent registered public accounting firm but had notified GWG Holdings that they would not stand for reappointment. GWG has since been unable to engage another auditor to audit its financial statements for 2021. The CFO is unable to provide a reasonable timetable for when the annual report will be submitted.
GWG Holdings - Unsuitable Investments
GWG Holdings investors have sustained significant losses as a result of the company’s financial issues. Not only did GWG Holdings default on principal payments owed to investors, shares dropped substantially after the Wall Street Journal reported that the company was prepping for bankruptcy.
It is believed that investors were sold GWG Holdings L Bonds as safe, low-risk investments when in fact, the products carried a high degree of risk, were illiquid, and were highly speculative. Many of those recommended and sold GWG Holdings L Bonds were retirees or elderly clients, resulting in the loss of substantial portions of their portfolio.
Investigating Brokerage Firms that Recommended and Sold GWG Holdings
Levin Law is currently investigating brokerage firms, including Emerson Equity, that recommended and sold GWG Holdings L Bonds. These investments were likely unsuitable recommendations for the average investor.
Claims against brokerage firms that sold GWG Holdings may be based on a failure to adequately disclose the risks associated with the investment, material misrepresentations and omissions, unsuitability, and the broker-dealer’s failure to supervise.
