What is GPB Capital?
GPB Capital has been caught up in a series of investigations and lawsuits, which only continue to mount. The investigations have been from the SEC, FINRA, FBI and state agencies. Three weeks ago the chief compliance officer was arrested for obstruction of justice. He allegedly accessed information while working at the SEC and then gave the information to GPB Capital. If that wasn’t enough, just last week a lawsuit in Texas alleges GPB Capital is the “Ponzi scheme.” This wasn’t the first time. Investors have waited anxiously for audited records. It was also mentioned in a lawsuit last year by a former business partner of GPB Capital.
However, the lawyers at Haselkorn & Thibaut believe that GPB Capital, a private placement product, should have never been sold to individual investors. Private placement products are supposed to be sold only to “accredited investors,” meaning someone with a net worth over $1 million. The reason why they are limited is that private placements are generally very risky investment products and have very little liquidity.
