Recent Customer Complaints and Disputes
As of January 2026, Sandeep Shrivastava discloses three pending customer disputes totaling over $2,000,000 in alleged damages. Each dispute centers on private placement investments—complex products often exempt from traditional SEC oversight and known for their illiquidity and high risk. Here are the details:
| Date | Allegation | Alleged Damages |
|---|---|---|
| October 2025 | Client alleges misleading statements regarding several investments, resulting in substantial losses. | $1,250,000 |
| September 2025 | Customer claims inadequate risk disclosures and misinformation about private placements offered by TPEG Securities. | $200,000 |
| February 2025 | Dispute cites improper portfolio construction and lack of balance, leading to significant losses. | $620,699 |
Each of these complaints references private placements or related limited partnership interests—products that may be inappropriate for many investors due to their high risk and lack of liquidity.
What are Private Placements, DPPs, & LPs?
Private placements are unregistered securities offerings typically available only to accredited investors. While they can sometimes provide unique investment opportunities, they are often illiquid, complex, and risky. The SEC warns that these investments may be unsuitable for most retail investors, and any recommendation to purchase such products must match your investment goals and risk tolerance.
- Private placements are generally not traded on public exchanges.
- They may carry higher commissions and fees.
- Investors may not know they are unsuitable or illiquid until after a loss occurs.
- Losses in these investments can be difficult to recover without legal help.
Regulatory and Disciplinary History (through June 2024)

- No disclosed bankruptcies, liens, or financial compromises for Mr. Shrivastava.
- No federal or major state court cases involving securities fraud or investor lawsuits against Shrivastava or TPEG Securities through mid-2024 records.
However, the recent surge in pending investor disputes suggests potential concerns regarding suitability, full risk disclosure, and concentration in private placement products.

- Unsuitable Recommendations: Investors allege they were advised to invest in private placements not appropriate for their profile.
- Failure to Disclose Risks/Misrepresentation: Claims that risks were not properly explained, and key facts may have been omitted or misstated.
