GPB Capital Ponzi Scheme | Recover Your Losses on GPB Capital
GPB Capital investors have received bad news about their investments. GPB and three of their executives are facing criminal fraud charges that alleged that they deceived thousands of investors in what is being called a $1.7 billion Ponzi-like scheme.
GPB raised 1.3 billion dollars by issuing private placement notes. These notes are private placement, or non-traditional, investments that are not registered with the SEC. These inherently risky investments are only suitable for sophisticated investors who understand the risks and can afford to lose their entire investment. Unfortunately, many brokerage firms and financial advisors sold these GPB investments to retirees and unsophisticated investors because they paid such a high commission.
