Imran Razvi is the managing partner and President of Higher Ground Financial Group. Higher Ground Financial Group is located in Frederick, MD and purports to be a full-service financial firm committed to helping people pursue their financial goals, offering a wide range of financial products and services to individuals and business owners. Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. has learned that Imran Razvi sold the fraudulent Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund and has filed arbitration claims against Imran Razvi’s employer, Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation, on behalf of investors seeking to recover money lost on the fraudulent Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund.

On December 20, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an action alleging that the Woodbridge investment was a massive Ponzi scheme, and that new investor money was used to pay the returns owed to existing investors. The SEC also alleges that Woodbridge’s business model was a sham, and that Woodbridge and Woodbridge’s owner and President, Robert H. Shapiro, misused and misappropriated investor monies. The SEC points out that Woodbridge admits in its bankruptcy filing that it has less than $12 million in its bank accounts while having investor liabilities approaching $1 billion. 

If you invested in Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund through Imran Razvi, you may be able to recover your losses from Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation, The O.N. Equity Sales Company and/or Park Avenue Securities, LLC. This is because Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation, The O.N. Equity Sales Company and Park Avenue Securities, LLC had a duty to supervise Imran Razvi
