What does Investment Fraud in Colorado Look like?
Investment fraud, often referred to as securities fraud, is characterized by the use of deceitful tactics, such as the dissemination of false or misleading information, to influence investors’ decisions, leading to significant financial losses. This is the same in Colorado as in other states we work in.
Unscrupulous brokers might go as far as directly stealing funds or securities from investors.
Here’s a real life and recent example in Colorado:

These companies were involved in the offer and sale of annuities and annuity like investments in Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), PB Investment Holdings, and others. Many brokerage firms participated in these scams without doing adequate due diligence, a responsibility many investors depend on their stockbrokers to do for them.
When you first hired your broker-dealer, it’s likely that you trusted them to put your best interests first! Unfortunately, many brokers and financial advisors don’t live up to their fiduciary duty or have committed outright securities fraud.
They might mislead you about investments, conceal risks, engage in excessive trading (churning) to generate commissions, or overcharge you with hidden fees.

First, in order to recover your investment losses, you must prove that your broker-dealer or financial advisor violated the federal or state securities statutes, committed fraud, breached their fiduciary duty to you as an investor or the brokerage firm was negligent in hiring and supervising the stockbroker, you have been dealing with for years.
In most cases, this means filing a FINRA arbitration claim against the broker-dealer and/or representative which we would do on your behalf
The majority of securities fraud cases are handled by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) rather than being brought to the court system.
FINRA arbitration offers a simplified and economical solution for resolving conflicts between investors and their brokers, bypassing the need for court proceedings. It also provides the opportunity to obtain punitive damages, an option not available in civil courts.
As an investor, you have certain rights that must be respected and protected.
