Investors with money in some of financier Greg Lindberg’s many companies, including Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), have suffered significant harm as billions of investor dollars are frozen and liquidation and litigation drag on. Ultimatelly, investors are not expected to recover a significant amount of money. Lindberg was criminally charged by the US Department of Justice and the State of North Carolina. His first trial ended with a conviction and sentence of seven years in prison, but the verdict was reversed after he spent 633 days in prison. He wrote a book on his prison stint, that included the words “633 Days” in the title, and discussed his “wrongful conviction.” One of the eight reviews on Amazon is from a reviewer who was defrauded by Lindberg and demands his money back.Investors with money in some of financier Greg Lindberg’s many companies, including Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), have suffered significant harm as billions of investor dollars are frozen and liquidation and litigation drag on.

Structured notes are a lesser-known investment vehicle for individual retail investors. These are hybrid-style investments that combine several different types of investments based on something else, such as the S&P 500, interest rates, commodities, foreign currency exchanges, or one or more securities. An investor’s return is linked to this outside element, making them “derivative” investments instead of direct ones. Issued by financial institutions and sold to investors by broker-dealers, structured notes have two elements, the embedded derivative, and a bond element. The note’s returns will depend on the repayment of the underlying bond by the issuer, and a premium paid based on the linked asset. The return on a structured note depends on the issuer repaying the underlying bond and paying a premium based on the linked asset.Structured notes are a lesser-known investment vehicle for individual retail investors.

In another piece of the puzzle that is GWG Holdings, the SEC is also investigating its subsidiary, the Dallas, Texas-based investment company Beneficient. Begun by founder Brad Heppner, the intent was to bring “mom-and-pop” investors the same types of opportunities normally afforded to larger investors. Much like GWG, Beneficient also led to failures that cost investors billions, and included a possible Ponzi scheme that primarily benefited Heppner according to the Wall Street Journal.In another piece of the puzzle that is GWG Holdings, the SEC is also investigating its subsidiary, the Dallas, Texas-based investment company Beneficient.
