GPB CAPITAL HOLDINGS

The Frankowski Firm is investigating claims related to the GPB Capital Holdings family of investment funds. Last month, GPB Capital reported “significant losses” in its funds with its two largest funds seeing declines of 25.4% and 39%. Investment News reported in March that GPB Capital Holdings is under investigation by the FBI, the SEC, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The firm has reportedly raised over $1.8 billion from wealthy investors through private placement funds, which invest in auto dealerships and the waste management industry. The firm reportedly paid over $100 million in commission incentives to over sixty brokers to sell GPB’s Regulation D offerings to their clients.

In a lawsuit pending in Nassau County, New York, former GPB partner Patrick Dibre filed a counterclaim in which he alleges that GPB was operating a “very complicated and manipulative Ponzi scheme.” SEC investigators have reportedly been reviewing the accuracy of GPB’s disclosures to investors, fund performance, and investor distributions.

The Frankowski Firm is investigating potential investor complaints into the following GPB Funds:

In addition, the Frankowski Firm is reviewing potential claims against brokerage firms which sold GPB for potential violations of their obligations to investors including fraud, omissions of material facts, failure to do due diligence, conflicts of interest, and violations of federal and/or state securities laws, among others. Such firms may include, but are not limited to: Woodbury Financial Services, Inc.; Royal Alliance Associates, Inc.; Sagepoint Financial, Inc.; Newbridge Securities; Ladenburg Thalmann; and Hightower Securities.
