On April 20, 2022, GWG Holdings, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. In February 2022, the company, which sold $1.6B in life-settlement backed bonds defaulted.
GWG has more than $2 billion in overall liabilities as of September 2021, along with $1.55 billion in L Bonds.
Aidikoff, Uhl & Bakhtiari represents investors who purchased L Bonds of GWG Holdings Inc. (GWGH), through representatives of Emerson Equity LLC and other financial service firms.
Representatives of Emerson Equity allegedly recommended the L Bonds as safe with a 5% interest rate which was suitable and appropriate for retired and other conservative income investors. L Bonds were actually speculative income paying investments due to the distressed financial condition of the issuer of the bonds.
Emerson Equity was the lead broker-dealer and underwriter of L Bonds. Emerson Equity has offices in Irvine, Glendale, Woodland Hills, Los Angeles and San Diego, California.
