80-year-old Investor Files FINRA Claim Against American Equity and Wayne Rentschler

KlaymanToskes Files FINRA Arbitration Claims for Investor Seeking Recovery

LOUISVILLE, KY, US, August 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — National investment fraud lawyers KlaymanToskes announces that they filed FINRA arbitration claim 22-01782 on behalf of an 80 year old investor against American Equity Investment Corp. and Wayne Rentschler to recover damages sustained in GWG Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS: GWGHQ) L Bonds investments.

According to the claim, American Equity Investment Corp.’s broker Wayne Rentschler, recommended that an 80 year old invest in GWG L Bonds, which was an unsuitable, highly speculative, illiquid private placement. Incredibly, less than 2 years after the brokerage firm represented the GWG L Bonds as a safe, low-risk investment, GWG Holdings halted its interest and principal payments. Shortly thereafter, in April 2022, GWG Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. GWG Holdings along with its network of broker-dealers are subject to a SEC investigation into the sales of L Bonds.

According to securities attorney Lawrence L. Klayman, Esq., “Private placements provide limited information for investors to evaluate. Brokerage firms had a responsibility to investigate and monitor red flags associated with GWG Holdings and its L Bonds to protect their customers. The firm’s failure to conduct required due diligence caused our elderly client substantial harm, and the firm should be held liable in a FINRA arbitration claim.”

The sole purpose of this release is to investigate on behalf of our clients who purchased GWG L Bonds through full-service brokerage firms, including American Equity Investment Corp. Former and current customers of full-service brokerage firms such as American Equity Investment Corp. with losses in excess of $75,000, and those who have information relating to the manner in which their accounts were handled, are encouraged to contact Lawrence L. Klayman, Esq. at 1 (888) 997-9956.
