Pending Disputes Concern GWG L Bonds

Between 2023 and 2024, five parties of investors lodged disputes involving Mr. Thompson. These claims include allegations that he breached his fiduciary duty, violated the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest, and committed fraud. They also include allegations of misrepresentation, negligence, and unsuitable recommendations. According to his BrokerCheck profile, several disputes stem from investments in L Bonds issued by GWG Holdings, which since filed for bankruptcy. The disputes, which are still pending, seek cumulative damages of at least $1.1 million.

Firm Settled Past GWG Dispute

The above-described investor disputes are not the only ones in Mr. Thompson’s record. Between 2017 and 2022, two other parties of investors filed disputes involving him. Both alleged that he misrepresented investments, while one also alleged that he breached his fiduciary duty and employed deceptive trade practices. One dispute also stemmed from an investment in GWG Holdings, according to a disclosure on his BrokerCheck record. His member firm settled the disputes for more than $100,000 in total.
