Pending David Goldstein Dispute Seeks 6-Figure Damages

In March 2024, an investor lodged a dispute alleging that Mr. Goldstein misrepresented a GWG L Bond[2] investment. The dispute, which is still pending, seeks $230,000 in damages.

Past Disputes Alleged Negligence, Suitability Violations

The above-described pending dispute is not the only one in Mr. Goldstein’s professional history. Between 2012 and 2023, six parties of investors filed disputes that resolved with settlements. These claims detailed allegations of negligence, misrepresentation, unsuitable investment recommendations, and omissions of material facts regarding bond products. His current or former member firms settled the disputes for more than $250,000 in total.
