FINRA: Barouti the Focus of Millions in GWG Complaints

According to records released by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Tony Barouti has been the subject of many other investor complaints involving GWG.  In addition to the $5 million in complaints filed by MDF Law, Barouti is also the subject of millions in other complaints filed by different attorneys.

Were You Told the Risks by Barouti Financial?

It may not have been appropriate for GWG Bonds to have been recommended to you in light of your specific financial needs.  If you can answer YES to any of the following questions, then you may be able to pursue an arbitration claim for damages:

• You believed your interest was “guaranteed”
• If you did not understand that you could lose your entire investment
• You have a moderate or conservative risk tolerance

Tony Barouti is registered with Emerson Equity in California and operates his securities business through Barouti Financial Services. If you or someone you know purchased GWG L Bonds based on the recommendation of Los Angeles based broker, Tony Barouti (CRD 3031995) of Barouti Financial, you may be able to seek compensation for your damages.     Investors have already filed arbitration cases against Emerson Equity related to the sale of GWG L bonds[2] and we believe they were marketed by him.
