The investor’s losses are estimated between $100,000 and $200,000.
According to the claim, Baker Tilly Capital failed to adequately supervise its representatives and did not perform proper due diligence before recommending this complex investment. The firm allegedly violated its fiduciary obligations by failing to ensure the investment was suitable for the client.
