Are Private Placement investments suitable for you?

Private Placement investments such as Galleon Ventures LLC should only be sold to high net worth, knowledgeable investors.

Your broker has a duty to conduct a reasonable investigation of the investment and the issuer’s representations about it.

If your broker recommended Galleon Ventures LLC and fails to satisfy its duties to investigate the issuer and the offering, this could constitute a violation of the antifraud provisions as well as other federal securities laws.

In addition, your broker must determine whether an investment in the private placement is suitable for you.  Your broker must consider your age, financial situation, current and future needs, investment objectives and tax status.

Did you lose money investing in Galleon Ventures LLC at the recommendation of your financial advisor? If so, you may be able to recover your losses. Investors can file an arbitration claim or request mediation through The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)  when they have a dispute involving the business activities of a brokerage firm or one if its brokers.
