Securities Investigation- GB Sciences Inc.

Are you concerned about your investment in GB Sciences Inc.? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

GB Sciences Inc. is a “diverse cannabis company”, focused on standardized cultivation and production methods; as well as biopharmaceutical research and development, according to its website.

According to SEC filings, the company filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2018. The total offering amount was $5,000,000. According to the Form D, the estimated sales commissions on the investment were 10%.

Investments such as these are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission. High fees can range from 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%.

The problem with private placement investments such as GB Sciences Inc. is that they typically involve a high degree of risk. They are also often sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.

Investigating Potential Claims

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered brokerage firms may have for unsuitably recommending high-risk private placements to investors.

Despite the risks of investing in private placements, brokerage firms continue to push this type of investment because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation.
