 August 23, 2018 – Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane (PWCK) Seeks Recovery for Swindled Investors From Insurance Agents, Investment Advisors and Brokers in Los Angeles Area, Houston, Chicago Area, Northern Florida, and Philadelphia/New Jersey.

 

 

LOS ANGELES, CA. – August 23, 2018 – A 72-year-old with no retirement plan. An 89-year-old Korean war veteran. A landscape company owner with no investing experience. These were among the thousands of victims of an elaborate investment scheme that succeeded in large part through the credibility lent to the scheme by a network of “middlemen” insurance agents, brokers, financial planners/investment advisors (IAs) and others who roped in unwary investors for Future Income Payments LLC (FIP). Today, the law firm Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane (PWCK) initiated a coordinated wave of five lawsuits in the Los Angeles area, Houston, Chicago area, northern Florida, and Philadelphia/New Jersey targeting the seemingly legitimate financial professionals who made the FIP scheme work.

Frisch (investment advisor in Los Angeles, CA area)/Secure Investment Management, LLC (IA firm in Phoenix/Tucson, AZ area); Daniel T.
