Investment Firm Sold Millions in Unregistered Securities |

April 5, 2006
Investors in Global Power Global Wealth (GPGW) Enterprises not only didn't realize those returns, Nixon says; in most cases, the investors lost their principal investments as well. The lawsuit cites GPGW and its subsidiaries, Global Wealth Investments, Opportunity Lives and Global Wealth Builders, for numerous violations of the Missouri Securities Act of 2003 and the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act.

The lawsuit asks the court to grant a permanent injunction against the defendants to prevent them from continuing to engage in unlawful, unfair and deceptive acts while selling securities.
