) by your US-based financial advisor, you may be wondering what you should do 
to recover your investment losses. Unfortunately, many foreign nationals,

from this offshore entity that is now defunct.

These investments were too risky and illiquid for many of these customers, who 
wanted the protections and stability provided by financial products found in 
the United States. Yet dozens of brokerage firms appear to have marketed and 
sold Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) to their clients, including retail 
customers and retirees who had conservative investing goals and low risk 
tolerance levels.

products. Now, these Japanese retirees are seeking up to $500K in damages.
