A class action complaint has been filed on behalf of GWG investors alleging that certain of the Company's top officers and directors, along with entities under their control (collectively, "Defendants"), used GWG to carry out a Ponzi scheme, at the expense of GWG's investors.  Per the allegations in the complaint, the Defendants diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in GWG investor funds for their own gains, rendering GWG unable to make required payments to its and investors and substantially destroying the value of GWG securities.  As a result of Defendants' actions, on January 18, 2022, GWG disclosed that it was unable to make certain required payments to Company investors.  Three months later, on April 20, 2022, GWG filed for bankruptcy.
