On October 25, 2007 Ted Eppenstein testified before the U.S. Congress House Judiciary Committee, Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law at hearings on H.R. 3010, the “Arbitration Fairness Act of 2007.” Ted’s Written Statement to Congress backing investor rights can be viewed on the Subcommittee’s Web site. A copy of Ted’s Written Statement (without exhibits) can be viewed here.
Ted Eppenstein is the first investor attorney to urge Congress to include investors in the reach of the Act, return to public investors the right to go to court if they choose, and establish a totally independent arbitration forum outside the industry for adjudication of public investors’ securities fraud, hedge fund fraud and other brokerage industry disputes. Previously, Ted was asked to testify before two congressional Subcommittees. The U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance in 1988 requested that Mr. Eppenstein present his opinion on compulsory arbitration and arbitration reform. A reproduction of Ted’s written statement to the Subcommittee can be viewed here. Ted assisted the Subcommittee in drafting remedial legislation (H.R. 4960) that would have eliminated mandatory arbitration for customer brokerage disputes. Mr. Eppenstein also testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Criminal Justice to present his views on civil RICO reform.
Hedge Fraud Attorneys
The inherently speculative investment vehicles used by hedge funds, which pool investors’ money and invest those funds in financial instruments in an effort to achieve positive returns, may substantially increase the risk of financial losses to investors. Hedge fund failures may involve questionable hedge fund sales practices and advertising misconduct that fails to disclose potential risks to unwary individual investors, money managers and institutional investors such as pension systems.
The unraveling of Long Term Capital Management and Amaranth LLC, and hedge funds run by Bear Stearns, have been just a few examples in a parade of headline grabbing hedge fund collapses. The losses can be staggering, running into billions of dollars.
The mission of Eppenstein and Eppenstein is to help recover losses suffered by victims of all types of investment fraud and misconduct by brokers and others, including hedge fund fraud and mismanagement. Investors and their money managers have looked to our attorneys to achieve the highest levels of asset recovery, as exemplified in our record recovery of $46 million for just one group of thirteen clients in 2002. Contact our office if you are victim of investment fraud.
