Americas Watchdog Expands Its Advocacy for Individuals or Businesses Cheated in the Auction Rate Securities Debacle and Lashes Out on $700 Billion Dollar Bank Welfare For nearly eight months, Americas Watchdog has been battling for all consumers and businesses victimized by Wall Street stock brokerage firms, investment bankers and U.S. banks involved in the sales of extremely high risk securities, called auction rate securities. According to Americas Watchdog, "While there have been a small number of settlements announced involving the retail clients, many sellers of auction rate securities have not been forced into a settlement. Even worse, many larger investors or businesses that were sold a bill of goods by a stock broker or U.S. bank investment advisor, will never see a settlement because of the size of their investment. And now bankruptcy's involving Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual could change everything." Americas Watchdog says, "We want to hear from the auction rate securities victims who stand to lose millions, because they are being categorized as sophisticated investors. We consider fraud to be still be fraud, regardless if the investment was $25,000 or $250 million."
