What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? arizona
my financial advisor illegally (forged my signature) withdrew
$200,000 from an annuity I have. He used the money to
invest into an LLC he and two others formed for the purpose
of investing into a China, Nigeria oil deal. I was not
included into this investment. When I discovered the missing
funds, I contacted the annuity company to ask what
happened to them, finding out it was my advisor.
The $200,000, according to the advisor, will generate between
$800,000 to a million a year for the LLC. He seems to think
that if they pay me the $200,000 back plus the income
tax I'll have to pay on the withdrawal, all of it is taxable, the
penalty I had to forfeit to the annuity com, the loss of the
bonus I would be receiving down the road and $50,000 that all
should be ok. Without the $50,000, they would owe me
the $200,000 plus $132,000. As a group they invested $250,000
beyond my money. According to the advisor's figures they will be
realizing an annual income of 2 million to 2.2 million. It is my opinion
that their offer is not adequate, that I deserve a portion of the
annual income as well, please advise. I should add that I don't
think this investment will ever emit a return
