Were you the victim of Uhlmann Price Securities, LLC broker John Hoidas (CRD# 1937971) who recommended GPB Capital Holdings investments? Hoidas has been registered with Uhlmann Price Securities, LLC in Chicago, Illinois since 2013.
GPB Capital Holdings is a New York-based investment firm that offers exempt, private-placement securities that inherently have a high degree of risk due to their nature as unregistered securities offerings (and without regulatory oversight).

These investments were high risk and high commission (nearly 8%) private placements.
