All Auction Rate Securities Victims Should Call Americas Watchdog About Possible Consequential Damages

For eleven months, Americas Watchdog & its Wall Street Fraud Watchdog have been trying to help all victims of the auction rate securities disaster. On February 14th 2008 the auction rate securities markets collapsed, and were frozen. Since that time some of the largest sellers of auction rate securities have settled with state regulators and the retail customers have been offered their money back. According to the Wall Street Fraud Watchdog, "there is one very big problem. The settlements or proposed settlements may not cover legal bills, business losses, or business interruptions due to illiquid auction rate securities, tax penalties, or other losses, due to the frozen auction rate securities markets." Auction rate securities were sold to consumers and businesses as just like cash, liquid, no risk, etc. The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog says," it was a lie, and banks, stock brokers and banks investment advisors should be forced to pay the real costs back to the auction rate securities victims. We want to hear from every auction rate securities investor who had legal or other costs associated with the auction rate securities debacle.

(PRWEB) January 14, 2009 -- Americas Watchdog & its Wall Street Fraud Watchdog have been fighting for auction rate securities victims for eleven months. While there have been settlements involving some of the biggest sellers of auction rate securities, many sellers have yet to settle, or to make things right for the over 145,000 victims. Even worse, many to most of the announced settlements do not include consequential damages.

What are consequential damages? In the case of auction rate securities, consequential damages could include business losses, hefty legal bills, income tax penalty's, real estate earnest money losses, etc. According to the Wall Street Fraud Watchdog, "we think auction rate securities victims should not only get their money back, but they should also get their expenses, and or costs associated with being cheated on a financial product, that was anything but safe, liquid or just like cash."
