(Wilmington, DE): The Delaware Attorney General’s office, Securities Unit, would like to alert Delaware investors about actions taken by the New Jersey Attorney General against Brian D. Winters and the investment firms he controlled, Global Trading Investment, LLC (GTI) and Wyndham Group, L.P. The Securities Unit recently learned that Delawareans may have invested with the above named firms. On March 17, 2004, the New Jersey Bureau of Securities obtained a court order freezing the assets of Winters and his investment firms. This action follows the filing of a complaint alleging that these firms sold more than four million dollars in fraudulent and unregistered securities to New Jersey investors, in violation of that state’s Securities law.



The Attorney General’s office asks that any Delaware resident who invested money in either of these two entities contact an investigator in the Delaware Securities Unit. Please call either Stanley Yackoski (New Castle County) at (302) 577-8935 or Wayne Porter (Kent and Sussex Counties) at (302) 739-7641.
