If you were the victim of a Ponzi scheme, you may be tempted to raise the issue directly to your broker or brokerage firm. You need to be exceedingly careful when contacting these parties as they are potential defendants. Specifically, brokerage firms, who may be liable for negligence or failure to supervise, will often try to cover their tracks. They will try to use what you say against you if they can get away with it. To protect yourself, it is much better to deal with any potential defendants directly through your Ponzi scheme lawyer. You have a good reason to be angry, but it is time to let your lawyer handle the case.
