Reid Collins’ Complaint in GWG Bankruptcy was Roadmap for Heppner’s Indictment 

Lawyers who spoke to The Texas Lawbook this week said that the complaint filed in February by the Reid Collins & Tsai-represented bankruptcy trustee for GWG Holdings was the Department of Justice’s roadmap to bring criminal proceedings against Bradley Heppner, the former chief executive officer of Beneficient. 

The indictment was filed in the Southern District of New York Oct. 28 and was unsealed Tuesday. Heppner is facing five charges: securities fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, making false statements to auditors and falsifying records in a federal investigation.
