- Q. What can I do to get my money back from Private Shares in company I invested. (Not publicly traded)
- A: You should discuss the situation with a lawyer that specializes in securities law. Many will offer free initial consultations, and they can give a more in depth answer since you will be able to share more details with them than this process allows. The answer should be in documents you received at the time of your investment, such as a subscription agreement. Best of luck.
- Q. What is court solution to corporate defrauding of stockholders
- A: It depends on what the company did, and to some extent whether they are a publicly traded company. You should contact an attorney that specialized in securities law matters and discuss what you believe the basis of your claim is.

- Q. On 3/21/13 I filled out an app. for a brokerage account a PNC. They withdrew 200,000 from checking to acct. Can I cancel
- A: The answer depends on what they withdrew the money for, and what agreements you may have signed with PNC. If it was just to fund your account, then it should be very easy to reverse the transaction. If, on the other hand, it was to buy securities, and those securities have already been purchased, then you may have to pay certain transaction and other fees to liquidate the securities and get the cash back. You should review the account documents that you signed or agreed to, and consider talking to an attorney that handles securities law matters. You can use the lawyer directory to find one locally. Best of luck.
