PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Securities Law Firm of Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP, www.sseklaw.com, is currently investigating claims on behalf of Clients of ING Financial Services, a subsidiary of ING Group NV (NYSE:ING), Signator Investors and Michael Joseph DiMare. According to sources, DiMare may have solicited many of his clients to invest in a Ponzi scheme or some other rouse for extracting money from his clients. These solicitations may have occurred when he was employed by ING Financial Services and/or Signator. We believe Signator and ING could be held responsible for DiMare's actions as his respective former employers. If you were a client of ING Financial Services, Signator and/or Michael Joseph DiMare, we would like to hear from you.
