Investment fraud takes many forms, from sophisticated investment products that few people understand to outright theft and deceit. We have represented investors who lost money in fraudulent investment schemes such as:
Promissory notes
Real estate investments and REITs
Private placements
Alternative investments
Oil-and-gas programs
Hedge funds
Forex programs
Offshore asset protection programs
Proprietary trading algorithm programs
Commodity trading programs
Sale-leaseback arrangements such as timeshares
In our experience, most fraudulent investment schemes have one thing in common: they are crimes of confidence.
Investors are usually persuaded to invest their money because they trust either the professional or the financial institution that recommended the investment to them. Often times such institutions are charged with protecting the investing public, but fail to do so.
