Woodbridge Bankruptcy Fraud Investigation

The Securities Lawyers at Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane & Conway are aggressively investigating the recent Chapter 11 Bankruptcy of Woodbridge, specifically as it relates to numerous ongoing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and numerous state-level securities regulators.

 

Woodbridge recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after missing payments on notes sold to investors. Specifically, Woodbridge investors were not paid their monthly dividends. Regulators are reportedly focusing their initial investigation on sales of Woodbridge investments by unlicensed investment professionals, as well as numerous others.

 

As reported in Bloomberg News and cited by Investment News, “[t]he company’s CEO, Robert Shapiro, resigned on Friday but will continue to work as a consultant to the firm, according to a company press release.”  Shockingly, he will continue to be paid a monthly fee of $175,000 for consulting. Additionally, Lawrence Perkins is now the company’s new Chief Restructuring Officer and Marc Beilinson is the new Independent Manager.

According to a recent lawsuit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC is currently investigating the offer and sale of unregistered securities, the sale of securities by unregistered brokers, and the commission of fraud in connection with the offer, purchase, and sale of securities.

 

According to court filings, Woodbridge has raised more than $1 Billion from thousands of investors around the country through multiple investment offerings.

 

Woodbridge Funds is no stranger to regulatory issues and investigations; according to a Massachusetts enforcement action, “the Woodbridge Funds are commercial lenders that make hard-money loans secured by commercial property.” The Woodbridge Funds raise money from investors to help fund the hard-money loans. The Woodbridge Companies refer to these investments as First Position Commercial Mortgages (“FPCM”).

 

The Woodbridge Funds advertise that their management teams’ substantial experience lets them maintain a successful lending model and find lending opportunities that are favorable for investors. Investors do not have any role other than providing money. Additionally, the Woodbridge Funds’ marketing materials state that the Woodbridge Funds are obligated to make payments to investors even if the underlying hard-money borrower defaults.

HOW TO PURSUE RECOVERY OF YOUR WOODBRIDGE MORTGAGE FUND INVESTMENTS.

 

Due to FPCMs involving risk typicaly to real estate investments, a Woodbridge Mortgage Fund Investor may need to pursue action against the Woodbridge Fund, the registered investment broker, and the third party hard-money borrower to recover losses.
