总部位于德克萨斯州的房地产投资信托基金被指控庞氏骗局

自从德克萨斯州的一家非交易房地产投资信托基金IV IV IV以来,大约四年前,他因指控它像庞氏骗局一样遭到抨击。这些索赔来自当时匿名的短卖家,将其发布在网站上收获交换。J. Kyle Bass of Hayman Capital has since been disclosed as the short seller. UDF IV, in turn accused the hedge fund manager of “creating a significant short position” and seeking to illegally profit by manipulating the REIT’s shares. Soon after, the FBI raided the United Development Funding office in Grapevine, Texas. The fraud allegations and the FBI raid, not to mention allegations of possible concentrated lending practices by UDF IV, caused shares of REIT to plunge.

在七月,美国证bob200体育券交易委员会宣布,它正在向UDF IV,UDF III和许多UDF高管收取误导性投资者的费用,因为他们没有告诉他们使用新的UDF IV的资金来支付较旧的UDF III的投资者。UDF资金据称,除分销外,还向潜在投资者提升了每年9.75%的收益。在SEC案中被指控的人包括UDF总裁本杰明·维辛克(Benjamin Wissink),首席执行官Hollis Greenlaw,Theodore Etter董事长,CFO Caro Obert和UDF IV首席会计官David Hanson。

Wissink, Etter, Greenlaw, and Obert settled the SEC’s case over their alleged involvement in misleading investors, but they did so without denying or admitting to the allegations. They will pay $8.2M in disgorgement, civil penalties, and prejudgment interest. Hanson will pay a $85K penalty for his alleged role in signing SEC filings that were “false.”
