A Court Appointed San Diego Regulatory Receiver Is Here to Help
From consumer and investment fraud schemes, including Ponzi-like conduct and cryptocurrency fund scams, FedReceiver, Inc. serves as a court-appointed regulatory receiver in federal equity receivership matters involving cases filed in San Diego County and California federal courts. Our appointments often arise from actions brought by regulatory agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Here’s how a San Diego Regulatory Receiver can help you:
Regulatory agencies may seek the appointment of a San Diego regulatory receiver in connection with allegations involving violations of various federal and state laws. These matters often include violations of securities laws related to the offering, sale, and management of investment funds or portfolios, as well as violations of federal anti-fraud and securities registration provisions involving the purchase and sale of stock. In addition, defendants may be engaged in deceptive marketing, telemarketing, or the sale of consumer services involving false representations or the collection of advance fees without required disclosures. Defendants may also be involved in the fraudulent solicitation of digital assets or cryptocurrency, the operation of illegal commodity pools, or the failure to register as a Commodity Pool Operator.
-
Ponzi-Like Schemes
Ponzi-type schemes in which funds from new investors are used to pay purported returns to earlier investors.
-
Digital Asset Investment Schemes
Entities that solicit investor funds related to digital assets, commodities, derivatives, swaps, or commodity futures contracts.
-
Precious Metal Scams
Fraud schemes in which investors are induced to purchase precious metals based on false or misleading representations.
-
Fee Scams
Schemes in which investors are promised high rates of return, but upon attempting to withdraw funds are assessed excessive commissions, transfer fees, or purported tax charges.
-
Cryptocurrency
According to the Federal Trade Commission, “The FTC’s data shows cryptocurrency is a common method used by scammers, with tens of thousands of individuals reporting losses totaling more than one billion dollars since 2021. Many crypto scams originate from advertisements, social media posts, or direct messages. Most losses result from investment scams that falsely promise quick profits, when in reality the investor loses the entire amount invested.”
-
Real Estate and Investment Scams
Per the FTC, “Investment scams often promise to teach individuals how to make large sums of money quickly, easily, and with minimal risk, typically through financial or real estate investments. These schemes may begin with free seminars and later require significant fees for purportedly proven investment strategies that are ultimately fraudulent.”
-
Investment Coaching Scams
According to the FTC, “Investment coaching scams involve claims that a proprietary or ‘proven’ strategy will teach individuals how to profit from investments such as stocks, bonds, foreign currency, or tax liens. These schemes often promise financial independence while concealing substantial risk and loss.”
-
Unregistered Soliciting Entities
According to the SEC, “These entities falsely claim to be registered, licensed, or based in the United States when soliciting investors. SEC investigations frequently reveal that such entities are not registered as claimed or implied.”
-
Affinity Fraud
Per the SEC, “Affinity fraud targets members of identifiable groups, including religious, ethnic, or senior communities. Fraudsters often present themselves as trusted members of the group or enlist respected community leaders, who may unknowingly help promote fraudulent schemes.”
-
Promissory Notes
According to the SEC, “Promissory notes are debt instruments used by companies to raise capital. Investors lend money in exchange for promised periodic income, often with unusually high returns and understated risk.”
