Here’s how a California District Court Regulatory Receiver can help you:
Regulatory agencies may seek the appointment of a regulatory receiver in connection with allegations involving violation of various laws. These include securities laws while the defendant was offering, selling, and managing funds or portfolios or activity involving violations of the anti-fraud and securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws related to the purchase and sale of stock. In addition, defendants may be engaged in marketing, telemarketing, and sale of consumer services with false representations and receipt of advanced fees without the required disclosures.

-
Ponzi-Like Schemes
Ponzi schemes where new investors’ funds are used to provide returns to earlier investors.
-
Digital Asset Investment Schemes
Companies may solicit funds from investors related to digital assets, commodities, derivatives, swaps and commodity futures contracts.
-
Precious Metal Scams
Fraudsters lure investors into buying precious metals with false representations.
-
Fee Scams
The company lures investors into investing into investment scams that earn high rates of returns; once the investor seeks to withdraw funds, fees are charged in the form of commissions, transfer fees or taxes.
-
Cryptocurrency
According to the FTC, “The FTC’s new data spotlight shows crypto is a common way for scammers to steal money, with over 46,000 people reporting losing more than a billion dollars in crypto to scams since the start of 2021. Many crypto scams begin with ads, posts, or messages on social media. And most crypto is lost to investment scams, where scammers get you to “invest” money, promising they’ll make you more — quickly. That’s a lie. You won’t make money and you’ll lose your initial “investment.”
-
Real Estate and Investment Scams
Per the FTC, ” Investment scams lure you in with promises of teaching you how to make a lot of money quickly, easily, and with low risk — usually by investing in the financial or real estate markets. Sometimes starting with a free seminar, the scammers later will charge you a hefty fee for their “proven” investment tricks. But the real tricks are the lies they tell you.”
-
Investment Coaching Scams
According to the FTC, “In an investment coaching scam, the scammer will tell you that their “patented,” “tested,” or “proven” strategy (or something similar) will teach you how to make money investing in stocks, bonds, foreign currency, or tax liens. They promise that their investment approach will set you up for life — and even let you stop working.”
-
Unregistered Soliciting Entities
According to the SEC, “These are entities that falsely claim to be registered, licensed, and/or located in the United States in their solicitation of investors. In many cases, SEC investigation reveals that the soliciting entities are not registered in the United States as they claim or imply.”
-
Affinity Fraud
Per the SEC, “Affinity frauds target members of identifiable groups, such as the elderly, or religious or ethnic communities. The fraudsters involved in affinity scams often are – or pretend to be – members of the group. They may enlist respected leaders from the group to spread the word about the scheme, convincing them it is legitimate and worthwhile. Many times, those leaders become unwitting victims of the fraud they helped to promote.”
-
Promissory Notes
According to the SEC, “Promissory notes are a form of debt that companies use to raise money. Investors loan money to a company. In return, investors are promised a fixed amount of periodic income. Typically, the rate of return promised is very high. And, the level of risk promised is very low.”
