A Court Appointed San Francisco Regulatory Receiver Is Here to Help
From consumer and investment-fraud matters (including Ponzi-like conduct) to crypto-asset schemes, FedReceiver, Inc. accepts federal equity receivership appointments in cases brought by agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Learn more about our San Francisco regulatory receivership services and firmwide regulatory receiver practice. We operate regularly before the San Francisco Superior Court and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Here’s how a San Francisco Regulatory Receiver can help you:
Regulatory agencies may seek appointment of a receiver when alleged violations of law require a neutral to secure assets, investigate operations, and protect investors or consumers. These cases can include securities-law violations involving offers, sales, or management of funds or portfolios; alleged breaches of anti-fraud and registration provisions tied to the purchase and sale of securities; and consumer-protection issues such as deceptive marketing, telemarketing, advance-fee practices, or undisclosed fees. Matters may also involve digital assets and commodities, including alleged illegal commodity pools or failure to register where required.
-
Ponzi-Like Schemes
Schemes that use new-investor funds to pay earlier investors can be addressed through a court-appointed receiver in San Francisco to marshal assets and implement court-ordered remedies.
-
Digital Asset Investment Schemes
Alleged solicitations tied to digital assets, commodities, derivatives, swaps, or futures may warrant a regulatory receivership to preserve records, trace flows, and manage claims.
-
Precious Metal Scams
When investors are induced to purchase metals based on misrepresentations, a San Francisco regulatory receiver can take control of operations and accounts pending further court direction.
-
Fee Scams
If investors are promised high returns but face undisclosed “commissions,” transfer fees, or taxes on withdrawal, receivership can impose financial controls and transparent reporting. See the judgment-enforcement receiver practice for related remedies.
-
Cryptocurrency
Scams frequently leverage social media and “guaranteed” returns. For consumer guidance, see the FTC’s crypto advice; for enforcement context, see SEC and CFTC resources. Where appropriate, a San Francisco regulatory receiver can secure wallets and records pursuant to court order.
-
Real Estate and Investment Scams
Promotions promising quick, low-risk profits in financial or real-estate investments may be investigated and stabilized through receivership while the court addresses the allegations.
-
Investment Coaching Scams
Claims of “patented” or “proven” strategies to get rich via stocks, forex, or tax liens can trigger consumer-protection actions. Learn how a receiver’s role brings accountability and court-supervised reporting.
-
Unregistered Soliciting Entities
The SEC warns about entities that falsely claim U.S. registration or licensing; due diligence resources are available via the SEC. A San Francisco court receiver can help preserve evidence and assets.
-
Affinity Fraud
Fraudsters may target religious, ethnic, or senior communities through trusted leaders. Court-supervised regulatory receiverships help halt further harm and organize restitution processes.
-
Promissory Notes
High “guaranteed” returns on promissory notes with low “promised” risk are classic red flags. A receiver in San Francisco can inventory obligations and analyze the flow of funds for the court.
