According to Shopoff Securities owner and broker William Shopoff’s CRD, more than $40M in settlements have been made to his customers since 2018. Also, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) accused him, his brokerage firm, and his brother of allegedly operating a $12.5M Ponzi scam. The self-regulatory organization (SRO) case contends that Shopoff used some of the investment proceeds to pay for personal expenses and overstated his liquidity and net worth related to the selling of Shopoff Land Fund IV and Shopoff Land Fund III.

Our investment loss recovery attorneys also are looking into allegations that Bill Shopoff allegedly unsuitably recommended Integris Secured Credit Fund II. Touted as a collateralized note that could allow participants to generate passive income from a fixed 12% yearly interest rate that was supposed to be paid quarterly, there are investors who reportedly did not receive that income last quarter.

Representing Accredited and High-Net-Worth Investors In Their Broker Fraud Lawsuits

The victims of this alleged Shopoff Ponzi scam appear to be accredited investors. However, just because an investor has or makes enough money to fulfill the criteria for what it means to be “accredited” doesn’t mean that they are experienced investors or that they can easily withstand serious losses. As a matter of fact, while the alternative investment opportunities that are open to accredited investors can present the chance of making higher yields than what they might earn with more traditional investments, the exposure to the risk of loss is greater.
