Miami-Based David Coggins Accused of Perpetrating Alleged Securities Fraud Silver Law Group is continuing to investigate and has now filed several lawsuits on behalf of victims of an alleged hedge fund fraud perpetrated by David Coggins, who investors claim operated a bogus hedge fund named Coral Gables Capital, LP and/or Coral Gables Asset Holdings, LP. Coggins managed these “funds” through his company Coral Gables Asset Management, LLC. Coggins has spent the last few years soliciting investments for his hedge fund, which investors now contend was a total fraud through which Coggins stole investors’ funds. Among other things, in Silver Law Group’s pending cases, investors have alleged: Coggins contacted prospective investors by sharing fake marketing materials and performance data which made Coggins’ fund, Coral Gables Capital and/or Coral Gables Asset Holdings, seem as if it was generating substantial returns over the past few years. Coggins even created fake audit reports and a compliance manual intended to dupe investors into believing they were dealing with a legitimate, established hedge fund with millions in assets under management.Miami-Based David Coggins Accused of Perpetrating Alleged Securities Fraud

It’s happened again—a startup company that touted revolutionary changes to an industry is being accused of fraud. After Elizabeth Holmes and her blood-testing company, Theranos, had a reputation later discovered as built on falsehoods, a Canadian recycling company is being accused of misrepresentations.  Similar to Theranos, Montreal-based plastic recycler Loop Industries claims to have “revolutionary technology.” Now, Loop has been outed by a report from Hindenburg Research that reports more than what’s been told. Hindenburg culled information from various sources, including industrial experts, company partners, competitors, company documents, as well as former employees of the company. They also submitted their findings to regulators. After the Hindenburg report’s release, shares of the company have dropped nearly 40%.

Solving A Recycling Problem Although plastic recycling is more widespread than ever before, the practice isn’t without faults. Not every type of plastic is recyclable, and some are more difficult than others. PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is the plastic that’s ubiquitous in bottled water, as well as packaging for foods and other beverages. Just last month, the company released 1,880,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $12.75 per share. Roth Capital Partners was acting as the sole manager for the offering.It’s happened again—a startup company that touted revolutionary changes to an industry is being accused of fraud.

In June 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued an opinion in the case Isaiah v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. This landmark decision narrowly defines which claims can be brought by a court-appointed receiver for entities that perpetrated a Ponzi scheme, leaving a broad category of claims to the investor-victims to be litigated either individually or on a class action basis. Ponzi Scheme Background This case arose out of a Ponzi scheme in which two fraudsters used business entities they controlled to bilk millions of dollars from more than 2,000 investors. According to the 11th Circuit opinion, “the Ponzi schemers solicited investors by promising astronomical returns on investments supposedly involving the trade of Venezuelan and U.S. currency.” Unfortunately, in true Ponzi scheme fashion, the perpetrators were paying so-called “distributions” to existing investors using money continuously being raised from new investors. The scheme ultimately was uncovered and fell apart, and a court-appointed receiver was put in place to stand in the shoes of the fraudulent entities to protect the creditors’ (the victims’) rights. When a Ponzi scheme is uncovered, a court-appointed receiver is often put in place to unravel the financial misconduct committed by the fraudsters.In June 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued an opinion in the case Isaiah v.
