In March, a federal judge entered a final judgement in a case brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) against International Investment Group LLC (“IIG”). According to the SEC, IIG doctored loan records and inflated the value of defaulted loans. The SEC also alleged that IIG sold $60 million in fake loans to cover up losses in its flagship hedge fund. The judgement ordered IIG to pay $30.9 million in disgorgement and $4.3 million in prejudgment interest, which has since been paid by IIG.
We just wanted to say thanks for your work in helping us get back some of the money we lost. We are not by any means rich, but we have saved some money and we have done so through a tight-fisted approach to most everything we do. So losing a significant chunk of money hurt…especially at a time when everyone else was growing their accounts. We really appreciate the work you did.
