Investigation into Maluhia Investment Losses

Many investors have experienced significant losses as a result of purchasing Maluhia Eight. As such, The White Law Group is investigating claims against the broker-dealers that sold Maluhia Eight and their liability for investment losses

According to Form Reg-D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Maluhia Eight set out to raise $2,435,000 in 12% collateralized profit participation securities. The risks associated with unregistered securities, like Maluhia Eight, are high and often speculative making this type of investment unsuitable for many investors.

Broker-dealers have a responsibility to recommend securities products that are consistent with each individual client’s age, net-worth, investment objectives, financial needs, and risk tolerance. Unfortunately, it appears that some broker-dealers overlooked suitability requirements and industry regulations.

The high commission’s that broker-dealers earned by selling Maluhia may have provided the incentive to ignore industry rules. According to Form Reg-D filed in July 2008, Maluhia offered a 10% commission to brokers that sold the investment. After barely 2 years Maluhia 8 filed for bankruptcy. In addition, Maluhia Nine appears to have filed for bankruptcy as well.

When broker-dealers overlook suitability requirements and industry regulations they may be liable for investment losses.
