First Capital Real Estate Trust Inc. - SEC Files Complaint
First Capital Real Estate Trust Inc. – Complaint Filed by SEC | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A. May Recover Investor Losses
According to the SEC Allegations
The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Suneet Singal and three entities with two separate frauds, one relating to First Capital Real Estate Trust Inc. (First Capital REIT), and the other relating to a business development company (BDC).
According to the SEC's complaint, Singal falsely claimed that he beneficially owned 12 hotels and purported to contribute them to First Capital REIT in order to acquire a $15.2 million interest in the REIT's operating partnership. Singal and First Capital REIT then made material misrepresentations and omissions concerning the hotels in several Commission filings. The complaint alleges that, as a result of Singal's conduct, First Capital REIT reported inflated net asset values and issued common shares to investors at inflated prices.
The SEC's complaint further alleges that, after acquiring an ownership interest in a BDC's external investment adviser, Singal directed the BDC to make two $1.5 million loans to an entity that he controlled, and then used nearly half of the loan proceeds for his own purposes. The BDC completely lost its $3 million investment.
