The plaintiff claims that Aequitas’ auditing firms and Aequitas’ law firms participated and aided in the unlawful sales of Aequitas securities, and that as a result, Defendants are jointly and severally liable to return to all Aequitas investors the money they paid for the securities, plus interest at the rate stated in the security or 9 percent
Between January 2014 and January 2016, Aequitas-affiliated entities raised about $350 million selling notes directly to investors pursuant to Private Placement Memorandums representing the funds would be used to purchase trade receivables. But according to a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), unbeknownst to investors, the May 2014 default of an entity accounting for 75% of ACF’s receivables pushed the Aequitas funds into insolvency. Thereafter, private placement proceeds were used not to purchase trade receivables but principally to pay operating costs, as well as redemptions and interests to existing investors.
