Investor Alert – FusionPharm Inc.

Are you concerned about your investment in FusionPharm Inc.? If so, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

FusionPharm Inc. is a Denver-based company that recycles shipping containers into greenhouses marketed to cannabis growers.

The company was the fifth pot-related company to have sales of its stock halted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2014, according to the Denver Post.

According to a press announcement in May 2014, the SEC temporarily suspended trading in the securities of FusionPharm Inc. due to a lack of current and accurate information about the company because of questions that have been raised about the accuracy and adequacy of publicly disseminated information concerning, among other things:

(1) the company’s assets;
(2) the company’s revenues;
(3) the company’s financial statements;
(4) the company’s business transactions; and
(5) the company’s current financial condition.

According to SEC filings, FusionPharm Inc. filed a Form D to raise capital from investors in 2012 in Denver, CO. The total offering amount was $1,000,000.

Investments such as these are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission. High fees can range from 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%. In this case, sales commissions of 8% were paid on the investment, according to the Form D.

The problem with private placement investments such as FusionPharm Inc. is that they typically involve a high degree of risk. They are also often sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.
