Oil and gas private placements are speculative and inherently high risk investments. Typically these types of investments lack liquidity, and are better suited for sophisticated and institutional investors. In addition, oil and gas private placements are exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and therefore they lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investments.

Brokerage firms that sell oil and gas private placements, like K&M Oil, have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence to determine if the investment has a reasonable likelihood of success. Unfortunately, some brokers may have recommended K&M Oil to investors even though the investment was unsuitable for their clients.  When brokers make inappropriate investment recommendations, both the broker and the firm, may be liable for investment losses.
