Wahoo River Investments LLC Investment Losses

Wahoo River Investments, LLC, Syndicated Conservation Easement Investment

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities fraud lawsuits against broker dealers or sales agents who may have unsuitably recommended Wahoo River Investments LLC to unsuspecting investors.

Syndicated conservation easement investments are private placement investments promising tax deductions possibly worth four to four-and-a-half times a person’s investment. That means an investor could hypothetically turn a $100,000 investment into $400,000 or more in tax deductions.

The company filed a form D to raise capital from 25  investors in 2017 for the offering Wahoo River Investments LLC. The  total offering amount sold was purportedly $5,801,400.

The Department of Justice reportedly filed a lawsuit against several conservation easement sponsors including EcoVest Capital  in 2018 after the IRS began investigating taxpayers who are using questionable appraisals, and taking inappropriately large deductions for easements.

The lawsuit alleges that the companies are overvaluing and fraudulently distributing conservation easement tax deductions. The suit is currently ongoing.

Investors who received charitable contribution deductions of more than 2.5 times their investment could possibly be audited, and potentially even hit with a revised tax bill.

Filing a Complaint against your Brokerage Firm

Prior to making recommendations to an individual investor, brokerage firms are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to disclose all the risks of an investment. Recommendations should only be made if the investment is suitable for an individual investor given their age, investment objections, investment experience and risk tolerance.

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligence on an investment and/or make unsuitable recommendations can be held accountable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration.
