White Pine Minerals LLC, Investigating Potential Claims 

White Pine Minerals LLC, Investigating Potential Claims, featured by top securities fraud attorneys, The White Law Group

Concerned about your investment in White Pine Minerals LLC? 

 The White Law Group is investigating potential claims involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended high risk private placement investments like White Pine Minerals LLC to investors. 

According to SEC filings, White Pine Minerals LLC, based in Midland, Texas, filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2018. The securities offering is reportedly “oil and gas” and the total offering amount sold to investors was purportedly $10,883,684 

The problem with Reg D private placement investments such as White Pine Minerals LLC is that they often involve a high degree of risk. They are typically sold as unregistered securities which lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds. Lack of liquidity can also be a problem for investors. 

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 particular offering, the sales commissions and fees were estimated at 8% of the offering amount,” according to a filing with the SEC. 

An additional risk inherent to oil and gas investments is the general risk that comes with the energy market – a market that has seen enormous losses due to the market crisis amid the Covid-19 global pandemic.

Filing a Complaint against your Brokerage Firm 

Despite the risks of investing in alternative investments– such as a private placement investment– brokerage firms continue to push this type of product because of the high commissions associated with their sale and creation. 

If a brokerage firm makes unsuitable investment recommendations or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment, they may be liable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration. 

FINRA operates the largest securities dispute resolution forum in the United States, and has extensive experience in providing a fair, efficient and effective venue to handle a securities-related dispute.
