(LegalLaw247.comation attorney Robert G. Klein has filed a civil lawsuit seeking a constructive trust and alleging various forms of fraud. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a client who invested more than $1.2 million with a man he trusted as his partner, only to later discover that the former partner kept most of the money for himself and later used it to buy into a company he now owns. That company now has over 200 employees and receives over $10 million in annual sales as reported by credit reporting agencies.
This appears to be a clear case of fraud. My client has contracts that identify the lots he was buying and the amount he paid, said Robert G. Klein. We then obtained documents from the developer that show that the defendant in our case had the lots registered in his wife's name and actually paid about one quarter of the price he charged my client. He pocketed the difference.
The lawsuit seeks to impose a constructive trust on the assets of the business this partner now owns, thereby restoring the property to Mr. Kleins client and preventing any further unjust enrichment by the former partner. The lawsuit is also seeking damages for securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duties and common law fraud.
