Fraud

Plaintiffs are unsophisticated Chinese nationals, most of whom neither speak nor read English. They sought out the American dream -- the opportunity for them and their family to live, go to school and work in the United States. But their dream has been turned into a financial nightmare.Defendants schemed and conspired to fraudulently induce Plaintiffs and other investors (collectively, the "Investors") to each invest $500,000.00 under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. NYCRC, Olsen and Levinsohn misled the Plaintiffs to invest, repeatedly and continually breached their fiduciary duties, failed to act as reasonable and prudent managers, breached the Fund's Operating Agreement, enriched themselves at the Fund's and the Plaintiff's' expense, violated the Limited Liability Company Law and engaged in a lengthy and extraordinary cover-up to prevent the Plaintiffs and other Investors from discovering the truth.
