Kentucky's Poppe Law Firm Files Accounting Malpractice Complaint Against Major Michigan Accounting Firm
Posted on Feb 21, 2008
Detroit Accounting Firm Named in Lawsuit
Involving Alleged Ponzi Scheme
The Investment News reports that accounting firm of Doeren Mayhew & Company was named in a lawsuit filed in Oakland County, Michigan, in connection with a highly publicized multi-million dollar alleged ponzi scheme using partnerships, many purported to earn revenues from telephone usage in Las Vegas hotels. The central figure reported as the mastermind of such investments was Ed May who, along with other individuals and firms, is the subject of several investigations including by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Oakland Press also picked up on the story.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of investors jointly by three law firms: Sheldon Miller & Associates, a premier Detroit area litigation firm, Hans Poppe of the Poppe Law Firm, which focuses on professional negligence claims, inlcuding accounting malpractice claims, and Shepherd Smith & Edwards, LLP, a securities law firm that handles claims for investors nationwide.
The suit states allegations regarding Doeren Mayhew, including that the accounting firm was listed as the accounting firm of record for various partnership investments and that the firm and/or some of its agents and directors were involved with the ongoing business affairs of the partnerships and engaged into direct and indirect communications with investors which misled them regarding these investments.
The law firm of Shepherd, Smith & Edwards also represents a number of individuals and other investors claiming large losses, many in their retirement accounts, after investing into these partnerships. This law firm has also filed claims for misrepresentation and unsuitability in securities arbitrations against a former stockbroker who sold these and other investments to his clients.
The law firms currently seek additional information, documents and other potential evidence regarding these investments, as well as any written or oral communications which may have occurred with the parties to the lawsuit or arbitration claims. Persons are asked to contact Thomas Ruiz or Kirk Smith at 800-259-9010 or via e-mail to truiz@sselaw.com. All such calls and contact will be treated as confidential in nature.
