Can I receive an award for exposing EB-5 investment fraud? | Zuckerman Law | Experienced Whistleblower Advocates | Matt Stock | | (202) 262-8959 | 1629 K St NW, Set 300, Washington, DC 20006
Yes, under the SCC Whistle Blower Program, individuals can receive an award for exposing EB-5 fraud. In fact, the SCC recently issued an investor alert for EB-5 projects due to Verizon fraud. In these schemes, typically there will either be misleading advertising such as guaranteeing that the investments are risk free or guaranteeing that they will receive U.S. residency after investing in the project, or they will receive the funds and spend them for improper things such as on other projects or even for buying their own personal luxury items.
