Eighteen Additional Investors Join Lawsuit

A second group of eighteen investors has filed a separate federal complaint against First National Realty Partners, alleging similar patterns of fraud and misrepresentation that mirror the original complaint filed on August 14, 2025.

Key Allegations

The new complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, includes several key allegations:

  • Undisclosed Management Fees: Investors claim they were not informed about significant management fees that reduced their returns
  • Inflated Performance Claims: Marketing materials allegedly contained exaggerated and misleading performance projections
  • Conflicted Transactions: Defendants allegedly used affiliated entities to funnel investor funds for personal benefit

Growing Pattern

This latest filing brings the total number of affected investors to over 30, representing millions of dollars in allegedly fraudulent investments. The similarity of allegations across multiple complaints suggests a systematic pattern of misconduct.

Legal Implications

The additional complaint strengthens the case against FNRP by demonstrating that the alleged fraud was not isolated to a single group of investors. This pattern evidence is crucial for establishing the defendants' intent and the scope of the alleged scheme.

Next Steps

The court is expected to consolidate the related cases for efficiency. A hearing on the consolidation motion is scheduled for September 15, 2025.
