Imran Razvi – Imran Nazir Razvi (Raz Razvi) Formerly Licensed with Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation – Goodman & Nekvasil P.A. Files Arbitration Claims on Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund
Imran Razvi (Raz Razvi) was licensed with Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation from April 2017 to March 2018. Raz Razvi was previously licensed with The O.N. Equity Sales Company and Park Avenue Securities, LLC. Goodman & Nekvasil, P.A. has learned that Raz Razvi sold the fraudulent Woodbridge Mortgage Investment Fund and has filed an arbitration claim against Raz Razvi’s employer, Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation, on behalf of two different investors seeking to recover monies lost on the fraudulent Woodbridge Investment. Raz Razvi was assisted by several unlicensed Woodbridge sales agents, including Paul Murray Mason (“Murray Mason”).
On December 20, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an action alleging that the Woodbridge investment was a massive Ponzi scheme, and that new investor money was used to pay the returns owed to existing investors. The SEC also alleges that Woodbridge’s business model was a sham, and that Woodbridge and Woodbridge’s owner and President, Robert H. Shapiro, misused and misappropriated investor monies. The SEC points out that Woodbridge admits in its bankruptcy filing that it has less than $12 million in its bank accounts while having investor liabilities approaching $1 billion.
The SEC also alleges that many of the properties Woodbridge purchased remain as vacant lots that have set undeveloped for several years. According to the SEC, nearly all of the purported third-party borrowers were actually limited liability companies owned and controlled by Woodbridge, which had no revenue, no bank accounts and never paid any interest under the loans.
