SEC Orders Legendary Capital Founder and REIT Advisors to Pay Nearly $5 Million

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law 

Corey Maple, co-founder of non-traded REIT sponsor Legendary Capital, has agreed to a $100,000 civil penalty to settle charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The charges stem from inappropriate expense reimbursements made to external advisors of Lodging Opportunity Real Estate Investment Trust and Lodging Fund REIT III Inc. As reported by DI Wire.com, the SEC found that those improper reimbursements, directed to Legacy Hospitality II LLC and Legendary Capital REIT III LLC, amounted to approximately $5 million.

 

Eccleston Law LLC represents investors and financial advisors nationwide in securities, employment, transition, regulatory, and disciplinary matters.

I learned two important things working with Eccleston Law. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
