FINRA: FARMLAND PARTNERS, INC. — THE DOCUMENTS, THE ALLEGATIONS, AND THE DEMAND FOR INVESTIGATION
Dyer alleges that Farmland Partners, Inc. (NYSE: FPI), represents a continuation and escalation of the alleged fraud schemes involving Midwest Farmland Partners and American Farmland Partners, potentially constituting a massive racketeering enterprise.
These allegations are supported by well over a decade of documentary evidence, including corporate records, securities transactions, regulatory orders, financial representations, correspondence, and other evidence identifying connections among the entities and individuals involved. Dyer has presented documented questions to the relevant parties and afforded those identified an opportunity to respond. The evidence, the questions raised, and the responses—or failures to respond—form part of the record Dyer is asking FINRA and other appropriate authorities to investigate.
The following chronology documents Dyer's FINRA complaint, the referral to FINRA's National Cause and Financial Crimes Detection Program, the circumstances surrounding the unauthorized sale of Dyer's FPI shares, the Forsythe family's transactions and alleged profits, and the unresolved questions concerning FPI's predecessor entities, securities history, and disclosures.
THE DEMAND IS STRAIGHTFORWARD: INVESTIGATE THE DOCUMENTS, ESTABLISH THE FACTS, IDENTIFY THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES, AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
