BiggerPockets is proud that we’ve been able to provide a forum for possible “victims” of what some claim to be a massive real estate fraud. For the past few months tens of thousands of current and possible investors have flocked to BiggerPockets Forums to exchange information and help one another stay abreast of fast moving developments involving Pinnacle Development Partners, LLC. In addition, ex-employees and officials have also participated in the discussion, keeping interested parties in the loop. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) yesterday filed fraud charges against Pinnacle and its founder, Gene O’Neal, claiming that it operated a ponzi scheme.
In the next few weeks, BiggerPockets wil be announcing an exciting new forum, where anyone dealing with real estate will be able to help one another avoid the very real dangers of fraudulent real estate and mortgage schemes.

BiggerPockets.com was founded by Joshua Reed Dorkin in August 2004. An entrepreneur, web designer, real estate investor, and one-time realtor, Joshua was not satisfied by the online offerings of other real estate sites out there, and decided to build one himself. Mr. Dorkin's vision for BiggerPockets has helped to propel it into becoming one of the top real estate destinations online. His vision for the site and its future has brought national press attention to both Mr. Dorkin and to BiggerPockets.

I can’t believe how many people are on here as a result of this whole thing. It’s awesome to see how fast people are flocking to this site and how relieved they are to have a place to vent.
I hate how companies like this give a bad name to real estate. But, the only way to fight back is to provide legit services that produce results.
Sounds like a great plan. real estate professionals need to go that extra mile to educate and protect consumers.
