Several Peiffer Rosca Wolf securities practice lawyers have begun investigating investment recovery options on behalf of investors in Murakami – operated hedge funds such as MC2 Capital Canadian Opportunities Fund, MC2 Capital Partners, and MC2 Capital Value Partners. Investors who believe they may have lost money in Murakami’s MC2 Capital Canadian Opportunities Fund and his other hedge funds are encouraged to contact attorneys Alan Rosca or James Booker with any useful information or for a free, no obligation discussion about their options
Murakami allegedly lost $6,000,000 of investor money and Murakami and the various MC2 Entities have brought in at least $15,280,000 from a minimum of forty-seven investors, the aforementioned Complaint notes.
Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin gave a statement which charges Murakami with alleged “material misrepresentations and omissions, misappropriation of investor funds, and operation of an illegal Ponzi scheme”, the Complaint reports.
Said Complaint also seeks repayment to investors for losses, the disgorgement of all profits and an administrative fine.
Murakami also allegedly used investor money in order to pay personal expenses such as luxury hotels, liquor stores, specialty cars, American Express bills, and high-end shops such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, according to the aforementioned Complaint.

Yasuna Murakami Allegedly Took in Over $3.5 million in the Early Days of His Fund, but Had Negative Cash Balance of Approximately $2.4 million in 2008 Resulting in a Margin Call Which Nearly Wiped Out Investors
Murakami allegedly started his hedge funds in 2007 with the MC2 Capital Partners Fund, according to a Complaint from the Massachusetts Division of Securities presently being examined by attorneys Alan Rosca, Joe Peiffer, and James Booker.
Murakami allegedly created the fund with a former classmate and sold it mainly to friends and family members, the aforementioned Complaint states, and allegedly subsequently took in more than $3.5 million, the Complaint reports.
Murakami’s operations allegedly had a negative cash balance of about $2.4 million in 2008, which led to a margin call that essentially wiped out the investors’ equity, according to reports from Galvin’s office.
The second fund, MC2 Capital Value Partners Fund, launched in 2008, had had net losses in its first three years.
Over the life of the Partners Fund and the Value Fund, however, Murakami and the MC2 Entities allegedly failed to inform investors of the losses in both funds,” the Complaint states.
What is more, Murakami and the MC2 Entities allegedly took active measures to conceal the aforementioned losses from investors by soliciting additional investments and providing false or misleading performance numbers, the Complaint reports.
IN 2009, Murakami struck up a partnership with Donville Kent Asset Management of Toronto in order to launch the MC2 Capital Canadian Opportunities Fund, the Complaint states.
Later by 2011, Murakami and MC2 allegedly recruited investors and managed the fund’s back-office operations and Kent purportedly managed the investment portfolio, the Complaint notes.
A Massachusetts state regulator made the following statement:
“The association with Donville Kent was crucial in the decision of many to invest in the Canadian Fund, including one institutional investor from the Boston area who put in $2 million.”
Furthermore, in 2015, Donville Kent allegedly broke off his relationship with the MC2 entities, but Murakami allegedly failed to relay this information to Canadian Fund investors at large of said development, according to the aforementioned state regulators.
What is more, Murakami allegedly used investor money from the Canadian Fund to fund promised returns or redemptions to Partners Fund and Value Fund investors, the Complaint reports.
Finally, Murakami, while appearing before the Securities Division, allegedly invoked his right against self-incrimination, the Complaint notes.
