I am preparing to file a lawsuit in California against Clayton Morris, Morris Invest, and Oceanpointe Investments for breach of contract, fraud, negligence, and more.  I was wondering if any others are pending, especially class actions?  I need to speak to other lawyers or individuals who have started the process and have made successful service of process of the summons and complaint.

 RICO  I think   skip the class action.. 

 I spoke to a couple CA attorneys and they don’t think RICO is the way to go out here, at least in this state. I just want restitution for myself. For others and the protection of the public I hope there are criminal charges brought.

 OK have you filed a complaint with the AG in Indiana and the department of real estate.. have you put docs together and sent them to the investigative reporters at the big paper and the Business Journal  ??? 

 Yes I filed a complaint with the AG and there is an open investigation. 

I will be publishing a press release as soon as the lawsuit is filed.

 Danny who did you hire? What state will the lawsuit be filed in?

I am a California attorney and intend to sue Clayton Morris and Oceanpointe Investments very soon for their fraud.  I lost my family's savings of 45k to a scam.

I bought a property from Morris Invest back in January of this year. I, like many others was allured by the numbers and podcasts and as a newbie thought it was a great way to kind of get my foot in the door of real estate investing. Boy was I wrong. My rental was supposed to be completed in 90 days and we are well over a month over that and I cannot get an answer from anyone as to what condition the property is in. No updates. I don’t know if it has even been touched since the day I bought it.
I was told to “trust the system and if I can’t handle that then this way of real estate investing isn’t for you.” - this is a system no one should trust... I am fairly certain no rehab has been done on my property or at least is not complete given the facts of what is currently going on in the Indy market with MI. Everything is a mess over there right now and they are unable to help their investors. I was told since we bought the house through “Jax property” (a subsidiary company of Oceanpointe-which we didnt know) its our property and Morris invest never actually sold it to us nor will they accept any responsibility in their failures of business. We went into this believing they had their business model together and could provide what they say they can all over their online videos. That’s far from the truth and so many people are getting screwed because of it.

I have seen 0 returns and do not know what state my property is in.This is not something anyone wants to get wrapped into. I was told by a Morris invest my best course of action is to find property management team myself and have them assess the property. What a JOKE! Morris Invest is something to avoid and they need to answer for all of this. I feel they have misrepresented many things and keep the wool over your eyes the entire process. It is a slimy, unethical and untruthful way to do business. My heart goes out to any other investor that trusted Morris invest with their money.

 The purchase agreements I've seen were signed by Clayton Morris on the sellers side.  Was your PA signed by him?

Mine was not. Oceanpointe - Natalie Bastin.

@Jacob Carlson sorry you’re in the same boat as most of us. This house of cards appears to now be on the brink of collapse. I expect the lawsuit tidal wave to begin soon. 


google it.. state of Indiana AG office  then hit tab that says file complaint .

 Thank you Jay. I filed my complaint.  For others, the link is here:

@Brian Freeman  contact  @Colin Zhu    right away.. 

also please file a complaint against Morris/ OP with the AG's office its free and takes 5 minutes.. the only way this gets stopped is through the regulators.. as you can see today Morris is still selling the same model on his pod casts

 Where is the link to file a complaint with the AG office?
