sounds like a lot of smaller dollars  IE under 100k investors.. so usually not worth litigating over money wise and then someone who gets over his ski tips .. never intended to end up with all these pissed off and wrong investors but once you Rob Peter to Pay Paul you rarely recover.. 

Often times scammer prey on people with limited money, marginal credit, etc. as they know they can sell them systems for a few K or take a small upfront fee and those people typically do not have the resources to fight it. ( The expense needed to possibly recover often exceeds what they lost).

Out of pocket cost to purchase (DP 20%): $135,200Monthly cash flow: $5,400 - $4,000 (mortgage) = $1,400Months to recover only DP: $135,200 / $1,400 = 84.5 It will take you about 8 years to recover your down payment.
