CMCT Investor Alert: Did You Lose Money in Creative Media & Community Trust Corp?

The collapse of Creative Media & Community Trust Corp (CMCT) represents one of the most severe destructions of shareholder value in recent REIT history. Please call to be a part of the CMCT stock loss investigation we are conducting. If you purchased CMCT based on recommendations from a broker who promised safe, steady income, you are not alone—and you may have a valid claim to recover your losses through FINRA arbitration.

As of early 2025, CMCT stock has plummeted approximately 97% over the last year, trading for pennies. But the damage goes deeper than simple market volatility. Our forensic investigation reveals that many investors were sold this speculative vehicle as a "bond equivalent," only to see their "safe" preferred stock redeemed not for cash, but for rapidly depreciating common stock. This corporate maneuver acted as a "dilution machine," forcing retirees to hold volatile equity just as the company suspended dividends and the stock price went off a cliff.

The "Total Return" Myth Brokers often touted the "Total Return" of CMCT, encouraging clients to reinvest dividends. The reality is devastating. Our analysis confirms that the "Total Real Return"—even with dividends reinvested—is profoundly negative. The "income" investors received was often paid in more shares of a dying stock, effectively compounding their losses rather than mitigating them.

Did Your Broker Fail You? Brokers have a fiduciary duty to recommend investments that are suitable for your specific needs. If your financial advisor recommended CMCT, they may have overlooked critical red flags, including the company’s complex external management structure with the CIM Group and the aggressive dilution of shareholder equity. When a broker prioritizes high commissions or firm relationships over your financial security, they violate FINRA rules.

We Can Help You Recover At Soreide Law Group, we are actively investigating claims on behalf of CMCT investors. We have recovered millions of dollars for our clients in FINRA arbitrations nationwide. We operate on a strict contingency fee basis—no fee if no recovery. We advance all costs for your case, meaning you never have to write a check to pursue your claim.

Do not let your broker blame "the market" for preventable losses caused by negligence. If you lost more than $100,000 in CMCT, contact us immediately.
