Pacific Private Money, a Novato-based real estate lending company, has suspended all investor redemptions due to severe liquidity problems. Over 100 investors, including Dennis Xifaras who invested $450,000, are uncertain about recovering their funds. The company's chief operating officer resigned in January, followed by the hiring of restructuring specialist Bill Brinkman, who indicated the company operates with critically minimal cash and faces operational risks. Brinkman estimated net recoveries would amount to only a fraction of total investor capital. Approximately 130 to 140 investors are coordinating complaints with authorities and regulators. The Marin County District Attorney's Office is investigating consumer complaints against the company.
