Justia Lawyer Rating for Adam Julien Gana

shutterstock_173509961-300x200The law offices of Gana Weinstein LLP are representing investors to recover losses due to investments in Inspired Healthcare Capital (IHC) – a private equity / alternative investment sponsor based in Arizona  focused on senior housing, healthcare real estate, and senior living projects.  On February 2, 2026, IHC filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth Division).  IHC’s bankruptcy comes against the backdrop of an ongoing SEC inquiry.  Industry reporting suggests that only 10 to 15 out of IHC’s 35 senior living properties were performing at the time of the investment’s distribution suspension raising concerns about misallocation of capital.  By August 2025, a lawsuit was filed against IHC and its CEO, Luke Lee, alleging that a $1.5 million loan was based on misrepresentations. The suit claims that Lee failed to disclose over $200 million in existing personal guarantees and the severe financial distress that existed at the time the loan was executed.  The bankruptcy filing appears to confirm what many have already speculated – that investors stand to lose a substantial amount of their investment in IHC.

For the past six months our firm has handled dozens of calls from concerned investors after IHC and its affiliated investments stopped paying distributions.  However, many investors continue to believe that they do not need to hire an attorney for a variety of reasons – mainly that someone is working on their behalf and that their funds will just be returned to them without having to hire an attorney.

The fact is that investments that fail under suspicious circumstances involving the failure to disclose use of funds have an extremely poor track record of future success.  Case in point, GWG Holdings.  Similar to IHC, in April 2022 GWG entered bankruptcy.  At that time many brokerage firm representatives told their clients that GWG would just restructure in bankruptcy and would repay investors.  Fast forward a couple of years and it turns out investors would only receive approximately 2.7 to 3.45% of their invested amount.  Those who trusted their advisors recommendations to stay put have found that many of the firms that recommended GWG are now out of business themselves – remedies that existed had they acted sooner are now gone.  IHC is likely to follow a similar path with brokerage firms telling their clients not to take action to client detriment.
