This report should be read by anyone even remotely thinking about getting involved with any company run or involved with SAMER KURAISHI OR RICHARD BALLES, including the companies listed below, which Sam claims to be the President and CEO of. These two clowns are the epitamy of whats going bad in america these days. Not only did they ruin the lives of a number of their "friends", they have untimately fed the underlying problem gripping our country in the 2008 financial crisis.
Sam and Rich run A-K Real Estate, A-K Financial, some stupid "hedge fund" called Black Taurus and several other bogus companies. They are complete scam artists that prey on people close to them. A typical transaction run by then includes signing false VOI, VOE, bank statements, etc.
A-K Real Estate is a bucket shop residential real estate firm with offices in Germantown and Rockville Maryland. A-K Financial is the lending arm of the same company where Sam and Rich produce all of the bogus loan statements, docs and other related documentation to complete a transaction. The process starts with a simple craigs list add mentioning some unbelievable real estate deal with all closing costs paid for, no out of pocket costs, great deal etc....When someone calls or is interested, Rich starts babbling about how he is the greatest agent and able to complete any transaction with any client. Yeah, its real easy when everything is a lie......Then they take you out to look at properties.
When the client finds one they like, the two of them start their typical sales 101 crap of "we can get you in this investment with no money down, cash back at the table, blah blah blah". Then they send in an offer which is usually higher than the asking price and say, "dont worry, i will get out appraiser to beef up the amount so you can take that extra money out and use it for closing costs." HIGHLY illegal. Keep in mind, their commission is benefited by higher pricing. next they get A-K Financial involved.
Rich and Sam draft up some false CPA letter verifying income and emplyment, show one of THEIR old bank statments with a large sum of money in it and push the transaction through quickly. They also get paid commissions from the banks on the loans they generate so they are winning both ways. The list of fraud goes on and on.
Then I heard from some people that know them they have started a "hedge fund" called Black Taurus. This is the biggest boat load of bullsh_t I have ever heard in my life. Neither one of them is a licensed investment adviser with the necessary knowledge to take money from investors. Its a total scam.....These two idiots need to be stopped.
Sam drives around in his Range Rover claiming to be some big time business man. He hurt so many people and laughs about it. The problem hasnt even begun for his clients as many of them have adjustable loans that will change in several years. All the while, he will keep trying to refinance them and "help". Stay away from any of the companies mentioned below. If SAMER KURAISHI OR RICH BALLES ARE INVOLVED, ITS A FRAUDULENT SCAM!!!!
The first company listed below is what really set me off. He is taking advantage of all of the people whom he put into bad loans and caused foreclosured and bankruptucy. Just a bad all around person who needs to go down and be put in jail.

sam and rich are one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. Whoever wrote this seems to be very jealous that these guys are still standing after such a bad 2008. Sam i hope you find out who is hiding behind the name, and do what you have to do to make sure he is brought to justice for such ridiculous accusations.

S. Kuraishi and R. Balles's response to false claims
AUTHOR: S. Kuraishi And R. Balles - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 20, 2009
First, Chris Jacobsen, the author of the allegations in the above report, is a fictitious name. Neither myself nor R. Balles know of this person, either as a client or an employee/contract agent.
Second, if Mr. Jacobsen had authored the truth, he or she - rather than email anonymously - would have reported the accusations to the police, filed a civil suit or even lodged a State of Maryland regulatory complaint.
Third, because the individual who authored the report did not seek any possible legal recourse against us, we are aware that his failures to prove the truth started from the very beginning. However, in not wanting to give up his crusade, he decided to post this incredulous report on this website. At best, this post represents the "opinion" of a person who has failed to amount to anything in life. If Mr. Jacobsen wished to show the world the truth of his "opinions," he would have proven them long ago. Instead, he has chosen to hide behind the "rip off report," under the mistaken belief that neither he nor the website can be sued, which is nothing short of idiotic. Anyone in the United States is subject to suit and, even the President. The First Amendment's protections are not absolute, and defamatory speech of this nature is not protected. These cowards can hide behind fictitious names and attempt to run from the consequences of their words, but the truth will shine through and they will be held accountable. Chris Jacobson + "Rip Off Report."
If anyone is concerned about the false post or would like to verify the accuracy of our response please feel free to contact myself or Mr. Balles at (((ROR redacted)))

Response to Baseless Article Inolving Black Taurus
AUTHOR: Black Taurus Group Llc - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, January 20, 2009
A posting was recently made on this site on January 17, 2009, authored by Chris, which mentioned Black Taurus Hedge Fund, to which the following is Black Taurus' response.
First of all, Black Taurus neither has worked with nor knows of anyone by the name of Chris. Black Taurus operates under very strict SEC guidelines which strictly prohibit it from accepting investments from any individuals with whom it does not have a pre-existing business or personal relationship, and thus Chris is clearly a fictitious name.
Secondly, if the author had any substantiated basis for his inflammatory remarks, he would have no reason to hide behind a fake name. Likewise, if the author had any basis for his comments about Black Taurus, his recourse would be in filing a civil complaint, contacting the police or filing a regulatory complaint with the SEC, and not in hiding behind a fictitious name and defaming a company about which he has no knowledge or prior dealings.
Thirdly, Black Taurus operates strictly by the book and is fully compliant with all regulatory agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission. Rest assured that Black Taurus will do everything in its power to learn the author's true identity and pursue civil remedies against that individual to the fullest extent of the law. Black Taurus is a legitimate company which prides itself on its service and professionalism, we don't know the individual who authored the false post (and more importantly he/she does not know us), and we encourage anyone concerned by the false post to do their own due diligence. For more information on Black Taurus, or to verify the accuracy of the statements contained herein, please email info@blacktaurus.net.
Lastly, it is a shame that Rip Off Report - which has the noble intentions of being a watchdog over the marketplace - has become a forum for individuals to hide behind fake names and make wholly baseless and defamatory statements about honest and lawful companies, simply because of their personal vendetta against one of the company's officers or employees. It goes to show that anyone who is investigating the merits of a company need conduct their due diligence on multiple fronts.
