Bankruptcy trust recovers $5M from Epic Companies, but $11.9M in loans are unlikely to be repaid.
A bankruptcy trust overseeing the liquidation of defunct West Fargo developer Epic Companies released a report detailing ongoing efforts to recover funds from a collapsed real estate empire.
The trust, managed by Lighthouse Management Group Inc., has recovered over $5 million from settled claims and judgments totaling $22.8 million, while pursuing additional claims.
However, the report notes that 13 companies, which received $11.9 million in loans, are unlikely to repay due to property values falling below debt amounts.
The investigation reveals that the company’s financing relied on sub-debt funds created around 2019 that pooled unsecured investor loans without maintaining cash reserves, a structure that left investors vulnerable when projects failed.
The bankruptcy is among the largest in North Dakota history, and many investors face significant losses due to defaulted loans and potential liability under guaranty agreements.
