Investigations into alleged deceptive land-sale practices
Several northeastern states investigated Patten Corporation's marketing and land-sales practices, including allegations involving the presentation of lease details. The company denied wrongdoing but settled with New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire. The settlements provided refunds for consumers who could demonstrate that they had been deceived.
