First of all if you are the investor then you yourself have been defrauded to the invested amount. You yourself have a claim against the said company. Secondly your properties cannot be brought into the fold on account of the fact that you do not have any personal liability. On the fact that you are being threatened by customers you should intimate the same to the agency who is handling the case so that you have a base to stand on. You may be sued by the customers but it is up to the agency investigation to register a case against you, hence your first act should be to intimate the investigating agency of such threats.
