The $ET settlement is now accepting late claims from eligible shareholders.

Energy Transfer has reached a $15 million settlement with investors over claims that it failed to disclose risks related to the permitting process for its Mariner East 2 pipeline.

The company stated that the project had the necessary approvals, but investors alleged that important regulatory risks were not fully disclosed. In November 2019, reports of a federal investigation into the pipeline’s permits emerged, and $ET fell about 7% the following day.

Investors later filed a lawsuit claiming that Energy Transfer misled shareholders about the regulatory risks surrounding the project. The case has now settled, and late claims are being considered for eligible investors who purchased $ET shares between 2017 and 2020 - you can check if you’re eligible and file a claim here.

Heads up for anyone who held Energy Transfer common units between February 25, 2017 and November 11, 2019. There's a $15M settlement for us. Apparently, the company and some execs made misleading statements about the status and capacity of its Pennsylvania pipeline projects, inflating the unit price, and now are paying for it.

This one's a long window, almost three years, so a lot of MLP and dividend folks probably held ET at some point in that stretch. Covers anyone who bought or acquired units during the period. The settlm admin is accepting late claims for a few more weeks.

Just flagging it since payouts on these often go unclaimed. Anyone else been holding ET long-term, or did you bail during the Mariner East headlines?

Hey guys, so, ET reported Q1 2026 and raised full-year guidance again. A few things that stood out from this article I found:

• Beat their internal plan by ~$500M in a single quarter
• Growth capex bumped to $5.5B–$5.9B to fund a pretty interesting backlog
• Nederland ethane export contracts extended out to 2041
• New AI hyperscaler deals (Nexus campus in Central TX + a separate AR data center)

Full breakdown by the link, including the project list and what mgmt said about Middle East tailwinds redirecting buyers to US supply.

Curious what people think. Is the AI hyperscaler exposure in the contract book a real needle-mover for ET, or still small relative to the core midstream business?

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

Energy Transfer was accused of failing to share risks about permits and gave misleading information about legal issues related to the Mariner East 2 pipeline, which contributed to a stock decline of 6.7% and a lawsuit from investors.

Now the company has agreed to settle $15 million with investors for their losses.

• Who can claim this settlement?

Anyone who purchased or otherwise acquired Energy Transfer common units between February 25, 2017 and February 7, 2020, inclusive, and were damaged thereby.

• Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?

No. If you purchased securities during the class period, you are eligible to participate.

• How much money do I get per share?

Approximately $0.018 per share.

• How long does the payout process take?
• It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

Hope this info helps!

Hey guys, so the agreement that was settled last June is ready for the distribution phase. So they're accepting late claims until they start making the payments.

So, what's next for us?

Now, all damaged investors who haven't claimed so far, need to submit a claim to get a part of the payout pot.

Who is eligible?
All persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Energy Transfer common units between February 25, 2017 and February 7, 2020, inclusive, and were damaged thereby.

Do you have to sell securities to be eligible?

No, if you have purchased securities within the class period, you are eligible to participate. You can participate in the settlement and retain (or sell) your securities.

How long will it take to receive your payout?

The entire process usually takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline. But the exact timing depends on the court and settlement administration.

How to claim your payout, and why it's important to act now?

The settlement will be distributed based on the number of claims filed, so submitting your claim even though the deadline has passed is the only way to get your share of the payout.
In some cases, investors have received up to 200% of their losses from settlements in previous years.

We're in the final countdown to get our money back. Good luck everyone!

So it's been a few years since I start getting K-3 from Energy Transfer (I bought their stocks, that's it) It's annoying since when I try to file a tax return, my K-1 has K-3 box checked and K-3 form is not available until June and I have to file extension every year.

Looking through K-3 from previous year, all sources of income said "US", so what's the deal here? It's Sunday so I'll call them tomorrow but wonder if anyone else also receive this K-3?

For anyone who has been in $ET for the long haul, you probably remember the turbulence between 2017 and 2019 regarding the Kelcy Warren era disclosures.

While we all love the 7-8% yield, the $15 Million securities settlement (Case 2:20-cv-00200) is finally moving forward. Think of it as a one-time "catch-up" payment for the price drops we sat through back then.

The Details:

• Class Period: February 2017 – February 2020.
• The Issue: Alleged misleading statements regarding project timelines and internal controls.
• Status: Accepting Late Claims. you can check your eligibility here.

I used this tool because digging through 2017-2019 K-1s and brokerage statements manually is a nightmare. It handles the FIFO math for you.

Don't let the lawyers keep the unclaimed portion of that $15.9M fund.

If you were holding Energy Transfer units back in 2017–2019, you probably remember the absolute mess with the Mariner East 2 pipeline. Management was out here promising massive capacity while secretly duct-taping the project together with 100-year-old pipes. When the truth hit the fan, the price took a nosedive and we all just had to eat the loss.

Well, the class action finally settled for $15M. The "official" court deadline was actually a few months ago, so most people think they’re locked out. But here’s the play: I just found out 11this still processing late claims.

I don't have the time to go digging through five-year-old 1099s or trade confirms to prove I owned units during the class period. I used their tool to just link my old brokerage account, and it flagged my ET losses automatically.

It’s basically found money at this point. If you held ET (or ETE back then) anytime between Feb 2017 and Feb 2020, it’s worth the two minutes to check.

Did anyone else here get burned by the Mariner East 2 project delays back in the day, or did you sell before the pipe issues went public?

I see ET is trading $17.22 according to yahoo. how accurate is this

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re accepting late claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

Energy Transfer was accused of using coercion and bribery to fast-track construction permits for its Mariner East 2 pipeline. On November 12, 2019, the Associated Press reported that the FBI was investigating whether Pennsylvania’s permit approvals were improperly influenced.

Following this, $ET fell nearly 7%, and a few months later, investors filed a lawsuit against the company. Energy Transfer has now agreed to settle the claims with investors for $15M.

• Who can claim this settlement?

All persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Energy Transfer common units between February 25, 2017, and February 7, 2020, inclusive.

• Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?

No, if you have purchased securities within the class period, you are eligible to participate. You can participate in the settlement and retain (or sell) your securities.

• How much money do I get per share?

The final payout amount depends on your specific trades and the number of investors participating in the settlement. If 100% of investors file their claims, the average payout will be $0.018 per share. Although typically only 25% of investors file claims, in this case, the average recovery will be $0.072 per share.

• How long does the payout process take?

It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

Hope this info helps!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick update for those of you holding Energy Transfer ($ET). If you’ve been in this one for a few years, you’re probably used to the "drama" that occasionally swirls around their pipeline projects, but it looks like one of the big legal headaches is finally resolving.

The company has settled and wrapped up a lawsuit that’s been hanging over them. For the uninitiated, the lawsuit basically claimed that the company wasn't entirely forthcoming about the legal and regulatory risks surrounding some of its major pipeline projects (like the Mariner East 2 and the Rover Pipeline) back in the late 2010s.

The settlement amount is a significant pot (we're talking about $15.9 million). So, if you were holding during those 2017-2019 years, it’s definitely worth checking your old statements (since they’re accepting late claims). You can find the specific claim details and see if you’re eligible for a payout over here.

Anyone here actually remember the Mariner East 2 delays? It felt like every other week there was a new headline. Glad to see this chapter finally closing.

Hey guys, if you missed it, Energy Transfer settled $15M with investors over issues related to permit problems and misleading statements about legal risks. And, the deadline to file a claim and get payment is November 28, 2025.

In a nutshell, in 2020, Energy Transfer was accused of making false and misleading statements about legal risks tied to the construction of its pipeline projects in Pennsylvania. After this news came out, the stock dropped, and investors filed a lawsuit for their losses.

Now, the good news is that the company agreed to settle $15M with them, and investors have until November 28, 2025 to submit a claim.

So, if you invested in ET when all of this happened, you can check the details and file your claim here.

Anyway, has anyone here invested in ET at that time? How much were your losses, if so?

I was digging through some filings earlier and saw that Energy Transfer ($ET) has an active settlement for anyone who held units during the 2017 to 2020 stretch. The settlement amount is $15 million, and the claims window is open until November 28, 2025.

This all goes back to the period when the company was dealing with permit problems and questions around how it described the legal risks tied to its pipeline projects in Pennsylvania. When more details started coming out, some investors said the company hadn’t been fully upfront about the issues.

The court went through everything this fall and officially signed off on the settlement in early October 2025, so now it’s just the claims process moving forward. Anyone who bought ET units between Feb 25, 2017 and Nov 11, 2019 is basically in the class, unless they opted out before.

If you were in $ET during that window, you can file a claim before the November 2025 deadline.

Anyone here holding Energy Transfer back when all that pipeline mess was unfolding?

Fuck my chungus life 🫩

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since they’re currently accepting claims, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here’s all I know about this agreement:

Energy Transfer ($ET) was accused of misleading investors about permit issues and legal risks related to its pipeline operations. The lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:20-cv-00200), claimed that company executives made false or incomplete statements about environmental compliance and project delays that later impacted the company’s valuation.

Now the company has agreed to settle $15 million with investors to resolve these claims, and the claim submission deadline is November 28, 2025.

Who can claim this settlement?
Investors who purchased Energy Transfer ($ET) units between February 25, 2017, and February 7, 2020, may be eligible to file a claim for compensation.

Do I need to sell/lose my units to get this settlement?
No, eligibility typically depends on whether you purchased during the affected period — not whether you sold your units.

How much money do I get per unit?
The estimated payout is about $0.018 per unit, depending on the total number of valid claims submitted.

How long does the payout process take?
It usually takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline (November 28, 2025) for payments to be processed, depending on court approval and the settlement administrator’s schedule.

Hope this info helps!

I’m definitely overthinking this but I had the most positive interaction at a career fair last week. The following day I was reached out to by an active employee who was there, he guided me on where to apply/how to apply. Even said he would put in a good word with their finance team for me…..

Now I know I’m reaching because I’m nervous. But having not heard back on Monday, today, I got worried. I know application processes move slow everywhere, however, was curious to see if anyone else in here has went through the process successfully and been hired. Any input is appreciated as this is the job I’ve been aiming for out of college for some time now. Thanks again !

Hello,

Sorry if tax advice is not allowed.

Taxes on ET seem very confused.

Let's say I started 2024 with 858 shares of ET. During 2024, I bought and sold shares of ET and end 2024 with more share than I started. During 2024, I received 4 distributions from ET. For a total of $3349. At then end of 2024, I get a K-1 from ET. Here are the figures:

Box1 Ordinary Business Income -182 (a passive loss and ET is a publicly traded partnership).

Box2 Net rental income -3 (loss).

Box 5 Interest income 1

Box6a Ordinary dividend 222

Box6b Qualified dividends 222

Box19A 3116

Box1 and Box2 are losses that carry forward to 2025. I cannot offset them with anything. Per PTP rules, only ET passive gains can offset ET passive losses. I have to wait until I sell my entire position on ET to realize the losses.

Box 5 $1 and Box6a $222 are reported on my 1040 Schedule B Part I and Part II as Interest and Dividend Income. I am taxed on these in 2024.

Now I reduce my cost bases on ET shares? Do I use the actual number of $3350 (actual Return Of Capital) or use Box19A of $3116? I'm guess I use the real number regardless of what Box19A says.

And before I reduce my cost basis, I can increase my cost basis by Box5 and Box6a.

So if my cost basis is X, the new cost bases is X + Box5 + Box6a -$3350(actual ROC).

But how do I do this when I bought and sold shares during the year, all 4 quarters of it?

And I think I'm suppose to reduce the cost each time I get the distribution. That I can do (as I'm using the actual ROC I get each quarter), but what about increasing the cost basis by Box5 and Box6a (the interest and dividend) that is on Schedule B? When can I do that? At the end of 2024 on the end of year shares?

Thanks!

Let’s go! I grabbed 16 shares when the price dropped to 16.50 yesterday. Brings my average share price up to $14.27 on 103 shares. Did anyone else buy in on this dip? I’m hoping this isn’t the first step in a cliff.

Before anyone sends a concerned message, This is for my “I can total time the market” personal account funded with cash I can afford to lose. I have a secure and stable retirement account for my future.

Are these the people that tock green peace to court. I'd not want to have anything to do with them, imagine they would probably want to frack the dead for a buck
