Securities fraud lawsuits against the sponsors of investment partnerships syndicated by Integrated Resources Inc. have been dismissed. Integrated-affiliated entities acted as general partners and sponsored more than 3,000 limited partnerships. Some investors sued the sponsors, alleging that the partnerships promised tax breaks and substantial profits. Instead, Integrated filed for bankruptcy protection in 1990. Federal Judge Robert Sweet ruled Friday, though, that the partnerships required investors to be sophisticated, and that they couldn't claim to be misled because Integrated Resources' problems were well publicized.
