Plaintiff

ANTHONY VASSALLO, et al, 

Defendants. 

Case No. CV 09-000665 LKK-DAD

ORDER DIRECTING BANKS AND/OR 

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO 

PRODUCE DOCUMENTS 

CONCERNING EIMT FUNDS 

TRANSFERRED TO MARTIN PORTER 

Judge Lawrence K. Karlton

On April 30, 2009, this Court filed the Order Appointing Temporary Receiver for Equity 

Investment Management and Trading, Inc. (“EIMT”) and Order to Show Cause for Appointment 

of Permanent Receiver (“OAR”) and on July 31, 2009, the Court filed an Order permanently 

appointing Receiver. Pursuant to the OAR, for good cause shown, and in order to empower and 

authorize the Receiver to carry out his duties and obligations, 

THE COURT HEREBY FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: 

 On December 11, 2007, Defendant Anthony Vassallo (“Vassallo”) wired $425,000 of 

investor funds from Wells Fargo Bank Account Number XXXXXX6681 held in the name of 

EIMT (“EIMT Account”) to Wachovia Bank Account Number XXXXXXXXX0964 held in the 

name of Martin W. Porter (“Porter Wachovia Account”). The $425,000 was wired to Martin W. 

Porter in connection with the alleged lease of a $100,000,000 UBS Certificate of Deposit.

MAIER LLP

Receiver located a signed “Agreement for Obtaining a Certificate of Deposit” entered into 

between Martin W. Porter and Vassallo on behalf of EIMT (“Agreement”), but upon contacting 

UBS, Receiver was informed that the Certificate of Deposit detailed in the Agreement is 

fraudulent, of no value and of no financial benefit to EIMT. 

 On April 15, 2008, Vassallo wired another $750,000 of investor funds from the EIMT 

Account to a Bank Atlantic account held in the name of Martin W. Porter (“Porter Bank Atlantic 

Account”). Receiver has been unable to discern any legitimate business reason for the second 

transaction which also did not financially benefit EIMT. 

 To facilitate Receiver’s investigation in tracing the disposition of EIMT investor funds to 

Martin W. Porter, any and all banks and/or financial institutions, including, but not limited to 

Wachovia Bank, Wells Fargo Bank and Bank Atlantic, are direct to provide information and 

documentation to Receiver tracing where the $425,000 withdrawn from the EIMT Account on 

December 11, 2007, went, including after its deposit into the Porter Wachovia Account and also 

tracing where the $750,000 withdrawn from the EIMT Account on April 15, 2008, went, 

including after its deposit into the Porter Bank Atlantic Account, including, but not limited to all 

bank statements and other documentation reflecting receipts by, disbursements from, and 

transfers to/from such account(s), account number(s) and account holder identification. 

Any and all banks and/or financial institutions, including, but not limited to Wachovia 

Bank, Wells Fargo Bank and Bank Atlantic are hereby further directed to cooperate fully with 

Receiver in his investigation and inquiries on behalf of this Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: November 4, 2010
