transfer of these funds from EIMT to the Damantes. Receiver’s investigation has revealed that 

after the Damantes received $100,000 from EIMT, they purchased at least two expensive 

automobiles, including, but not limited to a Range Rover and a Lamborghini, from Nate & 

Andy’s Quality Auto Sales in Logan, Utah (“Nate & Andy’s”). Receiver would like to 

determine if EIMT investor funds were utilized to purchase any expensive automobiles for the 

Damantes. 

 On June 2, 2010, this Court issued an order directing Nate & Andy’s to produce 

documentation and information concerning the purchase of any vehicle from Nate & Andy’s by 

the Damantes on or after December 1, 2008, including but not limited to vehicle purchase 

information, any sales contract(s), vehicle registration and proof and form of payment so 

Receiver could determine the source of funds used to purchase the automobiles, which remains 

in full force and effect. (Doc. No. 298). Through this order, Receiver has obtained significant 

information permitting him to further trace the disposition of EIMT investor funds transferred to 

the Damantes. Receiver’s investigation has revealed that on January 28, 2009, the Damantes 

transferred $216,000 from an entity called Pineridge Capital Holdings to the Lewiston State 

Bank located in Utah. The Damantes used this $216,000 to purchase the Lamborghini and 

Range Rover automobiles from Nate &Andy’s. 

 To further assist Receiver’s investigation in tracing the disposition of EIMT investor 

funds, the Court hereby directs the Lewiston State Bank to provide information and 

documentation concerning the January 28, 2009 wire transfer of $216,000, including, but not 

limited to the Wire Detail Report, the name of the originating bank, account holder information 

of the originator and any wire transfer instructions. Lewiston State Bank is hereby prohibited 

from notifying the Damantes of this order prior to providing Receiver with the requested 

information and is further directed to cooperate fully with Receiver in his investigation and 

inquiries on behalf of this Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
