MAIER LLP

On November 7, 2007, and November 8, 2007, Defendant Anthony Vassallo transmitted a 

total of $2,000,000 of EIMT investor funds to Jeff Dennis Ferentz and/or Jeff Dennis Ferentz, 

Inc. (the “Ferentz Account”). These EIMT funds were transmitted to the Ferentz Account in 

connection with a “bank sanctioned high yield project funding program” through a joint venture 

between Defendant Vassallo on the one hand, and Jon Fragosa, Jeff Dennis Ferentz, and Charles 

Jarvis on the other. Jeff Dennis Ferentz was a California attorney, who died in or around June 

2008. 

Receiver’s investigation has revealed the following: EIMT investor funds were transferred 

from the Ferentz Account to several other accounts, including accounts in the names of Centuries 

Worldwide LLC, JD Centuries LLC, “Nevada Securities Arbitration”, and “USR Site 

Acquisition.” Nationwide Securities Arbitration, Inc. was a Nevada corporation for which Jeff 

Dennis Ferentz was President. USR Site Development, LLC was a Nevada limited liability 

corporation in which Jeff Dennis Ferentz and “Charlie” Jarvis were managing members. USR Site 

Acquisition Development, LLC was a Nevada limited liability corporation which listed Jeff 

Ferentz as its registered agent but never designated managing members. Receiver suspects but 

has not yet been able to confirm that the account in the name of “Nevada Securities Arbitration” 

is for the entity Nationwide Securities Arbitration, Inc. and the account in the name of “USR Site 

Acquisition” is for the entity called USR Site Development, LLC or USR Site Acquisition, LLC. 

Jeff Dennis Ferentz was the sole managing member of Centuries Worldwide, LLC, and he and 

Charlie Jarvis were the managing members of JD Centuries LLC. 

This court previously issued an order authorizing banks and financial institutions to assist 

Receiver in tracing the EIMT investor funds transferred to the Ferentz Account (Doc. No. 149), 

which remains in full force and effect. To further facilitate Receiver’s investigation in tracing 

those funds, the Court authorizes any and all banks and/or financial institutions, including, but not 

limited to Wells Fargo Bank, to provide information and documentation to Receiver for accounts 

held by Centuries Worldwide LLC, JD Centuries LLC, “Nevada Securities Arbitration,” and 

“USR Site Acquisition,” Nationwide Securities Arbitration, Inc., USR Site Acquisition, LLC,
