MAIER LLP

This Court previously issued orders authorizing banks and financial institutions to assist 

Receiver in tracing the EIMT investor funds transferred to Ferentz including funds transferred 

from Jeffrey Dennis Ferentz, Inc. to entities controlled by Mr. Ferentz, including “Nevada 

Securities Arbitration” (Doc. Nos. 149 and 219 ), which remain in full force and effect. 

Of the $2,000,000 in investor funds transferred by EIMT to Ferentz, $100,000 was 

transferred to “Nevada Securities Arbitration Services, Inc.” on November 13, 2007 “for 

Vassallo.” The same day, check No. 2283 was made payable from that entity to Wells Fargo 

Bank in the amount of $76,552.79 with the “for” notation of “Land Rover Newport Beach.” 

Receiver would like to determine if EIMT investor funds were utilized to purchase a Land 

Rover vehicle or a vehicle from a Land Rover dealership on or about November 13, 2007, or 

otherwise determine the disposition of the $75,552.79 from check No. 2283 from the account of 

“Nevada Securities Arbitration Services, Inc.” (the “Land Rover Check”). 

The Court hereby directs the recipient of the Land Rover Check to provide Receiver with 

information about the disposition of that check, including but not limited to producing documents 

and information concerning any vehicle purchased with the Land Rover Check. Such 

documentation and information shall include but is not limited to: 

• Purchase information; 

• Sales contracts; 

• Vehicle Registration; and 

• Proof and form of payment. 

The recipient of the Land Rover Check is hereby further directed to cooperate fully with 

Receiver in his investigation into the disposition of that check. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: April 14, 2010
