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” (the 

“Land Rover Check”). The Court issued an order on April 15, 2010 (Doc. No. 251) directing the 

recipient of the Land Rover Check to provide information concerning the disposition of that 

check, including information concerning the purchase of any vehicle with that check (the “April 

15, 2010 Order”). The April 15, 2010 Order remains in full force and effect. 

Receiver’s investigation has determined that the Land Rover Check was received by Wells 

Fargo Bank, which in turn issued a cashier’s check in the amount of $76,552.79 made payable to 

Land Rover of Newport Beach dated November 13, 2007 (the “Cashier’s Check”). Receiver 

continues to wish to receive information about the ultimate disposition of the $76,552.79, 

including information about the purchase of any vehicle. In addition, Receiver is concerned that 

any vehicle purchased with the Cashier’s Check could be transferred or secreted if Land Rover of 

Newport Beach notifies the purchaser of the vehicle of this Court order in advance of him 

receiving information about any vehicle purchased and the identity of its owner and for ten (10) 

days thereafter. 

For good cause shown, the Court hereby directs Land Rover of Newport Beach to 

provide Receiver with information about the disposition of the Cashier’s Check, including but not 

limited to producing documents and information concerning any vehicle purchased with the 

Cashier’s 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 Court hereby further prohibits Land Rover of Newport Beach from notifying the 

purchaser of any vehicle purchased with the Cashier’s Check about the existence of this order 

and/or its compliance with it until it has supplied Receiver with the responsive information and for 

ten (10) days thereafter. 

Land Rover of Newport Beach is hereby further directed to cooperate fully with Receiver 

in his investigation into the disposition of the Cashier’s Check. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
