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”). 

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, 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 26, 2009, David R. Damante 

transferred $220,000 to Pineridge Capital Holdings, LLC. On January 28, 2009, Pineridge Capital 

Holdings, LLC transferred $216,000 to Nate & Andy’s for the purchase of a 2008 Land Rover VIN 

SALSH23408A120651 valued at $52,109.84 (“Land Rover”) and a 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo VIN 

ZHWG22T98LA07541 (“Lamborghini”). Both vehicles were registered to Changing the Planet, 

LLC. On May 6, 2009, the Damantes traded in or sold the Lamborghini to Fletcher Jones Imports. 

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

funds, the Court hereby directs Fletcher Jones Imports to provide information and documentation 

concerning the May 6, 2009 trade-in and/or sale of the Lamborghini. Fletcher Jones is hereby 

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

requested information. 

Fletcher Jones is hereby further directed to cooperate fully with Receiver in his 

investigation and inquiries on behalf of this Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
