The Court hereby: 

1) Approves and ratifies Receiver’s settlement with Gregory E. Porter who invested 

funds which he permitted defendant Anthony Vassallo to trade at TradeStation on his behalf. 

Through the proposed settlement, Mr. Porter has agreed to repay to the receivership the 

$37,724.89 in phony profit that he received from EIMT in exchange for a full release of claims; 

and 

2) Authorizes Receiver to retain Michael E. Miller, owner and broker at Hacienda 

Properties and a title and escrow expert, at $175 an hour to review escrow files related to 

properties purchased by Jarom Dastrup and Jaren Ahlmann, who along with Anthony Vassallo, 

are fund managers for Vastmann Investment Partners LLC, which received over $10 million in 

excess distributions from EIMT. Mr. Miller shall be authorized to review escrow files on behalf 

of the receivership and to provide any other real estate related services Receiver believes will be 

appropriate and of benefit to the receivership estate. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 9, 2011.
