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

which remains in full force and effect. 

Receiver’s investigation revealed the following: Mr. Ferentz transferred significant funds 

received from EIMT to four 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. 

This Court previously issued an order authorizing any and all banks and/or financial 

institutions to provide information and documentation for accounts held by those entities (Doc. 

No. 219) which remains in full force and effect. 

Receiver’s investigation has recently revealed the following additional information: on 

January 4, 2008, $371,887.50 was transferred from the Wells Fargo Bank Account of J.D. 

Centuries LLC to The Heritage Escrow Company. To further assist Receiver’s investigation in 

tracing the EIMT funds transferred to Jeff Dennis Ferentz and/or Jeff Dennis Ferentz, Inc., the 

Court directs The Heritage Escrow Company to provide information and documentation 

concerning the January 4, 2008 wire from JD Centuries LLC for $371,887.50, including but not 

limited to its escrow file, statements and other documentation and/or information concerning any 

transaction related to that wire transfer, receipts by, disbursements from, and transfers to/from 

any and all Heritage Escrow Company escrow account(s) related to that transfer, escrow account 

number(s), account holder identification and details of any related transactions. 

The Heritage Escrow Company is further directed to cooperate fully with Receiver in 

Receiver’s activities, investigation and inquiries on behalf of this Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
