Judge Lawrence K. Karlton

“Ferentz Account”). The unsigned joint venture agreement located by Receiver for this 

investment lists the parties as Defendant Anthony Vassallo as the investor and Jon Fragosa, Jeff 

Dennis Ferentz, and Charles Jarvis (aka “Charlie” Jarvis) as the “Facilitator”. 

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 to entities including “JD Centuries, LLC” and “USR 

Site Acquisition, LLC” (Doc. Nos. 149 and 219), which remain in full force and effect. 

Receiver has determined that $800,000 from the Ferentz Account was transferred to a 

Wells Fargo business money market account in the name of “JD Centuries, LLC - Contractor Sub 

Account” on November 7, 2007. In addition to Mr. Ferentz, William Wheeler is a signatory and 

“Owner/Key Individual” for that account. Money removed from that account was paid to Mr. 

Wheeler. Mr. Jarvis is a managing member of JD Centuries, LLC along with Mr. Ferentz. 

Receiver has also determined that another $700,000 was transferred from the Ferentz 

Account to a Wells Fargo savings account in the name of “USR Site Acquisition, LLC” on 

November 26, 2007. In addition to Mr. Ferentz, Mr. Jarvis is a signatory and “Owner/Key 

Individual” on the USR Site Acquisition, LLC account. Mr. Jarvis was a managing member of 

USR Site Acquisition, LLC along with Mr. Ferentz. Mr. Jarvis was also named as a “Faciliator” 

in the unsigned transaction document concerning EIMT’s investment which resulted in the 

transfer of $2 million of EIMT funds to the Ferentz Account. 

Receiver believes that Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Jarvis are in possession of information and 

documents that will assist him to understand the various entities receiving funds from the Ferentz 

Account and which will permit him to trace EIMT funds transferred from the Ferentz Account to 

other accounts related to Mr. Ferentz and Mr. Jarvis. 

To further assist Receiver’s investigation in tracing the EIMT funds transferred to Ferentz, 

the Court directs Charles Jarvis aka “Charlie” Jarvis and William Wheeler each to provide 

information and documents to assist Receiver to marshal EIMT assets, and to trace and recover 

the $2 million EIMT transferred to the Ferentz Account. 

Charles Jarvis aka “Charlie” Jarvis and William Wheeler are further directed to cooperate
