ACCOUNTS 

Judge Lawrence K. Karlton 

On April 30, 2009, this Court filed the Order Appointing Temporary Receiver for Equity 

Investment Management and Trading, Inc. (“EIMT”) and Order to Show Cause for Appointment 

of Permanent Receiver (“OAR”) and on July 31, 2009, the Court filed an Order permanently 

appointing Receiver. Pursuant to the OAR, for good cause shown, and in order to empower and 

authorize the Receiver to carry out his duties and obligations, 

THE COURT HEREBY FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS: 

Receiver has been working diligently to locate and marshal assets of Defendant Equity

never be made available to Receiver. Receiver is still working to understand some of the “exotic” 

investments made by EIMT (many of which appear to be fraudulent). 

Receiver’s investigation has revealed that Defendant Anthony Vassallo used the following 

communication accounts (“Vassallo Accounts”) when he operated EIMT: 

• AT&T Phone Number: (916) 800-0008; 

• Skype Phone Number: (916) 896-3062, Identification “Anthony200012”; and 

• Yahoo E-Mail Account: anthony20012@yahoo.com 

Receiver believes that Vassallo used the Vassallo Accounts to communicate with potential and 

actual investors, to communicate with entities with which he invested EIMT funds, and to 

communicate with other third parties concerning EIMT. Receiver believes information from the 

Vassallo Accounts will facilitate his tracing and recovery of receivership assets, particularly the 

more “exotic” investments made by EIMT after it stopped trading at brokerage houses. 

To further assist Receiver’s effort to locate and marshal possible EIMT investor money 

and to trace investor funds, the Court directs AT&T, Skype and Yahoo each to provide 

information and documentation concerning the Vassallo Accounts which will assist Receiver to 

marshal assets and recover EIMT investor funds for the period of January 1, 2004 to March 10, 

2009 (the day before this action was filed), including, but not limited to account holder 

information, statements and invoices reflecting phone calls to and from such accounts, records 

reflecting the content of any telephone conferences for such accounts, and records reflecting emails received by and sent from such accounts. 

AT&T, Skype and Yahoo are each further directed to cooperate fully with Receiver in 

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
