believes that EIMT money was comingled with VIP money and was used to redeem investments 

made by VIP investors. Receiver’s investigation has determined that in excess of $18 million 

was contributed to EIMT by VIP. In return, VIP, its principals and/or SIG/VIP investors 

received in excess of $29 million, representing at least $11 million in phony profits. Receiver is 

endeavoring to track the investor money transferred to/from EIMT to/from VIP in order to 

recover these EIMT investor funds. 

Receiver’s investigation has further revealed that on July 20, 2006, VIP wired 

$1,070,000.00 from Wells Fargo Bank Account No. XXX-XXX3414 to a Zions First National 

Bank account held in the name of Premier Title Company. On July 21, 2006, July 24, 2006 and 

July 28, 2006, VIP wired three separate payments of $261,896.58 each, from the same Wells 

Fargo Bank account to a Zions First National Bank account held in the name of GT Title. On 

September 28, 2006, VIP wired $370,000.00 to a Central Bank account held in the name of Atlas 

Title. Finally, on January 26, 2007, VIP wired $50,000.00 to a First American Trust account 

held in the name of First American Title. 

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

the Court directs Premier Title Company, GT Title Services, Atlas Title and First American Title 

to provide information and documentation to Receiver concerning the above-detailed wires from 

VIP, including, but not limited to any escrow file(s), statements and/or other documentation and 

information concerning any transaction related to the relevant wire transfer(s), receipts by, 

disbursements from, and transfers to/from any and all account(s) related to the relevant 

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

Premier Title Company, GT Title Services, Atlas Title and First American Title are 

further directed to cooperate fully with Receiver in Receiver’s activities, investigation and 

inquiries on behalf of this Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
