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 controlled by Mr. Ferentz, including “Nevada 

Securities Arbitration” (Doc. Nos. 149 and 219 ), which remain in full force and effect. 

Of the $2,000,000 in investor funds transferred by EIMT to Ferentz, $100,000 was 

transferred to “Nevada Securities Arbitration Services, Inc.” on November 13, 2007 “for 

Vassallo.” The same day, check No. 2283 was made payable from that entity to Wells Fargo 

Bank in the amount of $76,552.79 with the “for” notation of “Land Rover Newport Beach.” 

On April 27, 2010, this Court issued an order directing Land Rover of Newport Beach to 

provide documents and information concerning the $76,552.79 transferred to it, including 

information about any vehicle purchased, which remains in full force and effect. (Doc. 269) 

On or before November 13, 2007, Jeff Ferentz purchased a Land Rover RR Sport SC, for 

$81,552.79, with $5,000.00 paid via an American Express credit card in the name of Jeff Ferentz 

and the remaining balance of $76,552.79 paid via Wells Fargo cashier’s check from EIMT 

investor funds deposited into the account of “Nevada Securities Arbitration Services, Inc.” The 

Land Rover is currently registered with the State of Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles in the 

name of Concettina M. Ferentz. Receiver believes Ms. Ferentz is Jeff Ferentz’s widow.

Using this information, Receiver discovered that in November 2008, Ms. Ferentz 

purchased a piece of real property located at 2845 Loveland Drive, #3616 in Las Vegas, Nevada 

(“Loveland Drive Property”). Escrow for the property was handled by Ticor Title Las Vegas. 

The identifying file number for the escrow was #08039267-DA. Receiver suspects that this piece 

of real property may have been purchased with EIMT investor funds received by Ferentz. 

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 Ticor Title Las Vegas to 

provide information and documentation concerning Ms. Ferentz’s November 2008 purchase of 

the Loveland Drive Property, identified as #08039267-DA, including but not limited to its escrow 

file, statements and other documentation and information concerning any transaction related to 

that identifying number, the source of the funds used to purchase the Loveland Drive Property,
