I, Ellen Chen, declare pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, as follows: 

1. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth below and, if called as a witness, I 

could and would competently testify to the facts stated herein. 

2. I am a Certified Public Accountant licensed by the State of California and a Certified 

Fraud Examiner. I am currently employed as an Accountant by the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”), Division of Enforcement, in the San Francisco Regional 

Office. I have been a practicing accountant for 12 years, with my work focusing on financial 

statement audits, forensic and investigative accounting, and litigation support. 

I. QUICKBOOKS ACCOUNTING RECORDS AND BANK ACCOUNT RECORDS

3. On or about April 26, 2016 and June 24, 2016, Marvin Tate, CPA, produced pursuant 

to a Commission subpoena, QuickBooks accounting records for entities including, California Gold 

Medal, L.P. (“CGM”), CallSocket LLC, CallSocket L.P., CallSocket II, L.P., CallSocket III, L.P., 

CallSocket III Holding Company, LLC, CallSocket Holding Company, LLC, Comprehensive Care of 

California, LLC, NA3PL, L.P., San Francisco Regional Center, LLC (“SFRC”), West Oakland Plaza, 

L.P. and Immedia, LLC (“Immedia”). 

4. The Commission also received, in response to subpoenas, voluminous bank account 

statements from September 2010 forward for the entities identified in paragraph 3, as well as those 

for Comprehensive Care of Oakland, L.P. (“CCOO L.P.”), North America 3PL, LLC, and Central 

California Farms, LLC. These three entities, and those identified in paragraph 3, are collectively 

referred to as “SFRC and its Related Entities”.

5. I relied on the produced set of QuickBooks accounting records and bank records to 

analyze the transactions described in this declaration. The QuickBooks accounting records I analyzed 

for SFRC and its Related Entities include transactions from November 2010 through June 2016. 

6. I verified to my satisfaction that the information contained in the Quickbooks 

accounting records was reliable and complete by cross referencing information from Quickbooks 

accounting records with information in SFRC and its Related Entities’ bank records. Because the 

Quickbooks accounting records appeared to be reliable and complete, I relied on the account

transactions in the QuickBooks accounting records in the many analyses and calculations contained 

in my declaration1. 

7. The factual summaries provided in my declaration are supported by both the 

information in the QuickBooks accounting records and bank records listed below in Table 1. The 

voluminous bank records include account statements, account opening documents, signature cards, 

wire transfers, deposit slips and copies of deposited items, withdrawal slips, cancelled checks, 

transfer slips, and electronic payment information for each account (collectively “bank records”). 

Table 1 lists for each account, the bank institution, an abbreviated account number reference, the time 

period covered and the authorized signatories. 

Table 1 

 

1 I relied only on bank records for the following entities and time periods to extend beyond the dates of the 

produced QuickBooks accounting records: West Oakland Plaza, L.P. (November 2015-November 2016), 

California Gold Medal, L.P. (September 2015-November 2016), Comprehensive Care of Oakland, L.P.

(September 2010- April 2015), and Central California Farms, LLC (March 2015-May 2016).

II. A NET OF 215 INVESTORS CONTRIBUTED APPROXIMATELY $107,300,000 

IN CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO EB-5 ENTITIES

8. According to QuickBooks accounting records and bank records, from March 20112

through November 20163, I calculated a net of 215 investors contributing approximately 

$107,300,000 in capital contributions to the Limited Partnerships identified below in Table 2. The 

negative value for SFRC in Table 2 reflects a return of unidentified investors’ capital contributions 

from SFRC’s bank accounts. The most recent capital contribution deposits occurred in October and 

November 2016 and came from three investors’ deposits into California Gold Medal, L.P.’s account. 

Based on the available records, I calculated and traced to QuickBooks accounting records and bank 

records, approximately $8,890,000 in total syndication fees collected from investors, ranging from 

$40,000 to $60,000 per investor. In addition, it appeared that some syndication fees were for 

unknown reasons never paid and are excluded from the $8,800,000 collected. Investor money was 

transferred between all of the entities listed in Table 2, and it appeared that the transfers often had no 

benefit to the original investor. 

Table 2 

 

2 The first deposits of investor funds I found were for Comprehensive Care of Oakland, L.P. in March 2011. 

3 California Gold Medal, L.P. continued to receive investor money through at least November 2016 based on 

produced bank records.

A. CallSocket III, L.P. Transferred a Net of Approximately $19,000,000 to SFRC and

9. Table 3 below represents a summary of my review and categorization for the 

CallSocket III, L.P. accounts from March 31, 20134 through March 31, 2016. During this period of 

time, a net of approximately $21,160,000 of investor money was raised by CallSocket III, L.P.

(approximately $19,500,000 in capital contributions and $1,660,000 in syndication fees). However, 

as indicated in Table 3, nearly all of the investor money was transferred from CallSocket III, L.P. to 

accounts for other entities. Also indicated in Table 3, a net of approximately $19,000,000, including 

approximately $16,485,0005 in capital contributions, (excluding potential syndication fees) was 

transferred to SFRC and Immedia and not returned to the account of CallSocket III, L.P. 

Table 3 

B. NA3PL, L.P. Transferred a Net of Approximately $18,833,000 to SFRC and 

Immedia

10. Table 4 below represents a summary of my review and categorization for the NA3PL, 

L.P. bank account from March 31, 20146 through March 31, 2016 based on QuickBooks accounting 

records and bank records. A net of approximately $22,030,000 of investor money was raised by 

 

4 From March 31, 2013 to November 19, 2013 (the starting date range for Table 8), bank account activity

included $50 in bank fees and a $5,000 transfer in from SFRC’s account. 

5 The approximately $16,485,000 sourced from investor capital contributions (excluding potential syndication 

fees) was calculated as the net transferred to SFRC and Immedia of $19,000,000, less $1,650,000 of potential

syndication fees, less a net $865,000 of I.Magnin sale proceeds less remaining proceeds transferred out. 

6 From March 31, 2014 to May 27, 2014 (starting date range in Table 8), NA3PL, L.P.’s account (NA3PLLPEWB-6927) activity included a $15,000 transfer in from SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213) and $14,900 net 

transfer out to North America 3PL, LLC’s account (NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351). From April 1, 2016 to June 17, 

2016 (ending date range in Table 8), activity included a $100,000 transfer to Immedia’s account (ImmediaEWB-5523) from NA3PL, LP’s account.

NA3PL, L.P. (approximately $20,000,000 in capital contributions and $2,030,0007 in syndication 

fees). However, as indicated by Table 4 below, a majority of that money was transferred to accounts 

for other entities. From March 31, 2014 through March 31, 2016, approximately $18,200,000 was 

transferred from NA3PL, L.P. to North America 3PL, LLC, and $17,397,000 of this amount was 

transferred to SFRC and Immedia. As indicated by Table 4 below, from March 31, 2014 through 

March 31, 2016, another $1,436,000 net was transferred directly from NA3PL, L.P. to SFRC and 

Immedia. 

Thus, adding in amounts transferred through North America 3PL, LLC, from March 31, 2014 

through March 31, 2016, a net of $18,833,000 was transferred from NA3PL, L.P. to SFRC and 

Immedia. Approximately $16,800,0008 of this amount was sourced from investor capital 

contributions (excluding potential syndication fees). 

Table 4 

From March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2016, approximately $1,437,5009 was transferred from 

SFRC and Immedia to North America 3PL, LLC. 

 

7 A total of $120,000 in syndication fees appeared to be from NA3PL, L.P. investors but was deposited 

directly into SFRC’s account as opposed to NA3PL, L.P’s. As a result, I excluded these syndication fees from 

Table 4. However, this $120,000 is included in the $2,030,000 total syndication figure in Tables 2 and 10. 

8 The $16,800,000 sourced from investor capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees) was

calculated as the net total transferred from NA3PL, L.P. to North America 3PL, LLC, SFRC and Immedia of 

$18,833,000 less $2,030,000 of potential syndication fees. 

9 From March 31, 2014 to May 28, 2014 (the starting date range for Table 8), North America 3PL, LLC’s bank 

account activity included $76,000 of transfers to SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213) and $42,000 of transfers 

from SFRC’s account. From March 31, 2016 to June 17, 2016 (ending date range in Table 8), activity

Thus, from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2016, net of approximately $17,395,000 was 

transferred from NA3PL, L.P. and North America PL, LLC to SFRC and Immedia that did not come 

back to the accounts for NA3PL, L.P. and North America 3PL, LLC. 

Furthermore, even assuming the entire amount of $1,380,500 transferred back was capital 

contributions, taking the $16,800,000 in investor capital contributions transferred from NA3PL, L.P. 

to SFRC or Immedia above and further deducting the $1,437,500 North America 3PL, LLC received 

back from SFRC or Immedia, a net of at least $15,362,500 from both NA3PL, L.P. and North 

America 3PL, LLC to SFRC or Immedia was sourced from investor capital contributions (excluding 

potential syndication fees). 

C. West Oakland Plaza, L.P. Transferred a Net of Approximately $1,030,500 to North 

America 3PL, LLC and Immedia

11. Table 5 below represents a summary of my review and categorization for the West 

Oakland Plaza, L.P. accounts from September 10, 201510 through November 30, 2016. 

Approximately $2,210,000 of investor money was raised by West Oakland Plaza, L.P. ($2,000,000 in 

capital contributions and $210,000 in syndication fees).11 However, a majority of that money was

transferred to other business entities. Approximately $786,000 was disbursed to North America 3PL, 

LLC (from April 2016 to August 2016), and a net of $244,500 was transferred to Immedia. 

Approximately $820,00012 of the net $1,030,500 transferred to North America 3PL, LLC and

Immedia was sourced from investor capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees). 

 

included $543,500 of transfers to Immedia’s account (Immedia-EWB-5523). $1,437,500 is calculated by 

taking the total transfers of $1,395,500 from SFRC and Immedia’s accounts from May 28, 2014 to June 17, 

2016 (Table 8), plus $42,000 of transfers from SFRC’s account prior to May 28, 2014 excluded from Table 8.

10 From September 10, 2015 to November 3, 2015 (starting date range in Table 8), bank account activity 

included $1,500 of transfers in from SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213) and a $1,000 transfer in from JL 

Gateway, LLC.

11 Syndication fees of approximately $150,000 were traced to West Oakland Plaza, L.P. bank records, while 

another $60,000 was received by SFRC and excluded from Table 8. However, this $60,000 is included and 

accounted for in the $210,000 total syndication figure in Tables 2 and 10. 

12 The approximately $820,000 sourced from investor capital contributions (excluding potential syndication 

fees) was calculated as the net total transferred to North America 3PL, LLC and Immedia of $1,030,500 less 

$210,000 of potential syndication fees.

12. Table 6 below represents a summary of my review and categorization for the 

California Gold Medal, L.P. accounts from April 15, 201513 through November 30, 2016. A net of 

approximately $22,540,000 of investor money was raised by California Gold Medal, L.P.

($21,470,000 in capital contributions and approximately $1,070,000 in syndication fees). However, a 

net of approximately $1,410,000 of investor money was transferred from California Gold Medal, L.P.

to SFRC and Immedia and not returned to California Gold Medal, L.P. Approximately $333,50014 of 

the total transferred to SFRC and Immedia was sourced from investor capital contributions 

(excluding potential syndication fees). As of November 30, 2016, there was approximately 

$15,200,000 remaining in the three California Gold Medal, L.P. accounts listed in Table 1.

 

13 From April 15, 2015 to August 26, 2015 (starting date range in Table 8), bank account activity included a 

$1,000 transfer in from SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213).

14 The $333,500 sourced from investor capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees) was

calculated as the net total transferred to SFRC and Immedia of approximately $1,410,000 less $1,070,000 of 

potential syndication fees and $6,500 transfers in from CallSocket, LP.

III. SUMMARY OF MONEY INFLOWS AND OUTFLOWS OF SFRC AND 

IMMEDIA 

13. SFRC opened at least nine bank accounts in its name, and Immedia opened at least 

two bank accounts in its name. I reviewed a multitude of transactions for all of these accounts and 

categorized them using the produced QuickBooks accounting records and bank records. My analysis 

of the transactions are based off the produced QuickBooks accounting records15 and bank records and 

include the following SFRC and Immedia bank accounts (abbreviated references): SFRC-EWB-3213, 

SFRC-EWB-9196, SFRC-EWB-2439, SFRC-EWB-4807, SFRC-EWB-2249, SFRC-EWB-6256, 

SFRC-CB-2980, SFRC-CB-3590, SFRC-Citi-6638, Immedia-EWB-5531, and Immedia-EWB-5523. 

The SFRC transactions per QuickBooks accounting records range from November 1, 2010 through 

March 31, 2016 and the Immedia transactions range from November 18, 2015 to June 17, 2016. The 

results of my review and analysis are summarized in Table 7, detailed in Exhibit 33, and described in 

paragraphs 13A through 13L, 14, and 15. 

 

15 The QuickBooks accounting records I used in my analyses throughout the report include the following 

extracted reports: transaction detail by account, journals, profit and loss statements, and balance sheet 

statements.

reduces the difference to $36,105,355. 

15. Also, as indicated by Table 7, $90,892,799 was transferred from the accounts of EB-5 

Entities into SFRC and Immedia, and $45,705,602 was transferred back to these EB-5 Entities’ 

accounts. Table 8 below summarizes a subset of the direct inflows and outflows of money to/from 

SFRC and Immedia by the EB-5 Entities (excluding payments made on behalf of), according to 

QuickBooks accounting records and bank records. The starting date range used for the analysis, and 

included in the table below, is either the date when investor money first came into the entity’s 

account (if a limited partnership, “L.P.”) or when investor funds first transferred to SFRC and 

Immedia (for a limited liability company, “LLC”). The ending date range is either March 24, 2016, 

the day before the state court issued its amended order granting the Receiver control over the 

CallSocket Entities or June 17, 2016, which is the last transaction in Immedia’s QuickBooks 

accounting records.

capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees), I traced the transfer back to the 

originating entity that received the initial investor money. Then, I deducted any potential received 

syndication fees, unknown funds, or prior account ending balances to calculate the minimum amount 

sourced from investor capital contributions. See below for selected months and amounts and a 

breakdown by entity at Exhibit 34. 

• October 2012: At least $1,300,000 in capital contributions was transferred into SFRC from 

CallSocket, L.P.

2014, Central Escrow deposited $549,099 from a CallSocket III, L.P. investor into a CallSocket III, 

L.P. account (CSIIILP-EWB-6778), increasing the balance from $105 to $549,204. That same day 

$549,000 was transferred from CallSocket III, L.P.’s account (CSIIILP-EWB-6778) to SFRC’s 

account (SFRC-EWB-3213), increasing the balance from $3,664 to $552,664. That same day, 

$350,00017 was then transferred, at the direction of Tom Henderson, from SFRC’s account (SFRCEWB-3213) to Aileen Yen’s personal account (AY-EWB-8314), decreasing SFRC’s balance to 

$202,664. 

18. On October 8, 2014, Central Escrow deposited $557,950 from a NA3PL, L.P. investor 

into NA3PL, L.P.’s account (NA3PLLP-EWB-6927), increasing the balance from $844 to $558,794. 

That same day, at the direction of Tom Henderson, $550,000 was transferred from NA3PL, L.P.’s 

account (NA3PLLP-EWB-6927) to North America 3PL, LLC’s account (NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351), 

and then from North America 3PL, LLC’s account (NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351) to SFRC’s account 

(SFRC-EWB-3213), increasing SFRC’s balance from $202,664 to $752,664. Three disbursements 

totaling $325,000, which included at least $214,00018 in capital contributions from NA3PL, L.P. and 

CallSocket III, L.P., were transferred from SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213), at the direction of 

Tom Henderson, with $210,000 to CallSocket, L.P. (CSLP-EWB-4849), $80,000 to CallSocket 

Holding Company, LLC (CSHLLC-EWB-6398), and $35,000 to SFRC’s payroll disbursement 

account (SFRC-EWB-4807). On the same day the $80,000 was transferred to CallSocket Holding 

Company, LLC’s account (CSHLLC-EWB-6398), approximately $78,000 was wired to the 

bankruptcy Trustee to pay mortgage and interest expenses. Of the $210,000 transferred to 

CallSocket, L.P.’s account (CSLP-EWB-4849), at least $192,800 net was used from October 9, 2014 

to October 10, 2014 for payroll liabilities. 

 

17 $346,000 of the $350,000 was sourced from CallSocket III, L.P. investor money (including potential 

syndication fees). The $346,000 is calculated as $350,000 transferred to Aileen Yen, less SFRC’s ending 

balance of $3,664 on October 6, 2014. 

18 The $214,000 sourced from capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees) was calculated by 

taking the $325,000 transferred out from SFRC, less potential syndication fees of $58,000 from NA3PL, L.P.

and $49,000 from CallSocket III, L.P., less SFRC’s ending balance on October 6, 2014 of $3,664.

1, 2013 include a $20,000 cleared check from the prior month and $420,000 in transfers to other 

entities, at the direction of Tom Henderson, leaving an ending balance of $52,318. A total of 

$109,938 in checks issued on November 1, 2013 cleared on a later date, according to QuickBooks 

and bank records. The cash received from CallSocket II, L.P. investors was used primarily to fund 

accounts of other entities including $200,000 to CallSocket, L.P. (CSLP-EWB-3288), $100,000 to 

Berkeley Healthcare Dynamics, L.P. and $70,000 to CallSocket Holding Company, LLC (CSHLLCEWB-6398). 

21. The November 1, 2013 SFRC cash inflows and outflows are summarized by the 

following Table 9. Attached as Exhibit 36 are pertinent pages from the bank records supporting the 

example. Due to the voluminous nature of the many bank statements that support this example, I 

have only attached the relevant bank record pages.

D. Example 4: $500,000 is Transferred from California Gold Medal, L.P. to Immedia

24. According to QuickBooks accounting records and bank records, on February 9, 2016 

Central Escrow transferred $499,099 from a California Gold Medal, L.P. investor to a California 

Gold Medal, L.P. account (CAGMLP-PB-8915), increasing the balance from $32,498 to $531,597. 

On February 10, 2016, $300,000 was transferred from the - Gold Medal, L.P. account (CAGMLPPB-8915) to another California Gold Medal, L.P. account (CAGMLP-EWB-6026), increasing the 

balance from $658 to $300,658. The next day, at the direction of Tom Henderson, $300,000 was 

transferred from California Gold Medal, L.P. account (CAGMLP-EWB-6026) to Immedia’s account 

(Immedia-EWB-5523) increasing the balance from $11,449 to $311,449. On February 24, 2016, 

another $200,000 was transferred from California Gold Medal, L.P. account (CAGMLP-PB-8915) to 

California Gold Medal, L.P. account (CAGMLP-EWB-6026), increasing the balance again to 

$200,638. That same day, at the direction of Tom Henderson, California Gold Medal, L.P. 

(CAGMLP-EWB-6026) transferred $200,000 to Immedia’s account (Immedia-EWB-5523), 

increasing the balance from $2,118 to $202,118. It appears that later that day, at the direction of Tom 

Henderson, $200,000 was transferred from Immedia’s account (Immedia-EWB-5523) to CallSocket, 

L.P.’s account (CSLP-EWB-3288) with a majority of the money sourced from California Gold 

Medal, L.P. investors. In this example, at least $453,00021 of California Gold Medal, L.P. capital 

contributions (excluding potential syndication fees) was transferred to Immedia. 

25. Attached as Exhibit 38 are pertinent pages from the bank records supporting the 

example. Due to the voluminous nature of the many bank statements that support this example, I 

have only attached the relevant bank record pages. 

V. BERKELEY HEALTHCARE DYNAMICS, L.P. RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY 

$2,200,000 FROM SFRC BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2012 AND JANUARY 2014 

26. From November 9, 2012 to January 31, 2014, SFRC’s accounts (SFRC-EWB-3213, 

SFRC-CB-2980) transferred $2,218,000 to Berkeley Healthcare Dynamics, L.P. During the same 

 

21 A total of $453,000 in capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees) was calculated by taking 

the total wired amount of $500,000 less California Gold Medal, L.P.’s February 8, 2016 ending balance of 

$32,498, Immedia’s ending balance of $11,449 on February 10, 2016 and Immedia’s ending balance of $2,118 

on February 23, 2016.

(Exhibit 39). The first investor funds for NA3PL, L.P. were deposited in its account (NA3PLLPEWB-6927) on May 28, 2014 from Central Escrow. 

VI. INVESTOR CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS WERE USED TO PAY OVERSEAS 

FINDERS

27. Table 10 summarizes my research and analysis of the commissions/finders’ fees paid 

by the entities identified therein. Using QuickBooks accounting records and bank records, I traced 

approximately $8,890,000 in paid syndication fees from investors from November 21, 2011 through 

June 17, 201622. During this same time period, at least $16,600,000 was paid in finders’ fees by the 

entities identified in Table 10, mainly to agents in China. I traced at least $7,500,000 of investor 

capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees) used to pay the finders’ fees. The 

following paragraph describes the methodology. 

Table 10 

28. In order to trace the minimum of $7,500,000 of paid finders’ fees sourced from 

investor capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees), I traced a selected population of 

 

22 SFRC received authorization from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) to 

operate as an EB-5 “Regional Center” in late November 2011 (Eme Decl., ¶37, Exhibit 36).

finders’ fee payments back to the originating entity that received the initial investor money. Then, I 

deducted any potential received syndication fees, unknown funds or prior account ending balances to 

calculate the minimum amount sourced from investor capital contributions. The following Table 11 

lists the entities that paid finders’ fees and identifies the minimum in capital contributions (excluding 

syndication fees) used to pay finders’ fees. See Exhibit 40 for a breakdown of my calculations that 

are summarized in Table 11 below. 

Table 11 

Example of the Use of Capital Contributions to Pay Finder’ Fees

29. According to QuickBooks accounting records and bank records, from August 20, 2014 

to August 26, 2014, Central Escrow deposited $998,284 from two NA3PL, L.P. investors into a 

NA3PL, L.P. account (NA3PLLP-EWB-6927), increasing the balance from $461 to $998,745. On 

August 26, 2014, Central Escrow also deposited $549,055 from a CallSocket III, L.P. investor (which 

included $49,055 in syndication fees) into a CallSocket III, L.P. account (CSIIILP-EWB-6778), 

increasing the balance from $196 to $549,251. On August 27, 2014, $500,000 was transferred from a 

NA3PL, L.P. account (NA3PLLP-EWB-6927) to a North America 3PL, LLC account (NA3PLLLCEWB-4351), increasing the balance from $72,786 to $572,786. On the same day, at the direction of 

Tom Henderson, $500,000 from this same North America 3PL, LLC account (NA3PLLLC-EWB4351) and $549,000 from CallSocket III, L.P.’s account (CSIIILP-EWB-6778) were transferred to 

SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213), increasing the balance from $187,952 to $1,236,952. Again on 

the same day, $566,300 was wired from SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213) to UBIK Solutions

C. Purchase of Dufwin Towers Building

37. The Dufwin Towers Building, located at 519 17th St., Oakland, CA, was purchased 

through two payments to First American Title Insurance. While CallSocket II, L.P. is noted as the 

buyer of the property, the funds used to purchase the property were mainly sourced from CallSocket, 

L.P. The largest payment is detailed below, according to QuickBooks accounting records and bank 

records.

38. The buyer’s final settlement statement produced by SFRC shows an escrow deposit of 

$1,017,240 received on December 7, 2012 from CallSocket II, L.P. to purchase the Dufwin Towers 

Building (Exhibit 46). As of November 7, 2012, there was a balance of $67,383 in CallSocket, L.P.’s

account (CSLP-EWB-3288). On November 9, 2012, $238,826 was deposited into this account for an 

unknown purpose. On November 16, 2012, Central Escrow transferred $549,050 from a CallSocket, 

L.P. investor to CallSocket, L.P.’s account (CSLP-EWB-3288), increasing the balance to $855,259 

($772,548 at end of day). On November 19, 2012, at the direction of Tom Henderson, CallSocket, 

L.P.’s account (CSLP-EWB-3288) transferred $500,000 to SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213), 

increasing SFRC’s bank balance to $511,836 ($451,836 at end of day). From November 21, 2012 to 

December 7, 2012, Central Escrow transferred another $2,196,485 of CallSocket, L.P. investors’ 

funds to CallSocket, L.P.’s account (CSLP-EWB-3288). On December 7, 2012, at the direction of 

Tom Henderson, CallSocket, L.P.’s account (CSLP-EWB-3288) transferred $800,000 to SFRC’s 

account (SFRC-EWB-3213), increasing SFRC’s bank balance from $225,335 to $1,025,335. On that 

same day, SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213) wired $1,017,240 to First American Title insurance

to purchase the Duwin Towers Building. At least $453,00026 of the funds to purchase the property 

was sourced from CallSocket, L.P. capital contributions (excluding potential syndication fees). 

39. It appears that in March 2013, the loans for the Community Bank Building and 

Dufwin Towers Building were refinanced with a new lender. From January 9, 2013 through March 

 

26 The amount sourced from capital contributions was calculated by first taking the $1,017,240 and deducting 

the SFRC ending balance of $11,836 on November 18, 2012, $245,535 in potential CallSocket, L.P. investor 

syndication fees from November 16, 2012 to December 7, 2012, and the CallSocket, L.P. ending balance of 

$306,209 on November 9, 2012.

II, L.P.’s account (CSIILP-EWB-3866) to First American Title Insurance. 

40. Attached as Exhibits 47-48 are pertinent pages from the bank records supporting the 

examples above. Due to the voluminous nature of the many bank statements that support the 

examples, I have only attached the relevant bank record pages. 

D. Purchase of I. Magnin Building

41. The I. Magnin Building, located at 2001 Broadway, Oakland, CA was purchased 

through two payments to Chicago Title Company (Exhibit 49). While CallSocket III Holding 

Company, LLC is noted at the buyer of the property, the funds used to purchase the property were 

sourced from CallSocket, L.P. and CallSocket II, L.P. The larger of the two payments is detailed 

below, according to QuickBooks accounting records and bank records.

funds used to purchase the property appear to be sourced from CallSocket III, L.P. and NA3PL, L.P.

investors (Exhibit 57). The payment is detailed below, according to QuickBooks accounting records 

and bank records. 

54. On December 4, 2014, Central Escrow deposited $559,050 from a NA3PL, L.P.

investor into a NA3PL, L.P. account (NA3PLLP-EWB-6927), increasing the balance from $547 to

of $450,000 was transferred from the NA3PL, L.P. account (NA3PLLP-EWB-6927) to a North 

America 3PL, LLC account (NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351). On December 5, 2014 and December 10, 

2014, after the North America 3PL, LLC account (NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351) received these transfers, 

two $100,000 payments totaling $200,000 were transferred from this account to SFRC’s account 

(SFRC-EWB-3213), at the direction of Tom Henderson. On December 17, 2014, another $250,000 

was transferred from North America 3PL, LLC’s account (NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351) to SFRC’s 

account (SFRC-EWB-3213). On December 16, 2014, Central Escrow transferred $549,079 from an 

investor in CallSocket III, L.P. to a CallSocket III, L.P. account (CSIIILP-EWB-6778), increasing the 

balance from $1,827 to $550,906. On December 17, 2014, CallSocket III, L.P.’s account (CSIIILPEWB-6778) transferred $550,000 to SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213). 

55. The two transfers on December 17, 2014 from North America 3PL, LLC’s account 

(NA3PLLLC-EWB-4351) and CallSocket III, L.P.’s account (CSIIILP-EWB-6778) increased 

SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213) from $9,797 to $809,797. On the same day, SFRC’s account 

(SFRC-EWB-3213) wired $150,000 to First American Title Company. At least $30,00030 of the 

$150,000 was sourced from CallSocket III, L.P. and NA3PL, L.P. investor capital contributions 

(excluding potential syndication fees). 

56. The following Diagram G is a flowchart depicting these transactions. Attached as 

Exhibit 58 are pertinent pages from the bank records supporting the example. Due to the voluminous 

 

30 The amount sourced from investor capital contributions was calculated by taking the $150,000 wire amount 

less $59,050 of potential NA3PL, L.P. syndication fees, $49,079 of potential CallSocket III, L.P. syndication 

fees, CallSocket III, L.P.’s ending balance of $1,827 on December 15, 2014, and SFRC’s ending balance of 

$9,797 on December 16, 2014.

Tom Henderson, check #1587 for $250,000 was issued from SFRC’s account (SFRC-EWB-3213), 

and the check was deposited the same day into another SFRC account (SFRC-CB-2980), increasing
