Bankruptcy Trustee UpdateThe Four Star Bankruptcy Trustee has gained court orders compelling a number of attorneys and other individuals to answer questions and provide documents related to the disappearance of tens of millions of dollars invested in Four Star. The trust accounts of several Four Star attorneys were allegedly used to funnel investor funds. According to documents filed by the Trustee, some of the attorneys are refusing to cooperate with investigators. Depositions are slated to start in July.
According to court records, the Trustee has now identified up to 120 business entities connected to Four Star and its three principals, Mark Cohn, Ron Anson and Jack Garrett. The Trustee says many Four Star records remain missing, making it difficult to trace lost funds.
The Trustee has filed suit against Mark Cohn, Ron Anson and Jack Garrett in an adversary proceeding to recover assets. The suit alleges fraud and deceit; breach of duty of care; breach of duty of loyalty; and legal malpractice.
Bankruptcy Trustee litigator Eric Aguilera slammed Anson and Garrett attorneys over a recent quote in the Wall Street Journal. Aguilera called claims that Anson and Garrett are not targets of criminal investigation "a complete lie." Aguilera has told investors and creditors he has been reassured by the U.S. Attorney that Anson and Garrett remain under criminal investigation.
