The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case is being handled by Jerry Namba, Trustee and is case number 9:08-bk-11460-RR. See document. A large creditor group claimed and alleges millions were taken and immediately removed to personal pockets that left several law firms and shareholders requesting redemptions unpaid. They are petitioning the court to block Michael Sauvante et al from running off with corporate IP that was sold to shareholders and later uncovered as only "leased" to the start-up corporate shells. Investigations (forensic accounting and bankruptcy history) confirm the truthful evidence supplied by the law firms, shareholders, court transcripts, and court opinions.

Shouldn't One Beware of Fraudulent Propositions and Get Rich Quick Schemes?
Michael Sauvante, John Willis, Glenn Sanders and Frank Bachinsky may not yet understand the legal definition of property. Property does not mean just real estate, it includes other assets and court confirmed shareholder money - where has it all gone?
Shareholders from the west coast to the east coast have obtained all court records in order to search for their considerable "missing investments".
"When comparing the bank account record deposits there are immediate withdrawals to these business impostors for the years reviewed. A clear pattern of a lack of business development expenditures for any of the shell organizations is found and contrary to written and verbal promises made to the shareholders. Withdrawals were far beyond the expected salaries for start-up organizations and actually depleted the numerous accounts."
Forensic auditors have confirmed the courts opinions above.
Shouldn't one be wise and research proposed investments and the parties behind them before investing?
