Good News, Bad News

Clawbacks

The Receiver has managed to recover $28,969,711 from 164 net winners, with another $984,379 due in payments.  So we’re looking at close to a $30 million recovery…on IIRC $125 million in losses.  There are another 100 demand letters still out there and there are 16 cases still in court.

ATMs

There are now only 158 ATMs still in service.  Remember, we keep losing them because contracts expire and the ATMs are too expensive to replace or because they’re just too old.  Honestly, guys, this ATM business is dwindling.  We’ve lost almost half of what we started with.  And there’s no mention of a sale, not that I expect to be one.

Oasis/Fiji/Studio Maui

The Receiver seems determined to go after Oasis to sell of any viable assets as well as get back large amounts money that Oasis wrongfully took from NASI and Oasis.  They have been dragging their feet with the paperwork, only sending part of what was requested and the Receiver offered them a settlement.  They did not bite and now the Receiver is suing them.  As for Studio Maui, they only have four trailers, which I gather are all crap.  Richmand (Studio Maui’s principal) agreed to purchase two for $9,250 but they have not reached an agreement on the remaining two.

Payouts

The Receiver states that the clawbacks are expected to wind down towards the end of Quarter 2, 2017/beginning of Quarter 3, 2017.  For those who don’t think in terms of fiscal years, that’s July-ish.  At that point, the Receiver will file a procedure with the court and once that’s approved, the checks will likely go out thereafter.

I will be following up this weekend with the lawsuits against CNB.  That’s where the bad news lies.

  1. Thank you for the informative update. Do we need to contact the reciever again after we have sent them our paperwork for hopeful reimbercement? Also are they really going after the people that made a profit in this?
    The family that encouraged me to join made their money back many times over and have the wealth to pay it back but I would guess have not

  2. I have received a check from the United States Treasury. I have tried to Email the Receiver but it does not go through I’d like to know if I will be receiving more checks since this one is under $60.00 Do you have any information on how the restitution will be made? One lump sum or payments?
