Tri-Med Receiver Announces $600,000 In Settlements

On August 15, 2016, Burton W. Wiand, as Receiver including for Tri-Med Corporation and Tri-Med Associates, Inc. filed a motion with the receivership court for approval of settlement agreements between the Receiver, on behalf of the entities for which he serves as Receiver, and (1) Stephen D. Marlowe and his law firm, Marlowe McNabb Machnik, P.A. (f/k/a Marlowe McNabb, P.A.), and (2) Brian Stayton and his law firm, The Stayton Law Group, P.A.  The settlement agreements require Marlowe to pay to the Receiver $500,000 and Stayton to pay to the Receiver $100,000 (for the ultimate benefit of the receivership estate) in exchange for the Receiver’s release of all claims that could have been asserted against Marlowe or Stayton, including any and all claims arising from or related in any way to their involvement with or provision of services to Tri-Med or any other receivership entity.  In addition, the motion requests that the Court enter orders barring any claims against Marlowe or Stayton relating to Tri-Med, including by investors or by potential joint tortfeasors for contribution or indemnity.

Insiders of the Tri-Med Ponzi scheme retained professionals like lawyers and accountants – including Marlowe and Stayton – to give their scheme the appearance of legitimacy and make potential investors feel more comfortable.  For example, investors were told that Marlowe was responsible for, among other things, holding investors’ money in trust pending its use to purchase letters of protection.  During the entirety of the scheme, however, only approximately $2.8 million of the more than $17.6 million raised from investors was deposited in trust with Marlowe.  Insiders diverted the vast majority of the money invested in Tri-Med for their personal and others’ benefit.  Similarly, in some cases, Stayton signed documents associated with letters of protection that did not exist.  Insiders fabricated dozens of letters of protection and instead of purchasing medical receivables, they used investors’ money to enrich themselves, purchase real estate, and fund unrelated business ventures.
 
The settlement amounts represent more than the maximum amounts presently available under Marlowe’s and Stayton’s respective professional liability policies and require the payment of personal funds in addition to insurance proceeds.  Based on the information reviewed by the Receiver, the settlements also constitute a recovery by the receivership entities of an amount well in excess of all fees received by Stayton and Marlowe, collectively, as a result of their dealings with Tri-Med.
 
 
Should you have any questions or require further information concerning the proposed settlement terms or the process for submitting a response to the Receiver’s Motion, please contact the Receiver’s counsel, Jordan Maglich, either by email at jmaglich@wiandlaw.com or by telephone at (813) 347-5100.

Attention Tri-Med Investors (Updated):

On October 22, 2014, the Court heard evidence for most of the day. At the conclusion, the Court found that the evidence presented by the Office of Financial Regulation showed that the defendants engaged in widespread fraud. As a result, the Court decided to maintain the injunction, asset freeze, and receivership in place. The transcript of the proceedings and the Order of the Court are available for review – Transcript and Order

The Receiver has learned that investors in Tri-Med Corporation have received correspondence about efforts to place Tri-Med in involuntary bankruptcy, including correspondence from investor Robert McClellan. The Receiver’s investigation has revealed that Defendants are involved in these efforts and that the correspondence contains reckless and false statements and ignores much of Defendants’ fraudulent activities. The Court has scheduled a hearing for October 22, 2014, during which the Office of Financial Regulation will present to the Court evidence of Defendants’ securities fraud. The Receiver urges each investor to exercise caution in addressing this or any other correspondence relating to this matter that was not sent by the Office of Financial Regulation or the Receiver, and investors are encouraged to contact the Receiver’s office before responding or providing any information requested by such correspondence.
