Farr (Farr); George Hites (Hites); Greg Kingdon (Kingdon); David Petersen (Petersen); Robby J. Stowe (Stowe); Sandor Szaniszlo; (Szaniszlo), allege as follows: PARTIES 1. 2. 3. Bagley is an individual residing in the State of Utah. Bee is an individual residing in the State of Utah. Hunter is an individual residing in the State of Utah who, at all times
through the dissolution of PMI in October, 2011 was its sole or majority owner. Upon the dissolution and winding up of PMI, the assets of PMI were required to be treated in accordance with UTAH CODE ANN. 48-2c-1308, which provides: (1) After dissolution, and during winding up, the assets of the company shall be applied to pay or satisfy: (a) first, the liabilities to creditors other than members, in the order of priority as provided by law; (b) second, the liabilities to members in their capacities as creditors, in the order of priority as provided by law; and (c) third, the expenses and cost of winding up. (2) Company assets remaining after application under Subsection (1) shall be allocated and

distributed to the members as provided in the articles of organization or operating agreement, or if not so provided, in accordance with the members' final capital account balances after allocation of all profits and losses including profits and losses accrued or incurred during winding up. In all his acts alleged, Hunter acted as an agent for each of the conspiracy, the Church, the Utah Church, the Utah Mission, Wright, Oneiros and PMI, and he acted within the course and scope of that agency. 4. Kimberly is an individual residing in the State of Utah, is a Co-Debtor in
the main bankruptcy case, having filed a joint voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the UNITED STATES CODE on May 25, 2012. At material times hereto, Kimberly was a member of the Board of Directors of the Utah Mission and controlled its operations under the oversight of the Utah Church and the Church. At all times, Kimberly acted as an agent for the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission and she acted within the course and scope of that agency. 5. PMI is a Utah limited liability company that was formed on June 21, 2005
and which expired on October 4, 2011. At all material times in its existence, PMI held an exclusive license from Oneiros to allegedly valuable software technology invented by Wright and owned by Oneiros. PMI at all times was an alter ego of Wright, Oneiros, the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission and an agent of the conspiracy which acted within the course and scope of that agency. 6. Wright is an individual residing in the State of Utah who created a Utah
limited liability company named Portfolio Manager, L.C., in 2002. At times material to this adversary proceeding Wright was the President of the Utah Church, in charge of all of its operations and the oversight of the Utah Mission under the direction of the Church.

Wright also owns, with Cynthia, the building from which the Utah Church, the Utah Mission, PMI and Oneiros operated. In all his acts alleged, Wright acted as an agent for each of the Church, the Utah Church, the Utah Mission, Hunter, Oneiros and the conspiracy, and he acted within the course and scope of that agency. 7. Madsen is an individual residing in the State of Utah who created a Utah
limited liability company named Portfolio Manager, L.C., in 2002. Madsen was responsible, along with Wright, for the design and programming of Oneiros purported investment software by which the co-conspirators sought to solicit investment in PMI as part of their high-yield investment scheme. Madsen was also involved in discussions as early as 2004 with the co-conspirators to establish PMI as a source of soliciting investment funds. 8. Oneiros is a Utah limited liability company that was formed on April 23,
2002 under the name Portfolio Manager, L.C., with Wright and Madsen as its members. On March 21, 2006, Madsen executed Articles of Amendment changing the companys name to Oneiros Technologies L.C. Oneiros thereafter expired on or about July 31, 2007. Oneiros remained expired at least through January 26, 2010, thereby subjecting both Wright and Madsen to personal liability for all conduct of Oneiros between at least those dates. By May 2, 2011, Oneiros had been brought current and on that date Articles of Amendment were filed to allow Oneiros to engage in FOREX trading activities involving the trading of foreign currencies in futures markets. That same date, Oneiros filed its Annual Report, changing the principal address of Oneiros to the former principal business address of PMI, 353 East 400 South, Suite 302, Salt Lake City, Utah and changing the registered agent from Madsen to Wright. On information and belief,

PMI had spent approximately $1 million purportedly building out those premises, when it occupied them. Oneiros at all times was an alter ego of Hunter, Wright, PMI, the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission. 9. Lucidity is a Utah limited liability company created on May 19, 2008, by
Christopher David Hales (Hales), a convicted felon now serving time in a federal penitentiary, Benjamin J. Davis (Davis) and Daniel Mark Burbank (Burbank). One purpose for the formation of Lucidity was for it to operate as a source of solicitation and procurement of investor funds directly for PMI and to funnel other funds obtained illicitly to PMI and others. Lucidity dissolved on September 1, 2009. For all intents and purposes, Lucidity was and is the alter ego of Wright, Oneiros, PMI and Hunter. Lucidity at all times was an alter ego of or agent acting for and within the scope of the agency granted by Hunter, Wright, PMI, Oneiros, the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission. 10. Volition Trading Company, LLC is a Utah limited liability company created
on June 3, 2010 by convicted felon Hales and a putative Nevada corporation named Epicenter Trading, Inc. One purpose for the formation of Volition was for it to operate as a source of solicitation and procurement of investor funds directly for PMI and to funnel other funds obtained illicitly to PMI and others. Volition dissolved on October 4, 2011, the same day that PMI expired. For all intents and purposes, Volition was and is the alter ego of Wright, Oneiros, PMI and Hunter. Epicenter Trading, Inc.s principals include Kevin W. Jones and Matthew E. Poll, who, together with Epicenter Trading, Inc., are also the principals of a company known as Freedom Wealth Group, LLC (FWG). FWG, not coincidentally, offers to teach investors how to FOREX trade and uses an

advertisement that claims to reduce the amount of risk in FOREX trading just as PMI claimed to eliminate the risk in stock trading. FOREX trading, as stated above, is the new business of Oneiros. Two FWG marketing agents are currently under an administrative order to show cause from the Division of Securities of the Department of Commerce of the State of Utah why they should not be, among other things, ordered to cease and desist their commission of securities fraud.1 Volition at all times was an alter ego of or agent acting for and within the scope of the agency granted by Hunter, Wright, PMI, Oneiros, the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission. 11. Utah Church is a Utah corporation organized on March 14, 1969. Co-
schemer Wright was the President of the Utah Church during the time that solicitations were made from the plaintiffs. Utah Church maintained its office in the same location as PMI and Oneiros during that time. 12. Utah Mission is a Utah corporation organized on August 27, 2004. Utah
Mission is responsible for the lower-level auditing courses in Scientology and enjoys a tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) as part of a group exemption ruling with the Church. The Utah Mission, like all Scientology missions, operates the front lines dissemination activity for Scientology with the purpose of actively sending a large flow of new public members to its local organization.2 Utah Mission is required by the Church to pay ten percent (10%) of its gross income to the Church. 13. Cynthia L. Wright was at all material times a member of the Board of
Directors of the Utah Mission and controlled its operations under the oversight of the

Utah Church and the Church. Cynthia also owns, with Wright, the building from which the Utah Church, the Utah Mission, PMI and Oneiros operated. 14. The Church, a California corporation, within the worldwide network of
Scientology corporations and entities, is officially referred to as the mother church of the Church of Scientology. According to the official website of the Church of Scientology, the Church provides overall direction, planning and guidance for the network of churches, missions, field auditors and volunteer ministers which comprise the Scientology hierarchy it spans, and ensures these various organizations are all working effectively together. The Church broadly plans and coordinates Scientology expansion. This planning is then carried out by the individual networks of organizations which comprise ecclesiastical management at the continental echelon. Through CSIs ecclesiastical management activities, Scientology churches receive guidance in applying the scriptures both technically and administratively. The Church addition[ally] guid[es] the growing Scientology hierarchy . . .. 15. Burton is an individual and resident of the state of California. Burton was
ostensibly an original managing member of PMI but was purportedly removed from that position as of December 31, 2007. At various times, including at the time of PMIs dissolution, it has been represented that Burton is a member of PMI. At other times, he has been represented to be a creditor, having purported to loan PMI $44,500.00. Burton entered into an agreement with PMI to function as the establishment officer (a Scientology term) to oversee all of the activities required to put the organization in place, including infrastructure, processes, technology and the like, to facilitate PMIs operations. In exchange for this agreement, Burton ostensibly received $40 per hour

JURISDICTION 23. Hunter is a Co-Debtor in the main bankruptcy case, Case No. 12-26860
WTT, having filed a joint voluntary petition for relief under chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code on May 25, 2012 with his wife, Co-Debtor Kimberly. 24. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1334(a)
and (b) and 28 U.S.C. 157(a), (b) and (c). The present adversary proceeding is brought pursuant to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 7001(1)-(2), (6)-(7), (9) and includes core proceedings as defined in 28 U.S.C. 157(b)(2)(A), (F), (H)-(K) and (O). This Court has jurisdiction over the non-core claims under 28 U.S.C. 1334(b) and may hear them pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157(c) as otherwise related proceedings. The core proceedings require that the Court assess such matters as the disregard of corporate formalities in operating PMI and other entities, the use of PMI and other entities as Hunters own pocket book, the use of PMI and other entities by Hunter and others for an illegal and fraudulent purpose, viz., to operate High Yield Investment Programs and a Ponzi scheme, that Hunter transferred money freely and without rhyme or reason between PMI and himself and related persons and entities, that Hunter used other persons and entities in an effort to evade the securities laws of the United States, ans that Hunter violated the analogous securities laws of Utah as well as participating in conspiracies to violate securities laws, claims arising under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, 18 U.S.C. 1961, et seq., and other intentional torts and crimes. In the course of committing those violations, monies were procured, used and transferred in such a fashion that all or a substantial part of such funds should be recovered by the Debtors estate and used to pay plaintiffs and possibly other
10

creditors who have not been named.3 The resolution of those other claims necessarily relates to the determination of the objection to discharge generally and to the dischargeability of the alleged debt in the core proceeding. The Court also has original jurisdiction over the claims asserted under 18 U.S.C. 1964(c) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331 in that they arise under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. Finally, because all other claims are so related to claims in the action within the original jurisdiction of the district court under 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1334(a) that they form part of the same case or controversy under Article III of the United States Constitution, this court has jurisdiction over those claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1367. 25. 26860-WTT. 26. Venue is proper in this district pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1965(a), 28 U.S.C. This proceeding arises in and is related to Bankruptcy Case No. 12-
1331, 1391, 1409(a). STATE COURT ACTION 27. On August 20, 2010, plaintiffs in this action filed a complaint against
Hunter, some of the other defendants in this adversary proceeding, and some other coschemers who, although not named in this adversary proceeding as parties, will be identified for their roles in the overall criminal schemes, in the Third District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah, Case No. 100915648 MI (the State Court Action). A genuine copy of the Complaint in the State Court Action is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and its allegations are incorporated herein by this reference.
In addition to the powers of this court in proceedings under Title 11 to recoup assets of the debtor, 18 U.S.C. 1964(a) explicitly authorizes equitable relief involving divestiture, dissolution and reorganization as remedies for violations of section 1962.

On September 20, 2010, Hunter, along with co-schemers Wright, Oneiros
and PMI, through their counsel of record in the State Court Action, Richard F. Ensor (Mr. Ensor), filed his answer in the State Court Action. 29. As of on May 25, 2012, when Hunter, as a Co-Debtor with his wife,
Kimberly, filed their petition for relief in the main bankruptcy, Case No. 12-26860 WTT, Hunter had been litigating in the State Court Action with the same plaintiffs as in this adversary proceeding, for twenty (20) months, during all of which Mr. Ensor was Hunters attorney. 30. When plaintiffs received notice, for the very first time, on July 24, 2012,
that Hunter and Kimberly had filed bankruptcy, plaintiffs notified Mr. Ensor that his client had been in bankruptcy for two months. Mr. Ensor was as unknowledgeable as plaintiffs had been. 31. Plaintiffs immediately withdrew written discovery which had just recently
been propounded in the State Court Action. 32. Much of the State Court Action involved attempts to pry loose from Hunter,
Wright, PMI and Oneiros documents that would reveal in more detail the scope and breadth of the Ponzi schemes they operated and were operating, the identities and roles of the participants and the source and trail of the monies and assets transported through the persons and entities involved. HUNTERS PARTICIPATION IN AND THE OPERATIONS OF HIGH YIELD INVESTMENT PROGRAMS AND PONZI SCHEMES FOLLOWED THE MODUS OPERANDI OF THE ORGANIZATION HE WORKED FOR THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY 33. Scientology is an organization founded by science-fiction author L. Ron
Hubbard that focuses on the practice of Dianetics, or proclaimed spiritual healing 12

technology by which ailments such as unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses can be alleviated.4 34. Scientologists receive counseling, or auditing, from an auditor who is
trained and expert in the exact techniques of Dianetics and Scientology.5 35. Auditing is done in a gradient series of steps, which improve the
individuals ability to confront and handle more and more parts of his existence and achieve higher levels of spiritual awareness and well-being.6 36. Scientologists claim that [t]he goal and end result of Dianetics is the state
of Clear, attained through many hours of Dianetic auditing.7 37. However, the gradient series of steps includes over 46 separate levels of
auditing, 12 steps beyond ones achieving the state of Clear, and at least 16 steps are remedial sessions for those who do not achieve Clear upon the first or subsequent attempts.8 38. The Church of Scientology was founded in 1954, and has grown to include
more than 9,000 Scientology Churches, Missions, and affiliated groups in 165 nations.9 39. One factor of Scientologys growth is the so-called Birthday Game,
celebrated in honor of the birthday of L. Ron Hubbard (Hubbard), the founder of the religion.

Upon inquiry by a parishioner in 1974 as to what he wanted for his
birthday, Hubbard responded, 5x the stats, which incited a yearly game to determine the largest expansion, determined by such things as affluence and power, among the local missions and Scientology organizations worldwide.10 41. Each year, near the date of Mr. Hubbards birthday, the Church of
Scientology holds an awards ceremony, at which the grand prize for the greatest expansion worldwide is honored with a large horse-racing trophy, a jockey shirt, and a kiss on each cheek from a pair of Scientology virgins.11 42. 43. This is one way that Scientology pushes to increase its membership. It is no surprise that Scientology places preeminent emphasis on
increasing membership, because each member must incur a minimum expenditure of over $100,000.00 to reach the level of Clear, and multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars to reach Operating Thetan XII, the highest level of training in Scientology.12 44. Auditing sessions cost as much as $1,000 an hour, or $12,500 for a 12
hour intensive.13 45. New followers may earn commissions by recruiting in order to pay their
auditing fees, become auditors themselves, or enter into an agreement to receive free counseling in exchange for a billion years of labor.14

In order to obtain and maintain non-profit status with the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), the Church refers to these costs as donations; however, the United States Supreme Court has held that these so-called donations are not tax-deductible for parishioners, since benefits are received for the contributions as part of a quintessential quid pro quo exchange.15 47. Former parishioners contend the Church in recent years pressures its
members to give more than they can reasonably afford.16 48. Despite the exorbitant expense to become Clear, Scientology claims that
becoming a member does not require high cost, but that [a] person who donates for auditing receives one-to-one personal and effective assistance to solve problems in life, to communicate more freely with others and to handle the upsets of life preventing his true and spiritual freedom. Having achieved these lower levels a parishioner moves on to more advanced levels on which he is literally seeking immortality, which is priceless.17 49. Even upon achieving a state of Clear, followers are warned that grave
spiritual dangers are eminent unless they continue on to the higher and more expensive levels.18
Hernandez v. Comm'r, 490 U.S. 680, 691 (1989). The legislative history of the contribution or gift limitation, though sparse, reveals that Congress intended to differentiate between unrequited payments to qualified recipients and payments made to such recipients in return for goods or services. Only the former were deemed deductible. Id. at 690. http://www.tampabay.com/news/scientology/scientology-benefits-when-miami-dentist-runs-up-pa tient-bills/1135436

Each mission is required to pay 10% of its gross income to the larger
organization, a requirement exactingly enforced by the Churchs current leadership.19 51. Hubbards goal for the church was to Make money. Make more money.
Make others produce so as to make money...However you get them in or why, just do it.20 52. Hubbards proclamation has been taken most literally, resulting in the
Churchs effort to gain influence and affluence by resorting to financial scams which act as a front for recruitment and/or income for the Church. 53. The following are only some of the entities known to have been either

Although claiming its independence from the Church, WISE is completely
staffed by Church workers who boast bringing numerous business people into Scientology.24 The Church and its large network of corporations, non-profits, and other legal entities bring in nearly $500 million annually.25 56. WISE promotes Hubbards hard sell mandate devised in 1961 for Church
members who sell Scientology auditing. 57. In a policy letter directed to the Church, Hubbard wrote, [o]ne must
discover what is best for the applicant and then control him into obtaining it and [i]ts against a persons interests to let him decide for himself whether he wants the service.26 58. Known management training companies which espouse Hubbards
business principles include Concerned Businessmens Association of America, Effective Management Centers, eRepublic, Hollander Consultants, Irons Marcus & Valko and its predecessors David Singer Enterprises and Singer Consulting, Meridian Consultants, Power Management Consultants, Silkin Management Group, Stellar Management, Sterling Management Systems, and Uptrends.

practice professionals, but are a front for recruitment of individuals who are better situated to bring significant capital to the Church. 59. Hubbard exclaimed [d]ishonest conduct is non-survival. Anything is
unreasonable or evil which brings out the destruction of individuals, groups, or inhibits the future of the race.27 However, Hubbards ideal of honesty is inconsistent with his wifes and ten other high-ranking Scientologists infiltration, burglarization, and wire tapping of over 100 private and government agencies in an attempt to impede their investigations of Scientology in the 1980s, the Churchs false claims on brochures that Hubbard was a World War II hero who was crippled and blinded in action, twice pronounced dead and miraculously cured through Scientology, or his representation that his fake mail-order doctorate degree from Sequoia University was legitimate.28 In fact, a California judge once concluded that Hubbard himself was a pathological liar.29 Hubbard once said that goodness and badness...are...considerations, and have no other basis than opinion.30 60. Scientology not only condones but also mandates dishonesty through its
Fair Game policy, stating that Suppressives or SPs (critics, ex-members, or anyone taking a position contrary to the Church) may be sued, tricked, lied to, or destroyed.31

Although the use of the term Fair Game was effectively discontinued in
1968, the letter and spirit of the policy are still accepted practice.32 Thus, Scientologists will protect the Church and its tenets (and assets) regardless of any outside influence to the extremes of lying, bankrupting its perceived enemies through lawsuits, and even committing murder and suicide (termed in the Church as EOC, or end of cycle).33 62. Based on L. Ron Hubbards philosophy that the power of the society
and state is pretended and is made from an effort to be powerful where they actually lack power, Scientologists are strongly discouraged, if not completely prohibited, from settling legal disputes with other Scientologists within the confines of the Chaplains Court, the Churchs self-implemented method of conducting civil proceedings.34 As Hubbard explained, [w]hen we grant [society and state] too much beingness to their power, we are granting validity to a falsehood and so it recoils on us.35 63.

During Plaintiffs interactions with Hunters co-schemer, Wright, Wright
represented that he was the president of the local Church of Scientology. 67. Hunters co-schemer Wright also represented that Wright had been
instrumental in Hunters recruitment from the LDS faith to become a member of Scientology. 68. 69. Each of the members of PMI are also Scientologists. Scientology has a reported long history of using Ponzi schemes and
HYIPs not only to generate funds for the various Scientology organizations but also to use as recruitment tools for co-schemers.36 It also has a reported history of obstructing efforts to uncover such schemes.37 70. In a letter dated October 23, 2006, Wright admitted to Burton that [t]he
legal structure we have outlined in the past has only served to create some legal insulation between the entities. This is completely arbitrary since everything we do could just as well be contained within a single company. Later in the letter, Wright wrote [y]ou all know our church needs our help and I do not know about you but I personally see no other group of individuals than ourselves that have an actual workable plan underway, conceding that the co-conspirators scheme was simply a plan to funnel money to the Utah Church and Mission.

In early 2008, co-schemer Hunter sent a letter to co-schemer Petersen in
which he highlighted the purpose of PMI: PMI is just a mechanism to fund the foundation so were not expecting some grand windfall of profits from PMI. 72. Co-schemer Hunter, together with co-schemer Wright, persistently
recruited co-schemer felon Hales and co-schemer Markus Trinity Williams (Williams)38 to become members of the Church of Scientology. 73. Co-schemer convicted felon Hales represented that he went through all
but two days of purification but could not complete the training. 74. Co-schemer Williams represented to Bee that Hales was sick and
emotional and that co-schemer Wright had convinced Hales to submit to the 8-hour-aday purification to help him overcome his infirmities. 75. Up until the time the State Court Action was filed, the Utah Church used
the building located at 353 East 400 South, Salt Lake City, Utah, a commercial property owned by Wright and his wife, Cynthia, as its base of operations. 76. Not coincidentally, that building was the diabolical core of operations for
the High Yield Investment Programs and Ponzi scheme as the building was also the office of PMI and Oneiros. 77. Just ten (10) days after co-schemer Wright filed his answer to the State
Court Action on September 20, 2010, Wright and Cynthia, on September 30, 2010, executed a promissory note secured by a trust deed on that building to effectively transfer control of its remaining equity to Herman L. Franks, Jr., Cynthias brother.
38 Co-schemers Hales and Williams at all times were agents acting for and within the scope of the agency granted by Hunter, Wright, PMI and Oneiros.

fraud schemes that are known by various specific names, including without limitation "Medium Term Note Programs" and "Roll Programs." 81. 82. Such programs do not exist as legitimate investment vehicles. In these schemes, the fraud perpetrator claims to have privileged access
to secret financial trading programs, which are falsely represented to be sanctioned by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the National Futures Association, state securities regulatory agencies, major brokerage houses and/or major financial institutions, often but not always international in nature. 83. Scientology has a reported long history of using Ponzi schemes and
HYIPs not only to generate funds for the various Scientology organizations but also to

use as recruitment tools for co-schemers.39 It also has a reported history of obstructing efforts to uncover such schemes.40 84. Scheme operators typically make claims that a privileged few are invited
to participate in the trading program and/or notes, stocks, commodities or debentures, which can be bought at a discount and sold at a premium. 85. It is often claimed that there are only a few traders or commitment
holders in the world who are authorized to resell these bank securities between the top 25 or 50 banks in the world, often falsely referred to as Prime Banks. 86. By conducting multiple trades in rapid succession, they claim to be able
to produce extraordinary rates of returns, far beyond any normal investment. 87. It is often further claimed that one of the primary reasons these proprietary
trading programs exist is to generate funds for humanitarian purposes and that a portion of the investors profits must be used to provide humanitarian relief and aid somewhere. 88. Perpetrators of HYIPs claim that a high degree of secrecy is required of
the unsuspecting investor in order to participate in the program, and require the execution of various documents which have no meaning in legitimate financial transactions. 89. Typically, the investor first is directed to provide a Letter of Intent, a
Non-Solicitation Agreement, a Confidentiality Agreement, a Non-Circumvention

Letter, a Bank Proof of Funds, a Client Information Summary, and often a copy of the investors passport. 90. The investor is typically told that he or she must go through compliance,
which will purportedly be done by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) or some other government compliance officer. 91. The investor is also told that his or her funds must be verified on a bank
to bank basis to make sure that they do exist and that the funds must be good, clean, clear funds of non-criminal origin. 92. The investor typically is assured that his funds are absolutely safe and
never at risk in any way. 93. The scheme is designed to gradually progress to its ultimate goal, which is
for the co-schemers to gain control of all or a portion of the investors funds which are then stolen by the fraud perpetrators. CO-SCHEMER WRIGHTS HANDWRITTEN FRAUD ORGANIZATION CHART 94. In the very first meeting between co-schemers Wright and Hunter with Bee
and Bagley, Wright drew out a handwritten organizational chart and gave it to Bee. A genuine copy of that chart is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 95. According to the chart that co-schemer Wright drew, and as he explained
it to Bee and Bagley, Oneiros, which was owned by Wright, was at the top of the organization. 96. Exactly consistent with the model for HYIPs generally and as previously
were used, plaintiffs are informed and believe, to pump millions into the Church, co-

schemer Wright represented that he had developed a secret and proprietary stock trading program which would read stock market activity and make investments in stocks according to parameters established by Wright. 97. Wright represented that he had transferred ownership of that secret
trading program to Oneiros, the organization at the top of the chart. 98. Wright represented that Oneiros, in turn, had granted an exclusive license
to PMI, owned by his co-schemer Hunter. 99. Wright then placed PMI on the chart directly under Oneiros and drew a
line between the two companies to represent their relationship by virtue of the secret trading program license. 100. Wright represented to Bee and Bagley details about his co-schemer
Hunters future business plans for PMI, which Wright said was for PMI to trade in the range of $5 million for its customers through the Oneiros-licensed PMI stock trading program. 101. Co-schemers Wright and Hunter both represented that PMI needed
extensive capital in order to commence its operations and needed to procure investors directly in PMI, so that it could acquire the needed hard assets to exploit the secret and proprietary trading program, and to solicit wealthy individuals to use the secret trading program, through which PMI would generate profits for itself. 102. Wright continued drawing the organizational chart, drawing another single
line downward from PMI to two other companies, Volition and Lucidity. Wright represented that those entities were supposed to be feeder funds to facilitate trading.

Underneath Volition and Lucidity, Wright drew a line directly to Bentley Equities.41 Bentley Equities was to be used to recruit investors in PMI for capital investment and for trading through the feeder funds. To the right of Bentley Equities, Wright drew in RPM Investment Co., with reporting lines back to both Bentley Equities and the Volition and Lucidity levels. 103. These were explained in substance as differing levels of the primary
funding sources for PMIs operations, all under the control of, and reporting to Hunter, who in turn reported to Wright. 104. The United States government, starting at the lower levels of the fraud
organization chart, has already taken action against those levels. Co-schemer Hales, who along with co-schemers Williams and former mayor of the City of Cedar Hills, Eric Richardson (Richardson),42 operated the Bentley Equities level, was convicted of bank fraud. In co-schemer Hales Statement by Defendant in Advance of Plea of Guilt, genuine copy attached as Exhibit C, Hales agreement with the United States included this admission: The United States agrees as follows: Waive on behalf of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah any other criminal prosecution of the defendant for offenses regarding the defendant's conduct now under investigation, all of which were discussed during a recorded interview with the defendant on February 22 and 23, 2011, though this conduct provides a basis for the Court to accept the plea agreement and for determining restitution:
There were several Bentley entities created by Hales and Williams, including without limitation, Bentley Equities, LLC, Bentley Holdings & Investments, LLC and Bentley Holdings, LLC. For the purposes of this Complaint the name Bentley Equities or Bentley Co-Schemers will be used. The Bentley CoSchemers at all times were alter egos of or agents acting for and within the scope of the agency granted by Hunter, Wright, PMI, Oneiros, Volition, Lucidity, the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission. Richardson at all times was an alter ego of or agent acting for and within the scope of the agency granted by Hunter, Wright, PMI, Oneiros, Lucidity, Volition, the Church, the Utah Church and the Utah Mission.

suit against co-schemers Hales, Richardson and Bentley Equities, alleging that they, along with their related entity Freedom Wealth Group, committed fraud. Freedom Wealth Groups principals include Epicenter Trading, Inc., one of the founders of Volition. Co-schemer Hales is also a founder of PMIs underling, Lucidity. A genuine copy of the CFTCs complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit E. JUST LIKE IN ALL HYIPs, PMI HAS A SECRET TRADING PLAN 107. PMI is a Utah limited liability company, organized on June 21, 2005, which
purports to be engaged in the business of exploiting technology developed by Oneiros for the purpose of making investments on behalf of investors using a proprietary trading plan. 108. Sometime in 2004, co-schemer Wright introduced co-schemer Hunter to
co-schemer Madsen and showed Hunter the results of the trading software Oneiros was developing before PMI was established. Wright represented to Hunter that Wright and Madsen had developed the software owned by Oneiros. Co-schemer Wright discussed with Hunter the idea creating a PMI-type entity to utilize Oneiros purported trading software, and sparked Hunters interest in running PMI as Wright described it. 109. Also in 2004, co-schemers Wright, Hunter, Madsen, Szaniszlo, and
Burton and another individual, Steve Nemeth, met in Salt Lake City and discussed
29

creating a PMI-like entity which would solicit investment funds for Wrights Oneiros LLC entity and to be traded through purported software being developed by Oneiros. During the meeting, Wright's vision to fund philanthropic foundation and helping Scientology was discussed and incorporated in establishing the new PMI entitys purpose. 110. PMI raised funds and simply transferred the money to Oneiros to
purchase servers and equipment without receiving anything of value from Oneiros in return. WRIGHT AND HUNTER SOLICIT SCIENTOLOGISTS AS MEMBERS OF PMI TO PREVENT LEGAL CLAIMS 111. Defendants Michael Wright and Barry Don Hunter, relying on Defendant
Wrights position as President of the Church of Scientology of Salt Lake, solicited Defendants Burton, DArezzo, Farr, Kingdon, Petersen, Stowe and Szaniszlo (Scientologist Defendants), each being a member and subscriber to the tenets of Scientology, to invest in PMI by making loans to the company. The following transactions are believed to have occurred: a. On January 23, 2007, Barry Hunter sent an email to James
DArezzo and identified $346,000.00 in loans to PMI from Greg Kingdon, Michael Wright and Barry Hunter and also references loans to PMI from David Peterson, Alan Farr, Tom Burton and Sandor Szaniszlo. Each agreement equals a $100,000.00 equity investment in PMI and offers a position to each investor as a non-managing member of PMI. b. On or about October 12, 2007, PMI and David Petersen entered a
Design Build Services and Earnest Money Agreement for $15,000.00 to be tendered at time of signing and another $15,000.00 due on November 15, 2007. 30

In consideration of the up front costs to purchase equipment and labor costs, Mr. Petersen agreed that $25,000.00 of the $30,000.00 investment is considered a non-refundable fee. c. On or about January 1, 2008, PMI and Infinity Catamaran Ltd., an
investment fund located in Road Town Tortola British Virgin Islands and owned by George Hites, entered a Subscription Agreement in the amount of $250,000.00. d. On or about January 29, 2008, Barry Hunter communicated to Jim
DArezzo that PMI was managing $550,000.00 at that time. e. On or about February 21, 2008, Alan Farr transferred $50,000.00 to
PMI, secured with a Promissory Note. f. On or about March 5, 2008, Carol K. Farr, presumably Alan Farrs
spouse or close relative of Alan Farr, transferred $50,000.00 to PMI, secured with a Promissory Note. g. On February 17, 2009, via an email communication with Barry
Hunter, Greg Kingdon committed to PMI an additional $23,611.95. h. On or about March 3, 2009, Barry Hunter emailed David Petersen

Hunters CPAs advice to include another managing member with at least 10% ownership. 112. Plaintiffs are informed and believe that each of these Scientologist
defendants were assured by Wright and Hunter that both PMI and Oneiros were established for the purpose of providing financially for the local Church. 113. Wrights and Hunters plan to use PMI as a source of funding for the local
Church thereby provided the Scientologist Defendants with the understanding that their investment in PMI would benefit the Church of Scientology International on the basis of mandatory contribution from the local Church to the Church of Scientology International and other associated Scientology entities. 114. Wright and Hunter represented to the Scientology Defendants that
accumulated excess funds from PMI would be used as donations to Church foundation projects. THE CONSPIRACY 115. In this particular case, it was the purpose of a conspiracy among the
defendants that the defendants would unjustly enrich themselves, and particularly the Church entities, through the promotion of a fraudulent high yield investment program by promising extremely high returns at little or no risk to principal. 116. The manner and means through which the purpose of the conspiracy was
to be accomplished in substance were as follows: a. It was a part of the conspiracy that Wright, in order to develop
credibility and trust, would and did falsely claim to be an investing genius who had developed a special and secret software program over many years. The
32
Case 12-02544
Doc 39
Desc Main
results of the tests on the development of such software were falsely represented in PMI investor materials to be that "[e]arly on in our development we noticed something interesting; the widely accepted idea that it takes more risk to generate higher returns wasn't proving to be necessarily so." Further, "[i]n years of running real-time test cycles, on every consecutive and improved version of the software, we have repeatedly validated that our technology has the ability to generate higher returns without amplifying risk." b. PMI represented itself as follows: "Portfolio Manager International
LLC is a registered and licensed investment advisor providing remote automated portfolio management and market timing services to investment advisers, private wealth managers, hedge funds, and high net worth individuals. c. PMI further represented about itself: "We developed our
applications to provide clients with a way to reliably and consistently generate superior returns with substantially reduced risk. Period. Everything we do is aimed at serving your investment objectives." d. PMI and Oneiros represented their relationship to be as follows:
"Portfolio Manager International (PMI) retains the exclusive United States software usage rights to Oneiros Technologies' quantitative portfolio management and market timing software applications. PMI is licensed by Oneiros Technologies to operate its software applications in the PMI data center. PMI's technical staff is trained and certified by Oneiros Technologies." e. In a twist on the classic HYIP fraud schemes, rather than
suggesting that the world's best financial institutions were part of the program,
33
Case 12-02544
Doc 39
Desc Main
defendants pointed to those institutions as models for their own program: First the defendants discussed the pre-eminent banks: "Many large banks with proprietary trading departments, investment houses and hedge funds have spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing extremely sophisticated technologies that manage their portfolio monitoring and market timing operations. With superior stock selection methods and real-time analytics of market data they are able to gain a significant edge in the market, an edge most investors will never be able to replicate." Then the defendants proffered themselves as having identical capabilities: "Using real-time stock selection processes, we are able to rapidly locate and take advantage of opportunities that would have otherwise been missed. By constantly screening and evaluating securities that have a higher than average expectancy for outperforming the market, we are able to build optimally diversified portfolios. This helps reduce overall market risk and generate better returns." f. Defendants then falsely cloaked Wright's company, Oneiros, with
legitimacy and credibility, attributing to it the supposedly proprietary system which allowed PMI to operate like the big banks: "The Oneiros system monitors real-time up and down price movements in all stocks contained within an optimally diversified portfolio. Tens of thousands of quantitative and analytic calculations are applied to a portfolio each market day. These processes are constantly working to capture exploitable pricing inefficiencies. During periods of relatively little movement in a single stock or in the market, defensive aspects built into the system protect and preserve accumulated equity."

g.
Defendants utilized a chart ostensibly showing the performance of
PMI active management using the Oneiros system with respect to 50 randomly chosen stocks, versus using a "buy and hold" strategy on those same stocks, and also purporting to show the performance of "the S&P 500 Index" all during the same three-month time period between January 1, 2008 and March 27, 2008. The chart purported to show negative returns on investment of (9.7%) and (14.1%) for the S&P 500 Index and the buy and hold strategy, while showing a 15.7% return over those same three months using the PMI active management strategy. h. Defendants then repeated "Lower Risk Higher Returns" and stated:
"Lower volatility of returns indicates that the superior returns were created with substantially reduced risk. This dispels the idea that an investor must take on more risk if he wishes to receive a better return. Our software and electronic infrastructure have essentially inverted this concept by showing it can provide a far better return with considerably less risk." i. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants PMI,
Oneiros, Wright, Hunter, Williams, Hales and Richardson would and did falsely represent to plaintiffs that they had access to High Yield Investment Programs that could yield anywhere between 5% per month to 24% per month with extremely low risk. j. At least the following representations about high yield returns were
made to plaintiffs, either for the purpose of inducing investment or in the process of executing lulling schemes:

In May 2008, Hales and Williams, at their Wylie Drive
residence, represented to Bagley, on the first occasion they spoke about the investment opportunity, showed Bagley a PMI portfolio brochure stating that investing money in the opportunity would provide a 5% to 8% return on investment each month. ii. In July 2008, Williams represented to Bee, in his first
conversation with her, that PMI was a good investment and that Bagley and Bee could see an 8% to 12% return on investment each month and that a 5% return on investment was guaranteed. iii. In September 2008 Hales provided to Bagley, for the
purpose of showing to Bee, a PMI brochure which stated that a 15.7% return over a three month period of paper trading was observed. During the same time period, Hales represented to Bee that even if PMI didn't make a 5% per month return on investment, which, he stated, was highly unlikely, that Hales and Williams through Bentley Holdings and Bentley Equities, would guarantee a 5% per month return on investment so that Bee and Bagley had no need to worry about their money. iv. On or about January 12, 2009, Bee and Bagley met with
Wright, Hunter, Hales and Williams at the PMI office. Wright gave a 45 minute presentation with several color bar graphs illustrating returns on investment. Wright represented that PMI, through paper trading test runs, had made up to 72% in a 3 month period. Wright represented that the
36

potential was there for investors to make an excellent profit with relatively no risk involved. v. On or about January 16, 2009 Bee met with Williams at a
Beans and Brews. Williams represented that from the continual paper trading tests that PMI was conducting a return on investment of 10% per month could be expected. vi. In or about July 2009, Richardson met with Bee and Bagley
at Mimi's Caf at 5400 South and State Street in Salt Lake City. Richardson represented that Bee and Bagley could expect a return on investment of 5% to 10% per month once PMI got off the ground and that PMI just needed to get all the documentation to cover certain Securities and Exchange Commission requirements. vii. In addition, during the period from May 2009 through
December 2009, Williams, Hales and Richardson sent multiple text messages to Bee and Bagley, representing that similar high yield returns on investment would be forthcoming. k. It was a further part of the conspiracy that the ostensible
relationship between Williams, Hales, Erickson, Bentley Holdings & Investments, LLC, Bentley Holdings, LLC, and Bentley Equities LLC (the "Bentley CoSchemers"), on the one hand, and PMI, Oneiros, Wright and Hunter ("the "PMI Defendants"), on the other hand, was that the Bentley Co-Schemers would act in the role of investment advisers who would bring (1) investors who would invest directly in PMI; and (2) investors for the PMI/Oneiros trading program to PMI.

It was a further part of the conspiracy that Wright would and did
falsely represent to plaintiffs that he had in fact realized a 72% return on investment over a 3 month period in paper trading test runs. m. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants would and
did use Richardson's position as a former registered representative of Fidelity Investments to give their fraudulent scheme the appearance of legitimacy and credibility. n. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants, in an attempt
to give the appearance of legitimacy, would and did present confidentiality agreements to plaintiffs before revealing to them the information about PMI, Oneiros, the trading program and the terms of the investment program. o. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants, in an attempt
to give the appearance of legitimacy, would and did suggest that PMI was awaiting final documentation from the Securities and Exchange Commission to commence trading. p. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants would, and
did, hold an investor meeting at the offices of PMI, in an effort to cloak PMI( with the appearance of legitimacy. q. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants would, and
did, represent that a portion of the proceeds of the operation of PMI would be used for humanitarian purposes, through the donation of water purification systems and the building of housing in Africa, which Plaintiffs now understand to

be related to the defendants plans to unjustly enrich the Church entities by using investments in PMI as a funnel of funds to the Church entities. r. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants would, and
did, claim to be honest, church going, legitimate business people. s. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants would and
did ostensibly allow plaintiffs to invest in a "special" manner not available to other investors, by allowing investment over time rather than a lump sum. Part of this "special" manner of investing consisted of having Bagley use his good credit to obtain a loan on a recreational vehicle, with the proceeds to go to Hales, in exchange for Hales and Williams putting up $20,000.00 of Bagley's investment. t. It was a further part of the conspiracy that when plaintiffs began to
inquire about their investments that the Bentley Co-Schemers, as investment advisers, were to divert such inquiries by the use of fraudulent Note Trading investment opportunities as a lulling scheme which they were to and did represent would recoup monies quickly despite the delays in PMI's operations commencing. u. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants, in an attempt
to lull plaintiffs, represented that their investment funds remained intact and secure in PMI and falsely representing that the delays being encountered in getting PMI up and running were nothing unusual. v. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants, in an attempt
to lull plaintiffs, represented that progress was being made toward completion of the investment.

It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants, in an attempt
to lull plaintiffs, falsely agreed to return the investment funds. x. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants in an attempt
to lull plaintiffs, represented that plaintiffs could obtain current high yield on new investments in Note Trading. y. It was a further part of the conspiracy that defendants, on
information and belief, would and did divert and convert to their own personal use and benefit, or for other unauthorized purposes, the funds fraudulently obtained from plaintiffs. 117. PMI solicited investments in it from Bagley and Bee, ostensibly so as to
obtain working capital to purchase and/or lease "servers" which constituted necessary hardware for the operation of software and the execution of trade orders for its future customers. Such investments in PMI were directly solicited from both Bagley and Bee by each of Wright, Hunter, Hales and Williams. At the time of such solicitations and all other actions and omissions described throughout this complaint, Wright was acting within the course and scope of his agency for both Oneiros and PMI; Hunter was acting within the course and scope of his agency for PMI; and Hales and Williams were acting in the course and scope of their agency for PMI, and also for the Bentley Co-Schemers, which entities in turn were acting within the course and scope of their agency for PMI; and each of the defendants was acting in the course and scope of their agency to the conspiracy which binds all of them together. 118. At the time of such solicitations, no registration statement for the sale of
securities in PMI was on file with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of
40

Desc Main
Securities ("Securities Division"), as required by UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-7, and no exemptions applied to the requirements of that section. 119. Further, Wright, Hunter, PMI, Williams, Hales and Bentley Equities were
not, at the time of the solicitations, licensed with the Securities Division as broker-dealers or agents, nor as investment advisers under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-3. 120. Following certain false representations which had been made as
described above for the purpose of providing a false appearance of legitimacy, solvency and credibility to defendants and the trading scheme, the first direct solicitation to Bagley was made by Williams and Hales, who induced Bagley to invest $30,000.00 on August 21, 2008. The circumstances surrounding that first investment are that, at the urging of Williams and Hales, on July 17, 2008 Bagley wrote an equity line check to himself in the amount of $30,000.00 from Wachovia Bank. He deposited that check into his Wells Fargo account. Wells Fargo put a hold on the check because is was such a large sum and verification of funds had to be completed before it could be withdrawn. On August 21, 2008 Bagley was working at the Verizon store at the University Mall. Bagley went to the University Mall Wells Fargo Branch on his break. Bagley obtained a cashier's check in the amount of $20,000.00 payable to Williams and Bentley Holdings, he also withdrew $10,000.00 cash. Bagley met Williams at the mall. Williams stated that the cashier's check was made out incorrectly. He said it needed to be divided into two separate cashier's checks, one payable to Hales for $10,000.00 and the other payable to Williams for $10,000.00. Bagley had to return to work and the bank was closing so Bagley met Williams after he finished working at the Wells Fargo branch inside the Smith's Marketplace on 11400 South and State Street. Bagley deposited the cashier's
41
Case 12-02544
Doc 39
Desc Main
check back into his account and had two new separate cashier's check issued as Williams requested. 121. During October through December 2008 Hales and Williams put pressure
on Bagley to get Bee to invest in PMI. 122. Following certain false representations which had been made as
described above for the purpose of providing a false appearance of legitimacy, solvency and credibility to defendants and the trading scheme, the first direct solicitation to Bee was made in a meeting at Oneiros and PMI's offices, on or about January 11, 2009, attended by Bagley, Bee, Wright, Hunter, Williams and Hales. During the meeting, Wright identified himself as the Chief Executive Officer of Oneiros and Hunter identified himself as the President, Program Manager and Director of PMI. The meeting had been arranged by Williams and Hales for the purpose of having PMI solicit investments of Bagley and Bee's retirement savings. 123. PMI required Bee and Bagley to execute Confidentiality Agreements prior
to the beginning of the meeting. During the meeting, Wright described the interrelationship of Oneiros, PMI and Bentley Equities. Wright made it sound as though Bentley Equities and its principals, Williams and Hales, were an integral part of the trading business that was to be conducted using the computer servers. It was further disclosed by Wright that a proprietary stock trading program had been developed which would read stock market activity and make investments in stocks according to parameters established by Wright. Wright made representations about PMI's future plans for its business and numbers in the range of $5 million were discussed as
42
Case 12-02544
Doc 39
Desc Main
amounts that were expected to be traded for customers through the PMI stock trading program. 124. Bee and Bagley expressed concern in light of the fact that they were
investing funds earmarked for their retirement and due to the fact that neither Bee nor Bagley had any substantial background in investing in the stock market. 125. It was then explained to Bee and Bagley that they could invest directly in
PMI, through the servers, or that they could invest in the stock market through the proprietary PMI trading program. 126. Either way, it was represented to Bee and Bagley that Bentley Equities
role would be to receive investment monies directly from Bee and Bagley on behalf of PMI for the purpose of channeling it to PMI, as had been done for other investors. PMI, Wright, Hunter and Oneiros thereby cloaked Hales and Williams, and their companies including without limitation Bentley Equities, LLC, Bentley Holdings & Investments, LLC and Bentley Holdings, LLC with the appearance of legitimacy and solvency and with an agency relationship with PMI, Oneiros, Wright and Hunter, whom they had agreed to act for as agents in collecting Bee and Bagley's investment funds. All of the representations made by Wright during the meeting were confirmed by Hunter, Williams and Hales overtly or through their silence. 127. The January 11, 2009 meeting was left off with Williams and Hales to
pursue the investment by Bagley and Bee. 128. Following up on the January 11, 2009 meeting, Williams arranged for a
meeting with Bee. Williams met with Bee or about January 16, 2009 at Beans and Brews to deliver paperwork for Bee and Bagley to investment in PMI. Williams did not
43

Doc 39

have the paperwork on him at the time of this meeting. Williams told Bee to make her check payable to Hales and that the paperwork would be delivered within a week. Bee gave Williams a check payable to Hales in the amount of $30,00.00, she also gave Williams $20,000.00 in cash. The cash was money Bee had been saving up for emergencies for the past 10 years. 129. Shortly thereafter, Hales requested of Bagley that he obtain financing
secured by a recreational vehicle by way of a loan from Zions Bank, for the purpose of giving the financed funds to Hales for investment in PMI. Bagley was to receive from Hales the sum of $20,000.00 for providing the creditworthiness for the transaction and Hales agreed to apply that sum towards Bagley's investment in PMI. Bagley procured such financing on or about January 31, 2009 and Bagley gave all the proceeds of that loan, in the approximate amount of $45,071.29, to allow Hales to invest in PMI. 130. The January 2009 meeting with Williams was followed by an investor open
house at PMI in or about February, 2009. Wright, Hunter, and some persons represented to be PMI technicians were in attendance. New servers appeared to be in place and new technical personnel were represented to have been hired. Both Wright and Hunter expressed excitement about getting the stock trading program started. At the open house, Wright represented to Bee and Bagley that Richardson, the manager of BE, had been an experienced and licensed stock broker with experience through a major stock brokerage, Fidelity Investments. 131. Williams represented that PMI needed the funds now for the servers that
were needed before PMI could get on line. However, he assured Bee that she would be paid on the investment just like the people who were investing in the actual trading plan.

Hales and Williams wanted a $100,000.00 investment from Bee and
Bagley. Bagley and the defendants agreed that Brian would purchase an RV for the benefit of the defendants. Defendants would pay the monthly payments and insurance on the RV. After a few months the RV would be sold, the loan on the RV paid off and Brian would receive $20,000.00 to invest in PMI for his assistance in obtaining the loan and helping defendant's gain capital that they could invest. The original amount of the RV loan was $45,071.29. 133. Promissory Note dated October 1, 2009 shows that Bentley Holdings &
Investments borrowed $100,000.00 from BeeBag Holdings & Investments LLC. 134. Bee and Bagley were also involved with note trading with Hales and
Williams for investing with Otis Oil. On April 22, 2009 Plaintiffs gave Hales a cashier's check in the amount of $15,000.00. Plaintiffs were reimbursed without interest on April 27, 2009, but that check bounced. A new check in the amount of $15,000.00 was deposited on May 11. 135. On May 13, 2009 plaintiffs gave Hales a cashier's check in the amount of
$15,000.00. Plaintiffs were reimbursed and deposited a check from Vision Capital in the amount of $17,500.00, the amount of the original investment plus $2,500.00 in interest. 136. On May 22, 2009 plaintiffs gave Hale a cashier's checks in the amount of
$10,000.00 and $15,000.00 for a total of $25,000.00. Plaintiffs were reimbursed with a check in the amount of $30,000.00. At that time Hales asked Bagley for $1,000.00 cash. Bagley deposited the $30,000.00 into his Wells Fargo account and gave Hales $1,000.00 in cash.

Since June 2009, Bagley and Bee have requested information from
Williams about PMI. Bagley and Bee were told not to bother PMI or to talk with Wright because Mike is a hot-head and loses his temper. He doesn't even know what he says when he gets mad. Bee related that comment to Wright about the $100,000.00 investment with PMI. Wright attempted to deny involvement, stating: Hell, I don't know what Chris did with your money. He may have paid a house payment with it. At this juncture, in June 2009, Bee suspected for the first time that something might be awry. 145. In July 2009 Bee met with Richardson at Mimi's Caf to find out
information as to why there were so many delays on monthly payouts from PMI and what the expectations for payouts would be. Richardson stated that it looked possible for Bee and Bagley to make 5% to 10% per month once PMI got off the ground and that they were just needing to get all the documentation to cover certain SEC requirements. Richardson said he did not have the documentation with him but that he would bring it with him the next time they met. Bagley met with Richardson the following week in the Oyster Bar parking lot in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, where Richardson said he would deliver documentation for Bee and Bagley to fill out to show that they were accredited investors. 146. Bee spoke with Hunter in December 2009 at which time Hunter explained
that the real time live trading had not occurred until November 4, 2009, ran for two weeks, then there had been a Thanksgiving break, and it had just been up for two days when prior to the conversation. Hunter stated that December was slow and that not a lot of activity would be going on until after January 1, 2010.

Richardson called Bagley to set up a meeting after several requests from
Bagley to get documentation on PMI and the Bee and Bagley investments with PMI. The meeting date was December 28, 2009. Bee and Bagley arrived early and could not get in the door, so they texted Richardson, who in turn called Hunter, who unlocked the door. Bee and Bagley went upstairs with Hunter and advised Wright that his headlights were on in the parking lot. Bee and Bagley sat at the meeting table and waited for Richardson. Hunter gave a brief overview of how PMI was supposedly functioning. Then Wright discussed Oneiros as the parent company with PMI a branch off of it. Wright asked what contacts plaintiffs had with Hales, and amounts of money that plaintiffs had invested in PMI through Hales. Wright confirmed that Hales had invested money with PMI but asserted that it was not anywhere near the amount you are talking about. Bee asked whether her call to Wright in July had been the first red-flag and if he had others. Wright said that there was another couple who had spoken to him about investments they had made in PMI through Hales. Wright attempted to divert attention from he and PMI, stating that he, Wright, was concerned that Hales and Williams were operating a fraudulent investment scheme. Wright then asked Bee and Bagley to indemnify Wright, Hunter, PMI and Oneiros in exchange for helping Bee and Bagley go after Hales and Williams. Wright said that he would then have his attorneys present Bee and Bagley's situation to the Utah Court system as well as the similar situation of other people. Wright said that he felt that there may be several more people who have invested money through Hales and Williams and that there might be a Ponzi scheme. Wright asked that Bee and Bagley turn over to him all of their documentation of their dealings with Hales and Williams. Wright said that he was concerned that his
49

company could be misconstrued as having been a part of a fraudulent investment scheme. 148. At or around the same December 2009 meeting at PMI about 5 or 6
minutes before Richardson had to leave, Bee mentioned money that Bee and Bagley had given Hales and Williams for investing in Otis Oil. Richardson said he did not think Hales invested money there unless it was through yet another company, called Vision Capital.

Hunter made the representations to Bee and Bagley to induce them to rely
on those misrepresentations. But for those misrepresentations, Bee and Bagley would not have acted as they did in reliance thereon. 154. As a result of the false pretenses, artifices, false representations and
actual fraud described above, Bee and Bagley, acting reasonably and in ignorance of the facts gave money and other things of value to Hunter as described above, acting reasonably and in ignorance of the facts. 155. Bee and Bagley thereby were damaged in amounts to be proven at trial
for which they are entitled to recovery. 156. Bee and Bagleys losses and damages were proximately caused by
Hunters false pretenses, artifices, false representations and actual fraud. 157. Accordingly, Bee and Bagleys claims against Hunter as set forth herein,

Hunter and Kimberly, in paragraph 18 of the Statement of Financial Affairs (Bankruptcy Case No. 12-26860, Docket No. 2, at page 27 of 36), under penalty of perjury, falsely and fraudulently described Hunters business, PMI, as having the nature of business being Business Consulting and so operating between January 2006 and October 2011. The false and fraudulent description of the nature of PMIs business, the millions of dollars of assets that flowed into or were controlled by it during its operations and the absolute failure to explain what happened to the hundreds of thousands of dollars of PMIs hard assets, in the form of computer servers and equipment, at least some and perhaps all of which is Hunters sole property upon PMIs winding up and therefore part of the debtors estate, the willful concealment of the existence of these assets by failing to list as creditors or even give notice of the bankruptcy to Bee and Bagley until after the Trustee filed his no asset report, which was done deliberately with the intent to conceal the true facts from the Trustee, the failure to turn over documents evidencing the assets of the dissolved PMI that belong to Hunter, the failure to disclose that Wright and Oneiros have taken their proprietary trading program which was exclusively licensed to PMI and now seek to license it in conjunction with the continuing FOREX trading, ongoing component of the Ponzi scheme all fit within the statutory bases to deny a discharge to the debtors. 163. There has been no account given for the assets of PMI remaining upon its
dissolution and winding up, which assets are part of the debtors estate. 164. Accordingly, the Court should deny a discharge to the debtors under 11

and Bagley to the extent they were made after Bee and Bagleys claims against PMI arose and they were made to such insiders for an antecedent debt. 168. PMI was insolvent at all times because it was operated as a Ponzi scheme
and all the insiders knew it. 169. PMIs transfers were made, or obligations incurred by it, without receiving
a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfers or obligations. 170. In addition, all transfers of PMI and obligations incurred by it were made
with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the creditors of PMI; or without receiving a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfer or obligation and PMI: (I) was engaged or was about to engage in a business or a transaction for which the remaining assets of PMI were unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction; or (ii) intended to incur, or believed or reasonably should have believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they became due. 171.

an association-in-fact of entities as depicted in the Handwritten Fraud Organization Chart drawn by defendant Wright and attached hereto as Exhibit B. In the alternative, 55

the association-in-fact consists of Oneiros, PMI, Wright, Hunter, Hales, Williams, Richardson, Volition, Lucidity, the Church, the Utah Mission, the Utah Church and other persons who performed specific functions in the organization that formed a criminal organization with a defined structure, that was ultimately led by the Church, is the Enterprise or, as the final alternative, PMI itself is not a person but instead is the Enterprise. PLAINTIFFS' STANDING TO SUE 176. Plaintiffs have standing to pursue claims against the co-conspirator
defendants for violations of 18 U.S.C. 1962, because they have been injured in their property by reason of those violations, as follows: INVESTMENT INJURY INCURRED BY REASON OF VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. 1962(a) 177. Each of the co-conspirator defendants operated as a funding source for
the Enterprise and has, in furtherance of the conspiracy, received income, directly or indirectly, from a pattern of racketeering activity consisting of, inter alia, mail fraud, wire fraud, Theft by Deception under UTAH CODE ANN. 76-6-405, chargeable as a felony under UTAH CODE ANN. 76-6-405, in that each occurrence of theft involved the obtaining of a thing of value exceeding $1,000.00, Communications Fraud chargeable as a felony under UTAH CODE ANN. 76-10-1801 in that each occurrence of the obtaining of a thing of value was for a value exceeding $1,000.00, Money Laundering under UTAH CODE ANN. 76-10-1903, chargeable as a felony under UTAH CODE ANN. 76-10-1904, Unlawful Dealing of Property by a Fiduciary, under UTAH CODE ANN. 76-6-513, chargeable as a felony under that section in that each occurrence of the obtaining of a thing of value was for a value exceeding $1,000.00, Securities Fraud 56

under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-1, -2, -3, -7, -16, each chargeable as a felony under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-21(2). The defendants reinvested the funds obtained from plaintiffs and other victims, directly or indirectly, in the Enterprise, for use in funding further fraudulent activities and procuring funds from additional victims and thus to operate the Enterprise, the activities of which affect interstate commerce, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1962(a). The predicate acts involved numerous wire transfers, text messages and e-mails, transmitted across state lines and over the interstate wires, each such transmission being an essential step in the plot and/or related to subsequent lulling schemes. 178. By reason of the defendants use and investment of the racketeering
proceeds in the Enterprise, the Enterprise was capable of surviving, maintaining its operations and entering into multiple fraudulent transactions with plaintiffs which directly injured plaintiffs in form of (1) the loss of plaintiffs' monies invested; (2) the incurring of debt by Bagley for which he is responsible to Zions First National Bank, NA; (3) the incurring of mental anguish and emotional distress over the loss of their funds, as with other victims. But for the pattern of racketeering activity through which those illicit proceeds of racketeering were generated, the Enterprise would have failed and plaintiffs would not have been injured in such a fashion. PREDICATE ACT INJURY INCURRED BY REASON OF THE CONDUCT OF THE AFFAIRS OF AN ENTERPRISE, IN VIOLATION OF 18 U.S.C. 1962(c) 179. Plaintiffs also have been injured by reason of the co-conspirator
defendants' employment by or association with the Enterprise, because their participation, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the Enterprise's affairs, through a
57

pattern of racketeering activity has directly resulted in the plaintiffs'(1) accumulation of debt without receiving any benefit; and (2) losing the funds they invested through the persons who committed the crimes alleged. PREDICATE ACTS OF RACKETEERING ACTIVITY 180. All of the actions of each co-conspirator defendant were taken for and on
behalf of the Enterprise thereby making each person chargeable for the predicate acts of each other person. 181. Each time the defendants procured monies from either of the plaintiffs or
other victims and invested such funds in the Enterprise the defendants, together and as co-conspirators, committed each of the predicate acts described above. 182. Each defendant has engaged in the commission of at least two predicate
acts in furtherance of the object of the conspiracy and operation of the enterprise that form part of the pattern of racketeering activity as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1961, evidenced by at least the following known specific acts and communications in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341 (Mail Fraud); 18 U.S.C. 1343 (Wire Fraud); 18 U.S.C. 2314 (Transportation of stolen goods, securities, moneys, fraudulent State tax stamps, or articles used in counterfeiting); or a violation of UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-1(2), -3(1), -7, -17(2), and/or a rule or order under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-15, and/or a condition imposed under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-10(4) or 11(7), which violations are chargeable under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-21 as a third degree felony:

Hunter (UT) sent an email to Williams (UT) with an attached schematic Mike [Wright] put together on the Strategic Alliance Idea. The schematic outlined the process by which the co-conspirators obtained a loan for their LLC entity from an investor. The schematic explains the following process: Lender and the Borrower both set up a two signature bank wire restricted bank account. This account becomes the originating account that funds a brokerage account. The brokerage cannot cross wire and must wire back through the originating account so any funds that come from the brokerage account will be locked up in the two signature bank wire only bank account which protects the lender. The brokerage account is funded with the $10 million via the bank account. A $1 million cash reserve account is set up inside the brokerage account. The brokerage account is then leveraged to 18 million which is 180%. PMI with its software and electronic infrastructure build the portfolios and manage the 18 million and set a total liquidation account trigger at 5% or $900,000 on the 18 million being managed. The borrower or another 3rd party agrees to fund a one million dollar reserve account inside the brokerage account-via the two signature bank wire only account. Since PMI has total liquidation trigger of 5% on $900K on the 18 million, in the brokerage account this million dollars would be used to offset such a loss and so restore the lender back to 10 million.

PMI would also receive a fee to go towards its monthly operating costs. When we are up and running, we anticipate our monthly costs will be $60,000 and our idea was to have our Strategic Alliance with Sage pay for 1/3rd of that or $20,000. Email communications between B.

In the letter, Wright states that "[t]he first and main reason [PMI was organized] was to be a legal insulator or buffer to Oneiros Technologies...The second reason was to provide a way for individuals who were helping us in terms of finance and advice to have a way to use our technology without requiring PMI to get involved in the licensing requirements of the SEC...[s]ince PMI has been organized as an LLC, its member's [sic] liability is limited and because it would have a limited number of assets, it would be a much less juicy target for some possible SP's actions." B. Hunter (UT) sent an email to James DArezzo (CA) and identified $346,000.00 in loans to PMI from Greg Kingdon, Michael Wright and Barry Hunter and also references loans to PMI from David Peterson, Alan Farr, Tom Burton and Sandor Szaniszlo

Each of the preceding predicate acts was an essential step in the plot
towards the execution, operation and fulfillment of the object of the conspiracy, either by way of being an essential component of the fraud scheme or as an essential component of lulling schemes designed to prevent and/or delay detection of the fraud. 185. Further, the foregoing is expressly not intended to encompass all of the
predicate acts committed by the defendants, for it is anticipated that additional acts will be uncovered in discovery and that additional analysis of the structure, organization and operation of the enterprise and of the conspiracy will yield other bases to allege predicate acts, such as, by way of example only and not by way of limitation, the additional of felony charges under state law. EXTERNAL PATTERN/MULTIPLE VICTIMS 186. Plaintiffs know that the predicate acts forming a pattern with respect to
their victimization are only part of an external pattern of commission of predicate acts by which others have been victimized for the following reasons: a. above; b. Plaintiffs were told by Williams and Hales that those other victims Plaintiffs met other target victims at the PMI function described
had likewise placed investments in PMI on behalf of other victims; c. Email communications between the co-conspirators revealed the

closed-ended continuity. 189. The predicate acts exhibit closed-ended continuity in that they occur
regularly, they are high in number, they occur with frequency over an extended period of time and they involve multiple victims, of which the plaintiffs were only one pair. 190. The predicate acts also exhibit open-ended continuity, in that the fraud

soliciting further investment from Bee just within one month of the filing of the State Court Action. 191. Because the time frame of the schemes is indefinite and has the potential

damage to the plaintiffs by reason of the respective violations of 18 U.S.C. 1962(a), (b) and (c), as described above. 195. Each co-conspirator defendant is, therefore, jointly and severally liable to
the plaintiffs for all damages incurred by them and all relief available to the plaintiffs for the violations of each of those sections as set forth in more detail above. 196. Defendants violations have been the cause-in-fact and legal cause of
damages to plaintiffs in the sum of not less than $300,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. 197. In addition, a reasonably foreseeable consequential damage to each of
the plaintiffs as the result of their financial devastation caused by the defendants is extreme emotional distress and mental anguish, for which plaintiffs are each entitled to 94

judgment in the sum of not less than $1,000,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. 198. The plaintiffs are entitled to recover from the conspirator defendants,
jointly and severally, three times the amount of their damages plus pre-judgment interest, together with all attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, under 18 U.S.C. 1964(c). COUNT V (BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY - AGAINST PMI, ONEIROS, WRIGHT, HUNTER, HALES) 199. 200. Bagley and Bee incorporate all previous allegations. The co-conspirator defendants, together with their co-conspirators the
Bentley Entities, Hales, Richardson, Williams, Hunter, PMI, Lucidity and Volition, purported to act as investment advisers for plaintiffs and therefore owed plaintiffs a fiduciary duty. 201. The foregoing facts demonstrate that the co-conspirator defendants each
breached such fiduciary duty. 202. One or more unlawful, overt acts were committed by each co-conspirator
defendant in furtherance of the object of the Conspiracy. 203. Such breaches are the cause-in fact and legal cause of damages to
plaintiffs in the sum of not less than $300,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. 204. In addition, a reasonably foreseeable consequential damage to each of
the plaintiffs as the result of their financial devastation caused by the defendants is extreme emotional distress and mental anguish, for which plaintiffs are each entitled to

judgment in the sum of not less than $1,000,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. 205. Plaintiffs are also entitled to an appropriate award of punitive damages
against each of the conspirator defendants as the proof may show. COUNT VI (CIVIL CONSPIRACY - AGAINST ALL DEFENDANTS) 206. 207. Bagley and Bee incorporate all previous allegations. Each co-conspirator defendant entered into a combination of two or more
persons to accomplish the object of the Conspiracy as set forth above. 208. Each co-conspirator defendant reached a meeting of the minds on the
object of the Conspiracy and on one or more courses of action as described above. 209. One or more unlawful, overt acts were committed by each co-conspirator
defendant in furtherance of the object of the Conspiracy. 210. The unlawful, overt acts of the co-conspirators, in furtherance of the object
of the conspiracy, have been the cause-in-fact and legal cause of damages to plaintiffs in the sum of not less than $300,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. 211. In addition, a reasonably foreseeable consequential damage to each of
the plaintiffs as the result of their financial devastation caused by the co-conspirator defendants is extreme emotional distress and mental anguish, for which plaintiffs are each entitled to judgment in the sum of not less than $1,000,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. 212. Plaintiffs are also entitled to an appropriate award of punitive damages
against each of the co-conspirator defendants as the proof may show. 96

COUNT VII (CIVIL LIABILITY FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE UTAH UNIFORM SECURITIES ACT UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-22 - AGAINST ALL DEFENDANTS EXCEPT CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY OF UTAH, CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, CYNTHIA AND KIMBERLY) 213. 214. Bagley and Bee incorporate all previous allegations. The named co-conspirator defendants, and each of them, offered or sold
securities to Bagley and Bee in violation of UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-1(2), -3(1), -7, -17(2), and/or a rule or order under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-15, which requires the affirmative approval of sales literature before it is used, and/or a condition imposed under UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-10(4) or 11(7). 215. The named co-conspirator defendants, and each of them, are liable to
Bagley and Bee. 216. Bagley and Bee elect to recover the consideration paid for the securities,
together with interest at 12% per year from the date of payment, costs, and reasonable attorney fees. 217. Bagley and Bee hereby tender the return of such securities to the co-
conspirator defendants, and each of them. 218. In addition, because each of the violations of UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-1(2)
by each of the named co-conspirator defendants were reckless and intentional, Bagley and Bee are each entitled to three times the consideration paid for the securities, together with interest, costs, and attorney fees. 219. Each of the representations of material fact detailed above was false when
it was made, in that there was no viable software which virtually eliminated the risk of securities investment and which guaranteed profits of no less that 5% per month and
97
Case 12-02544

Desc Main
could make up to a 72% return on investment over three months. Moreover, all the misrepresentations made to cloak the conspirators with legitimacy were false in that none of the conspirators were legitimate business persons nor did any of the businesses operate legitimately, having all been funded with the proceeds of fraud. The conspirators had not complied with the securities laws and had no intention of complying. The conspirators had no intention of supporting charities. Although representing themselves as investment advisers, none of the individual defendants in fact were registered with the state of Utah as investment advisers. The representations about the nearness of PMI commencing its wonderful program were all false. The representations about compliance with the securities laws were false in that no registration statements were filed, no adequate disclosures made and, of course, misrepresentations and omissions of material fact were being made. 220. Numerous material omissions were also made in conjunction with the offer
and sale of securities to Bee and Bagley, including the failure to advise Bee and Bagley that the conspirators were defrauding them, that the High Yield Investment Program was a fraud scheme, that none of the conspirators had complied with the securities laws, that the idea of a trading program that could eliminate risk from market trading was a fantasy and not legitimate, that the investments were actually the highest risk investments which could be made, that they were unsuitable for plaintiffs' investment objectives, that the delays in implementation were the result of the true fact that no implementation would ever be made as represented, that no proprietary software in fact existed, that no legitimate licenses in fact existed, that Hales and Williams were operating numerous businesses and supporting their lifestyles through a pattern of fraud

schemes, that Wright was a real estate developer and not a computer programmer or securities expert, that the only "humanitarian" work that was going to occur was in the interest of the conspirators, that the Note Trading was part of a lulling scheme as were the assurances that the investments were secure and numerous others. 221. Plaintiffs are thus entitled to judgment against the named co-conspirator
defendants for defendants' making of any untrue statements of material fact and defendants' omission to state material facts necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading with respect to is purchase of plaintiff's securities, pursuant to UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-22, for all damages caused thereby, including consequential damages, in the sum of not less than $300,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial, together with interest thereon from July 2, 2007 forward at the statutory rate of 12% per annum, together with all of plaintiff's reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses incurred herein. 222. Because the named co-conspirators conduct as pleaded was reckless or
intentional, plaintiff is entitled to have the judgment against plaintiff tripled in amount, pursuant to UTAH CODE ANN. 61-1-22(2), resulting in a judgment against defendant and in favor of plaintiff in a total sum of not less than $900,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial, together with interest thereon from July 2, 2007 forward at the statutory rate of 12 % per annum, together with all of plaintiff's reasonable attorney fees, costs and expenses incurred herein. 223. In addition, a reasonably foreseeable consequential damage to each of
the plaintiffs as the result of their financial devastation caused by the co-conspirator

defendants is extreme emotional distress and mental anguish, for which plaintiffs are each entitled to judgment in the sum of not less than $1,000,000.00, or such other and greater sum as may be proven at trial. COUNT VIII (ALTER EGO AGAINST WRIGHT, MADSEN, ONEIROS, CYNTHIA, CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY OF UTAH, CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY MISSION OF SALT LAKE CITY, CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY INTERNATIONAL) 224. 225. Bagley and Bee incorporate all previous allegations. PMI was formed to operate and did operate a high yield investment
program as part of a series of Ponzi schemes. 226. From its formation through its cessation of business, PMI was
undercapitalized. 227. Although PMI purported to be, at times, owned by Hunter, Burton,
D'Arezzo, Farr, Hites, Kingdon, Petersen, Stowe and/or Szaniszlo, and controlled by Hunter, in fact PMI was formed and existed in order for Wright to oversee and control the generation of funds to be paid to one or more of the Church of Scientology of Utah, the Church of Scientology Mission of Salt Lake City and the Church of Scientology International. 228. PMI failed to recognize the formalities of operating as a limited liability
company, with irregular shifting of memberships, additions and withdrawals of members, unclear management, operating entirely within the offices of Oneiros, sharing personnel, and a variety of other sham factors. 229. Plaintiffs believe that no legitimate distributions were made to members
and that any funds received by members were illegal repayments of capital.
100
Case 12-02544
Doc 39

230.
Plaintiffs believe that all material funds of PMI were largely siphoned off to
Wright and Oneiros, who were in actual control of PMI, and in turn siphoned in part to Cynthia, Madsen, Church of Scientology of Utah, Church of Scientology Mission of Salt Lake City, Church of Scientology. 231. Despite purporting to have multiple members, non-members Wright and
Oneiros provided the only true functional management of PMI. 232. PMI has an absence of adequate records to explain where the large pools
of capital that purported to be infused into it and the funds generated from its high yield investment program actually went. In fact, it is believed that a part of PMIs operations were conduction through other entities which collected funds from victims and paid some or all of those funds to PMI directly or indirectly in such a fashion as to scrub, launder or conceal the sources and uses of funds. 233. PMI never operated as a legitimate business and plaintiffs believe that
PMI always operated as a facade for Wright, Madsen, Oneiros, Cynthia, Church of Scientology of Utah, Church of Scientology Mission of Salt Lake City and Church of Scientology International. 234. The misuse of PMIs purported limited liability existence to further the
wishes of the persons who controlled it operated and operates to promote injustice and fraud. 235. Plaintiffs are entitled to a declaration that PMI was and is an alter ego of,
at a minimum, and possibly more, Wright, Madsen, Oneiros, Cynthia, the Church of Scientology of Utah, the Church of Scientology Mission of Salt Lake City and the
101

Church of Scientology International and that each of those persons is fully liable for all of the debt of PMI, including all sums owing to plaintiffs. WHEREFORE, plaintiffs demand judgment in their favor, and against defendants, jointly and severally as applicable, as follows: A. For a determination of the debt owed to Bee and Bagley by Hunter and
Kimberly and a determination that such debt is non-dischargeable; B. For a determination that the Debtors, Hunter and Kimberly, should be
denied a discharge; C. For such relief against each defendant as the particular proof may show
entitlement, legally, equitably, by statute or otherwise, including without limitations all forms and nature of damages; D. E. F. For trebling as may be allowed; For punitive damages as may be allowed; For orders of relief of rescission, alter ego, replevin, restitution,
receivership, injunction or otherwise and for the avoidance and set aside of transfers and orders of turnover to the debtors estate of the assets transferred and of each such alter ego as needed to satisfy the estates creditors; G. For all of plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses, as may
be allowed at law, in equity, by contract, statute, rule, inherent power of the Court or otherwise, both before and after judgment; and H. For all such other and further relief to which the proof at trial may show
entitlement or which the Court otherwise deems just, equitable and proper in the premises.
