Description:

The Receiver brings this action1 in his capacity as Receiver for the Receivership Entities to recover amounts stolen from the Receivership Entities and misused by Quiros, owner of Q Resorts, and William Stenger ("Stenger"), president and CEO of Jay Peak, a Vermont ski resort owned by Q Resorts. Raymond James assisted Quiros and Stenger in stealing and misusing funds of various Receivership Entities by actively enabling Quiros and Stenger's intricate web of transfers and margin loans to defraud many of the Receivership Entities. Through their fraudulent scheme and with the aid of Raymond James, Quiros and Stenger have misused over $200 million and systematically looted over $50 million of the more than $350 million that has been raised from hundreds of investors through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.
