In 2006, Spiral, Inc., refinanced their portfolio of investment companies. The $65M debt obligation along with the deteriorating assets caused by the economic recession led to the appointment of a receiver.

Executed thorough forensic accounting to determine misappropriation of funds in favor of the receivership estates. Utilized appropriate steps for defendant contempt actions regarding receivership order violations.
Result
Resolute conducted the successful sale of the marketable assets for the receivership estate with approximately 64% of debt recovered.
