The plaintiffs brought a motion for a Mareva injunction and a Norwich Order against the defendants, alleging they were defrauded of $775,000 through a fake cannabis business investment scheme.
The court found a strong prima facie case of fraud and a serious risk of asset dissipation, granting the Mareva injunction to freeze the defendants' assets.
The court also granted a Norwich Order compelling third-party financial institutions to produce banking records to trace the misappropriated funds.
