On March 10, 2010, Veltex's attorneys filed a 96-page federal complaint on behalf of Veltex Corporation in the United States District Court, Central District of California (Western Division - Los Angeles) entitled, Veltex Corporation vs. Javeed Azziz Matin et al, case number 2:10-cv-01746-ABC-PJW. That case alleged damages from 22 individual and corporate defendants. The federal litigation outlined a massive fraudulent conveyance and transfer count wherein millions of dollars of corporate assets were stolen by the named defendants.

The amount of the final award exceeded $102 million in which $100,078,621 in fraudulent conveyance and transfer damages to the corporation was found. The Court further ordered $793,442.86 in prejudgment interest to be paid to Veltex. The Court also ordered $2,005,172.42 in attorney's fees along with cost and expenses of $3,859.95 bringing the total amount of the award to $102,881,096.23. The award will also carry post judgment interest annually as calculated by Federal rules. The Court also found certain defendants to be liable to Veltex both jointly and severally. The Court will retain jurisdiction over all other defendants who had previously settled with Veltex. Certain defendants had settled with Veltex under strict confidential settlement agreements.

Veltex retained the Los Angeles law firm of Blecher & Collins PC. to bring the complaint, on behalf of the corporation, in California federal court. Lead attorneys Maxwell M. Blecher, Maryann R.
