PETITION NO. 22
RECEIVER’S PETITION TO MAKE
THIRD INTERIM DISTRIBUTION TO APPROVED CLAIMANTS
Kelly M. Crawford, as the court-appointed Receiver, petitions the Court for authorization
to make a third interim distribution to Approved Claimants, and in support thereof respectfully
shows the Court as follows:
I.
1.
The Order Granting Plaintiff’s Ex parte Emergency Motion for a Statutory
Restraining Order, Appointment of a Temporary Receiver, Expedited Discovery, and Order to
Show Cause Regarding a Preliminary Injunction, and Other Equitable Relief (the “SRO”)
authorizes the Receiver to “…compromise…any actions…to preserve or increase the assets of

Defendants or Relief Defendants necessary to carry out the duties pursuant to this Order.”
Paragraph VI, 29A(i) of SRO.
2.
On March 10, 2014 the Court entered an Order approving the Receiver’s
distribution plan, allowing the Receiver to make priority distributions on a pro rata basis to
Approved Claimants who were investors in the Revelation Forex Fund [Docket No. 89]. The
Court approved claims totaling $7,012,2671 held by the Approved Claimants.
3.
In that same Order the Court authorized the Receiver to make an initial interim
distribution to the Approved Claimants in the total amount of $3,085,398, which represented
payment of 44% of the total approved claims of $7,012.267. Pursuant to the order, the Receiver
made the initial interim distribution to the Approved Claimants.
4.
On July 29, 2014, the Court authorized the Receiver to make a second interim
distribution to Approved Claimants in the total amount of $560,981, which represented an
additional payment of 8% of the total approved claims of $7,012,267 [Docket No. 124].
Pursuant to the order, the Receiver made the second interim distribution to the Approved
Claimants. The two interim distributions made to date equal a 52% repayment to the Approved
Claimants of their total loss.
5.
The receivership account currently has a balance of $194,690. Of that amount,
$94,755 is encumbered as accrued liabilities for administrative expenses of the receivership.
Accordingly, the Receiver seeks authority to distribute $95,002 to the Approved Claimants on a
pro rata basis pursuant to the Court approved Distribution Plan and as shown on the schedule
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. This third interim distribution
1
The total amount of claims is $7,012,267, and the net amount of claims approved by the Court in the Receiver’s
proposed Distribution Plan is $7,006,007 because it takes into account a $5,409 payment of false profits to one
claimant. This payment of false profits was returned by the claimant to the receivership.

Case 4:13-cv-00382-RAS-DDB Document 152 Filed 05/01/15 Page 3 of 4 PageID #: 2089
will represent an additional payment of 1.35% of the total approved claims of $7,012,267, and
will bring the total amount returned to Approved Claimants from 52% to 53.35%.
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Receiver requests the Court to enter an
Order authorizing the Receiver to make a third interim distribution to Approved Claimants as
shown in the scheduled attached hereto as Exhibit A, and provide the Receiver such other and
further relief at law or in equity to which the Receiver may be justly entitled.
