Description:

This is the answer filed by one of the defendants to a complex federal lawsuit filed against the guarantor of a $1 million dollar loan who refused to pay it after the principal defaulted. Motions to dismiss were not filed with the answer, but were filed later and are archived here on the Opticon. The lawsuit sought $40 million in damages, and alleges the following causes of action: common law fraud, conversion, aiding and abetting common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, civil conspiracy, RICO, pattern of unlawful activity, violation of the Utah Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of guarantee, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and breach of duty to account. The answer filed against this complaint is also archived here on the Opticon, as are the motions to dismiss by the defendant. It is in PDF format, and is 33 pages without the attachments, which are not included (and not necessary for others). No counter claims were made in this answer.
