The auction was held on September 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Northern Mariana Islands.-\u00a0Clear Management\u00a0has requested approval of the sales made in the sixth auction of Imperial Pacific International (IPI)’s gaming equipment. It has also requested related commissions, expenses and attorney’s fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auction was conducted on September 8 and saw successful bids from four purchasers, totalling US$100,539. Certain items failed to secure bids that met their reserve prices, prompting their inclusion in a subsequent auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clear Management seeks a commission of 10 per cent on the successful bids, amounting to US$10,053.90. The receiver is requesting approval for expenses incurred from August 1 to September 8 totalling US$25,097.73. An order for attorney’s fees and expenses incurred through July 31 amounting to US$1,352.40, is also part of the court petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auctions were mandated by a federal court as part of the receivership granted to IPI\u2019s former contractor, USA Fanter Corp, which\u00a0filed a lawsuit against IPI for unpaid materials and services<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Joshua Gray, IPI’s former director of operations,\u00a0is seeking receivership proceedings<\/a> to satisfy a judgement won in a discrimination lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0against the casino operator. Century Estate Investment Limited<\/a>, a British Virgin Islands-based investment firm that loaned IPI US$9m, is contesting the appointment, arguing that its case should take precedence. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The auction was held on September 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":17419,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Clear Management has sought court approval for the sales and associated fees from the sixth auction of Imperial Pacific International (IPI)'s gaming equipment, which generated over US$100,000.
