Information Regarding Electronic Proof Of Claim Forms Mailed Out November 19, 2025
Pursuant to the Court’s October 2, 2025, Order referenced below, the Receiver, working with her agent Simpluris, has begun the Claims Process. On November 19, 2026, the Receiver mailed each known investor a postcard advising of the claims procedure and the steps to retrieve an electronic Proof of Claim Form. The postcard also contains your Unique ID and PIN number necessary to access the Proof of Claim Form. If you did not receive a postcard from the Receivership and you believe that you should have received one, please contact Simpluris, the Receiver’s claims administrator, by emailing: admin@hcreceivershipclaims.com or by calling 1-833-360-6851. Alternatively, you may obtain information regarding the claims process by clicking here.
If you believe you may have a claim arising out of or in any way related to the acts, conduct, or activities of the Receivership Entities, you MUST submit a Proof of Claim Form by one of the approved submission methods as set forth in the Proof of Claim Form. FOR INVESTORS, THIS IS THE PROCEDURE BY WHICH YOU MAY SEEK TO RECOVER FOR YOUR LOSSES FROM THE RECEIVERSHIP.
THE CLAIMS BAR DATE IS FEBRUARY 2, 2026. ANY PERSON OR ENTITY WHO FAILS TO SUBMIT A PROOF OF CLAIM TO THE RECEIVER ON OR BEFORE THE CLAIMS BAR DATE (FEBRUARY 2, 2026) SHALL BE FOREVER BARRED AND PRECLUDED FROM ASSERTING A CLAIM AGAINST THE RECEIVERSHIP OR RECEIVERSHIP ENTITIES.
Maroney Update
The Receiver had previously reported on the indictment of J.P. Maroney. The trial of his case was originally scheduled in October and then postponed until December. However, recently, Mr. Maroney waived his right to a speedy trial and requested an unopposed continuance of the trial until February 2026. The Court granted that request, continuing the case until the trial docket starting on February 2, 2026.
Motion To Approve Commencement of Claims Process Filed
On July 18, 2025, the Receiver filed a Motion to (1) Approve Procedure to Administer Claims and Proof of Claim Form, (2) Establish Deadline for Filing Proof of Claim Forms, (3) Permit Notice by Mail and Publication, and (4) Approve Retention of Simpluris. A copy of this motion can be found here. This motion seeks the Court’s approval to commence a Claims Process for each person who thinks they may have a claim against any Receivership Entity to submit a claim to the Receivership proceeds obtained from liquidated assets. If you believe you may have a claim arising out of or in any way related to the acts, conduct, or activities of a Receivership Entity, the proposed Claims Process will require you to submit a Proof of Claim Form by a specified date (“Claims Bar Date”) as set forth in the motion. As reported in the Receiver’s Quarterly Reports, the value of the assets recovered was minimal relative to the monies invested in the Harbor City scheme. Should the Court approve the proposed Claims Process and ultimately the claims submitted by investors with allowed losses, investors should be aware that any approved distributions will be nominal.
