Darryle Douglas arrested, in custody
Following the regulatory shutdown of Zeek Rewards, Darryle Douglas was classified an insider and pursued by the court-appointed Receiver.
After years of ignoring proceedings against him and then attempting to launch a new scam, Douglas was finally slapped with contempt proceedings.
On December 10, 2015, Judge Mullen found Douglas in contempt of court. A warrant for Douglas’ arrest was issued, however up until now we’ve had no updates as to Douglas’ status.
A filing in Douglas’ contempt case dated March 3rd, reveals Douglas was arrested for civil contempt in Riverside, California, on March 2nd, 2016.
In December Judge Mullen ordered Douglas’ arrest until he ‘agrees to comply in full with the Court’s Order dated September 15, 2015.‘
The September 2015 order in question saw Douglas required to
- return any copies of the Zeek Rewards database he has in his possession
- appear for a deposition by the Receiver and
- produce all financial records from November 1, 2011 to the present for his personal and business-related accounts (prior to being deposed)
Presumably Douglas will remain incarcerated until the above orders are carried out.
Footnote: Our thanks to Don@ASDUpdates for providing a copy of Douglas’ executed arrest-warrant, filed March 3rd, 2016.
Update 30th April 2016 – As per the Zeek Receiver’s first quarter report for 2016, Douglas has or is about to be released.
The Receiver has subpoenaed NewBridge bank for Douglas’ financial records, with the report stating ‘a deposition of Mr. Douglas was scheduled to take place during the second quarter of 2016‘.
Anyone find a mugshot for this clown. I looked on the Riverside county website mugshot site and searched it and was not able to find it. Not sure if I am looking in the wrong place or what. I hope this is true.
However the skeptic in me says they are not going to keep this guy in jail too long. I mean yeah he is a criminal but if you look at some of the guys they arrest and the crimes, this guy looks like a saint.
I am sure all of this is going to play out pretty slowly. I sure wish some of it would happen faster with not only him but some of the other big time scammers out there. Yoo Hoo, where are you T Lamont.
Thanks for posting this stuff and keeping people updated. I sure enjoy watching it all play out.
Dominican Republic, last I heard.
I only expect him to be held long enough for him to be transported back to North Carolina to appear before Judge Mullen as he was ordered to do so twice before.
I have a contact at the Riverside County Sheriff’s office and I will see if he can tell me anything.
Interesting to see what charges will take place for those of us scammed buy the scam he started last summer!
A contempt hearing was scheduled for the 15th but was cancelled yesterday.
Not sure if it was cancelled because Douglas was arrested or because he’s complied with the September order.
Oz where did you find that information..
Case docket for Receiver’s contempt proceedings against Douglas.
Ok, hope he starts refunding people of his latest scam of Auction addicts, especially those who lost thousands.
Although I know this case right now is mostly cause of zeek situation, hard I believe something like this happened, hoping some positive news will come up.
