Darryle Douglas ordered to surrender Zeek database
In mid July BehindMLM revealed Darryle Douglas’ grandiose plan to market his new opportunity, Auction Attics, using the Zeek Rewards affiliate database.
This caught the attention of the Zeek Receiver, whose property said affiliate database is.
A subsequent motion was filed by the Receiver in late August, requesting Douglas (right)
- 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)
The Receiver’s motion is part of an ongoing effort to clawback the millions Douglas stole from Zeek victims.
Judge Mullen ruled on the matter back on September 15th, with the future of Auction Attics left in serious doubt.
Not surprisingly, Judge Mullen didn’t take kindly to a Ponzi scammer gearing up to fleece more victims. Nor did he approve of Douglas’ use of the Zeek Rewards victim database to market his new scheme.
To that end the Receiver’s motion was granted in full, with Douglas ordered to
- return and cease using the Zeek database
- submit to a deposition no later than September 24th and
- produce the requested financial records before his deposition
September 24th has obviously come and gone, but whether or not Douglas complied with the court order is unclear.
A a few hours ago a post appeared on the Auction Attics Facebook page, suggesting affiliates entice a police officer with the Auction Attics opportunity if they’re ticketed.
Start talking about Auction Attics… before it goes LIVE!!
An officer with any intelligence would gladly forgive you, so long as he or she can partake in all future profits.
Another post today claims Auction Attics has secured a “1800 square foot home office”. Whether Zeek funds are tied to the new office is unclear.
Other than that, things have evidently been pretty quiet at Auction Attics. The post prior to the two made today is dated September 22nd, with the only other two posts made this month dated September 2nd and 12th (two posts were made on the 2nd).
If Douglas has submitted for a deposition and provided the Receiver with his financial records, then I suspect we’ll escalated efforts to clawback the funds he stole through Zeek.
Otherwise we could be looking at a contempt of court motion filed any day now.

Thanks for posting this. I seriously doubt this guy is going to respond to any legal action that will be brought before him.
People like him are scammers. They will keep going doing what they want until they are stopped physically (arrested and jailed) or financially (assets taken by force).
I am pretty sure he has little to no assets in his name and that is why he laughs at the over 2 million dollar judgment against him. So good luck trying to collect anything.
In my opinion, people like this need to be physically and financially stopped. Now that would be some fantastic news.
Must wait and see. The receiver seeks or has already obtained a constructive trust over such assets.
Hoss,
Been waiting for 3 years and still nothing. I do not know what a constructive trust is. But the facts still remain.
If they guy has squirreled away his money either by spending it and or hiding it combined with not having any assets in his name, you could put a 100 million dollar judgment against him (or anyone) and you are not going to collect anything.
People like this need to be stopped by jailing them and taking their assets by force. But of course, there are probably little to no assets to take by force.
Just look at what is happening with these judgments. Basically nothing. They are not being collected and probably never will be because the people do not have assets listed in their name.
There needs to be more teeth to what is happening especially with those who have been in scams before and continue in scams after.
But this is a part of it, Steiny.
Failure to pay is a civil matter. Failure to obey a court order to turn over assets is contempt of court, and if he continues to ignore the court, he may expect a visit by the cops when the judge had enough and ordered him hauled to jail.
Even if they can’t find him, with this warrant hanging over his head he can’t even get a traffic ticket (or even have a tail light out).
Receiver can petition the judge to haul this guy’s arse to jail because the guy obviously don’t give a **** about Zeek and probably dodge being served for years.
It ain’t gonna be a pleasant life wondering if that next cop that drives by is gonna haul you off to jail.
K Chang… Well, let’s hope that this guy and the others like him (T Lamont) get stopped.
I know some folks who of the 9000 group that have not been served yet. A couple of them did not make a lot and I expect will pay some portion of it back. However one of them made a boat load himself and I hope someone like him gets hit a little harder.
I don’t think they should be jailed or anything like that, but at least sell one of his really nice houses.
Thanks for doing all that you do here. Zeek was my first venture into this scam world and my last.
I pretty much ignored all of the red flags on this for the love of greed. My plan is to never do that again.
Well, as the old saying goes, “once bitten, twice shy”. Learning from such experience is the relevant lesson, but sometimes, some people learn the wrong lessons, i.e. “how to get away with scams”, which seems to be what DD did over there.
But Karma will get him in the end. Have a little faith.
By order of the court, all that Douglas received, he holds “in trust” for the RVG estate.
If he bought a house, car, land jewels, stock, or anything, no matter… under law he holds it for the benefit of the estate. That is why he will almost certainly have no possessory right to use and enjoy an email list he got from Zeekler.
As you say tracing where the money went could be difficult, but once found, the name on the account or title won’t matter, and interestingly, if the value has increased , the gain also belongs to the estate.
