Mrs. Marian Mimi Krogius Walters fundraiser

Oct. 17, 2000--The mayor of Laguna Niguel has made the first and only bid to purchase the former mansion of Luigi DiFonzo, the deceased executive of DFJ Italia who a judge determined used money from a Ponzi scheme to purchase the home. Marian "Mimi" Walters and her husband, David, an investment banker, have offered to pay $4.95 million for the 14,000-square-foot hilltop home in the Bear Brand Ranch gated community, according to a notice sent out to investors Monday. Walters currently lives down the street from the home, which sits atop a cul-de-sac called Inspiration Point. She said her family has been looking for several months for a new home and had admired the former DiFonzo house for a long time. The Walters offered to buy the mansion from Thomas Casey, the court-appointed trustee, who was awarded possession of the home in August when a U.S. Bankruptcy judge ordered DiFonzo's widow and family to vacate the home. The Walters also offered to pay $250,000 for furniture, artwork and other property that was seized from the home by the trustee and FBI. DFJ closed its doors in March and alerted investors that much of their money was missing. Investigators have determined that the company took in at least $45 million from 700 investors, including professional athletes and entertainment celebrities. Casey said a hearing date was set in bankruptcy court for Nov. 8 when the judge will have the opportunity to approve the sale to the Walters. Other interested buyers will have until then to submit a higher bid. If the sale goes through, Casey estimated the trustee would pocket about $1.5 million before taxes and after the DiFonzo's mortgage company is paid off. However, Casey said it is impossible to tell at this point how much of that money will actually make its way back to investors. He said his investigation is at a point where he is considering investing the money in the pursuit of lawsuits against large institutions and corporations that have willingly or unwillingly aided DFJ in its fraudulent scheme. Casey said he would determine in the next several weeks whether there is sufficient evidence to pursue those suits that could potentially provide a windfall for defrauded investors. Casey also said Monday that he has filed a lawsuit to seize the New York home of Geraldine Ales, the former wife of DFJ Italia vice president Angelo Ales. Casey said he has traced $129,000 from DFJ accounts to payments for the Long Island house. Casey said the lawsuit would temporarily freeze the assets.
