Another one bites the dust: Lewis B. Freeman is a .....Certified Fraud Examiner. Lewis B. Freeman Named Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors of Mortgage.com Action Taken to Insure Orderly Liquidation of Company Assets for the Benefit of Creditors MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 2000--Mortgage.com (Nasdaq:MDCM - news) has filed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in accordance with Florida state law. Lewis B. Freeman is the Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors. Mr. Freeman will immediately assume control of the company's assets and, as a fiduciary of the estate, act on behalf of the company's creditors to maximize their return. Freeman has retained an affiliated company, BizTurnaround.com, and the law firm of Markowitz Davis Ringel & Trusty, P.A. to assist and represent him in his efforts. ``Our goal is to immediately assess all options for liquidation of Mortgage.com's assets in a manner that maximizes the return for creditors,'' said Freeman. ``By resolving this matter in state court under the Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors statute, Mortgage.com stands to simplify and expedite the process in a way that benefits all creditors.'' During his career, Mr. Freeman has been appointed by numerous state and federal court judges to serve as a Receiver and/or Trustee to operate and liquidate a wide variety of businesses. He indicated that it is his plan to maximize payment to creditors in the shortest time possible. While there are no guarantees, Freeman has a proven track record of returning value on the dollar for creditors. ``Mortgage.com is committed to maximizing the return for our creditors, which is why we have taken this legal course,'' said Miami attorney John Kozyak, counsel for Mortgage.com. Recently, Freeman recovered more than $24 million for investors in Unique Gems Intl' Corp. as the state court-appointed Receiver. As the federal court-appointed Trustee of a 600,000 square foot commercial complex made up of shopping centers, office building, and warehouses, Freeman effectively managed the properties until the estate was dissolved, improving profitability and decreasing the vacancy rate. ``I expect the process of liquidating Mortgage.com's assets and returning the maximum benefit for creditors to take anywhere from a few months to a year,'' said Freeman.
