Oregon lender sold notes for receivables but paid old investors, prosecutors said
Aequitas Capital Management · Private alternative lender (student, medical and auto receivables)
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
End-use tracing of funds
Would have traced note proceeds to affiliates and to older noteholders.
Can mislead when: Kubr sees only the company's own accounts. Once money reaches a third party's bank, Kubr can flag the payee but cannot see the next hop without that party's consent.
Collateral & double pledge
Would have tested whether receivables pledged to notes existed and were unencumbered.
Can mislead when: Pledges made off the registries stay invisible, and vague invoice descriptions are hard to match.
Ownership / related-party links
Would have mapped affiliated borrowers within the group.
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
