The $42.6 Million Dispute

- According to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for Utah (Healthcare Co Ltd. v. MPI Group LLC, CVB Inc., Sam Malouf, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00031), CVB Inc. received $42.6 million in products and services but allegedly failed to pay.
- To continue business, CVB’s affiliate MPI Group signed a promissory note for $42.6M, due May 2024. No payment has reportedly been made.
- Court filings allege that MPI pledged California property as collateral, even though it had already been pledged to Citi Real Estate, rendering the security worthless.
- Plaintiffs further allege that CVB transferred trademarks to Sky Bacon Technology Holdings (an insider-controlled LLC) for $10, then licensed them back — a move they claim was designed to keep assets out of creditor reach.

The Nibley Headquarters Property

- Public records show CVB’s headquarters at 1525 W 2960 S, Nibley, UT (280,000+ sq. ft.) listed for $35M.
- A motion in federal court warns that if this property is sold, the proceeds may be diverted instead of being available to creditors.

Active Lawsuits & Legal Actions

In addition to the $42.6 million contract dispute, CVB and its affiliates are entangled in a growing web of lawsuits across multiple states. These cases reflect a pattern of unpaid debts, contract breaches, and allegations of fraud. Together, they show that suppliers, landlords, and business partners are all seeking answers — and payment — from CVB.

1. In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, CVB is appealing an earlier trade case (Case No. 24-1566). The appeal, filed in February 2024, remains pending and underscores CVB’s ongoing disputes with federal regulators.

2. In Arizona, a case brought by Santan M P L P (Case No. CV2024031889) accuses Downeast Outfitters, a Malouf affiliate, of failing to honor business agreements. Filed in November 2024, it remains unresolved.

3. In Utah, Pinkcity Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. filed suit (Case No. 240908257) in October 2024 over unpaid contracts with Downeast Outfitters. This supplier is one of several foreign companies alleging non-payment.

4. Another Utah landlord, Orem Center State Plaza LLC, sued Downeast Outfitters in January 2025 (Case No. 250900022), alleging unpaid obligations connected to commercial property leases.

5. Also in January 2025, Latiyal Handicrafts Pvt. Ltd. (Case No. 250900613) and Artasia (Case No. 250900614) both filed separate lawsuits in Utah over unpaid contracts, adding to the mounting list of supplier grievances.

6. In August 2025, Utah County records show that Nate McBride filed suit (Case No. 250403868) against Tamarak LLC, another related entity, claiming breach of contract. This case remains open.

7. In Arizona, BVS LP SPE LLC filed a complaint (Case No. CV2025028845) in August 2025 against Downeast Outfitters, adding another creditor dispute to the docket.

8. In New York, O’Shea v. CVB, Inc. (Case No. 1:25-cv-01446) accuses CVB of personal property fraud. Originally filed in February 2025, the case was transferred to the Eastern District of New York in March 2025 and remains active.

9. Finally, in Utah federal court, Healthcare Co. Ltd. v. MPI Group LLC, CVB Inc., and Sam Malouf (Case No. 1:25-cv-00031) remains pending. This case is the centerpiece of the $42.6 million dispute and alleges fraudulent transfers and broken promises.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

In July 2025, six international suppliers took the extraordinary step of filing an involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition against CVB, Inc. The petition claims that CVB owes approximately $3.5 million in unpaid debts, representing a wide range of suppliers who say they were left without payment for goods already delivered. By filing this case, the creditors are asking the court to place CVB into forced liquidation — meaning the company’s assets would be gathered, sold off, and the proceeds distributed fairly to creditors instead of disappearing through insider transfers or asset shuffling.

The case is currently pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah (Case No. 2:25-bk-24249). The outcome will determine whether CVB can continue to avoid its obligations, or whether creditors will finally see accountability through the court-supervised process of liquidation.
