A bankruptcy judge handed down an interim order telling Primera Energy owner Brian Alfaro "not to dispose of any assets" until a final decision has been made from a five-day hearing spread over three weeks time, the San Antonio Business Journal reported today. Bankruptcy Judge Craig Gargotta handed down the interim order yesterday following almost five full days of testimony that originally started back on Friday, Aug. 28. More than two dozen angry Primera Energy investors are asking Gargotta for an injunction preventing the San Antonio businessman from destroying records and disposing of personal assets. The investors claim that they were milked out of millions of dollars through fraud and deceptive trade practices, but Alfaro denies the allegations. Judge Gargotta ordered that both sides of the case submit their findings of fact, conclusions of law and case citations to his court by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
