Calvin Anderson, a Nevada resident, has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on November 26, 2025, accusing several defendants including MCA Back Office, LLC and Sara King of engaging in a sophisticated money laundering and racketeering scheme. The complaint alleges violations of federal laws such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), money laundering statutes, and state usury laws.
According to the complaint, Anderson was induced to invest over $2.1 million with promises of legitimate business opportunities by Sara King and other associated defendants. However, these funds were allegedly funneled through a complex network designed to obscure their origins and integrate them into legitimate financial systems. The scheme involved multiple layers of transactions using domestic and international bank accounts to avoid detection by regulatory authorities. Defendants are accused of using shell companies and casinos as vehicles for reinvesting illicit funds into what is described as an "Enterprise."
The plaintiff's claims are rooted in accusations that defendants orchestrated a series of fraudulent activities including wire fraud and misrepresentation to solicit investments under false pretenses. Anderson alleges that he was led to believe his investment would secure him an ownership interest in King Family Lending, but instead his funds were used to satisfy pre-existing obligations within the Enterprise. The complaint details how Sara King executed promissory notes secured by fictitious loans or overvalued assets to advance the objectives of this alleged criminal enterprise.
Anderson seeks relief from the court including treble damages under RICO provisions, restitution for his financial losses exceeding $2.1 million, attorney fees, costs, and any further relief deemed just by the court. He also requests declaratory judgments voiding any purported loan agreements due to their unlawful nature under California usury laws.
The case involves multiple parties including nominal defendant J.P. Morgan Chase Bank which is not accused of wrongdoing but holds accounts relevant to tracing illicit funds. The legal proceedings highlight the involvement of various individuals like Kamran Abass-Vahid aka Kamran Pahlavi who allegedly assisted in preparing false loan documentation. Laurent Reiss and Delphine Pastor are identified as key figures managing offshore concealment functions through LDR International Ltd., a British Virgin Islands entity used for laundering operations.
The legal team representing Calvin Anderson is led by Douglas R. Dollinger from his law offices while Ronald Richards is mentioned as an attorney who may have facilitated certain actions beneficial to the Enterprise without proper disclosure or reporting obligations being met.
This case is assigned Case ID 1:25-cv-06601 with no specific judge named yet overseeing its proceedings.
