* Oversees Regulated fund Scam
Ephi Ullman
Ullman Enterprises
E-Sun International
THE SCAM:
Ephi Ullman preys on real estate developers who have lost their funding and will soon lose their properties to the lenders. Based on his excellent relationships with Top tier Euro banks, Ullmann is able to put together what he calls a “Regulated fund” that is set up in the UK and established under UK regulatory authority. You’re told that there are 21 established investors in this program. They are a combination of the largest bank and insurance company institutional in the world. Credit Suisse was the lead investor (syndicator) on the last deal they did. You’re told that Prudential, Barclays Bank, Bank Paribas and Credit Suisse are all involved in the Fund. You’re then told that this sponsor group has been doing 2 deals per month for the last couple of years. Access to the Fund submission process is not that easy and the developers need to be vetted and their first Project needs to pass muster. They assure you that based on the information you provided that yours has already made it through that filter and they are anxious to fund.
THE SOPHISTICATION:
Ephi Ullman is out of New York and claims to be working with UK legal counsel and a Surety Bond provider to put together a fund financing that is in the form of a corporate bond issued by a regulated fund. He goes onto say that the bond has a CUSIP number and is privately placed with several high profile European financial institutions that take part in the regulated fund concept. The surety wrap provider guarantees return of principal to the financial investors of the bond investment.
The fund is allowed for pre-underwritten qualified projects. The bond is in the form of a fixed rate coupon with a 5- 7 year term. The term is extendible for another 5-7 years if needed.
The Sponsors require the developing organization to post $250,000 cash for setup costs. Setup costs are a combination of UK legal, US accounting and UK regulatory fees. You are told that the money is escrowed and no more than 10% will be spent on these items. Timing is 6 – 8 weeks and immediately upon funding the bond, first draw on the bond fund facility allows for repatriation of the $250,000 setup costs. You transfer the money overseas.
They spend a bit of money putting together very professional looking info on your project, etc.
THE RESULTS:
Now the timing starts to get hazy. Placement within the ranks of financial institutions proves more difficult, and all of a sudden your “qualified” project becomes, well….no longer qualified. You are led on to believe that lawyers in Gibraltar (Hassans) are working out the kinks, and making sure the fund managers are reputable.
Next our project that is no longer as suitable as it once was gets placed in a basket of properties that ARE already in the process. Basically, you’re linked to another fund, and that fund merely underwrites for a larger sum. This fund is controlled by the Manager, or developer of the main development deal in the basket, so essentially your project and money are in the hands of a stranger.
Months go by, letters without corporate addresses are written from fictitious firms stating everything’s “ok”. Excuses after excuses. Claims of partnership issues arise, Ephi Ullman puts the mismanagement blame on the folks overseas, who he claims will not release our monies until their fees our paid.
Over one year later…..Money gone.
PLEASE CONTACT FBI AND SEC AUTHORITES IF APPROACHED BY Ephi Ullmann!

The above acam has happened to me exactly the same way, I do have an attorney and we are going to all the authorities, all persons involved will be reported to the attorney General and the F.B.I. starting next week. If there is any one out there that will help take this man and his team down for all the fraud he has comitted, please contact myself. I am losing everything I had, my lifes hard work because of Ephi Ullmann.
David,
Please provide your attorney info to help people find you. He needs to be in jail.
Ephi Ullmann has delivered on all his obligations my company recieved one hundred million in commercial funding. I went to mostly all of the top true banks for help but no results. In just six weeks Mr.Ullmann treated me and my project in a very professional manner.
Thank you
Ephi Ullman now goes by EJ Ullman, his underwritter goes by the name Jim Perkins. The loan servicers are Parenta capital/ Steve Parente
I would love to speak with Mr Roger Cohen
Ephi Ullman a scammer for sure!! Been waiting for a promised POF for a week now.No POF but his brokers keep sending escro agreement. Now he says he wont send POF until we sign escrow aggreement and send them 68k. This is after our attorney was promised POF next day. That was a week ago now. Every day a new excuse why POF cant be sent but that it is on its way after we release 68k we have in escrow. This guy needs to be shut down!
Jim Perkins was also involved in our scam. Ephi Ullman still has $250,000 dollars of our money (from 2008), and claims the oversees investors won’t release. Basically we have to go to Europe and sue. HE just puts it in his pocket and moves to the net victim. Contact Authorities.
However you handle it, do not release any monies, I promise you will NEVER see them again.
Debra Emery,
I would like to speak with you off line, if you would.
my e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks
My shareholders want to file a Rico Act on Ephi and his company and associtaes–
to do this we must have other parties,and it is good if they are in other states—we should all be working togeather-
-there do make him pay back all victims—
need to know if you are with us—
Robert
I am working with Ephi now to close on our deal—it has taken longer than we all expected—but I believe we will close–will keep you all infrorm—-robert
My company has been approached by a “middle-man” trying to bridge my company with EJ Ullman. I would love some more feedback on him. Thx
He commits fraud a a grand scale and is a criminal. He’s also being investigated by the FBI. The story is completely accurate in how he bilked my firm of over $200,000 dollars.
By the way, I suspect that is why he changed his name and now goes by EJ ULLMAN, since the name Ephi Ullman has now been exposed as a criminal. This guys bad news, stay away or call the FBI.
Please send me more information about issues with Mr. Ullman. I just meet a John “Jay” Nixon of MWIC who claims to be a partner with EJ Ullman with Maple Financial. I was told they need 6% in escrow which does not leave my bank account. They just put a hold on it. I can be reached at [email protected]
Thanks,

Please contact me when you get a chance.
He took me for 50K! Wheeling and dealer who lies his a$$ off to get people’s money. Bad news.
DAVID AND OTHERS—WE HAVE NOT CLOSED–HE WENT MIA ON ME FOR THE LAST 5 DAYS–EMAIL HIM –CALL HIM–NOTHING—HAS TILL MONDAY THE 16TH-
Has anyone had contact with EJ or Ephi Ullmann?
Is there progress with anyone?
Ephi has gone MIA on me for about 4-5 weeks now, It is my wish to find him, confront him in person, is anyone else interested? if so, contact me
I am writing this post in behalf of John Nixon, who is not a part of the regulated fund scam in any way shape or form. Also Mr. Nixon is not partners with Ephi Ullmann, and has only done business with Mr. Ullmann for purpases of his insurance business who insures different products internationally and is a valid company doing business in good standing for many years. Mr. Nixon is in the Investment business and both his name and Co, are in very good standing in the financial circle of investors.
I Robert Petry still waitling on funds—[email protected]

Susan
I have had friends who borrowed money from me to be part of this guy’s deal. Has anyone recovered anything?
I would be interested in working as a group and going to the FBI. Of interested please send me an email at [email protected] and I will try an organize. He stole $250k from us
I would be happy to try and coordinate a more united front in order to go after Ephi and put him in jail. Please send you info to me at [email protected]
I am ready to move forward with all of you to go after this guy, He just keeps telling me story after story on how he will get my money back for me and aslo fund my project. I had enough! lets all get started, ASAP Please
I lknow it is the hollidays right now, but I would like to know if any of you are actively doing something about this man and how we might work together to
put a stop to his crimes. Please contact me asap. Thank-you
Anyone has his contact information? The information I have been off for some time.
Has anything been done about this guy?
I am sorry to say but the funds we lost are tied in such a way that we cannot help anyone here. We did receive the same song and dance as the rest of you have mentioned. I pushed him against the wall with a deadline of Dec 31, 2012 and just received more lip service. I am not the actual cash person so I can’t pursue anything but the original post on this site has the right idea. It’s a federal offence and could be a tax evasion, since I wasn’t able to send him a 1099 for the income he received, so the IRS might be another resource.
He deserves to be served a long time in jail or scammed majorly by someone better than him or served up to the organized crime syndicate to be fitted for concrete boots.
I’m a firm believer that karma will prevail so I’m certain he will pay his dues at some point. WHAT A SCHUCK!!!
He will Pay for sure, I promise this to its end.
He has big problems, wihich is why he is trying
to hide from me now for 3 months. But I know everything
about this man, did my homework!
Somebody with real skin in the game should start with NYPD as that is the jurisdiction where the scam occurred (Ephi’s residence). They will probably refer you to the FBI but it’s good to have a paper trial.
I would also suggest the SEC but I doubt this guy is even licensed. Our client was taken ($250k) and I’m sure he would like to try and recover his money.
John Nixon is a con-artist do not do business with this guy!! He has taken over $150,000 from me and I haven’t received a dime from this snake! He has since changed his phone number and has been calling me from burner numbers. Don’t do dealings with his partner Glen Gibson as well, they work as a tag team con opperation and place the blame on other guys! I have received nothing but lip service from this guy! The individual on this post who took up for John Nixon is probably Mr. Nixon himself or some other scammer, so I would look into that person as well! Nothing about this guy or anyone else he placed you in contact is real! I personally wish to see John Nixon, Glen Gibson, and Ephi Ullmann placed in prison forever! I will be going to the FBI and anyone else that can assist me to seeing these guys rot in jail! Please contact me if you have any information about these guys that you think will help!

I think Ephi is trying to clean his web search by putting up a site with words that will come up like fake, scam, advance, fee, etc… This is still the number one google search with his name…His name is popping up with sites offering advice.
Also…all the “articles” are coming from different news sources.
I sent a couple of clients over to him. They never got funding and my firm collapsed as a result. I wound up losing my house in the process and am now out of the capital raising business. I last spoke to him about 4 months ago and he said his company was in the process of a merger and they would close the deals soon. Never heard back since.
To all….It is time to move on Ephi Ullmann and all his contacts, regarding banks, personal, anyone he used as a tool to try to satisfy you all. He must go away for a very very long time and rot in prison. There is more evidence against him now then ever before. Lets do this now before he disappears, I hope its not too late!!
I have been approached by Ephi Ullmann regarding a deal. Please send me documents that verify this comments above. They are very serious and I want to make sure I don’t get screwed.
Hello, I have had the same problem. How would you like me to contact you?
David Kempton – do you know where he is? Most everyone has lost track of him. The e-sun site has gone dark and the number I had for him (646 823-3357) hasn’t worked in over a year.
Thomas Chambers – Just google him and you won’t find anything positive. Do YOU have his contact info?
Please send me any information you have to my email address above.
I need your help
Tom I don’t see your email address
I am very interested to know if I am dealing with the same person as you all apparently did. I am dealing with another man using the last name of Ullman, but sounds like a similar scam. Money never leaves your account, administrative hold, we use our money, we sell bonds to make the money we’re giving you. My email is [email protected] and you can call or text to 818-415-7277 anytime.
