It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated October 15, 2024, Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment is GRANTED. Judgment is entered as follows: 1. Plaintiffs are entitled to judgment against defendant Vania May Bell on aiding and abetting fraud and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty claims; 2. Defendant Vania May Bell is liable to plaintiffs in the total amount of $31,632,020. Of this amount, defendant Bell is jointly and severally liable with Hector May and Executive Compensation Planners, Inc., for compensatory damages in the amount of $11,066,010 (i.e., $20,566,010 less $9,500,000 recovered by plaintiffs from other defendants in this case), and is individually liable for $20,566,010 in punitive damages. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962); accordingly, the case 1s closed. Dated: New York, New York October 15, 2024 DANIEL ORTIZ Acting Clerk of Court BY: K MANGO Deputy Clerk
