Description
Girard Trust Company, a Pennsylvania Corporation, in various capacities as trustee, held eleven judgments obtained in courts of Pennsylvania against Philip Amsterdam, a citizen of Florida. By Complaints filed in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Florida, the Trust Company sought judgments against Amsterdam based upon the Pennsylvania judgments. It further sought to subject Amsterdams property to the claims, and to set aside a certain conveyance of property to Jefferson Holding Company, a Florida corporation. It was alleged that the conveyance of an apartment house to Jefferson Holding Company by Philip Amsterdam was fraudulent and made for the purpose of hindering and delaying his creditors; that Philip Amsterdam was the owner of all stock in this corporation; and that such stock as was issued and held in the name of others was "in fact held by them in trust for Philip Amsterdam". The complaints were consolidated, interventions were allowed, and all parties in interest were brought into the proceedings.
