The investigation into Erika Jayne's assets has allegedly uncovered loans she received from her estranged husband Tom Girardi's law firm Girardi Keese.

According to a motion filed by the bankruptcy trustee investigating Girardi's law firm, Erika's businesses received over $20 million in loans from Girard Keese in recent years. 

A trustee's special litigation counsel is working to investigate what happened to millions of dollars in settlement funds that Girardi's clients never received after Girardi successfully won cases for them.

The bankruptcy trustee says she needs to investigate 'witnesses who may have first-hand knowledge of this widespread fraud,' including Jayne's new landlord Benjamin Khakshour. 

Khakshour owns the home that Jayne recently started renting near Beverly Hills for $7,500 a month, after she was forced to move out of the $13 million mansion in Pasadena she shared with Girardi - which has now been put on the market. 

'The Trustee is six months into her administration of the estate, and is beginning to unravel the numerous transactions which may be avoidable and recoverable for the benefit of creditors,' the document states, according to People

'Among the possible assets to be recovered are the millions of dollars of settlement proceeds which the Debtor may have transferred to Erika.' the document states.

The special counsel has confirmed that 'settlement funds were diverted to Erika,' the document states.

'The Debtor has admitted in numerous filed tax documents that Erika's related companies have received over $20,000,000 according to the tax documents spanning multiple years,' the trustee alleges. 

'Erika has created a new company after the news broke of this scandal which appears to simply be a successor company. Erika has multiple financial accounts and the Debtor's books show Erika owes large receivables to the Debtor.'
