A Denver judge has agreed to allow an aunt of former Granby Ranch ski area CEO Melissa Cipriani to investigate whether she used the ski area to fraudulently transfer money and evade the aunt’s $19 million court judgment. The aunt, Valeria Fontana, alleges that Cipriani and her mother, Marise Cipriani, have moved money around in a conspiracy to keep it away from Fontana.
Though vocally skeptical of the allegations, a Denver judge has agreed to allow an aunt of former Granby Ranch ski area CEO Melissa Cipriani to investigate whether she used the ski area to fraudulently transfer money and evade the aunt’s $19 million court judgment.
Cipriani, 44, is the daughter of Marise Cipriani, an heir to Brazilian airline and meatpacking fortunes who bought the Silver Creek ski area in Grand County for $12 million in 1995 and turned it into Among those owed money from the Ciprianis is Valeria Fontana, Marise Cipriani’s sister and Melissa Cipriani’s aunt. In 2013, Fontana agreed to post the collateral for a $19.3 million bank loan to her sister.
Fontana’s lawsuit against the web of people and companies she accuses of defrauding her has moved at a snail’s pace through Denver District Court. Fontana’s lawyers say they are having a hard time tracking down the defendants, many of whom are in Brazil, and obtaining bank records and other financial information that will reveal the alleged fraudulent transfers.
