A temporary injunction has been granted by a judge in a lawsuit against Surrogacy Escrow Account Management LLC, also known as SEAM, and it’s owner, Dominique Side. The company and Side are accused of misappropriating millions of dollars meant for intended parents to pay surrogates. Records allege the missing money was misappropriated and was being used to fund Side’s rap career and lavish lifestyle. The injunction will ensure temporarily-frozen assets that have come out of SEAM’s accounts will remain frozen until the end of the investigation, In a presentation before a judge Wednesday, forensic analysis of bank records were shown which found more than $10 million of escrow money got funneled to other businesses, Side herself, as well as Side’s business partners.
