Influencer Martha Graeff, the former fiancée of Daniel Vorcaro, was summoned by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida to give testimony on December 8 in Miami. The proceeding is part of a case seeking to locate and recover funds and assets connected to Banco Master. The court order was reported on Tuesday, November 3, and is among measures requested by the financial institution’s liquidator to examine asset movements linked to Vorcaro.
According to information reported by Metrópoles, Graeff is expected to appear at the offices of Sequor Law in Miami to answer questions about possible records of financial transactions, art dealings, and acquisitions of high-value property. The liquidator believes she may have access to documents that could help trace funds moved by Vorcaro and people associated with him. The request for testimony and records is part of an effort to establish what assets may be connected to the operations under review.
The summons also covers Graeff Holdings LLC, a company based in Surfside, Florida. Investigators are seeking to determine whether the company received money, transfers, or assets related to the financial operations being examined in the Banco Master case. The request for information about the company does not, by itself, establish that it received such funds or that it was involved in any improper activity.
The documents requested by the U.S. court include bank statements and other banking records, information showing the origin and destination of funds, service contracts, and records concerning the purchase, sale, or consignment of works of art and luxury goods. Such records can help establish when transactions took place, which parties were involved, and how money or property moved. The requested materials may also help distinguish between transactions involving an individual and those involving a company.
Graeff has said she did not know of possible irregularities in Banco Master’s administration. She ended her relationship with Vorcaro after his first arrest. The summons to testify does not, on its own, amount to a finding that she participated in the operations being investigated, nor does it establish wrongdoing by her or by Graeff Holdings LLC.
Her legal representatives initially told the press that Graeff had not yet received formal notice at the time the order was reported. They said she remained fully available to provide any explanations requested by authorities. Graeff denies involvement in irregularities and says she did not receive financial or property benefits from her relationship with Vorcaro.
A deposition is a formal process for obtaining testimony in connection with a legal case. The person called to testify may be asked questions relevant to the dispute or investigation, and the testimony can be recorded for later use in the proceeding. A request for testimony is distinct from a decision about liability or criminal responsibility: it is a way to gather information, and it does not itself resolve the questions being examined.
The documents listed in the order reflect several kinds of records that can be relevant when a court-supervised liquidation seeks to identify assets. Bank statements can provide a dated account of deposits, withdrawals, and transfers. Records identifying the source and destination of funds can help clarify how a payment was made and where it went. Contracts may provide context for payments by describing the service or transaction they relate to. Records involving art or luxury goods can document purchases, sales, or consignments, including transactions in which an item is placed with another party for sale.
The inclusion of Graeff Holdings LLC means the inquiry is not limited to personal records. A company’s financial and business documents may be examined to determine whether its accounts or property are relevant to the case. A company’s inclusion in a document request does not automatically indicate that it received funds connected to the matter; the purpose of seeking the records is to establish whether any connection exists and, if so, what it consists of.
In a liquidation, the person responsible for administering the process may seek information about an institution’s property and transactions to determine what assets are available and whether they can be recovered. That work can involve reviewing records held by people or entities that may have information relevant to the assets being traced. The scope of a particular request is determined by the court process and the materials sought in the case. Here, the reported request focuses on financial records, contracts, art transactions, and high-value property that could help clarify the movement or ownership of assets associated with the investigation.
The order reported in this case therefore identifies questions for further examination rather than answers about the underlying transactions. Whether any particular payment, transfer, or asset is connected to Banco Master or to Vorcaro must be assessed through the evidence and the legal proceedings. Graeff’s stated position is that she was unaware of possible irregularities and had no involvement in illegal operations or financial benefits arising from the relationship.
The testimony is scheduled for December 8 in Miami. As reported, Graeff’s representatives said she had not yet received the formal notice when the order became public, while also stating that she was prepared to cooperate with authorities. The court’s request for her testimony and records from Graeff Holdings LLC forms part of the effort to trace possible assets connected to Banco Master; it should not be treated as a determination of her role or of the company’s role in the matter.
