That was a default judgment which means she was never served and she was never contacted about thesuit. So was not able to appear and defend it. The DOJ feels she did nothing wrong and asked her to be a witness for them against the film company.  It revolves around a 'local newspaper'  (honolulu star) owned by Hawaii Pac Cinema/Unity House (Anthony Rutledge) stating that she was being sued by them.  However, she was not being sued by them at the time. It was a tactic to keep her from testifying and being a government witness.

Mr. Rutledge illegally used union monies (pension funds) for a variety of illegal businesses including trying to fund a picture that they wanted to do in Hawaii.  She was hired as a producer for a movie project  Mr. Rutledge just would tell her where to transfer monies to which she did. She had no idea he and his son, and the companies in which he owned, were the subject of a 10 year investigation by the U.S. Treasury, IRS, that began in 1992.   They were charged with conspiracy to defraud the US Treasury, by taking funds out of union savings to benefit themselves.  The DOJ's head Criminal Attorney, Ted Groves, met with her personally and she was asked to be a grand jury witness for the government.  She never had to testify though.  Her involvement was ten years ago in 2003. 

I believe in 2006, he plead guilty and then ultimately he and the son took a plea agreement.  They have a long l laundry list of problems.
