KANSAS CITY (LN) — U.S. District Judge Roseann A. Ketchmark on Monday granted DRE Health Corporation’s motion for prejudgment interest at a 9% statutory rate, adding $66.7 million to the $165.4 million breach of contract judgment, while rejecting the company’s claim that defendant Anthony Lyons was dissipating assets to avoid payment.

The order, filed May 11, resolves two competing motions: DRE’s emergency request for a temporary restraining order and receiver, and its motion to certify the underlying judgment as final.

Ketchmark granted the certification of final judgment, incorporating her March 20 order that awarded DRE $165 million on breach of contract claims and pierced the corporate veil of Berkley Equity Limited to hold Lyons personally liable.

DRE argued that Lyons was attempting to render himself judgment-proof by selling assets, pointing to a listing of his Bahamian mansion, "Jungle Cove," for $59.5 million through Christie’s International Real Estate just five days after the March judgment.

The court found that Lyons sold Jungle Cove in June 2021 in an arms-length transaction and no longer held an interest. DRE provided no evidence beyond speculation that the 2021 sale was not final or that Lyons retained any interest.

"DRE has not provided any evidence beyond mere speculation that Mr. Lyons did not in fact sell the property," Ketchmark wrote. "The March 25, 2026 listing of Jungle Cove makes no reference to Mr. Lyons."

The judge also rejected DRE’s reliance on Lyons’ sale of a Colorado residence for $19 million in November 2024 and an attempted sale of a Miami residence, noting those properties were listed for sale months or years litigation milestones.

Ketchmark denied the appointment of a receiver, stating that DRE failed to show that standard collection tools under Rule 69 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were inadequate. She noted that DRE had not yet sought post-judgment discovery regarding Lyons’ assets.

On the issue of interest, the court resolved a conflict between DRE’s New Customer Application, which cited the "highest rate permitted by law" (10%), and its Terms and Conditions, which cited "statutory interest" (9%).

Because the invoices in the case incorporated only the Terms and Conditions and not the New Customer Application, and because invoices control of a conflict, Ketchmark applied the 9% rate set forth in Section 408.020 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

The interest was calculated from October 30, 2021, to April 23, 2026, totaling $66.7 million.

Defendants filed a notice of appeal on April 17, 2026, challenging the March 20 orders.
