&lt;p&gt;A motion filed by lawyers for James Fayed and e-Bullion to maintain the company&#039;s computer systems has been turned down, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/aug/30/fayed-loses-first-round-in-federal-case/&quot;&gt;according to a report in the Ventura County Star&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lawyers had requested that authorities release $300,000 out of approximately $24 million in assets that had been &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2008/08/20/e-bullion-update-fayeds-lawyers-say-feds-seized-24-million-assets&quot;&gt;seized from e-Bullion&#039;s offices and Fayed&#039;s home by FBI and IRS agents&lt;/a&gt; on August 5, after Fayed was charged with operating a money transmittal business without a license. U.S. District Court Judge Philip Gutierrez was quoted as saying the motion to release the funds &amp;quot;seems more like it&#039;s preserving a business rather than preserving data&amp;quot; that could serve as evidence in the trial.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A motion filed by lawyers for James Fayed and e-Bullion to maintain the company&#039;s computer systems has been turned down, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/aug/30/fayed-loses-first-round-in-federal-case/&quot;&gt;according to a report in the Ventura County Star&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lawyers had requested that authorities release $300,000 out of approximately $24 million in assets that had been &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2008/08/20/e-bullion-update-fayeds-lawyers-say-feds-seized-24-million-assets&quot;&gt;seized from e-Bullion&#039;s offices and Fayed&#039;s home by FBI and IRS agents&lt;/a&gt; on August 5, after Fayed was charged with operating a money transmittal business without a license. U.S. District Court Judge Philip Gutierrez was quoted as saying the motion to release the funds &amp;quot;seems more like it&#039;s preserving a business rather than preserving data&amp;quot; that could serve as evidence in the trial.&lt;/p&gt;
