Alleged nominal record owners of the operating entities of the enterprise
According to the Verified Complaint, Virginie Boutin is, upon information and belief, a natural person who “at all relevant times held nominal record ownership of the operating entities of the enterprise” and who is alleged to have been “used by Defendant Soura as the recipient of fraudulent transfers designed to defeat successor liability under Georgia law.” (Verified Complaint ¶10.) The complaint describes her as Soura’s then-girlfriend at the time of an alleged sale of the operating company approximately two years before the 2025 diligence period. (¶3.)
She is named in Count I (fraud in the inducement) and Count IV (voidable/fraudulent transfers under O.C.G.A. § 18-2-74), among the counts pleaded against all defendants. The complaint also alleges (§IV.K) solicitation conduct involving both Soura and Boutin directed at Ripley.
The individual pleaded as “Jane Doe Boutin” is described only through representations the complaint attributes to Soura: that she is Virginie Boutin’s mother and an additional nominal record owner of the operating entities. The plaintiffs expressly state they are “presently unable to (a) confirm her legal name or (b) confirm whether she is in fact Defendant Boutin’s mother,” and that they rely on Soura’s representation for pleading purposes only. (¶11.)
This site accordingly treats her identity as unknown and will not speculate. No photograph, biography, or identifying detail beyond the pleading’s description is published here.
The public record available to this site does not establish: the actual ownership structure of the operating entities; whether any transfer to either defendant occurred, or on what terms; or either defendant’s knowledge of, or participation in, any conduct alleged in the complaint. These are precisely the questions the litigation exists to resolve.
