Timothy Blixseth was ordered by U.S. District Judge Sam Haddon in Butte, Montana, to be taken into custody on Monday and held until he provides a full of accounting of the $13.8 million he received for the Tamarindo resort. Blixseth was briefly jailed by the judge in December after he was found in contempt in February 2014 for disobeying a bankruptcy court.
