The company held funds in escrow for couples having children through surrogacy.

From hope to heartbreak: Families allege surrogacy escrow company stole millionsThe Georgia couple had organized a gender reveal party for their first child, a baby girl being carried by a surrogate in a neighboring state.

In a joint investigation, ABC News and its owned television stations interviewed impacted families and surrogates from half a dozen cities coast to coast. On the website of SEAM, the company's credo -- "We'll Handle The Money. You Handle What Matters" -- is prominently displayed. Side's bio, which is no longer accessible on the site, describes her as a former surrogate who saw SEAM "as a chance to help hundreds of people create the families they wanted -- way more than she could through surrogacy alone."

Side also allegedly used client funds to purchase multiple properties in Houston and a custom home in New Orleans. Phone calls and emails to SEAM are met with the same automated response as emails and calls made to Side.
