    [T]he Trustee must establish that it is proper to avoid the transfer from the Debtor to Jonovich, then establish that J.S. Stephens, as the subsequent recipient of the money the Debtor paid Jonovitch, is a “transferee” from whom payment may be recovered under Section 550(a), subsections (1) or (2). Thompson v. Jonovich (In re Food & Fibre Prot., Ltd.), 168 B.R. 408, 416 (Bankr. D. Ariz. 1994). In order to recover under section 550, the Trustee must establish that the transfer to the Bank was avoidable under section 547 and that the Bank was a transferee of the funds.
