Re: Board of Directors (by Jeffrey H.):

Hawaii attorney Bill McKeon is currently looking into a class action suit and will have a better assessment of things within the next 2 weeks. Please contact his firm and provide your information as his list is growing each day. The firm's information is located at: www.mimhawaii.com

If a suit is filed we may be able to make our payments to the courts while the litigation is ongoing so that we are up to date on our payments. þ Also, if you haven't done so already it would be helpful to file a complaint with the Hawaii Attorney General's Office as well as the RICO Section of the Consumer Protection Office. If there's enough valid compliants filed, the AG's Office could look into this situation for us - hopefully. Further, you might want to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (unfair and deceptive practices) and Securities Exchange Commission (misrepresentation of financials) so that the Feds can start sniffing around. If you're interested in filing a complaint with the FTC and/or SEC (I filed complaints with both), below are the web links for the complaint forms, fax number, and some language for your complaint. The more people we have looking into this then there's more pressure on DRI.

Federal Trade Commission Complaint Form: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?lang=en FAX 202-326-2012 The FTC investigates "unfair or deceptive acts or practices” to include making false claims and promises that are material and which enticed the person to buy a timeshare. The FTC also invesigates complaints where there is willfull and intentional misrepresentation, omissions and misleading comments or acts, failure to fully disclose material facts (ie water intrusion problem), that a reasonable person would interpret, which causes substantial injury that was not reasonably avoidable and not outweighed by countervailing benefits to the complainant or to the competition. Negative and misleading discussions about other timeshare companies to persuade and influence the person might be considered a deceptive act. The following sites may show a pattern and practice of unfair or deceptive acts or practices from timeshare owners:

---------------------------------------------------- Securities Exchange Commission Complaint Form: http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/formtcr.pdf FAX 703-813-9322 The SEC may investigate instances where there is material misrepresentation of a companies financials and/or overstating their earnings, worth, value, and ownership in the properties which enticed someone into buying a timeshare. This may include the failure to fully disclose maintenance and repairs costs or present and future expenses. Btw, DRI took over for Sunterra which previously misrepresented their earnings and possibly violated SEC regulations which included the following cases. Gonan v. Sunterra Corp, et al, No. 2:06-cv-0084; Kaltman v. Sunterra Corp, et al, No. 2:06-cv-00894 and Sickles v Sunterra Corp, et al, No. 2:06-cv-0877 The following sites may show a pattern and practice of misrepresenting the earnings, worth, value and ownership of the timeshare:
