Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Robert M.):
Davidm1795, I just sent in papers to MHC to sell back my penthouse. This was after talking with Lin O'Donnell several times over the past few years. During those prior discussions, she always told me the MHC has no buy-back program. However, if I was interested in selling back the property, she could facilitate it. She would then ask how much I was willing to take for it. This bartering would continue until she would give me a ridiculously low figure and ask me if I would accept it. The first time we had this discussion, the figure was the highest, but still very low. In subsequent calls, the figure got even lower. When I made this last call to her, she initially told me they were not interested in "other" units, but since I owned the penthouse, they would give me $100 it I sold back. I would be very interested in seeing what this MHC rep tells you. I hope you will take notes, names, etc. and share it with the rest of us. Fraud is probably one of the most difficult things to prove. Proving intent I think is the real sticking point. However, I sincerely believe that MHC has done a very masterful job of getting away with fraud...so far. I hope the ongoing lawsuit will prove fruitful. However, I also wonder what remuneration can be expected, even if the lawsuit is won?
