Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Irene S.):

Hi Chris,

I and a small group of owners have tried unsuccessfully to get the list of TMC owners for a year. The Manhattan Club list every TMC single owner on ACRIS, the New York City Official listing of real estate, as having the Manhattan Club address. We have tried hiring an outside firm to do data mining and possibly find TMC owners that way. Nothing has worked. The real reason The Manhattan Club has refused to release the list of owners, even to the Attorney General of New York State himself, is that the actual number of TMC is much, much higher than they report. The fact that the Attorney General after a year long investigation cannot get a list of TMC owners is chilling. Every week I get an email from a TMC owner who just heard about the investigation. In a court case in 2012 TMC in court documents stated the number of TMC owners was 18, 271 not the flattering and less incriminating 14,000+ they always state. The Manhattan Club has 286 rooms. 10% of those rooms are not available to TMC owners because they belong to BlueGreen Timeshares. TMC has agreements with Disney vacations and RCI for rooms. TMC has room rental listings on hotels.com, and other internet sites. Do the math. One of TMC's many fraudulent practices is selling rooms and timeshares they don't have. Once the real number of Manhattan Club owners is known TMC knows somebody is going to jail. That is why they are fighting so hard to keep that number a secret. It will take a court order and threats of imprisonment to get this information. TMC does not care about fines. They have our money to pay court fines.
