Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Dennis C.):

Chris: I was only trying to point someone who is obviously clueless about what's going on to the lengthy discussions (here) which contain a lot of history and information. I also included Wasser's name in case the person wants to throw in with that effort. I did not mean to imply that Wasser or those who have hired him, were posting advice or progress on this forum. As to your question 'what needs to be sorted out' - I previously posted a piece on the various types of 'owners' there are and how & when that might be sorted out at the end of whatever the NYSAG cases (e.g. who still is or isn't paying mortgages or maintenance, who's paying taxes only and not maintenance etc) - so there will be perhaps a dozen different "owner status'"...and therefore, perhaps a need for individual legal representation or assistance. I understand your frustration with this case and lack of info from NYSAG - but I'm not sure they can say ANYTHING that the opposing lawyers could read and use while in the midst of litigation (that would be a stupid strategy, now wouldn't it?). I hope that you focus your time and energy on helping folks that come here rather than the snark and frustration that you continually heap on those of us who are trying to help.

re mr wasser:

to date, unless i missed reading it here, there have been no comments from mr wasser or those owners who've retained him. what issues need to be "sorted" out. i would hope that mr wasser would tell all of us in this forum just what the benefits would be if we all retained him. why do we need a lawyer to get our "interests represented"? mr schneiderman should ultimately have our interests in mind, along with any victory that he garners. i believe an attorney general should always be concerned with his public's interest as well as winning the case that he instituted against eichner

There is no class action law suit. There is a very rich and comprehensive history and discussions on previous pages of this discussion group, you need to go to earlier pages and read some of the posts to understand what's going on. The NY State Attorney General is pursuing the Manhattan Club developer for both civil and criminal violations of NY State laws. There is a lawyer (see Wasser) that has been engaged by a group of owners to help them to sort out legal issues and to get their interests represented.
