Bob, what will TMC due when the case is settled? Will you be able to get back in without paying all the past due maintenance fees? Or are you just getting out! Ken

The following is a statement/question I posed to someone well versed in the TMC debacle and who generally agreed with my assessment and pointed out we, as owners, may not be able to eventually sue if a statute of limitations scenario prevails.

My understanding of the situation is that the NYAG is looking to make Eichner and his “people” accountable for fraud and whatever other crimes they have committed…but it doesn’t appear he is working for TMC owners per se (as I have heard more than once over the last couple of years)…he is using the supporting info we give him to help his case. It remains to be seen what will happen and whether or not we owners will benefit in any way, if at all…..And if the AG “wins”, does it give owners a leg to stand on if we wanted to attempt a class action suit.

I would also like to add that I don't think anyone on this forum should be bullying other owners into not paying their fees. It is a very personal decision. I have opted to continue to pay my fees and enjoy the club...I honor anyone elses decision not to pay their fees, but it is not their place to tell others not to pay their fees and attempt to lay a guilt trip by saying we are then supporting Eichner by paying his legal fees. And, I ask do you have proof of this?
