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

I sent a letter to the Attorney General, and to Judge Rakower a month or so ago which reccomended the appointment of a Special Master to untangle the TMC mess (who owns, who doesn’t, what Dept of Finance records show vs those of TMC). I received this response a week ago.

HERE IS THE TEXT OF THE REPLY:

This office has received your correspondence about the Manhattan Club and has added your name and contact information to our files.

Thank you for reaching out to us; it was because of information provided by Manhattan Club purchasers like you that we were able to commence the General Business Law Section 354 public investigation in the New York State Supreme Court, New York County, identified as in the Matter of an Inquiry by Eric T. Schneiderman, Index No. 451536/2014. The goal of our investigation is to address allegations that have been made about the practices of the Manhattan Club. If, as a result of the investigation, we are able to prove that the law has been broken, we hope to be able to provide relief for all of the affected Manhattan Club purchasers.

In the meantime, because there are more than 14,000 Manhattan Club purchasers, we are not able to contact everyone. So we may or may not be reaching out to you for further information. If we require additional information from you, we will contact you directly.

Please note that this Office does not represent individual complainants in court, nor can we provide individual legal advice. If you have questions about how the investigation will affect you, you may want to consult your own private counsel.

Thank you for….. signed by Louis Solomon Esq. State of N.Y. Office of the Attorney General; Division of Economic Justice Chief of Enforcement Real Estate Finance Bureau
