Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Nathan Z.):
Craig, I agree. Chris, you have an enormous amount of energy. We owe you and others tremendous thanks for the kind of pressure you brought to get AG Schneiderman's attention, which led to the negotiations and settlement. As unsatisfactory as it may be, a settlement was reached and is in the process of being implemented. The MC developer is selling his remaining interest in the property and management contract to BlueGreeen.
However, this is 2018, not 2010 or even 2015. Out of 15,000 owners, there will always be a number every month that become dissatisfied or no longer wish to carry the cost. I'd be surprised if your numbers didn't rise. You haven't asked anyone to do anything or pay anything, so why wouldn't they? Unfortunately, public relations will not take the place of a legal argument in the courts where this must ultimately be decided. If you feel you were defrauded, you need to retain an attorney. I don't speak for the Attorney General, but it seems that office has already invested as much time as they ever will. They have other cases. And while you may focus on TMC admissions in the negotiations, the AG said that none of that would be admissible in a criminal proceeding. TMC management basically holds a get-out-of-jail-free card.
So organize all you want, but without a plan or a means to execute, I believe you are offering people faith healing instead of real medicine!
