Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Nathan Z.):

Chris,

Its been a while since I've posted here.

A cursory visit to the Highgate.com site shows that Highgate owns the Park Central Hotel, with whom the MC shares the building. I don't know who owns what % of the building, but there is a qualified attorney on the case. In my opinion, you are very forward to be demanding that an attorney you have not retained do things for you and explain the progress of a court procedure to which you are not a party.

I am glad that some owners are retaining him and grateful for any information that JMZ voluntarily posts. But you're not helping the cause.

I'm not looking for a fight and don't like name-calling either. However, your constant barrage of insults to Eichner, the MC staff, and the former Attorney General all set the tone for this site. And since you are careful to disclaim any particular expertise in any area of real estate law or finance, why have you taken it upon yourself to respond to everyone who wanders in? Have you noticed how quickly most new posters disappear? Do you think that's because you've "answered" their question?

I enjoy staying at the MC. I would love for the Board and reservation systems to be owner responsive and transparent. Perhaps you've heard it said that "the perfect is the enemy of the good." Do you want to be part of a good solution or hold out for some unattainable "perfect" solution? For someone in favor of a united front, it seems like you are dividing owners efforts by claiming the "Coalition" is an equal alternative to retaining JMZ. Spare us the constant promotion and stop adding endless pages to this thread.

If you truly want this situation resolved, take a break. If you want to write the FTC, fine. However, the FTC is not an appeals court. Let the attorney do his job, let new owner-visitors understand the situation by reading the thread or being eventually contacted by the attorney rather than relying on your opinion (to which you are entitled), but might not be the best advice for their situation.
