Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Gail J.):
Nathan - are you a developer of condos. - are you an attorney? Well, for myself, I can answer yes to both and you are totally wrong that the list of owners is legally protected. 100% wrong. You perhaps never got a list because you obviously did not ask for one. I presently own a very high end luxury villa ( which in Florida is a very upscale condo) - it is the second one that I have owned at Longboat Key, Florida, and I and the other owners have ALWAYS - I repeat - ALWAYS been given a list of all the owners with their home addresses, and their phone numbers.My company also had a management division which managed condominiums and a list of the owners was always 100 % of the time made available to all the owners. Perhaps the condos. that you owned were less expensive and not managed by a professional management company and more importantly, perhaps you did not desire to know who the other owners are. But we shall see if the Zimmerman law firm is successful in obtaining a list. How you can claim privacy is absurd. With condos., you can generally find out who the owner is by going to the tax records unless it is held in a trust, a corporation, or a L.L.C. If that were the case, the secretary of state would then be able to tell you who the agent of record is. . Timeshare ownership is certainly a lower category of ownership so why should it receive privacy protection when second homes, condominiums, primary homes, businesses do not?. I would venture to say perhaps many would not want it to be divulged that they owned a timeshare at the Manhattan Club because they would be too embarrassed for anyone to know they had fallen victim to a scam by Eichner and his cronies. And the new Attorney General can reopen the case if the terms of the settlement have been breached, if new evidence of fraudulent activity is discovered, or if either side was discovered to have been lying under oath during negotiation of the settlement. And lastly, Nathanz2 , we ARE the Manhattan Club - you act as though the Manhattan Club is some entity with no connection to the owners. WE own the building, WE own the ground underneath the building, and We should be in charge of the management. So who are you referring to when you say "The MC is on solid ground in not releasing the list?"
