If you are at all interested in this, please reply YES - that's all i need right now....(and no, i do not know the cost yet - or any of that info as it may depend on numbers of participants. All i want to do right now is get an idea of who may want to join a NEW lawsuit. I see there is 190 pages of comments on this topic - I personally can't spend another year waiting and hoping something different happens or what a new owner of the Manhattan Club might charge, etc......the time is NOW to do something, and stop the madness. I want them fined for FRAUD - and I want out of the deed. If you are at all interested in more information regarding a NEW lawsuit filed by many owners - reply YES! Sue

My answer is yes. I want out of TMC.

Yes. I want out of TMC.

We all WANT OUT but to throw more money at Bad Money is not a great idea!

What is the purpose of the lawsuit - just to get an owner out of ownership or is it to recoup damages that would include returning the purchase price to the plaintiff?

Yes, Sue, I definitely want in! I not only want to get out of my expensive, ponzi timeshare at TMC, but I would also like some justice done regarding Eichner et al. Bernie Madoff went to jail for his ponzi scheme. The defendants in the AG case have already plead guilty and even though those admissions cannot be used in a another court case, they can be deposed and testify in a separate case and they are not allowed to deny their admissions of fraud.

Yes, Sue, I am with you Brigitte

yes

Any lawyer should be taking a class action suit on contingency. No money up front from class action clients. If said lawyer wants money up front, then it is just throwing good money after bad.

BobM...Where is this attorney located?

Yes, I am willing to join the lawsuit. Let me add this; it is my understanding now that the state's legal investigation is complete, it is possible to get action from the Federal Trade Commission's consumer fraud division. Their stated goal is to "protect consumers by preventing fraud and deceptive practices". Since The Manhattan Club does business across state lines they must comply with federal law as well as state. Further, if timeshare units were over sold when TMC was mailing members incentives for referrals it seems to me that this was also mail fraud on a federal level. Are there any lawyers reading this post who can add their opinon on this subject?

YES! sue

Attorneys do not ask for upfront funds on lawsuits. They receive compensation from the funds rewarded...usually33%.

not always....and in a case where all of them have been thrown out prior - I would expect an attorney charge at least a nominal fee to do research and prep. I can't answer for anyone as to what to do....I am just trying to help others, and figure it out myself as well.

You are exactly correct -no attorney, after studying the prior litigious history ( prior lawsuits being tossed out), will take on this case without some up front money - not if he is a successful attorney with an excellent background.

Sue: please call me so I can follow up on this idea. Jeff Weir 310-801-3479
