I couldn’t have said it better than your comment.

Bottom line: Whether we owners post on this blog or not, most of us KNOW that there are too many ‘oddities’ here and have been for a long time. Joe has been in place way too long.

With all the nepotism that is put in place by Joe and the way the board members get nominated, the meetings before the meetings and what is actually SAID at the meetings, refusal of digital recordings of the meetings that would be provided free. They do not want openness at all. They want to slide $ and deals through.

We, as owners truly need resolution of some kind, in some way. I guess this FBI approach is one path to get it? I surely hope they can act relatively fast. Something truly needs to occur PRIOR to the assessment date. Or a civil suit needs to stop that assessment until we KNOW where our funds are in fact going. The only way to know that is a forensic audit. If any place needs one this one does!

Handing over hoa’s/assessments to Joe/board is like tossing money in a big black hole and i do not know how much more any of us need with a manager and his buddy board members that WANT OUR MONEY DESPERATELY but REFUSE to OPEN BOOKS and do not want TRANSPARENCY.

How can they not be accountable in any way and continue to expect us to hand over $353,500? Raise hoa’s to run their rml, and do anything they darn well please with our money. Just what are they doing with our money? Is this America?

The only reason to not allow for total transparency is that there is something to hide. In which case, this approach is the best way to sort all of this out.

Obviously, the FBI will be interested in this case as they are interested in HOA’s. The FBI’s purpose for these types of investigations is to determine if parties are or ever were involved in any inappropriate or unlawful acts. Management companies are included in these types of investigations as well. And, even if the Joe or members of the board quit, they will still be held criminally responsible if anything like that has been happening.

Transparency of all books and records by providing copies of all receipts and all documents to any and all owners who wanted them would have been the better approach for the board and Joe. All Luther had to do was say “Let’s get this cleared up once and for all, come have copies of whatever you want and if you find any problems, we’ll fix them.”

Instead, we get stonewalled. And, the ONLY reason, the ONLY reason, has got to be something major wrong is being hidden from the owners. I hope the FBI finds out what, or all of the Whats, and sends any wrongdoers to jail.
