FBI Reports Stimulate Massive Complaints Against NV State Agencies!
November 13, 2011 by admin.
In case you have not been monitoring the public comments about the recent Review-Journal reports on the FBI HOA Criminal Cases, here are links for your convenience.
Scroll down to the public comments. Some of them provide revealing details about the failed HOA system in Nevada, and SCA even gets an occasional mention.
Here are just a few of the growing list of HOA fraud reports by the FBI:

Note the most commonly reported problem found by the FBI is fraudulent ballots and bogus ballot handling procedures prior to the vote counting processes.
SCA directors would be well-advised to review the previous election complaints in 2009, 2010 and 2011 to be sure they have corrected all of the alleged violations. Since the IRS is part of the FBI’s team, it could be that SCA past board election problems that seemed to be similar to the examples found by the FBI will attract official interest. It might be a problem for the current board if the 2012 elections had repeat violations.

RMI Schedule Conflict Illustrates Negligence or Incompetence?
November 12, 2011 by tim_stebbins.
Here is the notice that was had delivered to all(?) residents of Arroyo Vista Village. Conflict
Note it is a direct conflict with the Membership Meeting and the Nov. board meeting. Members are entitled and encouraged to attend all Membership Meetings and board meetings.
This is obviously distracting to that because many are also interested in the Neighborhood Watch program. Plus the HPD has scheduled time and personnel.
This is just another example of the incompetence of RMI and another big reason the Membership Meeting and even the board meeting should be postponed.

FBI HOA Fraud Probe Reveals IRS Involvement & Mentions RMI
November 11, 2011 by kayfrank.
The November 11, 2011 LV Review Journal includes 2 new Reports from the FBI Investigation into HOA Fraud:
A. “Prosecutors place another piece in construction defects puzzle” by RJ News Reporter John L. Smith
http://www.lvrj.com/news/prosecutors-place-another-piece-in-construction-defects-puzzle-133677218.html
B. “Woman says Quon helped direct HOA scam” by RJ writer Jeff German:
http://www.lvrj.com/news/property-management-employee-becomes-10th-to-plead-guilty-in-hoa-case-133629953.html
These articles reveal the following new facts and pose some questions concerning potential local involvement:
1. The IRS is disclosed as part of the 4-year-long FBI Investigation into Southern Nevada HOA fraud.
Questions: Is it a “coincidence” that both Sun City Anthem and Sun City Summerlin are being audited by the IRS at the same time as the Federal HOA Fraud investigation?
If not, what are the possibilities that Sun City Anthem Directors, attorneys, auditor and RMI could be questioned by the FBI?
Besides the 2007 failed federal tax audit indicating possible fraud, will the FBI be interested in the secret circumstances concerning the board’s failure for so many years to collect over $10 million of construction defects from the developers?
2. RMI is mentioned as a recent employer of the 10th person that entered a guilty plea on the FBI case.
Questions: After so many problems with local RMI credibility in the past few years, is RMI’s latest claim of “not under investigation in any way” believable?
Would RMI admit it if they had been under investigation by anyone at any time during the past 4 years?
3. Attorney Nancy Quon was identified as a leader in the fraud, and it is well-known that Ms. Quon and Sun City Anthem Association Attorney John Leach were close business associates for the years during the time the HOA scams were being conducted.

(”Nancy Quon stated that she was asked to speak … on behalf of John Leach.”)
Questions: Could the Sun City Anthem Association Attorney be charged in the FBI case in the near future?
If so, could the Sun City Anthem Director’s votes and RMI’s concurrences to continue using this attorney’s advice (in spite of receiving hundreds of SCA member complaints over the years) be shown to be examples of malfeasance?
