FBI HOA Fraud Probe Reveals IRS Involvement & Mentions RMI

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

B. “Woman says Quon helped direct HOA scam” by RJ writer Jeff German:

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?
