very helpful

I reported thanks to your post the 3 stooges that ran about 20+ timeshare LLCs in Orlando that closed shop and left with a lot of escrow fund money of both sellers (pre-paid commissions) and buyers (me). Now they are reported FBI, Attorney General, and Orlando Police. Hope they get these guys locked up soon.
