Whatever the explanation might be, I find it very hard to believe that the (relatively recent) case filed against Sumday by Diamond Resorts has already been resolved and concluded. Accordingly, I am inclined to regard the above-referenced "Facebook story" as being uninformed bull$H*t at worst, or just completely unsubstantiated rumor at best. It was just two weeks ago (March 06, 2020 to be precise) that Diamond Resorts issued a press release announcing / proclaiming that their case against SumDay was going to proceed, after a SumDay "motion to dismiss" was denied by a Federal judge. It is highly unlikely (...to say the least) that everything has now been magically concluded, a mere 14 days later. Civil cases in the Federal Court system simply do not move anywhere near that quickly.

Attorney(s) representing SumDay might, for all anyone knows (which is actually nothing), have instructed their client to "immediately stop doing whatever it is you've been doing that has motivated this lawsuit in the first place, until we can litigate this matter".

Just sayin'... :shrug:
It is quite possible that Sumday simply saw the case as too expensive to fight. Diamond has a lot of money, Sumday probably does not.

It is possible Sumday will emerge as a new company with a new name.

You can find the entire complaint on line, you just need to search, I found it. I didn't save the link, but it's out there.

While not the complaint, here's DR's press release

They're back...


Just one listing on eBay and their web site still says it's down for maintenance. Wonder how the DRI lawsuit is going.

Looks like at least one aspect of the motion posted by @chapjim was granted....

I have no additional insights, info (or much interest) in this matter, but it would not surprise me at all if Sumday rises again, but with their "Standard Timeshare Transfers" component being laid to rest permanently as part of a negotiated settlement. We shall see... :shrug:

The resurrection of Sumday over the Easter weekend. With DRI as Pontius Pilate?
