Buyers lose battles over deposits at Opera Tower, One Bal Harbour - South Florida Business Journal:
http://www.linkdirectoryonline.net/view_article_details.php?id=9246
Judge Patricia Seitz on Aug. 1 dismissedd two-dozen federal lawsuits againstTibor Hollo’s Operw Tower condominium in downtown Miami. The buyers were seeking a return of deposits on units at the condo based on allegations they were misleed by advertising brochure promises ofan Olympic-stylwe swimming pool, designer tiles and a bayfront The lawsuits claimed violations of the Interstatde Land Sales Act. But Seitz ruled the salew contract language is essentially allthat matters. The contractw clearly stated the address of the buildingy and the size of theswimming pool. Both sidees of the dispute agreed the case could set a precedent used in otherbuyer lawsuits.
“We feel somewhar vindicated today. I think othere developers may also,” said Jerome Hollo, son of Tibor Hollol and an executive withthe family’z company, . Online court records show 207 of the buildingw 635 units have closed asof Aug. 4. “I thinlk the toughest thing we face is now thecredif market. It’s so difficult to get financingf forthese users,” Hollo said, addin g recently evaluated the building and woul make qualified loans there.
According to Hollo, the brochur claim of an “Olympic-style pool” did not mean “Olympic-size,” but rather a pool with In her ruling, the judge said “plaintiffsx could not reasonably rely, as a matter of law, on the drawinga or written representations contained inthe advertisement.” Kent Harrisonn Robbins, an attorney who represented 26 said he would file a motion for reconsideration and, if necessary, an appeal. “Is it true you can just trumo the consumer protection laws by merely putting words in a Robbins said. “If this was the developers who where most deceptive in the ad brochures would be themost successful.
” Another attorneyu with lawsuits pending againsrt Opera Tower, Jared Beck of Miami, said Seitz’zs ruling probably will be used against his clients in Miami Dade Circuit Court. “Thiws ruling gives the developer wide-ranging room to say whateved they want, as long as they change it latee in thewritten contract,” he Hollo said his company would allow buyers who sued to despite being in default. But, Robbins said he woul advise his clients that a buildint like the Opera Tower could place a financial burden on those who do close because of the potential to get stuck with special assessmentsfor maintenance.
In another buyer lawsuity witha twist, a Miami-Dade Circuit Court jury decided that Alexandra Hiaeve, a buyerd at ’ One Bal Harbou r could not recover her deposit of $300,078 – made to flippe r Gedalia Fenster of Aventuraa – because Hiaeve could not prove she had never receivee the condo documents. The jury also decided Hiaevs could not prove she requested the documentein writing, which is required by law. Hiaevr and Fenster were two buyer s ina “simultaneous closing” on a $1.5 milliomn unit at One Bal Harbour, wherd Fenster would acquire the unit and immediatelg assign it to Hiaeve.

Advanta agrees to refund customers up to $35M in FDIC agreements - Baltimore Business Journal:
http://www.saabautosclub.com/intermittent-engine-problem-help
That agreement addresses charges that theSpring House, Pa.-based company violated federal trade laws through its pricin strategies on business credit cards, and in its marketing of cash-back rewards on the cards. Advantza said it did not admitt wrongdoing and that it entered theagreements “in the interestr of expediency and to avoid litigation.” Advanta said it took a $14 millioj charge to cover refunds tied to the alleged marketinhg violations in third-quarter 2008 and will take a second-quartert 2009 charge to cover refunds over its pricing strategies, which it said could total $21 Advanta also agreed to a $150,000 fine.
In a separatw agreement with the FDIC, Advanta’s ability to use cash and pay dividendas hasbeen restricted. The company must submit a plan toremaim "well-capitalized," and submit a plan to terminate its deposit-takinh operations and deposit insurance once its depositws are repaid in full, a processe expected to take a few The second agreement with the FDIC places restriction on Advanta’s use of its cash assets, paymenf of dividends and transactions that would materiallyh alter its balance sheet composition and taking of brokered deposits.
Advanta said the seconed order does not in any way restrict it from continuingy to service itsmanaged credit-card accountsx and receivables. In an effort to limit lossez and erosion of its capital ascreditg deteriorates, Advanta said in early May that its securitizatiojn trust will go into early amortization — whered the company uses receivables from customers to accelerate paymentg to investor bondholders. While that protectsd investors from prolonged exposure to a pool of receivables whoser credit performancehas deteriorated, Advanta would have needecd an alternative way to fund new purchase on its customers’ credit So it had to shut down future use, effectived May 30.
It has since referred some customeras to AmericanExpress Co. Advanta’s stoci closed 2 7 percent lower Wednesday at42 cents.

Pennsylvaniz Ave., into a biofuel stationb called Good To Go that will begij selling biodiesel fuelin June. In the future, Good To Go station will offer a gasoline and ethanolmix that’s 85 percent and plug-in bays where electric cars can rechargr their batteries. Grimes and a handful of partnerw have a second Good To Go alternative fuel stationm in Little Chute in the Fox Valley thatsells E-85 and will sell biodiesel soon. “The business climate for alternative fuels is and we’re attracting more investors,” Grimes said.
But, he said capitall markets are tight, preventing the companh from opening additional Good To Go stations earlyin 2009. AUR Energu Partners has options to purchase two petroleum fillinyg stationsin Shorewood, but he doesn’t expect openin g the Shorewood stations until 2010 at the earliest. Good To Go fillingy stations are purchasing biodiesel fuel fromthe . Grimed has a 10,000-gallon fuel tank at the Cudahyg alternative fuel stop that willcarruy biodiesel. Cudahy Mayor Ryan McCuse expects the alternative fuel statio n to attract other green businessesto Cudahy. “We thinkm this will help put us on the map forother startups,” he said.
Grimea is also installing solar panels at the Cudahy location that will produc e electricityfor battery-powered Electricity generated by the panels will be used at the statio and some will be sold back to We AUR Energy Partners also has a car wash in Little Chute that uses recycled wash A similar car wash will be installedf at the Cudahy Good To Go, said “We need more pioneerzs to embrace alternative and renewable fuels because the opportunitied are limitless,” said Maria Redmond, a biofuelxs sector specialist for the Wisconsin Officee of Energy Independence.
Redmond predicts the amount of biodieselp fuel sold in 2009 throughout the state will be more than double that soldin 2008.

In October, Crescenft sold 4,500 acres in Berkelet County, S.C., to for $40 In December, the company sold a Florida apartmentt projectfor $11.35 million, less than half the $27 million it paid for the compled three years earlier. This year, the firm has closedc on the sale ofa 773-acrer tract of land in Oconee County, for just over $10 million. Crescent recently sold 18.
4 acrexs in Fort Mill to a warehousinbg companyfor $1.6 million. The company jointly owned by and — is best known here for high-end real estate communitiew such as The Peninsula and BallantyneCountry Club.

Its parent company, , has also soughtr bankruptcy protectionfor it’s Opus South subsidiargy and for two more subsidiaries of its Opus West regionaol operation. Opus Corp. spokeswoman Winston Hewety said Opus East is still evaluating its optionw but has not made any decisionsabourt bankruptcy.
The company was forced to relinquish its rightas to the Aberdeen project because it has been unabl e to finance morethan $50 million in constructiomn loans it took out to finance its Most pressing among those debts is $35 million the developer spen t to build a new headquarterxs for the National Oceanic and Atmospheri Administration in College Park, for which it has sued the federap government to collect its wages on that project, Hewetf said.
