Notwithstanding this Court's admonishment that the name of a corporation controls (with respect to the entry of
defaults) and not a corporation's alleged f/k/a or a/k/a [D.E. 835], Plaintiffs have once again attempted to link
entities without any proof that such entities are, in fact, "also known as" another entity. Accordingly, the Corporate
Defendants reject and disavow any such linkage of entities with the term "a/k/a" in the absence of proof of an
established relationship between the linked entities. Specifically, Plaintiffs link the following: (1) EMI COFRESI
DEVELOPMENTS, INC. a/k/a COFRESI DEVELOPMENTS, INC., a foreign corporation; (2) ELLIOTT
MANAGEMENT, INC., a/k/a EMI MANAGEMENT,INC., a foreign corporation; (3) N.W.N.GROUP, LLC, a/k/a

Plaintiffs allege in their fn. 110 that "the parties are in possession of all relevant purchase documents as they
should have been kept in the ordinary course of business." As this Court is well aware, the Corporate Defendants
are not in possession of any of their books and records as such documents were seized by the Special
Master/Monitor and worse, were removed from the Dominican Republic in violation of Dominican Republic law
and where held at the offices of James Catledge's attorneys, Medina and Rizek in Santo Domingo, thus potentially
contaminating the books and records and subjecting them to potential "scrubbing" by James Catledge's attorneys
and/or agents.

parcel. The 23 acre parcel was purchased in the name of Mirador Cofresi Limited Partnership,
10. The 23 acre parcel purchase was funded by 18 Ontario based investors as limited
partners. During the period from 1989 to 1998, a number of lots in the aforementioned parcel
were developed. 5 lots were developed with houses. Four lots were sold to EMISVI (formerly
known as Hacienda Sun Village Inc.). Three remain with EMISVI today. The remaining lands
were sold to EMISVI by MCLP in exchange for shares in EMISVI by approved limited
partnership resolution.
11. In 1993 an adjacent property was acquired by another developer, Merlin Travel
(later Connex Caribe). This was a large Austrian Tour Operator whose principal was a Helmut
Mauerbauer. The adjacent property was then developed into a US$100m + resort complex (the
Hacienda Resort) with 60 -70 private villas, various hotels, suites, and apartment complexes.
12. In 1994 it was agreed with Mr. Mauerbauer to construct a 48 room two building
annex to one of the Hacienda developments known as "Hacienda Elisabeth." Ontario investors
participated in this $1,200,000 project via a DR company. This development ("Annex 94") was
sold to EMISVI in exchange for shares in 2002, which was approved by shareholder resolution.
13. In 1995 the Elliotts and the Corporate Defendants (and/or other Elliott owned or
controlled entities) (the "Elliott Companies") undertook another 36 hotel room development
annex to Hacienda Elisabeth ("Annex 95"). This was done using a TCI company, Seaweed
memorandum was filed with the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC"). This property was
then sold to EMISVI in 2002 in exchange for shares in EMISVI, which was approved by
shareholder resolution.

TCI prospectus, which was submitted to and approved by the TCI Financial Services
Commission ("FSC").

before any of the Plaintiffs appeared and many years before the Elliotts even knew James
Catledge or had any dealings whatsoever with him or his Impact Entities and agents. Thus,
Plaintiffs have no valid cause of action against EMI Cofresi Developments Inc. under any
scenario.

purchasers. It has never received any monies which are the subject of the Plaintiffs’ purchases.
Thus, Plaintiffs have no valid cause of action against EMI Cofresi Developments Inc. under any

original shareholders of an initial offering of shares of $32,000,000 in 2000. This offering was

35. In October of 2003 4 restaurants at the Sun Village Resort were destroyed by
accidental fire. Six weeks later the insurer covering these losses, Segna Insurance, declared
bankruptcy with a consequent loss of insurance coverage through no fault of the Elliott
Companies. Unfortunately, the Elliott Companies were unable to recover from Segna as a result
of Segna's bankruptcy, and the Elliott Companies suffered over a million dollar blow.
36. These issues all created operational and financial difficulties for a new resort and
it took time, energy and expense to repair the Sun Village Resort and restore good will and trust
with tour operators. It was in this atmosphere that the Elliott Companies began their disastrous
relationship with Catledge and his Impact Entities and agents as described below.
37. Importantly, prior to their introduction to Catledge and his Impact Entities, the
Elliott Companies' business model consisted of capitalizing their projects through registered
offering memorandums and prospectuses in the appropriate jurisdictions. Put differently, the
Elliott Companies had never, prior to their ill-fated relationship with Catledge and the Impact
Entites, offered purchasers fractional ownership product. However, as described below, once
advised of the so-called benefits of fractional ownership product by Catledge, the Elliotts, with
Catledge at their side, met with lawyers from the law firm Greenberg Traurig which was retained

that developers incur significant marketing and sales costs. These resorts were no different.
51. The selling and marketing of time share interests (as opposed to the entire interest
in a unit/condominium) involves much higher marketing costs. Each condo/unit can be sold
many times according to the fractional interest. It is accepted in the time share industry that
marketing and sales costs can account for as much of 50% of the sales proceeds. To non
industry personnel this percentage seems high but is an accepted cost of such a business.

locations for the sale of timeshares, and the earning of resultant service fees, is a normal legal
enterprise in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and elsewhere.

properties, and the ancillary services provided by risk-taking investors via their legally instituted
companies, were used to fund continuing construction costs and resort improvements at the
Residence.

55. During the construction phase of the EMI Residence, EMISVI adapted to changes
in the marketplace. It was felt that a ‘higher end’ product was a better business model. This led
to a substantial upgrade of the quality level of the Residence project. For example, room sizes
were increased which necessitated a reduction in the overall number of rooms from 198 to 108.
The project became known as the "Maxim Bungalows," later changed to the "Bungalows."
56. In early 2007, EMISVI based on advice from Catledge/Impact, decided to market
more popular "fractional interests" in respect of the Bungalows (this product had actually been
previously developed in connection with the Juan Dolio project, discussed below).
Notwithstanding the licensing issues with Catledge/Impact in the United States (that the Elliott
Companies were working with Catledge/Impact and the appropriate regulatory agencies to
rectify), there was no licensing requirement in the Dominican Republic for such fractional
57. With respect to the efforts the Elliotts took to rectify the discovered licensing
issues, the Elliott Companies took immediate and decisive action. For example, the Elliott
Companies spent in excess of $120,000 with the law firm Cassels Brock in Toronto, Canada to
take whatever action was required to assist Catledge and his Impact agents with compliance with
Canadian law. Moreover, when the Elliotts learned Catledge was using unlicensed
representatives in Idaho, rather than abandoning his agents and his clients, the Elliott Companies
spent over $600,000 with Greenberg Traurig further assisting Catledge and his Impact agents
with compliance with the laws of the state of Idaho. In addition to these steps, the Elliott
Companies (1) sent staff to Idaho and California to assist Impact purchasers with the deficiencies

although they were willing to assist Catledge and the Impact Entities and agents with getting
compliant with applicable regulatory agencies to a point, ultimately Catledge and the Impact
Entities were responsible for the misrepresentations they had made, and upon which the Elliott
Companies relied, and if the Catledge and Impact Entities and agents did not become compliant,
for whatever reason, Catledge and the Impact Entities would be held to account for their

Schedule thereto).
62. Fractional purchasers were also given the option of entering into rental
agreements in respect of their fractional interests, which did not allow for rental pooling which is
common place in the industry, and was executed pursuant to fully comliant documentation
prepared by Greenberg Traurig. The Elliott Companies were in the process of completing the
condominium regime which was halted due to the Plaintiff’s reckless litigation described below.

an existing hotel property for redevelopment located at Juan Dolio, another popular resort

aforementioned deposit in order to allow for the immediate payment of commissions to Impact

the Passport product unusual is that commissions and marketing costs on 100% of the purchase

purchase price which was secured by a promissory note from the purchaser and due to the
development. However, the notes were never paid. In other words on a typical sale with a
purchase price of $100,000.00, total commisions to Catledge and the Impact Entities were
$28,000.00, and another $22,000.00 in commissions went to the Elliott Companies which were
put back into the project, leaving $50,000 due from Catledge and the Impact Entities purchaser
which was never collected. The net effect is that $28,000 which went to Catledge and the Impact
Entities, plus the $50,000 due from the purchasers was never collected, leaving the project

Impact and its sales agents did not themselves become compliant in any of those states, contrary
81. Impact actually refused to become compliant because, upon information and
belief, Catledge did not wish to spend the legal and other fees required to become complaint, and
Catledge further insisted that all purchases had to be "closed" in the Dominican Republic,
necessitating the development of a complete set of the fractional interest purchase documentation
82. Impact also insisted that all purchasers be reimbursed for their airfare to the
Dominican Republic, and be entitled to stay at the hotel, with all food and beverages, free of
charge.

promissory notes, whereby prospective purchasers were obligated to pay the remaining 50% of

superseded any non-compliant documentation created Catledge and Impact. For example, the so
called deposit agreement states that it is merely an expression of interest and is not a binding
document.

almost $36 million in cash from sales, most of this has been paid out in commissions and legal

away from completion. Construction re-started at Juan Dolio on March 5th, 2009 and was

settled due to cash flow problems caused by the payment of excessive commissions and
prepayment of commissions not collected from the Impact sales force, construction cost overruns
89. Further, the timing of the global economic downturn in 2007 significantly
reduced demand for timeshare investments and their use, thus significantly negatively impacting
the ability to restructure loans, and obtain new sources of capital, and has caused purchasers to
withhold cash needed for operating the resort and fund construction.
90. Nevertheless, restructuring efforts were well under way, as SVJD had hired
Remax as sales agent, implementing a traditional sales agent force, with compliant selling
strategies and legal framework. Remax filed an affidavit with the court anticipating complete

Also, as is customary, EMI Resorts Inc. and/or EMI Resorts (S.V.G.) Inc. are generally paid a
management fee from each timeshare sale in an amount generally less than the sales commission
earned and paid to the actual sales force. In the case of EMISVI (Cofresi), all commissions and

In the case of SVJD, all such management fees were agreed to by Catledge and Impact.

flexible options to honor their note obligation, including significant prepayment discounts of up
to 40% and even the ability to "turn in" and "consolidate" one of every three fractions where

commitments, was forced to sell (factored) notes due from fractional purchasers to Inversiones

Aviati did not act upon a single demand in the case of any purchaser and no note has been

their option to renew due to the litigation and misrepresentations made by the Impact sales force.

which the Elliott Companies reasonably relied) suggesting that Catledge and the Impact agents

110. Specifically, the Corporate Defendants discovered that (1) Catledge's registration
with an NASD member brokerage firm was terminated as of July 13, 2005, (2) Impact was not
an NASD member brokerage firm, (3) neither Catledge nor any other member of Impact held a
111. Upon discovery of Catledge and the Impact agents' failure to hold proper
regulatory licenses, the Corporate Defendants demanded that Catledge and the Impact agents
immediately obtain proper valid regulatory licenses. However, after several promises made by
Catledge, and hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by the Corporate Defendants to prepare
compliant documentation (which Catledge and the Impact Entities failed to use) Catledge and
the Impact agents were ultimately unable or unwilling to get proper licensing.
112. Accordingly, on October 17, 2008, the Elliott Companies (called the Elliott
Group) issued a demand letter (the "Demand Letter") upon Catledge and the Impact Entities
pursuant to which the malfeasance discovered by the Elliott Companies was detailed.
It has become painfully obvious that these "sales" by Impact/Net Worth have
been grossly deficient, for the following reasons (without limitation):

Elliott Group considers that James Catledge, as the directing mind of Impact/Net
Worth and the principal beneficiary of the malfeasance and frauds of Impact/Net
Worth, is personally liable for all liabilities and obligations of Impact/Net Worth.
Demand Letter, October 17, 2008. A true and correct copy of the Demand Letter is attached

Impact/Net Worth pay $29,000,000 as a result of the losses and damages incurred by the Elliott
Companies because of the malfeasance, breach of contract, negligence and bad faith of
Impact/Net Worth.
115. Upon information and belief, in October 2008, Catledge, in an effort to deflect
attention away from himself, and in order to take revenge on the Elliotts for asserting claims

against him, began a brutal campaign to discredit and destroy the Elliotts and their companies
with litigation and defamatory publicity spanning multiple jurisdictions, including this one.
Catledge and his Attorneys' Campaign to Discredit and Destroy the Elliotts
116. Upon information and belief, Catledge and Michael Diaz, Jr., managing partner of
Diaz Reus, decided to exploit a group of investors (Rick Hawker, Ruben Meja, David
Rocheford, Richard Smith, Norm Sorensen, Steve Thompson and Martha Valeria), who had
formed a committee that wished to sue the Elliotts, called the "EClient Committee" ("ECC").
117. The ECC – through the use of the internet (www.eclientscom.com) and telephone
solicitation – had been recruiting investors to join in a collective action against the Elliott
Defendants. James Catledge was a financial backer and participant – if not the mastermind as
118. Initially, the ECC required each plaintiff investor to contribute one percent of
U.S. Litigation
119. Sometime in November, 2008, the ECC was convinced to retain the Diaz Reus
law firm to "investigate the actions of Derek & Fred Elliott (Elliotts) and their representatives in
connection with the sale of fractional real estate, residences products and other interests in the
Dominican Republic referred by Impact, Impact Net Worth, Net Worth Solutions and/or other
5
Subsequently, the amount increased to 1.5% and then 2%. After these contributions were insufficient to meet the
mounting attorneys’ fees and costs, the Diaz Reus law firm began sending the individual investors bills for their
pro-rated share of the outstanding fees and costs. The bills did not explain how the fees and costs were incurred or
how the division of fees and costs were allocated across the investors.

120. On November 13, 2008, Diaz wrote a letter to the members of the ECC informing
them that James Catledge and Impact officers Tom O’Hagan and John Thomson had contributed
to the ECC Retainer Fund and that the ECC would not sue these individuals or Impact in any
legal action.7
121. Over the ensuing four (4) months, the Diaz Reus team reviewed "hundreds of
thousands" of documents8 and used the ruse of criminal prosecution to turn Gregory Clark, the
Elliott Companies' former Chief Financial Officer against the Elliotts and improperly extract
confidential and privileged information from him regarding the operations of the Elliott Group of
Companies.9
122. In a February 17, 2009, conference call with investors and ECC Clients, Diaz told
the investors that he had proof that they were victimized by the Elliotts, and not Catledge:

124. On March 3, 2009, the ECC "launched" its litigation by having Klaus Hofmann
file a 53-page RICO complaint. The Hofmann complaint was signed by Hilda Piloto of Arnstein
& Lehr, LLP and not Michael Diaz or any attorney from his firm. Diaz used Piloto as a front to
avoid the appearance of impropriety arising from a conflict of interest between his then clients,
the innocent investors and Catledge and his Impact agent investors.
125. Subsequently, on March 13, 2009, Aurelio Aguilar and 414 former Impact agents
filed a RICO complaint that simply parroted the Hofmann complaint, including attaching

informing them that he has filed two lawsuits "in an effort to assist you in recovering your
investment and protecting your interests in the fractional interests and or residence investment
products that you purchased in the Dominican Republic from the Elliotts."11 Diaz also advised
that he had been retained to represent Catledge in a Utah lawsuit and other actions and informed
his clients that Catledge has been "instrumental in providing . . .information" and that they have

which I estimate to number about 1500, who form a class of persons who have contracted with
the Defendants concerning the acquisition of time shares, and fractional condominium interests

128. This combination of purchasers also took an ex parte TRO obtained in the U.S. to
the Turks and Caicos Islands and used it to obtain an ex parte TRO from the Turks and Caicos
Islands court.
129. In obtaining the Turks and Caicos TRO, Plaintiffs and their counsel never
informed the Turks and Caicos court of the expiration of the U.S. TRO, and made additional
misrepresentations concerning the background and status of this matter. After the Turks and
Caicos court learned of the Plaintiffs’ deceit, on April 9, 2009 the court discharged the TRO by

130. On May 1, 2009 and May 29, 2009, the two groups of investors each obtained ex
parte TROs from two different Dominican Republic courts, freezing the Elliott Companies'
assets and endangering (and ultimately preventing) the completion of the Juan Dolio resort.14
131. In obtaining the TRO, Catledge and his counsel (the Diaz Law Firm) informed the
court that the United States and the Turks and Caicos Islands entered TROs, and never told the
court that this Court allowed the U.S. TRO to expire and that the Turks and Caicos Islands’ court

foreclosed on their mortgage in the sum of $7.7 million and took possession of the Juan Dolio

secured by the Cofresi property. The winning bidder in the auction sale paid $4.5 million for the
property which had been appraised only months before in July 2009 at $58,084,617.71.

135. As a result of the disastrous legal strategy employed by Plaintiffs, the entire
equity value of the Corporate Defendants has been obliterated, thus destroying any chance of
recovery for the Plaintiffs from the sale of Corporate Defendant assets.16
Plaintiffs' Counsel Refuses to Sue Catledge and the Impact Entities and Agents
136. In lawsuits around the country, Catledge and his agents have been sued for
participating in an alleged "ponzi scheme" for securities fraud, but not here.
137. As of the time of this filing, counsel for the remaining Plaintiffs (formerly
referred to as the Hofmann Plaintiffs) has steadfastly refused to sue Catledge and the Impact
Entities and agents, even though it is Catledge and the Impact Entities who have direct privity
138. Putting aside for the moment the obvious conflict of interest that would arise were
Plaintiffs' counsel to sue Catledge and the Impact Entities and agents, this refusal is suspicious
because Plaintiffs have adopted the Special Master's Report [D.E. 832] pursuant to which the
Special Master identified wrong-doing perpetrated by Catledge and the Impact Entities.
139. Obviously, something is very wrong when Plaintiffs' counsel refuses to sue the
individuals and entities in actual privity with the Plaintiffs, and whom have been singled out as
having been the "main architect" of a "ponzi-like" scheme which allegedly caused millions in

non-parties whom Plaintiffs have failed to join in this action and who are necessary and/or

144. Upon information and belief, Catledge operates Impact as a network marketing
company. Much like a pyramid scheme, Impact has a tiered compensation system which has a
"promotion level" and an "ownership" level. Impact's compensation plan identified 10 levels of

Upon information and belief, none of the Impact agents at any "Ownership Level" actually obtained real estate
licenses. Once this was discovered by the Corporate Defendants, this, among other reasons including
misrepresentations regarding securities and time share licensing, led the Corporate Defendants to terminate the
relationship with Catledge and the Impact Entities in June 2008. A demand letter was sent to Catledge in October
2008, and shortly thereafter Catledge began his campaign against the Elliotts and the Corporate Defendants
culminating in the instant lawsuit (among others brought in the Turks & Caicos Islands and the Dominican
Republic).

146. Catledge and the Impact agents listed above as indispensable parties are all
members of the "Ownership Level" of the Impact Entities, and as "owners," they are responsible
for the direct and indirect malfeasance of those below them in the Impact/Net Worth corporate
structure.
Plaintiffs Effectively Admit that Catledge and the Impact Entities and
Agents are Indispensible Parties by Adopting the Special Master's Report
147. On November 25, 2009, the Plaintiffs adopted the Special Master's Report and
Recommendation Following Preliminary Forensic Analysis (the "Report") [D.E. 832] in toto.
[D.E. 851].18 Accordingly, by such adoption, the Plaintiffs have admitted that they agree with
the Special Master's observations and preliminary findings regarding Catledge and the Impact
Entities and agents which have been inexplicably excluded from the prior complaint or the
Amended Complaint.
148. The Amended Complaint (which is substantively no different than the original
complaint) failed to join or "consolidate" Catledge and the Impact Entities and agents.
149. Upon information and belief, the reason Plaintiffs' counsel has failed to join
Catledge and the Impact Entities and agents is because Catledge and his attorneys instigated and

directed the litigation strategy against the Elliotts and the Corporate Defendants in a pre-emptive
strike to deflect attention away from the fact that the Elliotts and the Corporate Defendants were
gearing up litigation against Catledge and the Impact Entities and agents as described above.
150. As a result of Plaintiffs' failure to join Catledge and the Impact Entities and agents
as necessary and indispensable parties to the Amended Complaint, the Amended Complaint
should be dismissed.

Plaintiffs have failed to attach any documentation specific to any Plaintiff other than Klaus

Amended Complaint, or held at Plaintiffs' counsels' offices19 varies with each Plaintiff to the
point where it would be impossible for the Corporate Defendants to reasonably respond to each
claim, especially in light of the fact that the Corporate Defendants have no access to their own
books and records as a result of the Special Master/ Monitor having seized same. However,
what is clear is that the only thing the Plaintiffs' purchase documents show (to the extent
Plaintiffs have any documents) is the connection between the Plaintiffs and Impact Entities and
agents – they do not show a connection between the Plaintiffs and which Corporate Defendants

Counsel for the Corporate Defendants reviewed what Plaintiffs counsel' considered purchase documents for the
Plaintiffs at Plaintiffs' counsel's offices on January 27, 2010 for approximately 4 hours but will need to reschedule a
time to review the documents again, assuming the Court does not order turnover of the purchase documents to the
Corporate Defendants. However, during the review, it became painfully clear that Plaintiffs' counsel does not have
sufficient documentation to support causes of action against the Corporate Defendants, and in fact, Plaintiffs had no
documentation whatsoever for at least 6 Plaintiffs, and only an intake form from Impact for many other Plaintiffs.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs must be required to turn over copies of their "purchase documents" so that the Corporate
Defendants can review same.

dismissed the "Aguilar Plaintiffs"20 Complaint, and gave the "Aguilar Plaintiffs" twenty days
from Judge McAliley's final Report and Recommendation on alignment and disqualification
precisely because the Aguilar Plaintiffs failed to state a RICO claim. Importantly, the Court
recognized that the Hofmann Complaint (at that time) had only one plaintiff, whereas the Aguilar
Plaintiffs numbered in the hundreds. The Court further ruled that the Aguilar Complaint failed
to state a claim because it failed to allege each individual Aguilar Plaintiffs' interests, ownership
and claims of each Aguilar Plaintiff. Moreover, the Court observed that the Aguilar Complaint

motion to intervene [D.E. 4] "for the purposes of filing a consolidated complaint setting forth
with specificity the interests, ownership and claims of each intervenor." [D.E. 714].
157. However, the Plaintiffs have woefully failed to plead a civil RICO cause of
action. In addition, the actions which allegedly make up this RICO cause of action occurred
wholly without the United States, and therefore United States RICO laws are unavailing to the
Plaintiffs.

Instead, the Amended Complaint merely repeats general and conclusory allegations that the

Defendants allegedly made to each of the Plaintiffs; (2) the time and place of, and person
responsible for such statements by the Corporate Defendants to each of the Plaintiffs; (3) the
content and manner in which the alleged misrepresentations were made; and (4) what the
Corporate Defendants allegedly gained from such alleged misrepresentations as required by Rule

occurred wholly without the United States, and therefore United States RICO laws are

Unjust Enrichment

an express contract does not exist. Put differently, claims for unjust enrichment must be

182. Count VIII fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

reasons:

documents, because the Special Master has custody and control of same, and as a result

purchase documents supposedly held by Plaintiffs' counsel. Although counsel for the Corporate
Defendants was unable to review all of the files held by Plaintiffs' counsel, one thing became
crystal clear as a result of the preliminary review: Plaintiffs' counsel does not have all or even
most of the proper purchase documents that would support a claim for relief before this Court.
209. For example, counsel for the Corporate Defendants discovered the following

Plaintiffs' documentary support is revealed. Clearly, Plaintiffs have attempted to skirt their

such that it is impossible to know exactly what Plaintiffs are claiming as the product purchased.
For example, Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint inexplicably and confusingly combines information
for Ramiro Efrain and Silva Barrera such that it is impossible to know exactly what product has

213. Accordingly, the Amended Complaint, at the very minimum, must be amended to
include copies of the relevant and legally binding purchase documents for each and every
Plaintiff. Until such documents are provided to the Corporate Defendants, the Corporate
Defendants are unable to frame a response to the claims asserted by the Plaintiffs in the
Amended Complaint.
214. Klaus Hofmann, upon information and belief, at all material times hereto, is a
resident of Park City, Utah. None of the other intervenor plaintiffs that ultimately came to be
known, with Hofmann as the "Hofmann Plaintiffs" and then "Plaintiffs" herein reside in the state

as the Dominican Republic, Canada, Turks and Caicos Islands, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
and Gibraltar. The Corporate Defendants have no minimum contacts with the Southern District

jurisdiction.

Improper Venue
218. Plaintiff Klaus Hofmann ("Hofmann"), and upon information and belief many
other Plaintiffs, flew to the Dominican Republic where he allegedly entered into certain
international contracts for the purchase of vacation ownership products from certain of the
Corporate Defendants (by way of his relationship with Catledge and his Impact Entities and
agents).
219. In the contracts entered into, Hofmann agreed that if he had a dispute with respect
to the contract, he would adjudicate the dispute in the Turks and Caicos Islands pursuant to
220. Specifically, Hofmann entered into a "Rental Agreement" with EMISVI which
with Sun Village Juan Dolio Inc. ("SVJD") that states in pertinent part:
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Turks and
Caicos Islands, British West Indies for all matters in which a court of competent jurisdiction in

Case 1:09-cv-20526-ASG Document 940 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/01/2010 Page 109 of

222. Since Hofmann, and upon information and belief21 other Plaintiffs (to the extent
themselves and the Corporate Defendants) failed to adhere to the forum selection clause of the
Rental Agreement or the Vacation Interval Ownership Agreement, venue for him as well as all
Plaintiffs is improper in this jurisdiction, and the Court should accordingly dismiss the Amended
Complaint.
224. Plaintiffs have alleged a RICO cause of action, and have further asserted the
existence of a "ponzi" or "ponzi-like" scheme perpetrated by the Elliotts and the Corporate
conclusions with few specific factual allegations tying individual Plaintiffs to the Corporate
Defendants. The Amended Complaint does not allege with specificity how much was invested
or lost by any of these individuals, because the operative documents are not attached.
225. Moreover, the Amended Complaint never alleges when and under what
circumstances the individual transactions occurred. Instead, the Amended Complaint attempts to
add these numerous Plaintiffs as some type of unified, collective plaintiff seeking collective
21
As previously stated, Corporate Defendants have no access to their books and records which have been seized by
the Special Master. Accordingly, the Corporate Defendants reserve the right to amend their affirmative defenses
after review of such books and records, or after production by the Plaintiffs.

cause of action.
227. As set forth, the Plaintiffs' claims are merely a jumble of conclusory allegations
that entirely fail to meet the minimum pleading requirements of Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, do not state causes of action for which they may seek relief, and must therefore
be dismissed.
228. The Plaintiffs allegations against all of the Corporate Defendants are made in the
aggregate and, consequently, each Corporate Defendant is prevented from evaluating whether an
individual Plaintiff has sufficiently alleged a claim against that particular Corporate Defendant.
230. In connection with this pleading deficiency, the Corporate Defendants are unable
to properly formulate a response without distinguishing the allegations that apply to particular
231. All the counts directed to the Corporate Defendants are vague, ambiguous and
confusing; thus making it impossible for the Corporate Defendants to address the claims asserted
232. The Amended Complaint must be dismissed on the basis of forum non
conveniens.
233. The Plaintiffs agreed to have their disputes adjudicated in the Turks and Caicos
Islands.

to Turks and Caicos Islands law and obtained a Mareva injunction (later thrown out) from the
Turks and Caicos Islands court and also commenced an action against the Elliotts and their

238. Many of the Corporate Defendants are incorporated or organized under the laws

to assert contacts with the state of Florida is Plaintiff Hofmann who actually, upon information
241. The only connection with the state of Florida is Plaintiffs' counsel, and that does
not count.
242. Clearly, this case should be tried in either the Dominican Republic or the Turks
243. Accordingly, the Amended Complaint should be dismissed on the basis of forum
non conveniens.

Estoppel
244. Plaintiffs who purchased fractional ownership interests and who executed
promissory notes for the benefit of the Corporate Defendants are estopped from disregarding
such commitments to pay on their promissory notes due to their own negligence in allowing the
impairment of the Corporate Defendants' assets through a reckless litigation strategy designed to
destroy the equity value of such assets described above. Plaintiffs are further estopped from
enforcing any contracts with any Corporate Defendants as a result of their failure to execute all
of the required compliant documentation required by the Corporate Defendants. Plaintiffs failed
to conduct proper due diligence relating to such contracts because Plaintiffs failed to challenge
Catledge and his Impact Entities and agents when they were not provided with the compliant
245. To the extent Plaintiffs have suffered any alleged loss or harm, by their actions, as
alleged above, Plaintiffs have failed to act reasonably to mitigate any such loss or harm, which

Impairment of Collateral

the value of the collateral was impaired due to Plaintiffs' gross negligence with respect to their

litigation strategy designed to destroy the Corporate Defendants and which led to the foreclosure
of the Cofresi and Juan Dolio properties, leading to net loss of over $100 million in equity as
described above.
248. The Corporate Defendants preserve their denial of liability and the existence of
Unclean Hands
249. By their actions described above, Plaintiffs have unclean hands and are thus
barred from recovering under any legal or equitable theory of law set forth in the Amended
Complaint.
Lack of Consideration
250. As more fully described above, although Plaintiffs who purchased fractional
ownership interests paid for half of the purchase price upon closing, the remainder of the
purchase price was financed through promissory notes made payable to the benefit of certain of
251. Contemporaneously with the closing of such purchases and the issuance of such
promissory notes, even though only half of the purchase price was actually paid to certain of the
Corporate Defendants, commissions were paid to Catledge and his Impact Entities and agents for
the full purchase price amount. When Plaintiffs failed to pay their installments on their
promissory notes, the Corporate Defendants did not receive the benefit of any bargain with such
Plaintiffs, and in fact, were placed in a net loss situation because of the payment of commissions

Corporate Defendants for the Corporate Defendants' loan to the Plaintiffs for half of the purchase
Setoff
253. Plaintiffs claims, to the extent they are plead and proven against the Corporate
Defendants, must be setoff by the amount Plaintiffs owe to the Corporate Defendants on the
unpaid promissory notes executed by those Plaintiffs who purchased fractional ownership
interest product from certain of the Corporate Defendants as more fully described above.
Pending Discovery

as discovery proceeds, and once the Corporate Defendants once again have access to their books

30. Based on this representation (false as it turns out) certain of the Elliott Companies
caused to be prepared a "Founders Interest Fee Agreement" for the Residential Beneficial
Interest ("RBI") (Fractional Product) at the Juan Dolio property (the "Juan Dolio Property") for
the Impact sales force. Purchasers of this fractional ownership product would own 1/13 interests
31. James Catledge was insistent that the Elliott Companies prepare a product
whereby purchasers could purchase with an initial deposit of 50% down with the remaining 50%
paid with a promissory note over a 10 year period with monthly payments of principal and
interest.
32. Greenberg Traurig prepared the promissory notes (the "Notes") for purchasers to
execute alongside the purchase and disclosure documentation. The Notes are self explanatory

34. With respect to security for the promissory notes, James Catledge argued that
with a 50% deposit, the Elliott Companies should waive any credit check and that if a Note was
not paid the Elliott Companies would have the ability to foreclose on the deposit if necessary.
35. Catledge also demanded that since the Elliott Companies were fully secure with
the Notes that commissions due and owing to him, Impact sales agents, and his DRCI Cook
Islands Trust be paid at the 100% value of the purchase price, not the 50% initial deposit
amount.

37. In all, of the $36,000,000 in Notes due, the Elliott Companies prepaid over
$10,000,000 in commissions and expenses to James Catledge, Impact and his DRCI Cook
Islands Trust.
38. The ability of the Elliott Companies to collect on these Notes was critical to the
stability and completion of the Juan Dolio project and the ability of the Elliott Companies to
purchasers of the fractional ownership interest product by Catledge and his Impact agents.
Specifically, Catledge and his Impact agents were telling purchasers that they would not have to
40. Once the Elliott Defendants discovered these material misrepresentations being
made by Catledge and his Impact agents, and it became clear that Catledge and his Impact agents
were not going to honor their licensing obligations, the Elliott Companies terminated the
relationship with Catledge and the Impact Entities in June 2008 and served Catledge and Impact
41. Notwithstanding the debacle caused by Catledge and the Impact Entities, the
Elliott Companies, upon discovery of the malfeasance of Catledge and the Impact Entities,
attempted to rectify the misrepresentations with purchasers by offering several, more flexible
monthly payment terms and even the ability to "turn in" and "consolidate" every one in three
fractions for those who had multiple units, further accommodating the purchasers even though

and belief, purchased or may have purchased fractional ownership interest product and executed
promissory notes in relation thereto. As noted previously, much of the documentary support for
such claims are not accessible to the Counter-Plaintiffs as a result of the seizure of same by the

As has been previously noted, the Corporate Defendants do not have access to their books and records and thus
cannot allege with specificity exactly which Elliott Company assigned its interest to Sun Village Juan Dolio Inc.
Accordingly, the Corporate Defendants reserve the right to further amend this counterclaim once the Corporate
Defendants have their books and records returned, or Plaintiffs provide the Notes pursuant to discovery.

1641. Upon information and belief, Catledge and Michael Diaz, Jr., managing partner of
Diaz Reus, decided to exploit a group of investors (Rick Hawker, Ruben Meja, David
Rocheford, Richard Smith, Norm Sorensen, Steve Thompson and Martha Valeria), who had
formed a committee that wished to sue the Elliotts, called the "EClient Committee" ("ECC").
1642. The ECC – through the use of the internet (www.eclientscom.com) and telephone
solicitation – had been recruiting investors to join in a collective action against the Elliott
Defendants. James Catledge was a financial backer and participant – if not the mastermind as
1643. Initially, the ECC required each plaintiff investor to contribute one percent of
U.S. Litigation
1644. Sometime in November, 2008, the ECC was convinced to retain the Diaz Reus
law firm to "investigate the actions of Derek & Fred Elliott (Elliotts) and their representatives in
connection with the sale of fractional real estate, residences products and other interests in the
Dominican Republic referred by Impact, Impact Net Worth, Net Worth Solutions and/or other
1645. On November 13, 2008, Diaz wrote a letter to the members of the ECC informing
them that James Catledge and Impact officers Tom O’Hagan and John Thomson had contributed
27
Subsequently, the amount increased to 1.5% and then 2%. After these contributions were insufficient to meet the
mounting attorneys’ fees and costs, the Diaz Reus law firm began sending the individual investors bills for their
pro-rated share of the outstanding fees and costs. The bills did not explain how the fees and costs were incurred or
how the division of fees and costs were allocated across the investors.

to the ECC Retainer Fund and that the ECC would not sue these individuals or Impact in any
legal action.29
1646. Over the ensuing four (4) months, the Diaz Reus team reviewed "hundreds of
thousands" of documents30 and used the ruse of criminal prosecution to purportedly "flip"
Gregory Clark, the Elliott Companies' former Chief Financial Officer, and improperly extract
confidential and privileged information from him regarding the operations of the Elliott Group of
Companies.31
1647. In a February 17, 2009, conference call with investors and ECC Clients, Diaz told
the investors that he had proof that they were victimized by the Elliotts, and not Catledge:
1648. During this same conference call, Richard Smith, head of the ECC, explained the
Diaz’ strategy: "[W]e’re taking the kind of action that when we launch this lawsuit it will be so

1649. On March 3, 2009, the ECC "launched" its litigation by having Klaus Hofmann
file a 53-page RICO complaint. The Hofmann complaint was signed by Hilda Piloto of Arnstein
& Lehr, LLP and not Michael Diaz or any attorney from his firm. Diaz used Piloto as a front to
avoid the appearance of impropriety arising from a conflict of interest between his then clients,
the innocent investors and Catledge and his Impact agent investors.
1650. Subsequently, on March 13, 2009, Aurelio Aguilar and 414 former Impact agents
filed a RICO complaint that simply parroted the Hofmann complaint, including attaching
1651. On March 16, 2009, Diaz sent another letter to the 737 members of the ECC
informing them that he has filed two lawsuits "in an effort to assist you in recovering your
investment and protecting your interests in the fractional interests and or residence investment
products that you purchased in the Dominican Republic from the Elliotts."33 Diaz also advised
that he had been retained to represent Catledge in a Utah lawsuit and other actions and informed
his clients that Catledge has been "instrumental in providing . . .information" and that they have

1653. This combination of purchasers also took an ex parte TRO obtained in the U.S. to
the Turks and Caicos Islands and used it to obtain an ex parte TRO from the Turks and Caicos
Islands court.
1654. In obtaining the Turks and Caicos TRO, Plaintiffs and their counsel never
informed the Turks and Caicos court of the expiration of the U.S. TRO, and made additional
misrepresentations concerning the background and status of this matter. After the Turks and
Caicos court learned of the Plaintiffs’ deceit, on April 9, 2009 the court discharged the TRO,
stating:
This case causes me some disquiet. The timing of an application of this nature
at the same time as a similar action in Florida, the failure to mention so
many clearly important material facts in an affidavit prepared by an
attorney specifically for an ex parte application, the subsequent manner in
which the order was publicized and the failure to take similar action to advise of
the amendment to the original order all add to that disquiet.
Motion to Disqualify, Reason for Decision dated April 20, 2009, attached as Exhibit 12.
(emphasis added).
1655. On May 1, 2009 and May 29, 2009, the two groups of investors each obtained ex
parte TROs from two different Dominican Republic courts, freezing the Elliott Companies'
assets and endangering (and ultimately preventing) the completion of the Juan Dolio resort.36
1656. In obtaining the TRO, Catledge and his counsel (the Diaz Law Firm) informed the
court that the United States and the Turks and Caicos Islands entered TROs, and never told the
