Did Metro's continued "committment" and high profile "announcements" contribute to what be viewed as fraud? How early on did Metro know that they will be folding all the while continuing to market the property?
Let's bo back to the STOCK brokerage (hmmm) world. I'm currently looking at 3 more sets of claims forms in class action vs Merrill Lynch and their contined hyping of Tyco stock. Reading the fine print, the LAWYERS bringing thea ction get the bulk of the $, those who beleived Merrill get a couple pennies per share. Meanwhile, ML, their analysts, the rating agencies etc all made untold millions. If I take the time and complete the paperwork I am entitled to something. That is, until I read the fine(r) print - that if you "flipped" the stock in this little time period or made a profit you are excluded (even though you might of sold just to protect your investment, not the hyped amount you wanted...) Plenty of these condo project were built with funny money, funny promoters and lawyers. No different then the stock market. We are simple people. Greedy. Like a stock, metro sales were taught the phrase "it will only go up.." "These prices won't last..." If you take a depsoit check from someone on Thursday, then stop on Friday. I'd call that fraud.
