Greed Destroyed Sun Grove Resort Village

GREED DESTROYED ALL OF THE AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS PROPERTIES

The current AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS Ponzi trial’s mastermind, James S. Koenig, bought 26 properties (24 senior living facilities, a golf course, and an office building) with cash and then he leveraged them with 100% financing to support his lavish lifestyle. Koenig doubled dipped by passing the zero-equity-valued properties off to investors at an inflated value with the promise of huge tax-free investment returns. It was that GREED that destroyed all of the AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS properties, caused the loss of the Investors money, and killed the lifestyle of the seniors that lived in the 24 senior living facilities.  

The California Attorney Greg Owens who investigated AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS said:

 “I personally took his (James Koenig) deposition. He would pay cash for the nursing homes then refinance them and spend the money on luxury cars and vacations. Koenig would run the places into the ground, then go bankrupt.”

Fourteen of the twenty-six AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS properties closed before the 2007 collapse of the PONZI scam. SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE (SGRV) would have been foreclosed upon and closed too if I did not have my former employer, Bank of America, rewrite their four month past due mortgage. I saved SGRV but the thanks that I got was:

1.   SGRV’s Landlord Retaliation of Withholding of Essential Services.

2. SGRV’s Refusal of approving our REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION REQUEST FOR A DISABLED PERSON by allowing the continuing delivery of Carol’s medications.

2.   Over $18,000 of SGRV’s Baseless Lawsuit judgments.

3.  The deaths of my Aunt Catherine Reinertson, the deaths of our three dogs, and the pending death of my wife (who is dying from the rejection of her transplanted liver cause by her exposure to the SGRV toxic mold).

4.   Finally, Carol and I have lost three and a half years of our time trying to clear wrongful judgments, trying to get Justice, and watching our family die because of SGRV’s criminal Felon, Scott Green, and his corrupt co-conspirator lawyer’s, Scott E. Williams, elder abuse and fraud.

The California Attorney Greg Owen hired a private investigator that spent two years examining all the 24 senior living facilities that were purchased by Koenig and he found:

1.  A long string of violations of California Law.

2.  An out-of-control work environment.

3.  A scam that left the properties and investors depleted.

4.  Negligent care of the senior living facilities’ residents.

5.  Administrators that cut corners and who made their priority “PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE.”

6.  No background checks of any of the employees.

7.  Extremely low wages which caused hiring and staffing problems.

8.  RAMPANT CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.

Some of the bad employees and egregious crimes

at the AREI/OAKDALE HEIGHTS properties are:

1.  Employee: Brenda Harper at the Oakdale Heights – Wilmington

In July, 2006 Brenda Harper hit a 90-year old patient in the head three times and swore at her. She was fired, arrested, and convicted of patient abuse and neglect.

2.  Employee: Jose Eduardo Vasquez at Oakdale Heights – Santa Clara

SOPHIE SCHWARTZ
2007 RAPE VICTIM - OAKDALE HEIGHTS

In December, 2007 Jose Eduardo Vasquez sexually assaulted the 92-year-old Sophie Schwartz (picture 1). Jose Eduardo Vasquez pleaded guilty to attempted rape and was sentenced to eight years and four months in state prison. Attorney Greg Owens represented Sophie Schwartz and won a $12.5 million judgment.

3.  Employee:  Marlene Delp at the Terraces of Roseville

In June, 2009 Marlene Delp refused to properly dispense the residents’ medications and she stole medication from the residents to support her drug addiction. Marlene Delp received a 300-day prison sentence, three years on probation, and the suspension of her nursing license.

4.  Employee: Claudia Marquez at Sun Grove Resort Village

From 2005 (03/25/05 she was cited as an impostor nurse by the Arizona Department of Nursing) to the present. Claudia Marquez continues: to misrepresent herself as a nurse, makes medicine delivery mistakes, and poses as a nurse to get confidential medical information on SGRV residents. The complaints we filed against Claudia Marquez with the Arizona Department of Nursing, Peoria Police, and Arizona Attorney General have been ignored.

5.  Employee: Scott Green at Sun Grove Resort Village

Scott Green was hired by SGRV to be the Executive Director on 12/27/04 and he was fired on 08/28/12. Scott Green abused and defrauded seniors at SGRV with: false and misleading advertising, landlord retaliation, withholding of essential services, bullying, elder abuse, senior financial exploitation, posing a medical doctor to get confidential medical information on SGRV residents, and the misuse of the legal system. Scott Green pleaded guilty in 2005 for Medicare Fraud because in 1999/2000 he filed 2,678 bogus claims for nearly $70,000. That Felony conviction can be verified at:

Scott Green made his living scamming seniors and he is presently being investigated for embezzlement.

MANY COMPLAINTS WERE FILED BUT NOTHING WAS DONE BY ARIZONA OFFICIALS.

CLAY HANING
DEFRAUDED 2010
SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE

Millie Totenbusch, Sally Byers, Catherine Reinertson, Carol Fairall (Buck), and Mark Fairall filed complaints against SGRV and Scott Green with the Arizona Attorney General which were ignored. Shari Parrot filed a Peoria Police complaint against SGRV in the summer of 2010 about her deceased father, Clay Haning (picture 2), who had his medication stolen from him and had over $18,000 stolen from him. The Peoria Police said they could do nothing so she filed a complaint on Channel 3 ON YOUR SIDE.

We filed the Peoria Police complaint #01-10-007447 on 05/31/10 against SGRV for elder abuse and fraud. The complaint was closed in September, 2010 by Officer Shari Howard without contacting any of our SGRV abused and defrauded seniors. Peoria Police Chief Roy Minter refused our 11/30/12 request to reopen our complaint because of new evidence and the discovery that Scott Green was a 2005 Medicare Felon. We filed complaints against SGRV in March, 2012 for False Internet Advertising, Elder Abuse, and Fraud with the IC3 and the FBI.

GREED DESTROYED SUN GROVE RESORT VILLAGE

We and Shari Parrott filed elder abuse and fraud complaints against Sun Grove Resort Village (SGRV) but nothing was done. The Peoria Police refused to contact our witnesses and other victims because they did not have the manpower to properly investigate it. The Peoria Police even failed to discover that the SGRV manager, Scott Green, was a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon that made his living defrauding seniors since 1999. Scott Green was terminated from SGRV after eight years of criminal activity there on 08/28/12. Scott Green is presently being investigated for embezzlement. 

We and Catherine Reinertson, Millie Totenbusch, and Sally Byers filed Fair Housing Violation complaints with the Arizona Attorney General but nothing was done.

We filed a formal complaint with the Arizona Department of Health Services about SGRV's false advertising and poor living conditions but nothing was done because it was out of their jurisdiction due to the lack of Arizona Laws.

We and Ruth Grabach filed complaints with the Arizona Board of Nursing about SGRV's Impostor Nurse, Claudia Marquez, who was misrepresenting herself as a nurse, illegally dispensing medications, and illegally obtaining confidential patient information but nothing was done.

We and Pat Forst filed complaints with the Peoria Fire Department that SGRV was a fire hazard with no emergency fire procedures/drills, none working elevator phones, and full gasoline containers behind the clubhouse but nothing was done.

We are other filed complaints with the Arizona Environmental Services concerning poor kitchen procedures and health hazards. SGRV had 13 kitchen inspections in the past three years with 24 major food violations.

Arizona Environmental Services failed SGRV's pool several times and found mold and mosquitoes in the front fountain.

We filed complaints with the Peoria Building Code Inspection about the dangerous exposed electrical wiring, dangerous uneven water filled walkways, and dilapidated building but nothing was done.

We filed a complaint with the Arizona Department of Air Quality and CDC about the mold at SGRV but nothing was done.

JUSTICE does not exist in Arizona for us and our other 58 SGRV abused and defrauded senior victims. In the past three and a half years 33 of those senior have died without one call from any of the media or any Arizona Law Enforcement Officials. No one tried to protect them or the public from these heinous criminal activities of SGRV's ELDER ABUSE and SENIOR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION.
