Aug. 2 TMC owner meeting; final advance story (by Chris V.):

stephenh262, unfortunately, i have discouraging news for you: i hope you didn't send any $$$ to SELLMYTIMESHARE upfront.....if so, kiss it goodbye. your MANHATTAN CLUB TIMESHARE was worth nearly nothng long before the nysag's legal proceedings began, although this action led to more value woes for you and for all MC shareowners. i write from experience: i stupidly sent $1,000 upfront to a sham/fraud (as i later found out) "timeshare real estate broker" in orlando florida about 3 years ago. i heard from them about 2/3 times thereafter, only to find out later that they were "out of business" probably restarting another scam/fraud operation under another name. unless and until eichner and gang are made to give legal financial restitution due to the fraud and false claims occurring from the sales presentation to the present time, our timeshares aren't worth the contract paper (fraudulent as they may be) that they were written on. hope you can attend our aug. 2 meeting. i don't expect concrete results from this conference, but i hope for clarification of issues that are common to all of us MC shareowners: interpretation of the NYSAG investigation and upcoming MC lawsuit; further actions that can be taken by shareowners to recoup some of our investment in the MC, and other issues that owners share in common.

bottom line in reference to this redweek.com posting:

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT A SALE OF YOUR MC SHARE (S) AT THIS TIME. FORGIVE THIS OMINOUS ADVICE, BUT IT IS BASED ON FACT.
