That would be a very long lawsuit, and would draw in all the players that had a hand in creating and marketing the tax free bonds, including the developer, bankers, accountants and investment advisers. If it was found that the VCDD acted in good faith in selling the bonds, they would be the least culpable in this cast of characters.

Anyway, that's the way I see it.
That would be my understanding of the issues as well. We do have people on this forum who have given their professional opinion on the bonds since that is what they do (did) for a living. Please search past posts on this issue and you'll see all sides and opinions.

It would actually be in the best interest of all current TV homeowners to get this issue settled sooner than later. That way the developer has more of a stake while there are still many thousands of homes to sell. But either way I would think the average homeowner in TV will be minimally affected if at all. But what the heck do I know
