When you say "TV", I assume you mean the developer. I do not believe the developer was involved in this. I believe this was an issue for the CDDs.

Or why they promptly agreed to waive pressing any charges if the basic "fee" was paid.........even anonymously?

Why dont you check with crime against seniors. Maybe they could answer your questions.Face it this happens a lot if you have enough money sue the attorney that formed the fake organization for illegal practices.

But aren't deals made all the time? I still think that the developer, as a business practice, does not want a drawn-out investigation due to the publicity. they are probably very amenable to a deal and may well have pushed for the amnesty offer.

And call me suspicious, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are the Friends of Lake Miona and paid the $ themselves.

When I use TV I am not referring to the developer. I am referring to the many lettered...CCD, VCCD, TWA, etc organizations that in essence administer TV.

Here is a novel approach. The settlement offer was made by the CCD5 Board in the July meeting. The offer has been accepted by The Friends of Lake Minoa. I would be willing to bet that the acceptance will be discussed in the August Board Meeting. All of the posters objecting to the settlement attend the CCD5 Meeting next Friday at 8:00 am. I believe the meetings are held at the Lake Minoa Rec Center. You can get you questions answered directly from the decision makers involved with the settlement offer.

My understanding is that Civil Compromise of a Criminal Action is a No, No. However, if the payment of $25K+ satisfies the TOTAL obligation, why beat a dead horse.
I am also concerned as to why the estimate of $50K+ was being bandied about by the powers that be when it seems, that they were wiling to settle, without consequences, for less than half of the "estimated cost."

Is total compensation for all cost incured and disclosure of the name of the agreeving parties , in any way, "a pound of flesh"?

Actually that would amount only to mere restitution and, IMHO quite generously, forgiveness of all criminal behavior.

How do you know it has been "settled"?
