For everyone who "trust" the Morse Family and believe they would "do the right thing" ... do you have as much faith in them as the clients of Bernie Madoff had in him before they found out he had taken them for every cent they had?

I'm not saying the Morse Family won't step up to the plate and do the right thing if push comes to shove or that they are in any way like Bernie Madoff and what he did, I'm just pointing out that there are a lot of ruthless business people out there.

Comparing Morse to Madoff. Is this where Urban Legends begin?

I'm not dissing the Morse's, but just being realistic about business people and their practices.

we ever hear anything from The Morse Family about this issue? I don't know but I think it will be a non issue for TV residence so long as there is more development going forward. The "M" family still have a lot to do here and I don't think they would kill the goose that has laid the golden egg. But I wonder why we don't ever hear from them about this issue?

So relax for at least the next five years or so. JMO

I'll bet they would never speak publicly on any issue that might be even remotely controversial. They're attention to only positive statements is a great sales tool. Can 80,00 people be wrong. Could they get away with anything shady for better than 25 years. IMHO, not much of a chance on either count.

They can't get away with it if somebody is paying attention and wants to take them to court, which is the only option with Morse and his minions.

You are probably correct. All of the retirement communities that we've looked at are the same way, stressing just the positives and the lifestyle.

Developers are there to make as much money as they can, develop an area and pocket the money

I don't think in this economy you can trust anyone completely, the Morses were sued and lost before, the IRS will get their money, I think you need to develop a community group BEFORE anything else happens, it never hurts to discuss in an open forum and with the talent in The Villages you should pursue options

this is the suit they lost

How long have you lived in The Villages?

I hope this link works, I just read that a villager won a million dollars in the lottery last month.

YES. I am trying to get off this subject of gloom and doom.

Read this, smile, and then go back to what you were talking about.
