The plaintiff entered into a deposit protection insurance agreement May 22, 2022 to access purchaser deposits held in trust. To secure this insurance the plaintiff was required to certify that there was no buyer right of rescission. The plaintiff was further required to certify how many units were sold. The agreement expired April 1, 2023. 9.The plaintiff is governed by the Real Estate Development Marketing Act. https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/04041_01 A non-compliant act is described in 24 D (ii) a false or misleading statement in a certification under section 18 [handling deposits]. The plaintiff may face 2 years in jail and a $1.5m fine for a first offense. 10. The defendant believes the plaintiff has made false statements and is being investigated for acts of non-compliance of REDMA. As developer the plaintiff accessed purchaser trust deposit funds of $4.9m that required a certification of no right of recession. Since there is a right of recession, one admitted to and always in existence, that certification must be fraudulent. The plaintiff appears to have brazenly committed fraud. 11. As at April 1, 2023, 9022 Clarkson Ave has an $11.5m first mortgage, a $4.9m second mortgage, and $3.5m in other borrowings. Added to the $6.4m of funds raised from the public, $26.5m of others money has been raised by this plaintiff. By his own admission the all-in cost of Beach House at Saratoga is $20.5m. 12. This plaintiff and his group have a right of recession. It is unrealistic to think that any of that group would fail to rescind. Legitimate buyers, if they knew the facts, wouldn’t hesitate to rescind either. The stage is set for a foreclosure from the first mortgage position as a majority of sold out condos held as security are revealed to the lender to be unsold. Worse, they appear unsellable. If deposits have been looted the lender is in dire trouble. 13. A MLS listing appeared for unit A24 on April 18, 2023 for $925k. MLS® Number 929096. This listing was the first to appear after CB Oceanside banned listings at 9022 Clarkson Ave weeks previously. The new selling agent, Corey Zaal, has been proven to be working for Ms. Kirsten Marten, who is trying to sell her condo. 14. A MLS listing appeared for unit A25 on April 24, 2023 for $949,900. MLS® Number 929596. Selling agent is Corey Zaal. 15. A MLS listing appeared for unit A12 on April 26, 2023 for $924,900. MLS® Number 929867. Selling agent is Viet Do. Unit A12 is the same listed by Kirsten Marten. 16. A MLS listing appeared for unit B14 on May 4, 2023 for $1,599,900. MLS® Number: 930216. Selling agent is Corey Zaal. Unit B14 is the same listed by Kirsten Marten. 17. Lack of condo sales is likely related to high price, detrimental zoning and rural location. TC-1 zoning allows 6 months occupancy per year. Condos are greatly overpriced for that zoning. Larger detached homes with land can be had for less in the area. A rental scheme was imagined to help sell sold out condos. It envisions a minimum charge, plus taxes and $250 ‘cleaning fee’, of $4,000 per week. | 1. The defendant recognizes the plaintiff ‘exempt dealer’ as a securities reprobate. The plaintiff’s project, Beach House at Saratoga, in which $6.4m of public investor money has vanished, reached a milestone on April 1, 2023. Purchasers may walk away without penalty and with interest on
their deposits. This event (a right of rescission) is triggered by lack of completion by March 31, 2023. Construction ceased at 9022 Clarkson Ave for months.
5. The insider group tried to flip sold out condos on MLS and they have failed, selling none. A pair of sales occurred Feb 14. Unit C4 was listed for over 560 days. It sold for $799,900 by an agent at CB Oceanside. Unit A6 is the one attempted to be sold by Viet Do and the agent was Kirsten Marten of CB Oceanside. Seller is the plaintiff. It sold for $899,900. Both listings claimed the project was sold out. 7. After April 1 the plaintiff is required to repay $3.5m of short term borrowings from Dundarave Mortgage Investment Corporation |

The plaintiff bought unit C27. Unit B18 and B16 are currently being offered on booking.com. |
