How in the world did he get involved with the purchase of his shares of Negril Beach Club resort?? What are his plans for the property knowing that he cannot take over the condos. I just remembered I met a couple in Dec/Jan who were owners of a condo and had been for years. When Raz got involved he tried his strong arm tactics with getting them to sell. They basically told him to go to H-E-double hockey sticks.
How did he get involved? Great question. All I heard from the previous management is that he comes from one of the wealthiest families in Israel. OK. So what? Had they done a Google search they could have learned his vacation rentals are scams & he's a bad guy to deal w/ financially. They just wanted out & apparently didn't do any background check on the guy. No integrity, obvious con man. Strong arm tactics... very true. He will NOT take no for an answer. Apparently he thought he was getting the whole property in the deal & that's what he wants, everything. Somehow he's managed to get hold of NIOC. Individually owned condos... that's a lot of people he's going to have to break down. Hmmmmm... maybe that's part of his plan in not paying the Strata fees. Just thought of that possibility. Break the owners down financially. Still, he'll have dozens of units he'd have to purchase. I have no idea where this mess is going or how it will play out in the long run. Sad that it's been allowed to go on this long. I really feel for my friends who work there. They barely make enough to take a taxi back & forth to work. Then there's rent, food, school fees, clothing for their children, etc., etc.
