I could have sworn you sent me an email asking about the hearing bu= I can't find it anywhere. I wasn't surprised the judge denied the =otion to dismiss this time around. My argument is better suited for a s=mmary judgment motion at this point.

Mike Kranz did tell me that the bank was discussing settlement w/ Hardman a=d had offered him a 35% reduction in payoff amount or short sale approval =hich he was considering. I asked him to please keep me in the loop.

More later. Sorry for not letting you know about hearing sooner.

I don't know whether I sent you an e-mail or del=ted it instead of sending. I wrote to remind you to file for all Hardma= Development records, especially the bank statements and check register, f=om Mike. Follow up with a call to Mark. I am worried he may destroy =he records and say he never saved them. I want to see where the $1.4 =illion went. I never signed any checks or saw any bank statements, bi=ls from our contractor, etc.

Thanks, I got the notice of lis pendens. I'll look in the court f=le to see if a foreclosure has been filed. I suspect his next step migh= be to file for bankruptcy.

## Dear Trent,

I think I know why Mike called me. I just looked =im up on Palm Beach & Citrus Co. Clerk's websites. Stonegate Ba=k filed a Lis Pendens on the Citrus Springs property he took a mortgage on=with Roland because they are seeking to foreclose. The Lis Pendens is f=led in both counties. My guess is the old Choice property is worth less=than he owes on it and he is not paying any of the mortgages, so the whole=ball is unraveling.

I am faxing them to ████████ so they are avialba=e in your computer.

Steve
