Flawed Justifications for Receivership Inclusion
It is critical to highlight that no funds from Chinese investors or disputed sources were used in the acquisition or development of Parc at Windmill Farms. The truth is that the property’s funding was entirely secured through HUD-backed loans and third-party bridge financing. This truth is further substantiated by comprehensive annual audits conducted prior to the receivership’s interference, which consistently demonstrated no irregularities or connections to disputed funds. These audits offer undeniable proof that the funding sources were legitimate, reinforcing the transparency and integrity of the financial practices involved.
The truth behind these facts stands in stark contrast to the misleading claims and flawed assumptions that have been circulated regarding the property. This case underscores the critical importance of ensuring that the truth is not overshadowed by misinterpretation or bias, especially in legal matters where financial integrity is at stake. The truth regarding the funding and development of Parc at Windmill Farms is clear: it was a legitimate and sound investment, free from any controversial or illicit connections.
Despite this clarity, the receiver defended the inclusion of the property based on an alleged connection that two employees, paid through HR Sterling employees leasing company, performed work related to the property. However, the truth remains that this claim is unsupported by credible evidence. The connection alleged by the receiver fails to align with the clear financial history of the property, which was funded solely through HUD-backed loans and third-party bridge financing.
The truth is that there was no connection to disputed funds or any irregularities, as confirmed by comprehensive annual audits conducted prior to the receivership’s interference. This defense based on unsubstantiated claims only emphasizes the need for transparency and accountability in receivership actions to ensure that such decisions are based on the truth rather than conjecture or flawed reasoning.
During the hearing, Mr. Cort Thomas stated:
“The justification for including Parc at Windmill Farms is that at least two employees, whose salary was funded through JMJ Development, worked on aspects of the property” (Hearing Transcript, p. 27, ¶15-20).
This interpretation stretches the limits of reasonableness, equating employee’s assignment with sufficient cause to seize an asset valued at $100 million.
Judge Brantley Starr addressed this issue during the proceedings, stating:
“Receivership actions must adhere to the principles of tracing and proper due process.”
His remarks emphasized the importance of substantial and direct evidence before approving such drastic measures (Hearing Transcript, p. 8, ¶ 02-09). But still ratified in favor of the known malicious intended receiver.

Mismanagement of the Sale Process
The receiver’s approach to selling Parc at Windmill Farms further demonstrates a troubling lack of due diligence and adherence to best practices. Rather than employing seasoned real estate brokers or initiating an open and competitive marketing campaign, the sale process was restricted and rushed. Stakeholders were deprived of the opportunity to secure the best possible value for this high-value property.
Mr. Barton’s defense underscored this point: the receiver has failed to market the property appropriately, engaging in private sales and bypassing well-established practices that maximize value. This has led to millions in potential losses for the estate’s rightful beneficiaries. Such practices raise questions about the motives behind the sale strategy, potentially prioritizing expediency over fairness and transparency.

The Broader Impact of Procedural Overreach
The wrongful inclusion of Parc at Windmill Farms is not an isolated incident it is part of a broader pattern of overreach by the receivership. This case exposes the risks of unchecked authority and the need for stringent oversight to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Judge Starr addressed this during the hearing that the scope of receivership actions must be scrutinized to ensure they do not exceed their intended purpose or infringe upon property rights unjustly (Hearing Transcript, p. 8, ¶9-15).
Such procedural flaws not only undermine confidence in the judicial process but also jeopardize the financial stability of legitimate entities swept into the receivership without adequate cause. These actions raise serious concerns about the abuse of receivership powers, where properties and businesses are unfairly targeted based on weak or unproven claims. The truth is that the system intended to protect stakeholders is being used to facilitate unjust actions, potentially benefiting those who manipulate the process at the expense of innocent parties.
This misuse of power threatens to erode trust in the legal system and jeopardize the rights and livelihoods of legitimate property owners, who are left to deal with the fallout of these unsubstantiated claims. The failure to adhere to proper legal and procedural standards, along with the disregard for the truth, underscores the need for reform. Only through a commitment to transparency, due process, and accountability can we hope to restore faith in the receivership system and protect the financial interests and rights of all stakeholders involved.
