Dear Airleaf Victims Friends,
It's been a while since I've been in touch with you
because there was not much new to report. I wrote to you last year when I found
that Carl Lau and his wife Debbie Lau were working for a real estate company in
Florida selling homes. According to Carl's profile, he states:
I love living my dream. My business is
built around honesty, integrity, and ethics, and I work hard for my customers.
I found it so ironic
that this couple could recreate themselves as respectable business people in
Florida. On Lau's profile he continues:
I have 25 years of corporate financial experience. I am
detail oriented in helping you with your decisions, and I love real estate.
Well, Carl, you really
can write your own fiction novel based on that lie!
Anyway, since I last
revealed Carl's first dream job in Florida last year, he left the original company
he and his wife worked for and found a new home at a company called Florida's Realty, LLC. I found this out
when his former employer called to tell me how she had been "screwed"
by them. I always find it an "ironic twist of fate" when people call
and tell me, "You were right" after I've warned them they could also
be "screwed" when they choose to ignore my information about working
with a crook.
In Florida, both Carl
and his wife "Deb" are realtors. So now that they are both living
their dream on our misfortune, I contacted their new boss several months ago.
After no response, I wrote him this letter a few days ago. Since he refused to
respond to me, I am sharing this letter as I promised him with you and on my
blog:
Dear Larry Maas,
I reached out to you
once before with no response, but I wanted to give you one more chance before I
take this to the public since I don't know you. I am writing to you at the
request of our board of directors of Airleaf Victims. I am the organizer
of the group. Our website is at www.AirleafVictims.com.
We are a group of over 600 authors who were scammed out of substantial money by
Carl Lau. There is a judgment against him by the State of Indiana for a small
cohort of our group for nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
Now they have reinvented
themselves after declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying us back the money the
courts ordered. I am letting you know that our battle will continue. We have
people who were left with severe health conditions including a heart attack
after being robbed of their life savings by this fraudulent man. You can read
my blog on the website which will document my weekly updates during our
battle.
If you want to continue
to employ the Lau's, that is your choice. Just be aware that I will be taking
this to the media and the State Attorney's Office. I will be posting it on
my blog so that people will know what is going on here.
If I don't hear from you
within 48 hours, I will understand that you have no compassion for people who
got screwed so badly--including me. However, I wonder how much faith your
potential customers will have when they learn that two of your agents
defrauded over 1,000 people out of nearly 2 million dollars, declared
bankruptcy to avoid paying us back, was sued by Authorhouse for stealing
their business, and other offenses that I won't go into here. How much faith do
you think they'll have in your company when we tell the truth?
Best regards,
Bonnie Kaye
Organizer

Now that 48 hours came
and went with no response, I am carrying through with taking this to the next
step of (1) informing you, (2) posting it on my Airleaf Victims blog, and (3)
making a complaint to the Attorney General of Florida. I will also be notifying
the government of Indiana who had placed the judgment against Lau to start
with.
Some of you may wonder
why I am pursuing this after seven years. When I think about the suffering of
so many of our authors who lost so much, I feel the need for justice. I need to
believe that when good people are hurt, those who hurt them should not be
allowed to go unpunished and recreate themselves to hurt others based on lies
and deception.
Some of our wonderful
authors in this group are no longer with us. Others faced extreme financial
suffering due to the fraudulence and deceit. My dear friend Frederick Martin
del Campo who lost his home from had a stroke and is in horrible shape from the
events that happened to him as a result of losing his life savings to Carl
Lau's idea of a joke. For those who are gone or who can't keep up the fight, I
will keep it up. Maybe someday we'll see justice.
If you would like to be
removed from my mailing list, just let me know by hitting "Reply" and
asking to be removed. If not, I will keep you updated.
By the way, if you would
like to be on my weekly Books of Excellence radio show, please let me know. I
would be happy to have you as a guest to promote your book.
Love, Bonnie :)
