I have no doubt that the MDH principals have already spent most of the money and/or hidden it in ways that it won't be very easy to find. I would be willing to bet that less than a quarter of the investment money is ever recovered.

If you remember the Savings and Loan crisis from almost thirty years ago, the local governments were very slow to respond and although most investors got their money, it took a couple of years or more.

Then on top of it all, remember the little sticking point that technically, for anyone buying a new home, the investment money actually came from the seller, not the buyer of the property. So how could you legally give it back to the buyer?

I find it funny that I saw a post saying that MDH is now offering a choice of options for the investors including paying back the investment funds. That will be the day!!!
I'm being optimistic in saying I hope there's some reasonable amount of assets left to distribute, because even a small percentage would help some of the investors adjust to reality.

The funds were included in the mortgage obtained by the buyer, many were re-fi's, so they should be refunded to the buyers

The slow response by the AG is a shame. The siezure should have happened weeks ago. If you read the article on fredericksburg.com, it says they went to sieze assets 3-4 days after the court order was issued and the whole procedure was delayed further because noone answered the door!!! (tipped off?). Thats BS! No coverage in the local media? This stinks like hell. We're still just scratching the surface here. There's more to this ...........
