Hoo boy, just when you thought the HOA news out of Las Vegas couldn’t get any smellier, any more corrupt, any more bizarre… it does.
The Paradise Spa Home Owners Association has certainly had its problems during the economic implosion. Fires. Construction defect lawsuits. Insurance money that just never appeared. The neighborhood kept deteriorating and needed repairs just didn’t get done.
Your home is supposed to you be your best investment. Isn’t that what we were always told? But buying a home in Paradise Spa was a bad investment for a lot of folks.
Now comes word that the former treasurer of the HOA has been indicted for theft and embezzlement.
Massoud Yashouafar!
Oh, his lawyers will say he was innocent, of course. It’s only an allegation. Innocent until proven guilty, and all that. OK, OK.
But more than a million bucks! How in hell can some people look themselves in the mirror each morning?
