annd owner gets 2 years in prison.


Holmes used customers' desperation to sell their timeshares as a way to connect sellers with potential buyers, at a time when the market for timeshares was down, a criminal investigation found. His company sold no timeshares in the span of a year yet 1,100 customers paid an average $998 for marketing services that were never provided, the statement said.

If you sent money to this company between April 2009 and May 19, 2010 and believe you are a victim, call 407-245-0893 or 386-447-4250 by Oct. 28, Bondi's office advises.

That's a lot of money to be made in one year. I wonder if he doesn't care that he has 2 years of prison. It may be worth it to him.
