Newsmax and the Associated Press (AP) reported on 7.7.2022 about the conviction for fraud of former Theranos Exec Ramesh Balwani. Per that report,” Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, the former business partner and lover of Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes” was convicted by a jury in San Jose, Calif. “Balwani was found guilty in the Theranos blood-testing fraud case, Thursday, July 7.” How this may apply to manufactured housing in terms of lessons learned begins with understanding the example of Theranos and other major 21^st century corporate scandals. “A jury on Thursday convicted former Theranos executive Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani of collaborating with disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes in a massive fraud involving the blood-testing company that once enthralled Silicon Valley,” said the report on Newsmax. “The 12 jurors found Balwani guilty on all 12 felony counts of defrauding both Theranos investors and the patients who relied on wildly unreliable blood tests that could have jeopardized their health.” It goes on to say that “Holmes, 38, and Balwani, 57, face up to 20 years in prison.”

“The outcome puts Balwani and Holmes in similar situations. Holmes was convicted on four counts of investor fraud and conspiracy earlier this year. During that trial, Holmes tearfully accused Balwani of sexually emotionally abusing her while they were lovers. An attorney for Balwani has vehemently denied those charges.”

Holmes is currently scheduled for sentencing in late September, 2022. Balwani’s sentencing date will be set perhaps in days. It should be noted that Holmes managed to delay several proceedings against her, so those dates are not set in stone.

“The dual convictions representing a resounding victory for federal prosecutors, who seized on the Theranos case as a rare opportunity to hold ambitious entrepreneurs accountable for engaging in technological hyperbole while pursuing fame and fortune. In the process, they hoped to discourage the practice of making bold and unproven promises about still-nascent products — a startup strategy known as “fake it until you make it.””

 

Fraud and Other Federal/State Felonies

Fraud is defined by Oxford Languages as “wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.” While people normally associate the conviction of Bernard “Bernie” Madoff with a Ponzi scheme, Wikipedia reminds us that: “The Madoff investment scandal was a major case of stock and securities fraud discovered in late 2008.^[1] In December of that year, Bernie Madoff, the former NASDAQ chairman and founder of the Wall Street firm Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC.” Madoff, who died in federal prison on 4.15.2021, had the following penalty imposed on him: “150 years in federal prison and $170 billion in restitution.”

The recent Theranos convictions and a brief consideration of previous cases such as Madoff, WorldCom, Enron, and other major 21^st scandals demonstrate that corrupt corporate practices can and do get successfully prosecuted. Several of these corporate corruption scandals took years of pressure before they final gained sufficient ‘critical mass’ to gain media, Congressional, regulatory, or other legal action that brought eventually brought their respective schemes to justice. A flashback report may be useful to those not aware of this historic 21st century pattern.

Further below, MHProNews will mention and provide details on other types of federal violations such as RICO, market manipulation, and antitrust because there appears to be several specific examples of that in manufactured housing. There are some class actions cases either brewing and/or are already underway. Further, there is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case against Cavco Industries (CVCO).

 

 

Those are examples that there could be some legal actions possible in the foreseeable future that may further expose the alleged examples of corrupt and seemingly illegal behavior by manufactured housing connected operations. For the sake of new readers, and as a reminder to regular or all other readers, perhaps the most significant third-party legal analysis of how this may apply in manufactured housing is found in the report linked below. Samuel “Sam” Strommen with Knudson Law and James A. “Jim” Schmitz Jr. with the Minneapolis Federal Reserve have each done distinctive research that sheds light on why manufactured housing is underperforming and appears to be scandal plagued.

Reports like the ones above, per our insider sources, are among those that have attracted and kept federal officials and MHI-corporate leaders and their attorneys as regular readers of MHProNews and our MHLivingNews sister site.

 

MHVille Fear, Foibles, Folly and Fraud and More

Fear is often paralyzing. Habits and trust that are misplaced are possible foibles that can contribute to the status quo. Additionally, ego is a factor – because some who placed their trust in suspect corporate and/or association entities may find that they misplaced that trust. Ego can lead to denial when it is facts, evidence, and common sense – not ego – that should drive good or prudent business decisions.

For some years, MHProNews has meticulously laid out the evidence for various ways that aspects of the U.S. economy in general, or manufactured housing in particular, can be impacted by political, capital access, regulatory and other processes.

One possible lesson from this legal review?

‘White hat’ manufactured home professionals have potentially fertile common ground with consumers who already own, or may desire, manufactured homes as the most proven affordable housing option in modern American history.

Even a relatively small number of firms could get the ball rolling on either criminal and/or civil claims against those who have apparently manipulated the manufactured housing market.

Without naming names, Martin “Marty” Lavin, J.D., – a former longtime Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) member himself who won one of the organization’s most prestigious awards – has made very specific statements that could become relevant in a legal action.

When MHI and/or their corporate insiders and attorneys have been asked about these concerns, they have routinely declined comment. One possible reason why they remain silent is because whatever they say might easily be refuted and thus makes them look worse than they already do.

When MHARR leaders like Mark Weiss and Danny Ghorbani routinely point the finger at various failures of MHI and their corporate masters, they do not explicitly do so with these types of legal issues in mind. Rather, they do so to educate and inform the industry as to what has kept the entire profession underperforming throughout the 21^st century, despite favorable federal laws being passed in 2000 and 2008. MHARR theme seems to be that MHI should ‘do its claimed job.’ Quite so.

Additionally, MHARR points out how public officials are seemingly failing in their duty to enforce various laws properly. This is a valuable role that MHARR is playing, given that they are production – not a post-production – trade group.

MHARR has also long encouraged the formation of a post-production trade organization that would do what MHI is abdicating. But as MHProNews’ Masthead analyses previously noted, MHI isn’t just posturing without doing. They appear to be actively giving cover to the industry’s consolidators. In doing so, they provide messaging that could be viewed as violating federal laws.

Against that backdrop, the following possible related legal insights should be kept in mind.

RICO

RICO is defined by left-leaning Wikipedia as: “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.” While the RICO law was originally seen as a tool against organized crime, it has been deployed against other organizations that may not been normally be considered a form of organized crime which have acted in an illicit fashion. According to the U.S. Justice Department website: “It is unlawful for anyone employed by or associated with any enterprise engaged in, or the activities of which affect, interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprise’s affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity or collection of unlawful debt. 18 U.S.C.A. § 1962(c) (West 1984).” …

Justice goes on to say that: “A more expansive view holds that in order to be found guilty of violating the RICO statute, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that an enterprise existed; (2) that the enterprise affected interstate commerce; (3) that the defendant was associated with or employed by the enterprise; (4) that the defendant engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity; and (5) that the defendant conducted or participated in the conduct of the enterprise through that pattern of racketeering activity through the commission of at least two acts of racketeering activity as set forth in the indictment. United States v. Phillips, 664 F. 2d 971, 1011 (5th Cir. Unit B Dec. 1981), cert. denied, 457 U.S. 1136, 102 S. Ct. 1265, 73 L. Ed. 2d 1354 (1982).”

Justice.gov continues (highlighting added by MHProNews)

• “An “enterprise” is defined as including any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity. 18 U.S.C.A. §  1961(4) (West 1984). Many courts have noted that Congress mandated a liberal construction of the RICO statute in order to effectuate its remedial purposes by holding that the term “enterprise” has an expansive statutory definition. United States v. Delano, 825 F. Supp. 534, 538-39 (W.D.N.Y. 1993), aff’d in part, rev’d in part, 55 F. 3d 720 (2d Cir. 1995), cases cited therein.”
• “”Pattern of racketeering activity” requires at least two acts of racketeering activity committed within ten years of each other. 18 U.S.C.A. § 1961(5) (West 1984). Congress intended a fairly flexible concept of a pattern in mind. J., Inc. v. Northwestern Bell Tel. Co., 492 U.S. 229, 239, 109 S. Ct. 2893, 2900, 106 L. Ed. 2d 195 (1989). The government must show that the racketeering predicates are related, and that they amount to or pose a threat of continued criminal activity. Id.Racketeering predicates are related if they have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events. Id. at 240, 109 S. Ct. at 2901; Ticor Title Ins. Co. v. Florida, 937 F. 2d 447, 450 (9th Cir. 1991). Furthermore, the degree in which these factors establish a pattern may depend on the degree of proximity, or any similarities in goals or methodology, or the number of repetitions. United States v. Indelicato, 865 F. 2d 1370, 1382 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 811, 110 S. Ct. 56, 107 L. Ed. 2d 24 (1989).”

Attorney, instructor, and author “Jeffrey E. Grell is the author of Grell on RICO, which Jeff developed for use in teaching his class at the University of Minnesota.” His RICOact.com website says about timely legal action: “Congress failed to include either a criminal or civil statute of limitations when it passed the RICO Act. Congress’ oversight was easily remedied with regard to the criminal statute of limitations. Title 18, section 3282 of the U.S. Code is the “catch-all” statute of limitation for federal crimes. It states that “no person shall be prosecuted . . . unless the indictment is found or the information is instituted within five years next after such offense shall have been committed.” With regard to criminal prosecutions, it is generally held that a prosecution is timely so long as the defendant has committed one predicate act (that forms part of the pattern for which he is being prosecuted) within five years or less of the indictment. See United States v. Darden, 70 F.3d 1507, 1525 (8th Cir. 1995).”

Says Grell: “RICO’s missing statute of limitations was more problematic with regard to civil claims. First, there is no “catch-all” limitations period applicable to civil claims established by Congress. Second, assuming civil RICO claims are subject to a statute of limitations, when does the statute of limitations begin to run? Does it run with the first predicate act or the last predicate act? Does it re-start with each new predicate act committed by the defendant? Does it run when the plaintiff is injured? What if the plaintiff is unaware of its injury? Is the running of the statute of limitations then postponed until after the plaintiff discovered its injury? Until the United States Supreme Court provided direction, all of these questions presented tremendous problems for the courts confronting statute of limitations defenses under the RICO Act.”

 

Sherman Antitrust Act

Briefly, the Sherman act provides potential criminal penalties that include prison for market manipulation that is proven.  All such matters begin with fact and evidence-based allegations that are support by common sense applications of the law to the evidence.

 

Summing Up

Ideally, what should occur is a small but authentically committed group of manufactured home independents, perhaps in conjunction with properly informed and motivated manufactured home residents, could forge an alliance that could lead to pressing public officials into proper action. Such a group could also be used to promote and educate the public at large. They might create a bright line distinction between MHI’s so-called “predatory” members and that of the rest of the industry.

MHARR has signaled that they have a white paper coming on manufactured housing.

Additionally, MHARR’s founding president and senior advisor has spoken out about evidence of MHI’s seemingly deliberate pattern of subverting the industry’s interests with respect to the DOE energy rule.

While it is possible that MHI, for whatever motivation, may finally step up and do what has been obviously needed for years.

The SEC legal action against Cavco may or may not lead to other parallel federal legal cases. But what they have done, as has this latest Theranos fraud conviction, reminded the industry that when people of good will hang tough and press their rights – some measure of justice can be obtained. It seems far better to press for the defense of all legitimate independents/smaller businesses, employees, and consumers rights. Related issues are planned in the days ahead that will reflect how positive, pro-active step to make justice achievable are planned in the days ahead. Stay tuned.
