Hermosa Highlands Closed?

Well folks looks like anyone who bought Hermosa highlands in Costa Rica is NOT going to have a dream condo or home. Mark Ott Ceo, has not lived up to any of his promises also being that he has never developed any type of development in his life it was bound to happen. CRDC is part of the BS as well he spent alot of time and money on marketing, billboards, fancy web pages to get "leads". Then hammer people into buying property with him and stepping on any body who got in the way. He is a professional phone scam artist who has been at this since a teenager and spent some time in jail for it as well. After being scammed myself on a "condo" with a condo well into default i find myself paying attorneys to help with this matter. Also i have been in Costa Rica doing the ground work to find out who he really is. Turns out even ex employees of mark are owed money, engineers are owed money, designers, basically who ever has worked with mark is owed money. After speaking to a number of people in San Jose and the jaco area turns out hes a real scumbag. Racing people up and down the mountain almost crashing his "stolen dodge" that a whole another story, to make the drive seem close to the beach. Working in other real estate offices as a mole to steal information, which did get him beat up. Trying to bribe local officials in the jaco area for permits to build the list goes on and on. Mark Ott has been living in a hotel in the escazu area for years making it very easy for him to bail out of the country should things get to tight. Also he can not finance a home because his credit is shot to hell from so many bankruptcy's. I cant believe i and the rest of us fell for this i find myself getting phone calls from some guy asking for the rest of the money on the condo. Jim or something like that you have to be kidding nothing has been built i was suppose to start payments AFTER MY CONDO WAS DONE! Here iam with nothing and they have the balls to ask me to finish payment. I would like for hermosa highlands to finish my refund.
I found out that Ms. Ott has filed for a divorce as she has found love with her trainer at the gym. Being that she has always controlled the money in that relationship mark has to move into another hotel 30-40 bucks a night. Not the 700 a week penthouse that we have been paying for. I hear that she takes money around 15k a month to do as she pleases. The problem with this is MO claims that he can not pay any money on the defaulted contracts. He is broke! As now the ex wife controls all of the money from hermosa highlands. So what does mark do? Well whats a ott with out another way to scam money the hermosa office is selling re-morgages as a means to pay the bills. Ive spent alot of money and time tracking down people ex workers and sent time speaking with clients to try and figure this thing out.
I am really pissed off. This guy has stolen millions and millions of dollars and hes not in jail? Why? Ive been to the office and Mr. Ott will not talk he hides in his office and there he stays. He cant even go to the mall without having the security at his office hold his hand. Even at legal hearing he sends his little lawyers to do the talking which iam sure they are owed money as well. ALSO VILLAS ALTAS,CERRO FRESCO,HIGHLAND ESTATES ARE THE SAME all the same. Projects that will never be built just like hermosa highlands mark uses different names to sell the same project!!!
Glad the wife left his sorry ass i hope he hangs himself from a hermosa palm tree on the beach. I wish we could stone him like they do in other third world countries.
