Bluegreen Vacations & Bankruptcy Trustee for Former Timeshare Exit Company American Resort Management Group Announce Settleme...

Business Wire
Bluegreen Vacations Corporation (NYSE: BXG) ("Bluegreen" or the
“Company"), a leader in the vacation ownership industry, previously
sued American Resort Management Group (ARMG), its principals and
ARMG’s law firm in a federal court in Orlando. In its lawsuit,
Bluegreen alleged violations of the Lanham Act, tortious
interference with contract, civil conspiracy and violations of the
Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. While the lawsuit
was pending, ARMG and its affiliated law firm each filed for
bankruptcy as a result of significant and ongoing financial
distress.
The bankruptcy court appointed a trustee for ARMG after finding
its business was “dubious at best” and its principals appeared to
be “engaged in substantial fraud and dishonesty.” Bluegreen and the
trustee ultimately entered into a court-approved settlement, which
allowed 100% of Bluegreen’s claims against ARMG in an amount in
excess of one million dollars.
Bluegreen and the Trustee consider this matter a victory for the
timeshare owners. In this regard, Bluegreen has agreed to work with
the timeshare owners defrauded by ARMG to take back or process
transfers of their timeshare interests. Bluegreen has also agreed
to subordinate its claims against ARMG to the claims against ARMG
of the timeshare owners, who have sought a refund of the fees paid
to ARMG.
“We are pleased with the court’s decision to approve the
settlement in this case. The misconduct of the principals of ARMG
were deceptive and injurious to Bluegreen’s timeshare owners.
Bluegreen remains committed to protecting its owners from being
victimized by unscrupulous exit companies,” said Jorge de la Osa,
Bluegreen’s Chief Legal and Compliance Officer.
