Hammocks HOA board members behind bars for allegedly stealing millions from association

Miami-Dade prosecutors arrest several Hammocks HOA board members for allegedly stealing millions

[angelabell]

EVERY HOA in every state needs to be investigated!!!

[PunaniJohnny]

Another reason to stay away from HOA homes.

You ever notice how when HOA board members are jailed or suffer other misfortunes, no one sheds a single tear for them.

Why is an HOA collecting 4 million dollars in the first place? That’s outrageous!

[acethedriver]

Glad to see the people at HOA getting what they deserve criminal charges against them.

[catenystrom]

I'm TERRIFIED of buying a house with an HOA, and it's getting harder and harder to find one that isn't part of an HOA. WHEN is the damn gov't going to step in and STOP this insane abuse?!

[dmj]

Way more “HOA” boards need to be investigated about this!😡😡😡

[roymcwhorter]

This goes on every day, every where. I'm glad to see they got caught.

[tigerjonn]

This HOA should be dissolved immediately!

[Casca-suty]

HOA should be DISBANDED all over the country

[squiggyg.]

Remember that story about the lady who got sued by the homeowners association because she wanted documentation of what they were spending and she almost went to jail. There’s some kind of weird laws that you’re not allowed to see what the HOA is doing. I’m glad these people got caught, but there are probably many many more doing the same thing

I’m a general contractor and I am yet to come across a board with decent human beings.

Makes me glad to not be under HOA. Perhaps this community should vote to disband HOA

Imagine paying an exorbitant amount of money for a home, only to pay even more money to people that tell you what you can and can’t do in your own home….. insane

[jerrymartin]

This is going on in almost all of these associations. Just like our government, these people insulate themselves from public scrutiny.

[agallgood]

Restitution from those criminals ? How are the criminals going to pay back the HOA ?
That would be a great follow up story.

[lamarw]

This is a good example of how much money is extorted from home owners. Sickening.

[iloveschicken]

Freeze ALL OF THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS, seize all of their assets.. to include their homes, cars, jewelry, any other monies and valuables .. Sell and give back to the victims! Plus give them a minimum of 10 years in prison! That should teach them! Sorry for their children but they should've thought about their children before ruining other folks lives! This needs to stop!

[vidkqzf]

I love the way the DA is now acting like they are there to help. Where were they before. This has been going on for years. Lock them up for life.

[lovesyah]

Shining examples of integrity 😩 Yet they do no wrong. Disgusting!
