October 17, 2009 Michael Diaz Abruptly Files Voluntarily Dismissal of the Aguilar (Catledge/Impact Agents) Complaint

On October 17, just 10 days after the improper sale of the Sun Village Resort and Bungalows, James Catledge's attorney, Michael Diaz abruptly and voluntarily dismissed the complaint and allegations that just months before he found so compelling. Through the Catledge and Diaz partnership they maliciously manipulated and misrepresented to the world wide web, the video tape deposition "clips" of Derek Elliott and posted on youtube just hours after being taken. They prepared defamatory press releases, purchased services from PR firm Proby and Associates in Miami to obtain a self promoting Diaz artilce in Businessweek, and sent out literally hundreds of defamatory and libelous emails. All to cripple the Resort's ability to operate cause severe circumatances to operate a business from.

Diaz had accomplished Catledge's mission. The damage had been done and his job was done. The Elliott properties had suffered tragic blows.

Some clients that were solicited by Michael Diaz and Hilda Piloto for their legal services and by Catledge and the ECC into paying Diaz and or Piloto are aware of the liability that Catledge and the ECC have caused and the severe malpractice exposure against Michael Diaz and Hilda Piloto with and including the Florida Bar.

Abrupt Closure of Sun Village Resort and Bungalows September 2009

In September 2009 The Sun Village Resort and Bungalows was abruptly closed. The Elliott Group strongly opposed the decsion to close the resort property and cited the damages that would follow in the tens of millions of dollars.

The closure was the result of several months of litigation, defamation and interference with contractual relations orchestrated by James Catledge, CEO of the Impact Companies , Klaus Hofmann and the Aguilar (Impact Agents) Plaintiffs. Together with their lawyers, they abused process and misrepresented to the courts in Florida, Turks and Caicos Islands and the Dominican Republic.

The motivation for the destruction was simply to deflect the severe liability that Catledge and the Impact agents had made by affirmative and fraudulent representations and providing false documentation to the Elliott Companies and their attorneys that appeared to show that Catledge and the Impact agents did have valid state and federal regulatory licenses when, in fact, they did not.

Catledge and Impact were fired and removed from Sun Village in June of 2008.


Catledge was paid over $40M which included pre-paid commission on notes due from purchasers in the amount of $36M which was never collected by Sun Village. His goal was to strip as much money from the company as possible and then leave it vulnerable to him and his partners. Sun Village Cofresi and Juan Dolio are not the only product or property that has suffered from James Catledge. He has done this before and may still be operating under the same motives elsewhere.

Following the termination of Catledge and Impact, the Elliott Group served him with a demand letter on October 17, 2008. It was at this time that James Catledge with Richard Smith from Utah formed the "ECC" and Hired Michael Diaz and Hilda Piloto to execute what would be a litigation strategy of lies, defamation and the goal of destruction.
