Book 51 , Page 31, Public Records of Lake County, Florida ("Pendio

7. On or about September 23 , 2011 , Alfresco acquired title to the Pendio Prope1iy by a


quitclaim deed recorded on January 3, 2012 at Official Records Book 4110, Page I 088,
of the Public Records of Lake County, Florida ("Alfresco Deed"). A true and accurate
copy of the Alfresco Deed is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein.

8. On August 21, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an action against Alfresco and William Boylan,
designated Lake County Case Number 2012 CA 2916 ("2012 Lawsuit"). Plaintiffs
sought, in part, a constructive trust against the Pendio Property. Plaintiffs filed a Notice
of Lis Pendens on the same day Plaintiffs filed Plaintiffs' complaint. A true and
accurate copy of the Notice of Lis Pendens is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and
incorporated herein.

9. On November 5, 2013, the Comi in the 2012 Lawsuit entered an order appointing a
receiver for the Pendio Property for the pendency of the 2012 Lawsuit. Pursuant to the
November 5, 2013 order, the Court stated that Daniel P. Natoli was appointed as
receiver of the Pendio Prope1iy, and Daniel P. Natoli was instructed to take complete
possession of the Pendio Property on behalf of the Court.
. ' '

10. On January 8, 2014, Bella Collina POA filed a Motion to Intervene in the 2012 Lawsuit,
citing Bella Collina POA ' s alleged legal or equitable interest in the Pendio Property.

11. On April 22, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Summary Final Judgment in the 2012
Lawsuit. In part, Plaintiffs sought a final judgment on Plaintiffs' request for a
constructive trust in Plaintiffs' favor on the Pendio Property.

12. Bella Collina POA and Alfresco claim they executed a settlement agreement ("Alfresco
Settlement"). DCS ' s counsel at the time of the Alfresco Settlement informed Plaintiffs'
former counsel that, within the Alfresco Settlement, Alfresco agreed to transfer the
Pendio Property to Bella Collina POA or DCS by quitclaim deed. Per DCS's counsel,
the agreed transfer of the Pendio Prope1iy was explicitly subject to Plaintiffs' interest
in the Pendio Property.

13. On April 28, 2014, after receiving notice of Plaintiffs' pending Motion for Summary
Judgment and with actual knowledge of Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio Prope1iy,
Alfresco executed a quitclaim deed purp01iing to convey the Pendio Property to DCS
("DCS Deed"). The DCS Deed was recorded on June 4, 2014, at Official Records Book
4484, Page 2240 of the Public Records of Lake County, Florida. A true and accurate
copy of the DCS Deed is attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated herein.

2
14. On May 5, 2014, Bella Collina POA filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Motion to
Intervene in the 2012 lawsuit. In Bella Collina POA's Notice of Withdrawal of Motion
to Intervene, Bella Collina POA acknowledged that the DCS Deed was subject to
Plaintiffs' interest in Pendio Property. A true and accurate copy of the Notice of
Withdrawal of Motion to Intervene is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated
herein.

15. On May 30, 2014, DCS executed a quitclaim deed purporting to transfer the Pendio
Property from DCS to Randall Greene and Christina Greene ("Greene Deed"). The
Greene Deed was recorded on June 4, 2014, at Official Records Book 4484, Page 2242
of the Public Records of Lake County, Florida. A true and accurate copy of the Greene
Deed is attached hereto as Exhibit "E" and incorporated herein.

16. On June 10, 2014, the Court rendered a Paiiial Summary Final Judgment in the 2012
Lawsuit ("Ruperts' Judgment"). In the Ruperts' Judgment, the Court imposed a
constructive trust on the Pendio Property that related back to September 23, 2011. The
Court further ordered that the Plaintiffs were declared the fee simple owners of the
Pendio Property retroactive to September 23, 2011, and the Plaintiffs' ownership was
"free and clear of any right, title, interest, estate, claim or equity from Defendants,
William Boylan, Rosa Boylan and Alfresco Acquisitions LLC, or any persons claiming
by, through or under them ... " The Ruperts' Judgment was recorded on June 16, 2014,
at Official Records Book 4489, Page 2467 of the Public Records of Lake County,
Florida. A true and accurate copy of the Ruperts' Judgment is attached hereto as Exhibit
"F" and incorporated herein.
' '

17. Subsequent to the order appointing a receiver for the Pendio Property, the Court in the
2012 Lawsuit did not authorize any transfer or possession of the Pendio Prope1iy until
the Ruperts' Judgment was rendered.

COUNT I
UNIFORM FRAUDULENT TRANSFER ACT

18. This is an action for equitable and other relief under the Florida Uniform Fraudulent
Transfers Act, Florida Statutes Section 726.101 et seq.

19. Plaintiffs reallege paragraphs one ( 1) through seventeen ( 17) and incorporate them
herein by reference.

20. Alfresco, Bella Collina POA, Randall Greene, Christina Greene, and DCS engaged in
fraudulent acts in fu1iherance of a fraudulent scheme to prevent the Plaintiffs from
taking possession of the Pendio Property.

21. As set forth in the Rupe1is' Judgment, the Plaintiffs provided Alfresco funds to
purchase the Pendio Property, but Alfresco titled ownership of the Pendio Property in
Alfresco's name only. Alfresco knowingly made intentional misrepresentations of

3
material fact to the Plaintiffs to induce the Plaintiffs to provide the funds for the
purchase of the Pendio Property.

22. At the time Plaintiffs filed the 2012 Lawsuit seeking a constructive trust on the Pendio
Property, Alfresco owned the Pendio Prope1iy.

23. On January 8, 2014, Bella Collina POA filed a Motion to Intervene in the 2012 Lawsuit,
citing Bella Collina POA's alleged legal or equitable interest in the Pendio Prope1iy.

24. While the 2012 Lawsuit was pending, Bella Collina POA and Alfresco executed the
Alfresco Settlement. At that time, counsel for Bella Collina POA and DCS agreed to
become counsel for Alfresco to assist Alfresco in defending the Pendio Property from
the Plaintiffs' claims.

25. Defendants had actual knowledge of the 2012 Lawsuit, and Defendants had actual
knowledge that Plaintiffs were seeking possession of the Pendio Property. Defendants
had actual knowledge that Plaintiffs had filed a Lis Pendens on the Pendio Property.

26. In February 2014, Randall Greene contacted Plaintiffs about purchasing Plaintiffs'
interest in the Pendio Property.

27. On March 5, 2014, Randall Greene met with Plaintiffs to discuss Plaintiffs' interest in
the Pendio Property. At that time, Plaintiffs refused to convey Plaintiffs' interest in the
Pendio Property to Greene or DCS.
' '

28. DCS's counsel at the time of the Alfresco Settlement informed Plaintiffs' former
counsel that, within the Alfresco Settlement, Alfresco agreed to transfer the Pendio
Property to Bella Collina POA or DCS by quitclaim deed. Per DCS's counsel, the
agreed transfer of the Pendio Property was explicitly subject to Plaintiffs' interest in
the Pendio Prope1iy.

29. On April 22, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Summary Final Judgment in the 2012
Lawsuit. In part, Plaintiffs sought a final judgment on Plaintiffs' request for a
constructive trust in Plaintiffs' favor on the Pendio Property.

30. On April 28, 2014, after receiving notice of Plaintiffs' pending Motion for Summary
Judgment and with actual knowledge of Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio Property,
Alfresco executed the DCS Deed, which attempted to convey the Pendio Property to
DCS.

31. The DCS Deed was executed because Plaintiffs refused to transfer Plaintiffs' interest
in the Pendio Property to Greene or DCS. The DCS Deed was designed to prevent
Plaintiffs from asserting Plaintiffs' claim to the Pendio Property.

32. On May 5, 2014, Bella Collina POA filed a Notice of Withdrawal of Motion to
Intervene in the 2012 lawsuit. In Bella Collina PO A's Notice of Withdrawal of Motion

4
to Intervene, Bella Collina POA acknowledged that the DCS Deed was subject to
Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio Property.

33. On May 30, 2014, DCS executed a quitclaim deed purporting to transfer the Pendio
Property, in its entirety, from DCS to Randall Greene and Christina Greene.

34. Despite the assertion in the Bella Collina POA's Notice of Withdrawal of Motion to
Intervene that the DCS Deed was subject to Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio Property,
neither the DCS Deed nor the Greene Deed included language stating that the
conveyance was subject to Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio Prope1iy.

35. The Greene Deed was executed because Plaintiffs refused to transfer Plaintiffs' interest
in the Pendio Property to Greene or DCS. The Greene Deed was designed to prevent
Plaintiffs' from asserting Plaintiffs claim to the Pendio Prope1iy.

36. On June 10, 2014, the Court in the 2012 Lawsuit entered judgment ordering that
Plaintiffs were declared the fee simple owners of the Pendio Property retroactive to
September 23, 2011, and Plaintiffs' ownership was "free and clear of any right, title,
interest, estate, claim or equity from Defendants, William Boylan, Rosa Boylan and
Alfresco Acquisitions LLC, or any persons claiming by, through or under them ... "

37. At the time Alfresco executed the DCS Deed, all the Defendants were fully cognizant
of the 2012 Lawsuit premised on Alfresco's fraud, and Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio
Property.

38. At the time DCS executed the Greene Deed, all the Defendants were fully cognizant of
the 2012 Lawsuit premised on Alfresco's fraud, and Plaintiffs' interest in the Pendio
Property.

39. The Court in the 2012 Lawsuit had appointed a receiver for the Pendio Property prior
to both the DCS Deed and the Greene Deed. All of the Defendants had actual
knowledge that the Court in the 2012 Lawsuit had appointed a receiver for the Pendio
Property. The Comi in the 2012 Lawsuit never authorized the DCS Deed or the Greene
Deed, and, although the Pendio Property was subject to court ordered receivership,
none of the Defendants sought the Court's approval of such transfers.

40. All of the Defendants acted with intent to hinder, delay and defraud Plaintiffs, as
creditors of Alfresco, through the transfers of the Pendio Property.

41. The transfer of the Pendio Property from Alfresco to DCS is a fraudulent transfer in
violationofFla. Stat.§ 726.105.

42. The transfer of the Pendio Property from DCS to Randall Greene and Christina Greene
is a fraudulent transfer in violation of Fla. Stat. § 726.105.

43. Plaintiffs are entitled to relief under Fla. Stat. § 726.108.

5
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, Jordan Rupert and Myra Rupert, demand judgment against
Defendants Alfresco Acquisitions, LLC Bella Collina Property Owners Association, Inc.,
Randall F. Greene, Christina M. Greene, and DCS Capital Investments, LLC, for:
a. Avoidance of the transfer of the Pendio Property to DCS, and avoidance of the
transfer from DCS to Randall Greene and Christina Greene through whatever
means the Comi deems proper under Florida law;
b. An injunction against fmiher disposition or assignment of the Pendio Property; and,
c. Such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

. .

· 4. The Plai~tiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment as to Count IV (Constructive Trust)
is hereby granted. The Defendants would be unjustly enriched if allowed to retain the title to- the
Property and, therefore, the Plaintiff has shown by clear and convincing evidence that they are

5. .A constructive trust is hereby imposed in favor of the Plaintiffs upon the real
property· more particularly described as:
Lot 383, Bella Collina, according to the map or plat thereof as recorded in Plat
Book 51, Page 31, Public Records of Lake County, Florida

("Property"). For which let execution immediately issue.

to the date of conveyance of the Property to the Defendant, ALFRESCO ACQUISITIONS, LLC, to
wit: September 23, 2011. The relation back to the date of the conveyance shall occur due to the
specific circumstances of the matter, in addition to factual findings of the Court, including without

the conveyance to Alfresco Acquisitions, LLC; and

upon receiving title to the Property, by virtue of this Partial Final Judgment.

interest, estate, claim or equity from Defendants, William Boylan, Rosa Boylan and Alfresco
Acquisitions LLC, or any persons claiming by, through or under them or any person claiming any
interest in said real estate or other property and fixtures since the filing of the Notice of Lis Pendens
herein.
(b) Pursuant to Rule 1.570(d), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, this judgment has
the effect of a duly executed conveyance and transfer that is recorded in the County where this
judgment is recorded.
8. As to the First Affirmative Defense, Summary Judgment is granted in favor of the
Plaintiff as it has been established that the Defendants made misrepresentations of past and existing
facts and had no intention of performing the promises made.
9. As to the Second Affirmative Defense and Third Affirmative Defense, Summary
Judgment is granted in favor of the Plaintiff as the causes of action for breach of contract and unjust
enrichment were brought in the alternative of one another, and this Partial Summary Judgment does
not award damages, nor find liability, for breach of contract.
10. As to the Fourth Affirmative Defense, Summary Judgment is granted in favor of the
. ' ' '
Plaintiff as it is legally insufficient as it is merely a denial as to the allegations of damages. Further,
the Fourth Affirmative Defense has been factually refuted as the danmges are distinct from damages
that would have occurred simply from delay of sale.
11. The Plaintiffs' address is 16735 Royal Palm Drive, Groveland, Florida 34736.
12. The Defendant, Alfresco Acquisitions, LLC, last known address was: 13900 CR
455, Suite 107, Clermont, Florida 34711.
13. The Defendants, William Boylan and Rosa Boylan, last known address was: 15019
Pendio Drive, Montverde, Florida 34756.
14. The Court reserves jurisdiction of this matter for all purposes, including without
limitation to determination of damages for Count II and Count III, including without limitation to
those damages which were incurred by the Plaintiff during the ownership and possession of the
Property by the Defendants, and determination of liability and damages with relation to the
remaining counts.
15. The Court reserves jurisdiction of this entire matter, to enter any further orders that
may be equitable, appropriate and just.
