How can we help:



  Chapman & Associates, LLC Investigating the Resort Holdings/Universal Lease Fraud
  In December 2006, the FBI arrested Resort Holdings and Yucatan Resorts owner Michael Eugene Kelly.  He was charged with orchestrating a massive nationwide fraud estimated at about $400 million, with hundreds of victims.  The victims, many of them senior citizens, were sold "Universal Lease Programs" that were supposed to give them a timeshare in one of Kelly's hotels and provide return payments of 9-11% annually. 

In reality, the Universal Lease Programs were instruments of a Ponzi Scheme.  Mr. Kelly used the investors' money to finance a lavish lifestyle that included mansions in Cancun, luxury yachts, sports cars and a private jet.

Securities regulators in several states have filed Cease and Desist Orders against Michael E. Kelly and his companies, Resort Holdings and Yucatan Resorts.

Chapman & Associates, LLC is preparing to help the aggrieved investors recover their losses by prosecuting claims before the National Association of Securities Dealers.  If you were sold Universal Leases/timeshares in Resort Holdings, Yucatan Resorts, or any other of Mike Kelly's companies, contact us immediately.
