I'm not sure of the 'belmontx' and belmontx1 differentiation, but the website seems legit. I got response with an update from the lawyer, who is a tatf tree owner, after I gave the initial information. There is no obligation to participate. Another major investor I know plans to go meet him and go over strategy.

Go to the http://tatffraud.com/ website to consider joining with other tree-buyers who are seeking response and redress from TATF. The previous belmont post is mine. It said the same thing, but this is to clarify that it was from me. The referenced website has been established by an owner of TATF trees.
Also there is another site which will enable you to view TATF's advertisements and projections each year from 1999 forward so you can document what you were told before you bought your trees. I received this from one of my correspondents:

"Today I went to the TATF website to look at the projections and see about how much I should have made by now (none of which I have received of course). I noticed the projections that are on the website today are not the same ones that were there when I made my investments (they are lower now). I found a website that has archives of a lot of websites going all the way back to the 90's, including the TATF. If anyone wants to see what exactly was on the TATF website in the past they can do the following:
1.) Copy and paste all of the following into your browser: http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.tropicalhardwoods.com
2.) Select the year you want to view at the top, then click the specific day highlighted in blue (not all days are available, usually only one or two per month)
I figure this might be helpful to the other tree owners since it may have been several years since they placed their orders and could help jog their memories if they want to see exactly what it was that was promised when they placed their orders.".

My email is [e-mail]. It continues to be a tree owner's clearing house for up to date factual information about TATF. You cannot obtain it from the company which only seems to communicate with prospective, not existing, tree owners.
