snippet of mr.petersons career/history and IACH is giving him a million dollars,hmmmm
In a 2006 letter related to the purchase of the San Diego property, Peterson said he received a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard University. (Harvard’s MBA Registrar has no record that Peterson attended the school.)
Peterson also claimed then to have closed a multimillion-dollar deal with TimeWarner, according to the e-mails provided by Johnson. But Johnson said Peterson told his real estate agent that the money was tied up as result of an inquiry by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
Eventually, Peterson was evicted and left town. Chicago Title Co. is still seeking more than $500,000 it had to pay as insurance for the loan, according to Bill Miltner, a San Diego-based lawyer involved in the case. The judgment has been turned over to a collection agency.
“It’s one of the more egregious acts I’ve seen in my history as a title insurance company attorney,” Miltner said.
Peterson’s lawyer in the case, Rusty Grant, called her client a “blow hard.” Peterson did, however, pay Grant’s $15,000 attorney bill.
“I have to give him credit for that,” she said.
Bad checks, unpaid rent
A year earlier, while living in Clark County, Nev., Peterson and his company Sailor Productions were named in a $12,000 judgment for a bounced check to the Intermountain Farmers Association, according to court documents filed by the association in Third District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah. Spence Lloyd, CFO of the farmers association, said the group still has not received the money.
Peterson also faces a 2005 judgment for about $200,000 in favor of Daneta Giordano, according to documents in Clark County District Court in Nevada. Giordano, a Las Vegas real estate agent, said Peterson wrote her a bad check for that amount related to his plans to create a theme park in Las Vegas. Despite the court judgment, Giordano said Peterson has only paid her about $10,000 back.
Other judgments against Peterson date back to 1992, when he and his wife, April L. Peterson, rented an apartment from Susan Aloisio in Lake Mary, Fla., according to a filing in Seminole County Circuit Court. Aloisio said the Petersons lived in the apartment, which rented for around $800 a month, for less than a year. She won a court judgment against Peterson for more than $3,000 in unpaid rent but said she hasn’t received the money.
Also listed in court documents are at least eight forcible entry detainers for properties in San Diego and Las Vegas. Those detainers represent steps toward evictions or other actions a property owner can take if an occupant refuses to leave after appropriate notice.
