Quon Bruce Christensen Law Firm bribes HOA voters to secure construction defect cases
In a recent
news story that has garnered coverage nationwide; two high-ranking officials
within Quon Bruce Christensen Law Firm have been charged with conspiracy to
commit fraud.
Following
an expansive FBI investigation, Nancy Quon and Bruce Christensen are believed
to have bribed Home Owner Association (HOA) voters in order to have extremely
valuable construction cases directed to their law firm. In total, the cases
were worth tens of millions of dollars in the scheme that included numerous
accessories to the crime.
Not only
did Quon and Christensen pay for votes, they also worked to ensure that the
people appointed to the board that were tasked with voting were strategically
placed to be in their favor.
Bloomberg
Business Week published a full story including vivid details of the case and
how it is rocking the city of Las Vegas. Lasting effects of the fraud include a
major impact upon Nevada’s construction defect litigation industry.
U.S.
District Judge James Mahan described the scope of the scheme which relied on
rigged elections and straw buyers to gain control of HOAs, as “mind boggling”.
When it
comes to the outcome for those charged with fraud, Quon was found dead after an
apparent suicide and Christensen fled to Orlando, with the public belief being
that he did so as part of a plea agreement that would keep him from having to
plead guilty.
