> Although 51 Sky Top Partners is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, Leto said she is filing a motion to be dismissed from the case.
> "We, as buyer, had no contact with the party impersonating Kenigsberg," Leto said in a statement. "We had no reason to believe he was an impostor. We would not have paid $350,000 for the property — nor would we have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars more in construction — if we had."
Derp. The company owner is either clueless or is playing stupid. Despite what they thought, they don't have title to the real estate. The company is being named in a suit because there is a purported deed saying that they do, and that possible interest needs to be extinguished.
They could get the suit dropped tomorrow if they relinquished any possible interest back to the true owner and agreed to pay the costs of removing their house. Then they can go get their $350k back from the fraudster if they're lucky, or perhaps the title insurance company.
