The Verdict is OUT! You also get scammed by ORES ?? - OutStanding Realestate Solutions - "Queen of Mobile Homes" Chimene Van Gundy Plans to Plead Guilty to scheme - read the San Antonio Times Express April 25 2025 - the articcle states "Van Gundy, who raised about $18.5 Million, "used the funds for different purposes, such as making payments to different investors, paying undisclosed sales and commissions" and paying herself and othersm the document states. Wire fraud CARRIES A PENALTY OF UP TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON AND A FINE OF UP TO $250,000, while filing a FALSE TAX RETURN CARRIES A PENALTY OF UP TO THREE YEARS IN PRISON AND A FINE UP TO $100,000. The charging document says Van Gundy and her husband reported total income of $168,296 in 2021, FAR BELOW their actual income. Prosecutors have given Van Gundy notice that they intend to seek the forfeiture of property upon her conviction. Judge appointed Charles "Charlie" Adams as receiver (713)858 1341 to take control of her firm and her personal financial affairs. Part of the receiver's job has been to locate ASSETS and PRESERVE ANYTHING LEFT TO CREDITORS ... including $5 MILLION that went to "UNDISCLOSED OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS". Judge Dib Waldrip ordered the "QUEEN" to vacate in 2024 an order for THE SALE OF HER HOME with the proceeds being deposited with the registry court and that evil queen has been wearing an ankle monitor after she failed to appear for a deposition" - having also falsified a document presented to the court by her Doctor that after a fall she had a "tumor in her brain". "A BANKRUPTCY judge granted a motion TO DISMISS Van Gundy's bankruptcy case in Sept 2022 because she had NOT complied with obligations as a debtor under the bankruptcy code. She was unable to answer MANY questions during meetings with creditors, saying she had MEMORY ISSUES AFTER SUSTAINING A BRAIN INJURY from hitting her head on a concrete table when she fell in late 2021. SHE DIDNT KNOW WHAT CAUSED HER FALL" (LMAO!!) I personally believe she'll suit the color ORANGE while she sits behind bars - while her little children get to be taken care of some one else ... she should be ashamed of herself ... Grateful for Charlie for his due diligence and that JUSTICE is being SERVED ... lets see how much we all get back from our investments ... I foolishly believed her to be genuine as she had won "2 comma club and the 10X club with click funnels" and was on bill boards in NY Times Square - this should also NOT be legal ...

    Amazing that she had memory loss but was able to live a lavish lifestyle and know what that meant....

    There is an article just posted today she pleaded guilty. I can’t read the article because I’m not a subscriber. There will be judge hearing August 7. I hope they can uncover some assets

    Chimene Van Gundy / ORES Mobile Home Ponzi Scheme — Case Summary

    The Scheme

    • Chimene Van Gundy, self-styled "Queen of Mobile Homes," founded Outstanding Real Estate Solutions, Inc. (ORES) in New Braunfels, TX (2015).

    • ORES claimed to raise investor money to buy, refurbish, and resell mobile homes, promising annual returns of 15–20%.

    • In reality, almost no mobile homes were ever purchased — it was a Ponzi scheme: new investor money was used to pay earlier investors, fund Van Gundy's personal lifestyle, pay hidden sales commissions, and launder funds through various shell entities.

    • Roughly 600 investors put in about $18.5 million between June 2018 and November 2021.

    • ORES ceased operations in Feb 2022 and was placed into Texas state court receivership in April 2022 (Comal County, Cause No. C2021-1950D).

    The New Federal Civil Lawsuit (RICO Complaint)

    • Case: Charlie Adams (Court-Appointed Receiver) v. Chimene Van Gundy, ORES, and 60+ other individuals/entities

    • Filed: September 9, 2026, U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division (Case No. 5:26-cv-05799)

    • Plaintiff: Charlie Adams, CPA, court-appointed receiver for Van Gundy/ORES, suing on behalf of defrauded investors.

    • Defendants are grouped into tiers:

    • Core Participants: Van Gundy, ORES, Everflow Wealth LLC, CND Protection LLC, CNX Mobile Servicing, Michael Trofimoff/Viridis Holdings, Green Tea Holdings, Southern Farm Holdings, Maria Tosta, Guided Gifts Outreach, Yuskeya Investments

    • Associate Participants (recruiters/commission earners): Santos Kidd/Kina'ole Financial, Meghan Rizzo/Woman of Wallstreet LLC, William "Bill" Nakulski/FWE LLC, Tobias Mathis/Anderson Business Advisors, Marijo Wilson/Dr. Tax Lien Inc., Eric Eisbrenner, Xiyue Kottas, Brandon Pfannenstiel/Vacancy Home Solutions, Joshua Peck, Franklin Peck/American Money Group, Chad Hess, Brad Ward/TJ Ward Marketing, Perfect Funnel System LLC (Bryan & Stephanie Dulaney), Samera Harvey, Sammak "Mac" Nehoray, Lawrence "Larry" White/LKW Consulting, Meagan Dockens, Issabella Marsh, Melinda Bennett, Michelle Sanchez, Aran O'Loughlin, Tiffany Watson, Rebecca Schilhab, Rhionna & Brad Newman/Newman and Company, Tammy De Mirza LLC, ABC Insurance Brokers LLC, Joseph Valdivia, Isaiah Oboh, Upper Crest Machinery Trading LLC, Boyu Estate LP Co Ltd, Farid Musayev, Great Concept Technical Services, Katilim Bankasi, Muhammad Noman, P. Vorhees, Sevgi Bayram, Taizhou Pedic Trading Co Ltd, Randall Hess, Hiro LLC, Carla White, Michael Weiss, Wallis Corporation, Mateu Inc., Patryk & Kasia Wezowski

    Legal Claims

    1. Federal RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1962(c)) — operating an "enterprise" through a pattern of racketeering (wire fraud, money laundering)

    2. Federal RICO Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 1962(d)) — agreeing together to run the scheme

    3. Equitable Contribution/Indemnification — backup claim among defendants

    What's Being Sought

    • Minimum $17 million in damages

    • Treble (3x) damages under RICO

    • Disgorgement of ill-gotten money

    • Attorneys' fees, interest, jury trial demanded

    Has Any Money Actually Been Recovered?

    • The complaint traces large outbound transfers from ORES to individual defendants (used as evidence), but does not report any specific funds currently recovered or frozen in accounts.

    • The complaint alleges Van Gundy and associates actively tried to hide/launder assets and make it look like they had none.

    • Separately confirmed by SEC/news reports:

    • SEC filed its own civil fraud suit in May 2023; obtained a ~$14 million judgment against Van Gundy (May 2024), permanently barring her from securities work.

    • Santos Kidd (fled to the Philippines) was hit with a default judgment (~$608,000) in June 2026 after failing to appear.

    • Maria Tosta settled early, paying ~$178,000.

    • Full recovery for the ~600 investors is unlikely — real recoveries typically fall well short of what was lost in Ponzi schemes like this.

    RICO — What It Means

    • RICO = Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, a federal law originally targeting organized crime, now commonly used in large fraud cases.

    • Lets plaintiffs sue everyone who knowingly participated in a pattern of illegal acts (wire fraud, money laundering) as part of an "enterprise" — not just the ringleader.

    • If successful, damages are automatically tripled, and plaintiffs can recover attorneys' fees — a major incentive for using RICO here.

    Criminal Case (Separate from this Lawsuit)

    • Case: United States v. Chimene Van Gundy, W.D. Tex., San Antonio (Case No. 25-00198)

    • Van Gundy pleaded guilty (plea agreement dated April 1, 2025; some news reports cite April 25, 2025) to:

    • Wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343) — up to 20 years, up to $250,000 fine

    • Filing a false tax return (26 U.S.C. § 7206(1)) — up to 3 years, up to $100,000 fine

    • Sentencing has been repeatedly postponed:

    • Originally scheduled August 7, 2025 (Judge Orlando Garcia)

    • As of the September 9, 2026 civil complaint, now scheduled for October 8, 2026

    • Government has given notice it will seek forfeiture of her property upon conviction.

    • Civil and criminal cases run on separate tracks — there's no legal requirement to sentence her before the civil RICO case proceeds. Common reasons for sentencing delays in large fraud cases include: finalizing restitution amounts, possible cooperation with prosecutors, defense continuance requests, and court scheduling.

    Piercing the Corporate Veil (LLCs)

    • The complaint doesn't plead a standalone veil-piercing claim, but does explicitly call at least one entity (TJ Ward Marketing) an alleged "alter ego" of an individual defendant.

    • Broadly alleges many of the LLC defendants were shell companies controlled by a single person, used to move/launder money.

    • Main strategy is RICO, which reaches individuals directly regardless of what LLC they operated through — reducing the need to prove veil-piercing company by company.

    Timeline / Next Steps

    • No trial date has been set in the civil RICO case — this is just the initial complaint (filed Sept 9, 2026).

    • Given the number of defendants (60+), a trial date is likely well over a year away, if the case doesn't settle first.

    • Criminal sentencing currently set for October 8, 2026 (subject to further delay based on history).
