Internal
Investigation

On May 30, 2024, the complainant sent a certified letter ? signature required ? to BHHS Legal containing formal notification of fraud and counterfeiting, together with a physical copy of the disputed cashier's check. That letter was received and signed for. The eviction was filed approximately seven weeks later. At every stage of the UD proceeding that followed, BHHS corporate held a copy of the central instrument while its affiliated agent's concealment of that instrument was driving the litigation.

May 30, 2024 ? First ContactUSPS Certified ? Signature Required

Fraud & Counterfeiting Notice + Cashier's Check Copy ? BHHS Legal

Certified mail, signature required, addressed to BHHS Legal Department. Contents: (1) formal notice of fraud and counterfeiting; (2) physical copy of the June 2024 rent cashier's check. This is the same check that Hanson Le had signed for at the BHHS office that same day under USPS Tracking No. 9534914882764149935944. BHHS Legal was in possession of a copy of the central disputed instrument seven weeks before the eviction complaint was filed in court.

LEGAL SIGNIFICANCE

Duty to Preserve / Duty to Disclose

Actual written corporate notice of a disputed instrument triggers the duty to preserve all related communications under Cal. Evid. Code ? 1521 and the spoliation doctrine. Proceeding with the UD without disclosing this notice to the court constitutes ratification of the agent's concealment conduct.

2024 ? Wire Contact No. 1Wire / Electronic

First Wire Communication to BHHS Corporate ? Screenshot Preserved

Electronic wire contact made to BHHS corporate entity. Content, recipient, and timestamp documented. Screenshot evidence preserved in evidence portal at gasiomirror.com. BHHS received and acknowledged this communication.

Legal Significance

Each acknowledged wire communication is a documented instance of corporate notice during the active fraud period. 18 U.S.C. ? 1519 ? duty to preserve evidence upon notice of federal-predicate conduct.

2024 ? Wire Contact No. 2Wire / Electronic

Second Wire Communication ? Screenshot Preserved

Second documented electronic wire contact. Screenshot preserved. Two wire contacts plus the certified letter establish a pattern of repeated corporate notice ? not isolated awareness. The corporate entity chose non-response at each juncture.

Legal Significance

Pattern of notice. 18 U.S.C. ? 1349 ? conspiracy through deliberate inaction where a supervisory party has an affirmative duty to act and repeatedly declines.

Trial Period 2024?2025Email to President

Formal Email to BHHS President ? Full Case Documentation Attached

Email transmitted directly to the President of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices with full case documentation, describing the payment concealment, Hanson Le's role, and the pending court proceedings. Sent while active trial proceedings were underway.

Corporate Response ? Delivered During Trial Break

"Stop contacting us. Get a real lawyer."

Legal Significance

A response directing a self-represented litigant to cease legal-notice communications, transmitted during active proceedings, while the corporate entity holds a copy of the disputed instrument, constitutes conscious obstruction of the judicial process. Cal. Civ. Proc. ? 1209 ? interference with proceedings; Cal. B&P ? 10177(h) ? supervisory duty.

2024?2025Phone ? Omaha HQ, Nebraska

Direct Call to National Headquarters ? Omaha, Nebraska

Complainant placed a direct call to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices national headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. The response was immediate, unambiguous, and legally significant.

National HQ Response ? Verbatim

"We are aware you have contacted us. Goodbye."

Word-by-Word Legal Analysis

"We are aware" ? corporate admission of internal communication of all prior contacts to the national level. Not ignorance. Briefed awareness. "You have contacted us" ? plural acknowledgment of the contact pattern. "Goodbye" ? deliberate termination. No inquiry. No denial. No investigation offer. This is a corporate decision, not an oversight. It converts the matter from franchisee liability to national enterprise liability under 18 U.S.C. ? 1962(d).

2024?2025Mass Mail ? All Departments / Boardroom

Mass Mailing ? All BHHS Departments, Division Heads, and Boardroom

Individual letters transmitted to every accessible BHHS department head and corporate division, including all departments from the boardroom level. Each letter stated directly: "You are helping break the law." Distribution list documented. Every officer, director, compliance officer, general counsel, and risk management recipient received written notice of the fraud and the corporate connection to it.

Legal Significance

Any claim of corporate ignorance is foreclosed. Cal. Corp. Code ? 309 ? directors and officers who receive notice of agent fraud and fail to act may be held personally liable. The mass distribution makes the "rogue agent" defense unavailable at every level of the corporate structure.

"Stop contacting us. Get a real lawyer."

? 2 ? Designated Broker ? Conflict of Interest

Dennis Allen Rosas ? The 16-Year Problem

BHHS Designated Broker Personally Declined to Investigate His 16-Year Acquaintance Hanson Le

? Documented Conflict of Interest ? Rosas Callback

Dennis Allen Rosas, the Designated Broker of Springdale Marina Inc. / BHHS California Properties (DRE #01208606), personally called back in response to the complainant's contacts. In that call, Rosas disclosed that he has known Hanson Le for sixteen years. He described Le as a good person. He stated explicitly that Le is not going to be investigated. He acknowledged that agents conducting business outside official brokerage channels is a common practice ? "they all do it." He directed the complainant to call Le directly as the suggested remedy.

This is not the absence of supervision. This is the affirmative refusal to supervise, made by the person with the statutory duty to supervise, on the basis of a 16-year personal relationship with the subject of the complaint. Under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code ? 10177(h), this is the most culpable possible form of supervisory failure.

Rosas Call ? Documented Facts

Who	Dennis Allen Rosas ? Designated Broker, Springdale Marina Inc. / BHHS California Properties
Relationship Disclosed	Known Hanson Le for 16 years
Investigation Posture	"He is not going to be investigated."
Moonlighting Admission	"They all do it." ? Acknowledged agents routinely conduct business outside official brokerage channels
Suggested Remedy	"He is a good guy. Call him." ? Directing fraud complainant to the subject of the investigation
Statutory Duty Violated	Cal. B&P ? 10177(h) ? Failure to supervise subordinate ? Cal. Corp. ? 309 ? Breach of duty of care by officer
Moonlighting Significance	The "they all do it" admission establishes that the supervision failure is systemic, not isolated ? a pattern of brokerage-wide non-compliance with DRE supervision requirements

? 3 ? 5th Amendment + Total Immunity

Hanson Le ? Invocation and Immunity Grant

Immunity Is Not Exoneration. Immunity Is Proof That a Prosecutorial Authority Found Criminal Conduct Worth Trading For.

? Most Significant Procedural Fact in the Record

Hanson Le invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when questioned by Huntington Beach Police Department. He was subsequently granted total immunity. Immunity is not granted to witnesses who have done nothing wrong. Immunity is granted when a prosecutorial authority has determined that a witness possesses information about criminal conduct serious enough to warrant legal protection in exchange for testimony.

The grant of total immunity to Hanson Le confirms that a prosecutorial authority has already assessed this case as containing criminal conduct. The remaining question ? what Le said under immunity, and why no action has followed against the principals ? either means the testimony is sealed pending further proceedings, or the investigation stalled. Both possibilities require follow-up from any agency reviewing this record.

For civil proceedings: prior to the immunity grant, Le's Fifth Amendment invocation is admissible for adverse inference under Cal. Evid. Code ? 913. The corporate entity that employed him and refused to investigate him has not been subject to equivalent accountability.

False Advertising & Lease Execution

Property advertised as "ocean view / coastal view." Agent Anna Ly markets with concealed defects. Lease executed under DocuSign Env. #46CC8725 ? three named occupants (Michael, Yulia, Tatiana). Mold in cabinets, flooring, HVAC areas concealed at move-in. Dishwasher broken from day one.

Enterprise Relationships Form

Tran ? Anna Ly ? Hanson Le ? BHHS Huntington Beach office relationship established. Tran carries multiple variable-rate loans; financially upside-down. Private payment routing practices begin. Rent non-standard: required on the 20th of the month.

2023Control, Patching & SuppressionPhase 2

Cosmetic Repairs Only ? LY Construction

5?6 days of LY Construction "repairs" ? cosmetic patching only. Mold continues. Electrical corrosion worsens. Landlord presents pre-tenancy dishwasher repair bill to tenant; tenant pays $350 under false representation.

Document Suppression Begins

Anna Ly begins deleting emails. Lease chain messages appear out of sequence. Owner expresses interest in higher rent beyond CPI limits. STR market climbing sharply in Huntington Beach area.

April 2024 ? Correct Renewal Payment Made

Wells Fargo wire for new lease term paid early. No arrears existed at any time. Proof via bank e-statements and wire confirmation records.

May 30, 2024 ? CRITICAL DATE: Check Delivered + Mold Notice + BHHS Legal Notice

Cashier's check for June 2024 rent delivered via USPS Certified Mail (Tracking #9534914882764149935944) to BHHS/Consensys offices ? signed for by Hanson Le as "H.H." Simultaneously: (1) Mold notice sent to Tran by certified mail documenting 60+ linear feet of black mold known 700+ days; (2) Separate certified letter to BHHS Legal with fraud notice and copy of the check ? 7 weeks before eviction filed.

USPS #9534914882764149935944 ? Mold Notice ? BHHS Legal Letter

June 21, 2024 ? Defective 3-Day Notice Issued

Tran issues Three-Day Notice to Pay or Quit for $5,350 (June 2024) directing payment to Wells Fargo Acct #1005959166. Notice is procedurally void: served on one occupant where three are named on the lease (Yulia in Europe ? not served; Tatiana not served). Notice issued with actual knowledge of tendered payment instrument.

June 2024 ? Tran Texts Le During Active Cure Window

During the statutory cure period, Tran sends text directly to Le: "Hi Michael sorry I did not know you did pay your rent to the Hanson account, I just texted him to find out." Both men had actual knowledge of the tendered instrument. Neither disclosed to court, to Silverstein's filings, or to complainant. Eviction proceeded on fabricated default.

June 28, 2024 ? Second Payment Extorted via Wire

Complainant transmits $5,350 via Wells Fargo wire (Conf. No. OW00004652829145) to Tran's directed account. Tran deposits original cashier's check the same day ? then claims to have mailed it back 4?5 days later. Complainant never receives or cashes it. Second payment made under written protest; Tran and Silverstein both sign acknowledgment that no prior repayment occurred. Tran's own text during cure window is evidence of extortion under 18 U.S.C. ? 1951.

? 8 ? Protected Persons

Elder Abuse & Household Harm

Three Protected Occupants ? None Properly Served ? All Displaced From Three-Year Established Domicile

Michael Gasio (age 72) and household co-resident Tatiana Zyagintseva qualify as protected persons under California's elder abuse statutes. Both were subjected to eviction threats under false pretenses, forced relocation, credit ruin threats, emotional trauma, medical destabilization, and the destruction of an established three-year domicile. During the period of the dispute, Michael underwent a cardiac stress test, was placed on a continuous heart monitor, and received 24/7 audiological monitoring ? consequences documented in his medical records and described in formal demand letters to Dr. Tran.

Yulia Gasio was in Europe when the eviction notice was issued. She returned home to discover her established residence, her possessions, and her domestic life displaced without any legal notice having been served on her as a named leaseholder. The failure to serve her is a jurisdictional defect (CCP ? 1162). It is also an injury independently actionable under intentional infliction of emotional distress doctrine.

Cal. W&I Code ? 15610.30

Elder Financial Abuse

Taking, secreting, appropriating, obtaining, or retaining real or personal property of an elder for wrongful use or with intent to defraud. The extorted second payment and withheld security deposit satisfy this provision. Fee-shifting under W&I ? 15657.

Cal. Penal Code ? 368

Elder Abuse ? Criminal

Any person who willfully causes or permits an elder to suffer, or inflicts unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering. The forced displacement from an established domicile after a medically vulnerable period satisfies the mental suffering element.

Cal. Civ. Code ? 1942.5

Retaliatory Eviction

180-day presumption of retaliation after tenant asserts habitability rights. Mold notice sent May 30, 2024 ? same day as the cashier's check. 3-Day Notice issued three weeks later. The timeline alone establishes the retaliation presumption.

18 U.S.C. ? 1341 ? Mail Fraud

USPS as the Fraud Instrument

Three independent mail fraud acts: (1) USPS delivery of 3-Day Notice premised on a concealed payment; (2) USPS interception of the cashier's check by Hanson Le; (3) BHHS certified notice receipt without disclosure. Each is a separate count. Max: 20 years each.

18 U.S.C. ? 1343 ? Wire Fraud

Electronic Communications in Furtherance

Tran?Le cure-window text; DocuSign transmission; Wells Fargo wire OW00004652829145; BHHS email responses; 2 documented wire contacts (screenshots). Each electronic communication in furtherance is a separate count.

18 U.S.C. ? 1951 ? Hobbs Act

Extortion Under Color of Right

Compelling a second payment of $5,350 through judicial process that was premised on concealment of the first payment is textbook Hobbs Act extortion "under color of right." Max: 20 years. No physical threat required ? misuse of legal process suffices.

18 U.S.C. ?? 1962(c)(d) ? RICO

Enterprise + Conspiracy

Association-in-fact enterprise (Tran, Le, Anna Ly, Silverstein, BHHS) conducting affairs through pattern of predicate acts over 18+ months. Civil recovery: treble damages + fees under ? 1964(c). Both H.J. Inc. continuity tests satisfied.

18 U.S.C. ? 1028A

Aggravated Identity Theft ? DocuSign

Manipulation of DocuSign Envelope #46CC8725 electronic signatures constitutes aggravated identity theft under this provision. Mandatory 2-year consecutive sentence per count. Applies to Le and Anna Ly.

42 U.S.C. ? 3604 ? Fair Housing Act

Discriminatory Eviction / Interference

Interference with the enjoyment of a dwelling through fraudulent eviction and retaliatory conduct. Federal civil enforcement available through HUD OIG. Complainant: $50,000 + attorney's fees.

State Criminal

Cal. Penal Code ? 532f ? Real Estate Fraud

Fraudulent Acts in RE Transactions

Pre-tenancy dishwasher invoice, LY Construction post-eviction invoice, and concealment of payment instrument in a real property transaction each constitute independently charged acts. Felony. Max: 3 years + $10,000 fine per count.

Cal. Penal Code ? 118 ? Perjury

False Statements in Judicial Proceeding

Any sworn declaration asserting non-payment ? when both Tran and Le had actual knowledge of the tendered instrument ? is perjury. Silverstein's closing argument, if made under oath or as an officer of the court, implicates Cal. RPC 3.3 and potentially this provision.

Cal. Health & Safety ? 17920.3

Substandard Conditions ? Mold

Visible mold posing a health hazard classifies the dwelling as substandard. Landlord who maintains a substandard dwelling: civil penalty up to $1,000/day from date of documented notice. Tran had documented notice for 700+ days before formal certified mold notice.

Civil

Cal. Civ. Code ? 3439.04(a)(1) ? Fraudulent Transfer

Smart Invest HB LLC Transfer

Transfer of 19235 Brynn Court to a shell LLC, 16+ months post-dispute, with LLC address = the property. If Tran is registered manager and LLC formed after dispute began, transfer is voidable. Remedy: avoidance + return + attachment + damages.

Cal. Civ. Code ? 1950.5(l) ? Security Deposit

Bad Faith Withholding

No deposit returned. No itemized accounting provided within 21 days. No trust account maintained. Where bad faith withholding is shown: deposit amount + statutory damages up to 2? deposit + attorney's fees. Separate from fraudulent invoice damages.

Cal. Civ. Code ? 1942 ? Habitability

Implied Warranty Breach ? Mold

Black mold spanning 60+ linear feet, present and known for 700+ days without remediation, is a material breach of the implied warranty of habitability. Remedy: rent reduction for affected period; repair-and-deduct; consequential damages including medical costs.

Final Prosecutorial Statement

The defendants' coordinated actions demonstrate deliberate, multi-year engagement in fraud, coercion, concealment, and targeted exploitation of a three-person elder household. Every statutory element for RICO, elder abuse, retaliation, real estate fraud, mail and wire fraud, forgery, and evidence suppression is satisfied by primary documentary evidence accessible at gasiomirror.com. A prosecutorial authority has already determined that criminal conduct occurred ? evidenced by the total immunity grant to the central agent in the concealment scheme. The remaining question is whether the principals will be held accountable. This record provides the complete factual basis to answer that question in the affirmative.
