Berkshire Hathaway — First Contact & Certified Package

Executive Summary

This page documents the first formal contact made to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and its agents regarding fraudulent activities, concealed payments, counterfeit documents, and retaliatory conduct carried out by Phat Tran, Hanson Le, and related parties.

The tenant sent a 1-pound certified evidence package containing:

• Executed contract documents
• The undisputed cashier’s check copy
• Mold and habitability evidence
• Digital communication screenshots
• The April 19 wire confirmation
• Proof of improper payment handling
• Three-year tenancy proof
• Hanson Le business card identifying Berkshire

This package was addressed and delivered to four critical entities simultaneously:

• Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Legal Department (Irvine Headquarters)
• Berkshire Hathaway Huntington Beach Office
• Ethos Property Management (Hanson Le’s affiliated business)
• City Attorney – Mold & Construction Fraud Notice

Doc #1 — Addressed to Berkshire Hathaway Legal Department (Irvine HQ)

The first evidence package was sent to:

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Headquarters
Legal Department
18500 Von Karman Ave, Suite 400
Irvine, CA 92612

This constitutes formal legal notice under California agency law (Civil Code §2295), creating documented awareness and triggering the corporation’s duty to investigate fraud conducted by its agents.

Doc #2 — Written Notice to Hanson Le

A written fraud and unlawful eviction notice was sent directly to:

Mr. Hanson Le
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
Huntington Beach, CA

The letter outlined:

• Fraudulent eviction actions
• Concealed receipt of rent payments
• Counterfeit and altered lease documents
• Failure to provide lawful renewal documentation
• Habitability violations (mold, leaks, structural defects)
• Intention to pursue civil and criminal legal action

This establishes direct agent knowledge and Berkshire’s access to evidence.

Doc #3 — USPS Certified Receipt (1-Lb Evidence Package)

This official USPS receipt documents:

• Package weight: 1 lb 2 oz
• Multiple certified mailings to 4 recipients
• Tracking numbers for each destination
• Insurance and signature confirmation
• Date: May 28, 2024

This receipt is irrefutable evidence that Berkshire Hathaway and all associated recipients were provided with the same fraud package containing the check copy, contracts, and habitability evidence.

Once delivered, any continued misconduct is knowing, willful, and intentional.

Doc #4 — Ethos Property Management (Hanson Le’s Business)

The same evidence package was sent to Ethos Property Management, the company with which Hanson Le represented he was affiliated.

This confirms:

• Agent cross-affiliation
• Mixed representation (Berkshire + Ethos)
• Conflicts in agency disclosure
• Failure to supervise (B&P §10176)

Doc #5 — Hanson Le Business Card (Berkshire Branding)

When inspecting the dishwasher, Hanson presented a business card identifying himself as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, confirming active agency relationship at the time payments were exchanged and contracts extended.

This establishes agency liability and forms the basis for:

• Corporate RICO participation
• Vicarious liability
• Failure to supervise
• Negligent retention

Doc #6 — City Attorney (Mold, Construction, & Fraud Notice)

One copy of the package was mailed to the Huntington Beach City Attorney’s Office to report:

• Unremediated mold
• Structural and water-intrusion defects
• Code violations
• Retaliation after code reporting
• Use of counterfeit contract in court

This satisfies the requirement for municipal notice regarding hazardous conditions and fraud.

Legal Importance

This First Contact event marks the moment when:

• Berkshire Hathaway had documented notice of fraud
• Agent Hanson Le had actual and constructive knowledge
• The corporation had a duty to intervene
• Failure to act became complicity
• Retaliation continued despite certified warnings

Under California and Federal law, corporate inaction after notice constitutes:

• Negligent Supervision (B&P §10176)
• Agency Liability (Civil Code §2295)
• RICO Enterprise Participation (18 USC §1962)
• Mail Fraud Predicate Act (18 USC §1341)
