Factual allegations

Plaintiff RRFS knows that all the liens recorded related to named Defendants other than Nona Tobin, i.e., Republic Services, Wells Fargo, and Nationstar have been released on 3/30/17, 8/17/04, 3/12/15, and 6/3/19, respectively. See Exhibit 1.
The HOA sale was void as payments and tenders after 7/1/12 were rejected, misappropriated, misrepresented and/or concealed. Default did not occur as described in the 3/12/13 Notice of default or as recited in the 8/22/14 foreclosure deed. See Exhibit 2.
The Default was cured three times, but RRFS kept pursuing the predatory path to unwarranted, unjustly profitable foreclosure. See Exhibit 3.
There was no valid authorization of the sale, but RRFS disclosed deceptive and falsified documents to create the misrepresentation of reality. See Exhibit 4.
Required notices were not provided, but RRFS falsified records to cover it up. See Exhibit 5.
SCA Board imposed the ultimate sanction against the estate of the deceased homeowner, but RRFS and SCA attorneys concealed and misrepresented material facts and the law to cover it up. See Exhibit 6.
Bank of America never was the beneficiary of the Hansen deed of trust, but committed mortgage servicing fraud, refused to let two fair market value sales close escrow, refused to take the title on a deed in lieu, took possession without foreclosing, and used attorney Rock K. Jung to covertly tender delinquent assessments to circumvent the owner’s rights under the PUD Rider remedies (f) to confiscate her property without foreclosing. See Exhibit 7.
Many examples of RRFS’s corrupt business practices exist of keeping fraudulent books, scrubbing page numbers from ledgers, combined unrelated documents to rewrite history, scrubbing dates from emails, not documenting Board actions, and much more. See Exhibit 8.
All opposing counsels in all the litigation over the title to this one property made misrepresentations in their court filings and made oral misstatements of material facts and law at hearings. See Exhibit 9.
The proceeds of the sale were not distributed in 2014 and RRFS’s complaint for interpleader in 2021 was filed in bad faith. See Exhibit 10.
RRFS concealed the 4/27/12 debt collection contract that requires RRFS to indemnify the HOA and has been unjustly enriched, thereby well over $100,000 in fees and considerably more in undistributed proceeds. RRFS did not participate in NRS 38.310 mediation in good faith. See Exhibit 11.
In case A-19-799890-C, Brody Wight knowingly filed a motion to dismiss Nona Tobin’s claims pursuant to NRCP (b)(5) and NRCP (b)(6) that was totally unwarranted, harassing, disruptive of the administration of justice, not supported by facts or law, and filed solely for the improper purpose of preventing discovery of the crimes of his law firm and its clients. See Exhibit 12.
None of the opposing counsels have acted in good faith in compliance with the ethic standard of their profession. All have failed in their duty of candor to the court, wasted millions of dollars in judicial resources, and have engaged in criminal conduct to further the criminal conduct of their clients. See Exhibit 13.
Attorneys have knowingly presented false evidence into the court record in discovery. See Exhibit 14.
Nationstar and RRFS conspired to conceal the manner in which RRFS covertly rejected Nationstar’s $1100 offer to close the MZK sale. Civil Conspiracy. See Exhibit 15.

First cause of Action: Interpleader NRCP 22

For a declaratory judgment that RRFS must distribute the retained funds to Nona Tobin with interest as there are no parties with higher priority and all the liens of named defendants have been released.

See Nona Tobin’s 4/12/21 motion for distribution of the proceeds

Second Cause of Action: (Unjust Enrichment) or (Conversion)

Plaintiff/counter-defendant RRFS has been unjustly enriched:

by adding unauthorized fees,
by applying assessment payments to fees first,
by suppressing bidding through selective notice to only speculators,
by unlawfully exerting proprietary control of funds belonging to Nona Tobin, Sun City Anthem and others,
by keeping two sets of books,
by presenting false evidence to the court,
by conspiring with lenders and aiding and abetting them to assert ownership of deeds of trust they do not own.

In Nevada, the elements for a claim of conversion are:

A distinct and intentional act of dominion by one which is wrongfully exerted over the property of another;
Act committed in denial of, or inconsistent with the rightful owner’s use and enjoyment of the property;
Act committed in derogation, exclusion, or defiance of the owner’s rights or titled in the property; and
Causation and damages

M.C. Multi-Family Development, L.L.C. v. Crestdale Assoc., Ltd., 193 P.3d 536, 543 (Nev., 2008); Evans v. Dean Witter Reynolds, 5 P.3d 1043 (Nev. 2000); Bader v. Cerri, 96 Nev. 352, 609 P.2d 314 (1980); Wantz v. Redfield, 74 Nev. 196 (1958); Boylan v. Huguet, 8 Nev. 345 (1873).

All of the elements of conversion are met and established by the evidence in the exhibits.

Third Cause of Action: Fraud

Defendant RRFS made multiple false representations or misrepresentations as to a past or existing fact; See Exhibits. There are examples in almost all of them.
With knowledge or belief by defendant that representation is false or that defendant lacks sufficient basis of information to make the representation;
Defendant intended to induce plaintiff to act in reliance on the representation;
Justifiable reliance upon the representation by the plaintiff;
Causation and damages to plaintiff as a result of relying on the misrepresentation; and
Clear and convincing evidence exists and is pleaded with specific evidence in the exhibits filed herein.

Fourth Cause of Action: Alter Ego Piercing the Corporate Veil

On 1/31/17, Nona Tobin filed a cross – claim versus Sun City Anthem and identified “HOA Agents” as the true perpetrators of the wrongdoing. See Exhibit 21 for the description of why these agents were not named as parties.

See Exhibit 22 Excerpts of 1/31/17 cross-claim vs. HOA and its agents for the 1/31/17 claim for the excess proceeds.

1/31/17 Nona Tobin’s cross-claim vs Sun City Anthem, pages 18-19, 5th cause of action :unjust enrichment

RRFS and SCA withheld and concealed all contracts and all identification of the parties in a manner that completely obscured the money trail.

The Nevada Supreme Court has held that, though generally “[t]he corporate cloak is not lightly thrown aside,” nevertheless there are some situations in which blind “adherence to the fiction of a separate entity [of the corporation] [would] sanction a fraud or promote injustice.” Baer v. Amos J. Walker, Inc., 85 Nev. 219, 220, 452 P.2d 916, 916 (1969). The court has therefore carved out an exception to the general rule of faithfully respecting the corporate form and corporate independence, i.e., the so-called “alter ego” exception, by which the corporate veil can be pierced. Id. The Supreme Court of Nevada, in the matter of McCleary Cattle Co. v. Sewell, adopted a three prong test for ignoring the separate existence of a corporation in determining “alter ego liability.” McCleary, 73 Nev. 279 at 282, 317 P.2d 957 (1957). This test has since been codified in by Nevada Statute, NRS 78.747:

FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION vs. RRFS (Racketeering)

COUNTER-DEFENDANT RRFS AND CROSS-DEFENDANT NATIONSTAR engaged in racketeering activities as defined in NRS 207.360 and a racketeering enterprise as is defined in NRS 207.380;
COUNTER-DEFENDANT RRFS AND CROSS-DEFENDANT NATIONSTAR, acting directly, and in conspiracy with one another or through their syndicate(s), participated directly in racketeering activity by engaging in at least two crimes related to racketeering;
COUNTER-DEFENDANT RRFS AND CROSS-DEFENDANT NATIONSTAR’s activities have the same or similar pattern, intent, results, accomplices, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events;
COUNTER-DEFENDANT RRFS AND CROSS-DEFENDANT NATIONSTAR acquired or maintained directly or indirectly an interest in, or control of, any enterprise, or defendants are employed by or associated with any enterprise to conduct or participate directly or indirectly in the affairs of the enterprise through a racketeering activity;
COUNTER-CLAIMANT AND CROSS CLAIMANT NONA TOBIN’s injuries flow from the defendant’s violation of a predicate Nevada RICO act;
NONA TOBIN’s injury was proximately caused by the defendant’s violation of the predicate act;
NONA TOBIN’s did not participate in the commission of the predicate act; and
NONA TOBIN is entitled to institute a civil action for recovery of treble damages proximately caused by the RICO violations. NRS 207.470(1).
COUNTER-DEFENDANT RRFS conspired with, aided and abetted CROSS-DEFENDANT NATIONSTAR, and many other lenders, to perpetrate a fraud on the court with a quid pro quo of Nationstar’s (and fill-in-the-blank OTHER LENDER’S NAME)’s not asserting a claim for the excess proceeds so Koch & Scow could keep whatever proceeds they wanted without fear of audit or challenge.
