ACTOR PROFILE // HANSON LE

This single address is the documented coordination point for the enterprise. Thao Tran (Phat Tran's daughter, UD co-defendant, Age 48) lists 20002 Sand Dune Ln as her primary address since June 2018. Hanson Le (DRE #01358448) is listed as a Likely Associate of Thao Tran in CheckPeople records at 8401 Bluff Cir — same 92648 zip, consistent with ongoing proximity. Tan Vo also lists 20002 Sand Dune Ln as his address and serves as Manager and Registered Agent for Thao Tran's LLCs (Euclid Diamond Plaza LLC, Times Investment LLC). Thao Tran is CEO of both LLCs operating from this address. The Euclid Diamond Plaza address cross-references to 14331 Euclid St, Garden Grove — the commercial property Thao Tran owned, sold in 2008 for $1.5M, and where multiple LLC registrations are anchored. This is an associated-in-fact enterprise under 18 U.S.C. §1961(4).

Tenant tendered cashier's check via USPS Certified Mail (Tracking #9534914882764149935944) during the active 3-day cure window. Delivered May 30, 2024 at 3:43 PM to BHHS 5848 Edinger Ave HB 92649. Signed for by "H.H." — consistent with Hanson Tri Le. Tran's own texts confirm he texted Hanson during the cure window asking about the check, proving Hanson knew. Hanson cannot negotiate a check not payable to him. Check was never returned or credited. The default upon which the UD was filed never legally existed.

On May 13, 2024, HBPD inquired about the rent dispute and payment. Hanson Le refused to answer questions and formally invoked his Fifth Amendment rights. Real estate agents do not invoke the Fifth over civil payment disputes. This invocation constitutes consciousness of guilt under California Evidence Code §413 and directly implicates PC §182 (Conspiracy), PC §135 (Concealment of Evidence), and 18 U.S.C. §1341 (Mail Fraud). Following his Fifth Amendment invocation, Hanson resigned by text on May 13, 2024 and subsequently departed BHHS.

Lease contract executed April 26, 2024 directs all rent payments to: "BANK: WELLS FARGO, NAME: HANSON LE, ACCOUNT #3312943297" — a personal checking account, not a DRE-required trust account. California B&P §10145 mandates all rental funds handled by a licensed property manager be deposited in a designated trust account. Tenant wired $5,000 on April 19, 2024 (Wire Conf. #OW00004382456864) to this account labeled "Landlord." Phat Tran himself admitted in writing: "I didn't know you paid your rent to the Hanson account." This establishes unauthorized diversion.

Michael Gasio emailed Hanson Le on June 25, 2024 with subject "Enforcement first?" stating did Hanson want to "talk to Enforcement first on counterfeiting a contract." Hanson's response 5th Admendment , effectively acknowledging the allegation without denial. Tenant documented that contract terms were altered after the 25th payment, with new terms inserted retroactively. This is consistent with PC §470 (forgery/counterfeiting of official documents).

Hanson Le (tenant confirmed only Albertsons visible); dog-friendly (no adequate yard, trees chopped). Mold was present and documented at move-in, photo-dated — Hanson admitted the doctor agreedto replace dish washer before signing contractd. Dishwasher repair bill pre-dated tenancy (prior month). Broken windows, leaking roof, all to be fixed.These misrepresentations at property by Hanson and a lease execution of 13 month as "a year" constitute fraudulent inducement.

Hanson Le abruptly ceased representation by text on May 13, 2024 — the same day he invoked the Fifth Amendment — directing all contact to the owner. He then sent a formal email: "Please direct all of your contact directly with the owner. I don't have any further involvement with you or the owner." This occurred while the tenancy and payment dispute were active, constituting abandonment of fiduciary duties under B&P §10176(d) (misrepresentation) and creating liability for the resulting damages.

Hanson Le executed the April 26, 2024 lease agreement in two distinct capacities simultaneously: (1) as the agent/property manager signing on behalf of owner Phat L.K. Tran D.M.D. under BHHS authority, and (2) as the named personal account holder in the payment clause — directing all tenant rent to his own Wells Fargo account (#3312943297) rather than to the owner or a DRE-compliant trust account. An agent cannot be both the executing party to a contract AND the designated personal recipient of funds under that same contract without express written disclosure to all parties and documented owner authorization. No such disclosure appears in the record. This constitutes undisclosed self-dealing and a direct conflict of interest under B&P §10176(d). This pattern directly parallels the conflict-of-interest and failure-to-obtain-informed-consent findings in the Ekstrom matter, where Judge Claster confirmed an arbitration award against Silverstein — the same opposing counsel in this case — for identical structural misconduct: undisclosed dual representation and failure to obtain informed consent.
