V.1.0
Gasio v. Tran et al. — OC Sup. Ct. 30-2024-01410991-CL-UD-CJC

The Weak Link.
Not a Resignation.
A License Migration.

Hanson Tri Le is the only individual in this transaction who (1) signed the lease as a dual agent with blank disclosure, (2) routed rent to his personal bank account via Section 3.D.(2), (3) left one of his Principal Broker's corporate licenses 17 days before a cashier's check arrived at that corporation's registered office, (4) was placed in possession of that check by the landlord's own text, (5) formed his own LLC 19 days after detaching his license and 19 days before the three-day notice, and (6) lost all contractual authority over the Gasio lease the moment his license detached from the brokerage-of-record identified on the contract. He is the single point of failure in the enterprise's cover story. Every fact on this page is sourced to the California DRE, California Secretary of State, county recorder, or contemporaneous documentary evidence.

The Licensee — What the California DRE Says Today

The California Department of Real Estate is the regulator with statutory authority over California real estate licensees. Its public license records — retrievable at www2.dre.ca.gov/publicasp/pplinfo.asp — are the authoritative source for licensee status, attachment to corporate brokers, and disciplinary history. Any narrative claiming Hanson Le "resigned" is immediately contradicted by the DRE record.

LICENSE #01358448
Le, Hanson Tri — California Real Estate Broker Associate
License Type: Salesperson / Broker Associate  ·  Status: Active  ·  Expiration: March 27, 2030
Currently attached to: Stratton - LFCA, Inc. (DRE corporate license #02211662) — dba Coldwell Banker Envision (and six other active DBAs)
Designated Officer of his current corporate broker: Dennis Allen Rosas, DRE #00602101 — the same Principal Broker who supervised him at the time of the Authentisign lease
Date of birth (per CheckPeople aggregation): March 28, 1976  ·  Age: 48 at time of lease execution
Known aliases (per CheckPeople): Tri Gia Le, Gie Letri, Tri G Le  ·  Contact phone on Authentisign Section 32: (714) 720-5447 — confirmed as his mobile line
Hanson Tri Le is not "retired," not "resigned," and not removed from the industry. He is currently actively licensed under the same Principal Broker who declined to investigate him in 2024 and again in February 2025.

The "resignation" narrative is regulatorily false. What actually occurred on May 13, 2024 was a license detachment from one of his Principal Broker's corporate licenses (Springdale Marina Inc, #01208606) to another (Stratton - LFCA, Inc., #02211662) — both under the supervision of the same Designated Officer, Dennis Allen Rosas. He migrated within the same organizational structure. To this day, his license remains attached to a Rosas-supervised corporate broker. Any suggestion to a tenant, a court, or an investigator that he "left" or "resigned" or "no longer represented" BHHS California Properties is a regulatorily inaccurate framing.

SEC. 02

What He Signed and Where He Directed the Money

On April 26, 2024, Hanson Tri Le signed the Authentisign residential lease agreement (Authentisign ID 46CC8725-F703-EF11-96F5-6045BDD68161) as "Housing Provider's Agent" for "Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, DRE #01208606" — the California corporate entity Springdale Marina Inc under Rosas's Designated Officer supervision.

The executed lease contains two independently damaging facts on the face of the instrument:

  1. Section 41 identifies Hanson Le as both Tenant's Agent and Housing Provider's Agent — a statutory dual agency under California Business & Professions Code §2079.16 and §2079.17. The dual agency disclosure checkboxes on the executed instrument are blank. No written informed consent was obtained from either party. California real estate law requires affirmative written disclosure of dual agency and written consent from both principals. The executed instrument shows neither.
  2. Section 3.D.(2) directs tenant rent payments to Hanson Le's personal Wells Fargo account — specifically Wells Fargo Account #3312943297, account name "HANSON LE." California Business & Professions Code §10145 and 10 CCR §2832 require trust funds received by a licensee to be either (a) deposited to the broker's trust account, or (b) remitted to the principal within three business days. Routing tenant rent directly to an agent's personal bank account — named on the contract, drafted by the listing agent — is a trust fund violation on the face of the instrument itself. The contract is the evidence.

The cashier's check that later became the center of the case — Wells Fargo Cashier's Check #0084411044, $4,338.48, dated May 28, 2024 — was made payable to BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES CALIFORNIA, the DBA of the corporate brokerage. It was not payable to Hanson Le personally. The memo line read: "26 OF 37 PAYMENTS TO PHAT TRAN JUNE 1." Package 4 of the May 28 four-package USPS Signature Confirmation protocol (tracking #9534 9148 8276 4149 9359 68) delivered that check to 5848 Edinger Avenue, Huntington Beach 92649 on May 30, 2024 — the DRE-registered main office of Springdale Marina Inc.

Phat Ky Tran subsequently confirmed in a text message to Michael Gasio that Hanson had the check. This is the landlord's own written admission placing the check in the agent's hands.

SEC. 03

No Authority on the Contract — The Structural Failure

This is the documentary pressure point that the record has not previously articulated with regulatory precision. It rests on a single question: on what date did Hanson Tri Le have legal authority to act on the Authentisign lease?

THE STRUCTURAL FAILURE
The Authority Gap
Principal Broker Oversight Attaches to the Corporate License, Not to the Agent

The Authentisign lease identifies the brokerage of record as BHHS California Properties, DRE #01208606. That number on the contract binds Hanson Le's agency authority, on that transaction, to that specific California DRE corporate license — Springdale Marina Inc.

On May 13, 2024, Hanson Le's personal license (#01358448) detached from Springdale Marina Inc (#01208606).

From that moment forward:

  1. Hanson Le had no corporate brokerage authority tied to the contract Michael Gasio had signed. The contract identified the brokerage by its specific DRE number. He was no longer a licensee under that number.
  2. He could not endorse, cash, or negotiate a cashier's check payable to BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOMESERVICES CALIFORNIA — a DBA of a corporate entity (Springdale Marina Inc) he was no longer licensed under. A detached licensee cannot receive or handle funds payable to the corporate entity his license was formerly attached to.
  3. He could not continue to act as Housing Provider's Agent under the contract. The contract identified him specifically by his personal license number (#01358448) as the agent of BHHS California Properties / DRE #01208606. When his license detached from that corporate number, his contractual authority evaporated. A new listing agent under the same brokerage would have required a formal contract amendment. No such amendment is on record.
  4. He could not continue to receive tenant rent at Wells Fargo Account #3312943297 without violating trust fund rules at a new level of egregiousness. The contract basis for routing to that account was his agency for the brokerage of record. Without that agency, the routing instruction was structurally obsolete from May 13, 2024 forward.
  5. On May 30, 2024 — seventeen days after his license detached — a cashier's check payable to the corporate DBA of his former brokerage was delivered to that brokerage's DRE-registered main office. Per Phat Tran's own text, the check ended up in Hanson Le's hands. The individual who physically took possession of that check was, by that date, no longer licensed under the corporate entity the check was payable to.

The Principal Broker (Rosas) is the statutory supervisor under California Business & Professions Code §10159.2 and §10177(h) of all licensees attached to the corporate broker at any given moment. On May 13, 2024, Hanson Le walked out from under Springdale Marina Inc's regulatory umbrella for that corporate license. On May 30, 2024, he received the corporate entity's mail. On Call #1 in 2024, Rosas told Michael Gasio that if Hanson "took something from the office he's probably moonlighting — they all do it."

"Moonlighting" is not a legal exculpation. It is an acknowledgment of unauthorized conduct by a licensee operating outside the scope of his supervised agency — and in this case, by a licensee who, per the contract on record, no longer had corporate brokerage authority on the transaction at all.

SEC. 04

The New LLC — Hanson And Tony LLC, Filed June 1, 2024

California Secretary of State records show that on June 1, 2024, Hanson Le formed a new California limited liability company.

CA SOS FILING #202462512659
Hanson And Tony LLC
Filing Date: June 1, 2024  ·  Registration Type: Domestic Limited Liability Company  ·  Incorporation State: California
Business Address: 12966 Euclid Street, Suite 520, Garden Grove, CA 92840
Corporate Officers:
  •  ● Hanson Le — Chief Executive Officer — 8401 Bluff Circle, Huntington Beach, CA 92646
  •  ● Hanson Le — Manager — 8401 Bluff Circle, Huntington Beach, CA 92646
  •  ● Tony Vu — Manager — 12966 Euclid St Ste 520, Garden Grove, CA 92840
  •  ● Tony Vu (registered agent #c3184722) — Registered Agent — 12966 Euclid St Ste 520, Garden Grove, CA 92840

The timing is structurally significant.

  1. May 13, 2024: Hanson Le's license detaches from Springdale Marina Inc (#01208606)
  2. May 30, 2024 — 17 days later: The cashier's check arrives at 5848 Edinger, Springdale Marina Inc's DRE-registered main office
  3. June 1, 2024 — 19 days after license detachment, 2 days after check delivery: Hanson And Tony LLC is formed in California, with Hanson Le as CEO and Manager at his residential address
  4. June 21, 2024 — 19 days after LLC formation: The three-day notice is served on Michael Gasio, demanding payment to a different Wells Fargo account than the lease-specified one

The formation of a California LLC is ordinary business activity and the fact of its formation is not itself misconduct. What matters is the timing — specifically, that Hanson Le created a new corporate business vehicle in his own name at his own residential address in the interval between his license detachment from the brokerage of record and the service of a three-day notice on his former tenant-client. The LLC filing places a documentary marker on that interval: he was actively structuring new business entities during the period in which a cashier's check made payable to his former corporate brokerage was in his physical possession.

Subpoena target. Hanson And Tony LLC's bank records — any business banking accounts opened between June 1, 2024 and the present, any deposits, any wire transfers, any flow of funds involving the Wells Fargo account #3312943297 the Authentisign lease routed rent to — are direct subpoena targets. California Secretary of State filings are public; bank records require legal process. This is a clean, narrow, targeted discovery ask.

SEC. 05

Orange Coast Title Co — The Rosas Affiliation

Per Orange County property records, Hanson Le's current residence at 8401 Bluff Circle, Huntington Beach, CA 92646 (APN 157-333-37) was titled in June 2020 through Orange Coast Title Co / Southern California. Sale amount $642,000; current assessed value $716,161 (2024 tax year). Owners of record: Hanson Le and Quynh Le Hanson, identified on the deed as Husband and Wife / Community Property.

Dennis Allen Rosas's published biography with the Broker Resource Network — an industry trade organization whose leadership page Rosas himself is featured on — identifies him as corporate officer of the affiliated independent escrow operation Castlehead Inc. Escrows and "active in our related title operation Orange Coast Title Co."

The Rosas Principal Broker umbrella is not just a brokerage relationship — it is a complete affiliated real estate services cluster: brokerage under Springdale Marina Inc and Stratton - LFCA, Inc.; escrow under Castlehead Inc. Escrows; title work under Orange Coast Title Co. Hanson Le is not only a licensee under Rosas's corporate broker — his own personal home title was processed through Rosas's affiliated title operation. The professional relationship is documented through real property records, not merely through assertion.

SEC. 06

The Undisclosed Family Connection — 20002 Sand Dune Lane

Public records research conducted by the complainant independently — and subsequently corroborated by commercial aggregator CheckPeople.com — shows that Hanson Tri Le and Thao Tran (age 48, identified in the plaintiff's records research as Phat Tran's daughter) both maintained documented associations at the same address: 20002 Sand Dune Lane, Huntington Beach, CA.

In the commercial aggregator data, Thao Tran is listed as Hanson Le's top-ranked Likely Associate out of 26 listed associations — meaning the aggregator's association model places the highest-weight social/relational tie on this specific pairing.

The complainant additionally observed Thao Tran wearing a ring during the relevant period, consistent with a potential engagement or marriage.

On Rosas Call #1 in 2024, the complainant asked Rosas directly: is Hanson getting married to Thao Tran? — grounding the question in the co-address finding and the ring observation. Rosas's response addressed only Hanson Le's existing marital status (to a different spouse, Quynh Le, per recorded property deed), stating Hanson "has been married sixteen years" — without addressing the Thao Tran connection the complainant had raised.

THE UNDISCLOSED CONNECTION
Agent – Landlord Family Tie
If established, a dispositive dual agency disclosure violation

If Hanson Tri Le was in a domestic or familial relationship with Thao Tran — Phat Tran's daughter — at the time he signed the Authentisign lease on April 26, 2024 as both Tenant's Agent and Housing Provider's Agent, that relationship was a material undisclosed conflict of interest under California real estate law.

  1. California Business & Professions Code §2079.16 requires disclosure of any fact materially affecting the value or desirability of the property known to the agent that is not known to, and not within the diligent attention and observation of, the parties.
  2. California Business & Professions Code §2079.17 and §10176(d) require affirmative written disclosure of dual agency and written informed consent from both principals.
  3. A family-by-marriage or domestic-partnership relationship between the dual agent and the principal landlord's daughter is a paradigm case of a circumstance that would "reasonably be expected to affect the agent's loyalty or ability to act as a fiduciary" — exactly the kind of relationship dual agency disclosure is designed to expose to the opposing principal.
  4. The Section 41 dual agency disclosure checkboxes on the executed Authentisign lease are blank. The baseline dual agency disclosure was never made, and any additional family connection further compounds the non-disclosure.

This is not presented as a conclusion. It is presented as a documented question with specific documentary pressure points. Subpoena targets for confirmation or refutation: California marriage and domestic partnership records in Orange County and adjacent counties; Orange County Recorder records for any joint title or deed involving Hanson Tri Le and Thao Tran (including but not limited to 20002 Sand Dune Lane ownership, occupancy, or lease records); any joint corporate filings or LLC membership records involving both individuals at the California Secretary of State.

SEC. 07

The April Timeline — Europe, Return, After-Hours Visit, and First Payment

The following timeline is established through the complainant's contemporaneous text message records, Wells Fargo wire transfer documentation, and Yahoo Mail server records. Each date and event below is documentarily anchored.

Through
Apr 15, 2024
Hanson Le in Europe — Complainant's contemporaneous text message records show Hanson Le communicating from Europe through approximately April 15, 2024 — the United States federal tax filing deadline. He was not physically present in Huntington Beach during this period.
Apr 17, 2024
Last day at BHHS / Springdale Marina Inc — Hanson Le's last day of active presence at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties (Springdale Marina Inc, DRE #01208606), 5848 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach. His personal DRE license (#01358448) detached from Springdale Marina Inc on May 13, 2024 — but his operational departure from the office preceded his formal license migration by approximately four weeks.
Apr 18, 2024
After-hours visit to 19235 Brynn Ct — with the old man Ly — The day after leaving BHHS, Hanson Le arrived at the subject property after hours, accompanied by an elderly maintenance worker known to complainant as "the old man Ly." This was not a stranger: the old man Ly had made four prior visits to the property for maintenance issues including electrical shorts and mold. Complainant had an established working relationship with him, spoke English together, and had personally helped him troubleshoot electrical short circuits on prior visits. The old man Ly had also previously stated, during the second year of the tenancy, that it would take six days to remediate the mold condition in the kitchen — a direct acknowledgment by Tran's own maintenance team of a pre-existing habitability defect. On the April 18 visit, Hanson identified himself and the old man Ly as Berkshire workers and stated the purpose of the visit was to inspect the dishwasher and other property defects. This visit occurred the same day Hanson returned from Europe — after hours, without advance notice, at a property where he had just ceased active brokerage operations the prior day.
Apr 19, 2024
First payment — year three — wired directly to Phat Tran's personal account — Phat Tran had approved year three. Complainant wired $5,000.00 from Wells Fargo Premier Checking (...0732) to Tran's personal account labeled "Landlord" (...9166). Wire message: "New lease 24 one payment at 5000." Confirmation: OW00004382456864. Status: Completed.

Phat Tran responded by text the same day: "We are filling out new paper work — understand one at old lease 5000 then new payment 5350 — I want keep paying early — Thanks Michael." This text is the landlord's own written admission that the operative lease rate was $5,000/month. His 3-Day Notice filed weeks later demanding $5,350/month is contradicted by his own April 19 words. The jurisdictional defect is established by the landlord himself.
Apr 25, 2024
"Witches burnt Broom" — Yahoo Mail to hansonle@bhhscaprops.com — 11:18 AM PDT — Complainant transmitted this email notifying Hanson Le that the $5,000 May 2024 payment had been made, that 11 payments remained at $5,350, and attaching complete financial documentation: Barclays Jumbo CD ($230,894.36), WellsTrade brokerage ($814,024.15), Fresno Unified 403(b) ($512,829.85), FICO score 799 as of April 20, 2024. Yulia Gasio's CSULB professor profile was included. Combined documented assets exceeded $1.5 million.

Licensed California broker Helder Porfírio Pinheiro (DRE #01944883, co-founder Pine Tree Lenders LTD, Fresno) was copied on every email in this series. He is a professional with standing to evaluate the DRE violations documented herein and received contemporaneous notice of the fraud as it was occurring. Tran and Le knew exactly who they were evicting.
Apr 28, 2024
Authentisign lease renewal executed — "Signing Complete" confirmation transmitted 10:36 AM — Revised renewal lease agreement for Brynn HB house confirmed complete. Documents: Res LeaseMonth-to-Month Rental Agmt - 1223 and Animal Terms Addendum - 623. Hanson Le executed this renewal as Housing Provider's Agent under BHHS California Properties DRE #01208606 — the same corporate license from which his personal license would detach 15 days later on May 13, 2024. The Authentisign signing certificate metadata records the IP address of each signer's device — a direct subpoena target to confirm whether Le signed from a California or European IP address given his stated return date of April 15.
May 13, 2024
FOUR EVENTS
ONE DAY
The enterprise executes its exit — four simultaneous acts

1. License detachment. Hanson Le's DRE license (#01358448) formally migrates from Springdale Marina Inc (#01208606) to Stratton - LFCA, Inc. (#02211662) — both Rosas-supervised entities. He is no longer authorized under the brokerage of record named on the Gasio lease. Any further contact with instruments payable to BHHS California Properties is outside his licensed authority.

2. Fifth Amendment. Hanson Le invokes his right against self-incrimination when contacted by HBPD regarding the rent dispute. California Evidence Code §413 permits an adverse inference from this invocation.

3. False written statement to tenant. Hanson Le emails complainant: "Michael: There is no one replacing me. You should contact with the owner directly." This statement is false. Springdale Marina Inc's Principal Broker (Rosas, DRE #00602101) had a statutory supervisory obligation to ensure management continuity. The statement was designed to isolate the tenant from any contact point while the three-day notice was being prepared.

4. Complainant purchases a dishwasher. On this same day — May 13, 2024 — Michael Gasio ordered a Whirlpool 24-inch dishwasher, professional installation, haul-away, parts kit, and electrical cord from Home Depot, delivered to 19235 Brynn Ct, Huntington Beach CA 92648. Order #WM68385688. Total: $1,011.52. Paid by complainant from his own funds.

Hanson Le had promised in writing: "I will get the owner approval to have a new dishwasher installed for you & your family usage." Phat Tran subsequently told complainant the technician could not fix it and would contact him for a new one — then told complainant the owner would not approve replacement. Complainant resolved the defect himself at $1,011.52 out of pocket on the same day the enterprise executed its exit and cover-up.

A jury presented with these four simultaneous May 13 events will understand them without legal instruction. The agent invoked the Fifth Amendment, detached his license, told the tenant no one was replacing him — and the tenant's documented response was to spend $1,011 of his own money repairing the property. That is not the behavior of a default. That is the behavior of a target.
SUBPOENA TARGETS
Documentary Verification — Europe Period and Authentisign IP Metadata
Hanson Le confirmed his European travel in his own text message — the following records corroborate and extend that documentary anchor
  1. Hanson Le's own text message — primary anchor: "I am currently traveling in Europe, and will be back in CA on 4/15." — Preserved, timestamped, in his own words. No subpoena required for this element.
  2. Authentisign signing certificate IP metadata — The April 26-28, 2024 lease renewal (ID 46CC8725-F703-EF11-96F5-6045BDD68161) certificate records the IP address from which each party electronically signed. If Hanson Le signed from a European IP address on April 26 — eleven days after his stated return date — that is independently verifiable. Subpoena target: Authentisign / Lone Wolf Technologies, records retention.
  3. CBP Form I-94 arrival/departure records — U.S. Customs and Border Protection maintains electronic entry/exit records. A Privacy Act request or litigation subpoena resolves exact travel dates definitively.
  4. T-Mobile international roaming records for (714) 720-5447 — International roaming charges, if any, are carrier-logged by date and country. Subpoena to T-Mobile (or applicable carrier) for April 1–18, 2024 records.
  5. BHHS / Springdale Marina Inc office access records — Key fob entry logs, building security, or MLS activity during April 1–18, 2024 would confirm or refute any claimed in-person office presence during his stated European travel period.
  6. Credit card merchant location records — Card statements for April 2024 pin physical location by date and merchant geography. European charges during the stated travel window are independently verifiable through subpoena to the cardholder's issuing bank.
SEC. 08

Why He Is the Weak Link

Across the enterprise of individuals named in this case, Hanson Tri Le is the single actor whose exposure is documented on the face of primary-source regulatory records without requiring any inference, interpretation, or credibility determination. Each of the other actors has exposure that runs through Hanson Le's documentary record.

  1. Phat Ky Tran's "Hanson has the check" text places the check in Hanson Le's hands by the landlord's own admission. Phat Tran's defense to the fraudulent-arrears narrative requires him to contradict his own text — which places Hanson Le as the pivot of the non-delivery narrative.
  2. Steven D. Silverstein's trial presentation of the contract as unpaid requires the check that was payable to the corporate entity to have disappeared. It did not disappear. It arrived at the Principal Broker's corporate office on May 30, 2024 and, per Tran's text, ended up with Hanson Le — who, per the DRE, had detached from that corporate license seventeen days earlier. Silverstein's closing argument that the check was "returned by mail" is directly contradicted by USPS tracking showing the alleged return letter was still in transit at the time of hearing.
  3. Dennis Allen Rosas's "moonlighting" framing on Call #1 requires Hanson Le's conduct to have been outside the scope of his agency — but Hanson Le was the agent who signed the contract that routed rent to his personal bank account, and Rosas is the Designated Officer who supervised him when he did it. Rosas's only coherent defense is to cast Hanson Le as the rogue operator. That cast requires Hanson Le to be the load-bearing figure of the cover story.
  4. Hanson Tri Le's personal exposure is located in his own contractual conduct, his own bank account routing, his own LLC formation, his own home title transaction through Rosas's affiliated title company, and his own license migration between Rosas's two corporate brokers. He does not need other actors' credibility to establish his exposure. Other actors need his credibility to establish their defenses.
  5. His current license (#01358448) is active through March 27, 2030 and attached to a currently operating brokerage. He has an ongoing professional license that is subject to DRE disciplinary action independent of any civil or criminal proceeding. A DRE complaint targeting license #01358448 alone, grounded in the facially-documentary §10145 trust fund routing on Section 3.D.(2) and the facially-documentary §2079.17 dual agency non-disclosure, does not require resolution of any contested fact. The contract is the evidence.

Pressure on him is pressure on everything. If Hanson Tri Le makes any statement to a regulator, a prosecutor, or a deposition officer that contradicts the public-records chain (license migration within Rosas's umbrella, LLC formation timing, Sand Dune co-address with Thao Tran, home title through Orange Coast Title, personal account routing on Section 3.D.(2)) — his own credibility collapses. If he is out of the country on dates when in-office conduct is claimed — his whereabouts defense collapses. If he cannot explain the movement of Wells Fargo Account #3312943297 funds between June 1, 2024 and the present — his trust fund defense collapses.

The pressure on him is not adversarial. It is evidentiary. Every point above is a fact an investigator, a regulator, or a civil adversary can confirm in hours through standard discovery channels. The enterprise cannot insulate him from records it does not control.

SEC. 09

Statutory Framework — Applicable to License #01358448

Allegations below are grounded in the face of the executed Authentisign lease, the California DRE license record, California Secretary of State filings, Orange County property records, USPS tracking records, and the landlord's own text message placing the check in Hanson Le's hands. No allegation below depends on contested testimony; each is supported by a document.

CAL. B&P §10145
Trust Fund Handling — Personal Account Routing
Section 3.D.(2) of the executed lease directs tenant rent to Wells Fargo Account #3312943297 in the name of "HANSON LE." Trust funds received for a principal must be (a) deposited to a broker trust account, or (b) remitted to the principal within three business days. Routing to a personal account is a §10145 violation on the face of the instrument.
CAL. B&P §2079.17
Dual Agency — Disclosure Failure
Section 41 of the executed lease identifies Hanson Le as both Tenant's Agent and Housing Provider's Agent. Disclosure checkboxes blank. No written informed consent from either principal. Violation on the face of the instrument.
CAL. B&P §10176(a) / §10176(d)
Misrepresentation / Dual Agency
Any undisclosed family or domestic connection between the agent and the landlord-principal at the time of execution, if established, is a per se §10176(d) dual agency violation compounded by §10176(a) misrepresentation.
CAL. B&P §10176(g)
Acting Outside Scope of License
Receiving, handling, or directing a financial instrument payable to a corporate brokerage entity after detaching the personal license from that corporate broker is acting outside the scope of the license on the transaction. Seventeen days separated the license detachment from the check delivery.
10 CCR §2832
DRE Trust Fund Regulation
The regulation implementing §10145 specifies the trust account deposit and remittance requirements. The Authentisign routing to a personal account, on its face, does not comply.
10 CCR §2725
Broker Supervision Regulation
The Principal Broker regulation applies — but it applies through Hanson Le's conduct. The failed supervision was of specific acts he committed. His conduct is the substantive fact on which the §10177(h) supervision charge against Rosas rests.
CAL. PEN. §484 / §487
Theft / Grand Theft (Alleged)
Physical possession of a $4,338.48 cashier's check payable to a corporate entity the possessor was not licensed under, combined with failure to deliver to the principal or return the funds, is alleged to satisfy theft elements if the intent to deprive can be established.
18 U.S.C. §1341
Mail Fraud
USPS Signature Confirmation delivery of an instrument that was subsequently placed in the hands of an individual who was no longer licensed under the corporate payee — combined with the non-delivery of the instrument to the principal — is alleged within the §1341 mail fraud framework if the intent element is established.
18 U.S.C. §1343
Wire Fraud
Electronic Authentisign execution of a lease that routed rent to a personal account, combined with electronic communications concerning rent payments that were redirected outside the trust account framework, is alleged within §1343 if wire intent elements are established.
