In May 2022, I discovered that the leasing agent, Anna Ly, had knowingly omitted our two large dogs from the rental agreement — despite our email thread confirming that she was fully aware from day one. I retained the text in which she wrote, “we left them off to make it easier for you.” This omission turned out to be the first of many misrepresentations.
The day of move-in, we were not given the complete access code. The agent who was supposed to conduct the walkthrough failed to appear. Once inside, we found extensive damage: mold in the kitchen, substandard flooring layered over rot, and a missing washer/dryer despite advertising. When questioned, the owner stated, “I just bought you a house. I’m not buying you a washer and dryer.” When I pushed the issue, they offered to return our money and demanded that we vacate within 24 hours — despite the move-in already being underway.
Within four months, Anna informed us that rent would now be due by the 20th — retroactively — and failure to comply would result in a $500 fine and credit damage. I objected: “You may not change the contract after we’ve all signed it.” That pressure appears to meet the legal threshold for civil extortion.
I signed a lease extension she emailed from her father's office. My wife never received a copy — she was not included in the DocuSign loop. For year two, all lease copies provided were voided DocuSign versions with no countersignatures.
At this point, the house still had mold and roof leaks. The contractor said “it’ll take six days to tear out all the rot.” That work was never done. LY Construction — run by the agent’s family — installed new flooring directly over damaged surfaces without a license.
In early 2024, I gave notice we might vacate. The owner said he’d rather keep us, and we were referred to Hanson Le from Berkshire Hathaway. But Hanson disappeared until April 15. On April 19, I sent a $5,350 rent payment. Hanson confirmed receipt in writing: “Hanson has the check.” That check was never credited.
At month’s end, we were told that to receive our lease, we must resubmit credit applications. The new lease lacked every prior term — no dog deposit, no key receipts, no co-tenant names. We were pressured to sign or face eviction. I signed under protest, knowing we’d be forced into court.
In June 2024, a man approached claiming to be my landlord and demanding $5,350. He wasn’t Asian, unlike the owner, which raised suspicion. Three days later, we were served a notice to vacate — even though June rent had already been tendered, as proven by text and postal delivery records.
Attorney Steven Silverstein filed an unlawful detainer omitting all proof of payment. He presented to the court a voided envelope and claimed that our July payment “had been returned.” He never explained how or when — and the court accepted this despite USPS records showing otherwise.
The judge agreed to a second hearing. By then I had tracked every communication, payment, and fraud marker. The record showed: money was received, lease was altered, and court filings were knowingly misleading. Yet judgment still went against me — ignoring the evidence.
I contacted multiple agencies: the Huntington Beach Police Department, the State of California, the Attorney General’s Office, and the United States Postal Inspector. Hanson Le invoked the Fifth. Berkshire Hathaway declined to investigate. The franchise signed for certified mail but never acted.
Attorney Richard Rosiak accepted $8,000 and withdrew just before trial. I proceeded pro se. The record now shows over 20 counts of wire, mail, and bank fraud; 3 confirmed counts of perjury; and numerous contract violations tied to forged documents and shell companies.
I built this portal to show the facts clearly — for prosecutors, for investigators, and for the public. I have over 900 questions prepared and matched to each statute, each actor, and each act. What they did was not civil. It was criminal. And this record proves it.
