Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Non-Argument Calendar.
1Per curiam
This lawsuit, while not a class action, concerns 232 plaintiffs who filed a fifteen-count complaint against Frederick Elliott, his son Derek Elliott, a maze of the Elliott’s companies, and the Elliott’s law firm. 1 The complaint alleges claims under the federal RICO statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) and (d), and under various state laws. The claims are based on allegations that the Elliotts defrauded individuals throughout the United States by devising an investment scheme through which investors could purchase real estate interests in luxury vacation properties in the Dominican Republic.
