\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s been happening recently with \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, the development that has been proposed for around 1,000 acres across Queen Ka\u02bbahumanu Highway from the Mauna Lani resort, along the Kohala Coast of Hawai\u02bbi Island?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fasten your seat belts. It\u2019s a lot. And you might want to keep a scorecard handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short and admittedly incomplete summation was provided in a Bankruptcy Court filing in late June from the company\u2019s largest creditor, Bridge \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, LLC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe undisputed facts are that: \u02bbAina Le\u02bba remains in material default of its obligations under the [Bankruptcy] Plan; \u02bbAina Le\u02bba is losing the Subject Property and neighboring parcels to foreclosure proceedings in State Court; \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s unpaid real property tax bills are ballooning; \u02bbAina Le\u02bba has made no discernible progress under the Plan; \u02bbAina Le\u02bba lacks any credible way forward under the Plan\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s familiar and empty assurances aside, \u2026 the Plan has failed, and there is no real chance of \u02bbAina Le\u02bba succeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, barring an angel investor coming up with the capital needed to bail out \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, the company will likely lose title to the 38-acre parcel where 12 years ago it began building townhouses to satisfy the affordable housing condition placed on the development. It\u2019s the only parcel of the four owned by the company that has seen any vertical construction at all in the 14 years \u02bbAina Le\u02bba has owned the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 7, Judge Wendy DeWeese will hold a hearing to confirm the foreclosure sale of the parcel to a Canadian company that is owed more than $13 million by \u02bbAina Le\u02bba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, Inc., has been running on fumes, with promises of big payouts and capital infusions just around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in August 2019, the company had expectations of a $42 million loan from Summit Financial Resources of Utah. Another lender, Iron Horse Credit, had provided a $5 million loan, maturing in just one year, that was to keep the company afloat until the Summit funds came through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terms of the Iron Horse loan were harsh. As \u02bbAina Le\u02bba CEO Robert Wessels acknowledged in a Bankruptcy Court hearing, the effective rate of the Iron Horse loan was \u201c22 or 23 percent, all in, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet the Summit loan never materialized. And the Iron Horse loan went into default well before the note matured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u02bbAina Le\u02bba litigation over the last few years may well be remembered as having more court action than the Wimbledon games. There is the ongoing foreclosure litigation in 3rd<\/sup> Circuit Court, including the confirmation of the pending foreclosure sale. There\u2019s \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s appeal of the 3rd<\/sup> Circuit Court\u2019s grant of one foreclosure action now before the Intermediate Court of Appeals, even as others have stalled out in Circuit Court, with a trial date set for next January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the federal Bankruptcy Court has been asked, twice now, to reopen the \u02bbAina Le\u02bba case, most recently as a result of 3rd<\/sup> Circuit Judge DeWeese\u2019s acknowledged confusion over what the Bankruptcy Plan requires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there was the decision by Judge Susan Oki Mollway of the U.S. District Court of Hawai\u02bbi in late May. Mollway tossed out the company\u2019s claim that the state owed it more than $360 million as a result of the Land Use Commission\u2019s vote a decade earlier to revert the land from the Urban District to the Agricultural \u2013 a decision that was reversed on appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that, Wessels may well have lost his best, last hope of an infusion of capital sufficient to pay off the company\u2019s creditors, collectively owed more than $40 million, to say nothing of the long promised development of more than 2,000 units of housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iron Horse Sues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well before Judge Mollway\u2019s ruling, the creditors had been circling. From the spring of 2017 until late August 2019, they were kept at bay while \u02bbAina Le\u02bba went through Chapter 11 reorganization. When, finally, a reorganization plan was approved, most of the creditors\u2019 claims were stayed for varying periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that didn\u2019t prevent Iron Horse, the creditor of last resort, from suing for foreclosure in October 2020. And since Iron Horse\u2019s claims on the secured properties were junior to those of Bridge (owed $20 million plus 10.2 percent per year interest), Romspen Investment Corporation (a Canadian lender owed around $13 million plus interest), and Libo Zhang (a resident of China owed around $6.5 million plus interest accruing at 12 percent per year), all those parties were drawn into the litigation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2021, Judge DeWeese found that \u02bbAina Le\u02bba was in default of the Iron Horse loan. \u02bbAina Le\u02bba appealed that judgment to the ICA, where it is pending. (Iron Horse has transferred its interest in the litigation to another company, SDCK I, LLC, which is now the appellee in the case.) The appellate court case notwithstanding, Iron Horse\/SDCK I is still moving forward with its foreclosure, with a sale date tentatively set for November 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bankruptcy Court, Part II<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nudged into action by the Iron Horse lawsuit, in late November 2020, Romspen sought relief from the Bankruptcy Court. With \u02bbAina Le\u02bba having defaulted on the Iron Horse loan, Romspen argued, it was clear that \u02bbAina Le\u02bba had materially breached terms of the Bankruptcy Plan, which had taken effect in August 2019. The relief Romspen sought was to put \u02bbAina Le\u02bba out of business, converting the Chapter 11 relief, which allowed the company to reorganize, to Chapter 7, in which the company would be dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Faris held a hearing on Romspen\u2019s request on February 22, 2021. \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s attorney, Steve Jakubowski of Chicago, argued that in fact, his client\u2019s assets \u2013 found almost entirely in the value of the land \u2013 approached $100 million, more than sufficient to fully satisfy the creditors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Faris took note of the several points raised by Jakubowski that favored \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, including the change in county administration with the election of Mitch Roth as mayor. But, Faris said, what he \u201cwas really hoping to see today, or before today, was the commitment letter from Summit \u2026 and there\u2019s still no commitment from Summit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iron Horse default, Jakubowski acknowledged, was \u201cdefinitely an issue.\u201d But, he added, \u201cwhen we negotiated over this plan, nobody \u2013 the debtor was certainly not going to agree that a default under the Iron Horse agreement, if it was only one year, would trigger an acceleration of all of the other secured debt. We never would have agreed to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the dim prospects of financing, Faris was skeptical about \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s ability to find the capital it needed to satisfy not just the Iron Horse indebtedness, but also that of Romspen, whose note would be coming due a mere six months from the hearing date. In addition, he was concerned over the company\u2019s failure to keep current with property taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his misgivings, Faris denied Romspen\u2019s motion, saying that state court would be the appropriate venue to hear the foreclosure claims. Yet he expressed serious doubts about \u02bbAina Le\u2019a\u02bbs prospects to become a viable company. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t surprise me anyway to see this debtor and\/or its subsidiaries back in Chapter 11 at some point in the next \u2013 in the future. It wouldn\u2019t shock me in the slightest. But, you know, given the circumstances of this case, I think that\u2019s actually \u2013 that actually may be the only way to get Bankruptcy Court relief for the problems this debtor faces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romspen Prevails<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a short-lived victory for \u02bbAina Le\u02bba. Sure enough, when the Romspen note came due in August 2021, Romspen was back in state circuit court to reopen the foreclosure action that had been on ice since 2017, when \u02bbAina Le\u02bba filed for bankruptcy protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a hearing on February 15, not attended by any representative of \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, 3rd<\/sup> Circuit Judge Wendy DeWeese found in Romspen\u2019s favor, instructing its attorney, Jordan Kimura, to prepare the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 6, the court issued the default judgment of foreclosure against Lulana Gardens (the subsidiary holding the \u201caffordable housing\u201d parcel), \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, Inc., Emerald Hawai\u02bbi Services, Inc. (the entity, controlled by \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, that manages the interests of the several hundred Asian investors who purchased \u201cundivided land fractions\u201d in the \u02bbAina Le\u02bba property), and CEO Wessels himself, as a guarantor of the loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George \u201cRick\u201d Robinson of Kona was appointed commissioner. On August 16, his report was filed with the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robinson stated that he found the property \u201cmaintained, gates secured, and a newly delivered sewage treatment plant on site. The existing units are secured and security is provided by Lulana Gardens via a live-on-site caretaker.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robinson attempted to obtain a title report for the property \u201cfrom several title companies with one title company declining the request and the other title company agreeing yet not delivering that report to date.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice was published in West Hawaii Today<\/em> of open houses, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the property. On August 8, when Robinson held the sale at the flagpole fronting the Kona courthouse, nine people were present, but just one \u2013 an agent of Romspen \u2013 offered a bid of $13 million. \u201cAfter repeatedly soliciting higher bids and receiving none,\u201d Robinson wrote, \u201cyour commissioner declared the property sold to Romspen for a $13 million credit bid, subject to confirmation thereof by the court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of mid-September, Romspen\u2019s motion to have the court approve the sale was set to be heard October 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even if Romspen does take title to the Lulana Gardens property, that does not mean that its claims against \u02bbAina Le\u02bba have been fully satisfied. Attached to the motion seeking court approval of the foreclosure sale is an affidavit from Peter Oelbaum, managing partner of Romspen, that places the full amount owed to Romspen by \u02bbAina Le\u02bba entities and Wessels at $18,361,388.89, as of mid-August. Some $13.3 million was owed at the time \u02bbAina Le\u02bba emerged from bankruptcy. Since then, under terms of the note, interest at 12.5 percent annually for two years added $5,061,388.89 to that amount, Oelbaum stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robinson also was appointed commissioner for the Iron Horse\/SDCK I foreclosure sale, now tentatively set for the end of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bankruptcy Court, Yet Again<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout 2021 and into the current year, the foreclosure litigation initiated by Iron Horse continued in the courtroom of Wendy DeWeese, even after the judge had granted Iron Horse its motion to foreclose and as Romspen was pursuing its own foreclosure action in a separate docket. Creditors Bridge and Zhang continued to seek relief from DeWeese in the form of a judgment of foreclosure against \u02bbAina Le\u02bba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that was not forthcoming. \u02bbAina Le\u02bba attorney Michael Matsukawa opposed their motions, arguing, as before, that terms of the Bankruptcy Plan meant that Bridge and Zhang would have to wait until five years after the date the bankruptcy plan took effect \u2013 until August 2024, that is \u2013 to obtain any relief, including foreclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Zhang and Bridge filed their second motions for summary judgment, seeking to address concerns that DeWeese had raised in response to their first such motions. But both were frustrated by DeWeese\u2019s apparent hesitancy to make a call on disputed claims as to the meaning of the Bankruptcy Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the April order denying Bridge\u2019s second motion for summary judgment states, DeWeese allowed as how she \u201chas jurisdiction to interpret\u201d the Bankruptcy Plan, but then went on to say that the plan is ambiguous when it discusses the term \u201cliens,\u201d how that term affects Bridge\u2019s right to foreclose through these proceedings, if at all; what events might allow Bridge to foreclose before the fifth anniversary of the date the plan took effect; and what concessions Bridge might have made in agreeing to the plan, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those \u201cambiguities,\u201d she found, \u201craised issues of material fact precluding summary judgment in Bridge\u2019s favor.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late May, Bridge filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court, asking it to issue a clarifying order. The Bankruptcy Plan, Bridge argued, did not preclude Bridge from exercising its right to foreclose, especially in light of the Iron Horse grant of foreclosure and the ballooning property taxes on the \u02bbAina Le\u02bba property \u2013 both of which, Bridge stated, amounted to material defaults of the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe concerns that this [Bankruptcy] Court expressed more than a year ago over the Plan\u2019s viability and \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s failure to perform its obligations are now full-blown,\u201d Bridge said in its Bankruptcy Court filing. \u201cSince this Court heard the [Romspen] motion to reopen and convert and denied it, \u02bbAina Le\u02bba has: (a) continued to fail to pay its real property taxes \u2026; (b) had judgment entered against it and in favor of Iron Horse \u2026 (c) had judgment entered against it and in favor of Romspen\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u02bbAina Le\u02bba has not made any<\/em> progress on developing the subject property or the neighboring parcels pursuant to the Plan, and \u02bbAina Le\u02bba no longer has any means of doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was necessary to ask the Bankruptcy Court to make clear the meaning of the Bankruptcy Plan, wrote Bridge attorney John D. Ferry III, because \u201cthe State Court\u2019s inability to interpret the Plan is, effectively, an endorsement of \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s misinterpretation of the Plan and its effect on Bridge\u2019s rights. According to \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, the Plan stripped Bridge of its substantive rights \u2026 and left Bridge with only a priority \u2018Lien\u2019 on the subject property and a right to payment by August 14, 2024. \u2026 Therefore, \u02bbAina Le\u02bba argues, Bridge must wait to seek any relief until August 14, 2024 (when \u02bbAina Le\u02bba inevitably defaults on its obligation under the Plan to pay Bridge\u2019s secured claim for $20,000,000 plus interest). In the meantime, \u02bbAina Le\u02bba claims that the Plan entitles \u02bbAina Le\u02bba to materially breach the Plan with impunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferry concluded: \u201c\u02bbAina Le\u02bba simply wants to delay the inevitable, for as long as possible, for no good reason. The plan has failed, spectacularly, and has no viable chance of success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faris, the Bankruptcy Court judge, set a hearing date of July 1. On June 24, Bridge filed its reply memorandum to \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s statement of position. In it, Ferry quoted back to Faris a statement Faris had made in the January 2021 hearing on Romspen\u2019s request that he convert \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s bankruptcy into a Chapter 7 proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[T]he [Bankruptcy] Plan changed the party\u2019s payment rights and preserved their millions, but it didn\u2019t expressly strip off loan covenants and other obligations,\u201d Ferry quoted from the hearing transcript. \u201cIf nothing else, stripping off the covenants would arguably eliminate the right to foreclose on non-payment, and that simply can\u2019t be the result.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following that hearing, Judge Faris was to issue a ruling on the question posed by Bridge. The attorney for \u02bbAina Le\u02bba, Jakubowski, was instructed to prepare the order. As of mid-September, that order had not been posted. The foreclosure actions of Bridge and Zhang in state court are pretty well on hold until that occurs, or until \u02bbAina Le\u02bba returns to Bankruptcy Court, seeking its protection from creditors once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Conflicting Claims<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In court filings, \u02bbAina Le\u02bba has represented that it will have few problems satisfying its creditors\u2019 claims once it is able to start \u2013 or, rather, resume \u2013 work on the construction of the townhouses planned for the Lulana Gardens portion of its overall development plan. The first couple of buildings in what is to be a 432-unit townhouse complex were put up more than a decade ago, when \u02bbAina Le\u02bba was attempting to demonstrate to the state Land Use Commission that it could comply with conditions relating to satisfaction of its affordable housing requirement. For most of the intervening period, work on the townhouse was stalled as the company faced numerous financial, regulatory, and judicial hurdles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the mounting legal and financial troubles the company faces, the Hawai\u02bbi County administration under Mayor Roth has done everything it could to help Wessels out. Within days of Roth taking office in December 2020, Roth\u2019s planning director, Zendo Kern, informed the attorney for \u02bbAina Le\u02bba that the county would no longer be insisting that the company prepare a new environmental impact statement for the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Roth himself has appeared in videos promoting the townhouses alongside the real estate agents that have been retained by \u02bbAina Le\u02bba to sell at least some of the units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan Kunz, appointed by Roth to head up the county Office of Housing and Community Development despite her earlier tenure in that position when several fraudulent housing agreements were signed, has also touted the Lulana Gardens project in statements to community groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a presentation to a Big Island group, Vibrant Hawai\u02bbi, in June, however, Kunz herself expressed some skepticism as to the likelihood of the housing ever being developed. In enumerating the various affordable housing projects in the pipeline, Kunz put up a slide depicting an architectural drawing of what the townhouse development might look like. After acknowledging that the project had been on the books for 20 years or more, Kunz said, \u201cI put this slide in here because I\u2019m just being hopeful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2021, the county entered into an affordable housing agreement with \u02bbAina Le\u02bba that committed the company to building 385 affordable units on the Lulana Gardens parcel, which \u2013 at the various specified levels of affordability \u2013 would earn the company 219.5 affordable housing credits. In addition to the affordable units, 47 market-rate units would be built. An addendum signed in June of that same year committed \u02bbAina Le\u02bba to build 120 units of affordable housing on two more parcels \u2013 the 23-acre parcel that \u02bbAina Le\u02bba has proposed for the Ho\u02bbolei Village development (encumbered by the Libo Zhang mortgage and secondarily by the Iron Horse mortgage), and the adjoining 383-acre parcel (encumbered by the Bridge mortgage and again Iron Horse as a junior lienholder).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altogether, should the housing ever be built, the county committed to issuing 367 housing credits to \u02bbAina Le\u02bba. (As an aside, the 2021 agreements specify that the credits are to be awarded \u201conly after a unit has been constructed and made available for rental,\u201d thus precluding the possibility the credits could be sold before the housing is built, as occurred in the recently disclosed affordable housing scandal on the Big Island.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By their terms, both the initial agreement and the addendum are to run with the land and \u201care binding upon the developer\u2019s successors in title and all subsequent owners and operators of the property.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the first affordable housing agreement was signed, in May 2021, Wessels entered into a purchase and sale agreement covering the Lulana Gardens parcel with Lava Rock, LLC, a newly formed company registered in Delaware with an address in Palm Beach, Florida. Signing on behalf of Lava Rock was David Koch, who identified himself as sole member and authorized person of Saxon Holdings LLC, which in turn was the sole member of Lava Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lava Rock turns up again in the required annual report submitted  by Wessels to the Land Use Commission and the county Planning Department at the end of 2021. In discussing the Lulana Gardens development, Wessels states, \u201cUnder an agreement with Lava Rock rental fund to provide 384 rental townhomes for 219.5 affordable housing credits, Lulana Gardens, LLC, projects requesting certificates of occupancy for the first 96 homes in the third quarter of 2022. Thereafter Lulana Gardens is committed to deliver 16 townhomes per month until all 384 homes are completed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Taxes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When \u02bbAina Le\u02bba exited bankruptcy in August 2019, it was briefly current on county property taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February last year, as Judge Faris of the Bankruptcy Court considered Romspen\u2019s request to liquidate \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s assets, he expressed concern over the company\u2019s failure to pay property taxes since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jakubowski, \u02bbAina Le\u02bba\u2019s attorney, suggested that given the value of the company\u2019s assets \u2013 which Wessels had placed at $100 million or more \u2013 the tax obligation was a mere bagatelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faris disagreed. \u201cI do think that the failure to pay the taxes is clearly a default,\u201d he opined. \u201cI\u2019m inclined to say that it\u2019s a material default. It\u2019s true that the amount is small relative to the value of the property, but it\u2019s equally true that it is, I would say, infinitely larger than the debtor\u2019s capacity to pay it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, the tax burden has only grown. As of the end of September, county records show, it stood at $1,256,326.19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
