welcome back a lawsuit is a legend in a
local condo community was hijacked by an
association manager that's if that's not
bad enough what really sets this case
apart is this that the alleged condo
commando was working for the state at
the time and had been assigned to
investigate the very condo he's accused
of hijacking local 10 News investigative
reporter Bob Norman has a story you
really do have to see to believe
only on local 10 I confronted him one
day and I told him I see you don't
really belong here
88 year old Jim Silverman had had it
thank you
what you're doing in my eyes is illegal
Silverman is one of many at Eldorado
Plaza West condo who have a big problem
with Eduardo Iglesias the now former
manager at Eldorado who I recently
confronted as well hello Eddie
how are you doing Bob normal with
Channel ten did you abuse your state
position to take over the condo no is it
a conflict of interest Iglesias was
first to sign last year to investigate
alleged wrongdoing in El Dorado not as
an association manager but as an
examiner for the State Department of
Business Professional Regulation a
lawsuit filed by a resident alleges that
he quote hijacked this community
beginning with a recommendation that had
hire an attorney named Ana Talia Sanchez
which it did how did your wife come
together job with the garbage that's
true sir what residents say they didn't
know at the time Sanchez was the wife of
the state agent Iglesias your wife
happened to get a job there while you
were investigating for the state
okay so let's focus on your initial
question and your initial approach to me
like you'd answer that question it gets
worse the lawsuit and residents allege
his wife's law firm then cut a deal with
the condo to provide legal and quote
outsourced management services for
$2,800 a month residents say and condo
board records show the company
outsourced was called real asset
management owned by one Annie Quinn what
residents didn't know according to the
lawsuit
Eddie Quinn and Eduardo Iglesias
one in the same person his full name
Eduardo Quinn Glacius I am the same
person and they absolutely knew he said
they didn't well they're lying two last
names my friend that's traditional part
of my culture you DBPR records show the
agency was notified of Iglesias his
alleged dual roles in December he
resigned from the state in early January
citing financial reasons
Iglesias insists he only worked for the
condo after he resigned and signed this
contract with the board
I was not employed by the DBPR while
working for the Association yet board
minutes show the condo approved his
company to manage the association on
October the 18th when he was still with
the state and in this October 30th email
he describes himself his manager of the
condo if we have evidence that shows
that you were paid while you were still
with the DBPR
is there a problem with that could there
be a problem with that yes there could
be a problem with that local 10 obtained
this $500 check made out directly to
Eddie Quinn from an Alvarado bank
account in November while he was still
with the state he claimed to use that
money to pay for common expenses at the
condo but still denies he was manager
though that you were taking management
duties over the condo while you were
still with the DBPR doesn't show
anything other it shows her and you know
what it doesn't show is that I was
getting paid is this a conflict of
interest
absolutely the new condo manager Daniel
Perez says the condo was left in
financial dire straits and that he
Glacia still hasn't turned over
important records something Iglesias
disputes it sounded like a scam from the
very beginning
so where's DBPR and all this well they
confirm they have two active
investigations into Iglesias who says
he's gonna fight this all the way in the
video port I'm Bob Norman local 10 News
and Bob left messages with Iglesias wife
Sanchez who did not return them while
residents say the DBPR lost control of
Iglesias the agency said only that it
will continue to monitor all of its
employees to quote prevent impropriety
and maintain the public's trust and
quote Iglesias and the other defendants
haven't responded to that residents
lawsuit yet
