That deal was called Daniels View. It was a more ambitious project, but land records and documents prepared for potential investors show that the structure of the two deals had much in common. Allegations of fraud, unusual land transfers and undisclosed conflicts of interests are at the heart of the federal indictment that Cabrera faces on the Fiddlesticks properties. And while no one involved with Daniels View faces criminal charges, similar allegations of fraud involving the project are detailed in two investor lawsuits.

In a recent column you mentioned the Federal Fair Housing Act requires a census every two years. You also mentioned an affidavit that a member of each home must sign and present with proof of age.
