Hoffman’s Hidden Deal and Pini’s Recovery

from Santa Barbara News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A shady real estate fixer named William Hoffman secretly sold his management company to a Texas firm while still overseeing Pini’s troubled downtown buildings — all while pocketing $6,500 a month and hiding the deal from the court. When exposed, the judge called it fraud, tossing Hoffman’s income and ordering him to repay over $1.3 million in misused fees, repairs, and legal costs — while a new receiver cleaned up the mess in record time, finally getting the properties up to code after years of neglect.
