PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Plaintiffs, LAURENT LEMOINE (“Lemoine”) an individual, and US FORCE

ONE, LLC (“UFO”), a Florida Limited Liability Company, (hereinafter referred to collectively

as “Plaintiffs”), pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.510, by and through the

undersigned counsel moves the Court for an order granting Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary

Judgment against Defendant VINCENT JEAN THILLOY (hereinafter referred to as “Thilloy” or

“Defendant”), and in support thereof, states:

INTRODUCTION

Plaintiffs, a French National and his Florida-based company, are victims of Defendant,

Thilloy’s investor based-fraud scheme. It is evident through the recent facts that have come to

light in the various depositions discussed below, that Defendant used acts of trickery and deceit,

to swindle Plaintiffs out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Specifically, Defendant Thilloy


made material misrepresentations and omissions, to get Plaintiffs to purchase the stock of a

company called VM Beach Group, Inc. (Hereinafter referred to as “VM Beach Group Inc.” or the

“Corporation” or the “Business”). Defendant fraudulently induced the Plaintiffs to enter into the

Stock Purchase Agreement and Shareholder Agreement by providing a falsified long-term lease

for the subject property, which never actually existed. The Defendant’s collective actions and

fraudulent inducement of Plaintiffs’ investment resulted in the loss of Plaintiffs entire investment

and has left Plaintiffs at risk of losing their E2 immigration status here in the United States.

Plaintiffs request that this Court enter a summary judgment against Defendant, Thilloy, as

to Counts I (Breach of Stock Purchase Agreement), II (Breach of Implied Covenant of Good

Faith and Fair Dealing under the Stock Purchase Agreement), IV (Fraud in the Performance of

the Stock Purchase Agreement), V (Breach of the Shareholder Agreement), VI (Breach of

Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing under the Shareholder Agreement), VII

(Breach of Fiduciary Duty under the Shareholder Agreement), and XII (Fraud in the Inducement)

of Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint dated January 29, 2018 (hereinafter referred to as the

“Complaint”). The grounds and substantial matter of law to be argued on this motion are set forth

below. This Motion will show that as to Counts I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, and XII of Plaintiffs’

Complaint, there are no genuine issues as to any material fact, and that Plaintiffs are entitled to a

judgement as a matter of law based on the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as other

authorities.

SUMMARY OF THE FACTS

At the time of Plaintiffs’ investment, Defendant Thilloy was president of VM Beach

Group, Inc., a Florida for Profit Corporation, who owned and operated the restaurant, Chef

Vincent (hereinafter referred to as “Restaurant”). [Complaint ¶ 19 & Deposition Transcript of

Plaintiff, at 117:9-11; 262:23-263:1 filed as Exhibit “A” within Defendants’ Notice of Filing

Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary Judgment]. Lemoine was

presented with a ten-year (10) plus five-year (5) year option to extend after the minimum 10 year

Restaurant Lease Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Restaurant Lease Agreement” or

“Commercial Lease”) between Room Mate Lord Balfour Hotel (herein after referred to as

“Hotel”) and VM Beach Group, Inc. [See Restaurant Lease Agreement attached hereto as

“Exhibit A” & Deposition Transcript of Plaintiff, at 167:16-168:18 filed as Exhibit “A” within

Defendants’ Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary

Judgment]. The Restaurant Lease Agreement was dated May 1, 2016 and was signed by

supposed Mario Valadares De R. Costa (hereinafter referred to as “Mario Valadares”) apparently

on behalf of the Hotel and Vincent Thilloy on behalf of VM Beach Group, Inc. [See Deposition

Transcript of Thilloy, at 30:10-15 filed as Exhibit “H” within Defendants’ Notice of Filing

Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary Judgment].

On September 19, 2016, Plaintiffs executed a Letter of Intent for VM Beach Group, Inc.,

which offered a purchase price of five hundred and sixty thousand dollars ($560,000.00) for fifty

percent (50%) of shares of common stock of VM Beach Group, Inc. based on Defendant’s

presentation of the business. [Deposition Transcript of Plaintiff at, 177:9-15; 319:2-5 filed as

Exhibit “A” within Defendants’ Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for

Final Summary Judgment]. On October 1, 2016 Plaintiffs executed the Stock Purchase

Agreement based on the information provided by Defendant Thilloy regarding the ten year plus

five-year Restaurant Lease. [Deposition Transcript of Plaintiff, at 63:10-145 filed as Exhibit “A”

within Defendants’ Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final

Summary Judgment]. Moreover, the Seller’s Affidavit signed and provided by Defendant

Thilloy, as well as the Stock Purchase Agreement, clearly mentioned the Commercial Lease,

referencing that the lease was in good standing and in full force and effect. [See Seller’s

Affidavit attached hereto as “Exhibit B” paragraph 5 which states “The leases for the premises at

which the Businesses are located are in good standing and the Corporation is in full Compliance

through the date hereof and will be in full compliance therewith through the Disbursement Date,

with all of its terms and conditions, including maintenance of the premises and Payment of the

rent.”; See Section 3.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as “Exhibit C” which

states “The Lease is in full force and effect, and the Corporation and/or Seller has fully

performed all its obligations to be performed to date under such Lease.”; Complaint ¶ 28 – 31;

Deposition Transcript of Plaintiff, at 63:10-14; 230:10-231:1; 231:3-65 filed as Exhibit “A”

within Defendants’ Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final

Summary Judgment]. Unbeknownst to Lemoine, the long-term Commercial Lease presented to

the Plaintiffs by Defendant Thilloy, for the location of the Restaurant, was, in fact, a fake lease

fraudulently executed by Thilloy in an effort to induce Plaintiffs into purchasing 50% of VM

Beach Group without any valid long-term lease actually in place. [Complaint ¶ 25 & Deposition

Transcript of Plaintiff, at 167:16-168:185 filed as Exhibit “A” within Defendants’ Notice of

Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary Judgment].

The corporate representative for the Room Mate Lord Balfour and actual hotel manager,

Adnan Jafarov, confirmed that the discussion between himself and Vincent Thilloy solely

included terms for a month-to-month tenancy, that no written lease was ever discussed, and that

this was consistent with the hotel’s goals and intention at that time that the hotel’s first-time

third-party food and beverage operator operate a no-commitment, month-to-month basis in order

to gauge performance until a more long-term decision would be made. (See Deposition of Adnan

Jafarov, filed at pages 67-76; see also, pgs. 207-2105 filed as Exhibit “D” within Defendants’

Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary Judgment) Mr.

Jafarov testified, as the designated corporate representative, that Room Mate Lord Balfour Hotel,

LLC confirmed within their corporate records, and with the appropriate and involved corporate

staff and employees, that no written lease ever existed for the restaurant Chef Vincent, with any

individual or operating entity, be it VM Beach Group, Inc. or Chef Vincent Inc. and that the

lease was, in the corporation’s opinion, a “fake document” containing a fraudulent signature on

behalf of the hotel, as Mario Valadares de R Costa was not an authorized agent of the hotel or its

ownership. See Deposition of Adnan Jafarov at pgs. 153- 160; pgs. 229-231; see also, pgs. 207-

210 1.

Q: Why would you say the hotel did not intend to have a long –term agreement?
A: At that moment, first of all, we were new to each other, us and Vince (Vincent
Thilloy), and we wanted to have a month-to-month tenancy just to see how things
worked.

(See Jafarov deposition 15:16-20)

Q: I believe you stated earlier—and correct me if I’m wrong—that it was always your
intention as the hotel to have a month-to-month lease with VM Beach Group [sic] and
Vincent Thilloy, is that correct”
A: That’s correct.

(See Jafarov deposition 18:4-8)

2. Based upon my personal knowledge and review of related records, at no time did a
valid lease ever exist between Vincent Thilloy and/or VM Beach Group, Inc. and the
Room Mate Lord Balfour Hotel located at 350 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, FL 33139.

(See Affidavit signed by Adnan Jafarov as Exhibit “D” Paragraph #2)

1
Asked “Why do you believe this is a fake lease?”, Adnan responded: “Because the person executing it or signing it
doesn’t work for us, for the hotel I manage. Never worked for the hotel that I managed during my tenure.”
Deposition of Adnan Jafarov at pg. 207, Lines 12-17. Adnan went on “And people that were in the position to sign it
that I referred earlier didn’t have any information about neither the person nor this lease. Id. at pg. 207, 19-22.
Adnan also answered “Yes” to these questions “Anybody signing a lease on behalf of the hotel or at least one of the
hotels that you manage, you would be 100 percent aware of who that person was?” and “And you would be aware of
any lease that existed within your hotel?” Id. at pgs. 207-208, Lines 22-25, 1-3.

Additionally, the long-term Commercial Lease that was the foundation of Lemoine’s

investment was supposedly signed by a Mario Valadares de R. Costa. However, it was

discovered that Mario Valadares de R. Costa holds no position with the Hotel, and never has held

any position whatsoever with the Hotel or its management team.

Q: Since your last deposition, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that your
testimony was then, and in your affidavit, that you do not know of any Mario Valadares
working for Hotel Lord Balfour at anytime, is that correct?
A: That is correct.
Q: Since your last deposition and testimony, have you found or come across any
documentation or history of Mr. Valadares ever working for Lord Balfour Hotel?
A: No, I haven’t.

3. Based upon my personal knowledge and review of related records, there currently is
not and has never been an individual by the name of Mario Valadares de R. Costa who
was ever employed by the Room Mate Lord Balfour Hotel located at 350 Ocean Drive,
Miami Beach, FL 33139.

(Deposition of Adnan Jafarov, at 19:7-20; see affidavit signed by Adnan Jafarov attached

as Exhibit “D” Paragraph #3)

Moreover, Defendant Thilloy stated in his deposition that he never discussed any

Restaurant Lease Agreement with any Hotel employee or Hotel manager after the execution of

the fake lease. [Deposition of Thilloy, at 107:7-125 filed as Exhibit “H” within Defendants’

Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary Judgment]. Nor

did Thilloy ever receive any other documentation from the Hotel as it pertained to the Restaurant

Lease Agreement, for example no notification of the lease, modification, addendums,

confirmation of the lease, or anything of that nature. [Deposition of Thilloy, at 107:12-21 filed as

Exhibit “A” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’

Response in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion

for Leave to Amend]. It is evident that Defendant Thilloy had no intentions of actually securing a

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
6
ten year plus five-year option Restaurant lease agreement with the landlord Hotel, which was the

key element and basis of Lemoine’s entire investments as purchaser of 50% of the restaurant

business for the price of $560,000. Lemoine was intentionally misled to believe VM Beach

Group Inc. had a long-term commercial lease with the Hotel location which is the sole reason

Lemoine agreed to pay the amount paid due to the value of the long-term lease in that specific

location of Miami Beach, Florida. Defendant Thilloy had thoroughly thought out his scheme to

defraud Plaintiffs in knowing that the fraudulent lease only required notice to Landlord of

Plaintiffs’ involvement if the controlling interest of company was changed, according to the

Assignment clause 13 of the Fraudulent Lease. Therefore, by only selling 50% of the company

Thilloy effectively kept Plaintiffs names from being added to any lease whatsoever and

effectively limited the communications between Plaintiffs and the landlord Hotel in order to

avoid being confronted about the long-term commercial lease which did not actually exist. (See

Fraudulent Commercial Lease)

Additionally, the fraudulent lease as well as the Bill of Sale presented to Plaintiffs, was

supposedly notarized by Cede Davis, and seems to be signed by both Defendant Thilloy and

Mario Valadares. However, Cede Davis stated that Mr. Thilloy did have access to his notary

stamp and although Cede Davis’ notary commission stamp appears on the Bill of Sale, it is not

his signature on the document, and he has no recollection of ever notarizing the document.

[Deposition of Cede Davis, at 9:14-24 filed as Exhibit “E” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing

Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment]. Cede Davis

explained that this document was notarized without him being present, as his signatures do not

appear next to the notary stamp on the document. [Deposition of Cede Davis, at 19:23-25 filed as

Exhibit “E” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928

for Summary Judgment]. Further, Cede Davis conceded that Thilloy must have notarized or

stamped that document on his own without Cede Davis knowing, because Thilloy is the only

person who would benefit from a document of this type. [Deposition of Cede Davis, at 20:1-11

filed as Exhibit “E” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’

Motion for Summary Judgment].

Furthermore, in his deposition Thilloy stated that he never met Mario Valadares, the

supposed manager of the Hotel. [Deposition of Vincent Thilloy, at 25:7-9 filed as Exhibit “A”

within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Response in

Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion for Leave to

Amend] This is completely false due to the fact that in his affidavit, Jean Vincent NAURAIS

clearly states that Thilloy had met and had drinks with both Naurais and Mario Valadares at the

Marlin hotel several times in 2013.

“When Mario Valadares de R. Costa was coming to Miami, he had drinks with Vincent

Thilloy and myself at night at the bar of the restaurant. Vincent Thilloy knows Mario

Valadares de R. Costa very well.”

(see Naurais Affidavit attached as exhibit “F”).

This affidavit is corroborated by the fact that Thilloy and Valadares were doing business together

in 2013 as it relates to the Marlin Hotel. Thilloy even admitted to having signed a lease in 2013

with Mario Valadares at the Marlin Hotel, where Valadares was in fact Thilloy’s Landlord.

[Deposition of Vincent Thilloy, at 30:16-19 filed as Exhibit “A” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of

Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Response in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion

for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion for Leave to Amend].

In addition to the depositions and documents clearly showing that Defendant Vincent

Thilloy defrauded Plaintiffs in this matter, several affidavits and Federal cases exist which state

and allege, respectively, that Defendant Thilloy has committed these types of fraudulent schemes

against other French immigrants residing in Miami in the past. Specifically, Jean-Vincent

Naurais describes in his affidavit that Thilloy had planned on selling 50% of the Marlin hotel

restaurant and defraud a potential buyer for $500,000 for 50% of the restaurant at that location,

therefore Naurais removed himself as broker (see Naurais Affidavit attached as Exhibit “F”). The

other Affidavit prepared by Bill Manrique states several occasions over the years where Thilloy

has successfully defrauded French buyers out of $1,000,000 through the fraudulent sales of

portions of other restaurants also on Ocean Drive Miami Beach Florida while knowing that the

lease attached to the restaurant was going to be terminated immediately after the sale. (see

Affidavit of Bill Manrique paragraphs 4 and 5 attached hereto as Exhibit “G”) Manrique’s

Affidavit goes on to discuss how Defendant Thilloy knowingly defrauded Plaintiff Lemoine at

the Lord Balfour Hotel by using an old lease he had modified in order to ensure the sale

occurred. (see Exhibit “G”). Lastly, Manriques’ Affidavit explains how Thilloy has continued,

after defrauding Plaintiffs, to defraud foreigners looking to purchase restaurants through the

same scheme of selling 50% of a demised restaurant every time in a restaurant called the Rock

Hostel. See Id.

Further acknowledging the clear fraud committed by Defendant Thilloy and the damages

he directly caused Plaintiffs due to his material misrepresentation and omissions regarding his

investment in VM Beach Group Inc. Mr. Gary S. Glasser, Esq., Defendant Mahesh Harjani’s

Attorney, explicitly stated on the record to the Plaintiff, “I don’t think anybody here does not feel

badly for you that Vincent Thilloy ripped you off, okay.” [Continued Deposition of Plaintiff

taken on November 16, 2018 filed as Exhibit “A” within Defendants’ Notice of Filing Evidence

in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary Judgment, at 51:19-23]. Mr. Glasser

continued to say that “it’s funny, because at the beginning of the deposition, people were talking

about the alleged fake lease. I mean, come on. We’re not sitting here saying you didn’t get ripped

off.” [Continued Deposition of Plaintiff taken on November 16, 2018 filed as Exhibit “A” within

Defendants’ Notice of Filing Evidence in Support of Defendants’ Motion for Final Summary

Judgment at 51:19-23, at 51; 24-25; 52;1-3].

Finally, in early 2017, after Plaintiff became a 50% shareholder in VM Beach Group Inc.,

and after a Shareholder Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement had already been entered into

by the Parties, Defendant Thilloy started investing in other restaurants in Miami, which is a clear

and direct violation of the Non-Compete Sections of the Stock Purchase Agreement as well as

the Shareholder Agreements. [See Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and

Shareholder Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, respectively; Complaint ¶ 52;

[Deposition of Thilloy, at 110:11-111:1-7; 140:3-141: 2-6 filed as Exhibit “A” within Plaintiffs’

Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Response in Opposition to

Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion for Leave to Amend].

Thilloy does not deny investing in other restaurants after the subject transaction and while still a

shareholder of VM Beach Group Inc., which was in direct violation the Shareholder Non-

competition clause of the Shareholder Agreement. [Deposition of Thilloy, at 54:5-25, 55, 56:1-8

filed as Exhibit “A” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’

Response in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion

for Leave to Amend]. Mr. Thilloy goes on to testify that he did not require an attorney for the

transaction because he knew how to read contracts. Id.

Q: I would like to now just go back to the restaurants that you mentioned earlier. When
you invested in those restaurants, specifically the Rock Hostel, you invested into that
restaurant while still a 50 percent shareholder of VM Beach Group, Correct?
A: Correct.

Q: What was you position with your other investment at Rock Hostel?
A: My position? I was running the business.
Q: So, were you the Chef?
A: Chef, owner.
Q: And how often were you there?
A: Every day.

(See Deposition of Thilloy, at 54:5-25; 111:4-13)

Additionally, Defendant Thilloy further breached the Shareholder Agreement when he

failed as president and partial owner of Chef Vincent Restaurant, to pay Restaurant employees,

and when he began making random unapproved payments from VM Beach Group, Inc’s

operating account. [Deposition of Thilloy, at 147:12-148:23 filed as Exhibit “A” within

Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Response in Opposition to

Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion for Leave to Amend].

Eventually, Defendant Thilloy abandoned VM Beach group Inc. and Plaintiff Lemoine was

forced to take over full operation of the Restaurant as of late May 2017 due to Defendant

Thilloy’s complete absence from the Restaurant and lack of transparency regarding all business

matters. [Complaint ¶ 54; Deposition Transcript of Thilloy, at 111:1-7; 140:3-25 filed as Exhibit

“A” within Plaintiffs’ Notice of Filing Record Evidence in Support of Plaintiffs’ Response in

Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and Incorporated Motion for Leave to

Amend]. Due to the fact that Plaintiff were directly induced by Defendant Vincent Thilloy into

unknowingly investing the majority of Lemoines money into a business that would be forced to

vacate the subject property at any given time, Lemoine has lost his entire investment, and

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928

continues to suffer monetary damages and issues relating to his and his family’s immigration

status. [Complaint ¶ 58; Deposition Transcript of Plaintiff, at 408:2-409:15].

LEGAL STANDARD

Under Florida law, “the moving party is entitled to summary judgment if the pleadings,

depositions, answers to interrogatories, admissions, affidavits, and other materials as would be

admissible in evidence show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the

moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.510(c); see Florida

Bar v. Greene, 926 So.2d 1195, 1200 (Fla. 2006). A material fact is one essential to the result

that is placed in controversy by the pleadings and affidavits. Wells v. Wilkerson, 391 So. 2d 266

(Fla. 4th DCA 1958). To withstand a motion for summary judgment, it is insufficient for the

opposing party merely to assert that a disputed issue of material fact exists. See Slachter v.

Abundio Investment Co., 566 So.2d 348 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1990). Once a movant tenders competent

evidence to support his motion, the non-moving party must come forward with such substantial,

competent counter-evidence and demonstrate the existence of a genuine issue of material fact.

Landers v. Milton, 370 So. 2d 368, 368 (Fla. 1979). As the record evidence shows that there is no

genuine issue of material, and as stated in more detail below, this Court should grant the instant

motion.

DISCUSSION

I. COUNT I – DEFENDANT BREACHED THE STOCK PURCHASE


AGREEMENT, AND THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE ENTITLED TO
SUMMARY JUDGEMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement. To state a

claim for breach of contract under Florida law, a plaintiff must allege: “(1) the existence of a

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
12
contract; (2) a material breach of that contract; and (3) damages resulting from the breach.” Vega

v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., 564 F.3d 1256, 1272 (11th Cir. 2009) (citing Friedman v. N.Y. Life Ins.

Co., 985 So. 2d 56, 58 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008)). “A breach is material if it goes ‘to the essence of

the contract.’” Modern Gaming, Inc. v. Malone, 2010 WL 724434, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 24,

2010) (quoting Covelli Family, L.P. v. ABG5, L.L.C., 977 So. 2d 749, 752 (Fla. 4th DCA

2008)).

In this case, Defendant Thilloy materially breached the Stock Purchase Agreement,

causing the Plaintiffs to suffer damages, thereby entitling them to summary judgement as a

matter of law. Unlike Vega, where the court held that the plaintiffs neither pled a claim for

breach of contract nor identified a contract or agreement that Defendant purportedly breached; it

is evident from the Complaint, various depositions and attached exhibits that Lemoine and

Defendant Thilloy entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on October 1, 2016. 564 F.3d at

1272. More specifically, the Stock Purchase Agreement entitled Lemoine to fifty percent (50%)

of shares of common stock of VM Beach Group, Inc., for the purchase price of five hundred and

sixty thousand dollars ($560,000), as consideration for the Agreement.

Defendant Thilloy clearly failed to fulfill his obligations pursuant to the Stock Purchase

Agreement, and the record is complete with sufficient evidence of Defendant Thilloy’s multiple

material breaches that go to the essence of the Agreement. Defendant Thilloy unambiguously

breached the Stock Purchase Agreement, by failing to comply with the provision dealing with

Real Property, which states that the “…Lease is in full force and effect, and the Corporation

and/or Seller has fully performed all of its obligations to be performed to date under such Lease.”

(See Section 3.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as “Exhibit C”). The breach is

material because Plaintiffs executed the Stock Purchase Agreement solely based on the

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
13
information provided by Defendant Thilloy regarding the 10-year plus 5-year extension

Restaurant Lease which did not actually exist. Specifically, Defendant Thilloy’s representations

and warranties were false and purposefully misleading as the Stock Purchase Agreement even

makes mention to the requirement of a valid Commercial Lease, which in actuality is and always

was fraudulent and invalid. (See Section 7.1 & 7.2 of the Stock Purchase Agreement attached

hereto as “Exhibit C”).

As a direct and proximate result of the aforementioned actions as well as the material

misrepresentations of Defendant Thilloy, Lemoine has suffered monetary damages in excess of

the original $560,000 he invested into VM Beach Group, Inc. and will continue to suffer

damages as a direct result of Defendant Thilloy’s willful and malicious conduct and breach of

the Stock Purchase Agreement. Therefore, Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a

matter of law as there is no genuine issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the

Stock Purchase Agreement and are entitled to attorney’s fees and costs in addition to any

monetary judgment pursuant to the Agreement.

II. COUNT II – DEFENDANT BREACHED THE IMPLIED COVENANT OF GOOD


FAITH AND FAIR DEALING UNDER THE STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT,
AND THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE ENTITLED TO SUMMARY
JUDGEMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW.

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and

Fair Dealing under the Stock Purchase Agreement. “Under Florida law, every contract contains

an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.” Centurion Air Cargo, Inc. v. United Parcel

Serv. Co., 420 F.3d 1146, 1151 (11th Cir. 2005); see also County of Brevard v. Miorelli Eng’g,

Inc., 703 So. 2d 1049, 1050 (Fla. 1997). Nonetheless, a breach of the implied covenant “is not an

independent cause of action, but attaches to the performance of a specific contractual


Weinkle Abergel Law Group
605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
14
obligation.” Id.; see also Burger King Corp. v. Weaver, 169 F.3d 1310, 1316 (11th Cir. 1999)

(“[A]n action for breach of the implied covenant of good faith cannot be maintained [under

Florida law] in the absence of breach of an express contract provision.”). “To allege a breach of

the implied covenant, the party must demonstrate a failure or refusal to discharge contractual

responsibilities, prompted not by an honest mistake, bad judgment or negligence; but, rather by a

conscious and deliberate act, which unfairly frustrates the agreed common purpose and

disappoints the reasonable expectations of the other party thereby depriving that party of the

benefits of the agreement.” Shibata v. Lim, 133 F. Supp. 2d 1311, 1319 (M.D. Fla. 2000)

(quoting Cox v. CSX Intermodal, Inc., 732 So. 2d 1092, 1097–98 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999)).

In the matter at hand, Defendant Thilloy, as partner and President of VM Beach Group Inc.,

had an obligation to act in the best interest of the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement

entered into between the parties. Unlike the plaintiff in Shibata, where the plaintiff alleged that

defendant’s breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by falsely

characterizing the money transaction as an investment in order to avoid repayment on the loan,

Defendant Thilloy directly violated his duty to act in good faith and fairly under this Stock

Purchase Agreement when he intentionally and wrongfully concealed, suppressed,

misrepresented, and omitted material facts relating to the invalid Long term Commercial Lease,

unfairly frustrating the Stock Purchase Agreement’s purposes and misrepresented information,

on which Plaintiff Lemoine detrimentally relied upon in his decision to sign the Stock Purchase

Agreement. 133 F. Supp. 2d at 1321. Moreover, Defendant Thilloy was responsible for running

the day-to-day operations of the business, which he abandoned while still maintaining an

ownership interest in VM Beach Group Inc. Rather than fulfilling his obligations to VM Beach

Group, Inc., in early 2017 pursuant to the agreement, Defendant Thilloy began investing in other

15
restaurants in Miami, directly violating the Stock Purchase Agreement, which states that “Seller

will not directly or indirectly engage in or become interested in a similar business or any

business … or in any other way compete with the Corporation without the informed written

consent of Buyer.” (See Stock Purchase Agreement, Section 3.11 “Covenant Not to Compete”

attached hereto as “Exhibit C”). In this case, Defendant Thilloy failed to provide informed

written consent to the Plaintiffs, regarding the similar businesses Defendant Thilloy was

engaging in as it relates to the Rock Hostel restaurant and the Miami South Beach Charter

companies. Defendant Thilloy failed to use his best efforts to conduct business on behalf of the

corporation in accordance with sound business practices, in a lawful manner, and to preserve the

corporation.

Q: I would like to now just go back to the restaurants that you mentioned earlier. When
you invested in those restaurants, specifically the Rock Hostel, you invested into that
restaurant while still a 50 percent shareholder of VM Beach Group, Correct?
A: Correct.

Q: What was you position with your other investment at Rock Hostel?
A: My position? I was running the business.
Q: So, were you the Chef?
A: Chef, owner.
Q: And how often were you there?
A: Every day.

(See Deposition of Thilloy, at 54:5-25; 111:4-13)

Defendant Thilloy’s multiple breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement, deprived Lemoine

of the Stock Purchase Agreement's benefits and ultimately led to the complete loss of Lemoine’s

investment and the closing of the Restaurant. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant

Thilloy’s willful, conscious and deliberate acts, including but not limited to Defendant Thilloy’s

breaches of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Lemoine suffered and continues to suffer damages.

Therefore, Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and

Fair Dealing under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

III. COUNT IV – THERE IS NO GENUINE ISSUE OF MATERIAL FACT


REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ FRAUD IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AND THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE
ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGEMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW.

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s Fraud in the Performance of the Stock Purchase

Agreement. In Florida, the essential elements of fraud are: (1) a false statement of fact; (2)

known by the person making the statement to be false at the time it was made; (3) made for the

purpose of inducing another to act in reliance thereon; (4) action by the other person in reliance

on the correctness of the statement; and (5) resulting damage to the other person. Mettler, Inc. v.

Ellen Tracy, Inc., 648 So.2d 253 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). Although the general rule of law in

Florida is that the fraud alleged must refer to a present or existing fact, cases have recognized an

exception “where the promise to perform a material matter in the future is made without any

intention of performing or is made with the positive intention not to perform.” Perry v.

Cosgrove, 464 So.2d 664, 666 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985).

Plaintiffs Complaint alleges all of the elements to successfully support a claim of Fraud

in the Performance of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the record is full of evidence

that Defendant Thilloy willfully and knowingly made false statements regarding material facts

regarding the existence of a valid long-term Commercial Lease, in order to induce Plaintiffs to

invest in VM Beach Group, Inc. At the time of Plaintiffs investment, Plaintiffs were justified in

relying on Defendant Thilloy’s representations, because Defendant Thilloy, executed a notarized

Sellers Affidavit, which specifically stated that the Restaurant Lease was in good standing and

that all the information Seller furnished to Buyer concerning the Corporation and its Business
Weinkle Abergel Law Group
605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
17
was true and correct, and a fair and accurate representations of the Business. (See paragraph 8 of

Seller’s Affidavit attached hereto as “Exhibit B”). The Hotel manager’s testimony as well as

various Affidavits clearly point out that the information pertaining to the Lease was falsified by

Defendant Thilloy. Moreover, at the time Defendant Thilloy made the false representation to

Plaintiffs regarding the subject lease, Defendant Thilloy had no intentions of taking the action

required to rectify the false promises outlined above as the relationship between the Hotel and

Vincent Thilloy was always to be a month-to-month tenancy (See Adnan Jafarov’s testimony).

Defendant Thilloy intended that his misrepresentations would induce Plaintiffs to rely and act

upon them, which Plaintiff did by purchasing 50% of Defendant Thilloy’s Company and entering

into the Stock Purchase Agreement. It was essential to Defendant Thilloy’s scheme that Lemoine

believe he had a valid executed Commercial Lease in place, which ultimately induced Lemoine

to sign a binding Stock Purchase Agreement. As a direct and proximate result of Plainitffs’

justiciable and detrimental reliance on the false representations of Defendant Thilloy, Lemoine

has suffered monetary damages in excess of the original $560,000 he invested into VM Beach

Group, Inc. and will continue to suffer damages as a direct result of Defendant Thilloy’s willful

and malicious conduct and breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Therefore, Plaintiffs are

entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine issue of material fact

relating to Defendant’s breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement and are entitled to attorney’s

fees and costs in addition to any monetary judgment pursuant to the Agreement.

IV. COUNT V – DEFENDANT BREACHED THE SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT,


AND THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE ENTITLED TO SUMMARY
JUDGEMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the Shareholder Agreement. To state a

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
18
claim for breach of contract under Florida law, a plaintiff must allege: “(1) the existence of a

contract; (2) a material breach of that contract; and (3) damages resulting from the breach.”

Vega, 564 F.3d at 1272. “A breach is material if it goes ‘to the essence of the contract.’” Modern

Gaming, Inc, 2010 WL 724434, at *2 (quoting Covelli Family, 977 So. 2d at 752).

In this case Lemoine, through his company US Force One, LLC, entered into a

Shareholder Agreement with Defendant Thilloy, to purchase ten (10) of the twenty (20) available

shares of common stock in VM Beach Group, Inc. (See Shareholder Agreement attached hereto

as “Exhibit H”). Similar to Modern Gaming, Inc., where the plaintiff sufficiently alleged a

“material breach,” i.e., that defendant’s clearly failed to fulfill their obligations pursuant to the

Agreements; Defendant Thilloy had an obligation in the matter at hand as a majority shareholder

to act in the best interest of the Company, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, in which he

failed to maintain. 2010 WL 724434, at *3. Defendant Thilloy materially breached the

Shareholder Agreement when he failed to use his best efforts to conduct business on behalf of

the corporation in accordance with sound business practices, in a lawful manner, and to endeavor

and preserve the corporation. Specifically, during early 2017, Defendant Thilloy started investing

in other restaurants in Miami, directly violating of the Shareholder Agreement’s

Noncompetition, Trade Secrets Section, which states, “Each Shareholder agrees that as long as

he or she is the owner, or in control of, any of the Incorporation’s shares, the Shareholder will

not be employed, concerned, or financially interested, either directly or indirectly, in the same or

a similar business as that conducted by the Incorporation, or compete with the Incorporation.”

(See Shareholder Agreement, Section 10 “Noncompetition, Trade Secrets” attached hereto as

“Exhibit H”). Defendant Thilloy was concerned and financially interested in the same or similar

business to VM Beach Group and Defendant Thilloy opened up a new restaurant in competition

605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
19
to the subject Restaurant which he had an obligation to manage with Plaintiffs. Defendant

Thilloy’s action and inaction are a material breach of the Shareholder Agreement, as the

Plaintiffs relied on Defendant Thilloy’s restaurant expertise to be able to maintain and grow a

successfully business. As a direct and proximate result of the aforementioned actions as well as

the material misrepresentations of Defendant Thilloy, Lemoine has suffered monetary damages

in excess of the original $560,000 he invested into VM Beach Group, Inc. and will continue to

suffer damages as a direct result of Defendant Thilloy’s willful and malicious conduct and

breach of the Shareholder Agreement .Therefore, Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as

a matter of law as there is no genuine issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the

Shareholder Agreement and are entitled to attorney’s fees and costs in addition to any monetary

judgment pursuant to the Agreement.

V. COUNT VI – DEFENDANT BREACHED THE IMPLIED COVENANT OF GOOD


FAITH AND FAIR DEALING UNDER THE SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT,
AND THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE ENTITLED TO SUMMARY
JUDGEMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW.

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and

Fair Dealing under the Shareholder Agreement. “Under Florida law, every contract contains an

implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.” Centurion Air Cargo, Inc., 420 F.3d at 1151;

see also County of Brevard, 703 So. 2d at 1050. Nonetheless, a breach of the implied covenant

“is not an independent cause of action, but attaches to the performance of a specific contractual

obligation.” Id.; see also Burger King Corp., 169 F.3d at 1316 (“[A]n action for breach of the

implied covenant of good faith cannot be maintained [under Florida law] in the absence of

breach of an express contract provision.”). “To allege a breach of the implied covenant, the party

must demonstrate a failure or refusal to discharge contractual responsibilities, prompted not by


Weinkle Abergel Law Group
605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
20
an honest mistake, bad judgment or negligence; but, rather by a conscious and deliberate act,

which unfairly frustrates the agreed common purpose and disappoints the reasonable

expectations of the other party thereby depriving that party of the benefits of the agreement.”

Shibata, 133 F. Supp. 2d at (quoting Cox, 732 So. 2d at 1097–98.

In this case, Defendant Thilloy violated the implied duty to act in good faith and fair dealing

under this Shareholder Agreement when Defendant Thilloy took actions to benefit his own

personal interest and personal monetary gain over the best interest of VM Beach Group Inc.

During the time that Defendant Thilloy owned a majority of Corporation’s shares he abandoned

his duties to the restaurant by disappearing for long periods of time, not paying Company

employees the monies they rightfully deserved and by allocating funds from VM Beach Group,

Inc. to other businesses he had going on at the same time. Thilloy furthermore breached the

implied duty to act in good faith and fair dealing under the Shareholder Agreement when Thilloy

took materials from the restaurant Chef Vincent restaurant at the Lord Balfour Hotel in order to

supply his other business the Miami South Beach Charter, such as the hotel liquor license and

vendor accounts.

Q: Is the document in your hands the liquor license for VM Beach Group and Lord
Balfour Hotel?
A: Correct.
Q: This is the liquor license that was used for the operation of Chef Vincent Restaurant,
correct?
A: Correct

Q: ... you were operating other restaurants at the same time or investing in other
restaurants at the same time as you were investing in VM beach Group Inc, correct?
A: Yes
Q: And for those other operations, including the yacht charter company---what was that
called?
A: Miami South Beach Charter.
Q: Did you acquire a separate liquor license for that?
A: No. I don’t have to.
Weinkle Abergel Law Group
605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
21

Q: Did you ever use a dealer by the name Jethro?
A: Yes.
Q: And for those bottles, did you order directly from them for both VM Beach Group and
for Miami South Beach Charters?
A: Yes. I have a separate card

Q: so can you explain these memos then?
A: I have no clue. Maybe I mixed up the account once.

While they are passing that around, did my client, Laurent Lemoine, ever have access or
part of Miami South Charters?
A: No.
Q: Was that wholly owned and operated by you?
A: Correct.
Q: So all orders for that alcohol would have been through you correct?
A: Correct.

(See Deposition of Thilloy, at 34:5-12; 35:9-21; 37:17-24; 41:20-24; 42:11-20:)

Defendant Thilloy’s allocation of the business resources to competing business and outside

venture clearly are in breach of the Shareholder Agreement and deprived Plaintiff Lemoine of

the Shareholder Agreement's benefits. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant Thilloy’s

willful, conscious and deliberate acts, including but not limited to Defendant Thilloy’s breaches

of the Shareholder Agreement, Lemoine suffered and continues to suffer damages. Therefore,

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine issue of

material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair

Dealing under the Shareholder Agreement.

VI. COUNT VII - THERE IS NO GENUINE ISSUE OF MATERIAL FACT


REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY UNDER THE
SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT, AND THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE
ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGEMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW.

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s breach of Fiduciary Duty under the Stock Purchase
Weinkle Abergel Law Group
605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
22
Agreement. To state a claim for breach of fiduciary duty under Florida law, Plaintiffs must show:

(1) the existence of a fiduciary duty; (2) a breach of that duty; and (3) damages incurred as a

result of the breach. See Gracey v. Eaker, 837 So. 2d 348, 353 (Fla. 2002). Fiduciary

relationships implied in law are premised upon the specific factual situation surrounding the

transaction and the relationship of the parties. Courts have found a fiduciary relationship implied

in law “when confidence is reposed by one party and a trust accepted by the other.” Capital Bank

v. MVB, Inc., 644 So. 2d 515, 518 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994) (citations omitted). To establish a general

fiduciary relationship, “a party must allege some degree of dependency on one side and some

degree of undertaking on the other side to advise, counsel, and protect the weaker party.”

Watkins v. NCNB Nat’l Bank of Fla., N.A., 622 So. 2d 1063, 1065 (Fla. 3d DCA 1993). A

fiduciary relationship must be established by competent evidence, and the burden of proving

such a relationship is on the party asserting it. Kislak v. Kreedian, 95 So. 2d 510, 514-15 (Fla.

1957). As a matter of law, no fiduciary relationship will generally be found to exist where a

contract clearly and unambiguously disclaims the possibility of a fiduciary relationship. See SFM

Holdings, Ltd. v. Banc of Am. Sec., LLC, 2007 WL 7124464, at *7 (S.D. Fla. Feb. 12, 2007)

(finding the defendant was not a fiduciary to the plaintiff where the prime brokerage agreement

entered into by both parties expressly stated the defendant “was not acting as a fiduciary”).

Here, Defendant Thilloy as a majority owner of the Corporation’s shares, had a fiduciary

duty to Lemoine to use his best efforts to conduct business on behalf of the Corporation in

accordance with sound business practices, in a lawful manner, and to endeavor and preserve the

Corporation as a corporate director and president of VM Beach Group, Inc. Defendant Thilloy

knew that Lemoine was placing his trust and confidence in him and that Lemoine was relying on

Thilloy’s representations to protect his interest in VM Beach Group, Inc. Defendant Thilloy

Weinkle Abergel Law Group


605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
23
established a fiduciary relationship not only based on the terms of the Shareholder Agreement,

but implied in law based upon the specific factual circumstances herein surrounding the business

relationship between Lemoine and the personal assurances of Defendant Thilloy regarding VM

Beach Group, Inc. Lemoine was justified in placing his trust and confidence in Defendant

Thilloy. Specifically, Defendant Thilloy presented Lemoine with an executed ten-year plus five-

year option Commercial Lease Agreement, a Stock Purchase Agreement, a Bill of Sale as well as

represented himself as an honorable and reputable business man, who was capable of running the

Restaurant on behalf of the Business.

Defendant Thilloy breached his fiduciary duty by taking unfair advantage and not acting

in the best interest of VM Beach Group, Inc. Specifically when Defendant Thilloy began

investing in other restaurants in Miami, directly violating the Shareholder Agreement. Moreover,

Defendant Thilloy breached the Shareholder Agreement when he failed to disclose issues

relating his consistent unavailability as president and partial owner of Chef Vincent Restaurant,

random payments made from VM Beach Group, Inc’s operating account, and his blatant

misrepresentation that a Commercial Lease existed between VM Beach Group, Inc. and the

Hotel. As a direct and proximate result of the aforementioned actions as well as the material

misrepresentations of Defendant Thilloy, Lemoine has suffered monetary damages in excess of

the original $560,000 he invested into VM Beach Group, Inc. and will continue to suffer

damages as a direct result of Defendant Thilloy’s breach of his Fiduciary Duty under the Stock

Purchase Agreement. Therefore, Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law

as there is no genuine issue of material fact relating to Defendant Thilloy’s breach of his

Fiduciary Duty under the Stock Purchase Agreement and are entitled to attorney’s fees and costs

in addition to any monetary judgment pursuant to the Agreement.

VII. COUNT XII – THERE IS NO GENUINE ISSUE OF MATERIAL FACT
REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ FRAUD IN THE INDUCEMENT, AND
THEREFORE PLAINTIFFS ARE ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGEMENT AS
A MATTER OF LAW.

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine

issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s Fraud in the Inducement. To state a claim for

fraudulent inducement pursuant to Florida law, Plaintiffs must allege four elements: “(1) a false

statement regarding a material fact; (2) the statement maker’s knowledge that the representation

is false; (3) intent that the representation induces another’s reliance; and (4) consequent injury to

the party acting in reliance.” Thompkins v. Lil’ Joe Records, Inc., 476 F.3d 1294, 1315 (11th Cir.

2007) (citations omitted); see also Butler v. Yusem, 44 So. 3d 102, 105 (Fla. 2010) (clarifying

that “[j]ustifiable reliance is not a necessary element of fraudulent misrepresentation”). See also

Wadlington v. Cont’l Med. Servs., Inc., 907 So.2d 631, 632 (2005); Biscayne Inv. Group, Ltd. v.

Guarantee Mgmt. Servs., Inc., 903 So.2d 251, 255 (2005).

Plaintiffs have adequately pleaded sufficient facts to support their claims that Plaintiffs

were fraudulently induced into signing the Stock Purchase Agreement as well as the Shareholder

Agreement; consequently, the Defendant failed to present any evidence giving rise to a genuine

issue of material fact, and therefore Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgment. Specifically,

Defendant Thilloy, made material misrepresentations to Plaintiffs regarding the invalid long-

term lease which was material to Lemoine’s investment. Defendant Thilloy intentionally

deceived and made material misrepresentations to Lemoine regarding a long-term lease

agreement between the Hotel and VM Beach Group, Inc. that were false. According to the

record, the landlord Hotel never had any intentions of implementing a ten-year plus five-year

option Restaurant Lease Agreement and never had a valid lease agreement with VM Beach

Group, Inc. (See Adnan Jafarov Testimony and Exhibit “D”). At the time Defendant Thilloy
Weinkle Abergel Law Group
605 Lincoln Rd Suite 250, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-330-6928
25
made these misrepresentations to Plaintiffs, he knew the representations were false, and had no

intentions of taking any actions required to rectify the false representations regarding the invalid

long-term commercial lease. Thilloy even went to the extent of falsely reassuring Plaintiffs and

further inducing Plaintiffs by executing a Seller’s Affidavit at Closing stating that the lease was

valid and that the Affidavit “is given with full knowledge of the criminal penalties for knowingly

or willfully making or causing to be made or delivered a statement of which any portion is false,

and to induce Buyer to purchase the Business.” (See Sellers Affidavit Paragraph 9) Moreover,

Defendant Thilloy knew that the lease and agreements were pivotal to the transaction, because

without a long-term commercial lease, the intended business plan of the partners was not

possible. Nonetheless, the Defendant Thilloy knowingly presented the fraudulent documents to

Lemoine, in an attempt to induce Plaintiffs to invest into VM Beach Group, Inc. and did so with

a complete and utter disregard for the law, let alone Plaintiffs well-being. As a direct and

proximal result of Defendant, Thilloy’s misrepresentations which Lemoine relied upon, Lemoine

suffered and continues to suffer said damages. Therefore, Plaintiffs are entitled to summary

judgement as a matter of law as there is no genuine issue of material fact relating to Defendant’s

Fraud in the Inducement.

CONCLUSION

There are no issues of material fact as to the blatant fraud conducted by Defendant,

Vincent Thilloy, onto Laurent Lemoine and his Company U.S. Force One, LLC and therefore

Plaintiffs are entitled to summary judgement as a matter of law. Furthermore, Plaintiffs are

entitled to recover their costs and reasonable attorney’s fees expended pursuant to the Stock

Purchase Agreement and the Shareholder Agreement. This Motion for Summary Judgment,

along with the attached exhibits thereto, are filed with the Court to provide the record evidence to

support the entry of summary judgment against Defendant Vincent Thilloy. Defendant has not

put forth any evidence which controverts the above undisputed material facts. Accordingly, as

such, Plaintiffs are entitled to the relief sought herein. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, LAURENT

LEMOINE, an individual, and US FORCE ONE, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company,

respectfully request that the Court grant summary judgment in its favor, award Plaintiffs its

attorney’s fees and costs, and grant such further relief as the Court deems proper.
