Re: Our Clients: Butternut Investment Group, LLC Amount Due: $4,500,000.00
CIVIL THEFTNOTICE & DEMAND FOR TREBLE DAMAGES
Dear Mr. Godur:
Our law finn is litigation counsel to Butternut Investment Group, LLC ("Butternut") and its principals, Shoshana and Benjamin Gibli. Our clients have
consulted with us regarding Butternut's loan to DEFGOD LLC ("DEFGOD" or "Borrower") in the principal swn of $1,500,000.00 (the "Loan").
As you are well aware, on December 26, 2024, DEFGOD and Butternut entered into a Joint Venture Agreement ("NA") in connection with the acquisition
and development of real property located at 1555 SE 7th Street, Deerfield Beach, Florida (the "Property"). In addition, youcontemporaneously executed
a Pledge Agreement personally pledging your membership interest in Yes We Build, LLC ("Yes We Build") as security for the Loan.
j
April 7, 2025 Page 3
It has come to our clients' attention that you have materially breached the foregoing agreements,and have otherwise violated applicable Florida law,
resulting in damages to our clients in the amount of$4,500,000.00.
Notice of Default: Breaches of the JVA and Pledge Agreement
The NA explicitly warrants that DEFGOD, at the time of the JVA's execution, was under contract to purchase the Property and that the Property would
be titled in DEFGOD's name. In direct contravention of these representations, the Property was instead deeded to Pinnacle One Equity Fund I LLC, an
entirely separate entity. These actions undermine the central premise of the JVA and materially breach Article II ofthe same.
Additionally, DEFGOD agreed in Article IU of the JVA that, within forty-five (45) days of acquiring the Property, it would obtain a construction loan
from Archwest Capital and immediately transfer the full amount of the first draw, anticipated to be $1,500,00.00, to Butternut. As of the date ofthis letter,
no such repayment has been made, constituting a material breach of Article III and a "Default," pursuant to Section 2 of the Pledge Agreement.
Under the Pledge Agreement, you further warranted that your personally pledged interest in Yes We Build was unencumbered. Contrary to your
representations, and in breach ofyour obligations, you filed a UCC-1 financing statement on March I 0, 2025, in favor ofa completely unrelated third
party, --- lnvestments, LLC, granting it a lienover Yes We Build. Your fraudulent concealment and unauthorized encumbrance of pledged collateral is a
direct violation of your warranty in Section 5(a) and your covenant in Section S(h) ofthe Pledge Agreement not to assign or encumber tl1e pledged
interest.
Furthennore, Sections I and 3 of the Pledge Agreement required you to file a UCC-1 naming Butternut as secured party. No such filing has been made.
Your failure to provide "further assurances" to effectuate the agreement (see Section IO of same) constitutes yet another material breach ofthe Pledge
Agreement.
Criminal Violations
The pattern of misrepresentations, diversions of funds, failure to honor contractual obligations, and your misuse of an elderly couple's investment exceeds
mere civil wrongdoing, and squarely falls within the scope ofcriminal conduct under Florida Statutes, namely:
Section 825. l 03( I )(a), Florida Statutes: You exploited elderly persons with whom you had a business relationship by knowingly obtaining and misusing
the Loan, intending to permanently deprive them ofthe same.
Section 825.103(2), Florida Statutes: The Giblis, both over the age of65 and having known you for less than two years, made a transfer exceeding $10,000
for which they received no equivalent financial value. This creates a statutory presumption ofexploitation.
Section 812.014, et seq., Florida Statutes: Your intentional and unauthorized use of the Loan for purposes unrelated to the JVA constitutes civil theft.
Pursuant to. Section 772.1 1, Florida St.atutes, our clients are entitled to treble (triple) damages, attorneys' fees, and costs.
