  2. It may be a good idea to explore the antics of Kroetch. We have no idea how many clever deals he created. As an attorney and broker, he has a higher fiduciary responsibility. Is it possible that his insurance can offer some relief to investors? He is making money and deals at Medallion/Geneva. Are there any investors involved in both BarK and Medallion who might be able to give insight?

  4. Jim Kortech is involved in another real estate
    loan disaster which is headquarted in Orinda CA.
    It was called the Geneva Fund.

    The fund was administered by one Carl Miller
    who was a crook who has filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Oakland in an attempt to avoid
    civil fraud charges. Case # 4-10bk70580.
    Intrestingly, Miller last "job" before starting
    Geneva was with RE Loans.

    The fund is now serviced by one of it major
    investors Bob Fiole under the title of the
    the Phenoix Fund, 1 Northwood Dr. Suite 1, Orinda CA. Kortech is doing the foreclosures
    and other legal action to try and salavage
    this fund for the investors. It is less clear
    what his role, or knowledge was concering Millers scam. When asked about this he became
    hostile.

  5. I think a closer look at Jim Kroetch's antics at Medallion will reveal investigations by the DRE and State Bar. Trustworthy or intimidator

  6. Anonymous,

    As LOUDLY noted here, the BAR-K Investors HAS MOVED to
    http://barkinvestors.wordpress.com/
    and that this forum/blog is for investigation and research re. investments made into and lost to the Bar-K family of funds.

    Your continued postings here serve no purpose and unless the problems with Medallion have a direct effect on the Bar-K family of funds they aren't subject to our interest.

  7. You could relate Jim Kroetch's invovement as Bar-k's attorney when alot of these bad deals were made and doing the oversight of the investments at Medallion. It would be interesting to know if there is a pattern of behavior.

  8. Kroetch cleaned up Bar K's mess in the 1990's and left Bar K before Bar K created their second mess in the 2000's.
    Kroetch caught Miller stealing money and now is cleaning up the Miller (Geneva) mess.

  9. Enough on Kroetch "Anonymous". We know what we need to know about the guy:

    "It noted that Kroetch, after testifying extensively about events at deposition, could not even recall the transaction at trial; the court found he was "obviously lying" and had "zero" credibility."
