Just keepin' it real..... real funny with a bit of ugly....
I think we should all post a pic of ourselves....just to avoid the confusion.....like which one is Dennis? Mr. Bile obviously appreciates his
secretive anonymity....Dennis is a bit more socially flexible and, on occasion, level-headed it seems (the guy in the green shirt looks like he might
be Dennis as his head looks more level)....
Don't believe everything you think....

It really is a shame that people often gravitate toward a business because the owner is an American or a Canadian. They somehow feel safer and more
protected from being cheated and too often, that is not the case. And the people who really know if that person can be trusted are the locals, so it
is well worth speaking enough Spanish to make inquiries. There are all kinds of reasons why some people become ex-pats, and not all of them are
because they love the new country.
I hope there will be a positive outcome for these people.

Bottom line is, no matter who you are dealing
with, at the very least, get some legal protection in the form of a lease before you invest that kind of money into a property that is owned by
someone else.

Problem is, unless you know the locals intimately, getting info out of them is like pulling teeth.
They don't talk about others freely.

Even at that, you're only good for ten years. Then, you're at their mercy, and one can only hope the landlord is the fair and merciful type and you
haven't left him with any bad memories to recollect.
It's like a ten year trip to a casino. No telling how you'll walk away from the joint.

I don't not agree with slander but I do feel that as good people it is our responsibility to protect others from being cheated and bullied. With that
said this is what I know as the facts regarding this park:
The owner Kenny Sewell has a long time history of prescription pill abuse, alcoholism, and rehab visits.
He has extreme mood swings which causes him to be unpredictable. He swings from fun loving to violent.
When he is angry he screams and threatens. He frequently threatens to shoot people. He possesses at least one gun.
He tries to control foreign visitors by claiming his has connections high up in the government/federales.
Not only does he run this park but his has a side business where he resales canadian television boxes services which he scams from the company.
Most of the tenants in the park are elderly and on fixed income.
His park is beautifully maintained, secure, and has a very nice pool.
His offer: He selectively chooses people who can stay in the park. The rules vary on the time of day and whether he is drinking or not.
He requires you to build your own palapa if you stay long term and encourages you to build your own bathroom and set up your own water system.
Kenny supervises all the building and hires all the workers.
The park is approximately four years old so the people who are getting burned now are the ones who built these very nice structures.
He told everyone that a lease would be signed and developed but when it didn't come forth one of the tenants had one made and he become violently
angry.
After building the structure a monthly fee from $300 to $400 per month is collected for rent.
He owes large amounts of money to at least two of the tenants who invested with him in the beginning.
His negativity and threats caused problems with the tenants and they stopped coming to the park. He refused to correspond with them via email or
telephone. With time he "seized" the property due to lack of monthly payments and resold the property himself. He currently has a man in the park
named Frank Schearer who is suppose to be the one buying these palapas. He has a history of entering into real estate agreements in Baja and then
filing law suits if the closing does not happen on time. One elderly couple was his victim and they will never return to Baja because of this event.
Personally I hope Frank screws Kenny. Wouldn't that be justice.
Just in the last 60 days Kenny has pushed around an elderly man who has lived there since the beginning. He has fled his property without his
belongings and claims that Kenny has stolen all his rent receipts in an effort to justify seizing his palapa. This man is in his 80's.
Another couple has had their property seized and sold to Frank even though they had buyers and Kenny would not help in the sale, return their calls,
or emails.
A third was a single woman who not only invested in the park but had built a beautiful palapa. He bullied her until she sold to Frank.
This has all transpired in the last few months.
There is no doubt that building without a firm lease agreement was a mistake that is now biting many in the butt. Everyone agrees with this fact.
However, he should not be allowed to continue this trend with "new meat". Pescadero is a beautiful place and people come there for the tranquility
and beauty. It is frightening sometimes to be in a foreign country and negotiate the buying process and not be able to speak the language or
understand the custom. These are the people that Kenny lures into his park. I say let's stop him. There are some sweet people living there now who
have no other choice but to live there and take what is dished out.
Spread the word!!

Sure looks like slander to me. Trashing Mr. Sewell here, a MX national, might be a crime. People having problems with the way business is
done at Mountain Shadow would be advised to hire a Mexican attorney -- especially if laws are being broken.
Stating that Mr. Sewell has a gun in his possession and threatening to kill people would be serious accusations.
Writing that you hope ''Frank screws Kenny'' might label you as a Troll considering this is your first post.
Show some integrity and identify yourself and let others follow suit.
I believe you're off base making these accusations and the charges sound bogus.

I can only say that all of these things are facts. Everyone in the park will testify to these things happening. My intention was just to let the
public know nothing more.

slander n. oral defamation, in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another which untruth will harm the reputation of the person
defamed.
There are no untruths here.

Could be, but we need a more thorough way of establishing fact from fiction.
It would be a mistake to prejudge an accuser here. We have to rely on news to make decisions for ourselves.
Then we have to do our best to "separate the wheat from the chaff."
That can't be done with blind denial.

Everyone in the park? Only one other person posting here and you're both newbies.
Your ''facts'' are unsubstantiated here. Like Dennis said: details. You've provided nothing but your slant on what's taking place at Mountain
Shadow.
Substantiate your facts or stop your trolling. Nobody here knows you or your background.
Anything else you want to share?
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
