Hotel Developer Falor Goes Broke Even With Celebrity Backing

George_ClooneyWhat do George Clooney, Michael Jordan, and Nicky Hilton have in common?

They all were fooled by a condo hotel developer Robert Falor. He professed to be worth a billion but now does not even have a bank account. Huge deals to build condo hotels were floated by Falor who seemed to have all the connections, but at the end of the day all he left was a string of bad debts when the real estate market collapsed.

Robert Falor may just be the poster child of the real estate bubble of the turn of the century.

Today, the king’s realm is nearly bankrupt. In Miami Beach, two hotels in the high-gloss South Beach neighborhood that he planned to market under Ms. Hilton’s name became the haunts of squatters rather than stars and were auctioned in the spring. Another Miami Beach hotel, the Royal Palm, also slipped from his grasp, in 2007 — as did relationships with his partners in that deal, Mr. Peebles and Mr. Gerber.
Former business associates assert in lawsuits that Mr. Falor, 40, pretended to own property that wasn’t his, used business funds for personal toys like luxury cars and a private jet, and otherwise mismanaged his finances. via NYTimes.com.

You cannot have what does not belong to you. so give it all back.

  5. chris falor goes by Chris Peterson, Chris Saylor, Chris Taylor and his email is carwash99@gmail.com

  6. Chris is broke + a loser now. He lost his house and all money. They have no hotels and they are all living like gypsies

  7. If Holly, his ex wife and former dancer, is still in the picture, then Chris is not broke. She is not sleeping with this guy for free.
    That said, we should all hope he can find a good future in a legitimate operation somewhere. If he and Robert had spent as much energy running an above the board operation. As they did scamming and cheating, they would have been setting with Donnie Trump by now.
    I just hope there is enough publicity out there now to keep them from harming any one else, To Sean his newest partner GEEEEEEETT OUT.
