CMTEX LLC

In a previous thread Maher Maso said he only wished he owned this piece 3.5 million dollar piece of property that has been in question on FOL. He was vague about who actually owned the property, but used his post to attack Smith. Well I think Maso might not have been telling the truth in that thread. The propert in question is owned by CMTEX, LLC. Maso lists himself as a Vice President of CMTEX.

I was curious about who CMTEX actually is. Here is what I found. CMTEX is owned by, Storybook Partners, and MAPAX. Well that prompted the obvious. MAPAX is owned by, Eyad Maso, Jane Maso, Maher Maso, Raed Maso, and Riad Maso.

Storybook Partners is owned by Phil Condit and Geda Condit, formerly Geda Maso. It appreas Phil Condit is the former CEO of Boeing who left after a couple of scandals.

What would you bet the CM in CMTEX stands for Condit, and Maso ?

It appears ownership of the propert is pretty clear. What is not clear is why Maso is tap dancing around the ownership ? What does he have to hide ? What is also unclear is exactly what Maso does for a living ? Does he go feed those cattle on that property ? Why would he lie about this ? I know a lot of you support him, so can you tell me why none of this concerns you ? Help me out here................

This is part of Mahers post in the Cattle rancher thread

** Going to leave the tract size, owners, etc. alone. Let’s just say he does not have it right and needs to find a better researcher. I only wish I owned a $3,500,000 piece of the American Dream.

He has also stated that he is a Vice President and shareholder of the company.

You research shows six family members ( ex wife, brothers etc...) that are the owners of the land so I highly doubt his share is over $600,000

Interesting.

What my research shows is he has not been honest. What your post shows is you are naive.

What statement in Maso's post was a lie?

The fact is that he is a shareholder in a company that has a partial interest in a piece of property that files an open use application. I would be more concerned if he owned the piece of property and didn't have an open use exemption, because that would show that he makes bad business decisions and is not good with money.

Is there anyone on here willing to admit that if they owned a similar piece of land that they would be dumb enough to not file for a legal open use application?

I love it. You can tell who Maso's friends and supporters (apologists) are right off, can't you?



Maso has engaged in indirectness and dishonesty. Period.

I still don't understand what you think he is hiding from. He is the partial owner of a company that owns part of a piece of land in Frisco that is undeveloped and has an open use application which allows them to pay very little in taxes, just like almost every other land investor in the state. Sounds like an investigation is needed!

Another parallel to the Pretender in Washington. It's felt like that to me for a while now, but I just wasn't able to identify it. Obfuscation is probably a great word for it all..

The kicker is that his apologists are here claiming that there is nothing illegal about the land issue. Cool. Then why be evasive about it? Have the nuts to say "yes, my family and I own the land (personally or via a LLC or LLP) and thre is nothing illegal about it"

If he's evasive about things that are "non-issues", what else would he not be forthcoming about? does it make anyone question if they can trust Maso or what he says?

Something I'd like to know too, about this property is - is that part of Eldorado zoned for farming anyway?

I agree with Burro.. Maso should just come out and say it..

He owns the land and has the AG exemption on it.. Perfectly legal non issue..

If I was a Maso supporter, knowing this info wouldn't stop me from voting for him..

If I owned a big piece of land like this, I would do the same thing.. so I do not see an issue here..

BTW I am not a Maso supporter..

Zoning directs how a property can/will be developed. For example. Brinkman Ranch has multiple different zoning classifications, but he can continue to use it as a Ranch since its always been a ranch. Same with all of the other large open land areas in Frisco. The property owners can use them as they have historically, but when they get developed the Zoning and Land use plans govern what can be developed there.
