According to a report from The Real Deal, FMB Development CEO Ilan Kenig has lost his 7,000 sq. ft. Pacific Palisades property to his lender.
The lender in question, VIG Private Lending, was handed over the home at 1355 Berea Pl. after Kenig signed a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, reported Real Deal. VIG reportedly foreclosed on the property for $627,400.
Real Deal also reported that Kenig purchased the Palisades property for $2.35 million in 2016 before using it as collateral on a $5 million loan from Lone Oak Fund.

Kenig claims the group ripped him off by getting control of his company and yet failing to provide cash which was promised. According to the report, the four partners took stakes in FMB then also began buying out prior lenders and investors.
