Luis didn't leave the resort destroyed, it was the storm after that caused most of the destruction. Don't get me wrong - lots of shady stuff with The landowner. If I read and understand the article correctly, each owner was "bought out" so to say. That was my understanding from the info I was given from the GM of The Towers many years ago.
