From what I’ve seen, The owner of the property got an court ordered eviction and their was a huge amount of past due rental and other fees well over $100,000.00. The auction was only for the movables, ie furniture, equipment which mostly had very little value. No real property was sold. I understand it the property can be bought for $12,000,000.00 per a local realtor. Any money received from auction on the movables I believe would go to secured contracts like the past due rental to the landlord. Refund of Room deposits would be way down the list and extremely doubtful assets would even be close to the amount owed. If it could be proven the guesthouse owner keep taking deposit money knowing they could not provide a room knowing they would close I suppose fraud could be claimed. Probably hard to prove even in the USA. IMO wishful thinking anybody will get any money back. It’s all long gone.
