Literally anyone could have created this. There are a lot of people in JC who have too much time on their hands and should be out looking for a job.

Given the date on the text message, this looks like it's a week before the city council passed their local ordinance on the matter. And the deadline state-wide for those ordinances was August 21. Which is the sort of government work I could easily see one official asking another:

Nobody is denying that his wife is one of the members in the LLC that bought the commercial space and is the landlord for the dispensary.

Assuming this screenshot is even real, there are a hundred reasons he could have asked those questions, all of which having to do with getting a quick answer for his wife, as a landlord who likely has a lease contingent upon, or a MOU to enter a lease contingent upon, approval of the dispensary.

Feel free to look at the dispensary's license application, which is available on-line, and search for an ownership interest Fulop or his wife have in the dispensary. Spoiler alert - there isn't one.

Hard to find a more objective source than allegations in a plaintiff's complaint, especially those particular allegations that make conclusory characterizations about an e-mail that does not, on its face, prove what the plaintiff is claiming.

I believe plaintiff is claiming that the owners misrepresented their intentions with the space to both the seller and the mortgage company. I don't believe they are solely relying on Fulop's text to prove this.
I'm not too concerned about that aspect so I'm not going to argue it's merit except to point out that you're wrong. It just seems a little reachy after calling it fake.

I think this whole business stinks and they were foolish to push ahead with it.
