SAC 181 Operating-Account Checks Used for Tenant Deposit “Refunds”

Document Overview

Executive Summary

SAC 181 Operating-Account Checks Used for Deposit “Refunds”

This exhibit shows two Synovus checks, each for $1,142.50, drawn on an account styled “SAC 181_OP” (SAC 181’s operating account) at Synovus Bank and listing 8310 Rivers Ave, Suite B, North Charleston, SC 29406—Meridian Residential Group’s office address - as the mailing address, payable separately to James McNeil and Meaghan Poyer as “Deposit Refund” for 181 Gordon St.

The checks are dated August 28, 2025, but Plaintiffs received them in an envelope postmarked September 8, 2025 in Columbia, SC and delivered on September 10, 2025, reinforcing allegations that the deposit return was late under South Carolina law and that earlier “August 28” postmark evidence was falsified.

Because these “refunds” were issued from an operating account rather than a properly titled real-estate trust/escrow account, the exhibit also supports Plaintiffs’ contention that PMIC Tara Bayles and SAC 181 failed to maintain a segregated trust account for tenant security deposits as required by S.C. Code § 40-57-136, highlighting commingling risk and trust-account violations within the broader pattern of retaliatory eviction, falsified documents, and systemic misuse of tenant funds documented here and on the public docket for Charleston SC Court of Common Pleas CP-10-05095.
