People v. Bovensiep CA4/1

facts concerning the underlying crimes at issue in this appeal. We present additional

facts concerning the speedy trial and statute of limitation issues in our discussion below.

Ronald Dixon – Count

In 2003, Bovensiep persuaded his pastor, Craig Knudsen, and Steven Zoumaras, a

business acquaintance, to purchase shares in a limited liability company (LLC) for the

purpose of purchasing a condominium located in Hawaii (the 835 property).

Unbeknownst to the partners, Bovensiep listed his brother-in-law, John Oakes, as the

owner telling Oakes that he wanted to use Oakes's good credit. Bovensiep told Oakes,

who was not in on the scheme, that he would put the loan in the LLC's name, removing

Oakes, as soon as Bovensiep refinanced the property. Bovensiep secretly refinanced the

835 property and took out a line of credit of over $114,000, but left Oakes listed as the

owner of the property.

Dixon, who had met Bovensiep through Oakes and his church, bought Zoumaras's

interest in the 835 property for a total of $117,578 in June 2005. On Thanksgiving Day

2009, Dixon learned that the 835 property was being foreclosed.
