Property Management on the run from FBI

A while back I was going through flight training in Pensacola, and we decided to live in a vacation rental for three months on Perdido Key, FL.  Our monthly payment was $2400 and included $2400 deposit.  When we left, we received a check for $1.98 of our deposit.  All of the items deducted were normal wear and tear items, AND we had listed each item during the walk through which they never signed.  It wreaked of fraud from the beginning.  I wanted to sue but my next duty station was TX and I didn't have the time.  Later in my career, I met a girl that worked for the property management company and she told me that they were on the run from the FBI.  It turns out, they were doing far worse than I thought.  They would collect from the renters, AND they would then tell the owner they needed to repair damages for normal wear and charge them too.  Collecting the money from both sides and pocketing the lot of it.  I've always wondered if they went to Mexico or if they found the inside of prison.
