Michigan couple in Mexican prison over timeshare fraud charges allegedly ‘encouraged’ others to do the same: report

The Michigan couple, Christy and Paul Akeo, found themselves in a dire situation after being arrested in Cancun and thrown into a foreign maximum security prison on fraud charges. The Palace Company, the resort chain involved in the case, claims that the couple not only committed fraud by disputing legitimate credit card charges but also encouraged others to do the same.

According to reports, the Akeos were accused of defrauding the vacation company while they had a timeshare membership with its resort in Cancun between 2021 and 2022. They disputed 13 charges made on their credit cards, totaling around $117,000. The couple claimed that the resort breached their contract, which guaranteed them preferential rates, and they were not receiving certain benefits as promised.

The Palace Company alleges that the Akeos went against their contract with the resort and even promoted their actions on social media. It is said that Christy boasted on Facebook about how they got out of their contract and offered advice to others on how to dispute charges. The company canceled their membership and benefits when they discovered the alleged fraudulent activities.

The couple’s family attorney, John Manly, defended them by stating that they were lured into the timeshare and were struggling to keep up with the increasing monthly payments demanded by the resort. Despite their efforts to fulfill their obligations, the resort began canceling their reservations, leading to a dispute over the charges on their credit card.

Mexican authorities claim that the arrests were legitimate and had been validated by Interpol. The Akeos have been held without bond since their arrest, and a judge has ruled that there is sufficient cause for the case to proceed to trial.

Christy’s daughter, Lindsey Hull, has spoken out against the demands made by the Palace Company, stating that they are asking for $250,000 and a nondisclosure agreement that does not guarantee the couple’s release. The situation has caused distress and outrage among the Akeo family and their supporters.

The case of the Akeos serves as a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of engaging in fraudulent activities, especially in a foreign country. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold for the Michigan couple in the coming days.
