Founder Mode: Starwood Comes at Tides’ Principals

In November alone, there have been at least 5 actions taken by lenders to go after Tides’ principals Sean Kia & Ryan Andrade personally, according to New York court records reviewed by The Promote. Three of them were taken by Starwood. The lender, which took over Tides on Trinity in a $76M credit bid last month, alleges that Kia & Andrade must cough up at least $7.2M as per their Carry Guaranty. Starwood is alleging a similar situation @ Tides on Chadwick, which it took it over in a $45M credit bid, and alleges that the lads are on the hook for at least $5.4M. And at Tides on 44th in Phoenix, which Starwood took over in a $26M credit bid last month, it says that the Tides principals are on the hook for $5.7M from the Carry Guaranty, on top of a Recourse Guaranty and $800K from an Equity Funding Guaranty 

Follows similar actions taken by Rialto and Acres (which has been shared here). Seems like lenders smell blood and are rushing to get theirs.
