Wohali’s luxury golf tables—slated to span a recent annexation west of I‑80—halted at Chapter 11, blowing a $3.3 million PID obligation like a poorly hung copper rail. Coalville City Council had demanded a new sewer line and pump station; the resort answered with bonds that now stare the bank, attorney Matthew Cox, and foreclosure warnings. Judge Peggy Hunt, perched on a Utah bankruptcy bench, dovetailed a $4‑plus million infusion from the foreign creditor bloc, thus staving off the inevitable auction. Meanwhile, local tycoon Doug Bergeron protested, alleging lax lending and secret visas. The foreign consortium still garners the front seat for a buyout, while the land, marred by uneven grading and a landscape that fuses oxidized copper accents with native sandstone, offers a blurry ROI of municipal depreciation versus speculative equity. The resort’s aesthetic—more avant‑garde than upscale—stinks of overcommitment. Bottom line: do not buy; sell; sue the HOA.
