Suspected real estate scam in the USA, ex-goalie Doni's company has 22 lawsuits in Florida court

The company D32, co-owned by former Brazilian national team goalkeeper Doni, is facing 22 civil lawsuits in Florida primarily involving real estate investments.

The company D32, co-founded by Brazilian soccer goalkeeper Doniéber Alexander Marangon, known as Doni, has come under scrutiny due to a series of civil lawsuits filed in Florida, specifically within the Orange County court system. Since 2018, D32 has been involved in 22 legal actions, many centered around breaches of contract related to investments in the American real estate market. Among these disputes, claims have surfaced from investors regarding contractual obligations that D32 allegedly failed to meet, some amounting to as much as $50,000.

One notable lawsuit has been filed by Santos player Willian Souza Arão da Silva, who claims to have lost $200,000 invested in D32. This particular case, along with four others, is currently pending court resolution. The company has seen a variety of outcomes for its lawsuits, with some cases being resolved in favor of plaintiffs, including a case involving two women who signed a $200,000 contract to purchase a home in Dunnellon, located about 136 kilometers from Orlando. These developments raise concerns about the company’s business practices and the potential legal ramifications of its financial dealings.

This situation not only puts Doni in a precarious position as a public figure but also reflects broader issues within the real estate investment landscape in the United States. Investors are often drawn by the opportunities in American property markets, but cases like this highlight the risks associated with such investments, especially when companies face legal challenges. These lawsuits may undermine confidence in D32’s operations and could lead to further scrutiny of real estate investment practices in the region, particularly regarding the obligations companies hold toward their investors and clients.
