Apparently yaniv dropped his claim against the Choo family...
"The restoration company came in and examined his apartment, finding only a tiny spill of water in the closet. The experts at the restoration company argued it could be from a dog bowl or similar, not from a sprinkler system. Yaniv argued that nobody puts a dog bowl in the closet, which is fair, but I suspect Yaniv spilled water, or worse, in his closet to cause damage.
His claim specifically says “the water was not there prior to the ‘fire’ and was there due to the fire in 401”. How could you possibly know this Jon?
His lawsuit went on to accuse the Choo’s of intentionally setting off the sprinkler system as a form of insurance fraud. He claimed he was out of his home because of this, and lost “$200/day for 25 days” in business revenue because of this.

Fast forward two weeks. On Sept 16, lawyers representing the Choo’s insurance company replied to Yaniv’s lawsuit. They denied his entire claim, adding that any damage caused to his own unit were probably his own doing. The lawyers added that Yaniv’s claim for costs should be denied because the amounts were excessive, unreasonable, and constitute substantial betterment. In other words, Yaniv was suing for profit and the lawyers called him on it.
We also heard there was communication between Yaniv and the Choo’s lawyers, in which Yaniv was told they would be coming after him for costs. The Choo’s can prove they had a fire, and they had damages, and they have information from the restoration company, and the lawyers challenged Yaniv to prove a single claim he made.
Yaniv IMMEDIATELY withdrew his lawsuit. Not the next day. Not the next week. He filed his withdrawal on the same day as the Choo’s filed their formal reply – September 16, 2020."
Poor defeated, cash-strapped lying scammer jon. Can almost hear his sobbing whilst reading the "Notice of Withdrawal".
This news has made my day.
