We are unified group of full and part-time buyers of the 'Biospharms' Inc. Christian community, in Los Tambos in the Cayo District of Belize. Since 2010 buyers have come and gone. All came for the same thing buying into the vision that Darin Smith described - an "Acts like Christian community”, affordable, self-sustaining and organic. A small handful has stayed full time. The common denominator was Christian community, and owning our little slice of tropical paradise with Belize sanctioned contracts and documents. Over time each of us has discovered, often through great resistance – that Darin Smith owns the entire 43 acre property personally, “Biospharms Inc.” of Fort Myers, Florida denies any connection, and that Darin Smith never subdivided the land as presented in maps, boundary markings, and laminated plot plans. We also discovered from the Lands Authority and attorneys, that all of our documents were fraudulent. Many over the past 6 years have left with that discovery, despite losing money that was not returned, only to have their homes re-sold.

We were loathe, as Christians to hire attorneys; Mr. Smith counted on this. Having exhausted all other means, WE are now 8 plaintiffs, (so far) suing Mr. Smith as defendant, in the Belize courts to perform, and to prevent further sales in the un-subdivided 'Biospharms' community so that more innocent people are not deceived. If successful, our hope is for refunds to those who lost so much, and a completed subdivision. Those few residents who are happy with the current arrangement should not feel threatened by what we are doing, as it will benefit them as well to be legally recognized. We were all charged a huge premium so that Mr. Smith could do a proper, approved, legal subdivision. This should not be a difficult task. All we ask is that Mr. Smith do things legally as promised and then leave us alone to live our lives peacefully and without the constant gossip, slander, and dividing that has been done to us. We ask you to realize – that there are 2 sides to every story, that we are doing all we can to bring justice and that if history is any indication, all will come out eventually.
