Brentwood multimillionaire A. Bruce Rozet was having a hard time understanding why so many officials in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development were saying such nasty things about him. ...For nearly 20 years, Rozet's firm has done large amounts of business with HUD. But now, the agency was attacking the company, threatening to foreclose on two large substandard housing projects in California and banning the firm from doing new business with HUD for one year in Oklahoma and Washington. "I'm honest. I'm doing the legal thing," Rozet said in an interview, sitting in his new Santa Monica office, well-tanned and just back from Europe. "Suddenly," he added, "we find ourselves on the receiving end of a lot of noise." (excerpt)
