The hits keep coming for the Alexander brothers.
In the case brought by Side Against Tal and Oren Alexander for allegedly defaulting on a loan Side made in 2021, Judge William Orrick in the Northern District of California denied the brothers’ and official partners’ request to compel arbitration to arrange the terms of the loan.
In the same filing, Orrick granted Side’s request for a preliminary injunction preventing the brothers from “dissipating, concealing or devaluing” the loan collateral during litigation, agreeing with Side that their arrest and detention under federal and state charges of sex trafficking are increasing. the risk that the brothers will use the collateral to pay bail or legal fees.
At the same time, Tal, Oren and Oren’s twin brother Alon were dealt a loss in the federal sex trafficking case. In a letter to the court opposing the brothers’ bail, prosecutors disclosed that an FBI raid on Tal’s Manhattan apartment turned up a hard drive containing videos of the brothers engaging in sexual activity, which reflected form the allegations against them.
Prosecutors say the videos show the brothers and other men “physically manipulating the women’s bodies to have sex with them” and that the actions did not appear to be reciprocated by the women, who also appeared intoxicated.
All things considered, it’s another very bad week for the Alexanders.
Side’s lawsuit against Tal and Oren’s official partners in the luxury real estate business stems from a $4.6 million promissory note that Side issued in August 2022. Side claims the brothers committed an “event of default” on the loan by untying their real estate licenses following allegations of sexual abuse. attack that surfaced in June 2024.
The brokerage also claims that Tal and Oren Alexander refused to provide information about the collateral for the loan. Earlier this year, Side filed an amended complaint accusing the brothers of missing a $1.6 million loan payment in late December. Side is seeking more than four million dollars in damages.
The brothers and official partners deny the allegations in Side’s lawsuit, and in an earlier filing accused Side of fabricating the default case by unilaterally dissociating the brothers’ real estate licenses and refusing to reinstate them.
State and federal sex trafficking charges against all three brothers began in December with their dramatic arrest in Miami. Federal prosecutors accuse them of a scheme to systematically drug and rape “dozens” of women dating back to 2010, when Oren and Tal became luxury real estate agents at Douglas Elliman.
But trouble on that front began in March when two women filed a civil lawsuit against Alon and Oren, accusing the brothers of drugging and raping them. Those lawsuits went unnoticed until June The real deal reported about them.
Since then, three more women have filed civil suits against one or more of the three brothers. The Alexanders have denied all allegations.
The three brothers remain in federal custody while the bail process plays out in court. Oren and Alon Alexander were granted bail on state sex trafficking charges, while Tal’s was denied.
The release of Oren and Alon depends on bail decisions in the federal cases. Alon and Tal have not been granted bail on these charges, although Tal has asked the court to reconsider them. No decision has currently been made at the federal level on Oren’s bail, following a scheduling error that prevented Oren from attending a hearing last week.
Tal and Oren Alexander were among the most successful real estate agents in New York and Miami, leveraging their father’s industry connections to build a lucrative rolodex of ultra-weather and celebrity clients. They left Douglas Elliman in 2022 to form Official Partners as a subsidiary of Side. The Ministry of Justice has asked Douglas Elliman for information about Oren and Tal’s time at the brokerage.
Alon Alexander works for his father’s private security company Kent Security.
