Mission Viejo developer Richard C. Boatman, who for years tried to get a 22-acre shopping center project built in the city of Vista, has filed for liquidation.
Boatman's firm, Richard Boatman & Associates, listed debts of nearly $22 million in its petition under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In the petition, filed on Monday in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana, the company said its assets totaled $326,800.
