Phyllis ZYSKIND, et al., Appellants, v. ELENA KOSS, ETC., Appellee.
Affirmed. Schwartzberg v. Knobloch, 98 So. 3d 173, 181 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012) (“[A] nonresident corporate officer is subject to personal jurisdiction if the officer directed ‘fraud or other intentional misconduct’ at parties in the State of Florida.”) (citation omitted); see Walter Lorenz Surgical, Inc. v. Teague, 721 So. 2d 358, 359 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998) (“The court's sole inquiry and determination [is] whether the tort as alleged occurred in Florida, and not whether the alleged tort actually occurred.”); Amersham Enters., Inc. v. Hakim-Daccach, 333 So. 3d 289, 297 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022) (“Our Supreme Court has previously held that directing a conspiracy and tortious conduct toward Florida satisfies both specific long-arm jurisdiction and the due process concerns implicated in a minimum contacts analysis.”) (citing § 48.193(1)(a)(2), Fla. Stat.); see also NHB Advisors, Inc. v. Czyzyk, 95 So. 3d 444, 448 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) (“[I]f a plaintiff has successfully alleged a cause of action for conspiracy among the defendants to commit tortious acts toward the plaintiff, and if the plaintiff has successfully alleged that any member of that conspiracy committed tortious acts in Florida in furtherance of that conspiracy, then all of the conspirators are subject to the jurisdiction of Florida through its long-arm statute.”).
PER CURIAM.
