Well, this week, anyway. Disbarred Miami Shores attorney Marie G. Estime-Thompson, who is the subject of this lovely Action Line column today:
Q:On April 27, 2006, I agreed to purchase from a loan broker, First Loan Solution of North Miami Beach, two acres of land supposedly located in Madison County [one county east of Tallahassee, on the Georgia line] for $22,000.According to this profile, for the Dade Community Foundation's Miami Fellows Initiative, Ms. Estime-Thompson is active in the Haitian Lawyers Association and is involved in numerous charitable endeavors focusing on the Haitian community. She is also on the Board of Directors of the Lambi Fund of Haiti. In 2004, the Florida Association of Women Lawyers honored Ms. Estime-Thompson (along with Judy Korchin and Judge Seitz) for their community efforts.That day, I made a down payment of $11,000. Two days later, I decided to buy an additional Madison acre for $11,000 and made a down payment of $6,000.
The remaining balances were paid at the closings with a first check of $11,500 and a second of $5,250. Both checks were dated Nov. 6, 2006, and made out to the Estime-Thompson law firm in North Miami.
Still, no deed has been delivered to me.
Despite all my efforts, I have never been able to talk with Daniel Stephen, the First Loan Solution broker, who is also the company's owner. He has never responded to my e-mails, either.
After a year of this, I went to Mr. Stephen's office April 11 and cancelled the contract. He signed a statement that my refund would be available no later than 30 to 45 days from that date.
I still have no refund. Can Action Line get my money back?
When you first contacted us in July, we called the state Attorney General's office. It said it had no jurisdiction and referred us to the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which oversees land sales.You filed a complaint there, and we contacted Mr. Stephen, the supposed broker, and Marie Estime-Thompson, the lawyer whose firm received your final payments. Stephen promised the DBPR that your refund would arrive in October. Estime-Thompson wasn't certain of her title company's role in the matter and said she would check her records.
We asked the DBPR why these would be considered acceptable responses. Its spokesmen couldn't confirm or deny the existence of the case (thank you, state law)! They did concede, however, that the agency doesn't have much enforcement power (your tax dollars at work).
By Nov. 1, First Loan Solution's website had evaporated, its voice mailbox had filled up and its corporate registration with the state had become inactive. In addition, the Florida Bar had begun investigating several complaints against Estime-Thompson similar to yours. On Oct. 18, she had been disbarred from practicing law on consent -- meaning she asked the Bar to disbar her. Her wish was granted, which meant that the Bar's investigation stopped in its tracks.
Mmm.
Seems to be a disconnect here. Anyone know more about this story?

"Worst Title Ever"
please do your investigation before defaming someone's name. Because of this Daniel Stephan and company many people were affected by their dishonesty and theivery. She is also a victim in this and has to pay the consequences of other people actions stealing her identity
i feel bad for this lady she is a nice women who worked hard in the community and treated people with the respect needed. she built her law firm and rumors of her association with dishonesty people made her pay the price and lose everything her and her family worked for. WE NEED TO FIND THE REAL PEOPLE WHO IS BEHIND THE LAND MESS
Thanks for the feedback. It's obvious there's more to this story and I appreciate those who have information coming forward and correcting the public record.
By the way,
You may be setting yourself up for a nice little defamation claim with the title "Worse Person in the World."
Although there are clearly defenses, this lady may sue you nonetheless.
Ok, I'm not trying to defame her, it's a play on Olbermann's segment.
Ok, I changed the title, is this one fairer?
Technically she was the owner of the title company, thus it is her responsibility to be aware and culpable for her employees actions and the people that she is choosing to do business with. Dont forget that she did benefit from the actions of the Stephans. Unfortuantely she failed to run her company diligently, and I think every first year law student knows at the end of the line you are responsible for the actions of your empolyees.
Better title.... I didn't see Olbermann's piece...
I too am a victim. I lost over $16000 and other people I know lost money too. A part of this money was made payable to Estime-Thompson, so how could she not be held responsible. It seem impossible that such a seasoned attorney as herself did not know what was going on right in front of her. If she was a victim, then we all were victimized. Not only that I retain the services of an attorney and to date there has been no resolution, so I have been victimized twice. This guy Daniel Stephen and his clonies need to be caught and be odered to pay people their money back, because the money is there somewhere. Hundreds of hard working people were scammed out of millions of dollars, and what were they quilty of, but trying to make a better life for them selves and their families. This is really a shame and the state attorney office needs to investigate this matter immediately. Right now I am not working and need my money. May God save their souls.
Can someone instruct what to do, because I too have lost money in this land scam. I need to know the necessary steps to take to get my money back.
Well, I have met them and had dealings with the Husband and her brother was a mortgage broker and at the time I knew that they shared office space. Marie was very nice to me, but I agree my first thought when I read the story..... she is covering for someone else, like Family or HUSBAND!!!!!!!! The hubby is the one to watch...he was the one who probably did her in... did she resign by consent.... something doesn't smell right about Marie resigning.. could she have been threatened.. as an attorney I have unfortunatley seen the ugly side of it, if she resigned then I am truly sad about that... but my bet and hunch is somebody close to her stole the money ie in her office..

oh now it is the husband we have to lookout out for. the person writing thath piece must be trying to convert the attetention somewhere else and not where the blame really belongs. to the lady who ran that title company and we all know the is was not ms. thompson but a short french women who spoke creole, spanish and french with people and in the end turned out to be a mean greedy women who probably was the master mine or apart of this whole ordeal and was probably personally invovled with the stephen guy.
It is ashamed such a good and productive firm had to close down ofr the greediness of certain people, I have met the Ms. Thompson and her workers at the law office were so nice and friendly with me and handle my case in a professional manner. I never had a problem and all my concerns were taken cared of by the staff. Poor lady, have to be a victim (or somewhat) by the dealings of the title company. The lord has way of exposing all that needs to be exposed and the truth will come to light and whoever it was that made this firm crumble down will pay more then we will truly know and all those innocent hard working people will be blessed with more blessing then they know what to do with. And please if you are a listener of the haitian radio dont believe everything they say, becasue you know our people know how ot over exxaggerate the truth. and put their own little spin on things.
3:45 - please don't bring g-d into this blog - quite unnecessary.
I feel bad for this lady, however
does anyone know what became of her staff? I know that she had two offices. I did have some dealings with her law firm & they were very helpful to me.unfortunately this turn of events left them searching for other employment, so I believe that they too, were victims of what took place at the other office.
a short french women who spoke creole, spanish and french with people and in the end turned out to be a mean greedy women who probably was the master mine or apart of this whole ordeal and was probably personally invovled with the stephen guy. The person decribed above is the ONE AND ONLY PATRICIA L.DEPONS. That woman is the DEVIL, along with her family. And yes God needs to be brought into this so that eyes may be open. That Daniel Stephen guy is nothing but shit on a stick, a sick individual that victimized many people. Ms. Estime-Thompsonis not the worst person ever, she could had beenunder a voodoo spell by that PATRICIA L. DEPONS and DANIEL STEPHEN.
Go is the reason for our being. If we do not bring him into our daily lives who are we going to bring?
God is the reason for our being. If we do not bring Him in who are we going to bring?
well it is ashamed of what is going on with the Thompson family the pain they have to endure and now from a family member. please. i met and know this brenda evans women (so called Family member) and everthing she saud is not true. look into her moral character. and with all thid going in her family she had to put he tstupid two sense in. she wanted the help from her cousin becuase she knew she would eventually profit from the overtown deal and that is the only reason wht she is upset. she is just greedy like the other two people who stole the money fome these innocent people. WHATEVER
People please stop your negative comments until to know the TRUTH about the case. I ask you, please know the TRUTH first before juging.
Any one who thinks the Thompson’s where innocent victims in this whole thing does not know the full story, I happen to be a victim of their scam and can tell you personally that Ruben Thompson Lied to me, both in phone conversations and in E-mails, these Disbarred Attorneys should not pass go and go directly to jail, because that’s where they belong, they stole money from me and many others, And if there is any Justice these two along with their friend Daniel Stephen will be prosecuted, I personally know there is currently an investigation by the federal Authorities to get these scam artists, they sold me land and gave me a worthless warranty deed for land the seller (Daniel Stephen) never owned, I have all the proof they where involved from jump street, and have turned over all my copies, So yes these two are the worst people ever in my opinion.
Opinion, this is just another reason why we don’t give wet foot dry foot status to Haitians who come here on tire tubes, Criminal Enterprise (Haitian Mafia)
Q: Why do South Florida Haitians have glass bottom boats?
A: So they can visit their relatives.
Miami Herald Article
• As expected, following Nov. 13's Action Line on land sales involving unlicensed broker Daniel Stephen, his company, First Loan Solution, and the firm of lawyer Marie Estime-Thompson, we received calls from additional readers who said they were victims of unscrupulous dealings.
Yvonne Walker of Pembroke Pines said she paid Stephen and Estime-Thompson's firm about $20,000 in 2005 for acreage in Taylor County (along the Panhandle) to which she never received legitimate title. Calls to the Thompsons' firm in North Miami rang either busy or disconnected.
Merlyn McKenzie of Miramar called in a similar complaint, saying she paid Stephen and the Estime-Thompson firm $9,250 as a down payment for a lot in Madison County.
What we didn't expect was to hear from family.
Between them, Marie Estime-Thompson and her husband, Ruben Thompson (also a lawyer), have to their names five Miami-Dade properties; all are in foreclosure. One of them, 920 NW Second Ave., in downtown Miami, is a historic building in the heart of Overtown that, until March 30, 2005, belonged to Brenda Killens Evans, a cousin of Ruben Thompson's.
Evans is the only child of the late entertainment impresario Clyde Killens. In Overtown's heyday, he presented the likes of Count Basie, Sam Cooke and the Duke of Earl at his nightclubs; his pool hall at 920 NW Second Ave. attracted equally famous regulars, such as Muhammad Ali and Jackie Gleason. Now, that structure will be up for auction Dec. 12 at the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector's Office.
Evans envisioned restoring the 1954 landmark and opening a sports bar in hopes of partaking in Overtown's much anticipated redevelopment.
''I would've put up a sports bar, with TVs all the way around,'' Evans said last week. ``I would cook food and serve chicken wings and things people like to eat. I really had plans for it.''
But grieving the loss of both parents in 2004, dogged by code violations and hampered by multiple sclerosis and blindness in one eye, she felt unable to pursue her dream. Ruben Thompson convinced her to sign the property over to him for $10, she said. Public record shows Thompson's wife, Marie, notarized the trustee deed. According to statute 117.107, notaries may not notarize documents in which they have a financial interest.
'He said, `I'll handle this for you; we're family,' '' Evans said. ''I didn't have the money; my credit wasn't great. He said he'd need to get a loan to get [the repairs] started, and I had to sign the papers over to him.'' Her understanding was that Thompson would put the property back in her name once the mortgage was paid off. He gave her $40,000, she said, and added that he was taking out a $100,000 mortgage; her goal was to pay it off with profits from her future bar.
According to public records, Thompson obtained a $252,895.83 mortgage on the building. Evans said repairs never took place and that Thompson stopped returning her calls. Evans hired a lawyer, who asked Thompson for an accounting of the mortgage money's fate. In a fax, Thompson replied that he would present the documents within two weeks, which never happened.
Evans then filed a complaint with the Florida Bar. In response to Bar inquiries, Thompson disputed Evans' allegations and claimed she had sold him the property. Then, on Oct. 18, both he and his wife were disbarred, at their request, which shut down the Bar's investigation.
''He's taken a lot from my kids,'' Evans said. ``He knows that building was the only future I had.''
Anyone who entered into a failed land sale with the Thompsons and/or Daniel Stephen's First Loan Solution should contact the Miami branch of the state Office of Financial Regulation at 305-536-0308. It's investigating the matter. Those who speak Creole can call the office's fraud hot line at 305-536-0421 to speak with an investigator.
Please stop trying to defend these people, The truth is Ruben an Marie Thompson both knew that the land for sale was not owned by Daniel Stephen (First Loan Solution) the seller, this was a scam devised by the three of them, their plan was to first collect the 50% up front money, later they sent to everyone an operation agreement (Madison Coco Beach, LLC), Anyone remember that, once signed it was agreement to form a corporation to purchase land with First Loan solution from the real buyer, His name is Cruce I don’t have the first name right now, anyone who signed the operation agreement is S.O.L. because you signed to invest in a Corporation to purchase land, they actually didn’t have spend the money buying the land, It was eaten up in operating costs, Namely paying themselves and research etc, If you are one of the lucky few who did not sign this agreement then your money should be in escrow with Estime-Thompson P.A. , But we all know that they embezzled the money along with Daniel Stephen, they should have errors and Omissions insurance, To date I have not been able to get that information, And as far as being sued for defamation of character, Forget about it (Fugetaboutit) these people have no Character, at least any moral character.
Can anyone get a picture of Ruben Thompson and Daniel Stephen, I would like to see what the other two Cocksuckers look like.
Patricia L. Depons worked for Ruben and Marie Thompson, not Daniel Stephen.
This is Daniel Stephen's current address, if anyone needs to send him any notices.
8453 SOUTHAMPTON DR MIRAMAR FL 33025
Why are the Thompson’s not under arrest right now? Is our law enforcement totally impotent to do anything about this? Or is not politically correct to go after these people. Maybe law enforcement is afraid of the Rev Jesse Jackson coming to their aid, I can not believe all this, Our Justice system must be a total joke when I read this.
These people the Thompsons sound like real Scumbags, I hope for everyone who got scammed by them they get some real Prison time.
Good Luck
I heard all the money went here, Banque de la Republique D'Haiti in port au-prince.
Sorry about your luck, but the U.S. can't help you get it now.
Sounds to me like we need a tree and some rope, Her neck should be fitted for a Noose along with her husband, Yes I said Noose and in this case it's well deserved, isn't this still the South. Scumbags is too good of a word for these two.
To those who would defend Marie Estime-Thompson and Ruben Thompson: Let's see, you would have us believe that Marie did NOT notarize the trustee deed where one of the victims signed over the property to Marie's husband for $10 (!!) -- even though the document irrefutably shows she did.
You would also have us believe that the checks involved in this case were NOT payable to and negotiated by the Thompsons -- not the title company -- and that the Thompsons DID NOT refuse to render any accounting for these funds -- even though the documents indicate that this is exactly what happened, and all these victims unequivocally state that they never received any accounting of the funds the Thompsons received.
You would also have us believe that all of these victims -- and there will be more coming forward now -- are lying, and that only these 2 attorneys who disbarred themselves instead of facing the Bar investigation and helping their clients are not lying.
Tell it to the jury. They'll convict in a heartbeat. And any civil jury would find in favor of the victims. And as for those whining about 'defaming' the Thompsons: Truth is a complete defense, and there is no malice in laying out the cold, hard facts.
And this goes to the victims: Seize the Thompsons' assets immediately with an ex parte prejudgment writ of attachment and/or injunction, plus a lien against their real property (including homestead), under a lawsuit against Marie Estime-Thompson and Ruben Thompson, for constructive trust, civil theft, conversion, fraud, mail and wire fraud (get federal jurisdiction that way, too), and everything else these scumbags did.
Civil theft is an especially good cause of action because you can get treble (triple) damages, 3x the amount stolen. Also go for punitive damages. Act quickly because these losers will probably try to hide their assets if not leave the country for Haiti -- and good luck getting anything done there. Maybe some former Tonton Macoutes or other such people can assist with the process there.
Two additional avenues of relief for the victims:
(1) Monetary Relief for Clients after Lawyer
Dishonesty, Client Security Fund: http://www.floridabar.org/TFB/TFBResources.nsf/Attachments/484F8AF74D2858E285256B29004BD1A1/$FILE/9-%20Client's%20Security%20Fund%20(Eng)W.pdf?OpenElement. Note that business or investment relationships between the client and attorney are not covered; the victims here would successfully argue that the lawyers' independent torts of conversion, civil theft, etc. take it outside that 'relationship.'
(2) Real Estate Recovery Fund, Florida Statutes sec. 475.482. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0475/ch0475.htm
The victims should file claims immediately against both of these Funds. A good lawyer may be likelier to take your case against the culprits knowing that recovery from the Funds could stock your 'war chest', so to speak, against them. Recovery from the Funds and private action for the culprits' wrongdoing are not mutually exclusive, i.e., the victim can pursue both avenues of relief.
Preferably, get an attorney who is Florida Bar board-certified in Business Litigation or Civil Trial and with many years of experience -- especially attorneys with expertise in creditors' remedies, because of the fraud and likelihood of dissipation of assets. The Florida Bar also has a lawyer referral service, floridabar.org.
And if the Thompsons secreted illicit proceeds with a bank in Haiti (as some have reported), and the bank was in cahoots with the perpetrators Marie Estime-Thompson and Ruben Thompson, then sue the bank in the US -- it likely has sufficient contacts in the US for jurisdiction here, and a judgment is more easily recoverable against a bank. And Haiti is renowned for the effectiveness of 'extrajudicial' procedures there.
Marie Estime-Thompson abused not only her position of 'trust' but also abused other people. She's the director of the board of FANM Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miami, Haitian WOmen of Miami -- a complete, cruel joke at the expense of Haitians, her own people. Looks like FANM just used her, too, because of her 'connections.' Sad how a group can just skip over immorality and criminality just for political expedience.
Can anyone recommend a good Attorney who would do this on a contingency basis?
I just got some good Intel, It seems the Thompson are cooperating with the Fed’s against Daniel Stephen (First Loan Solution) and one of their ex-employee Patricia Depons who ran their Title Company (International tile & Trust), It appears they are getting a sweetheart of a deal to cooperate and possibly testify, And the best part is they get to keep all the money, They are also going to appeal the disbarment with the help from their Government friends.
Great -- so not only are the Thompsons thieves, but also snitches!
'Haitian necklaces' for two, anyone?
And who in their right mind would hire or even want to be associated with these 2 even if they get reinstated with the Bar?!
There's something very rotten in Denmark here... Apologies to Hamlet.
A plea deal with the feds won't stop state prosecution or civil cases. And if the Thompsons get to 'keep' the money, they make even better targets for civil suits. And whatever evidence or testimony the Thompsons proffer as snitches will only be used against them in these cases.
I was wondering why they were not in jail yet, this answers it all (Your Tax Dollars at work) and sounds like everyone’s money at work too, but for the Thompson’s

This story gets worse and worse, can the Fed's actualy do this?, and what about all those people who the Thompson twins stole from, does this mean they are out of luck? because the Thompson are Shielded from any liability or prosecution, someone needs to dig deeper, because it looks like the are going to get away with it now.
The victims aren't out of luck. The fed deal would/could not shield the Thompsons from civil liability, whether in federal or state court. Nor would it prevent state criminal prosecution. See the posting of November 27, 2007 7:55 PM.
Can anyone here recommend an Attorney for me to use who take on such a case?
Some time ago I paid an attorney to take these people to court and get my case resolve, because I had a sickening feeling that they were up to no good, and to date the case against these crooks had not gone forward. What can I do?
I heard from good source that Daniel Stephen is still in the US. I guess if he is any move he or the Thompsons make is being watched. And what about Patricia Dupons, she is one of the main instigator in all of this. She is the one who receives all the monies going through the title company. I heard that she and Daniel Stephen were working together to defraud hard working individuals out of their monies. They should all be thrown in jail but after they repay all that they have stolen.
We all know nothing bad is going to happen to these people, they are Lawyers and I am sure this was well planed and the had plenty of time to get the money out of the country, and have all their ducks in a row, plus they already made a deal with Government, they have no worries from anything, consider them now above the law, Those of you who lost money will never see your money or Justice, This is the American way.
I have to tell you guys that those people with Estime Thompson and First loan solution (Daniel Stephen) had to steal our money that we had put as down payments since they had to use it for a language school to be able to pay to learn English…
The truth is that this system is on the site of crooks and it seems that there is nothing to be done to get our deposits back. If someone has an IDEA pleas pass it on since I started to think that I have to perform BOSNIAN JUSTICE which will leave the Cuban Tie or the Haitian necklace in dust…
Do you fuckers from above mentioned companies; remember the CNN programs and News from 1992 till 2000 brought from Bosnia and the Balkans???
Now I’m a patient person but my patience has an end too. Are you willing to see how long I will wait to get my $$$ and the money of my friends back???

KILLED LAWYER HE OWED $5.; When Attorney Tried to Collect Bill Client Hit Him with a Stone.
Disgruntled Client Kills Patent Lawyer
Posted by Peter Lattman
Some of you, especially those in the Windy City, have probably read the horrible story about last Friday’s murder of two patent lawyers and a mail clerk at a small Chicago law firm last week. Here’s the story from the Chicago Tribune.
Gunman Joe Jackson killed patent lawyer Michael McKenna because he thought McKenna had stolen his patent idea, according to police reports. Jackson had reportedly hired McKenna to research a possible patent for Jackson on a toilet that could be fitted into the cab of a tractor-trailer. Last week, he forced his way into the law firm of Wood Phillips and killed McKenna, patent lawyer Allen Hoover, 65, and 78-year-old mail clerk Paul Goodson. Jackson, who was killed by police, left behind deranged letters with his pastor. (McKenna wasn’t a lawyer at Wood Phillips but kept an office there.) Here’s a gut-wrenching story on McKenna’s funeral from the Sun-Times.
The National Law Journal noted yesterday that the shooting underscores the need for patent lawyers to proceed with caution when dealing with a client who has unrealistic expectations regarding his or her invention. Ray Blackstone, a patent lawyer at Chicago’s Trexler, Bushnell, Giangiorgi, Blackstone & Marr, said some patent lawyers refuse to represent individuals because of their sometimes passionate attachment to ideas.
Correction: An earlier version of this post incorrectly identified Hoover as the mail clerk and Goodson as the other lawyer killed.
Would this not be Haitian Justice. Luckely you are not in Arabic Country since the dilema would be wich Hand to cut off and would probably cut off both hands.

y is everyone just looking at the thompson, please remember Patricia depons was passing herself off as the attorey Marie thompson and she was taken the people money. when it came to it they only dealt with patricia depons and daniel stephan. NOw daniel stephan has a new scheme brewing and is passing himslef off as a mortgage broker and still is doing shady dealings. why is no on after him/patricia.. i heeard patricia depons went into hiding because she has the people money in another another country.What eer happened to the workers who worked on the law side? does anyone know how this probably affected them? where are they? anyway, i feel bad for all the people that got hurt and will continue to get hurt but we need to find the right people and get them. i dont think the Thompson's r bad peope they just trusted the wrong people and became ingnorant about the goins on. becasue when u talk to ms. thompson she never know anything on the land dela file. was she playing dum or did see what was going on in her own office and when trying to contact mr. thompson he was always out of the country and never had any answers to why things went the way it. money makes people very greedy and blinded. it is ashame
The better stay in hidding, Because when they come out I will be waiting for them, That's when the story comes to an end.
If any one reading this blog knows where they are please post it, it will be kept anonymous, I don't want any else to getting hurt in process.
voilence is not going to get us anywhere. What we need is our money back, and we have to find ways and means to do so. Does not make sense for you to end up in jail.
I know Marie. We studied for the bar together. I was looking for her on the net to send her a copy of the book she gave me feedback on. No one on this site will convince me that she took anybody's money. So please folks, wait for the facts. Because of her ownership interest she may be held legally responsible for others actions, but I know her as a decent human being who appears to be caught in somebody else's stuff. Marie, if you are reading this, this is Dawn. I love you. That will not change. Jean's book is finished and I would like to send you a copy. Please get in touch with me: charmaine9992004@yahoo.com.
Remember, when God is with you, it does not matter who is against you.
Re: the posting "I know Marie." You don't know jack. The facts as they are scream Marie Estime-Thompson's involvement and culpability
: her flight, her and her husband giving up her Bar license, the equity-theft contracts, on and on. It seems that those who 'know' her want people to ignore the cold, hard facts. If you know of anything even remotely exculpatory, please go right ahead and tell us.
None of you no the half of whats going on Patricia Depons is the women you should be going after not Ms. Thompson
To those who are defending the Thompson's
I am currently suing them and know all the facts, the facts are that they knew full well what they were doing was wrong and they cheated many people out of their money.
So please stop trying to defend these crooks when you have no clue what you are talking about.
A Judge ordered them to surrender their passports because much of the money is believed to have been hidden outside the U.S., and the only way we will see justice is when they are behind bars for the better part of their lives.
These are two disgusting individuals who took advantage of people for their own gain and I am going to see to it that they are punished for it.
If you have any doubts go to the Miami-Dade County Courts website and look it up.(link below)
http://www.miami-dadeclerk.com/dadecoc/
hey everyone i'm currently in the same situation......i went to the FBI some time last week. and i was told that they can look into it only if we have a lot of individuals who lost money as well, at a total of at least a million dollars......So if everyone can go over to the FBI in miami we can get a lot of things done quicker!!!!!
I personally know of 4 persons who got swindled in this land deal. I don't beleive any of the ones I know are the others here who have been ripped off. All four person have been bounced from one ageny to another, without much help. We have heard, however, that there may be a federal investigation ongoing. I hope so. Creeps like these characheters involved here must be exposed.
There is a federal investigation, I spoke to the investigator myself, but where does that leave so many of us who are out of thoudands of dollars. Where do we go from here. Who do we turn to for help? Are there any advise out there?
i know every thing about this person and i am not going to tell you about her.
You know everything about what person?
"NEWS FLASH" Ruben T. Thompson and Marie E. Thompson have left the Country and fled to the island of Haiti, this is all I have available at this time and will keep everyone updated as I get more information on this.
Sorry for the bad news everyone, looks like they are going to get away with all this.
Is there anymore news of this situation????
do these two people have children?
I am trying to figure out if these are "the" Thompsons that I know or not.
Please, People, Please, the down payment money that was collected from the people in these transactions were clearly endorsed to someone or a company.
If the moneys were endorsed to the attorney's escrow account, this information is documented with the donor’s bank copy. The attorney, Marie and the agency Attorney’s Title, the company that insures her title policies, and endorsed the title work that her office supplies has the legal rights to the trust account that is owned by her company. Under the guidelines of Attorney’s Title the only endorser on a trust account is the contracted attorney. Therefore, no other person is allowed to sign check in and out of this account. If the buyer’s checks were endorsed to the Title Company's Trust Account, who do you think authorized the withdrawals? It surely was not you or I. Guess what? It not the little lady who sits behind the desk either, it was Marie, herself who signed the checks for withdrawal. Most banks will verbally confirm large withdrawals from trust accounts with the account owner on walk Ins. Marie, as the only owner of the account had the signing authority. When the Federal Government investigates it will be based on facts not by hear say. If the Attorney resigned, it was clearly an abundance of evidence against her, such as deposit and withdrawal instruments that show her signature endorsements approving the transfers. The approved checks will show payee's name, and trust they will also be investigated. An attorney knows the rule “innocent until proven guilty”….
The question is, what is going on with the case? and how can we get out money back?
My name is chris and I am involved in this case they got me for 30,000 big ones If ther is any one who can give me some info on the case or who I can call to find out more that would be great,I hope we get some or all of the money and these fu---- can be punished.
Armageddon is coming for the Thompson's and everyone else involved, although no one will ever see their money they can take comfort in knowing that the Thompson's will be in jail soon. Keep your eyes on the news in the next couple of months.
Message to Ruben Thompson if you're reading this, I told you I if you didn't pay me I wouldn't stop until you where in jail, may your dance card in prison be full every night Ruben.

Everyone needs to leave these good people along!! Talk about mob mentality...Look.. things aren't always as they seem. It's a shame that these people have to pay such a hefty price for trying to do the right thing and believing in the milk of human kindness. You and your family will be in our prayers
These people (Thompson's) are not only being sued by individuals that their money was stolen, but by banks and other businesses they stole from, recently they committed insurance fraud by buying a policy and filing out a claim for what had already happened. Just so everyone is clear the Thompson's stole money from an escrow account where they where the only ones that could access it, stop putting the blame on others, this account held millions of dollars in customer deposits, the Thompson's used this money illegally for their own gain and lived the good live for the last few years, this is all facts because they where the only 2 listed on the accounts, so lets stop blaming others for the crimes of the Thompson's.
if they HAVE stolen money, and if the HAVE committed insurance fraud why are they not in jail... and what does "recently" mean...come on! they've made mistakes...but all this? let's just pray for AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL parties involved.
We will pray, pray for justice to come in a 20 year+ prison sentence for the Thompson's, anything less would a slap in the face of those who where robbed by these thieves.
Does anyone know what is going on with these people. I know that there was an investigation but so far nothing. To be honest with you, I would do well with my money right now, over $20,000.
News about Thompson's
http://southflorida.bizjournals.com/southflorida/stories/2009/08/31/daily21.html
More news, but the article doesn't mention the Thompson's, I wonder what backdoor deal the Government made with those thieves (the Thompson's)

This is all bull shit. If we all need to go the the FBI in Miami, we all need to do so, cause I'm sure we all can use our monies for other things.....

Technology truly is an inescapable aspect of our daily lives, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.

Patricia Du Pont and Daniel Stephen both pled quilty to land fraud and are doe to be sentenced May 18, 2010 at Miami Division, United States District Court Clerks Office, 400 North Miami Avenue, 8th floor, at 1:30 and 2 p. m. respectively. However wants to attend can do so. I do hope that justice will be served, even though even if they get 100 years in prison thay will not give people their money back, especially in this tough economic times, but i hope they lock them up and throw away te keys.
what about the Thompsons?
I think they crop a plea and are off the hook.
Daniel Stephen was sentenced to 20 years in prison and Patricia Dupons 13 years. Maybe thats enough time for them to think about the lives they have ruined with their greed.
The Thompson's made a deal with the government that not only gave them immunity from criminal charges, but also let them keep part of the money. Only in America.

I believe you're right. The husband stole his farthers dentity and stole thousands of dollars from him. If you can do this to your farther, you're capable of almost anything. I don't think Marie is innocent though.
