Just wanted to place a factoid out there regarding MB's employment -- while looking at the Pamela Wiggins arrest report for other information, under the 'vicim' information, I noted that in 1993, there are two entries for MB where she listed her place of employment as Discount Auto Broker, 690 N Navy Blvd. She otherwise is listed as unemployed.
I wanted to find out if this auto broker was a BB owned operation, and it was not, at least as far as records show. What I did see, though, and I found this time and again when researching BBs businesses, as well as other loan and auto sales related business, was that these people will start a company at an address... then fail to file report, or voluntarily fold the biz. You then see that they physically never moved, never changed phone number, so you look up phone number. You find three other biz related to that number, some also no longer filing as active, with maybe one active, but under a new DBA name, but with same owners. In short, every one of these businesses I have looked into, without exception, meets my own definition of a 'web' of interlocking businesses, with no clear rhyme nor reason to the hop scotching. I followed this one across the state, and the business owner now runs an operation with entire family on the East Florida Coast, but the address of residence in corp filings is the same old Pcola address for Discount Auto broker at 690 N Navy. What I found interesting is that Bing and Google street view of that address show a clearly dilapidated old lot, with a building that looks ramshackle and abandoned... clearly no 'stock' of autos for sale... yet, there are four of five private cars pulled in front of it in most photos, so *something* goes on at that location....
I have a couple of reasons for writing this post:
1) Document that MB was at one time shown as involved in used auto herself, otuside hubbies overt owned biz,
2) Illustrate the transient and shifting nature of the used auto business, and how difficult it is to trace the businesses themselves, let alone transactions.
3) Provide a resource -- The link where the Pam Wiggins report is at, also has links to all the other arrest reports, so it is a handy reference for sleuths:
