Masiello amount is $600K per HC Before being jailed in connection with the disappearance of Jennifer Farber Dulos, her estranged husband, Fotis Dulos, faced a downward spiral in his business and marriageBuckle up as this should start getting good IMO! Love a good financial crime and IMO this has all the hallmarks of one! But we shall see what the Civil Court says and what the evidence shows as it appears GF Atty is now looking at it! Good for them!
FD seems to be using his buddies Toutziaridis and Masiello to place 'mortgages' on his various FORE properties. I am most familiar with the situation at Sturbridge so will explain this using that property.
FD buys Sturbridge for $1.5 million
FB demolishes old house and puts up new house spends maybe $600,000 - mid range quality at best IMO but this is a very rough guess
Danbury Savings Bank Mortgage - first mortgage IDK dollar amount
Toutziaridis and Masiello Mortgages - $500,000 and IDK Masiello amount but assume $500,000
Trade Claims - $100,000 (estimate)
Gloria Farber Attachment for $500,000
So, house sells for $2.9 million (at best) - list now is $3.9 million but IMO still not in line with market stats
So. FD cost is $2.1 million - 3 mortgages (guess) $2.0 million - Trade Claims $100,000 = $0 available to pay GF attachment
I'm just putting these somewhat random (but I believe directionally correct!) numbers out there to explain what it looks like FD did to thwart the efforts of GF to collect anything from a Sturbridge sale. Its a bit like the old fashioned salami game. When I get access to the actual numbers from the Town of NC I will slot them into to these estimates and we will see if anything is left over for GF. My guess is this was designed to give GF $0 which is why I am ok using these rough numbers for this example!
FD just stacked some mortgages from his friends (we don't know if these are really secured mortgages in a traditional sense which is why GF atty is looking for the Markowitz files to prove what these loans really area and whether money passed hands and whether there is a true mortgage/secured interest in the property but Markowitz seems to be hiding the files and hiding under his desk so far as I can tell in Civil Court). I hope that Atty Markowitz has the full files to prove that cash passed hands and that there are in fact mortgage interests here as otherwise he and his client could be looking at fraud at the most simplistic level along with a whole host of other potential charges IMO. Hope this didn't happen but at this point we simply don't know as Atty Markowitz is claiming that the files are in disarray and he just moved and its expensive to make copies and a whole bunch of other IMO BS as to why he is unable to provide this info to GF Atty.
When I first started looking at this a few weeks ago it seemed highly suspicious and I still believe this transaction needs to be looked at by the State and the Civil Court as on the surface it simply smells for lack of a better description!
Once I get all the actual numbers on this property I will repost but I wanted to explain conceptually what I'm looking at as what FD and his friends just might be doing to thwart GF! Hope I'm wrong here!
MOO
Looking back at that photo in the article of the crime truck, was all the red tape at 80MS there before 6/2? Or did LE put up all that red tape? That crime truck is pretty ominous in retrospect making me think they might have found something there also my question about the red tape. But that might be from landscaping in progress. I recall a discussion about the red tape way back.
