FL - Abraham Shakespeare, 42, lottery winner, Polk County, 7 April 2009 #3

You sound like you know alot about recording, so I will ask you. If the person records the mortgage and then the owner of the property goes to take another mortgage on the property, is it true that since the first mortgage was recorded, the next mortgage would be a second mortgage and subject to the first mortgage being paid off first before they are paid? If so, then if the mortgage is executed, but not filed, and the person took out another mortgage at a later date and that mortgage is filed, doesn't that mortgage become the first mortgage and get paid off first regardless of the fact that another mortgage was executed on an earlier date because the earlier mortgage was not filed? There are times where there is not enough money to pay off both mortgages if the house is foreclosed on. So, when that is the case, isn't the first one to file the first one paid off regardless of when the mortgages were executed?

Well...it could get complicated. Hence the reason for filing mortgages.
Typically, a "first" mortgage is the first one taken on the property, to purchase the property initially. Every thing after that is considered a "second" or "junior" mortgage. What happens at foreclosure is that the person filing foreclosure has to notify every party with an interest in the property of the suit. It has to also be published in a newspaper. The problem is, if the junior loan was never entered into public records, the loan holder may never know of the foreclosure action.

It doesn't matter which mortgage is filed first, it would go by the executed date, but more importantly, the amount. In most cases, the largest loan would be considered the "first" mortgage. It would really boil down to a seperate civil suit if two people claimed "first" loans, which probably the judge would split the proceeds down the middle. It rarely happens, because usually mortgage notes are recorded immediately..

Do you have anything in writing that connects Deedee or Dorice Moore to Abraham prior to December 2008 when Jackson said she introduced them because Deedee said she wanted to write a book about Abraham? I can't find anything.

IMHO - Moore had some type of connection to Cedric Lewis prior to Dec 2008. Don't have confirmation as of yet. This is why we dig; to understand what was going on prior to properties being transferred into her company.

On the same dates as in wanttohelp's post above, there are other property transactions going on at the same time in Marion Co (Ocala) involving a Ronald J Knight.

The recorded mortgage on 4/4/07 says Ronald J Knight is single.
There was a satisfaction of mortgage recorded on 4/12/07.
There was an assignment recorded on 4/23/07, but the signature dates on the document are 3/26/07- the same day Debra J Knight applied for notary.

This may be a different Ronald Knight, or a son, but how hinky are those dates? There is also a marriage in May of this year of a younger Ronald (Jeffrey) Knight, born in 1981.

I found this Delinquent Tenant filing against James and Dorice Moore dated 7/2/2001. The plaintiffs were Reginald and Patricia Mobley. The Moore's had to ask the court's permission to get back into the house for their things.

The house looks to be the 3316 S Forbes Rd, Dover address. The Mobley's sold this house to George and Judith Mate (current owners) on 10/3/2001.

http://publicrecord.hillsclerk.com/...980&pnCaseYrTo=2009&pcCtypCL=ALL&pcLocnCL=ALL

The date is of interest as her insurance fraud scheme (ditch/tied up) happened the following month. When Dee was arrested, she told police she lived on 3316 N Forbes Rd. Police later updated the report to S Forbes Rd.

july 7 2003, date bankruptcy filing was granted.

Quote from Abraham in 1/19/07 article in The Ledger.
He got the idea for the business from one of his friends and he's relying on his longtime friendships with partners Franklin Jackson and Gregory Massey to get the corporation started.
Winter Haven lawyer Cedric Lewis has been fielding requests for some of the proposed ventures.
"They're good people," Shakespeare said about his business associates. "I feel like I can trust them."

You missed the most disturbing part about this one. If you look at the back page of Claude Lewis's purchase of the property, it's actually Cedric Lewis and Claude Lewis buying it via balloon mortgage. Then they turn around two months later and have Shakespeare and Associates buy it from them for $125,000. The property is currently appraised at $21,357. This alone could qualify Attorney Cedric Lewis for disbarment in addition to possible criminal charges in his management of Shakespeare & Associates and conspiracy with AMP. IMO

I'm sure there are papers drawn up between Cedric and Abraham spelling out terms of attorney compensation. I don't believe this transaction was his payment for services. There is something so grievious about an attorney who crosses the line when their relationship is built on trust to protect their client.

Cedric Lewis's attorney license is currently suspended by the FL Supreme Court for mismanagement of trust funds in another case. He was suspended on May 19, 2009 and is to remain suspended until further notice by the court.

This reminds me of the case of Brooke Astor and her son's management of her finances. Told his multi-millionaire mother she was broke as he stole millions from her accounts through forgery before she died.

Many thanks to The Ledger for keeping this story in the public's eye.

Investigators have looked closely at Moore because of her association with Shakespeare. She said she'd met him last year through a mutual acquaintance. When he agreed to sign all his holdings over to her earlier this year, law enforcement took notice.

Moore, 37, said the transfer of assets freed Shakespeare of obligations related to his property ownership, while allowing him cash for day-to-day expenses.

Authorities haven't commented publicly on Moore's role in Shakespeare's disappearance, but they've combed her house for clues.

The Polk County Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate Shakespeare's disappearance, and issued a missing person notice in November seeking information on the case.

Probably seemed like I had abandoned ship on ya's here, but I was watching/reading from the 'guest' side, while away from my computer. I went to today's Ledger article, a few minutes ago, to see if anyone had commented within the "forums"... nope, the article wasn't even brought to the forum... I'm thinking about putting it there now. DM commented in the newspaper forum, with one of the other articles that ran... thought perhaps she'd appreciate the attention and drop in for a visit!

In trying to follow this outrageous mess, it has my brain spinning circles... and I can't figure out where I left off with MY input here... anyone waiting for info I was collecting? :waitasec:
