Thank you. You make excellent points. I'll share them with her. I will be providing her standard authorization and disclosure documents for Mr. Google to complete. Once we have those we'll draft her a letter setting forth our findings and providing an opinion. Haytham Faraj Sent from my iPhone Haytham: I have done some additional research on PACER and found the following: 1. There are a few cases where individuals (several pro se) have sought to try to stop a foreclosure by alleging some misbehavior on the part of First Mount Vernon. The Wilson case was dismissed. Ms. Wilsonâs pleadings were virtually unintelligible. This was the only suit that actually mentioned Mr. Fogle. I attach the complaint in a matter of Desouza v. First Mount Vernon and some John/Jane Does (again doesnât mention Mr. Fogle). This case was also dismissed, but the Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal today (11-21-2011) and a Motion to proceed in forma pauperis. There was another case called Andia Evans v. First Mount Vernon (#10-1654) and a law firm and one other individual (not Mr. Fogle) that still appears to be going through some administrative wrangling. These were all the cases I found under Mr. Fogleâs name or First Mount Vernonâs. 2. I looked but could not find any cases in Georgia. There is another Paul Fogle there that is a realtor who is also on Linked In. It could be him, but hard to tell without knowing more. 3. I attached the complaint in DeSouza so that you could see the kind of complaints made. I donât think they indicate that Mr. Fogle is a shady character, just that the plaintiffs were trying to save their property. I also attach some very general background from the Monument Capital Corp website mentioning Mr. Fogle. 4. I also checked PACER for any records on Monument Capital Corp but see no records involving them. 5. I tried searching the local jurisdictions in Virginia for Paul Fogle but found no records in Alexandria, Arlington or Prince William. Fairfaxâs records are not available on line without a paid subscription. 6. I believe that if Ms. Wolford wants a thorough background check on Mr. Fogle she should engage someone who is skilled at performing these types of searches, like a private investigator (Iâm not, other than what I have given you with this email). Though the majority of the screening may be done on line, most of the sites used for this purpose require paid subscriptions. She should also get Mr. Fogleâs authorization so she can run a credit check on him â that will show a lot or ask him to provide her with copies of his recent credit reports. People who do background checks will have access to all the credit agencies as well. The lending business is a risky business now so she should be careful in screening any business partner. Also, isnât she an IT specialist? What is she doing getting involved in this business? Her email indicates that she has some valid concerns. Even if Mr. Fogle is a good guy, the business is really rough. Does she normally invest in these types of things?

Subject: Fwd: FW: Here's the information to conduct an investigation for CSSS. Sent from my iPhone I donât know exactly what you wanted to have spelled (couldnât understand the voicemail). See below for Paul Fogle spelling. His linked in account has the spelling of the company name, etc. Please call if I havenât answered the question.. Lisa N. Wolford President & CEO CSSS.NET 402-502-4145 Bellevue Office 202-639-5101 DC Office lisa@csss.net 8(a)/SDB, WOB, SDVOSB Okay, you are right (you knew that) I need an attorney for the ticket, it is a misdemeanor see below: Exceeding speed limit - A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit where the applicable speed limit is thirty miles per hour or less, (ii) at a speed of sixty miles per hour or more where the applicable maximum speed limit is thirty-five miles per hour, (iii) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limits where the applicable maximum speed limit is forty miles per hour or more, or (iv) in excess of eighty miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit). I am so glad that I asked you. I had no idea it was such a big deal. Okay, please get me an attorney right away. Individual in question is Paul Fogle Note that he is VP/COO of 1st Mt Vernon... He is wanting to set up a new LLC in VA named Private Lending Store, LLC. He has provided some draft documents regarding the investment program and how it would work. I think his company took quite a bath on the subprime mortgage market and that is the market that he knows. However, it is also one that is fraught with fraud and other misbehaviors that are less than savory. I did see 2 court cases listed on google, the one below and another related to a funeral home in Georgia that looks like from what I could find was not the right thing to be doing. He is talking about charging private rates of 14-15% to the borrower, investors will collect approximately 12%, servicer of the loan takes 1% and he takes 2% plus fees. However, his background is also all commercial real estate and the worst of the behaviors that I have heard about have been to individuals. He is planning to have PLS, LLC work with investors in rental real estate. I do understand that the market is somewhat frozen still with the lenders but that is because they don't want to get involved in any more bad loans. So anyway, I think that synopsizes my concerns regarding the market, now I need your help in resolving one way or the other my concerns regarding Paul and his history of business behaviors which I am unsure of.
