Clever Willy Files Another Summonsless Suit
[UPDATE, October 20, 2022: This blog was posted on September 29, 2022. On October 12, 2022, Attorney William Zac White issued three summonses in the case. Gold star for Willy. (I was down with COVID until a few days ago and am trying to catch up with my own cases.) Now we can wait with bated breath to see if the attorney serves the summonses before the final hearing on the case.]
You should catch up by reading how Arkansas Attorney William Zac White and Judge Susan Kaye Weaver transfer properties from trusts to his clients, each time failing to serve a summons on the defendants.
The out-of-control attorney filed another suit today. Named a trust. Check. Issued no summons. Check.
This case is against great-grandparents Harold and Patsy Land of Lawrence County Arkansas.
If any reader knows the Lands, give them a heads up.
The suit is based on a real estate sale “contract” that Mr. White claims was oral.
I am not an attorney, but I was a real estate broker for three decades. I heard about this thing called the statute of frauds. I bet most attorneys have heard of it too.
Here is a statute cut and pasted from a Justia, that looks to my non-attorney self to be the statute of frauds.
Instruments
Chapter 59 – Fraud
Subchapter 1 – Statute of Frauds
§ 4-59-101 – Contracts, agreements, or promises required to be in writing.
4-59-101. Contracts, agreements, or promises required to be in writing.
(a) Unless the agreement, promise, or contract, or some memorandum or note thereof, upon which an action is brought is made in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith, or signed by some other person properly authorized by the person sought to be charged, no action shall be brought to charge any:
(4) Person upon any contract for the sale of lands, tenements, or hereditaments, or any interest in or concerning them;
Slick Willy forgot to issue a summons, but he remembered to file a lis pendens. He wrote in the complaint that the Lands have a sale pending. That lis pendens may block the sale. If Mr. White doesn’t serve summons on the elderly couple or the trust they set up, they will have a rude surprise in escrow. Mr. White will have leverage to extort some sort of settlement. Knowing Mr. White’s record, a judge may give default judgment to his client without a summons being issued.
Is this another way for Mr. White to grab property from the elderly for his clients and his “fee”?
I’d have to guess YES!
Searcy County Arkansas Sheriff’s Email Hacked: Deputy Dopey Not Too Concerned
I received an email that appeared to be from Searcy County Sheriff, Kenney Cassell today.
It said he was sharing a Dropbox file with me. Just click here.
I am sick with COVID and still under the influence of medications. It is difficult to sit. It is difficult to breath. Sorry William White, Susan Weaver and Portfolio Recovery Associates; I am not going to die from this. It is just slowing me down.
I foolishly clicked on the box and entered my email address and password, as instructed.
When there was no file presented to me, I quickly changed my email password.
I called the sheriff. Deputy Devon answered. (You can listen to the call below.)
He put me on hold a couple minutes to investigate. Then he said “We see an email. It was not meant to be sent to you. We are not sure exactly what this email is so you can disregard it. It’s not anything.”
Me: It’s very strange.
Deputy “Dopey” Devon: We didn’t send this email somehow.
Me: What do you mean you didn’t send it?
Deputy Dopey: We didn’t send this out this morning. We may have been hacked so…
Me: You may have been hacked?
Deputy Dopey: Disregard it. Delete it.
I gave him a long explanation of why I wanted more specific information about who hacked their system. I was concerned it might be Judge Susan Weaver or Attorney William White.
Finally, Deputy Dopey said “It was sent to a couple hundred people, so it wasn’t specifically targeted to you.”
So, the Sheriff of Searcy County Arkansas was hacked and its email is used to help the hacker convince old ladies who are on medication to enter their email and password. Many hours later, the sheriff still has not sent an email blast warning folks not to click on the “Dropbox” link.
A concerned citizen who is now likely to have further fraud committed against her by the hackers called and the Sheriff did not want to investigate. They made no effort to discover anything like IP addresses or anything that might be helpful to a computer forensics expert.
I’m glad Sheriff Kenney Cassell, who has a pleasant demeanor, has no brain. If he did, it would get lonely being the only one in the sheriff station.
There is an intermission when D.D. investigates. Grab a bite to eat or fast forward to 6:01.
