The Sun News.com of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina led with the headline of “Developer linked to Playboy Model to Plead Guilty to Mail Fraud” by David Wren

The article goes on to say:

“Ford Shelley Jr. – the local developer whose acquaintance with the late Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith helped fuel a media circus following her death – has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge of mail fraud related to allegedly falsified mortgages he helped to arrange for his Pineapple Bay condominium project in Myrtle Beach.

“Even though he has agreed to plead guilty, Shelley said he is the innocent victim of a mortgage broker who misled him about the legality of a loan program that Shelley used to sell the condos. Neither Shelley nor his lawyer identified the mortgage broker.”

Nice to know poor Ford is still hollering he is the victim. Wonder what the patriarch, G. Ben Thompson, thinks of Ford Shelley taking down some of the Thompson family with him, like Gaither B Thompson, II who is to be arraigned on November 9, 2011 at 10:30 AM in Florence, South Carolina for mail fraud with two of Shelley’s other business partners; after what we can gather was Shelley testifying against them to the grand jury, per Shelley’s plea deal.

All things considered Shelley’s attorneys, Gene Connell of Surfside Beach and Brown Johnson of Florence, cut Shelley a pretty sweet deal. Shelley:

“Did devise and intend to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud a lender by means of false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises.”

Shelley sold condo units at his Pineapple Bay Project, operated by his company, “Fruits of My Labor LLC” by inducing buyers to purchase the units and then Shelley would give them a large kick back in money after the sale of said property and leave that little tidbit out to HUD.

However the plea agreement is only for one count of mail fraud because of course Shelley’s hands were all over the completed loan packages minus that kick back money when mailed to GMAC Mortgage Corporation. Damn it is always the IRS or the U. S. Postal Office that gets you, Ford didn’t watching the Capone movies teach you anything?

Shelley sold the condos for $695k to $700k, all but one went into foreclosure. The condos are now selling for $135k to $155k.

Shelley entered into the plea deal on October 11, 2011. The day after Shelley plea deal was filed with the court on October 24, 2011, the federal grand jury indictment of Shelley’s brother-in-law Gaither Thompson II and two business partners for mail fraud of the same property was unsealed on October 25, 2011.

Shelley under his plea agreement was to testify to the grand jury truthfully about other parties involved. No date for his sentencing has been set, if he helps get the other guys, like in-laws, he might get some points by the court. Shelley is facing a maximum of up to 20 years in prison, a fine up to $250K, supervised release up to 3 years and a special assessment of $100.00.

So wonder if Ford and wife Gina Thompson Shelley will be invited to the holiday festivities this year?

Enjoy reading the papers.

October 25, 2011 Federal Criminal Indictment of Gaither B Thompson II (430)

In what appears to be generosity the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith through the Executor Howard K. Stern filed with the federal court in South Carolina a Request for more time to enter the final agreement between the Estate and the Thompson/Shelley families until a hearing in the Probate Court in California to be held on January 24, 2012.

October 21, 2011 Anna Nicole Smith\'s Estate Requests More Time to Enter Settlement Agreement (184)

My final question after watching all of these clowns since February 2007, is CAN Ford Shelley be honest? What are your thoughts is facing federal prison time suddenly turned Ford into an honest man?

Next week, July 1996, marks the 15th anniversary of the bomb explosion at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta Georgia, and lawyers for Richard Jewell, who died in 2007, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution final fight might very well be over. A Georgia Court of Appeals ruled last week, and affirmed the dismissal of the libel case against the newspaper could signal that the final fight has ended.

L. Lin Wood Jr., who has represented Richard Jewell in multiple libel suits and upon his death represented his estate, has said he, “Will appeal last week’s adverse decision by the state Court of Appeals.” That would mean that either the Georgia Supreme Court, or even the U.S. Supreme Court, could decide to weigh in. If it gets to the U. S. Supreme Court I predict, with the using of the Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment of Free Speech in regards to campaign contributions by corporations, we could pretty much predict which way they would rule. Thus unless the Georgia Supreme Court takes the case the saga of a hero turned villain by the media has come to a close. Last week’s Court of Appeals ruling, which affirmed the dismissal of the case against the newspaper will be the end of the cases on behalf of Jewell. Lin Wood was dubbed by Dan Rather as the voice of the damned because of this case and other cases Wood became known, such the John & Patsy Ramsey libel cases, in regards to the tragic murder of their young daughter, JonBenét Ramsey.

Wood says his efforts have not been for nothing. “I do believe the Richard Jewell case made a difference. I do believe that responsible members of the media are more cautious now.” He adds, though: “I don’t think it’s deterred Nancy Grace much.”.

I would point out the recent lynching of Casey Anthony for three years before her trial by media such as Grace and others would go a long way of saying some of the infotainment passed as news have not learned much except for Grace’s screeching words of her own first amendment rights to feed the ratings game still ring hollow in many of our ears.

The first glaring question to me is did the death of Michael Jackson cause the bankruptcy of Dr. Arnold Klein and if so, what does that say about the prescriptions that were being handed out to stay close to Jackson?

March 10, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein Status Report on his pending bankruptcy. (172) This filing is interesting because it states in part; “Dr. Arnold Klein is often referred to as and considered the father of modern cosmetic dermatology”. Arnold Klein has also filed bankruptcy in his medical corporation which is a separate case before this same court. Arnold “believes that some or all of his financial obligations were incurred as a result of fraud and/or embezzlement perpetrated by his former accountant and office manager…” It also gives us a peek into the Dr. Conrad Murray state criminal trial by stating; “Dr. Klein plans to retain the Law Offices of Garo B. Ghazarian as his criminal attorneys in connection with a subpoena issued to compel Klein’s deposition in connection with a state court criminal case. Klein also gives up a view into the rich and famous and what cutting back is to them. Be sure to read page 8 on the three properties, lawn and pool service, eat, drink and be merry and care takers for the two he does not live in. Not the normal bankruptcy here.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Summary Schedules (198)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Statistical Summary of Certain Liabilities (175)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Statement of Financial Affairs (190)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule A Real Property (212) This document lists Klein’s three homes, the value and how much he still owes on each one.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule B Personal Property (201) This is well worth a read, talking about arrogant millionaires. This lists every painting, a crystal panda bear, how things are framed, value, and where Klein bought them from. A GREAT advertisement for places like Christies and I would say not to expect this to go on sale in a yard or garage sale or even on an auction block. This to me was the best read of these papers filed.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule C Property Eexempt from bankruptcy (178)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule D Creditors holding Secured Claims (167)

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule F Creditors holding UNSecured Non-priority Claims (189) Basically shows credit cards, gardeners, etc. that are maxed out, but also WHO is Michael Duffy that Klein was loaned $200k from this person, and now it is probably never going to be paid back.

April 8, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Motion to Compel Able Investment Services to Produce Documents (150) Klein alleges that Able Investment Services, LLC, Klein is alleging that loan made by Able to Klein who holds the first deed of trust against one of Klein’s homes and Klein believes that the lien held by Able is one of the many liabilities incurred by his former business manager and/or others without Klein’s consent or knowledge.

April 15, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Motion and Memorandum of Law to Supprt Request for Order Establishing Bard Date for filing Proof of Cliams and interest to date.

I doubt that we will ever know what the Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate vs. Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Susan M. Brown et all, is going to end. I am willing to bet something is going on behind the scenes.

May 13, 2011 Anna Nicole Smith Estate files Joint Status Report NO Dates Available (311) On behalf of all of the parties Executor’s attorneys have filed a Status requested by the judge of the Federal Court in South Carolina as to what dates in August and September are the parties ready to go to trial because this has been pending about 3 years now, and the judge wanted to start jury selection on July 28, 2011. It appears from the filing that there are three days available in August and three days in September available for all of the parties and those dates are no where near each other.

There is no ruling on the money the Estate says Susan M. Brown owes the Estate. We have the ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court is due out by the last Monday of June 2011, but how could the parties NOT think the judge was ready to go on the South Carolina case? Whatever is up, we will never know UNLESS the judge issues an order of be here on this date or else. I doubt that will happen because the Court had already stated that it could send an Order out scheduling the trial to start at a later date then September. So what do you think the judge is going to do?

Then we have the bankruptcy of Dr. Arnold Klein which WAS to be discharged as of today and gone!!!! Surprise like all of the cases involving Anna Nicole Smith and her Estate and the parties who knew her. Klein’s bankruptcy has turned into anything but “normal”. I started going through the files this afternoon and suddenly realized there were mass Motions and Memorandum of Law and revolving lawyers and claims and counterclaims. It is going to take me most of tonight to just see which ones to pull for ya’ll. However here is the Schedule of hearings I have read today.

May 10, 2011 at 2:00 PM Status Hearing on Arnold Klein’s Bankruptcy

May 18, 2011 9:00 AM Hearing on Multiple Motions on the Bankruptcy of Arnold Klein

Then we have poor Casey Anthony standing trial in the media circus that is said by the judge it will be bigger than O. J. Simpson’s murder trial. The sad things is Casey Anthony does not have the money to buy the dream team O. J. had, another reminder in the U. S., you are entitled to the best defense YOU have the money to BUY.

We are going to do something interesting with this case and I will put up some links to papers you may or may not have about this trial.

May 9, 2011 Jury Selection begins in Casey Anthony First Degree Murder Case in Florida. Already we are getting Nancy Grace’s grating voice on commercial that “she will have a panel” to cover the highlights everyday on her show. Thank God for remote control for the television, because Grace is not going to be beamed into this house.

May 16, 2011 Opening statements due on the Casey Anthony First Degree Murder Case in Florida. Rose Speaks.com will be giving twitter updates throughout each day of the trial.

Ken is setting up some new gadgets that is going to allow us and those of you who want to, twitter throughout the trial each day as we watch it on Tru TV the old Court TV. If you want to participate let us know you do on our twitter that we are sending out in about 5 minutes and Ken will work the magic that allows all of us to do this.

Do y’all want Diamond Girl to set up an open daily discussion each day for this case in the Community she runs? Let her know and I am sure if she can she will get with you about how you want to set this up.

In a telephone hearing today in the South Carolina Federal Court Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III made the following rulings after TELEPHONE CONFERENCE with the parties and counsel.

1. Howard K. Stern on behalf of the Estate for Anna Nicole Smith had agreed to the Attorney of Record to Withdraw and the Memorandum for reasons to withdraw be sealed The Court Agreed and Ordered that the reason be sealed and Susan M. Brown’s current attorney can and as of today has withdrawn from the case.

2. Stern offered to give The Brown Law Offices and Susan M. Brown thirty days to seek new counsel. Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III ruled Brown had only ten (10) days to find new counsel or would represent herself Pro Se.

3. Smith’s Estate had offered a “reasonable period of time for the Brown defendants to have discovery”. Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III ruled that; “Court will stay scheduling deadlines for a period of 10 days

4. The Estate says the only Motion currently pending before the court is the amount of attorneys fees that Brown and her firm owes for the Contempt proceedings, no ruling on that was made today. L. Lin Wood, Luke Lantta and Nicole Jennings Wade, lead attorneys are optimistic that a mediated settlement is possible but has not happened to date, therefore if necessary the Estate is ready for final Pretrial Motions to be filed and then a jury trial.

Ok folks, Dr. Conrad Murray heads to opening statements on May 9, 2011, trial to be televised. As of today the latest “defense” is Michael Jackson was so depressed and scared about money he killed himself. Ah the Google alerts pouring in, and the rumor that one of Murray’s top lawyers has been offered a “reality show” at the end of the trial.

There is a hearing on April 11, 2011 at 10:00 A. M. on Howard Mann and Vintage Pop Motion to Dismiss the lawsuit initiated by the Executors and Administrators of Jackson’s Estate, John Branca and John McClain. In scanning through the exhibits I came across one that Joe and Katherine Jackson with some of the other family members went bankrupt in 2000 and in 2002 the Bankruptcy Trustee sold some of the rights to Howard Mann. So this suit might not be as open and shut as it looks. I suggest you download the papers and let us know what you think:

March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Motion to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (265)
March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (298)

On the same date at the same time the Court will be hearing the Request for Judicial Ruling by Howard Mann and Vintage Pop here are those papers:

March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Request for Judicial Notice to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (254)
March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 filed with the Request for Judicial Notice to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (264)
March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Exhibit 4, part 1 filed with the Request for Judicial Notice to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (260)
March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Exhibit 4, part 2 filed with the Request for Judicial Notice to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (254)
March 14, 2011 Howard Mann Exhibits 5 and 6 filed with the Request for Judicial Notice to Dismiss Estate's Original Complaint (251)

Then there are the required Notice of Interested Parties, Joiner in the Motions, the Opposition Reply by the Estate and the Response to the Reply by Mann and Vintage Pop. All of these are set for hearing in Los Angeles Federal Court if you are in town that day, drop by listen to the lawyers and tell us what you think and more important what all of this is going to end up costing Michael Jackson’s three children. It gives greed a whole new meaning.

March 16, 2011 Howard Mann and Vintage Pop Notice of Interested Parties (327)
March 16, 2011 Howard Mann and Vintage Pop Notice to Court and the Estate of Michael Jacksion that Vintage Pop Joins in the Motion to Dismiss. (481)

March 21, 2011 Estate of Michael Jackson Opposition to Howard Mann Request for Judicial Notice (574)
March 28, 2011 Howard Mann Reply Brief to Estate of Michael Jackson Opposition to Mann's Motion to Dismiss Suit. (171)

We are getting the Michael Jackson documents connected first under the new software, and as every time we have changed, simplified, tried to make the site more user friendly there are a LOT of burbs. THE ONLY DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD ON THE SITE ARE THE ONES LISTED ON THE NEW DOWNLOAD SECTION AT THE UPPER TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE. We are tweaking with the coding. So far the I. E. browser is user friendly with the downloads; Fire Fox is not as much, you have to line your mouse up towards the left hand side of the error on the download button to get the document, EXCEPT when you download them from the article. Thus like with this one of the multiple Michael Jackson trials we will list all of the documents in the articles. We are trying to see what happens if you use Chrome. WE FULLY expect to have this all tweaked and working for all browsers by no later than Saturday. IF YOU WANT A DOCUMENT FROM AN OLDER TRIAL (I. E. MOST OF THE ANNA NICOLE SMITH CASES) EMAIL US AND WE WILL GET IT TO YOU ON AN INDIVIDUAL REQUEST We will be doing a short article everyday with the list of downloads that have been transferred to the new system, but also check the Download page daily.

Now with all of that said we have televised trials coming up. I have three sites I like if you intend to watch the Casey Anthony Case that we will do brief lead-in articles on their daily coverage. If you have a site you like let us know and we will contact the owners to see what we can work out with them. IF YOU want an area to discuss the Casey Anthony trial get with Diamond Girl to get a general discussion area for the trial in the community section. We have several members that will be watching that trial as well as several that will be watching the Dr. Conrad Murray Manslaughter trial. Again you can get in touch with Diamond Girl if you want a daily general discussion section set up in the community during Murray’s Trial.

If you want to twitter during the coverage of either trials here to our site email us and we will get that set up. We are going to be enlarging the area on the side of each main page for twitters during both trials.

Ken and I with our administrators and moderators want to thank you for flying RoseSpeaks.com

What started out as the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. Ford Shelley, Gina Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gaither Thompson and Melanie Thompson, or known as the Shelley and Thompson Clan of South Carolina. The people who broke into Horizons in the Bahamas and then allegedly sold a lot of tapes and pictures to TMZ (remember the Methadone refrigerator picture), Splash (including the tasteless picture of Daniel Smith in his casket), tons of videos to Fox News including On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera Live, and the list goes on and on. Ford was one of the first to holler, Howard K. Stern did something to Daniel and Anna Nicole Smith, and the first at the trial to say Howard never hurt Anna……… so much for credibility. The question is though where is the money that all of that sold for????

Then enters what has become the big fish, Susan M. Brown Esq., Georgia Attorney and the Susan M. Brown Law Office, did this poor woman get left holding the bag and with the O’Quinn law firm dissolved there is no one to hand it off too. Kind of like playing musical chairs and the one left standing alone when the music stops, that would be Susan M. Brown.

Brown has tap danced for two years with the same song just different steps until she finally had a Northern District of Georgia Federal Court say she had waived the attorney client privilege under the crime fraud act…… NOT good for a lawyer’s resume, not to mention the State Bar of Georgia.

Any Objections to Susan M. Brown’s current lawyers, Joseph C. Wilson IV. and Carl E. Pierce II of Pierce, Herns, Sloan & McLeod LLC, has filed to withdraw as counsel for “the Brown Defendants”, stating it would not cause any prejudice because “the discovery concerning the Brown Defendants has not begun”. Do what??? The court ruled a long time ago that because Brown has been present for all of those depositions there would not be that much extra to tidy up the suit and have it ready for trial.

However the big WHAM in the March 2, 2011 filings is asking and filing the Motion to Withdraw with the grounds set out to substantiate the withdrawing should be in a Memorandum in Support filed UNDER SEAL “Counsel is not aware of any other means to communicate the grounds for withdrawal that would protect the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship and avoid undue prejudice to the Brown Defendants.”

However the case they quote as outweighing the right of the public right to know (I. E. the News media) on its own raises red flags of the potential seriousness of these actions. In the Knight case it states; “we explained that, while a district court has a supervisory power over its own records and may, in its discretion, seal documents if the public’s right of access is outweighed by competing interests, the presumption in such cases favors public access. The public’s right of access to judicial records and documents may be abrogated ONLY IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Accordingly before a district court may seal any court documents, we held that it must 1) provide public notice of the request to seal and allow interested parties a reasonable opportunity to object. (That date was March 21, 2011 per the South Carolina Federal Court’s Docket). 2) consider less drastic alternatives to sealing the documents, and 3) provide specific reasons and factual findings supporting its decision to seal the documents and for rejecting the alternatives.”

The Motion ends that “Counsel will submit the Memorandum in Support of the Motion to Withdraw to the Court for the Court’s in camera review and shall not file same until further notice from the Court.

Well folks I don’t think there will be any jury selection starting tomorrow, and as of midnight there has been no objections or request for a hearing on the filing being done under seal…

So what do you think Susan M. Brown needs to be protective from “avoid undue prejudice”?

As soon as we have the Court’s decision, and new dates for jury selection will post it, it is noticeable that no lawyer has filed to just transfer the case to them, as new attorney of record, things that make you go Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

HERE ARE THE THREE LATEST FILINGS:

March 2, 2011 Susan M Brown\'s Answer First Amended Complaint (196)
March 2 , 2011 Motion by Counsel for Susand M. Brown and The Brown Law Firm to Wtithdraw (305)
March 2, 2100 Counsel for Susan M Brwon Motion to File Under Seal Memorandum Reason Withdraw as Counsel (298)
