The branch manager that was accused of following the direct orders of ex-First Guaranty loan officer Bonnie Dennis has come forward with a recorded statement saying now that he never offered the banks depositor a 500k loan at the branch.
This may confirm to some that the odd unprompted loan offer was in fact fake and used as an attempt to get the company's owner's signature. The day before a transaction had occurred between the banks loan officer and one of the company's investors which resulted in the arrest of that investor. He was charged with grand theft of 1.6 million and was taken into custody. There still have been no charges against the loan officer (who worked at the time directly under Jay Fant III a local public official) that constructed the apparent cut and paste of another loan applicants assets and loan approval. The loan officer also generated a bogus Corporate Certification used in the scheme. It is not clear if the loan officer held stock in the privately held bank. She received a major promotion and then left the bank to become the CFO of The Bank of Jacksonville. She has been attending and her and her husband have been sponsoring local political fund raisers which include the current Circuit County Judges son, Rick Buttner. His father is overseeing the foreclosure and multiple other civil complaints regarding the theft. The theft victims have complained repeatedly of bias from the judge against the theft victims to the District Court of Appeals about the Judges relationship with the banks owners and board members as well as the ex-employee Bonnie Dennis. The state and local police are still investigating the theft and the process in which it occurred which involved bank transactions from the victims loan application causing it to loose it's collateral using title fraud. The state has not protected the victims property as of yet and if sold or returned to the bank before being returned to the victims is outrageous. The government is broken and will not stand up to criminals if they have enough money. Our Florida constitution protects it's citizens but it needs those who take the oath to uphold it too follow through no matter what. Stop letting the rich steal you dignity America! You deserve better for your hard work!
