Bryan Robinson & His House Flip Scam Victims

Bryan Robinson is perhaps best known for being part of the DreamVision Team...the man who stood before the public and announced that all funding for the project was in place. Yet that's not why we're taking another look at Robinson today. Remember his house-flipping scheme which allegedly claimed at least three victims who unwisely invested in this plan? It seems that two more have become collateral damage in his machinations.

Before we relate this tawdry tale, we want to ask if you've ever regretted assisting a friend as a favor...only to find out that you've been used? Perhaps you didn't think it through since your intent was to do nothing illegal? We believe this is the case with Caitlin Burns Holland and Brad Bolding who worked/partnered with Robinson. 

The sting: Bryan Robinson told potential investors and others that he had purchased approximately 20 defaulted properties in Madison County. Presumably he needed more cash to fix these homes up and sell them for a substantial profit, something known colloquially as "flipping." Robinson approached his investors with the line that he would produce this return in a very short time, that they had nothing to worry about since he would mortgage the properties to them until the sales were made. In other words, if the investors didn't get their money back on schedule, they would take possession of the homes which were worth much more than their investments. 

Robinson then typed, or had typed, these mortgages made out to the various investors, but used the name of a Madison County law firm:

Looks pretty official, doesn't it? The problem is that Bryan Robinson misspelled the name of the firm. It's not "Carlton & Jacobs," but "Cartron & Jacobs":

Logically, wouldn't Robinson have had an employee of this law firm notarize his signature? Yet for those who trusted Robinson, this didn't seem to be a problem...and that became their undoing.

Tomorrow: Bryan Robinson implicates his associates.

Resa Witt has posted on her FB  page that criminal charges have been brought against the deputy who had to escort her husband Terry out of the Colbert County Court House:

We're extremely curious as to just where these charges have been filed. After all she didn't say a complaint, she said "criminal charges," meaning something filed by state or federal government. While we may be curious, we're not going to hold our breath for some record of them to be sent us.
