Court: Landrum Committed Fraud

The trials of David Landrum continue after a Chancellor said he committed some fraud while trying to move progress along in one of his developments in Madison County.
Mr. Landrum owns Chestnut Developers, LLC.   Chestnut developed the Chestnut Hill subdivision in Madison County.  Lot sales were slow, so Mr. Landrum asked the Madison County Board of Supervisors to allow him to reduce the size of the lots in the subdivision.  Craig Realty objected since it owned several properties immediately adjacent to the subdivision.  Craig Realty is owned by Charles and Kenneth Craig. Craig withdrew its objections after Landrum agreed to place restrictive covenants on the lots bordering the Craig properties.   An agreement was signed and recorded at the courthouse on December 31, 2009.  

There is just one problem.  Chestnut (Landrum) said in the agreement that it owned Lot 55 in the subdivision and made the lot one of the properties subject to the new covenants.  Unfortunately for Craig, Marguerite Black actually owned Lot 55 since she purchased it from Chestnut Hill on December 18, 2007.  The deed was recorded at the courthouse as well.    Ms. Black sued Chestnut and Craig Realty and argued they had no right to place covenants on property they did not own.   She said the covenants placed a cloud upon her title.   Craig Realty said it did not know Black owned Lot 55 since it relied on "Chestnut's representation that it was the owner of Lot 55."  It filed a cross-claim against Chestnut and sued Chestnut's law firm, Adams & Reese. 

Special Chancellor James Bell ruled that Craig Realty suffered a loss of $30,000 and entered a judgment for that amount against Chestnut.  Judge Bell will hold another hearing to determine whether to award attorney's fees against Chestnut as well.  The Chancellor minced no words in ruling against Chestnut:

Considering all of the evidence presented at trial, Craig Realty proved by clear and convincing evidence all nine (9) elements of a claim for fraud under Mississippi law against Chestnut and/or Craig Realty has met its burden of proof that: Chestnut's false representation to Craig Realty concerning its ownership of Lot 55 of the Subdivision was  grossly negligent and  evidenced a reckless or careless disregard for the rights of Craig Realty.

Attorney Todd Burwell represented Craig Realty.  Andy Clark, Esq. represented Chestnut Developers.   The claims by Ms. Black are still active in the case.  The claim against Adams & Reese was dismissed.   Mr. Landrum is currently embroiled in a court fight with other investors of Livingston Township in federal court.

Wrong attachment, I think.

None of his court cases have been reported to FINRA. Maybe someone needs to tell PFS to update his disclosures.

He has 90 days to update his U-4 from the date of the disclosure.

Landrum better get himself another attorney. One that's not connected at the hip with Rudy and MCEDA corruption.

He's had open case since 2014 that's never been reported before this one.

Is it time to arrest him?

3:42, Long past time - not just for this offense. Hell, if for no other reason, then just on general principles. Scumbag proved he would lie about anything if it advanced his personal agenda back in 2008; evidently it wasn't limited to just politics and also that his lying hasn't stopped.

just how do you attach deed restriction to property that you do not own. That is not even possible or legal. That is some dirty lawyering going one.

Fake town, fake deeds, fake voting records; is there anything real about this guy?

this was the little republican pretty boy who ran for congress several years ago. he had a tv ad where he proudly stated that" im not a lawyer", as if that was some kind of dread disease. turns out he was not even registered to vote in the district he was running in. funny how these pretty boys love to malign members of the bar , but run straight to one of them after they get themselves into deep do-do.

david landrum...... the bozo who ran against gregg harper in 2008 , and it was proven he was not even a registered voter of the district he was running for. proof that the con job follows a fraud everywhere he goes. this poser cant run his own life , but he wanted to go to congress and try to run yours.

At the risk of sounding obtuse, what the hell are FINRA and PFS? Not all of us wear silk underwear.

Landrum ought to clean up that fence line at the intersection of Highway 22 and 463. He doesn't own it but neither did he own Livingston Church Road when he took possession of it.

June 16, 2018 at 9:15 AM, did that make you feel better? Because you don't know what you're talking about! I lived in Madison Co at the time. A former Hinds Co Elec Comm came to work in Madison. Took it upon herself to "clean up" the voter rolls based on her personal knowledge and so-call familiarity. The candidate and his wife were absolutely residents and legally registered voters of Madison Co and the District. The mistake was well publicized. The employee was reprimanded.
For the record, Livingston is a beautiful development that many enjoy.

ICYMI.....FINRA is the regulatory body which all brokers and broker-dealers
must deal with in the course of their investment activities. It's set up to
monitor brokers and their dealers via their compliance department. Of course,
it's much more complicated than what I just described.

PFS is Primerica Financial Services...his BD.

"for the record" this clown is a total fraud. i guess you failed to read what the judge said about his actions. it can hear this little pretty boy screaming right now....'everyone s lying except me!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

June 18, 2018 at 1:56 PM...The issue at hand was not whether he was a registered voter. The issue was that no record could be found of him having voted. When you run for political office, having voted consistently over the years is more important than having simply been registered. A raccoon in polka dot shorts can register. It takes thought and effort to get up and go vote.

But nice try...

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
