Great job KF! There is a special place in heaven reserved for you! Stay the course!

Why in the world would he think he could get away with trying to move assets when frozen? Mr. Lane, your shuffling days are O V E R!

Any word on status of criminal investigations? Our HOA advised us the Rankin DA became involved a week ago.

The older David Lane also owns a Condo in Chicago he just bought a few years ago (his wife is from Chicago) and he owns a place in Oxford also (most likely all in his wife's name).

As usual, there ain't no paddle in this creek.

"Why in the world would he think he could get away with trying to move assets when frozen?"

Rules of Desperation. Rule #1: Desperate people do desperate shit. Not to mention he did what his attorney advised him to do.

Goddamn you KF and your uneducated hate filled lynch mob reading this crap blog. You have no idea what David and Bethany and all are going through. You are a trash wanna be journalist that’s trying to provoke people and stir shit instead of letting process play out. Special place in HELL for your sorry ass

KF goes from heaven at 3:20 to hell at 5:28 posting. Wonder what David Lane was going through when he was stealing all this money? If these allegations are true, there has to be a special place in hell for his sorry ass!

You have no idea what David and Bethany and all are going through.

You are correct. I have absolutely no experience with the extreme panic that sets in after it has been exposed that I was involved in embezzling millions of dollars of others people's money to which I had no legal right to steal. I don't know in the least what it is like to go through that.

Clearly Jesus told him to fraudulently transfer his real estate to his wife.

Chill @5:28- KF is just telling the truth. The Lanes should have considered the consequences to their actions. If someone had taken financial advantage of them, their attorney would have eaten them alive!!

@5:28PM

Wow....

Lighten up, Francis, before you hurt yourself.

Hahaha dayum @5:28! You mad bro?!? Is that you David Lane??

All trollin aside, the truth is the truth so don’t shoot the messenger (i.e. Kingfish) for reporting facts. David Sr and Jr created a sh*t storm of their own making. The Lanes just need to accept that they about to lose everything they own and will spend a few years in the cell block with Bubba.

THANK YOU 5:28. I HATE THE MOTHER FUCKER.

Folks down on the farm at Parchman will be like


You done what?

@5:28 PM David is that you? Bethany? I am sure you are having a tough time trying to hide your assets from the TRO. That can be very stressful. We all feel your pain.

Life's a biatch, including for all of the local HOAs that lost tens of thousands of dollars.

Woooweee, Fish.

Sure got the vitriol flowing at you tonight...plumb hostile, even!

I can’t help but picture these looney haters of KF, and the TRUTH, looking like clones of bug-eyed Schiff.

Seriously, though, why are you so angry over the truth? KF didn’t steal the money. The Lanes did!! They are going through the aftermath of their choices and actions. If the wives are suffering, you should blame their husbands. They know what they did. You do, too. I presume that’s why you’re so angry. You look foolish. Just stop.

Settle down 5:28 and 6:15. When all you have in your vapid life is a meaningless blog, you celebrate the useless endeavor (and get your groupies to do the same).

I don't know either of the David Lanes. But I have known Bethany for years. She has never been anything but an honest, kind hearted, lady. She worked in the dementia unit at St Catherine's for years taking care of the elderly. She took phone calls from concerned family members on nights and weekends. She went above and beyond to help our family through a difficult time. David has to face what's coming to him. But my heart breaks for Bethany.

My hat is off to KF on this one. Takes a lot of time and effort to gather all of this and share it.

Why aren't the 5:28's of the world mad at WLBT, WJTV, WAPT and that liberal rag that calls itself a daily "newspaper?" Oh yea, they get their stories from Kingfish's page. If any of them had broken the story would 5:28 be pissed off at them? I doubt it.

Likewise, I had no idea what Commissioner Epps and his wife were going through after it was revealed that he was involved in a deep, criminal enterprise of his own design. I should have backed off in my judgment, not assumed guilt and sat back and enjoyed my popcorn as it played out over the course of five years. And Jesus would have had me pray for the Epps couple because even good people can be led astray and make poor choices. Plus Mrs Epps is a very good woman and has been a pillar of her neighborhood for awhile.

Disclaimer here: I am a plaintiff (member of Diplomat Condo Assn). It appears someone has stolen from me, and naturally, I do not appreciate it. Further, I am not especially sympathetic to the feelings of the thieves, if this is what Lane and his ilk are. I, for one, appreciate the updates, KF. May the wheels of justice turn . . . .

Irony is lost on this crowd.

I would remind everyone that many wives are completely ignorant about their husband's business dealings. That is especially true of those who were married before "women's lib" took root.
I would also point out that a few decades ago, less than 4% of females in Mississippi had even 1 year of college so understanding of finance was not going to happen unless a woman became self-educated.
I have many widowed friends who'd never balanced a checkbook and trusted their husbands completely when asked to sign documents. This was a disservice rather than a kindness and for some, a disaster.
I have no idea "What Bethany knew or when did she know it?" and I doubt those commenting do either.

Obviously if David lane was involved he needs to pay the price but I always feel sorry for the persons family. I have known several people whose parent has embezzled monies and how it devastates the whole family. People will be mean and rude to the Lane extended family. They will find invites dropping off and people avoiding the like the have a disease. Usually most of the family knew nothing about the crime. This is something else the crook didn’t don’t consider or care about when committing the crime.

I learned a long time ago this fact...

If you break the rules... the rules will break you.

Lane will join the Madoffs, Ebbers, Epps..and Enron Alumni..
in the slammer.

Maybe Lane can bunk with Lamar Adams.

Experience covering this stuff over the years is the families usually don't know what is going on. Think about it. A wife may see everything in her husbands checking account but unless she is the business manager for his business, she probably doesn't see the inner workings of what he does for a living. For example, the wife in the Evans Brothers case had no idea. The day he got sued by MVT, he walked out on his family, while cleaning out their accounts of course. They never saw him until he was sentenced and that was because they came to court. Thankfully the wife was once a nurse so she could fend for herself. That's just one example. Too often the families are left destitute. Little money, no home, and must find a way to take care of themselves.

I agree that it sucks for the families, but that’s not the public’s fault. Their loved one’s created their situations. I’m sure the Mrs. both have people they can turn to for support. The hubby thieves trying to give them assets after the fact is neither valiant nor just. It’s illegal and wrong. It’s not the public’s fault they may have to reduce their standard of living. That’s what us regular folks have to do when times are tough.

Speaking of not knowing anything... I wish I knew more about Ridgway. Why did they part ways? Why did he remain within the partnership legally? Just a couple of months ago, his status changed from member to manager (sounds more involved to me)... why? Did he know something was amiss before he left? Did he leave and not cut the cord out of loyalty to Lane, Sr.? IF he knew ANYTHING, he should be held equally accountable. I’m curious to see how far back missing funds can be proved and how that fits timeline of Ridgway’s departure.

I don't buy the notion that 'the wives' don't know what's up. They may not know of be involved in the inner workings of the crime, but, at best, they're enablers.

I may not know where my daughter gets the weed or how much she spends on it, but if I do her laundry and see all the stems and seeds in her pockets and watch her coming home stoned every night, I'm enabling the behavior.

Some of you want to portray these spouses (and in other cases) as little obedient Oriental women paddling along, three feet behind the husband as they leave Wal Mart.

I understand where you are coming from but we will respectfully disagree.

These wives may not know the details, but they have no problem spending the ill gotten proceeds. I mean, really, how much profit can someone realize managing a few HOAs?

I will respectfully disagree with the notion that their hands are clean.

"Wow honey, you made $1,000,000 profit this year managing a few HOAs. That is incredible."

The fact that he tried to quitclaim his property the day of the TRO shows there is no remorse. He's admitted he stole, and he's trying to keep it. WHY IS THIS PERSON NOT IN JAIL?

Apparently, in Mississippi, it is acceptable to commit white collar crime! Mississippi is in the middle of an epidemic of embezzlement and
Ponzi schemes.
