Feds Seek Dibiase Mansion

The Million Dollar Man's son apparently has a million-dollar home that the Feds want.  The U.S. Attorney filed a Lis Pendens action in U.S. District Court against the Reunion home of Ted Dibiase, Jr.  on June 22.  However, the underlying case is sealed.  




Dibiase, Jr. and his wife bought the home on November 16, 2018.  The couple borrowed $1,015,000 from Renasant Bank to purchase the home.  The couple must have refinanced the waterfront home because Renasant Bank issued another deed of trust for the same loan amount on January 21, 2020.


The Lis Pendens filing states "The  United  States  of  America  is  seeking  to  forfeit  the  real  property  located  at  115  Rosedowne Bend, Madison, Mississippi."  The Federal online court filing system states the case is sealed when the case number is entered.  The Lis Pendens was filed in the Madison County land records. 

Dibiase, Jr. is the son of former professional wrestling star Ted Dibiase.  Dibiase, Jr.'s brother, Brett, was indicted for conspiracy and making fraudulent statements. Brett was a DHS employee.  DHS funds were allegedly used to pay $48,000 for his drug treatment program.  The Dibiases appear several times in the DHS scandal.  JJ reported:

* MCEC & FRC often used same vendors and gave grants to same parties.  Davis allegedly ordered them to award contracts and grants to specific recipients.  No competitive bidding took place.

*  The two non-profits paid $250,000 to Priceless Ventures.  The company is owned by Ted Dibiase, Jr. (p.23).  The two companies paid another $500,000 to Priceless.  FRC awarded another contract to Priceless for $500,000.  Priceless was paid with SNAP funds.

* FRC signed a million-dollar contract with Familiae Orientem, LLC to create a RISE program.  The company is owned by Scott Elliot in Meridian.  Actual payments were $700,000.  (p.23)

* Then there is Ted Dibiase's Heart of David Ministries. The audit states:

Additionally, these subgrants were made at the express direction of former Executive Director JD, and the son of the Executive Director of HOD was employed as a Deputy Administrator at MDHS when the initial contract to HOD was awarded.

The 2017 subgrant, from May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, was for $500,000; an additional subgrant, from May 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018, was for $1,500,000. The FY 2019 subgrant, from October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, was for $1,562,500. Actual payments were $271,349 in FY 2017; $900,000 in FY 2018 and $756,224 in FY 2019. These costs are questioned in Finding 2019-032.
Dibiase, Jr. is not under indictment.  The home is currently listed for sale at $1.575 million.

Hmmmm so if they get the house I’m thinking I can get for 375k to 450k. Trying to be like Rick Ross who bought Holifield’s mansion for a steal lol

Now that’s a mansion. This house is nice in its own right.

Hmmmmmm again.

The standards for what are considered a "mansion" in Mississippi are very low. That looks like an oversized Acadian style Tyvek wrapped OSB tornado magnet.

Mansions are made of materials that you can't buy at the Home Depot.

$1 mil for that? Surely not?

Shallow people argue over “mansion” when the owner conned MS residents out of money for the poor and much more.

Y’all get to church Sunday....dress nice....big church now....listen to the pastor.....

Then go eat a big lunch and go to the pool

Oh Christ? Who?

Billions are squandered on the poor. You live long enough you will realize they are poor because they have poor decision making abilities. They can't plan beyond their daily impulses and habits.

There are entire shitholes loosely organized into barely functional states just full of stupid people who cant figure out how to work out basic civilization. Go cry me a river, bleeding heart.

To a Mississippi redneck who is one generation outside the trailer park, the style has the aura of sophistication they've seen on the North Shore of Lake Ponchatrain.

If the Feds take it, will they have to pay off the 1st mortgage? The Fed may end up with very little for their efforts.

This appears to be a mighty fine house. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Renasant apparently is on the hook if (when) they sell below this mortgaged amount. There appears to be zero equity at the asked price. If I wanted this house (and I don’t) I would low ball this price and wait until the bank decides to unload this depreciating asset, and they will sooner than later. Banks don’t like having to report repossessed assets to the FDIC.

Why would anyone want to own a $1 Million+ house in the Jackson, MS area?

Anonymous said...

Nice house, but no where near mansion status.

Sorry for the innocent members of the Dibiase family.

But I can't help but imagining what the old school WWF players would say/do ?

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin would probably move two Ready Mix trucks into the back window . . . unload wet cement . . . and scream "Oh Hell Yeah" !

Dwayne "The Rock " Johnson would hop on a resin porch pineapple . . . and scream "do you smell what the Rock is cooking"

Vince McMahon would swear to the anyone that would listen . . . he is not Al Gore's twin brother.

There is a lot of money to be made in Mississippi on payday loans and kidney dialysis. If you have to live here and you are earning millions then why would you choose to live in a doublewide or Section 8 housong like your customers?

Looks like the house is “pending” on realtor dot com. I guess that could mean “pending” fed takeover.

Closer to a Tract Shack than a mansion in most places.

@11:19, I watched it in real time. My ex’s mom would get her “disability” check and head straight to Dollar General, come back with 20 cases of Windex because “I had this thar coupon that if ya buy so many cases you get that many cases free.”


Me: “Why do you need so much Windex?”

Her: “Theyze havin a sale”


Her 2 days later: “I’m broke as a joke, I just gotta wait on my next “ability” check”

Sweet lady, dumb as fuck

I agree with 12:38.
Moved here from out of state a while back and have never understood the fascination with French Acadian architecture, especially in the cookie cutter subdivisions. Unless it is a Hays Town or located in Louisiana where the French Acadians actually settled, it Is just trendy and dumb.

It's common knowledge that any man thinking about marriage, should spend at least one year studying his Girlfriend's Mother.

Thirty years after the wedding, there's a 95 percent chance the little bride today will not only look like her Mom, but will act just she like her.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, only a fact.

I heard the advice you are giving before I got married. My wife is sweeter and more intelligent than her mother. But she gained 50 pounds within five years of our marriage and she is now roughly the same size as her mother.

Yep.
However many of us guys also gain as much or more weight.

Back on topic:

If Queen Mary would permit "The Undertaker" and " kane" to have an old fashioned cage match at the Strawberry Park in Madison the City . . . the Dibiases and lending institutions might make enough money to settle this fiasco.

8:34: Dibiase boys have always been super friendly, but I guess once you get a taste of extreme living, it’s just hard to be a normal person with average things laying around.

I can’t tell if you are joking, but Reunion is full of wannabe con-artists, polyester car salesmen , and Sunday Eve Sluts. Good people in there as well. I laugh every time I see someone wearing a collard shirt with Reunion sewed onto the chest. I was eating lunch one day and behind me were two guys discussing their recent Home Equity Loan to pay for their membership at Reunion. Interest rates on a HELOC were around 7%. I’m beginning to think the same thing about the increasing number of Prep, JA, & MRA logos on all the new Audi cars. Y’all need to remember that if you gotta spend money you don’t have, to stay friends with your neighbors, you might wanna consider getting new neighbors. Real friends don’t give a shit if your wife’s engagement ring is .138 karats.

HAVE A GRATEFUL DAY.

It's not the house, you dumbasses! It's the location, smack-dab on the water. People in this area have an exact sort of fascination with water and boats. The style of the house is meaningless.

These are the places where you can string all manner of outdoor lighting, sit beside outdoor fireplaces on large patios, raise stems of Cold Duck, comment on the lights across the lake and clutch pearls....and slap mosquitoes.

Only commoners would live elsewhere.

A misleading headline; but that's no surprise.

The feds are not seeking the Dibiase "mansion", they are seeking the property. Your calling it a mansion I guess because it has a list price of $1.5M is a stretch (hell, a Reunion lot sells for 25% of that).

Its far from being a mansion in any sense of the word, even in Mississippi.

In order to qualify for 'mansion' status, this house would have to be duplicated at least once, maybe more.

We do have some true mansions in Mississippi - some built pre-civil war and some built from and since the dot.com bubble.

Nice house if you like the style, nice lot. But a mansion its not.

5:22 must be the house with the Christmas lights. The HOA is up in arms over those lights as they are not appropriate. Lights that blink to the tune of Frosty The Snowman are specifically prohibited in The Handbook.

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.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
