Bridgewater Goes for Freeze, Bridgewater at Old Agency says Lanes Embezzled Over $340,000

The Ridgway Lane scandal continues to mushroom as more homeowners associations accused the company of embezzling nearly a million dollars from local homeowner's associations it managed. Bridgewater asked a Madison Circuit Judge to freeze all of the assets of the company, David W. Lane, and David L. Lane.  The Bridgewater at Old Agency homeowner's association jumped into the fray today, charging Ridgeway Lane embezzled 343,938 from the  in its own lawsuit filed in Rankin County Circuit Court today. 

The Dinsmor and Palisades homeowners associations stated in notices sent to members that they discovered large sums of money missing from Ridgway Lane-managed accounts as well.


Bridgewater

Bridgewater filed a petition for a temporary restraining order  today in Rankin County Circuit Court.  Bridgewater sued the company as well as the Lanes last week .  The HOA alleges Ridgway Lane took more than half a million dollars from Bridgewater accounts.

The petition asks the Court to freeze all assets and accounts of Ridgway Lane and any of its owners or employees.  The HOA also asked the court to order the defendants to preserve all records. The petition is posted below.

Ridgway Lane managed Bridgewater's affairs since 2014. Suspicions about the handling of Bridgewater funds arose in September when the company provided the audited financial statements to the Board just before its regular meeting began on September 16.   Bridgewater's treasurer, Cindy Dunbar, questioned several items in the financial statements several days later.  She emailed more questions about "material discrepancies" between the Ridgway-created financial reports and the actual bank statements.

One such discrepancy is an alleged $94,928 difference between the bank statement and Ridgway Lane report for the operating account.  She asked for him to respond within 48 hours.  He replied, "I can't possibly meet your deadline."  The lawsuit charges he tried to delay providing more information to Bridgewater to prevent the homeowner's association from discovering the degree of misrepresentation.

The Lanes were the only signatories on the Bridgewater accounts at Community Bank.  Bridgewater attempted to add two more members as signatories but ran into a problem - the Lanes allegedly would not give them access to their own accounts.   Ms. Dunbar's October 29 letter to David L. Lane (posted below) states:


On or about October 18, 2019, Community Bank provided David Lane/Ridgeway Lane with information needed to add signatories to the BOA's accounts with Community Bank.
  On October 21, 2019, the BOA met and authorized Ms. Dunbar, BOA Treasurer, and Erik Hearon, Board President, to become signatories on the BOA accounts at Community Bank.  At this meeting, David Lane/Ridgway Lane communicated his and Ridgway Lane's resignation as BOA's property manager effective January 1, 2010.
Since the October 21, 2019 Board meeting, David Lane/Ridgeway Lane have:

* Failed or refused to cooperate and follow BOA's instructions regarding addition of certain Board members to the BOA's accounts as signatories.

* Failed or refused to provide account balance information.

* Failed or refused to provide access to the Community Bank accounts (according to Community Bank, Ridgway Lane is the "customer" on the account and holds it in trust for BOA and will not grant access to BOA representatives).

* Failed or refused to provide access to BOA records held and maintained by Ridgway Lane.
Baby Lane allegedly wrote Bridgwater checks payable to Ridgway Lane accounts without Bridgewater's approval.

Bridgewater accused Lane and Ridgway Lane of looting more than $100,000 in 2019 from Bridgewater accounts.  A CD for $117,000 allegedly disappeared as well.  Bridgewater claims the total losses are more than $500,000.

The lawsuit seeks damages for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, fraud, unjust enrichment, and negligence. Attorney Roy Lidell of Wells Marble & Hurst represents Bridgewater.  The case is assigned to Circuit Judge Dewey Arthur.  Bridgwater paid Ridgway Lane $1,750 per month to manage the association.


Bridgewater at Old Agency

Bridgewater  at Old Agency sued Ridgway Lane, David L. Lane, and various John Does today in Rankin County Circuit Court.  As with other homeowner's associations, Ridgway Lane managed the Bridgewater at Old Agency HOA for the members.

The complaint accuses Ridgway Lane of reporting on October 15, 2019 that the operating account had $259,150 and the reserve account held $111,221. The aggregate balance was $370,371.  Unfortunately for the HOA of BOA, the actual balances were $635 and $25,753.  BOA said Ridgway Lane didn't maintain its accounts but instead defrauded the homeowner's association.   The difference between the actual and reported balances is $343,983.

Bridgewater at Old Agency apparently had no clue about any of these shenanigans until Bridgewater sues Ridgway Lane and the other defendants.    

 BOA sued for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, fraud, fraud in the inducement, negligence, and unjust enrichment.  BOA also asked for an accounting of all funds and transactions.   The complaint asked for $343,000 in damages and at least the same amount in punitive damages.

Bridgwater at Old Agency asked the court to freeze all assets of the defendants in a motion for TRO today as well.

Attorneys Maison Heidelberg and Chad Welch represent the petitioners. 

Kingfish note: District Attorney nor police can investigate or do anything until a complaint is filed.  The question is whether any of the alleged victims have pressed charges and if not, why not.

I still don't get why an HOA would have six or seven figures in the bank that could go un-noticed. Cut the grass at the entrance and blow the clippings. The rest is just vanity.

Yeah, I know it's Madison. Call me poor for asking.

Maintain the fancy gate and landscaping, power for gates, landscape lighting and streetlights (possibly), street signs, maintenance of clubhouse and pool, insurance, possibly maintenance of streets, security patrol. It adds up quickly.

It's probably a lot like the eastover foundation in northeast Jackson... Certain families give over 25 and 50k each year. I gave 5k this year and I'm considered white trash by the neighborhood on twin lake circle in eastover.

I love seeing rich people getting screwed over for a change. It's very satisfying. It would be interesting if the Lane's have the money in accounts inaccessible to the courts and that they are already in a country without extradition to the USA.

@7:24 PM - Prudent HOA communities have reserve accounts for the renovation of their clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, etc. They also must have reserves for resurfacing streets.

All of these items are expensive, hence the large accounts.


Anonymous said...

In a lot of cases, and depending on the community's amenities, the HOA is responsible for drainage, road maintenance, street lights, and clubhouse and pool maintenance. Figure an average of $200 per household and the dues really add up and can be a temptation for a not-so-honest manager. I don't live in an HOA community, but if I did, I'd demand transparency on how the money was being spent/invested.

Calls to the District Attorney’s office today went unanswered due to holiday. There was no voicemail. Rest assured that a complaint will be filed by this Palisades homeowner as soon as the office opens tomorrow to investigate all involved parties.

I'm not 100% positive, but is it not true that if you truly gate the neighborhood and restrict access, then you have to take responsibility for roads? Which is why many neighborhoods have "open gates"? If so, you would certainly need to build reserves.

Hell... 200 dollars a household? That's nothing. In NE Jackson we pay at least 1k plus certain families pay over 50k annually.

I live in a HOA neighborhood that manages all its own accounts we have a board and all decisions regarding money must be approved by a majority board vote. Which btw is term limited to 2 years must sit off board for a year before being appointed back on board. Our treasures is an accountant that lives in neighborhood. And everyone in board has access to the bank statements and financials. No need for a management company to manage HOA if your board is to lazy to keep up with it and practice due dillagance would not be in their mess.

Fully gated communities are responsible for their streets. I’m sure the reserve account had money in it for street repaving and repairs.

The guy at Broadmoor got away with $300k over three or four years. The lack of accountability at some nonprofit organizations (Churches/HOAs) is ridiculous. The bigger the organization, it seems the less the accountability.

You forgot the part ...for a change because rich people screw people all the time. They just tell themselves they are smarter at business while making money off of those with the least. From overpriced rents to payday lending.

The bible verse let's you know God's sentiments about the rich.

Anonymous said...

8:08pm is correct. Our gated neighborhood has been setting aside money for repaving our streets - it will cost anywhere from $200,000-300,000 depending on oil prices when we have to repave. It is a far smaller neighborhood than Bridgewater so they would have to keep a lot of cash in reserve for their street maintenance.

More HOAs are coming. This thing is going to be the next episode of American Greed.

Bridgewater - Steed Road location - dues are a little over a thousand - twice a year! Guard duties at our guard house gate entrance were terminated to save money. Now we know why there’s no money. The crooks took it all. I agree with a comment in this thread that says an HOA officer should serve no more than two consecutive years, take a year off, and then be forced to run for election again if they want their old job back. Make them earn their title. Prove it that you are competent. Are the board members and property managers trying to pull an ultimate con job in Bridgewater? Dig deep into the finances and services provided. Lots more to discover no doubt. Board members at the HOAs mostly serve their own interests. They run these places with an iron fist to look out for their friends and families. How could a sitting board president never have thought to look into actual bank statements for years until just a few weeks ago? Idiots!

@7:41 Judging someone by where the live only shows your stupidity. Unless you have financial statements from each person to back up your ignorant post, you have no clue if they’re “rich” or not. Maybe they work hard to pay their mortgage to provide the family a nice home and maybe you play on the computer and spend your money on cigs, tattoos & booze. Hate to tell you, but it’s not as simple to say someone is rich or poor according to where they live. The priorities and choices of one person might not be the same as another. You’d rather have a chip on your shoulder about what others have and quote scripture than to realize you’re being a hypocrite. I know people in NEJ and these neighborhoods who are so far in debit and can’t pay their bills. I also know people who juggle several jobs and work hard for what they have. Clean out your ears before you go to church next time because you including a scripture after your comment tells me you’re only hearing what you want to hear.

HOA's generally don't pay for street lights or road paving, but I suppose they can elect to pave the roads. Swimming pools and club houses are very expensive to maintain.

I think the question is not why an HOA might have a half million or a million in the bank, but how can they have so much in the bank that a half million goes unnoticed for any period of time?

I've got news for some of y'all. If you have to go to work, you're not rich. There are very, very few families in Mississippi that are actually wealthy. Sure, there are some families bringing in $500K a year, but it's because they have an earner (or two) at the top of their game who has finally made it to a senior level at work. How long does that last before someone gets ill or gets downsized or the business dries up? Put a couple kids through private school, save enough for them to go to a good college/grad school, and save enough to cover anticipated health care/retirement, and there ain't going to be anybody living off an inheritance. Places like Bridgewater appear a monolithic representation of "the rich" in the mind of some, but what they don't realize is the massive turnover within the neighborhood (go take a look at all the "for sale" signs sometime). Mississippi's got some folks that might string together 5 good years in a row but, if you're really and truly rich, you GTFO of Mississippi.

Just for clarification, are their multiple Bridgewater's? The piece makes it sound like there is Bridgewater Proper and Bridgewater @ Old Agency.

Ridgeway Lane managed multiple Primos Developments for those asking what other Rankin County HOA's may come forth.

Give me the names of gated communities where the municipality has advised they will maintain the streets. If this were the case, how come the Board of Supervisors recently paid to repave the roads in Madison's Northbay where a county supervisor, the mayor's attorney and the new chancellor of Ole Miss live?

And most of these prissy neighborhoods are NOT 'fully gated' and the 'guard shack' is a cosmetic out-house, at best.

The good news for Bridgewater homeowners is bad news for the socialist haters:

A half a million $$$’s divided by the number of lots won't be much of a hit at all to the vast, vast majority of Bridgewater owners.


7:08AM, your comment "We should tax estates at 90% over 1 million and stop treating corporations as people. That way no inherited wealth at all" is idiotic.

Now, if you ever decide to get serious and want to bust up those fake foundations run by trust fund kids like the Kennedy's, Rockefeller's, etc., sign me up.

In case you ever wondered, if a gated community is truly gated and the public does not have access, then the HOA takes over responsibility for the roads. But 3/4's of gated communities have a gate that you pull up to and while you wait for it to open, a camera gets a shot of your tag. Its a great deterrent to crime, but the city or county still maintains the road.

I live in a smal development with an HOA. Our fees are reasonable and are used to maintain the common areas. We don’t use a management company. I’m not really a big HOA fan but it does help keep property values up by requiring homeowners to maintain their property. If you want to put your “junker” on blocks and use your yard to grow hay get 5 acres on route 4, no problem.

I live in a neighborhood in Rankin County that uses Ridgway Lane, but it's a much smaller neighborhood with a much smaller bank account balance.

My suspicion is that false account statements are how this fraud, if true, went undetected by the various HOA Boards for as long as the embezzlement has allegedly been going on.

Our relatives live in Bridgewater. They told us last night the embezzlement situation is not Bridgewater's only money woe. There was some kind of issue with non HOA lake repairs costing the HOA just about as much as the embezzlement amount in question. Do like a lot of us -move out to the country.

Quoting Bible verses selectively out of context is just bad form, especially if you're not even religious. This one is high on the list of those used in this manner.

23And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

So, it is possible, it says it right there (if you're a Bible believer). Might want to back up and punt here.

In an earlier post I asked that someone provide a list (or even the name of one) of the HOAs who have been advised by the municipality that it will NOT maintain sewers and streets in the community. The County recently paid to re-do the streets in Madison Northbay, where golf carts are allowed even though there is no golf course.

I believe I've read that municipalities in the metro all have ordinances that prohibit 'full gating'. If an area is fully gated and the municipality has no responsibility for road maintenance or repair, one might assume the police don't even have the authority to enter. But, I guess those who live in the silk-stocking areas would know more about that than I.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

3:40 is correct. If you listen to the police radio long enough you will occasionally hear PD, FD, or EMS ask dispatch for the entrance code to a gated subdivision or apartment complex.

The dispatcher will read the gate access code back over the radio to the officer. Basically renders a gated community nearly pointless.

Anonymous said...

Yep. I listen to the police scanner and write down each code. Then, I go to the gate and see if it works. If it does, I ride through and look down the driveways or drop someone off to look in unlocked cars. When I returned, the gate had shut and I had to stop and wait on the gate to open. I panicked, so I went out of the gate and came back in. Then, we returned the items we borrowed. I learned that if I have to stop twice, I’m not going back. Just too easy for someone to see me. I’m a police officer and I sell gate codes. All the break-ins that are reported from gated neighborhoods are probably because of me.

Gates are really not pointless. They deter lots of crime because of time and it’s essence.

Are there two neighborhoods? Heck yea - Bridgewater Proper and Bridgewater @ Old Agency. Friends who live in the new part told me the older area closed access to their part of Bridgewater to the newer area so they have to drive around the long way. This is a mess, but the fact that Bridgewater has clear tiers of top and bottom in their new rich neighborhoods is a little funny. Don't know anyone who grew up here that lives there or wants to live there. It's a haven for small town people or out of staters who have been successful and come to the city. People who have the blessing of being comfortable in their own skin/environment have no interest in living in there - even though they can certainly afford it. Pretty obvious with the dropping price point and stagnant sales. I do NOT dislike the neighborhood, just the sad class system where people who do well desperately want to prove it and establish "elite" neighborhoods full of every day people. Nothing wrong with that, but the own internal class structure war in BW does make me snicker a bit.

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.
