Does Something Smell here??
A Tale of Two Texas entities and
First National Bank Edinburg:
Pelon, LLC is managed by former FNB CEO Saul Ortega and Cielo Realty Partners, LLC is managed by Rob Gandy Jr, son of Robert Gandy (Ortega's predecessor at FNB).
Did either of these two entities purchase or acquire properties from the substanital OREO list that FNB had prior to its September 2013 closure?
And if they did, what kind of terms to they get? Was there preferential "pricing" that they received? Was there a loan committee that approved these loans? Did they go through the same underwriting that all loans do?
Is it coincidence that Ortega forced an Edinburg businessman to take 2 properties from the FNB OREO list and one that his entity owned in order to obtain a loan with 100% financing? Does it make you wonder any more about how and why Jadon Construction out of Edinburg acquired a defunct development property about 300 miles away known as Tundra Village with 100% financing?
Wow, it would be fun to see how many properties from the former FNB OREO list made its way over to entities that were owned or controlled by former FNB officers or their families.....don't you think?!?!
Or maybe, just maybe, would any of these properties have any strings attached to them by Texas National Bank or Colorado Valley Bank? (You do the research and figure out why these banks are listed here)
Maybe soon we'll learn more about the extensive family of FNB......
What happened to the lawsuit? I heard Martinez got sued by his own clients and then all the other attorneys quit?

ReplyDeleteThe feds are reopening the investigation against the crooks who were running FNB. Robert Gandy III, the former President, is back at it again. The investigation centers around properties sold to and loans obtained by none other than....his son Rob Gandy, IV. His company is Cielo Realty Partners. They are interviewing former bank employees about the shenanigans that Gandy and his son undertook in the years leading up to the eventual bank failure. They are looking back at transactions as early as 2007-2008.
ReplyDeleteSaul Ortega deep throats David Rogers.
ReplyDeleteMNB Ventures deep throats Saul Ortega.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of deep throating has been going on here for years.
ReplyDeleteThe whole board of MNB Ventures needs to be investigated. All text messages between every board member and Saul Ortega needs to be scrutinized.
ReplyDeleteSaul Ortega if banned from banking, if that same board remains, its as if nothing happens. Saul Ortega will still be running the bank. They need to look at the relationship between Ricardo Perez and Saul Ortega. Their relationship goes back to the 90s. Ricardo illegally would take City, County Commissioners, School Board members to Dallas Cowboys, Spurs games. Now Ricardo is chairman of MNB Ventures, the fix is in.
ReplyDeleteTheir deep throating skills are better than Linda Lovelace deep throating skills.
