When Abraham Goodman, owner of Brookstone Management, refused to pay a US female military veteran, I am not so sure whether Wells Fargo signed up for the level of scrutiny which would be forthcoming. I want to bring the Foreclosurepedia Nation’s attention upon 3362 Dandale Drive, Mobile, Alabama. Dandale is the property which Sheri Murtaugh serviced for Wells Fargo, by and through a work order issued from Brookstone Management. Murtaugh honorably served in the US Army and is a Christian. After months of no pay, over twelve hundred and fifty photos submitted, and multiple requests to be paid by Brookstone Management, Murtaugh was compelled to file a Notice of Intent To Lien upon the Dandale property. When Goodman refused to do anything, Murtaugh filed a formal lien and reached out directly to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). And while Sleepy Secretary Ben Carson browsed his furniture catalog for new purchases, Rome began burning down all around him. Senior HUD officials stated the following,
As opposed to simply paying what Brookstone Management owed, Goodman’s solution was to attack the Christian woman and implemented draconian Arbitration clauses.
Goodman demanded that Murtaugh travel to New Jersey to plead her case. Unphased by Goodman’s demands, Murtaugh fought back and forced Brookstone Management to appear in Alabama.
The original counsel for Goodman was an attorney by the name of Yosef Jacobovitch. The law firm’s website — if it is a law firm — does not work. Jacobovitch additionally has been mentioned to have had a foreclosure as well as
have had Home Owner Association liens filed against him. These, if accurate, are nowhere near as serious as the assistance rendered to Jewish Ultra Orthodox Medicaid fraud offenders in Lakewood, New Jersey. And for years, there has been a playbook executed by the Jewish Ultra Orthodoxy against innocent Minority Females and Labor. This playbook appears to be submit illegitimate chargebacks of funds to which the only appellate process is overseen by the very people whom issue the chargebacks. The fraud is currently unfolding in a New Jersey federal court in the bankruptcy of National Field Network (NFN). NFN, which was operated by Safeguard Properties‘ Chief Operating Officer Alan Jaffa’s brother, Jack Jaffa, both of whom are Orthodox Jews, has been a hot point of contention. Within that case are depositions taken of Jaffa and Sheri Nott, CEO of NFN. Foreclosurepedia has filed multiple Motions and Memorandum Briefs in Support of Law attempting to have made public the statements of both parties.
Jacobovitch represented Lakewood Ultra Orthodox Jews whom medicare fraud in Ocean County. And while speaking outside of one side of his neck screaming allegations of anti-semitism, he gladly negotiated deals allowing his Clients to avoid jail time and pay back pennies upon the dollar. For years, this has been the classic technique in the Industry: Strong arm and take all desired and then, years later, repay only a portion that which was stolen — and then only if the victims have enough money to sue.
After Foreclosurepedia filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with HUD pertaining to the property in question and Jacobovitch’s role in the matter, Jacobovitch disappeared.
Representing Brookstone Management today is Mordechai Gross. And while many may not believe that religion plays a role in the above matter, I do. It is part and parcel about how the internal operating procedures at Safeguard Properties, Bluestone Management, National Field Network, et al., have negatively impacted innocent victims. And in each and every case, the upper tier management has been Jewish Ultra Orthodoxy. When we talk about the litigation from victims and from states Attorney General against these firms and their leadership, I submit that religion is a valid area to discuss.
Foreclosurepedia, on multiple occasions, has invited rebuttal from Jacobovitch, Safeguard Properties, National Field Network, Bluestone Management, and the National Association of Mortgage Field Services (NAMFS). All have refused to even reply to the emails.
In the case of Murtaugh, though, bowing down and taking pennies on the dollar was not in the cards. Below is the Notice of Foreclosure filed against the property,
It would not be fair not to include serial offender Wells Faro. The following is taken from Violation Tracker.
