The calls or letters to every level of the Police Department received no return call
or response (examples below).
In April 2015, a complaint was filed with the NC Bar Association against attorney Steven E. Black
(Case #15G0371). As of February 2017 (two years later), no action has been taken but the case has not
been dismissed. A copy of the quarterly form letter from the NC Bar Association is attached.
Greensboro SBIs Special Agent in Charge, Scott Williams received six (6) letters and documentation
in the fall and winter of 2015. In November, Williams wrote to WSPD Detective R.E. Workmen
directing him to locate Association bank accounts and balances. When the Detective gave a fragmented
report, it documented even further fraud. After the November report, SAC Williams will not return calls
or letters made / sent by three (3) different Association Members.
After more than a year expanding the documentation beyond the association and the state, an attempt to
file a telephone report with the Charlotte office of the FBI was made on May 15, 2016 at approximately
4:30 pm. More effective than describing the

that her location was on the east coast.
It can be corroborated that at least one suspected Board Members had copies of the police report back-up
documentation within a month of the filing the report. After months of excuses and misrepresentations,
recordings of various conversations may be available in order to document and substantiate claims.
PLEAS FOR ASSISTANCE
EXAMPLE
Letters were signed by multiple HOA Members seeking assistance
with a reasonable request for a legitimate law enforcement fraud investigation.
No acknowledgement or response.

WSPD
A 100-page complaint was made against the Detective for lack of any legitimate law enforcement
investigation. Five months later, the WSPD responded that their internal investigation had revealed a
procedural matter; consequently, appropriate action was taken.
However, despite this admission, there has been no further action. Except for the announcement made by
the suspected Board Members in the March/April 2016 Association newsletter, there has been no
communication to any of the ten (10) Members signing their support of the initial police report.
Apparently, only the suspects and their attorney were informed. The growing number of accounting, real
estate and fraud experts that have reviewed the evidence refute the newsletter announcement below.
