“STEVE LALONDE” OR “STEPHEN LALONDE” and his accountant and co-conspirator wife “AMY LALONDE” and all his shadow companies and trade names:
“CLOSERPLUS” (closerplus.com), “LOAN NOW” , “CREDIT REPAIR MALL”, “CANON CREDIT”, “DELTA ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC”, “OK CLOSE INC”, all scams. “LALONDE” is nothing short in the making of another “MARTIN FRANKEL”. All a “Ponzi Scheme”, “Emezzlement”, “Credit Repair Fraud”, “Mortgage Fraud”, “Securities Fraud”, “Elderly Abuse”, “Loan Modification Fraud”, “Tax Evasion”, “Money Laundering”, “Mail Fraud”, “Wire Fraud”, “Extortion and Major Racketeering”. His is a rude, people hating, pathologic liar, thief and major “Debt-Beat” . Sickened with greed and never remorseful. Public be aware of this low-life!!!
All set up to screw unsuspecting victims such as investors, the distressed mortgage holders and the credit impaired, public. He has pleaded guilty this year to his “Federal Indictment” of having stolen one (1) million dollars from lenders. He is facing sentencing in December of this year of 2009. Besides facing Federal Jail Time, he is a prime candidate for Deportation from the US, as he is a Canadian Citizen. Although indicted and pleaded guilty, he has not been sentenced yet and he is using this little time to continue his scams and steal from the public via credit repair, loan modification and moving around assets away from his creditors, the Government and IRS and most of all, messing and abusing the “US BANCRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA”.
If it would not be for the “Special Florida Task Force” that set up traps throughout Florida for the species of racketeers and thieves alike, robbing lenders, the public and the mortgage industry, he would have surely grown into a new “Martin Frankel”, another financial disaster. Nonetheless, he had been caught red handed and federally and formally indicted by July 13th of 2009, awaiting sentencing in December. What the Federal Prosecutors, the US Bankruptcy Court of Southern District” do not know yet, is that the one million he stole, that he is indicted for, is only pocket change and the “tip of the iceberg”. He must have ripped the credit seeking public, investors, partners and the like for over 10 million dollars and created misery for the already misfortunate nationwide. When he has companies called “Crossland Credit”..... or something run, run fast as long as you can. Never shake his hand or you will have to count your fingers.
The failures of the US Government to properly regulate and properly enforce the financial industry such as banks and “Wallstreet” but as much the mortgage industry, credit card companies and credit repair industry, is now costing taxpayers trillions, loss of jobs, loss of moral, increased crime rates across the nation. Large and small, all the same crooks, have been allowed for decades to rob the public and the nation of stability and a decent future for all next generations. It is those people from “Countrywide” and small town THIEFS such as “LALONDE” that put the Nation backwards by thirty years as they sucked the soul and life out of the Industry.
“Lalonde” is a “brutal finance predator” is a poster boy for praying on the week and the distressed, the people looking for work, the credit impaired public. He will steal deposits, be on both sides of the fence such as do title, mortgage, credit repair, etc all commingled and not at arms length. The fact that he still sits in an nice new office funded with his ripped off loot still engaging in the credit restoration business, a future felon that has already plead guilty, tells the old story--that the “Federal Government” and the “State of Florida” still has a lot of work to do. There is a disconnect, the Government fails to protect the law-abiding citizens—these financial career criminals are encouraged by the relaxed attitude of the Regulatory Body of the Federal Government Agencies and the State, through their lack of enforcement and injunctive relief to block them to continue their scams. They are all allowed to transform a little and further rip off the public and the taxpayer.
Amazingly, “Steve Lalonde” has managed to keep a core of henchmen such as such as: “Michael Ammundson” (CTO), “Richard Thompson” (CTELO), “David Jones” (IT), “Ed Toro” (Programmer), “Michael Kimble” and the beloved chef or cook his wife, from the accounting department “Amy Lalonde” her best recipes are to evade taxes, hide assets and cook books and destroy incriminating records. They all need to be indicted and sued for co-conspiracy to this racketeering scheme as they all by now know very well what they are part of. They all including, Lalonde need to be bared from working within the financial industry.
Public, Law Enforcement be aware!!!!
