First off if you ask Dave "Dane" about this report he will say oh it's a crazy disgruntled employee or a woman scored but listen to your instinct and let his actions speak for themselves.  His 1st action is to promise you a chance to make millions "your ship has come in".  He recruits people to find deals for him with people that are willing to pay $25,000 due diligence fees.  He will not sign anything for you as to that agreement.  You bring him deals and he tells that person seeking funds that he is summa c*m laude. Yet ask him to see a copy of it, he will say yes and never deliver.  He will give you a fast closing date for your deal but when the time comes he will be missing in action and if you push him on it he will say that you do not push people making the million dollar deals and it makes you look like an amateur when the truth is there is no deal.  He takes the cash and can turn it down for ANY reason with no refund.   Keep in mind. He has not signed a thing for you. Buyer beware.

Dave Musk is hiding his identity and calling himself Dane Musk now.  Since reading Ripoff I discovered that the name change was about the same time that he was/is criminally charged by the FBI according to the Ripoff Report.  Plus if you google Dane Musk this stuff does not show but it does under Dave Musk.  This is why I feel the need to get it out under Dane Musk too.

Originally, He contacted me claiming to be a fellow Beneficial Finance employee. He asked me to work with him stating that he is legitimate and claimed that he has been written up in magazines to prove it.  I was not able to obtain proof of the existing magazines only articles that he faxed to me. 

After doing research on him I found many red flags.  Yes, he did have a brooker license at one time but it is expired over 2 years ago.  His website has also been shut down.  I was able to look up his address on the county website but when he cammed me the inside of his home it was bare, like he was squatting.  He place may be empty because he is on the run from the FBI. I do not know.

He is now collecting $25k "due diligence" fees in behalf of a company called Trilateral http://www.trilatcd.com/index.html  He sent me a list of the investors.  I was only able to verify the name of one person and they are only a contractor.  I was not able to find a single deal that they did and when I research the business I discovered that the website is new.  I asked him for references and he made the excuse that their deals were private.  Legitimate companies show example deals. And there are magazine write ups.  Not only could I Not find any write ups. I could not even find a local newspaper write up on Dave.  If he is the go-getter that he claims there would be articles.... even advice columns or blogs... he has nothing.

He claimed to be able to turn funds around for investments in a matter of days but when I sent him a deal he kept stalling.  I was in contact by other people that have also sent him deals and he was not able to show a single closing.

He wanted me to visit him and said that he would pay for a visa but when the time came he was missing in action.  Again he offered me some funding to start my business but again after I shared sensitive information with him he said oh no, I would never do a website deal.  He knew that it was a website deal before I shared my information.  He came up short time and time again. 

He also refuses to sign NDNC agreements and his phone, fax number and e-mail addresses are often changing.

He claims that he is in Madeira Portugal for several months out of the year but would not show me his view from his window and he is in none of the photographs that he claims of places that he has visited in the UK.  His UK time is still the same as his USA time.  Hmmmmm?

He has sent me forwarded e-mails of funds that he claims that he has received but when I examined the header of the e-mails they were not forwarded.  He has several different cell phone numbers and is always in fear that people will find him, claiming that when he is not able to fund someone they get mad. That people are out to get him. (Well, no wonder).

On a side note. He claims to have an IQ of 164 but his vocabulary is very crude, even offensive at times.

There are many more lies but they are in more of a personal nature.  Speaking of which, I have promises of his in e-mails or IMs that he has sent. If you are an attorney please contact me.  He offered me $100k on one thing and $250k on another project.  Again, empty promises and it is your fault, not his. Look deeper David "Dane" Musk is a fake.

Nebraska Man Convicted of Wire Fraud in Connection With Real Estate Development Scheme

(Source: FBI) - United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announce the following information for the attention of the media:

David Lane Musk, age 53 of Omaha, Nebraska, was found guilty by a United States District Court jury on three counts of wire fraud. Musk was indicted by a federal grand jury on fraud charges relating to a scheme to defraud individuals seeking funding for large real estate development projects.

Musk was operating out of a west Omaha location under the business names of Pavilion Capital Group or Pavilion Commercial Group. Musk represented to people seeking private equity funding that he had connections with a number of investor funds which could be used to finance such projects. Musk represented to each of the principals for the development projects that his connections to those with money required a complete FBI and Interpol background check for each prospective principal of the development projects. Musk charged $600 for the background checks with full knowledge that he did not have any connections to the equity funding sources he claimed to represent. Further he did not have the ability, nor intention, to procure FBI or Interpol background checks.

Musk, who has a 2001 felony conviction for identity theft, is subject to the maximum sentence of 60 years of incarceration and a fine of $750,000. Judge Joseph F. Bataillon allowed Musk to remain free on release conditions which include Musk taking down all Internet websites he has used in connection with the marketing of his real estate business under his true name, David Lane Musk, or under any other name that he has used, including Dan Musk and Pavilion Capital or Pavilion Commercial. Judge Bataillon set sentencing for August 3, 2012.

I knew it!!!

AUTHOR: Jill - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, January 05, 2011

I knew that it was you that wrote at least the last two posts "DANE". I can tell the way that you speak to people and the lies that you spin. Now others will know too before dealing with you so I have achieved my goal of warning them.

If people had cash reserves they could go to a bank for funding.

The deal that you claim to have denied, this is what he wrote to me...

"they want 10% cash + 10 000 euros up front fees"

"They have only one intention ... To collect all money upfront ... Then nothing"

I asked how he found out and he said "by my solicitors" which are his attorneys.

Either he or you gave me copies of the term sheet that you sent to them with the approval and upfront fee request and you did not even meet him. I have proof. Where is yours?

Keep writing people will see more of the real you and more red flags.

What you wrote here is all they need to know...

Jill M. Vitaluna strike three,you are now out.

AUTHOR: James - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 04, 2011
Jill M. Vitaluna,

I rest my case,after you posted this. People now can see what is what.
We will gladlyprove things to principals of projects we desire to partner with for funding success that meet our group's focus.
More schooling for you,a real estate broker and landlord named Jill:
Skin in the gamewith currentlack of cashequals poor management and a denial.
It is logical and common knowledgethat you have to have reserves to work with a private equity partner,especially in this market with qualitylines out the door. We can pick and choose only the best projects we desire.
Your only goal here is to tie Dane into someone with a common name to defame him and our group and create drama for your own personal folly. We are not amused. There is no crime here.
Again principals deal directlywith the equity group on sensitive informationand not the gate keeper facilitator,so it really does not matter. He is just the doorman,so treat him verywell if you want to get into the building to get your project considered for a draw stage success. Dane does well for us and we like him.
BTWJill, we bothknow your "brokered"project was completely denied for lack of ROI's and cash reservesand we did not ask for $10,000.00. We found out thatyou told your client that was needed for you to proceed. Shame on you Jill for trying to collect up front charges and shame on your for causing all this trouble here. I hope people check you out fully on any rental or home purchase transaction they consider.As you posted "I though about what people might think about me writing and if it could come across as unprofessional" Well,yes we alldo,Jill.

Prove it

AUTHOR: Jill - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 04, 2011

There is no anger in what I wrote. Only facts. The reason that I even wrote it is because David and Dane is trying to change his identity and no long be connected with all of his bad press. Do a search under "Musk" and you will find that I am not the only one.

I am curious as to why you would say that I am scored. I guessed that David would say that because he always has excuses that just do not pan out. If he is in a long term relationship as you say, how could I be scored. Yet, he did tell me that he is not in a relationship so I guess that is another red flag.

You say that I am mistaken but have yet to prove any of it. If fact this letter sounds like something that Dave wrote himself.

So prove it. You say that you are not new. Prove it. You want people to pay for DD but they already have skin in the game.

You did Not deny my birddog project. You approved it and wanted $10k to move forward without looking at it further. More red flags.

After writing back and forth with Dave for several months I feel that your wording here is David's too. You think that people do not express themselves uniquely then you are incorrect again. The more that you write the more red flags are raised for people.

Again, I am telling people to review it for themselves and verify, verify, verify.


I though about what people might think about me writing this and if it could come across as unprofessional to raise red flags for people but I think that people would care more about making sure that they are not scammed and wasting a lot of time as I have done. I think that they would appreciate anyone that wants to help them. That is why most sites now have comments for items. A time will come when private lenders will have comments left in a more professional way but for now this will have to sufficient.

Jill M. Vitaluna aka Jill Jones is wrong again.

AUTHOR: James - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 04, 2011
Jill M. Vitaluna,

You sound like maybe you are coming around logically now and angering down over a man who was just trying to do business with you and nothing more,as you desired muchmore from him.Hell has no fury as a woman's emotional scorn. What you say about the state of affairs of the banking industry is true,but you use this bad press to defame us.

Dane is his name and Daneis nice and intelligent, avery goodman,isin a serious long term lovingrelationship with a very nice pretty intelligent kindlady who is only a few years younger than him.He is a father of a beautiful daughter and now a cute grand daughter is in his life.Dane is walking around free as can be,enjoying lifeand in no trouble at all. he submits many projects and helps train and organizeour facilitation staff as a manager. Dane had a mortgage license at one time,but let it go,as he does not need to do low level,low profitresidential mortgage loans anymore. You are somistaken in all you write.
You posting emotional uneducated blasts on the Internet on lame sites like thishurts all and makes you look lowly andless than who you might be. Your constant ramblings here are most distressing as you try to defame Dane and who is part of us. OurExcel basedapplication is his application and is concise and in order with perfect structure,as you claim otherwise. We manage and structurethe money for wealthy individuals,so we are the private equity group as you claim otherwise.


 


We always ask for executive summaries first as you lead to think we do not. We waste no one's time. Due diligence varies in costs per project andis not collected until many (not just one) face to face meetings with legal counsels presentthat willlead to release of references and funded tombstones after we are sure the new project principals are trustworthy.


 


We want someone we desire to partner.We do not loan money,nor offer securities. We are not regulated by government. We partner with a project and help it succeed. We have no complaints about us nor any on goinggovernment investigation about us. We are transparent. We turn many away just with a look at an executive summary or after a phone call who do not meet our focus with no fees collected what so ever. We arejust intelligent andcareful about who we deal with,as we do not want anyone to pose as us and take from people. We make friends no enemies and Dane does a great job as our top facilitator. You are his only private equitycomplaint. Dane does not sign agreements for our group,as he is a facilitator and not a principal. Occasionally he might sign a confidentiality agreement,but in most cases it is avoided and not necessary,as Dane is paid directly from our group only and has no up front fees.


 


Our company is not new. You are just flinging more mud to see if it sticks. We justhave a new web site and we reorganized our corporate structure a few years ago for better tax advantages and adding new principals. You forgot to add wealso relocated last yearto another largerprestigious locationfrom our northern business financial district to the downtown historicsouthern district to be more visible. In factwe are now inthe most prestigious businessaddresslocation in this major city.


 


Your ramblings again are motivated by not so much protecting the public,as you have lost nothing but some time as we denied your brokeredproject for obvious reasons without any fees collected,but your drive isemotional vindication to stir the pot against Dane. You had your freedom of speech glory,please move on witha healthy mind set in yourlife now and be well.

Dave aka Dane Musk

AUTHOR: Jill - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, December 31, 2010

You are correct; you do not need a license but Dave aka Dane presented himself originally to me as someone with a license.

Your reply sounds nice but it doesn't change the fact that when I was working with him he will not give references or show funded projects. He said many times that he would not sign anything. His applications and processing paperwork is poorly done in excel or word.

There is still a Due Diligence fee. It was $25k. This is just a guess but I am guessing that you will look at any project that can pay the fee and do not look at projects that cannot. Why don't you take the fee after you fund? I would think that lenders that do deals regularly would have a staff at their disposal. Generally, it only takes 5 minutes to see if a deal is worth pursuing and doing more research on. That is why most lenders ask for an executive summary first.

Private lending is changing now that the banks are no longer lending the way that they were. It is a larger market and the lenders are smaller individuals now. Someone needs to help people seeking funding and the investors from being ripped off. The Securities and Exchange does not protect these individuals with private funding. I understand that being a large company allows the luxury of charging a Due Diligence fee but with no references, referrals or funded projects it reads scam when they do not prove who they are and what they have done or even a verification of funds.

The company that I referenced to before is new and the website is new. When you say underwritten and managed this brings up another red flag. David aka Dane represents himself as working directly with the private lender not an insurer or manager.

Of course there is a large pipeline of people seeking investors the banks simply are not lending like they use to do. When I was working with David I had people contacting me regularly. This leaves the door open for unscrupulous people to take advantage of the real entrepreneurs and the underfunded inventors. The Moms, Dads, youth and professionals that are just trying to better themselves, contribute to the world and make a small place in history. They are desperately crying for help to fulfill their dreams and poised for people to take advantage of them.

I have said before for people to make up their own minds to just do the research and I gave them some of my red flags. The ripoff report that Dave aka Dane wrote of me just shows part of who he is. Did you read what he wrote? There is a nice side of Dave aka Dane or I would not have worked with him for so long. What I have written is only a fraction of the red flags that I did disclose and there is a whole can of worms. Unlike Dave aka Dane's report of me, mine are what I have observed not whatever vile thing that I could imagine.

It is also true that even scammers sometimes find real deals Madoff and Raffaello Follieri come to mind. Dave aka Dane has yet to show me that he is real and again I am simply telling people to judge for themselves and be careful. Ask for references, deals funded, proof of funds and speak to an attorney.

Dane Meets Our Standards

AUTHOR: James - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, December 28, 2010


Private equity does not require a mortgage broker license since this is private verifiable partnerships and not a security offering or a loan of any kind.{Private equity joins the project as a partner to help for project draw success.





Dane is a real facilitator who connectsproject principals to the private equity principals and is paid "only" by the private equity group directly persuccessful drawand not the project principals. There are no up front fees required for term sheets,face to face meetings with legal counsel presentand draw schedules. Perhaps Dane might have collected small $600.00 processing fees early on,but he does not now,refunded any collectedand we "the private equity group"cover his processing expenses per submission directly to him.





For over 15 years this private equity grouphas underwritten & managed more than $20B of international assets. This private equity groupwas founded bythree business innovators at the beginning of the new millennium & has evolved from an initial advisory focus to the existing management concentration.





This group seeks to create progressive relationships and long-term revenue projects. This is accomplished through the skills and devotion of our extraordinary people and flexible capital.

Our asset management businesses model includes:

Precious Metals


Real Estate Title
Intellectual Property

We also provide various strategic advisory services, including:

Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions Advisory
Restructuring and Reorganization Advisory
Project Management Advisory

Dane is intelligent,professional and very proficient in connecting qualified clients with our group as a gate keeper. We enjoy his referrals and stand behind him and his work. You are not wiring money to Danenor giving Dane any information that would be at risk to your security. Your generic executive summary is all that is needed to see if your project meets our standards,then a phone conference call or meetingwith Dane to discuss your submission.





We do not deal direct with the publicand only use qualified referredfacilitators who screen out projects that are not meeting our vision. Dane meets our standards. We are in no need of any more facilitators,asDane has supplied us with a rather large pipeline. It is very safe and secure working with Dane and his past is of no consequence to what he accomplishes for you to get your project in draw stages,whetherhis pastis a good or bad past. It really does not matter and his namedoes not matter if successful results are achieved for your project.





I am surprised this site allows nonsense to be postedfromnovists. This woman is way off base,delusional and is clueless about many things with her personal attacks perhpas due to some personal issues.Her wild posts are actionable as defamation and we will pursue action.

Returning the favor

AUTHOR: Jill - (USA)

POSTED: Monday, December 27, 2010

David Musk aka Dane Musk has filed a report against me in retaliation of my report against him. I find this amusing and disturbing. It is amusing because it only proves what I have said about him is true. I find it disturbing that someone could write such things. Affairs and boasting? He is mean spirited, even evil.

Here is his report...

http://www.assetcorner.com/ Jill M. Vitaluna Jill M. Vitaluna uses an alias (Jill Marie Jones) A Con woman using the Internet to steal your money. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

http://www.ripoffreport.com/brokerage-companies/http-www-assetcorner/http-www-assetcorner-com-ji-92c47.htm

Unlike his, all of my experience is verifiable. He has included the links himself to prove it. Again, unlike his, he has no websites or links to prove who he is. Only 3rd party websites none of his own. He only has AOL e-mail addresses.

Since he was kind enough to report old and new contact information on me. I thought that I would return the favor...

Jill,

David is not in our registry because his membership has expired.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

David says that he is with a California Mortgage Brokers but he is only an affiliate there.

In a previous update I included links where you could verify whether David is real or not yourself. I think that in light of this retaliation of his that the nature of David speaks for itself. Please be careful so that you do not find yourself in the same situation has I have.

Dave doesn't know Dave only Dane (Dane is not real)

AUTHOR: Jill - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, November 05, 2010

The last rebuttal is from "David in Omaha" claiming not to know who Dave is.  That is sooo funny Dave does not know who Dave is.  He is trying to throw people off track.  Don't trust him. Don't trust me. Check for yourself.  Ask for ID. Ask for references. Follow up on examining his license. Ask any of the people that write to him on facebook regularly.  They will tell you that he changed his name.  If he does actually sign something, check his ID.  Which he will not show you. Don't waste your time with Dane aka Dave. Don't waste your money. Don't share sensitive data.

Oh this should help.... an e-mail that he sent to me... "That is also why part of the reason for a "stage name" of "Dane Musk"that  I use now much like Bono,Sting or many of the local TV news anchors use another name."

He says no upfront fees but charges $600 application fee and if he waves this there are no upfront fees for the application but there are still upfront fees after he gives you are Term Sheet... $25k

Check...

confusion

AUTHOR: David - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, October 21, 2010

Not sure who Dave Musk is, but no relation to the Dane I know.

I know that Dane Musk is real,he will sign NCNDs anytime and has drawn large cap commercial projects with a real private equity group.

Dane does not ask for up front fees on any transaction at any time.

I am sorry this person who posted this seems very confused about who Dane is.
