Franklin Green PLLC Franklin Green PLLC HE GOT ME TOO! Washington, District of Columbia

To make my long story, short...... Our company placed 100k into an escrow account for a Gold (AU) transaction with Mr. Franklin Green and his law firm and his client. I have no idea what happened to my funds. In the agreement there exist a clause, which states, 100% of funds will be returned if no transaction occurs. The Office of Bar Counsel in Washington, DC is currently investigating Mr. Franklin Green.

Like Mr Greens rubutal on the complaint lodge by Mr Lane, obviously another victim, I am not an accredited investor. I am not a qualified buyer. All I am is some poor smuck that fell for a story of easy riches and gave who i thought was a reputable escrow attorney there to protect my hard earned life savings to make money.

In the end i learned that if a deal is too good to be true - IT IS.

I can tellyou that I have never seen any evidence any gold exists short of some pictures of an african gentleman holding some bricks that are gold in color which are very similar to the pictures you will find on any gold scam website or blog...

I have never been given any of the proper documentation that was agreed upon in our sale agreements.

And most importantly no gold was ever shipped to the United States by Mr Green's associates.

In the end I was sold on situation by Mr Green that supposedly involved me putting money into his escrow account so that he could use that as a deposit because he and his associates had a person in Africa that would send a substantial amount of gold to the US to be refined, and most importantly my money was to NEVER leave his account, and the money paid by the refinery was to be sent to the seller in Africa minus the profits Mr Green, Sellers agent John Holder,a nd myself we supposed to divy up in a predetermined fashion.

THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NO RISK.

While everyone told me not to do this deal, In talking to Mr Green, he built a level of trust with me whcih i now regret. Mr Green explained to me on numorous occasion that my money was safe in his account, and i could have it back at any time.

I was told that the entire transaction was to take no longer than TEN DAYS.

It has now been SEVEN MONTHS and i still have not recieved a dime.

I HAVE BEGGED, BEEN PATIENT, GOTTEN MAD AND USED ATTORNEYS AND COMPAINED TO THE BAR. NOTHING PHASES THIS MAN.

Mr Green has offered me many verbal settlement offers, all of which involve him and the seller getting paid money even though they never performed in the most lightest sense of the word, and i have accept thier offers on many occasions, and yet Mr Green still refuses to return any of my money..

Mr Green will respond to this that it is my fault somehow.

Mr Green will say I am not sofisticated, i dont know what i am doing. I am sure he will say my allegation are ludicrous. I am sure he will say i am not a qualified buyer...

The problem is, he is right, I am not.

Mr Green sold me on a story of easy riches, and I was stupid for believing him. It is obvious to me now that he actually looks for people that fit this profile as it is very easy to take a person last dime and then keep it becuase they cant afford to hire an attorney to fly to DC to sit in mediation...

Now i spend my days sitting in bankruptcy court becuase Mr Green kept my construction companies working capital. I am losing my house, my wife is divorcing me and taking our children and I am ruined.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANYONE YOUR MONEY FOR A DEAL THAT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE< BECAUSE IT IS> I PROMISE!!

Also, just remember WHERE THERE IS SMOKE THERE IS FIRE.
