Do not trust Mark's rebuttal. I talked to a lawyer in VA for about 30 minutes and explored setting up a law suit . The lawyer found no evidence that Willis had any real assets and there might be no money to get back. Furthermore the lawyer noted that Mark Willis, or possibly a different Mark Willis in VA who happens to have the same name, once got into a 1 million-dollar scam in a note with language like, Signed this day before our Lord, and in honor of his glory, we take... which the lawyer pointed out was the oddest contract he had seen ever.
Mark did offer one fake reference to me, and introduced me to people he was just meeting at parties. He went to a fair amount of effort all in all, drove all the way up to NYC and into a bank with me to make the loan happen.
He does lots of lying, trying to trick you with charm and the story that he's connected to millions and millions of dollars (none of which he has but all of which is right around the corner).
Also -a typical con move here - when you say something about yourself he is likely to say "me too" and you'll find you have a lot in common, except he's lying. It's always you who first says something and him that agrees. It's a trick.
Mark is smart enough that I believe he would be capable of making a legit living any number of ways, which is sad. I think he is driven by a dark-hearted impulse to take advantage of people. He had fun stealing my money.
Whatever references he produces, see also if he can provide clear financial statements about the collateral he is using to do business with you. Don't let him sucker you with a promissory note, that he writes, and then gets notarized.
Take any contract to a lawyer and test out what type of protection you have in the deal.
Overall you will find him slippery. When real questions come forth and you want to see things in writing, relating to banks and such that prove his business exists, things will fall apart.
Trust me - take your opportunities elsewhere.

Call me. I will give you references to lenders that I use and customers that have closed real estate transactions through my network of lenders. If you want to purchase or refinance real estate, I can talk to you about that too.
