Dan Doyle accepted $13,500 from me via wire transfer that he was supposed to send to a real estate developer in Mississippi for a deposit on land. I was told that to participate in the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) Small Rental Assistance Program (SRAP), I would need to show title to the land in order to get approved for a susbsidy to purchase a duplex in the Whispering Oaks development. I performed due diligence about the development, the developer, and the MDA program. When I recently asked Dan to send me information about the wire transfer he made to the developer so I could get that half of my deposit back, he said, "no problem, I'll have my girl in the office get that for you within a couple of days." Since then I have not been able to get in touch with him by phone or email.
After seeing the video of his alleged Ponzi Scheme and reading these Ripoff Reports about him, I'm assuming I'm another one of his victims. At this point, I don't know why he'd pay me back when there are so many other people he owes money to that are closer to him. I'm on the mainland, so he probably feels insulated. Looks like I'm going to have to file a lawsuit against him and ask the attorney general to file an injuction against his business(es) so that he can't take advantage of anyone else.
If he is such a con artist and hangs around with other alleged con artists like Rick Saul, I'm surprised he has survived so long and hasn't been thrown in jail yet. If I'm wrong about him, I'll be the first to apologize and eat my words, but the evidence I've seen from other victims is that he is incorrigible and a serial scam artist. Nobody answers the phone in his office any longer...this is fairly recent because a few weeks ago a girl answered the phone and acted like a receptionist or secretary. She told me he was taping a radio show in the studio. I can't beleive there are any radio stations that are knowlingly facilitating this type of enterprise. That should be against FCC regulations.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has retained an attorney or has started proceedings against Dan and his crew. Up until now I had some hope that I would get paid back. Now it looks as though I'll have to take matters into my own hands and waste a lot of time to be made "whole" again. All within the law, of course. :-)
By the way, the entire time I've been speaking to Dan about the developer not returning my money ($26,500 total), Dan has made out the developer to be the bad guy, even saying that it could be characterized as "Hurricane Katrina Fraud." Since then I've received emails from the developer and spoken to him at length about all of it, and I now believe that the developer is actually the honest one here. I'm confident that I will at least get the money I wired directly into his account for the purchase of this duplex. He has given me a payment date and I have also spoken to the mayor in that Mississippi city about the developer and this whole deal. It looks like Dan Doyle as an intermediary was taking money from people with no intention of ever holding on to it or passing it to the developer for deposits. I could be wrong, but what else can you think when the communication stops?
I don't want to be part of any mob mentality but unless anyone (Dan) wants to give me a reason to believe otherwise, I'm acquiescing to the general consensus here.

Richard Lee Complaint

I just read Richard Lee's comments concerning me. I am an independent real estate broker for 32 years and control every transaction I do. I am primarily focused on having personal care homes built for for assisted living.
I have found Richard Lee to be an unethical individual with an oversized ego. He makes a lot of promises; loves to talk big; and then doesn't perform. He will waste your time; he is always looking for something for nothing; and is very unfocused flitting from one thing to another. After many weeks of frustration and no productivity, I decided to stop wasting my time dealing with him and discontinue communication. He kept calling asking for me to send him proprietary floor plans for free that I paid an architect many thousands to have designed. I have dealt with many real investors and Richard Lee is into the use and abuse program. He even called my client Gidget lying to her claiming that he would be financing her project and yet he has nothing to do with her project and I never offered him any invitation to participate in her assisted living project! All he wants is to bleed free information for his own purposes. He claimed he would lease every property my investors could build for $4,900 month each; and that I didn't need any other tenant operator except him. When I asked for a lease deposit he said he wanted my investors to build the homes first and then he would lease as promised. What kind of fool would do that on his promise? He claims to be a multimillionaire making $27,000 per surgery in a 15 minute procedure. I asked for Richards financials and 4 times he promised he would fed-x them. Lie after lie. He never performed. What bunk. I have never beed able to locate Richard Lee on the internet anywhere; his company is mystically impossible to get data on. He claims he has an IPA with 66 doctors. I seriously question that. He claims he has 4.5 million in Canada on surgery centers; but he can't handle a one month deposit of $4,900 to build a $340,000 facility. I have heard so many horse stories from this guy it's ridiculous. It just goes and goes and goes. If you ever read Paul Bunyon stories; Richard tells similar whoppers on a non-stop basis.
I do not know who Rick Saul is. I have known Dan Doyle for over 20 years and have found him to be a credible individual with a wealth of tremendous knowledge. I had many dealings with him in 1989-1991. Our paths crossed again a few months ago and Dan disclosed to me challenges which occurred with his former partner of 25 or so years. I know that unexpected events can domino. Dan provided me with full disclosure and to my knowledge he is sorting out his challenges and is working toward meeting his commitments and obligations. I think it is honorable that he is working hard to make money to make things right. He has a long background and life history of doing the right thing. I hope he makes a lot of money to get back on top. Dan has provided me with consulting services and has brought investor and builder contacts to me; all in an ethical and straight forward process; much different than Richard Lee. I resent Richard implying that I do anything wrong. He jumps to conclusions which is just like his personality.
My phone number is 832-435-0783. My web site is www.har.com/barrypowell My email address is [email protected] Please contact me and get the other side of the story before you let Richard Lee's allegations concern you.
Richard Lee should put his phone and contact data on his statement. He won't because he has nothing but heresay to support his allegations. I can say that I haven't wasted Richard's time and abused him. I have left messages with him and his realtor to call me and have had no response yet.

I also invested in the SRAP program (Duplex in Whisper oaks, city of D'Iberville) pushed by Dan Doyle. My story is slightly different than yours, in the fact that I did not give any money to him directly. I wired $5,000 directly to Meadows homes (the builder, for the home reservation) and $13,000 wired directly to Greg Disotell (the land developer, for the land).
Several months ago I was able to get a refund from Meadows, however they kept $2,000 of the $5,000 given to them. Kevin Medows said the $2,000 was spend on the SRAP application. I then contacted Dawn R. Duncan of Real Estate Grant Specialists (they handled the application process) to see how much they actually charged Meadows. Dawn would not tell me at the time, because she was never paid for her services.
As for Greg disotell, he promised the check was going to be in the mail from early June of 2009 for several months, he than disappeared for a few months. A few months ago he reappeared and still promises to repay everyone but has no money to do so. 2-3 months ago he said he would repay everyone and give everyone an additional 10%. He then set a schedule to repay everyone in 3 payments with the first payment at the end of March, 2010. In late March, no payment and said end of April would be the first payment. Two days ago, after I send him an email asking when the check would go out, he send out an email saying no money yet, try next month.
At this point I really don't expect to see the monies return to us investors. I would like to see everyone that has invested in the D'Iberville project join together and do a class action suit against Dan Doyle and the rest of the gang.
I also emailed the Mayor about 6 months ago, but he never returned my email.
I didn't have any dealings with Rick Saul on the SRAP investment project, But I now get email from him everday. He is now pushing foreclosure auctions in Arizona.
