Letter To Stockholders of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF)
Dear Stockholders:
Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF) advertises an "untarnished reputation for integrity". The FNF code of ethics requires "All directors, officers and employees of the Company" to "promote honest and ethical conduct", to "Act with integrity", to "deter wrongdoing", and to NOT "take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or unfair dealing practice". By those representations, FNF has knowingly misled both customers and the investing public. Are you also being deceived?
This open letter is intended as an alert. FNF, through subsidiary Chicago Title Insurance Company and its subsidiary Security Union Title Insurance Company and their respective Agents, facilitated the stealing of a 180-Acre farm previously determined suitable for special use purposes. This outright theft, in calendar year 2000, was orchestrated by Officers of Foresight Financial Group, Inc. (a bank holding company located in Rockford, Illinois) and Officers of its State Bank of Davis, together with attorneys for both that Bank and a Bankruptcy Trustee, and facilitated by FNF under color of official right of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Western Division, located in Rockford, Illinois. Public Records in Winnebago County provide confirmation of this noted Title Fraud.
Evidence of Record specifically implicates FNF as a party to this Title Fraud scheme. The FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER, entered in Winnebago County Circuit Court Case 97-ED-1 on October 27, 1998, judicially confirmed the Winnebago County Public Title Records, which establish that the Debtor in that Bankruptcy Case (97-B-50687) had no Title interest in that farm real estate after 1983. Contrary to both that prior state-court Order and those confirmed Public Title Records, attorney Daniel M. Donahue, as an attorney for creditor State Bank of Davis and also for Bankruptcy Trustee Thomas J. Lester (a HINSHAW & CULBERTSON attorney), falsely claimed in an Adversary Complaint he filed on February 24, 1999, as Case 99-A-5023, the Debtor owned "an undivided one-half interest" in that real estate. Security Union, in June of 2000, issued COMMITMENT(s) FOR TITLE INSURANCE stating that "Title to the fee simple estate . in said land . is . vested in THOMAS LESTER, TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY FOR" the Debtor as if that Debtor was the sole owner of the real estate. Public Title Records establish that Debtor has NEVER been a sole owner of that real estate.
In utter disregard of pertinent Federal Law and based upon the material misrepresentations of those confirmed Public Title Records, the Bankruptcy Court "approved" a "Sale" of that non-debtor owned real estate. Thereafter, "THOMAS LESTER, TRUSTEE" issued a "TRUSTEE'S DEED" and Chicago Title (NOT Security Union) issued a Title Insurance Policy to "Purchaser, ALAN F. MILLER" and to "Purchaser, MCAVIATION CORP." (Joseph McGuire, President) for their respective portion of that real estate so "sold". Chicago Title had reason to know that those contrary real estate Title Claims, made by Security Union and employed by "THOMAS LESTER, TRUSTEE", were false and fraudulent. Irregardless, Chicago Title facilitated that "Sale" by issuing those noted Title Policies, as a "safe-guard", so to indemnify each such "Purchaser" against potential loss should this Title Fraud scheme unravel.
I have repeatedly brought this Title Fraud issue to the attention of Fidelity Agents, Officers, and Directors. However, Fidelity personnel have repeatedly failed to address this issue and both the Fidelity Chief Underwriting Counsel and the Vice Chairman, with impunity, did advise, in writing, that they would no longer reply to my correspondence.
Nevertheless, Fidelity's Chief Underwriting Counsel did answer my written interrogatories on December 4, 2003, by way of local attorney Janet Fuenty who secretly represented the interests of FNF in a related civil litigation pertinent to this Title Fraud issue. Attorney Janet Fuenty was instrumental in my being charged with "Contempt of Court" and being strip searched and being jailed for 10 days because I refused (and I still refuse) to cooperate with this Title Fraud scheme and the ongoing efforts to ""clean" Title to the property" (FNF 2004 Annual Report, p.8) so stolen. In related and ongoing "criminal" proceedings, Assistant Winnebago County State's Attorney Wendy Larson acknowledged in open court to Judge Richard W. Vidal on April 28, 2004, that Debtor has not owned that real estate since 1983, even though "sold", in 2000, as if it were solely his. Contrariwise, Winnebago County State's Attorney Paul Logli continues to prosecute those related "criminal" charges and has also taken measures to conceal evidence of this Title Fraud scheme from a jury. Fidelity's "untarnished reputation for integrity" is slipping away slowly.
I asked your Vice Chairman to provide a list of FNF stockholders so to avoid publication of this Letter. He failed to reply. This Title Fraud issue is now brought to your attention because you have a stake in FNF. SO DO I!!! If need be, Fidelity (FNF) stock will be purchased and proxies solicited.
This documented Title Fraud scheme, perpetrated by corrupt corporate, court and other government officers, is being exposed, as time permits, at www.wellsofjustice.org by a group of citizens concerned about Title Fraud. You, your broker, and/or your financial advisor can learn more about this ongoing Title Fraud scheme at that website.
Will Fidelity do the right thing? Your "integrity", as a stockholder of FNF, is now the issue.
Sincerely,
(s)"Harriet P. Vance, Trustee"
Thousand Hills Trust,
Harriet P. Vance, Trustee
