This is the original SupportBeal site video by Leobatfish
describing the situation not long before the Michigan
Supreme Court declined to hear our appeal
From the opening paragraph of the original
www.SupportBeal website:
<<This site contains and connects to information
concerning Destiny-98, also known as REO America,
TransAm Tax Certificate etc, etc's attempt to foreclose
on 1960 S Maple Rd, Ann Arbor Michigan and the
resulting legal dispute and public reaction.>>
The focus of this site has shifted to the Tax
Lien and Tax Deed buying business, how it
operates and the abuses it is open to. My
personal case is a typical example.
This site is a reflection of my personal experience and
several years of research into the industry.

This link will take you to the home page concerning

documents can be accessed from this page.
This part of the website was also the first, and last,
time I tried to make things amusing or fun: it got too
grim afterwards.

Introduction:
First, I am still trying to get back my home and workshop/studio....
For a brief summery of the foreclosure of 1960 S Maple go to this link. To see a time-line of
the events go to 1960 Timeline.
Destiny 98's handling of 1960 S Maple has demonstrated every negative trait that has been
reported to me about tax lien buyers and the way they do business, from their outright
lying, heavy handed tactics, self-important self-representations, to their general
incompetence to actually do what they maintain they can do, that is, successfully develop
real-estate. Destiny 98 proved itself to be nothing more than what others have said their
kind are: opportunistic scavengers and bottom-feeders.
In defending the business their spokes people repeatedly twist and mis-represent the
facts to portray themselves as benefactors to the communities they operate in, providing
key needed revenue for municipal services, helping to revitalize local re-estate conditions
and promote the community's welfare when their actual behavior and the real facts
demonstrate no significant real contribution or exactly the opposite.
This is a jumbled story that is slowly coming together and as I fit each piece into place, it
becomes a little clearer. The message, though, is always the same; that the business of
dealing in tax liens/deeds is inherently uncaring, not just unsavory. It has at its root a
practice that no self respecting, peaceful enterprise should continue and its participants
have shown no indication that any reform is contemplated. Instead, I've found only
delusional self-justification.
In the case of 1960 S Maple, Ann Arbor, seemingly driven by nothing more than greed,
indolence and ignorance, Douglas Q. Gale turned a troubled but productive and hopeful
household and studio/workshop into a dead shell, slowly, inevitably returning it to the
decay it had once been rescued from. I will show in this website that the facts of the matter
amply demonstrate this contention.
In researching the tax lien/deed industry, two other facts have surfaced that are worth
sharing.
One is the association of otherwise respectable financial institutions with the business.
The other is the deliberate attempt of the tax lien/deed industry to co-opt the efforts of
Habitat for Humanity to their own ends. Such an association should give everyone the
same sense of discomfort as would discovering one's local hospital had decided to enter
into a for-profit relationship with the local funeral and mortuary business.
I will provide, as above, ample evidence and sources to document my contentions.
In a perverse way, I want to thank Douglas Q. Gale's patronizing, deceitful way of
dealing with me since it has provided me with a bottomless pool of motivation to
pursue the research necessary to flesh out this website.
Thanks, Doug...

Destiny-98 paid less than $6000 for 1960 S. Maple. How much are they expecting YOU to pay?
