The Great Comment Debate

Boring
Still looking for the smoking gun.

All I see in this blog is the bitter ramblings of an old man who has outlived his usefulness. I suppose it will give you something to repeat daily as you rot away in the nursing home. Not that anyone would care.

No smoking gun yet Anonymous? Well, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to support all claims and none in support of Minnick. Perhaps you can show proof that everyone posting on this blog is wrong about Dic Minnick and his family. Show your own "smoking gun" and post proof that Minnick is who he claims to be. Evidence of his many years with WB? Video of Dic in the pool of his multimillion dollar home? Perhaps a video of him riding on his roller coaster? With all his millions, why does his wife still have to work a meaningless job with the State of Arizona? Maybe post a copy of his credit report? How about the name and contact number of his legal counsel? Better yet, bank name and account numbers! That would make everyone happy, especially our attorneys! Anxiously awaiting your post to prove everyone wrong.

Predictably, what DicOwesMe2 points out is exactly right. No matter what people have been told, media has reported and Dic Minnick has promoted through his own words, our old friend Anonymous wants to talk about a "smoking gun." Its almost like not being able to see through the fog.

We are assuming that Anonymous would want everyone to believe that 7501 N. Ironwood Rd, Paradise Valley, AZ is actually Mr. Minnick's residence. One thing for sure, it was news to the rightful owners that they had a business registered there.

We are assuming that Anonymous is trying to verify that Mr. Minnick does have hundreds of millions of dollars of offshore accounts. Funny enough, this multi-millionaire still needs to borrow $100K for fees and other costs while he sells his $9.95 million home.

We are assuming that Anonymous knows where Mr. Minnick has a roller coaster in storage.

We are assuming that Anonymous can provide an accounting of where Mr. Minnick spent $120 million on the Old Arizona Territory that was noted in the Phoenix Magazine article. It certainly didn't go to the vendors who are owed hundreds of thousands in outstanding service contracts.

We are assuming that Anonymous knows why Mr. Minnick couldn't pay his assumed staff their salaries and pay writers for their film scripts even though he spent $120 million on his business.

We are assuming Anonymous has first hand knowledge of where Mr. Minnick has television studio and satellite equipment stored or staged.

We are assuming that Anonymous can provide names, addresses and phone numbers for Mr. Minnick's other successful business.

We are assuming that Anonymous can defend all of Mr. Minnick's own words, with the specific information that DicOwesMe2 is asking for on behalf of so many. Can Anonymous show us one place where all these riches are??

Something does smell bad in the nursing home, and no one can put there finger on it... but it might be from some Anonymous source.

If some of the outstanding loans got paid off, some of the service contracts were paid down, land was paid for, and a correct address was provided for the home and/or business address of MFT World Entertainment, some people might be satisfied. At least everyone would know where to send their invoices to, or better yet their notices.

Marge versus the Monorail

"Marge vs. the Monorail" is the twelfth episode of The Simpsons's fourth season and originally aired on January 14, 1993. Contribution from Wikipedia. Springfield buys a transit system when it obviously doesn't need one and doesn't have anyone but Homer Simpson to be the conductor.

The Old Arizona Territory planned to have a train. Some of those details may have come out at the meeting held in July 2008 but are also available on the OAT document provided in a previous posting. Since July 2008 there haven't been many other planning meetings with the City of Eloy or any other development folks in the area.

Docstoc Links

If you are using a docstoc link to an Eaglebanque document from the blog, you'll have to print the document you want from the blog rather than docstoc. Looks like de-registered banks in Malaysia and Switzerland still like to protect their documents. So print what you want from here for the next week before they are archived from here as well.

Old Arizona Territory Plan

If you have been lucky enough to be at a MFT presentation or have been sent information from the author himself, then you probably know that you have a great piece of work in your possession. Received this presentation from someone who got the Old Arizona Territory plan as part of MFT's short term loan request posted on Facebook. You can view the Old Arizona Territory project right here.

The presentation and detail are fantastic. You'll get the benefit of:
the author's handwriting on Google maps;
different fonts for different pages and sections;
different colored highlights to catch your eye;
and descriptions of what's in the plan.

On the first page it says:

The development is owned by Minnick Family Trust (MFT) whose principal is Dic Minnick. Mr. Minnick is a noted major motion picture and television program investor. He also has several other profitable business ventures.

If anyone out there knows about these "other profitable business ventures" please share your knowledge on this blog. Looks like there are a bunch of people who would like more detail about those ventures. Also there is information about television studio and satellite equipment on Page 6 that might be of interest. Enjoy your read. Nothing about the $650 budget that was asked about in one of the comments from a previous posting.

Step Right Up! Nothing real ever built here.

Phoenix Magazine did a story in September 2008 which included the Old Arizona Territory and direct quotes from Dic Minnick. In the story Dic explained how "roller coaster construction is under way and he already has shelled out $120 million for the park and studio" along with wanting the Eloy location for its position between 2 highways. Publicly stated to a journalist that's $120 million spent in 2008! Where's the cash? Where's the product from the cash? Where's the result of the construction? There are no qualifiers in the statements made. For example:
"Mr. Minnick is planning to spend a $120 million in the next year."
or
"Mr. Minnick plans to start construction on a roller coaster soon."
It's pretty plain English as reported in this article, the money was spent and the coaster is being constructed.

Eloy mentioned that it was caught off guard and also needed a planning amendment in order to facilitate the project.

Our apologies that only part of the story is available, but something is better than nothing. Don't say "nothing" around the intersection of Interstate 8 and 10 since there is still nothing there to show for this article and the claims in it.

It's understood that these kinds of public statements, even by Mr. Minnick himself, won't satisfy the conditions of one of our Anonymous commentators and followers. We do want to thank another anonymous contributor for pointing the material out to us anyway.

If there was a $100 million.

The process for a Letter of Credit valued at $100 million usually looks much more involved than this. Compare the 2 documents, in March of 2009 one sheet grew to 3 sheets of paper by December. It was as easy as one, two...three. Again, feel free to review the links on the right hand side toolbar that includes links to Eaglebanque and InvestmentSuisse alert notices in the Far East and Europe. Also use the Who Is links on the right side toolbar to see more about the 2 financial houses. Funny, but the websites are registered almost exactly the same!

In a July 2008 document (seen at this docstoc.com link) from Eaglebanque dated July 2008, Page 1 shows that the value of the financing is for $75 Million US. But then when you scroll down to Page 2 it changes to $100 Million all of the sudden. Amazing to get that kind of benefit just from one page.

The beauty of public information

Thanks for the early and informative comments. Two commentators made strong and absolutely proper assessments of the information offered in the first posting. Remember this is an exchange of information that has been distributed publicly. Readers should make their own assessments and check each source, claim or viewpoint for themselves. Don't take anything for granted. But let's get back to the two commentators....

First Anonymous said...

(Excerpt)Either make your case or not. The builder of this blog assumes that putting content on a page builds credibility. There is nothing on this site that tells me anything new or shady other then someone wants me to believe that by association guilt is proven. June 24, 2010 9:34 AM

Then Jayson P said...

(Excerpt) Just because the deal did not ultimately close under the terms you understood at the time you wrote the letter does not mean conditions you described for closing the deal did not change between the proffer of the letter and when you had thought is would close. NO fraud! June 24, 2010 9:57 AM

Again, absolutely proper and valid comments made by both Anonymous and Jayson P. The beauty about public information is that with a little research and knowledge of how to use a great search engine like Google you can find public information about people or their associates.

As Jayson P discovered, on the right side tool bar their are links to the Arizona Justice and Civil Court records. A sampling of cases were used to confirm that the identity of the Defendant was the same Richard G Minnick (Reverend Dic Minnick pictured to the right.

With the Plaintiffs in Case CC2006224405000
Minnick's signature was confirmed with one on a rental agreement on file. No payment was made against the judgment.

In Case 0711CV9801319 the Minnick's rented an apartment in a duplex from the Plaintiffs. An issue with his family trust was the reason rent payments were behind. No payment was made against the judgment.

Then in Case CC2006084359000 the Minnick's rented another apartment. The judgment hasn't been paid but management was hopeful.

In related Cases CV1998-022673 and CV1999-003757 reps for the Plaintiffs confirmed that Dic referred to himself as Reverend. Apparently his money was locked in a family trust while he was preparing for a major theme park project. Minnick made an offer to buy the Plaintiff's rental property and even handed over a check for the deposit. The check didn't clear because of the ongoing problem with the trust being locked up.

Since one of these cases goes back to the late 90's, how much time does a person need to get their funds freed from a family trust? Why would someone with a family trust worth tens of millions of dollars have so much trouble paying rent or lease payments; $800 here, $1000 there, $700 over there? Someone with a trust of that size wouldn't want the blemish on their record... it doesn't make sense. Most cases are terminated or dismissed because of time and inaction. Who spends money to chase someone who is representing themselves and refuses to pay. Why is someone with a family trust worth tens of millions even representing themselves anyway for these kinds of cases?? This is public information that you can search for yourself. Please do your own research.

Others have waited for payments that never arrived; it looks like some of them are commenting on this blog. So isn't it fair to ask if this history looks a little concerning.

Oh, and in reference to the comment left about Eaglebanque and InvestmentSuisse, please click on Eaglebanque Alert List and InvestmentSuisse Unauthorized. Apparently, regulators don't like these banks either.

Can you lend me a $100K

In 2008, Dic Minnick made the loan request above to close a business transaction. In 2 years inflation might have kicked in but business for MFT World Entertainment didn't change. To quote Arizona Entrepreneur Richard Minnick:

Looking for a Private Banking investor on a multi million project here in AZ. Small investment large return in short time. Please use mmdicmft@gmail.com to inquire.
need private investor, short term 2 for 1 return 120 days.

On a posting with the PartnerUp Community you will see that Dic Minnick has:

"100 million LOC need working capital to close will pay back 90 days to 120 days, need $100k return $150k need ASAP.

The same short-term loan went from a 50% premium in 90 to 120 all the way to a 2 for 1 in 120 days. Amazing how much changes when you shop around for the best rates.

MFT World Entertainment is registered in the State of Arizona. Make note of the Agent Physical Address listed as 7501 NORTH IRONWOOD ROAD, PARADISE VALLEY, AZ, 85253 on the MFT registry rather than the mailing address. If you go to Maricopa County public records for 7501 N. Ironwood you'll certainly see that MFT's Agent Physical Address is not owned by Richard Minnick or anyone named Minnick. Wonder how that happened? Must have been a mistake...right?

Make sure you get documents, check with authorities and re-check everything again before you consider these requests for loans. You'll be amazed at what you find.
