Connecticut AG Claims Deed Theft In Civil Suit Against Alleged Church Thief; Seeks To Void Title Transfer & $1.15M Mortgage

In an April, 2008 press release:

• [Connecticut] Attorney General Richard Blumenthal [...] announced a lawsuit(1) against a man who fraudulently posed as pastor of a Hamden church, transferred the church property title to his own church and then took out a $1.15 million mortgage on the property that ultimately defaulted.

***

• "This imposter pastor has literally attempted a church hijacking," Blumenthal said. [...] My office will fight vigorously in court to restore title and interest in Macedonia's property to its own members."

***

• Blumenthal's lawsuit seeks a court order declaring the illegal land transfer and mortgage null and void. He has also asked the court to declare that the title and interest in the Butler Street property remain exclusively with Macedonia. [...] Blumenthal has also filed a lis pendens on the land records for Macedonia's Hamden property to inform the public that the fraudulent property title is in dispute.
