Zeroes Among Us, NRED re Bullies Among Us, Valerie Mapes
The Internet has become a common ground for sharing viewpoints, both pro and con. As more people are tuned in to the electronic age it has become increasingly more difficult for the bad practices of any business, no matter how remote or small their marketplace is, to continue without being noticed, as has been the case until now. People of all levels and of experience have increasingly begun to share their opinions concerning the various pluses and minuses of various businesses. Many businesses are not coming out well in these news group discussions. In this case it's the Nevada Real Estate Division (NRED).
In Valerie Mapes' world, a good salesman aims to make a killing not earn a living.
According to public Reno Justice and District court records, in August 2004, Wells Fargo received several calls from Valerie Mapes. Ms. Mapes was then and is a Broker Owner of Prudential Nevada Realty. The calls were about her agent, Keith W. Gledhill http://reno.broowaha.com/article.php?id=3448.
Initially, Ms. Mapes spoke with Wells Fargo's manager, James Elvick. Ms. Mapes told Mr. Elvick to muzzle his loan officers or else she would not allow anyone in her brokerage to work with anyone at Wells Fargo. Mr. Elvick had known of Mr. Gledhill's illegal activities for several previous months as Mr. Gledhill had months earlier fired Wells Fargo loan officer, Ms. Michelle Vinson, for refusing to do Mortgage Fraud and have an affair with him. Mr. Gledhill had described Ms. Vinson as “a bimbo who wouldn't do what I wanted.” Ms. Vinson says she “did not want to work with Keith as (she) fired him because he was a dirty rat looking to screw around on his wife as he had called (her) while she was at training in LA, where the Gledhills live, and had offered to pay for (her) to stay another night and show (her) the town and then had shown up at the Brew House while (Ms. Vinson) was there with friends.”
Mr. Gledhill did not work and bragged about it and repeatedly ridiculed those who did. “What I do is a more productive use of my time.” Mr. Gledhill repeatedly bragged about his expensive vehicles, his rich and lavish lifestyle and how stupid the peons were for working when there were so many other easier ways to live.
It had become obvious to Wells Fargo that Mr. Gledhill and his wife lived beyond their stated income for the debts, mortgage amounts and lifestyle they maintained. Mr. Gledhill had asked unusual questions regarding compliance with government reporting requirements, anti-money laundering policies, loan fraud, owner occupant home loan and home insurance policies, forged documents such as rental agreements, home owners' insurance, and does the lender follow up on documents and go out and actually check property after close? He repeatedly exhibited a lack of concern regarding risks, commissions or other transactional costs to a home loan lender or insurance company.
When Mr. Gledhill approached a second Wells Fargo loan officer for Mortgage Fraud, Mr. Elvick properly started the process of involving Wells Fargo Fraud, 800/947-9869, for the required Suspicious Activity Report (SAR). Karen Benson with Wells Fargo Loan Fraud told Wells Fargo Reno to file a police report and give all information to the State agency regulating Gledhill's real estate license. Then Wells Fargo discovered that Mr. Gledhill provided Wells Fargo with a forged original rental agreement to clear a loan condition. Karen Benson then filed a SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) with the FBI and added probable money laundering by Gledhill to her report. There was by now a growing belief the Gledhills had used to facilitate several federal criminal transactions, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, First Horizon and CTX Mortgage, as conduits for money laundering in noncompliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). Funds involved were derived from illegal activities, drugs and home loan fraud. It was intended to hide or disguise funds and assets derived from these illegal activities. The scheme and subsequent conspiracy is a very sophisticated form of white-collar crime. It may have started with Mrs. Gledhill as he is a highly trained and educated accountant.
It appears from the public trail that the Gledhills http://reno.broowaha.com/article.php?id=3300 were using home loans to move money into real estate, buying and selling targeted Reno houses to hide the Gledhill's drug and loan fraud activities, including forging documents such as rental agreements. It was done to create an income stream, and subsequent tax losses (mileage between LA and Reno, interest, depreciation, etc.) to run drug money through.
It was then discovered that Mr. Gledhill's home address, where he lives at 4214 Dauntless Dr. Rancho Palos Verdes, California, 90275-6013, is a property owned by Toshio & Kiyomi Tanaka, according to the public record. The Tanaka's are Mr. Gledhill's landlords.

Bristol Palin’s retarded fetus is more qualified
Valerie is a simple, undereducated, preaching buffoon. She is half a baby step away from the homeless people who babble to themselves in the street. She may well be insane, it's hard to tell without seeing her in person. Just stop. Stop embarrassing yourself and go away. Far away. Far away where the Realtors run free and chase butterflies in fields of sunflowers. Go be with the Realtors, Valerie. Let them pet your head and tell you the truth. Now go Valerie, be free, be with your people. Run along sweet cheeks, run along. Good girl, good.... "Valerie, you lookin' at me? You look' at me? Are you lookin' at me?" It's awesome. Not only is she dumb, she's totally looped. Valerie, you can't hide what you are and what you do. You are a sanctimonious psycho bitch. I think Bristol Palin's retarded fetus is more qualified to be a county employee than Valerie is.Valerie, are you trying to out-stupid yourself?! If so, mission accomplished girl! Go treat yourself to a Nazi pie! Valerie, if you send me a postage pre-paid 3 x 3 x 3 box, I'll mail you the shit Eleanor and Gertrude produced on your comment. I can also send you a clump of their urine (complete with litter) if you like. Next person to call this dumb, crazy bitch a cunt will get a -1 on their comment from me. Take that, potty mouths. El G.

Nevada is a without a doubt, a consumer-hostile state
A notorious reputation of intimating people and filing harassment charges against the people who stand up and speak out against corrupt corporations and immoral or illegal behavior only lasts so long before people rightfully snap and fight back. In the 1980's, Nevada had such poor regulation of securities that is was known as the Securities Fraud Capital. Now it's the Mortgage Fraud Capital due to the deficient regulation and enforcement by the Nevada Real Estate Division, Nevada Mortgage Division, and the Nevada Attorney General, as well as its corrupt judges, which I understand from the author's various mortgage fraud exposes, are unsurprisingly due to bribes and incompetence.
Nevada is a without a doubt, a consumer-hostile state. Scrutiny has been so minimal of business that consumer victims of these frauds find no help from Nevada officials due to the bribes and incompetence of these Nevada officials. This kind of bad publicity and having such a bad reputation, is detrimental to Nevada's economy which is why I define these Nevada officials as treasonous and subversive to the people they represent.
Nevada Assembly Member Bernie Anderson of Washoe County was recently quoted in the Reno News and Review “I don't know whether that ever really goes into the decision making,” and this Chair of the Nevada Assembly Judiciary Committee, and member of the Nevada Assembly Commerce, also incredibly says the effects of bad publicity to Nevada has rarely been on the radar screen of legislators.
Washoe County recently went Blue, as well as the State. The days of the sinful Wild Wild West are over. Corrupt, immoral and self-serving treasonous arrogant out-of-touch with the people morons like the arrogant Nevada officials taking the bribes, or just plain incompetent, are rapidly ending. Nevada Assembly Member Bernie Anderson, Reno Judge Steven Elliott, Reno Real Estate Brokers Valerie Mapes, Darrel Plummer and Jeff Giesler, Nevada Real Estate Administrator Ann McDermott, Nevada Real Estate Division Investigator Kip Steele, Nevada Administrator Mendy Elliott, , Nevada Administrator Sheila Leslie, Countrywide manager Sue Barry, Wells Fargo Area Manager Richard Vaughan, and all the others exposed, I'm looking forward to their soon to come and they certainly earned it life behind bars. I love that names are named, sources are published. I won't be surprised if someone takes a pot shot at these incompetent, arrogant or corrupt people. Darren Mack did it for Judge Weller's capricious rulings, and violence has been long such in Northern California, where I'm from. In Northern California disgruntled clients walked in and shot several lawyers, and one San Rafael, California capricious judge was pulled off his bench where he found himself with a shotgun taped to his throat, then he did die when the shotgun discharged.
America is a representative democracy and when the representatives forget they represent the people, people remind them who the representatives represent. Some of the people bullied by businesses, then disenfranchised by their representatives and paid officials do it with the keyboard, some do it by violence. So Nevada businesses and representatives and officials, its your choice what's on your radar screen. Represent the people and you have nothing to worry about. Represent only big money and for-profit corporations, and you have to worry about people pushed to desperation, that you forgot or didn't care that you also represent. People whose sad and desperate stories are written about in exposes such as these.
I am not a proponent of senseless violence. I do understand when victims are pushed into violence when their representatives and paid officials fail to help the victims. That makes sense to me. America was founded in violence after exhausting all other means to get her relief against her oppressors. Every American should always remember that in how they conduct themselves. When violence does happen from the victims, I say when I hear about it, the business or representative or official had it coming. If called to jury duty I would never find a victim guilty who resorted to violence only against an individual in a business that wronged them or the representative or official that wronged them after exhausting all other legal means.
So people, all businesses, representatives and officials, I am not surprised when things get ugly for you when you wrong someone. It is the American tradition.
