“District Attorney’s Office to determine whether or not Smith should, be arrested.”?????Sounds like a Gearhart/does 1-100, deal once again. Could take years?????? Once again????? Or would he just happened to be Heritage Oaks Bank’s (fall guy,) they have been accused of far greater criminal activities, is this, merely to draw attention from the Gearhart/Hurst, Fraud? Wait and see? From one buzzard too the next? Oh, and since I’m on the subject and this is right off the grill, what did Hurst do with all the reverse mortgage monies it, had collected before becoming defunct. Anybody know ? This is all tied together! Follow the money! Remember, Paul Deline of Heritage Oaks Bank has, “plenty of sympathy for Hurst Investors”. Cheseburger, feels they should trim the fat, starting with him and help string up the real criminals, what’s up does 1-100?
