LIT COMMENTARY
APR 21, MAY 1,
JUN 28, 2024
Mackie Wolf touched every part of David Glassel’s foreclosures in both properties – from Trustee, to Servicer to Auctioneer, repeatedly in violation of the law. At the time of publishing, the commercial property sold by credit bid to DBNTCO for $165k (Aug. 2021) and the main residence sold by credit bid for $331.5k to DBNTCO (Feb. 2024) – but that property is up for auction again in May 2024.
LIT Exposes Shadow Banking by the Legal Overlords
What you have here, over many years, is two adjacent properties (lot 64 and 65) owned by David Glassel being foreclosed by one law firm primarily, foreclosure mill Mackie Wolf and their legal bandit lawyers, who acted for;
Deutsche Bank (trustee)
Onity/PHH/Ocwen (mortgage servicer / debt buyer / debt collector)
AVT Title Services, LLC (auctioneer / substitute trustee / foreclosure mill Mackie Wolf’s shell sham entity)
In order to try and cloud this glaring fact, they recruit in the majority, Locke Lord, another Texas foreclosure mill who happily “substitutes” into the case after removal. Due to the fact this is a double foreclosure on 2 lots, they add a supplementary law firm Hirsch and Westheimer (Michael Hord) into the mix.
However, the trace clearly shows pre and post litigation, Mackie Wolf is controlling all aspects of the foreclosures.
Indeed, it appears to LIT that the Feb. 6, 2024 auction for $331.5k on a credit bid to DBNTCO has been ‘unofficially’ set aside since LIT called ’em about about this type of sham foreclosure ‘sale’ by the Wolves of Texas and are now going to sell it to a ‘friend’ at the rescheduled May 2024 auction, should the latest bankruptcy by Glassel not prevent the same.
Legal Bandits and creditor rights lawyers Cronenwett and Hord would tag team for Ocwen and Deutsche thereafter.
And what we’ve now recently confirmed, lenders and trustees like Deutsche Bank National Trust Company are being used as a pawn to hide the fact that the debt is being punted around debt buyers, which include the very mortgage servicers who are ‘instructed to foreclose’.
As we’ve indicated before, this system, which is spawned from Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS), where mortgages and loans are bundled together and sold to investors on Wall St., is effectively a fraudulent scheme to hide the real parties in interest, which is generally not the name you’ll see listed as “trustee”, in this case Deutsche Bank.
In short, you now have the unbelievable scenario where loans secured by real property, in this case residential property, has less legal protection than unsecured loans, credit card and student loans. That’s right, at least with unsecured loans, you have consumer laws in place to prevent the type of non-disclosure and fraud you see here being adjudicated by federal judges in the majority, despite state law controlling property laws.
We blame congress for much of this corruption, who have done absolutely nothing since the greatest theft of residential homes in American history, as it continues into 2024 and beyond. America will be a country where only the one percenters own homes and the rest will be renters, or owners of converted garden sheds called tiny homes or shipping containers.
That’s the true reality of what citizens have allowed to happen in America due to their own inaction due to fear: a need for self preservation.
Now, returning to the 2 properties in question in these proceedings, you’ll note that although there’s 2 lots, the original loan was a single loan.
That would be split upon refinance. The ‘main residence’ as we’ll call 2119 Old Ox Rd where the Overlords claim Deutsche Bank as trustee holds the interest,
and
the second home loan for 2123 Old Ox Rd, which we’ll refer to as the ‘commercial property‘ and where the Overlords claim Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (PHH Mortgage Corp.) as mortgage servicer, debt buyer and debt collector holds the interest.
On Aug. 14, 2017 there’s a notice of rescission of acceleration of the 2123 loan – recorded by Mark Cronenwett and notarized by Susan Taplin, Senior Paralegal at Mackie Wolf for over a decade (very familiar with the robosigning fraud and fabrication of legal docs to initiate illegal foreclosures).
The 2021 trustee’s deed (legally documenting and recording in real property records the auction and sale amount/buyer of the property foreclosed) appoints Mackie Wolf as the auctioneer via their alter ego entity AVT Title Services, LLC, and where they indicate that Chelsea Schneider is the auctioneer; a Texas attorney and associate at Mackie Wolf who “r
The credit bid of $165k is to buyer DBNTCO.
As LIT proved in prior cases, Mackie Wolf acting for all of the parties/entities in a foreclosure proceeding violates the law – it’s illegal.
See; Outlaw Judge Tami Craft Grants TRO Bond At Dec. 28, 2023 Hearing Against AVT Title Services, et al – where Mark Cronenwett was called out by LIT for this very reason and he quickly ensured the case was dismissed shortly after he’d removed to federal court to pursue judgment.
LIT’s investigation is pertaining to a forensic analysis and audit of the loans and foreclosure litigation pertaining to David Glassel’s properties at 2119 and 2123 Old Ox Road in Spring, TX.
During this review we’ve noted Glassel’s involved in a substantial amount of litigation which has resulted in additional parties in this lawsuit. We note David’s wife is now deceased and his business ceased operation in 2012 “due to the state” according to his counsel’s pleadings (bankruptcy attorney Larry Vick).
LIT is not commenting or investigating any of these related issues which involve David Glassel, and we are not paid to promote any party or litigant in our publication(s) related to these parties.
Our sole purpose is to expose the ongoing fraud and corruption between Shadow Bankers, Legal Overlords, Outlaws and Bandits in Texas.

INTERVENOR-PLAINTIFF DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, AS TRUSTEE’S MOTION TO INTERVENE
(by Feb. 2024 Auctioneers aka Mackie Wolf and ALSO Expedited Foreclosure Counsel for DBNTCO in 2023)
APR 13, 2017 | REPUBLISHED BY LIT: APR 21, 2024
COMES NOW Intervenor-Plaintiff Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in Trust for Registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-7, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-7 (“Deutsche Bank”) and pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24 respectfully requests that the Court grant its Motion to Intervene and for its Original Petition to become part of the record of this cause, and in support respectfully shows the Court:
I. STATUS OF PLEADINGS
1. On February 6, 2017, David L. Glassel (“Glassel”) filed Plaintiffs Original Pettition [sic] to Quiet Title and Request for Temporary Restraining Order, thereby opening cause number 17-02-01580 in the 244th Judicial District of Montgomery County, Texas.
Glassel alleges that Defendant Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC violated certain constitutional and statutory requirements in the origination of a loan on Glassel’s “residential and business homestead in Montgomery County with a legal description of:
Lot Sixty-Four (64), and Lot Sixty Five (65) in Block Three (3) of Spring Forest Section One” Lots Sixty-Four and Sixty-Five, respectively…
known as 2123 Old Ox Road and 2119 Old Ox Road, are distinct properties subject to distinct loan agreements owned by distinct entities.
Deutsche Bank is the holder and beneficiary of the
Note and Security Instrument related to 2119 Old Ox Road.
Deutsche Bank is not currently a party to this cause.
Deutsche Bank seeks to intervene in this cause and assert claims against Glassel to foreclose on 2119 Old Ox Road because of Glassel’s default under the terms of the Note and Security Instrument.
II. ARGUMENT AND REQUEST FOR RELIEF
A. Intervention as a Matter of Right
2. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a) allows a movant who “claims an interest relating to the property or transaction that is the subject of the action, and is so situated that disposing of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede the movant’s ability to protect its interest, unless existing parties adequately represent that interest,” to intervene in the action as a matter of right.
FED. R. CIV. P. 24(a). Deutsche Bank may intervene as of right under Rule 24 because Deutsche Bank has an interest in a property made subject to this action and Deutsche Bank’s ability to protect that interest may be impeded by disposition of this action.
3. This case involves a dispute over loans taken out by Glassel and secured by the equity in two contiguous but distinct properties:
2119 Old Ox Road
and
2123 Old Ox Road.
On June 9, 2006, Glassel executed a Texas Home Equity Security Note for a $204,000.00 loan that encumbered 2119 Old Ox Road.
(Exhibits B & C.)
The original lender on the Note was Long Beach Mortgage Company
(Exhibits B & C.)
The Note and Security Instrument were subsequently transferred to Deutsche Bank.
(Exhibit D.)
On August 22, 2006, Glassel executed a Deed of Trust with GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc. as lender, securing a $168,000.00 loan with an interest in 2123 Old Ox Road.
(Exhibit E.)
4. Glassel’s claim that the lenders committed a “loan stacking violation” by encumbering Glassel’s property with multiple home equity loans rests on the disingenuous presumption that 2123 Old Ox Road and 2119 Old Ox Road are one and the same property.
See Pl.’s Original Pet.
Glassel conflates 2119 Old Ox Road with 2123 Old Ox Road to assert that the loan agreements at issue were constitutionally and statutorily invalid, and that somehow the lenders owe Glassel money and are barred from foreclosing.
See Pl.’s Original Pet.
Therefore Deutsche Bank’s interest in 2119 Old Ox Road directly relates to Glassel’s claims in this action.
5. The current parties to this action do not adequately protect Deutsche Bank’s interest in 2119 Old Ox Road.
Glassel seeks a declaration that, despite Glassel’s admitted default, Glassel owes no debt on the property or properties at issue and foreclosure is constitutionally barred.
See Pl.’s Original Pet.
Defendant Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, as the loan servicer, has an interest in 2123 Old Ox Road.
Deutsche Bank seeks to protect its interest in 2119 Old Ox Road and to foreclose on that property.
No current party to this action can protect Deutsche Bank’s interest.
6. In its Original Complaint, Deutsche Bank seeks an order of foreclosure on the loan secured by 2119 Old Ox Road.
(Exhibit A.)
Deutsche Bank thus has a clear interest in the subject property that could be affected by a judgment in this cause.
If Glassel prevails in his claims, Deutsche Bank, as the current holder and beneficiary of the loan agreement secured by 2119 Old Ox Road, may lose its interest in the property.
Accordingly, Deutsche Bank seeks to intervene in this cause as a matter of right pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a).
B. Permissive Intervention
7. Alternatively and without waiving its foregoing argument, Deutsche Bank seeks to intervene in this cause with the Court’s permission pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 24(b).
That Rule provides that the Court may permit a party to intervene when that party “has a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact.”
FED. R. CIV. P. 24(b)(1)(B).
8. Deutsche Bank’s claims directly relate to the claims at issue in this cause.
Deutsche Bank’s interest will be affected by a judgment in this cause because it is the holder of the Note and Security Instrument on 2119 Old Ox Road—that is, the Lot Sixty-Five that Glassel implies is united with Lot Sixty-Four (2123 Old Ox Road) as one “residential and business homestead.”
Pl.’s Original Pet. at ¶ 5. (See Exhibit D.)
There are common questions of law and fact in Deutsche Bank’s Original Complaint attached as Exhibit A and Glassel’s claims against the property or properties and the lenders who hold interests in those properties include .
See Pl.’s Original Pet.
Those questions of law include whether the liens on the property or properties are valid and whether the lenders have the right to foreclose.
III. PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Deutsche Bank respectfully requests that the Court grant its Motion to Intervene and grant that Deutsche Bank’s Complaint in Intervention, attached hereto as Exhibit A, become part of the official record of the above- numbered and styled cause, and grant Deutsche Bank any other relief, whether at law or in equity, to which it is justly entitled.
