Despite pipeline to God, Don Bell's Security Savings Bank is knock-knock-knocking on the door to Regulator Hell

Well, Don Bell's pipeline to God is apparently clogged.
Don Bell, who financed the election of Olathe Mayor Mike Copeland--and then put him on the board for Security Savings Bank, is finally getting investigated.
Let's hope it's before we taxpayers have to bail out old Donnie, thru FDIC guarantees.

I never liked the policies of the Nazarene Church, which controls Olathe politics to a great extent.
That's the church that loans money to favored members.
Gee, and they are tax exempt! Shouldn't that be illegal? But of course, the Star refuses to report it. I've been telling them about it for 15 years since I discovered former Shawnee State Rep. Phill Kline changed religions and found not just God, but campaign loans and eternal funding.

No wonder former Kansas AG and former Johnson County Prosecutor Phill Kline switched from Methodist to Nazarene.
Follow the money!

If you change religions after the age of 35 and it's not for a marriage, there's something suspicious goin' on.

I met Don Bell and his team years ago, even before he got into banking. I declined to pursue being the ad agency for their extended family's homebuilding business because they were SO cheesy and over the top. It was like the Elmer Gantry Homebuilder Clan. "Sit down, brother, and get close to the Lord." Even then, I didn't trust them because they were creepy. Unctuous. The only difference I could see between them and certain Mormon cults was they didn't have multiple wives. At least in public. But the women were all deferential, e.g. silent and adoring of Papa Don.

And they did have "cult hair". You either get my meaning, or you don't watch TV news when they seize those compounds and drag the kids away from their brainwashed, doe-eyed mothers.

I learned many years ago to never do business with anyone who mentions Jesus in the first meeting. Because they always turn out to be more like the thieves on the cross than the Son of God/Son of Man in the center of it all.

Don Bell's inbred clan built some seriously undersized, crummy homes--like doll houses, so men who ever played football could not navigate the narrow stairs and had to lower their heads when they went thru the doorways. Worse yet, many of the homes were notorious for flaky paint, drafty windows, and they leaked! But by golly, they had all that gingerbread trim on the eves of the houses, and little paned windows. Yeah, below the substandard roof built without any felt beneath the shingles!! And the roofers cheated out on the flashing as well.

These homes were the target of several lawsuits by groups pursuing substandard builders of brand new homes.

When I was introduced to the Great and Powerful Don Bell, he bragged that he let his wife and kids name the streets after scenes from Anne of Green Gables. Oh, it was like the early chapters of a Stephen King novel. I swear, when I walked in their offices to meet with The Family, I heard those wild Widor pipe organ concertos in the background. It was a scene from a bad movie about a haunted house. And now--old Don's on the 4th reel and the house of cards, including his bank, and the political hacks who sold their souls to him to get elected, is falling apart.

Now just in case anyone tries to sue me, remember: the truth is its own defense.

And shame on the regulators! Do they go that church as well? Geez, between Madoff and Don Bell and Goldman Sachs, there are a whole lot of preposterously naive and lazy or crooked regulators asleep at the wheel.

So tell your friends to watch their money. And you heard about it FIRST in KC on AllThingsJoco.blogspot.com
