kprc2 is Bryce Newberry live in The
0:16
Newsroom with a revelation we learned
0:18
today Bryce Daniela and Keith the piece
0:20
of property allegedly bought using these
0:23
intended parents money got transferred
0:25
to a new defendant which violated a
0:27
judge's orderorder and tonight we're
0:28
told that transfer was fraudulent that
0:31
signatures got forged to make it
0:34
happen it's undeveloped land covered in
0:37
trees and overgrown with an estimated
0:39
worth of half a million dollars
0:41
attorneys claim Houston company
0:43
surrogacy escrow account management and
0:45
owner Dominique side bought it in 2018
0:48
using intended parents money since an
0:50
apparent Financial collapse of the
0:52
company the deed has transferred Twice
0:54
first to her business partner Anthony
0:56
Hall then to a woman named Helen yansy
0:58
my client did not sign that deed period
1:01
Hall's attorney defending him outside of
1:03
Court Friday after the deed transfer
1:05
filed July 17th shows he signed the
1:08
property over to yansy in violation of a
1:10
judge's order that froze the land do you
1:13
believe that signature was forged it was
1:15
forged we've crossed out his name but we
1:17
track down the notary whose stamp shows
1:19
on the deed he tells me he's only been
1:22
involved in one property transfer with
1:24
yansy and it wasn't this one did
1:27
Dominique and Anthony actually sign the
1:29
deed yes reached by phone earlier this
1:31
week yansy claimed the property was
1:33
payment for her consulting services that
1:35
got side and Hall millions in loans that
1:38
the deed was legit when did they sign it
1:40
okay I'm sorry I don't remember off the
1:42
top of my head the exact day but yeah if
1:45
I say anything other than they're Li so
1:48
read the deed everything is there she's
1:50
now a defendant in the lawsuit as
1:52
attorneys fight to get the property back
1:53
in Hall's name and block any future deed
1:56
transfers so it could potentially be
1:58
sold to repay victims they stretch from
2:00
the west coast to Dubai each out tens of
2:03
thousands of dollars money supposed to
2:05
help them have children of their own
2:07
instead lawyers claim Dominique
2:09
mismanaged it to fund a lavish lifestyle
2:12
that's mine that's mine and bankroll her
2:15
music career we are deeply saddened by
2:18
the negative experiences that the
2:19
Plaines are going through my client has
2:21

2:24
innocent I've been going through public

Harris County residents whose properties
