Cecil after receiving a warning letter from Waterloo Loan and Trust of Waterloo Iowa about a 50 000 loan on a 10 000 acre tract in Oliver county near Hannover. The fraud involved forged deeds and abstracts, and Gaines’ timely advice prevented transfer and potential lawsuits. Investigations link Cecil to prior farm mortgage schemes and earlier sales.
