Lawyerjess, you can add this to your Spenla File:

On June 24, 2011

Superior Court Judicial District of Hartford: Docket No. CV-10-600-8978-S entered findings of fact, which have now become final for purposes of an appeal, were made against Spenla that stated: " According to Testimony, [Spenla] closed the account on which the post-dated checks had been drawn. He made no more payments despite promising plaintiff several times to do so." and "The defendant's only defense to his sub-lease to own agreement was that the lease agreement plaintiff had with Porsche prohibited sub-leasing agreements. Nevetheless, Porsche Tactitly approved of the arrangement so long as Porsche was being paid....wherefore the factfinder recommends that "the court enter judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $17,675.27"

He also has a pending judgment from ripping off his former landlady, an 87 year old Chinese widow. Attorney Bradley Silverbush handled that case.

Lastly, on the brokering end, Spenla ripped off a friend he knew for over 15 years. An OSJ owner needed brokers and so he went to this friend who said if he provided him with brokers resulting in a fee, that they would share the fee. Spenla finagled the OSJ owner to part with 25K, did he pay a nickel to the Landlady or Porsche owner? NO!!!" But he ALSO RIPPED OFF his friend who expected to receive $12,500.00 for providing the brokers which induced the fee.

Now he has burnt two more relationships.

LawyerJess --- what do you call someone who acts like this?

Todd Spenla is a flat out fraudster. I read this report and can tell you that I too have a file on him and his associates. His m/o is too claim he has clients under signature, which usually he does not, and then claims he has investors,which he does not, and then goes to the company to get a large retainer because he "has investors ready to go." There is no evidence he has ever delivered a completed financing, but he has been able to secure retainers. Amazing. A ponzi of it's own. A client of ours was duped by this guy as he actually had no written relationship with the hotelier he claimed to represent. This folks, is fraud. I suggest staying away from this guy. Was working with a guy called Allen Shoening who seems to be ok but when you associate with a fraud, are you one too?

Add this as well:

While this is not a direct response from a consumer of Todd Spenla’s business dealings- so called business—it’s believed that no real business actually takes place between TS and his clients. He is fraudulent corrupt and crooked. THIS IS a landlord beware notice, and tangentially retailed to all the other postings on the Internet. Todd Spenla has been evicted, yet again. On Aug. 13, 2011 a NYC Marshal placed an eviction and order to vacate letter on the door of his apartment. Just a small amount of research reveals that this is probably his third eviction. There are probably more. Landlords beware, because he never paid his rent the entire eight months he lived in the apartment on the lower east side. He and his partner lived for free. Causing much disruption, endless disturbances and even taunting of other neighbors, TODD SPENLA and his partner were the worst tenants EVER to live on Lower East Side. Pathologically lying from month to month in order to maintain a residence, finding ways not to pay the rent, he managed to stay in the apartment for eight long months. He is truly a creepy person. All the other residents of the building suffered deeply while he (they) resided there as tenants.
The police came to the building about a dozen times within that eight-month period, as they were causing disruptions to the entire neighborhood- A result of the couple’s constant fighting. NYC LANDLORDS BEWARE! Never rent an apartment to this guy.
THE neighborhood is such a better place without him.
