Additional Information About Alan Doyle
Following is a brief outline of evidence brought to light of the fraudulent activity that has transpired, and continues to transpire, from Alan Doyle and his company -- Larew, Doyle and Associates. Unfortunately, the most recent allegations of fraud and corruption cannot be outlined in this document due to these documents not being public record as yet.
More details of Alan Doyle's alleged fraud and deceit can be viewed at www.andrewlarew.com as well as www.larew-doyle.com. A copy of the lawsuit brought against Larew, Doyle and their other co-conspirators can also be found on these websites.
- On or about July 2008 Alan Doyle and Andrew Larew began conspiring to defraud Larew's ex-wife, Rebecca larew, and her young children of assets and child support monies due per order of the Connecticut Superior Court.
- On January 12, 2009 Alan Doyle signed testamentary papers with the Connecticut Secretary of State as "Manager" of a new company "Larew, Doyle and Associates LLC." Per the new comapny's operating agreement, Doyle owned only 1% of the company, was due NONE of the profits, had absolutely no management responsibilities, and was to have no knowledge of the actual function of the company.
- Through Doyle and Larew's scheme to defraud Larew's ex-wife and young children, Larew's new wife, Chrissy Wojcik was to own the remaining 99% of the company. The attached records show that Larew and Doyle funneled and laundered hundreds of thousands of dollars through "Larew Doyle" with no goal other than to defraud. Court documents show that Larew and Doyle used these corporate funds to pay for extravagant personal trips, expensive gifts, and even reprehensively used these corporate funds to get Andrew Larew out of jail due to non-payment of very child support that the team was defrauding Larew's wife and young children of.
- On January 13, 2009 Alan Doyle stated clearly in his email to Andrew Larew that he did not want to be a signator on any of Larew, Doyle and Associates bank accounts. Obviously, Doyle had temporary misgivings on the extent of his fraudulent involvement. Doyle's temporary misgivings to the fraud quickly gave way to greed. On January 16, 2009 Alan Doyle drove two hours from Providence RI to Fairfield CT in order to sign all of Larew Doyle's bank account opening documents. Once again, Doyle signed as "Manager" of Larew's fraudulent enterprise without having any management function or involvement in the company whatsoever.
- As stated earlier, further evidence of Alan Doyle's alleged conspiracy to defraud Larew's ex-wife and young children is awaiting trial in the $100 million RICO and Racketeering case filed against Doyle and Larew. However, below is a brief explanation of how Doyle allegedly defrauded insurance companies and banks.
- Christine Morrell wrote the attached memo describing Alan Doyle, and his employee Lori Mancini's alleged fraud on June 30, 2008. After a mortgage broker (Doyle) underwrites a multi-million dollar mortgage on behalf of an insurace company or bank, he is required to inspect the property on a yearly basis to ensure that the building is still standing, and in good repair. Morrell, in her memo describes the fraud and deceit that Doyle and Mancini committed with reference to these inspections.
- Put plainly, Doyle and Mancini conspired to forego these inspections due to greed. Per Mancini's attached "internal" memo of response to Morrell's accusations, (addressed to Alan Doyle), Mancini states to Doyle that he directed her to lie on the site visit report.
- The only possible conclusion to draw is that Doyle clearly directed his employee to falsify documents pertaining to a $21.5 million loan from Morgan Stanley (This $21 million loan later went into default). In Doyle's subsequent memo to his partner, he described the incident as "minor", "handled in house", and "nothing to be concerned with." Doyle further stated that it was unneccessary to involve the lender, Morgan Stanley, with such a trivial issue.
- Lastly, in the attached memo from Doyle's former partner's Legal team, Alan Doyle was admonished for his reprehensible and fraudulent actions, and backcharged thousands of dollars due to the fraud. Doyle did not represent in any way that this withholding was unjust -- thereby admitting his guilt.
It is incomprehensible that Alan Doyle should be in a position of trust as a member of the Board of Home and Hospice of Rhode Island. It is further reprehensible that The State of Rhode Island would allow Doyle to retain his license to provide mortgage brokerage services and other licenses that he holds.
