Fall Semester 2024: How to Make a Fortune off a Haitian

Mayor Rob Rue cried to Governor DeWine about how to handle Springfield's August and September 2024 national spotlight. The entire Ohio Syndicate colluded to humiliate and punish the citizens of this town.

To summarize the corruption here. The Buckeye Reporter article:

Special report: Renting Apartments to Haitians is BIg Business for Springfield Mayor Rob Rue and Others

and a Twitter/X article entitled:

Dark Money, Haitian Migrants, and Real Estate Scams: What’s Really Happening in Ohio?, by Kristy Tallman.

I don't know what this joker could possibly be screaming about. He's legally stolen more than most of his citizen neighbors here. Not only that, if y'all need to voodoo scream, go the fuck home.

Mayor Rob Rue cried to Governor DeWine about how to handle the Springfield's national spotlight that started with animals and quickly included everything else. The entire Ohio Syndicate colluded to humiliate and punish the citizens of this town.

The City "imported" geese and ducks from Indianapolis in the dark of night. Before the second media truck arrived, there were ducks in the park again where there had been none for 3 years.

Videos had been submitted to the City Manager long before Fall 2024 of dead animals in neighborhoods. Most had been carved up, obviously for food. Heck and his Legal Fixer Jill Allen found the loophole in wordsmithing the City response. "Pets" vs. "Domesticated animals".

In the ABC article, https://abc7ny.com/post/haitian-migrants-springfield-ohio-weigh-future-donald-trump-threatens-deportations/15424464/, Heck saw nothing but opportunity. He started asking for federal and state monies for everything BUT citizens. More Haitian housing, more Haitian translators, more Haitian medical care. "Let's get them more resources!"

City Manager Bryan Heck sent a letter to Sens. Sherrod of Ohio Brown and Tim Scott of South Carolina - then cc'd Vance in July of 2024 - regarding "a significant strain," regarding housing.

"I didn't call it a migrant crisis. I didn't call it an immigration crisis. It's a housing crisis," Heck told CNN. "The pace of growth for our community is just - was not sustainable and continues to not be sustainable unless we get some additional support from the state and federal government," Heck said.

Rent also went up, partly from the increased demand of a new population but driven also by the "greed of landlords," as Mayor Rue put it during a July City Commission meeting. Prices were also likely affected by nationwide inflation in recent years.


Wikipedia has an entire section dedicated to the Springfield Hoax on Rob Rue's page. it never was a hoax. So Rue, DeWine, Heck, the County Commissioners, the media were the liars. Then President-elect Trump announced that he wanted to have a rally in Springfield. Rue panicked - he HATES Trump (still says this in every meeting a year later). DeWine called in his imaginary bomb threats.

In February 2025, Bryan Heck was given a Profile in Courage Award. By nobody but his peers, meaning, meaningless. They are constantly giving each other awards and certificates and pats on the back. It's half of most of the Commission meetings.

The Perfect Storm (and Summary)

https://www.springfielddvc.com/post/part-3-why-should-springfield-be-concern-about-haitians

It Pays to be Haitian

United Way $7,000 voucher to start their own businesses.

Free healthcare (there are those who say this isn't true, but it absolutely is.)

Free driver's licenses, school, etc. ~20% work. And those that do, have been instructed (community center, coalitions, and over 100 churches in the city limits) to avoid taxes by claiming the maximum number of dependents. They won't be filing tax returns, after all.

I can't find any financials (990s) online for ANY Haitian nonprofit associated with Springfield, Ohio. Imagine that.

The Haitian Bridge Alliance

In 2025, this organization has amassed over $230 million dollars in assets. From $6.6 million in 2023. (They haven't published their 2024 forms yet. Will they?) From $25,000 in revenue in 2018 to $4.2 million in 2022. They have unlimited resources, it seems, to lobby the Feds for Haitians (explains why even the Trump admin and Kristi Noem have done nothing), hire lawyers for them to make sure any "infractions" are expunged (2 and no more TPS beneifts) and to start their "pretend" path to citizenship. They paid Ryan and Ryan for Jacob Payen's, Springfield's Haitian career criminal and gang leader, defense. He ended up with probation and a $250 fine, I believe. A citizen would be under the jail if they had committed 1/4 of the offenses he has.

How to Personally Profit from a Haitian

Garland Properties, LTD

Owned by real estate attorney Matthew LaBuhn of ONR Biz Agency and OndaLaBuhn Real Estate in Columbus, Ohio. He's been buying up properties here for 2 decades. BUT, when the first 7,000 Haitians become noticeable, he started snatching up properties like never before. He now has over 1,000.

His Google reviews summarize what he's been doing for the last 5 years. He evicts tenants for the sole purpose of replacing them with Haitians. Where he might normally charge $800 for rent to a citizen, he can triple for a Haitian. Not only that, he can rent by the room, or by the work shift. This contributes to the homeless population, of course. Nothing Haitian ever affects tax revenue (that's all on the citizens to foot all the bills) - he's known for "hiring" his Haitian tenants to do handyman and yard work at his properties. All under the table.

Lagos and Lagos, Lagos Properties, etc.

Two old lawyers in Springfield, who own about 83 properties (some look to be parcels of land).

See Garland Properties above. Identical SOP. https://www.lagosandlagoslaw.com/

Ten Enterprises, LLC


George Ten owns ~50 properties under Ten Enterprises. He and his father, Miguel Ten, own First Diversity Staffing (now in sanctuary cities throughout the country) and Miguel owned a church here for years that he just "sold" to Impact City Church of Springfield with a quick quit-claim deed and a name change. Yes, the spider web of greed and deceit knows no end.

The Jewish Journal reported that the State AG and Feds were investigating, but nothing ever happened or happens.

So, Ten's SOP:

  1. Register as the ONLY source of applicants/employees with as many greedy companies** as possible (McGregor, Topiary, Dole - you can find YouTube videos in August and September 2024 with these disgusting people).

    **This isn't much of a sales job at all, because thanks to the WOTC federal tax credit, businesses got $9,600 per Haitian per year in tax credit. As in, their standard/itemized deduction that directly reduces the bottom line. So, McGregor, who hired 30 Haitians (we'll low-ball) received $288,000 per year off his tax bill. In his NATIONALLY aired interviews, he told the whole world that the citizens didn't apply, didn't work, and that "Haitians are just better".

  2. Register the Haitians with your staffing company upon drop-off at the Lowe's truck stop on I-70. See #4 that you've done to prepare. Sign them up for your housing, too.

  3. Take 10%? 20%? 50% off the top as temp agencies do.

  4. Teach them how to claim dependents, so they can keep all their money and send it home. Record in the news is a Haitian who self-deported because, "I saved $50,000 while I was here and sent twice that home. We never have to work again."

  5. Buy as many rundown properties as possible to rent to the Haitians, because they come with a HUGE housing allowance. Words on the street were 900 or 1,000. So you sign them up for a job, or not, and then assign them to one of your houses. Ten per house is even better. The record in the news was 60. Rent by the shift or the bed, whenever possible.

  6. Evict anyone who gets in your way. All those people you or LaBuhn may have rented to for 5-10 years. OUT they go!

  7. Send them to your father's church to get organized. Help them pool their funds and take advantage of all the federal, state, NGO, and nonprofit freebies (St Vincent de Paul - think Catholic Charities, etc.).

  8. See pooling funds #5. This is critical to taking over the city.

Mayor Rob Rue

See photos of his funeral home and surrounding properties. And the fence.

  1. In October 2016, file an amendment with the Ohio SoS to change your HKR Properties business entity (incorporated in 2003 H=Hoeschler, K=Kampman, and R= Rue) to Littleton Properties of Springfield, LLC.

  2. Have Bill Hoelscher sign it.

  3. Then a month later, in November, buy the Littleton Funeral Home from the City for $440,000 after renting it from the City for 20 years at $500 per month. (It had been left to the City by Ms. Littleton with stipulations in her will about donating to parks and leasing the Home for the low amount.)

  4. Then, in 2017, run for City Commissioner and win with 4,804 votes.

  5. Then, rest for a minute not to draw attention.

  6. In June 2021, purchase more properties under Littleton Properties of Springfield, LLC. Make sure these are duplexes with 6 bedrooms ON EACH SIDE. Change the two duplexes you already own from HKR Enterprises to Littleton Properties.

  7. Wait for the Haitians to come en masse in a couple of months (Ten and DeWine and Catholic Charities and all the Usual Suspects working on the DelRio mass push). Remove any and all tenants to rent to Haitians.

  8. In 2022, best "welcoming" pal, Copeland appoints you to Assistant Mayor before he announces his retirement the following year. In less than a year, run UNOPPOSED for mayor and "win" (a town and county with a crazy amount of one-person ballots) with 9,446 votes.

  9. Keep 'em coming!! 2023 would be a stellar money year for this city, especially for the "greedy" ones.

  10. Call landlords who do what you just did "greedy" in a September 2024 Commission meeting. And start the YEARS of claims to have been misquoted, when the nation's watching. Springfield citizens don't count - they're easy to lie to, but the nation. Just pretend you're "sick and tired of being misquoted".

Rue's Quotes and "Misquotes"

Number 1: I do not rent to Haitians.

Said in a Commission meeting during the national spotlight. <Insert link here> - coming...

Number 2: I have seven properties and two have non-Haitians.

Update: Springfield commissioners deny claims they profit from Haitian influx (August 30, 2024)

“I want to talk about the accusation about me having a partnership with someone who owns several rentals and I’m benefiting from immigrants in our community in owning rentals. I do not,” Rue said. “I do have an LLC that owns the business that I work in and three properties attached to that, that include seven total rentals … I have owned two of the rentals that have non-Haitian folks in them for 15 years. They are adjacent to my business.

“I bought two other properties, one of them I lived in when I was 1-year old, right behind my business, so we could have control of how they look,” Rue continued. “Over the decades I’ve seen them. They have been in shambles and it’s not that way anymore. I have control over the property.

“Each side is a three-bedroom, one-bath that I charge $900 for,” Rue said. “That’s it. You’ve just heard the extent of my entire rental property history … The whole purpose is to have a little bit of control over the whole neighborhood so that it looks good for the folks that are in our business.”

Number 3: They're homes, not apartments. And yes, he rents to Haitians but at "market rate".

Special report: Renting Apartments to Haitians is Big Business for Springfield Mayor Rob Rue and Others (Sept 15, 2024)

"A Buckeye Reporter investigation has confirmed that Mayor Rob Rue of Springfield, Ohio, is renting out apartments in buildings that he owns to Haitian immigrants—a move that some local residents are calling a conflict of interest.

A few blocks away from Little and Rue Funeral Home, also owned by Rue, a 37-year-old man who introduced himself as “Works” lives in an apartment on an estate worth an estimated $1.3 million.

Works told Buckeye Reporter that he and other Haitian immigrants reside in properties owned by Rue."

Landlords rent to Haitians per room in the house - thus the most reported in the city being 60+ in a house, renting by room, by shift, by bed.

Rue has also said that he bought these properties in particular because they surround his Littleton and Rue Funeral Home and he "was tired of looking at them". He thinks he fixed them up?

A company across Limestone Street - actually in front of the funeral home - purchased almost an entire corner (Limestone and Cassilly Streets) and rehabbed them for apartments. What Rue did was not that. He didn't have to, though. His plan was to be a landlord to Haitians, renting two sides in one house for $10,000+ a month.

The houses even more in his direct view that didn't bother him. This gem is birdseye view to the north - nothing obscuring the view.

This entire corner was bought and rehabbed . Birdseye view in front of the funeral home across Limestone St.

This is directly behind the funeral home on Mason and blocked by a 10-foot fence. And "fixed up". He bought 818-820, 822-824, and 828-830 for $250K each all in June 2021.

This is directly behind the funeral home on Mason and blocked by a 10-foot fence. And "fixed up". He bought 818-820, 822-824, and 828-830 for $250K each all in June 2021.

And just next door to the ones he bought. Easily visible because it's not blocked by the fence he erected. This one didn't bother him either.

Just a little closer up view of one of the houses he bought, fixed up so he could look at something nicer. Then put up a fence to block his view. Definitely inhabited by Haitians, but at least I didn't see 50 of them any time I checked.

Looking at the front of the funeral home from the corner with Limestone, just to the left is the boarded up house. It's just one in a row of houses that should probably be condemned.

City Manager Bryan Heck

Heck's SOP:

  1. Use federal, state, county, and local taxpayer funds however you want to. Give out $60K raises to your favorites.

  2. Launder the tax money through Springfield Foundation, so nobody can track it.

  3. Outsource everything you can to private companies.

  4. Follow state and your own orders not to collect data on Haitians. Remember, two infractions and their TPS status ends and you want as much of other people's money as you can get. For yourself.

  5. Make sure everyone in the city and county and media follow your rules.

  6. Make deals with the banks to give first dibs for houses and buildings for business. For example, sell your fire station to the Haitian Community Center (run by Jacob Payen - a career criminal currently in court for a firearm in a county building).

  7. Make sure the Ten and LaBuhn properties (for Haitians) aren't assessed, so they don't owe any property taxes.

  8. Make deals with companies for everything else - free phones, driver's licenses (BMV Sheila Rice crookedness), brand new cars, new clothes, etc. They come with MONEY,. so "Let's get them resources!!"

  9. Make a deal with Jacob Payen, career criminal, for him to buy the fire station (the City Manager built new and didn't even list it for reasons he thinks we can't figure out) in November 2024 for his Haitian Community and Support Center at 735 Pleasant FOR ZERO dollars and ZERO taxes.

  10. Launder tax revenue through the Springfield Foundation as much as possible.

  11. Tell the citizens that none of their city taxes were used for resources for the Haitians. Oh, but also tell the citizens that the town is broke.

  12. Use the $10 million from DeWine when you and Rue cried to Andy Wilson about needing help (the citizens were begging for help) to build the Haitians a brand new medical facility (while telling us it's for "everyone"), hire scads of translators and translation services, but at all costs, DO NOT spend a dime on a citizen.

  13. Give yourself a Profile in Courage award for spending over $100 million dollars on fire stations and parking lots and new housing developers and astronomical salary increases and torching properties for insurance monies economic development and sit back and enjoy. (Although, there's no rest in corruption. Constantly changing stories and such.) To be fair, he was given this award by Ohio City/County Management Association (OCMA). Yep, that's a thing. There have never been more nonprofits, associations, partnerships, foundations, committees, coalitions in a town.

Mike DeWine

  1. Lie. Make sure the entire Ohio Syndicate knows what the lies are.

  2. Call in your own bomb threats, so Rue can invoke emergency powers (which, yes, are in the City Charter, but not for imaginary bomb threats) to prevent President-elect Trump from having a rally here.

  3. The city lost millions in revenue? Schools were shut down and children scared half to death? Tough. Maybe they'll all leave. We want them gone, anyway and by any means necessary.

  4. See #1.

  5. In every news interview, discuss how wonderful Springfield is doing despite the HOAX in 2024. In this article, he talks about the town growing: https://www.10tv.com/article/news/local/dewine-says-springfield-is-moving-forward-after-controversy/530-703f7484-9597-4c78-abbc-c9e7df641abd. I have no idea what the hell he's talking about - except for the number of Haitians here which never stops increasing.

Sheila Rice Henry, Former Deputy Registrar at the Ohio BMV for 20 years

  1. In 2018, purchase 1530 S Yellow Springs St for $30K in 2018. In 2024, sell it to the First Haitian Evangelical Church of Springfield, Ohio, for $249K. https://clarkcountyauditor.org/Parcel?Parcel=3400600003204007. Some might think this is an obvious payback for all the avoidance of laws? Noooo, couldn't be.

  2. Make sure the City Manager talks to the County Auditor to keep the Assessed value low so they don't have much of a property tax bill. A value of 60K in 2025 seems right.

  3. Make sure there are no requirements, no IDs, no testing for Haitian drivers at the BMV.

  4. Before leaving, teach your replacement how to pick up the Haitian baton. Not long after, the corruption will close the BMV down. (She was forced out, finally, and was "elected" Clark County clerk where she stayed for a minute.)

  5. Become a real estate agent.

  6. Never worry about a thing! You're in Springfield, Ohio!!
