The Seattle Times article does not even begin to tell the whole story. I know Kandi, and I am also the person who referred Jeff Marsh to Kandi. I did not receive nor ask for a referral fee from Kandi. Marsh worked for some people I know, I heard about his issue with the Tax Man. Marsh was ready to get a loan with another hard money lender but I spoke with Emile and he agreed to give Marsh a loan for 5% less than what he was going to get from the other guy. I told Jeff that this was his last chance and not to miss a payment, others did as well. Jeff missed a payment and cried foul when his house was taken away. As for Provost, (the single mother) she signed her documents at Ticor title. It took her 2.5 hours to sign them. She also made changes to the contract that she did not feel comfortable with. She also asked and received 2 extensions from Emile. The news paper also "forgot" to mention that she sued Emile 2 days before her contract was even due and that she walked away from the signing with a $24,000 check that she was to use to remodel the house in question. My question is why is this not in the paper and why is the News Tribune not asking these questions. Oh, by the way, I have copies of the documents (that I got from Emile) if anybody at the TNT wants to do their job...

Kandi later said he inserted the tenfold figure to protect himself financially and to pay for any future legal costs. Kandi also had Marsh sign over his rights to the property using what is known as a quitclaim deed. According to the terms of the loan, if Marsh missed repaying any Rating: 5
