"THE SUBPOENAS ARE FLYING. HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!" Independent Bank Files "Notice of Intention" To Serve Multiple Subpoenas In Full Spectrum Management Bankruptcy Adversary Case

Independent Bank's attorney, Sandra Hamilton, is digging like a woodchuck!

A notice filed May 10, 2021 by Hamilton in U. S. Bankruptcy Court for Michigan's Western District revealed a series of subpoenas relating to Full Spectrum Management's bankruptcy adversary case would shortly be issued, ordering Traverse City-based Rehmann, Padgett Business Services, Harris Group CPAs and CPA Lee Torrey to produce "documents, information, objects" to Hamilton by June 1, 2021.


Noss reported to the Grand Traverse Academy during a February 2, 2017 board meeting that he'd hired Rehmann as Full Spectrum's accountant. 

In addition, it appears from the information contained in the May 10 filing that Noss used the services of at least two other Certified Public Accountants (Ron Harris and Lee Torrey) for his personal and business tax returns.

MARK NOSS SEEKS NEARLY $50,000 FROM TRAVERSE CITY FOR ALLEGED DAMAGES TO FULL SPECTRUM EYECARE FROM SEWAGE BACK-UP: "A Combination Of Roots and Rags", & Nearly $1,000 For "Art Recovery"


Just days before Mark Noss began sending hefty (and secret) payments to Steven Ingersoll in April 2014, something really crappy happened.

Allegedly.

According to a complaint filed April 12, 2021, in Grand Traverse County Circuit Court, a sewage back-up occurred in 2014,  followed by a second in 2018, at 328 Munson Avenue, a property owned by Noss and his wife that houses Full Spectrum Eyecare.

Although flush with cash after signing a contract in March 2014 to manage the Grand Traverse Academy, a charter school that paid him $850,000 in a management fee the first full year (ending June 30, 2015), Noss is claiming nearly $8,000 in "lost income".


In the complaint, Noss alleges the 2014 back-up occurred due to a "defect" in the city's sewage disposal system. Noss maintains that another back-up occurred around May 24, 2018 as a result of an April 23, 2018 incident the city "failed to repair, correct or remedy".

The City of Traverse City denied previous claims made by Noss to recover nearly $50,000 in damages, loss and attorney fees (doesn't this dude have insurance?), spurring the civil lawsuit. 

Traverse City has 21 days to respond.
