Early in the year 2000, our client, Dr. Goff of Ohio, began researching the possibility of acquiring a noble title based upon the German history of his family name and contacted Antonio Boada, British Feudal Investments, LTD., via their website at www.nobletitles.com

Antonio Boada represented to Client Goff that BFI was empowered to broker the sale of a feudal title to the Principality of Halberstadt, offered for sale by the Imperial and Royal Hohenzollern family of Germany. Succinctly put, for the sum of $20,000 US dollars, Boada offered Client Goff license to call himself the Prince of Halberstadt.

As evidence of his integrity, and the legitimacy of his business, Boada provided Client Goff a Letter of Reference dated October 10, 1999, on the letterhead of Republic Security Bank, West Palm Beach Office and signed by Mark T. Williams, Operations Supervisor.  This correspondence assures, “Whomever it may concern,” that “Their client, British Feudal Investments, Ltd., (BFI) are held by us in the highest esteem.”

This Letter of Reference recommends BFI very highly and goes on to state, inter alia, that:

• They have a 15 year record for honesty, integrity,  . . . and fair dealing; and
• They have never been sued, nor settled out of court on any account; and
• They are very financially stable and have shown profits for every single year; and
• They are the first and only company reputable and solid enough to offer title indemnity insurance for the feudal titles they sell.

Although it should be obvious to anyone who has any experience with banks and banking practices that the letter is a fraud, Republic Security Bank officials deny the legitimacy of this correspondence.  We were told that nobody at Republic Security Bank has the capability to make these determinations and they would not incur the liability associated with making such representations if they did have this information. They can be contacted at: Repubic Security Bank 450 South Australian Avenue West Palm Beach, FL 33401 (561) 802 4000

The reference is signed by Mark Thomas Williams, a former employee of Republic Security Bank who is reported to be ineligible for rehire.  His relationship with Boada is not strictly professional - following his divorce, Williams began living with Boada.  Although Williams ex-wife declined to return numerous phone calls, several other sources stated that it is common knowledge that Boada and Williams are a "homosexual couple".

In addition to providing this bogus Letter of Reference, Mark T. Williams has assisted Boada in promoting and furthering his various scams by using his position as a Notary Public to authenticate signatures and provide endorsements that are the subject of serious dispute.
