The Affidavits
"By then we decided we'd made a terrible mistake."
The following are actual affidavits from good people that helped Scott with sworn statements about the truth of Mark Towle and Kory Geick!
Above are links that will take you to the affidavits of Kevin Patnode and Leon Waziak. Don't forget to check them out as well.
This first affidavit was provided by Sandra McKee who lost seven thousand dollars to Mark Towle and Kory Geick. Sandra is a very nice honest Lady that lives in Waxahachie, Texas. Her and her husband, Charles set out to build a replica of the Munsters Mansion from the 60's hit TV Show, the Munsters, her web site can be viewed here.
"As you might expect, Sandra McKee was contacted by Kory Geick and led down a bad road and lost all of her money. She expressed to Scott that the costs to recover her losses from Mark Towle in legal fees would have far exceeded her losses so she basically had to suffer the loss of some $8,000. Her money was never returned to her even after her Munster's Koach was sold to Russ Martin a radio host in California. Mark Towle just simply pocketed her money and never offered her a refund after he breached their agreement and then demanded she pay him $25,000 or sue him."
Sandra is the perfect example of what Mark Towle and Kory Geick are known to do. They make a deal, Mark Towle builds their replica with their money to a certain level, Mark looks for a way to get out of that deal, and then after ditching his original client, completes the replica and sells it for far more money than he originally contracted for to a much wealthier person. Many have claimed this is "Racketeering" and is prosecutable under the Federal Rico laws of the United States.
Saundra has been spotlighted in several News Features and videos that are embedded below, so be sure to watch these after you read what was done to her by Mark Towle and Kory Geick. Her sworn to be true statement is written in her own handwriting and signed by a notary. Here is her story as she tells it herself.
A couple of things are to be taken notice of according to Sandra's testimony. According to the Testimony of Sandra McKee we can say that it's more likely true than not that...
1. Mark Towle breached their agreement by stating he had moved forward with construction of the Munsters Koach without getting the payment from the McKees to do so. That would be a Breach of Contract.
2. Mark Towle couldn't be bothered to be around when his client needed to come verify the work. After he told the McKee's before going into the deal they could visit any weekend. That's just absurd! That would be a Breach of Verbal Agreement.
3. Mark Towle refused to send any proof that he had made any progress at all on the Munsters Koach yet we was demanding his usual paid amount of $25,000 dollars attempted coerced from the McKees with absolutely no proof he had nearly completed the Koach much less made any progress. Read what is defined in her contract yourself.
4. Here again we see a client stating clearly that Kory Geick was handling Mark Towle's business but as we saw earlier he committed perjury in Scott Lee's case by swearing in his declaration to the West Virginia court he had never had any business associations with Mark Towle.
5. Here again we see Mark Towle's contract demands that the Koach will be delivered to the McKee's at his shop. Never allow Mark to make any delivery to you at his shop. If he wants to lock up your property and deny you any in hand ownership he simply can and he has. He did this to Scott after fully agreeing that Scott Lee owned his Batmobile Kit. He simply refused to set a date and a time for it to be picked up.
6. The McKee's instincts were likely correct, had they paid Mark Towle another $25,000 dollars he likely would still have not been available and at that point they likely would have lost $32,000 instead of $7,000.
7. Mark Towle had no right at all to demand $25,000 from the McKee's. By their agreement he was not to continue work until he was paid to continue. Basically, Mark Towle placed an unofficial Mechanic's lien on their Koach and attempted to coerce $25,000 from the McKees without even showing them any evidence of any progress at all on their replica. Mark Towle took their $7,000 hostage and their replica and demanded over 4 times the amount of monetary payment in increments they had agreed to.
8. Upon arrival in California, Charles McKee not only could not get in touch with Mark, he didn't know where his shop was, and also Kory Geick stopped answering his phone as well for him.
9. I think the picture is pretty clear here. The McKees felt like they were surely getting ripped off and Mark Towle was very happy to take their money after intentionally making them feel uncomfortable so he could ditch them, keep their $7,000 and then sell their replica to a much wealthier person. It was Mark Towle that breached the agreement and not the McKees according to this very honest woman that lives in Texas.
10. For the Mckees to be able to get their $7,000 back they would have likely had to spend some $50,000 in legal fees that they would have never recovered.
Sandra and Charles later achieved their Dream of building not only a Munsters Koach but also a Dragula with decent car builders and not with the likes of Mark Towle!
NEITHER SCOTT LEE NOR SANDRA MCKEE RECOMMEND ANYONE EVER DOING BUSINESS WITH MARK TOWLE NOR KORY GEICK IN ANY WAY!
