Part II: The Fall Guys

The Plotters


Northampton is a small town, and there is very little you can get away with without people noticing, and talking about it. The commercial and legal and political world is pretty well focused in about four or five city blocks in the downtown area. You can’t have an affair in Northampton, or if you have it, it will become a choice tidbit passed around and elaborated on. People will see the two of you together, and even if there is nothing going on, they probably think it is.

One night developer Mike Sissman saw the three men who ended up being key players in the secret partnerships that did so much to ruin the bank having dinner one night at the Inn at Northampton. He realized right away that something was terribly wrong at Heritage Bank.

"Well here they were at their table plotting" Mike said. "There’s Donald Todrin, Irving Labovitz, and Mike Smith. A lawyer already renowned in our town for his shady dealings, the bank’s counsel, and its chief lending officer, all buddy-buddy. Something was happening."

Heritage Bank scandal.

Thank you for writing this! All shady characters but Don Todrin is one of the slimiest in town.

Hi, can you elaborate on your statement that "Don Todrin is one of the slimiest in town"?
Right now he is in my town and he is trespassing and destroying the property of people he does not know.
What is his motivation? Is he for hire? I'll pay him more than the bitch who has him now.
What IS this guy?

He is an absolute scumbag who has hurt many people and destroyed (and stolen from) many businesses. He's a con man with no regard for anyone but himself.

My company has cleaned up more shit that this scumbag caused on his clients that's its amazing the AG has not shut him down. Big fees are charged with usually zero results. Nature has its own way of weeding out the predators. Move to Florida Scumbag!

Now the Messian of business problems has a new scam in town, SBA BAILOUTS. One word of advice, they rarely work and even if you settle you'll pay dearly with penalties from the Department of Treasury. Do it right the first time and go to your lender directly and try to restructure your loan (s) with them by having your attorney work with the SBA. There are a few lawfirms in Springfield, MA with this experience. But stay away from this dirtbag as you will find his success rate to be less than 5% at anything. I'll put up the first
10K to move this disease to Florida.....

How do I have a confidential conversation with someone about Don Todrin's activities? He is proposing to represent us as well. I would like to exchange ideas with the writer of the SBA Loans comment, dated April 1st, and with others as well. Thank you.

I just had a talk with Mr Todrin re an SBA loan restructuring. I'm reading lots of negative comments about him that go way back. Does anyone have any recent experience with him and his firm?

I'm also interested in Mr. Todrin's current work on SBA restructuring. Please contact me at needworkouthelp@yahoo.com if you can talk about experience with him or his firm.
