Mavado Calls Messado An “Old Criminal” After She Filed For Bankruptcy In $30 Million Fraud Case
Dancehall artist Mavado has taken aim at disbarred real estate attorney Jennifer Messado once again, this time calling her an “old criminal” who continues to avoid a jail sentence because she’s not from the ghetto.
Mavado, whose real name is David Brooks, received the disappointing news that Messado filed for bankruptcy last week, putting another dent in his many attempts to reclaim all of the $30 million that she allegedly defrauded him more than 3 years ago.
The move has stalled the Supreme Court proceeding; hence the matter was postponed to July 22 for Messado to file an affidavit and for Mavado’s attorney, Tameka Harris, to respond. However, Harris has now expressed concerns to the Jamaica Gleaner, that the disgraced attorney is trying to use bankruptcy to discharge her obligation, especially in light of how she obtained the money.
Today, a fed-up Mavado called her out on social media, tagging the Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, the Jamaica Constabulary Force, and Jamaica Gleaner in his vent as he questioned the justice system and the alleged preferential treatment given to the upper class.
He wrote, “This is Jamaica’s legal scammers that the government can not do nothing about all because she’s (Messado) not from the ghetto … a things like This a mash up the country because it makes you wonder how much ppl may be not around because of her doings, and her powerful power that she have exercised a lot.”
Messado allegedly swindled the Top Shotta singer out of $30.7 million after falsely acting on behalf of a property owner, who she claimed was incarcerated overseas. However, it was later revealed that the owner had never been incarcerated and had not given her permission for his Grosvenor Terrace, Kingston 8 home, which was not even on the market, to be sold.
Mavado has only recovered $8 million of the $30.7 million, according to reports.
The deejay continued his Saturday rant online, “just think about it where and how did she even get to people land titles and that has never comes to the table in court for a judge to ask how the titles were pulled.”
“I want to know how the government does Nothing about it and why she’s not charged under the scammer laws yet she’s filling to said she’s broke and she should not go to jail because she’s over 70,” he continued.
The well-known real estate attorney has been slapped with several other fraud-related charges in separate cases in which investigators alleged that she used forged documents to sell a number of properties valued at millions of dollars.
However, she has so far managed to avoid any jail time, much to Mavado’s ire. “This old criminal that’s not even really from Jamaica her family’s came to Jamaica some years ago when they were broke just look her up and you will see who’s her friends in Jamaica high society.🇯🇲👁,” Mavado told his 990k Instagram followers.
Many fans were quick to take the artist’s side about the “injustice” of the island’s legal system.
“What a shame @andrewholnessjm you all better lock up this legal scammer what you guys take we for some charity worker this is the type of injustice going on in Jamaica just because she have friends in high places,” said one follower.
Someone else added, “Jamaica f–k up still enuh. I wish everyone there could just pack up n left 😮. Just pray for her DJ.”
Another assured Mavado that bankruptcy might have slowed the efforts to charge her but she will have to repay his money one way or the other. “Hear what bro, she has to pay you back that money, any assets that she has, she will have to sell to repay you ….she can’t lie about being bankrupt to avoid paying you… any assets that she has transferred from herself to anyone to protect herself you must investigate and bring before the relevant authorities. She is really something else.”
“She a the prime minister of scamming top chappa wah nuh use phone 🚶🏾♀️,” said another.
Following his son’s conviction and sentencing for murder earlier this year, Mavado had previously expressed his frustration over how long the Messado case was taking as it moved through the court system.
