Chapter 1: How did Jacqueline Purcell get involved in fraud?
It's so easy to steal. It was so ridiculous the way the system ran that I started to get that criminal thinking. The client who stole $45 million from Meta. How is somebody able to steal $45 million? There's holes. I was dating the same guy since I was 15. 23, his girlfriend of five years called me on the phone the night before our wedding, and yet I still married him.
Really? Yeah. How'd that conversation go?
I remember her calling. You remember three-way calling back then? So I was on the phone with my... They still have three-way calling. Oh, they do? I don't know. I have a cell phone. I don't know. But back then, the three-way calling on that regular rotary, I was on the phone and...
the phone i was on with my maid of honor and the phone clicked over so i said hold on so go on the phone she goes you know who this is and i said no i don't she goes it's melissa you know i could say his name tom because he's my ex-husband tommy's girlfriend and i said i'm sorry because i've been his girlfriend since i was 15 right and well he probably didn't tell you
I took my keys, got in my car, went over to the apartment where he was working, and my mother followed me. I'm telling you, I wouldn't have been in prison for mortgage fraud. I would have hammered him over the head with a pan if I could have at that point. But what does the idiot do? What do you think? I got married.
Yeah.
I married him.
What did he say? The next day. Did you mention it? You mentioned it, obviously.
He said to me, yeah.

Chapter 2: What happened during Jacqueline's wedding?
I was trying to help him. I never went to an attorney, but right. What's his name? Ben. Ben.
Here's what I'm going to do for you, Ben. I'm going to give you a hundred bucks of closing. You come work for me. Yeah. 75 because I'm still, I'm still a little salty about, about you getting fired because of this chick that ran you out of business.
But the thing is my brother was best title search company in Connecticut, title searcher in Connecticut. So I really didn't need him because my other searchers were idiots. So it's kind of like, I really need some good searchers. And so I never, no, I never made him feel that way. He wasn't speaking to me for so long. And so when he closed, I just said to him, I really need you.
I need you to come here and help me. So he did. And he did help me. And he did bring our level of clients to a different, now I was able to go after attorneys. because I wouldn't then. And business started booming because it was like 2006 at this time. And 2006 houses were, I mean, it was booming.
So- For about a year and a half.
Well, yeah. And then, you know, my girlfriend needed a job. So I'm like, oh, sure. We'll hire you. You can be my business manager. And then my niece needed a job and she became our notary closing person. And we were doing about 20 a day, 20 closings a day at that point. And then we brought in, uh, yeah.
So you're just doing closings. You're not, you're not, are you, do you open a title company? Do you become a, um, do you actually, yes. Okay.
In Connecticut, you have to have an attorney to issue titles different from New York. Right.
And so, yeah, you don't have to have an attorney here.

Chapter 3: How did Jacqueline transition to the title search business?
I go, well, we got to get rid of that. Like, that's got to go.
You actually put a satisfaction on it.
Well, it'd probably be like a release of leave. Because I don't want to make them all look at it. And I don't know if this is even, I don't know if it's called a release or a satisfaction. I don't know. I'm assuming they're synonymous.
Yeah, yeah.
And so I did that.
So they're both, yeah.
Yeah. And I remember I satisfied a loan one time in the name C. Montgomery Burns, the aging tycoon from The Simpsons, and notarized it. You know, so which every time, which I thought was funny. But when I went in front of the judge, like no sense of humor at all. This guy. No, you think? He's a stick in the mud. You'd think a judge would have a sense of humor.
You would think he would have been like.
Oh, my God. Yeah, you would think so.
