What exactly happened? Describe your experience in 80+ words
Todd Spenla and Tara Crawley robbed me blind.
Todd Spenla's partner in fraud is Tara Crawley. Criminal fraud charges need to be brought against her as well, and she also needs to go to prison.
Here is her linkedin profile in which she names herself as part of Spenla's microbank.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/tara-crawley-1480****
Essentially he uses her name to commit fraud, and to the extent that she allows it, she also commits fraud.
Preferred solution: Full refund
I just evicted Spenla from my home too!
Thank you for your post "Do Not Rent To Todd Spenla". I was also conned and defrauded by Spenla and just got finished fighting an expensive, 6-month long legal battle to evict him. The most astonishing moment during the fight to evict him was when I was contacted by someone who was fighting to evict Spenla at the same time.
Take a moment to absorb this. When you hear the word "squatter", you probably think of illegal residents of squalid tenements and abandoned buildings who have illegally taken up residence there because they have no place else to go; the idea of a squatter simultaneously taking advantage of several respectable owners/leaseholders/owner-occupants and adversely occupying multiple homes in high-end neighborhoods probably sounds like nonsense to you because the words "occupy" and "reside" connote continuity and permanence. These words do NOT connote a pompous, tasteless, poorly dressed, cigar-smoking, uneducated oaf with legal access to several residences in and around Manhattan, none of which he pays for, and all of which he leaves REEKING of boozy body odor and cigar smoke. Unfortunately, Christopher Todd Spenla is such a perverse, repugnant parasite, and recently he has repeatedly used squatters' rights to adversely occupy the homes of two legal owners simultaneously, without the permission of either owner. Both I and the other owner had to bear the cost of evicting him, and, to date, there have been no adverse consequences for spenla. If you've also been defrauded or abused by Spenla, please get in touch so we can begin talking about bringing him to justice for criminal fraud and other crimes, and so we can begin lobbying congress to pass laws making it a felony to do what he has done to countless kindhearted people.
Obviously Spenla will read this and put up posts to try to create confusion, but we all know he is an illiterate; therefore, just take a moment to compose a cogent, intelligent response that proves you have an education beyond middle school, and that'll be enough to prove that you aren't Turdd Spenla or his Creepy-Crawley side-kick.
Todd Spenla resurfaces
Warning folks: Todd has resurfaced, this time at 14 Wall Street in New York City. After a little investigating, he's apparently affiliated with John Thomas Financial but he's continuing to run his Microbanc scam.
Got a google alert listing Microbanc's address in the same location although the building and directory assistance has no record of Microbanc in that building. He doesn't appear to have ownership in John Thomas but he is receiving phone calls there. If you are considering doing business with this fraudster, do more research before writing him giving him a penny.
He's a complete fraud and will do nothing for your company except cash your check.
Todd Spenla- Do not rent an Apartment to this guy
While this is not a direct response from a consumer of Todd Spenla's business dealings- so called business"”it's believed that no real business actually takes place between TS and his clients. He is fraudulent corrupt and crooked. THIS IS a landlord beware notice, and tangentially retailed to all the other postings on the Internet. Todd Spenla has been evicted, yet again. On Aug. 13, 2011 a NYC Marshal placed an eviction and order to vacate letter on the door of his apartment. Just a small amount of research reveals that this is probably his third eviction. There are probably more. Landlords beware, because he never paid his rent the entire eight months he lived in the apartment on the lower east side. He and his partner lived for free. Causing much disruption, endless disturbances and even taunting of other neighbors, TODD SPENLA and his partner were the worst tenants EVER to live on Lower East Side. Pathologically lying from month to month in order to maintain a residence, finding ways not to pay the rent, he managed to stay in the apartment for eight long months. He is truly a *** person. All the other residents of the building suffered deeply while he (they) resided there as tenants.
The police came to the building about a dozen times within that eight-month period, as they were causing disruptions to the entire neighborhood- A result of the couple's constant fighting. NYC LANDLORDS BEWARE! Never rent an apartment to this guy.
THE neighborhood is such a better place without him.
Todd Spenla - Stay away!!
Todd Spenla - What can be said. A rotten ***, no joke. I had been employed at the same place as he. Let me say. He has done very dishonest things. Talked down, humiliated people. Lied about investments-profits job history, employment, success history and everything in general. Feel free to look up his work or other employment related biz history and all in between!!!
Go check his companies. he is the reason the usa is in turmoil, as a contributor of course. what honest has he done. NOTHING. there a numerous complaints of him everywhere he has been. why?? THE LAW Will RESOLVE This!!
You friend Chatfield - DEAN!
Todd Spenla Microbanc
Please steer clear Todd Spenla and Microbanc. He is a fraudster, and dishonest even in his personal details of his background and his relationships.
He has been even evicted from his home in new york and left his landlady in the lurch. His partner even took his email address away from him. He has gone underground for the time being but he will resurface and attempt to steal again. I read carefully the US court filings and he is now claiming all the press releases he issued were actually not posted by him.
That is absurd and all we can do is point out his untruthfullness and warn others to not do business with him. As his partners are all suing him that should be enough evidence. Just stay away. He has portrayed himself as a business partner and associate of my employer and it is wrong and criminal to do this thing.
He has no valid connections. The courts will decide.
We intend to issue a press release to major media shortly distancing ourself from this *** guy.

Todd Spenla - Microbanc - New York City - is a pathological liar
I need to alert other people because I am a victim of Todd Spenla's brokering. Todd Spenla, Microbanc, New York City is a pathological liar and thief.
Todd Spenla currently has four lawsuits against him from 'clients' that paid him a retainer fee to perform. His m.o. is to ask for a retainer fee upfront and promise to deliver executed deals. Beware of Todd Spenla.
Do not give your hard-earned money to this common thief. Todd Spenla masquerades as a very successful NY broker, all the wile his "office" is a former garage in his home. Todd Spenla is nothing but a common golf instructor. He even gives golf instructors a bad name.
All you have to do is Google Todd Spenla. Todd Spenla is discredited by many and respected by none. All you will see is lawsuits one after another against him and Microbanc, which is his company. The other 'clients' are trying to get their retainers back, but have not been able to.
The only money that Todd Spenla, this disgusting excuse of a human being, has made this past year is those unfulfilled retainers.
Save your money, yourself, and a potential headache. Don't do business with this shyster, Todd Spenla.

This rebuttal comes from the desk of Todd Spenla, Senior Managing Member and CEO of Microbanc, LLC. The above posting clearly comes from a disgruntled former employee. It is poorly written and contains a host of misrepresentations and inaccuracies. I will address each claim separately.
Firstly, Microbanc is a New York based global investment banking group. Our firm specializes in advising and raising capital for micro-cap and startup companies in a variety of sectors. My colleagues and I have a plethora of professional credentials in the investment banking and advisory industry. Our past successes have enabled Microbanc clients to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to help fund their respective ventures. Microbanc has a long list of success stories - over two dozen completed transactions. Even during the present financial crisis, we have managed to navigate our clients with successful outcomes.
Secondly, we are, indeed, a retained firm for consulting services which include: advisement, valuations, preparing institutional quality business plans and proformas, Private Placement Memoranda (PPM), subscription documents, and, of course, providing exposure to our Rolodex of accredited investors in the capital markets. We pride ourselves in being a very selective with whom we work, and provide a full range of services to our clients. Our goal is to be a "one stop shop" for micro-cap and startup companies - that is Microbanc's motto.
Thirdly, we participate in a number of charities. In fact, I am an assistant golf coach at NYU in my spare time, and receive a salary of $1 per year. I am very active within the NYU community, as well as my alma mater, Florida State University, where I received a full athletic scholarship.
Fourthly, Microbanc's corporate headquarters is based in New York City. We maintain a strong syndicate of partners that participate with us on a deal-by-deal basis. As such, Microbanc enjoys a tremendous deal-flow, allowing us to attract a "best of breed" client list with whom we work on a confidential basis. At Microbanc, we pride ourselves on providing personalized service and maintaining exceptional client relationships. This is our credo and why we created the firm in that the larger investment banks lack this one on one personalized service.
Finally, neither Microbanc nor I have ever been sued or involved in any lawsuits. If there are any inquiries about specific information regarding Microbanc and its activities, please contact us at the below referenced numbers.

Tara Crawley now goes by "Tara B" and works at Scores Gentlemens Club in Manhattan, exactly the kind of place where she belongs
I have known Tara Crawly for maybe four or five years and I can tell you first hand that she had no idea her credit was being breached. I think this entire post should come down seeing Mr.
Spenla is deceased.
I have already started the process with Google legal department to have this entire site removed for " Defamation Of Character" along with multiple other consumer rights privacy complaints.
P.S if you guys want to run a forum, know what rights you give up before publishing please and thank you.
It's rather funny to read that you've know Tara Crawley so well and can vouch for her character even though you cannot spell her name correctly. It's Crawley, not Crawly.Tara Crawley actively participated in Todd Spenla's fraud.
We can all be thankful that Spenla is dead. Crawley helped him defraud numerous people including people who had recently lost their spouses.She and Spenla operated as serial squatters and lived for free in my home for as long as they could before I evicted them.She and Spenla looted some of my most important possessions, including gifts from my grandparents.She is a horrible, horrible person.If you succeed in taking this post down, you can be sure that I will appeal and repost. I have all my records that I will share with google.
Among the items Tara left behind in my home after squatting here was her annotated copy of the book CODEPENDENT NO MORE.(Yep, she defrauded others and feels sorry for herself. What a piece of work you are, Tara!)She plays the victim, but she was a perpetrator.
Todd Spenla and his former wife wreaked havoc in my life as well. They rented our Pound Ridge home in the 1990s and we had to evict them for nonpayment.
They trashed the house.
I read that he is dead, but to this day Elaine Lahey Spenla evades paying the judgement she was named in. Pure ***
Todd Spenla was a deadbeat *** who got what was coming to him
She was happy enough to work with fraudster Todd Spenla to help him defraud kind-hearted, honest people. Tara Crawley (aka Tara B) is just as bad as Spenla. She certainly has not attempted to return any of the property she and Spenla stole from my home.
Todd Spenla passed away on the 12th of November. This can be verified on the public database of the Miami-Dade medical examiner.
We can all be thankful that Todd Spenla is indeed dead.Spenla's death may have been a suicide, and it may have happened after he simply ran out of options because he was such an *** or perhaps he tried to cheat a powerful person who decided Todd needed to be thrown off that balcony. If that's what happened, I'd like to thank that person.Tara Crawley was Todd Spenla's partner in crime.
Just as bad as Spenla. Together Todd Spenla and Tara Crawley defrauded scores of innocent people. Spenla was clearly the mastermind, but this does not absolve his sidekick Tara Crawley. She helped him defraud innocent people including elderly people who were recently bereaved after losing their spouses.Tara, you are a piece of work.
You did this.
You are not innocent. You are as bad a person as spenla was.
His ex wife Elaine Lahey Spenla acted equally as despicable!
