The NH State v. Sands Case: A Fraudulent Land Grab

The NH State v. Sands case should have been a straightforward legal matter, but it instead became the foundation of one of the biggest land misrepresentation schemes in our states history.

At the core of the case was a major discrepancy in how the land was presented. During the court hearings, the property was made to appear as a single 100-acre lot. But when you pull the actual deed and read it carefully, its clear that the lot numbers actually reference the original 500-acre lots, not a single 100-acre parcel.

This deception completely changed the legal standing of the land. Those involved in the case successfully manipulated the courts and public records to hide the true size and ownership of the land, effectively allowing them to seize control and later profit off the misrepresentation.

The Altered Maps: How One County Helped Cover the Tracks

The original 500-acre lot map provides further proof of the fraud but only if you know where to look. If you compare the official maps from different counties, youll find that one countys map has been altered to conceal the true lot boundaries. The changes werents just clerical errors; they were deliberate modifications designed to support the false claim that the land was a single 100-acre lot instead of multiple large parcels.

This allowed the same group of individuals who orchestrated the fraud in the 1980s to continue their scheme for decades, selling off portions of the land under false pretenses, creating fake trusts to disguise ownership, and manipulating zoning laws to ensure their continued control.

How This Fraud Impacts Every Ossipee Resident

Most people assume land ownership is clear-cut you buy property, receive a deed, and pay your taxes. But in Ossipee, land that was never legally available for sale has been bought and sold repeatedly under false documentation.

The consequences of this affect everyone:

*If you own property in Ossipee, your tax assessments could be based on fraudulent valuations, costing you thousands of dollars in unfair taxes.

*If you rent in Ossipee, inflated land values trickle down to you, increasing housing costs while corrupt insiders profit.

*If you ever plan to buy land in Ossipee, you could unknowingly purchase a property with unclear ownership, putting you at risk of legal battles.

Even worse, after decades of manipulating land records for financial gain, those responsible are now donating land to the town or selling lots without warrant deeds, leaving future buyers and taxpayers to deal with the fallout.

The Same People Are Still in Power And Still Profiting

One of the most shocking facts about this entire scheme is that the same people who orchestrated the fraud in the 1980s are still involved in local politics, real estate, and government positions today. They continue to manipulate the system, ensuring that records remain unclear, questions remain unanswered, and their profits continue to grow.

Instead of serving the community, they have used their power to rewrite zoning laws, protect their fraudulent land holdings, and silence anyone who tries to uncover the truth.

Its Time to Take Our Town Back

For too long, Ossipee has been controlled by a corrupt network of landowners, politicians, and insiders who have enriched themselves at the expense of the people. This is not just a legal battle from 40 years ago this fraud is still happening today, and we are all paying the price.

If we dont act now, the town we call home will continue to be run by those who see it as nothing more than a personal financial opportunity.

We demand transparency.

We demand accountability.

We demand an end to the corruption that has stolen Ossipee from its rightful residents.

This town belongs to us, not to a handful of power-hungry elites. Together, we can expose the fraud, fight back, and reclaim the land that was stolen from under us. The question is are we ready to take Ossipee
