Every entity registers to the same Grosse Pointe Woods address. The same two felons hold every position — no independent governance, no independent financial oversight.
The Incubator
Beyond the Banks-controlled entities, the network connects to external institutions that provided the social infrastructure:
| Entity | Role in Network |
|---|---|
| Black Caucus Foundation of Michigan | “Reunion of Felons” — where Banks met the Stallworths. Board: 4 convicted felons. Mission: “decrease drug use among youth.” Managed by Keith Stallworth (federal money laundering conviction). |
| Foley & Mansfield PLLP | National law firm retained by Wells-Stallworth within 14 minutes to kill MDE investigation |
