Entity Profiles

Banks controls a web of entities, all registered to 1968 Severn Road, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI 48236 — his personal residence in an affluent suburb, while his schools serve Detroit’s poorest children.

Every entity registers to the same Grosse Pointe Woods address. The same two felons hold every position — no independent governance, no independent financial oversight.

Beyond the Banks-controlled entities, the network connects to external institutions that provided the social infrastructure:
