Patton had purchased a lot with a burned out hulk of a home from Michael Max in 2010, paying $21,000 according to county tax records. Patton transferred the same lot in August of 2011, one month before Homeless Dan stopped paying his mortgage. According to the county tax records the lot was transferred without payment, a $0 transaction, making one wonder if someone paid Mr. Patton to hand over the $26,000 lot.
