My colleagues Dan Browning and Liz Fedor first reported on Tim Beliveau's real estate investment scheme back in 2007. Last year, I followed up with a profile of Telsche Paulson, who was forced out of her south Minneapolis home of 50 years after a judge said Beliveau and his ex-wife, Shelley Milless, "tricked" her out of the property. At the time, federal investigators told me that they had forwarded their investigation to the U.S. attorney's office. It took another 10 months, but the indictment came last week, Browning reported.
Last year, Tim Beliveau told me he was "absolutely not" a criminal. Now he has the chance to prove it.
