Key Findings
The Land
There is a piece of land in Love County, Oklahoma that most Americans have never heard of.
It sits in the southernmost corner of the state, just miles from the border of Texas, 2,000 acres of timber and pasture and creek bottom that the Comanche once called the Battle Springs Prairie. It is quiet there. Deliberately so.
That land changed hands on December 14, 2016.
Thirty-six days after Donald Trump won the presidency, a Texas entrepreneur named Toby Thomas signed his name to a warranty deed transferring $6,770,500 worth of Love County property into a limited liability company he had incorporated only thirteen days earlier. The company: BSR Holdings, LLC. Its registered address was a house in Lewisville, Texas. The registered agent was a generic commercial firm in Oklahoma City. The sole manager was Toby Thomas himself.
