White Supremacist Craig Cobb, 61, stands outside his home in Leith on Aug. 24, 2013, after purchasing it and 12 other vacant properties in the small Grant County village of Leith. He had hoped to draw white nationalists from across the country to the town and eventually take over the incorporated town.

White supremacist Craig Cobb says he plans to file a housing discrimination suit, claiming a Bottineau bank officer recently thwarted his attempt to buy a home and small acreage at Landa, a town of 62, in Bottineau County.

Cobb, 65, — who was jailed and sentenced for subjecting Leith residents to armed neo-Nazi-style terrorizing in 2013 — says he is planning to start a family with his 38-year-old girlfriend. He has been living in Sherwood while serving a four-year probation that ends in 2018.

“Our plan was to either live on the 1.17 acre property in 100 percent white Landa, or maybe sell it for profit if we had eventually sunk too much into it,” he posted.

In his post, Cobb said he and his girlfriend, a certified paralegal, negotiated a price of $4,200 for the property and were at the bank to finalize the transaction, when the banker, with the seller’s cooperation, abruptly ended the deal and returned Cobb’s $400 that he’d paid to satisfy property taxes.

“It’s pretty bad when an elderly white man and a natural blonde white woman paralegal can’t even buy a humble shanty shack on 1.17 acres in the 'American Gulag’ at 34 degrees below zero,” he said.

Cobb attempted to take over the village of Leith and turn it into an all-white enclave in a disruptive and sometimes ugly situation for the Grant County village. He spray-painted swastikas and displayed racist flags and emblems on his property, disrupted city meetings and taunted residents, before embarking on an armed patrol that eventually led to his arrests. His neo-Nazi cohort Kynan Dutton received a lighter sentence and, after living in Underwood during his one-year probation, has since left North Dakota.
