Gee, disappearing records? Why not ask Hillary where they are? She’s the expert on disppearing records.

Mr. Estey still chairs board meetings of the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA), of which Gov. Rendell is the self-appointed chairman.

According to the IRS, many government "authorities" are little more than fraud machines that help connected insiders swill at the public trough. The IRS lists some of the key ways agencies "cook the books":

— misreporting executive pay

— exorbitant legal fees

— phantom "consultant" fees

— phony administration costs

— inflated building estimates

— misrepresenting authority upkeep costs.

Some recorded instances include self-serving financial transactions centering on loans, sales, exchange or leasing of government property to politicians, cronies and other insiders.

The U.S. Department of Justice has prosecuted government insiders for engaging in multiple conspiracies, including filing false official documents, accounting fraud, tax evasion (stolen money is taxable), bank fraud, colluding with entry-level employees by directing them to hide evidence and placing phantom employees on the payroll.

Authorities that defraud employing the US mails, electronics and computers could be grounds for additional charges.

L/E needs to determine whether Authority monies were illegally converted, and laundered, into untraceable casino chips. Casino comp programs should be examined closely. Gamblers enroll in comp programs to receive free rooms, meals and other costly emoluments. Casino comp programs also record every wager and every win, including winnings on which taxes may not have been paid. Casinos do not like to be used in illegal activities b/c it jeopardizes their gambling licenses. Casinos would gladly assist investigators in rooting out Authority financial fraud. L/E should be encouraged to use a good computer data mining program to match-up Authority principles, employees and political insiders swilling at the public payroll with casino lists and in other areas of potential fraud.

======================================

Government insiders may also have misled investors if the Authority raised funds raised via voter referendum, through the issuance of tax-free government bonds.

The FBI, DOJ, SEC and IRS consider misuse of tax-exempt bond revenue to be major crimes.

FOR YOUR REFERENCE According to the IRS, many "Government Authorities" are little more than government fraud machines that facilitate swilling at the government trough for connected insiders. The IRS reports some of the key ways "authorities" cook the books: (a) misreporting executive pay, (b) exorbitant legal fees, (c) phantom "consultant" fees, (d) phony administration costs, (e) inflated building estimates, (f) misrepresenting Authority upkeep costs.

Recorded instances of government fraud include self-serving financial transactions centering on (1) loans, (2) sales, (3) exchange, and/or, (4) leasing of government property to politicians, cronies, and other insiders. According to the US Dept of Justice, government insiders have been prosecuted for engaging in multiple conspiracies including: (A) filing false official documents: (B) accounting fraud, (C) tax evasion (stolen money is taxable), (D) bank fraud---filing false bank applications to take equity positions in companies doing business with the authority. (E) colluding with entry-level employees by directing employees to hide evidence needed by L/E, (F) placing phantom employees on the payroll. If any of these conspiracies employed the US mails, electronics, and computers to defraud, that would be grounds for additional charges.
