FBI agents on Tuesday raided the offices of Special Counsel Scott J. Bloch, who oversees protection for federal whistle-blowers. The agents seized computers and shut down e-mail service as part of an obstruction of justice probe, as first

Everyone would avoid "the" Story, because the company that benefited from the post petition bankruptcy fraud was Bain. The law firms of MNAT and TBF, along with the party thay Planted within eToys (Barry Gold) all had undisclosed conflicts of interest and have filed more than 34 false affidavits to hide many issues, including the fact that they all have relationships to Bain and they were working for eToys parties when they sold the assets of eToys, for discounts in the tens of millions to Bain/ KB. This is Collusion.
The Delaware Dept of Justice has given the perpetrators illegitimate, implied, blanket, immunity.
the Delaware Dept of Justice will not even mention the name of the MNAT law firm, even though MNAT and TBF have both confessed to filing the false affidavits and intentional deception of the Court.
The Kronish Lieb, Hutchins Wheeler and TBF Law firm are all defunct.
MNAT would be that way also, if the case was properly investigated and prosecuted.
When we discovered that the US Attorney was a partner with the MNAT law firm we reported everywhere to the OIG, OSC, FBI, US Marhsll, Public Integrity Section, OPR, ORO, OGE and the Pres Bush Corp Fraud Task Force ,etc, etc
Along with the time clocked copy complaint to the US Attorney Tom O'Brien in California, the results were the following.
Tom O'Brien walked into a staff meeting, belittled his staffed and dimantled the Public Corruption Unit, stating it was office restructing to make the Dept of Justice more efficient.
Sort of like the OSC office make their computers more efficient when they wiped the files off the computer.
Tom O'Brien felt it necessary to threaten his career prosecutors with retribution if they discussed the real reasons for the dismanlting with the Press.
That was followed up by multiple calls to the Asst US Attorneys in CA, that resulted in multiple conversations with the FBI in Los Angeles and DC, who referred us to the Maryland office that has jurisdiction over that area, including Delaware.
After a very lengthing conversation, of also warning the special agent to CYA himself with memo's cc'd to many and not to do so in a blind fashion
The Dept of Justice Region 3 Trustee Kelly Stapleton REsigned.
Then the FBI raided the OSC office and home.
While we will not know if the files of this case were wiped off and from any existence, for a while,
The fact remains that there is NO CASE Number at the Office of Review and Oversight for eToys and their related issues.
(except maybe one for investigating yours truly, as the last agent asked for my name DOB etc...)
The big problem is, the person sent in to replace Kelly B Stapleton as Region 3 Trustee is the notorious Roberta DeAngelis.
The US Trustee press release mentions (belatedly) that Roberta DeAngelis was the General Counsel of the EOUST office.
What the new press release fails to mention is that Kelly B Stapleton was appointed by Director Lawrence Friedman in the Press Release on Dec 22, 2004, the very day of our Emergency Hearing in eToys to address the proofs of perjury and fraud.
Director Friedman had given us direct correspondence that the issues of perjury and fraud would be addressed. The Asst US Trustee Frank Perch Motioned to Disgorge the TBF law firm.
Then, less than ten (10) days later the Dept of Justice attorney, Mark Kenney, for the new Region 3 Trustee Stapleton, made the Disgorge Motion moot by giving TBF the immunity.
In both the Disgorge Motion and Stipulation to Settle there is no mention, whatsoever, of the MNAT law firm.
Then, TBF And MNAT committed another $100 million dollar fraud in another case, we pointed that out, Mark Kenney came to their rescue and Obstructed Justice by having the Court strike and expunge our proofs of perjury and fraud.
Immediately Director Friedman and Asst Trustee Perch RESIGNED.
Sometime after that resignation, speciously and quietly,(becaue you will not find any standard Press releasse on the promotion until now (after the fact)) Roberta DeAngelis was promoted to the position of Dept of Justice General Counsel of the EOUST office in Washington DC, in charge of what cases are reviewed and referred for prosecution.
Now she is moved back into the Region 3 office as the US Trustee press release fails to mention the fact that Roberta DeAngelis was the very Region 3 Trustee that was Replaced by Kelly B Stapleton.
The only reason she could have been sent back in was No one else wants this disaster and to continue to assist in Covering Up the whole affair.
The question is, as it happened just before the FBI raid of the OSC office.
Did DeAngelis also destroy the computer files of the US Trustee's efforts on this case?
You can see our online affidavit on this whole affair at http://fraud-corruption-mnat.townhall.com/default.aspx
It is very odd the career types and appointees are so willing to take actions that force them to resign, yet the story is choc a bloc full of resignations and curious grants of immunity...
Facts are facts, no more, no less.
Here are key items that are more ODD
eToys went public in 1999 for $8bn and bankrupt by March 2001. Where is the SEC investigation?
We reported all this to the SEC Bankruptcy Fraud Division in Atlanta and Gordon Robinson reported to me that he was sending an Official Intergovernmental Letter for an Official Investigation.
The Dept of Justice attorney, Mark Kenney, then Obstructed Justice and told him not to do so.
I recorded the conversations from Mr. Robinson and then his staff assistant Susan Sherrills-Beards call me, with several people on the conference call and went over one by one why there was no case as she denied that the letter was ever going to exist.
The SEC Bankr Fraud Div now no longer exists.
Eliot Spitzer’s office did the same thing. his right hand Tom McCarran told me that it was amazing, they wanted all the details, that even though it was a Federal BK case. the NY law firm issues etc would be dealt with.
Then McCarran resigns and Andrew Lorin calls me with several others on the phone call as he goes over one by one why there was no case and the NY AG’s office would not ever get involved.
All this after they remarked how tenacious we were and wished their associates were the same.
Finally,
We do not know where the $8bn went, for Strangely, the Court and Dept of Justice permitted a very ODD occurrence in the very beginning of the case.
The Court approved of Destruction of Books n Records in the very beginning.
The WSJ reporter was ordered off the story because they said we were political.
The Delaware Wilmington Journal reporter was foaming to get all the details he could, saying for YEARS he had been trying to find proof of the “good ole boys” club in the Delaware BK court, also know by Congress as a Bankruptcy Ring.
The political excuse does not apply anymore, as the person that was connected is no longer running, but it does shed light on why there may have been a belief that one better tread lightly or you may be rubbing the fur of the wrong man.
The party that benefited from the $300 million in fraud, after eToys filed for bankruptcy is Bain.
MNAT, TBF and Barry Gold all have extensive history with Bain related issues and did violate the Law, engaging in Collusion by the non-disclosure of their connectiosn to Bain/KB as eToys sold their assets to Bain/KB at reduced prices in the tens of millions.
The Truth is eToys was NOT bankrupt, the $290 million they reported as the debt was a bogus number, the BK filings were of several companies, merged into one BK, so the creditors owed had to file against each company, thereby making double and triple the amount that was really owed.
While Bain was owned and managed by Mitt Romney in 2001!
ODD Indeed!
I think your lead guy, though, was the then Chief Justice Rehnquist ~ but I never could figure out his intense interest in the operations of the Bankruptcy Court. Was he being paid? Was he playing a game? Did he have a honey over there? What?
And Romney? Isn't this situation too complex for him to have grasped what was going on ~ like he's not a genius ~ still, somebody snagged Spitzer at just the moment Romney needed during the campaign. Are some of the folks on his campaign staff involved in this?
The item of Spitzer being corrupted is still in question.
The issue that concerns me most, is how Cuomo and Spitzer became Spitzer and Cuomo, that is a power center designed against the check n balances desired to assure no corruption.
The same thing of Clinton the Second. Violating the very intent of only two terms.
The lead person is the facts.
eToys went public in 1999 for $8bn and Bankrupt a year plus later. With NO SEC Investigation. Congress had designed the Code that the SEC could be involved by a specific Chapter, even when the Chapter of the Code is circumvented by doing a “Liquidating Chptr 11” (a bogus scenario to begin with” the SEC, like the US Trustee’ still is “granted” Standing, by the Code to petition the Court to address an issue.
The current NY Supreme Ct case of ebc 1 v Goldman Sachs (eToys v Sachs)(NY case 601805/2002) specifically was permitted to go forward by the NY Supreme Ct to explain how eToys was $16 per share to the company, while going public for $78,
WHERE did the Difference GO???????
The case should NOT be in NY, Paul Traub put it there and that is another specious event.
Also, Paul Traub and his co-counsels (picked by Traub) helped in the Barry Gold D&O issues and therefore are of questionable Order.
At the same time, we have sent numerous briefs to the NY Supreme Court, pointing out the fact that Barry Gold and Paul Traub are illegally running the show, that Paul Traub gained his task by Perjury.
The NY Supreme Ct simply refuses to put the brief in the record.
As for the MNAT, TBF, Barry Gold, Bain, Liquidity Solutions ,etc etc, Romney item.
SanKaty is a Bermuda holding, (Off Shore from US) and Romney is the 100% owner thereof, it has $2 billion itself, separate from his Bain, Stage Stores, etc etc.
His statement that he was only worth $250 million was because that is all he has shown, it certainly needs further scrutiny.
Do you really believe his statements, that his money was in a “blind” family trust and he had no idea what it was worth or what was going on?
If you give his statement validity does the country want a man that cannot keep track of his own monies to be in charge of the Nation’s?
The thing that must occur, if justice is to prevail, Barry Gold must be replaced by me or someone like me, that will not bleed everyone out, for their own personal gain.
The very fact that high up, Washington DC Dept of Justice officials faced power they were AFRAID of, and resigned, is Cause for Concern as a NATION...
You either have key Dept of Justice personnel resigning over the eToys case alone
OR
You have a much bigger problem that eToys would unravel!
They utilized Taxpayer dollars, defending Organized Criminal activity, by Breaking the Law!
Stand up and fight for your American Way of Life
or
LET IT GO!
