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...
