We Need Legal Reform Really Bad!
Armstrong Economics ^ | 28 Jan 26 | Martin Arm

Posted on 01/28/2025 6:27:36 AM PST by delta7

Justice Elena Kagan denied the petition to prevent California from investigating and probably jailing doctors who went against Newsom’s COVID-19 protocol.

If I remember correctly, isn’t she the former Solicitor General who told them to release you because she could not explain how you were being held without any charge of civil contempt for 7 years?

ANSWER: Yes, your memory is correct. The judge was as corrupt as Trump discovered in New York City. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals is corrupt and they only protect the judges and government and even refuse to order judges to stop committing felonies by changing the transcripts.

To be thrown in jail on civil contempt, you should have an order that specifies what it is you are supposed to do. I NEVER had such an order, and when I asked for one, the Judge simply said to his Receiver, “I thought you did that.” I should have legally been released then and there. He kept me in prison without any order.

The reason there was no published order was that they wanted the computer code. They said they would close the company and fire 240 employees unless I turned over the code and even put it in writing to a lawyer offering to rent the company to keep the forecasts going.

Then, when my clients joined me and went after the bankers, they put a gag order on me to stop me from helping my clients against the bank. Then the bank pleaded guilty and returned all the money to my clients, and to justify still keeping me in jail, they claimed there was yet another fraud, without any charges or complaint no less any description.

The judge still refused to release me without even a complaint filed. This violated Due Process of Law and the Second Circuit ignored everything.

The Second Circuit just kept me in prison for a civil contempt statute with a maximum sentence of 18 months as a Political Prisoner to protect the bankers and the government. The court transcript even states there is no description of any alleged fraud, but they still just kept me in jail indefinitely because they wanted to stop our forecasts.

When I finally got to the Supreme Court, they ordered the government to respond, meaning they were taking my case. That is when Solicitor General (now Justice) Kagan first asked for a postponement, which I declined.

Solicitor General Kagan had no choice because the case was outrageous, and she told the NY boys to release me. They released me from contempt and then told the Supreme Court the case was “moot” to get out of the whole mess.

I had no restitution and no penalties. They knew I would be right back in the Supreme Court if they tried that. Today, this does present a problem. If I return to the Supreme Court, Justice Kagan and Justice Sotomayor would have to recuse themselves because BOTH were involved in my case. That would probably set a legal record to have two justices compelled to recuse from the same case. When released, you are supposed to have 3 years of supervised release.

The judge in Trump’s case dismissed that, and in my case, I reported only once, and that was it. They were afraid I would go right back to the Supreme Court. As soon as I got out, Congress invited me to Washington, where I was introduced as the guy with this model they were trying to suppress.…..

Armstrong was railroaded like President Trump in the New York court system, why? …they wanted his Socrates computer forecasting codes.

His case made it to the Supreme Court and he was released.

Armstrong usually posts his own fake questions and answers them. In this case, he does not even have that "QUESTION:" part.

Wrong. It's a lie.

Armstrong lost 700 million stolen from investors. He lost them making bad trades based on his "Socrates" computer. Armstrong thought it could forecast prices but it failed. Why would anyone want that bad program that he used to lose millions?

More informative as to the contempt issue, but not explaining how allegedly $700 million got lost in a Ponzi scheme:

No tears for Armstrong, por favor.

“Armstrong started Armstrong Economics in 2007 while he was still in prison. Inspired by letters he was receiving, Armstrong began producing research reports. He relied mainly on the Financial Times for information.”

You mean that TxGator and Moneyback? They won’t comment on this article as it blows their “Armstrong bad” theory.

Don’t worry, they will be back….like a dog returning to it’s vomit.

“Armstrong was railroaded like President Trump in the New York court system, why? …they wanted his Socrates computer forecasting codes.”

LOLA! He pleaded guilty and the bank involved had to pay $600,000,000 in restitutions.

“His case made it to the Supreme Court and he was released.”

Flat out lie. His case never made it to the Supreme Court. He was released from his contempt holding when he was convicted on securities fraud charges to beginserving that sentence. He served the full term of that sentence.

LOL! That code led to him filing bankruptcy three times and landed him in jail for eleven years after he lost $700,000,000 of his clients’ funds in losing trades.

You, Armstrong, pleaded guilty because you left a paper trail a mile long proving your guilt.

Co-mingled accounts, fake documents, securities violations.

The bank didn’t “return” the money, they made restitution.

You lost the money through losing trades.

ROTFLMAO! Moneyback posted #3.

Your post is nothing more than lies posted many times before. Each lie has been refuted times over in the past and again today.

I am still looking for a certain video. I am curious because Armstrong usually wears a tie but in this case he is not.

Even Armstrong’s lawyer admits Armstrong is a loser!

“Armstrong’s lawyer attributed the financial losses to incompetence, inattentiveness and “foolish attempts” to repair whatever damage had been done to the business”

“Then, when my clients joined me”

What? You were ordered to pay the clients $80,000,000 in restitution.

Guess who sided with Armstrong!

“Sonia Sotomayor, a judge on the Second Circuit panel that heard Mr. Armstrong’s appeal last year, seemed to echo this point. “The district court’s finding that Armstrong is motivated solely by greed is not enough to justify disregard for due process,” she wrote. “Courts must exercise caution in their use of the contempt power and must recognize when it has reached the limits of its utility.”

You should have seen the epic gaslighting and trolling by the Gator over his boy Abel Reyna and the Waco motorcycle hostages.

After the Gator permanently lost all his credibility on FR over the FR Twin Peaks Waco wars, he refused to slink away like any normal human would.

I think what it is, is that he’s some old guy who doesn’t have anything better to do than troll Free Republic.

His pattern is to get all wound up over some trifling issue, then go out in a blaze of foaming stupidity. He gets a week or two off FR, then begs his way back on.

I think this MoneyBags character is an alter ego, because TG can’t stand to be away from FR for more than a day or so.

Hey, whatever happened to the last Armstrong thread that got you a week off?   

I should ping Elderberry, just for old times sake.
