Was Crystal Cox Blogger Really the only one in the world that had an "Issue" with Kevin Padrick as a Bankruptcy Trustee ? Investigate Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group.

Kevin Padrick sure did not seem to act legally and ethically in the Summit Bankruptcy, In My "Opinion". Why does main stream media not investigate the real story of Kevin Padrick as the Trustee in the Summit 1031 / Summit Accomodators bankruptcy, and instead be a part of silencing the messenger, blogger Crystal Cox who is getting the story heard. Here is a Jan. 2010 article on the Umpqua Lawsuit as part of the Summit Bankruptcy. The Drawing of "Ire" was Kevin Padrick in yet another aspect to all this whereby there were and are many who have issue with Kevin Padrick, and most had to stand down as Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group and his Elite Law Firm Attorneys at Tonkon Torp Law Firm seem to be protected to be above the law, in my OPINION.

"Summit Accommodators case draws Umpqua's ire

Friday, January 22, 2010

Portland Business Journal

Umpqua Bank is striking back against claims that it bears financial liabilities linked to the bankruptcy of a real estate investment company.

In a 78-page report released late last year, bankruptcy trustee Kevin Padrick alleged that Bend-based Summit Accommodators used client money to fund a Ponzi scheme, and that Umpqua knew what was happening and did nothing to stop it.

Now Steve Philpott, general counsel for the bank, has responded. He said Padrick's report ignores facts, misinterprets evidence and portrays a conspiracy that did not exist. Philpott also accused Padrick of going beyond his duties as a trustee in leveling his accusations.

Padrick's claims, assertively argued in court documents, have been widely aired, frustrating Umpqua officials. It may be months before Umpqua is expected to dispute the claims in court, which ultimately spurred the bank to take its response public.

"As a financial institution with operations in three states, we're involved in litigation all the time," Philpott said. "But these are unprecedented claims."

At the heart of the battle: Whether Umpqua can be held liable for more than $30 million that Summit's 114 claimants lost when the company filed for bankruptcy in late 2008.

Among the points in dispute:

Padrick asserted that Summit's owners were trapped in a Ponzi scheme in which they had to constantly recruit new business in order to avoid collapse.

Summit's principals were not trapped in a Ponzi scheme, Philpott said, just a liquidity shortfall, and they were looking for a new source of funds before they filed bankruptcy. "(Please NOTE here reader, this comment posted in here by Crystal Cox - SUMMIT looked to Kevin Padrick for a source of new funds BEFORE they Filed Bankruptcy and he later became the Trustee after taking their spreadsheets, secrets, personal information and then turned on his own clients)

Summit presented its liquidity dilemma to the bank and sought a loan or other business partnership — which Umpqua turned down. According to Padrick's report, the bank should have seen a clear Ponzi scheme and impermissible self-dealing, and should have ceased associating with Summit. He quoted an e-mail from Umpqua Chief Credit Officer Brad Copeland to Umpqua CEO Ray Davis: "I suspect there are some significant fraud issues involved and our records will be subpoenaed. This will probably get very ugly."

Philpott said Umpqua did not see Summit's activity as illegal, just risky, and the bank opted not to help with Summit's liquidity needs.

Padrick has also challenged Umpqua's efforts to keep some e-mails and other records out of court proceedings, hinting that these records may bolster his case.

Relevant documents have been released, Philpott said. Those that remain confidential contain trade secrets and confidential commercial information that could provide insight to bank competitors, he said.

According to Padrick, by allowing Summit to maintain its accounts, Umpqua continued to profit from its business relationship with the Bend company.

"In the grand scheme of things, yes, we tried to profit by charging more on our loans than we paid on deposits," Philpott said. "But they weren't paying us for deposits, we paid them for deposits."

Lawyers not associated with the case caution observers to avoid jumping to any quick conclusions.

Bankruptcy trustees must pursue any claim or cause of action that could benefit creditors, said Thomas Gerber, a creditor's attorney at Bullivant Houser Bailey in Portland.

"It is his charge to go out and see if he finds anything that is relatively suspicious to him," Gerber said. "You can't put too much emphasis on the result of an interim investigation. ... In the end, the truth will come out in court."

Summit's troubles have their roots in the mid-1990s, when several company owners saw an opportunity to generate more profits from client cash, according to court documents. They founded Inland Capital Corp., which used cash from Summit clients to fund loans — often to Summit owners and affiliates.

Until then, Summit's core business helped investors postpone tax liabilities by investing proceeds from one land sale into the purchase of a new piece of real estate, also known as a 1031 exchange. The company charged $750 for the service.

It earned bank interest on clients' money during the 45-day to 180-day period between the sale of one property and the purchase of another.

The Inland Capital loans added a new source of profits, but also tied up client funds that had to be returned before loans came due. According to Padrick's report, that led Summit to constantly recruit new clients to backfill its funding needs.

The complex case has spawned at least six lawsuits, including two seeking more than $30 million from Umpqua, which entered the picture late in the game.

Attorneys expect only one suit against Umpqua to proceed, as both were filed with the aim of winning a judgment for Summit's creditors, and both make similar legal claims.

Another suit, in which Padrick sought $13 million from Summit's pre-bankruptcy owners, has reached partial settlement. Details of the settlement have not yet been filed in court, but people familiar with the litigation said that the owners did not have a full $13 million.

Padrick is also pursuing claims with insurance companies, which could yield up to $21 million if he is successful.

But according to his report, creditors have made claims of $41.5 million against Summit.

That leaves Umpqua Bank, with $9.2 billion in assets, as Padrick's deepest-pocketed target.

Insiders told me, Crystal Cox Investigative Blogger, that they had no idea why Kevin Padrick would sue Umpqua bank, as Umpqua was not the main lender that the Summit Principals used, and it made no sense. So it seems that, as Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group often seems to do, Kevin Padrick simply sues what he thinks is an easy target to suppress information and get quick money. If Kevin Padrick could get Umpqua to pay, or their insurance company, then Kevin Padrick would not have to work so hard to go after those who were really more involved, right? Kevin Padrick seemed to accuse Umpqus Bank of some crimes and indiscretions back then, was that defamation?

Even in my defamation trial, Kevin Padrick claimed that Summit was a "Ponzi Scheme", yet so many others said it was not. It seemed that Summit had a short fall and not a massive problem until Kevin Padrick got in the middle of it all and made a mess. While under contract with Summit to help them form a plan of reorganization, Kevin Padrick took meetings with the Creditors Committee, and sure seemed to be plotting and scheming against his own clients, while under contract with them and on their dime. Yet David Carr of the New York Times, Kashmir Hill of Forbes, Jeff Manning of the Oregonian and Dan Springer of Fox News would have you believe that I am simply making stuff up to ruin the reputation of an innocent man, when the truth is, I was simply telling the story that is already online and adding my "opinion".

More on Kevin Padrick and Umpqua

http://special.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/business/25427041-41/summit-umpqua-bank-lawsuit-padrick.csp barred from discussing the settlement? Are you kidding, this is a federal bankruptcy, where is the transparency? With this why is what Kevin Padrick made also some sort of sealed record? A federal judge appointed Kevin Padrick and he seems to answer to now one, why? Kevin Padrick "alleges" fraud, money laundering, and really this did not happen how he said, and many disagreed there was a ponzi, or even a crisis until Kevin Padrick under contract with the debtor made it a crisis and then created such an issue that the Summit Principals looked guilty of what they were not, it was Kevin Padrick smoke and mirrors and it seems that Kevin Padrick don't lose as it SEEMS that Kevin Padrick controls the Oregon Courts. Look deep, why can Kevin Padrick "allege" such allegations and its' not defamation and people lose millions on top of millions and go to prison and he has NO Accountability, even though its proven he perjured himself, he even did so at my trial which I will post soon with the posting of my Trial Transcripts.

With all the lawsuits, insurance, liquidation, commissions... WOW, sure seems like Kevin Padrick made Millions on top of Millions and for years. And how is this legal when it sure seems to me that Summit was not going to go bankrupt, they reached for help, for funding and Kevin Padrick made them promises to help, which is why they hired him, then Kevin Padrick turned on his own clients, there is contracts, there is proof and no one in a position of authority seems to have the nerve to stand up to Kevin Padrick, David Aman, Tonkon Torp, Perkins Coie and Sussman Shank. Oh Well this will be in court for years, I am filing a Federal Rico Lawsuit and complaints with every agency and when they ignore the documented facts, I will expose who ignores these facts and refuses to investigate, all seemingly to protect an Elite Portland Oregon Attorney Fraternity.

Rupert Murdoch and Media Corruption : Did Proskauer Rose Lawyers help Rupert Murdoch to use "Media" to bring you False News?

"Corporate Media, Maybe the Most Destructive Influences in Modern Society."

"Rupert Murdoch and Media Corruption

The endless cesspool which was Rupert Murdoch’s London tabloid News of the World is finished, however the underhanded corporate politics of the master nevertheless hold sway in the U.S. and Britain. Murdoch is definitely the great goule of mass media corruption and consolidation on both sides of the Atlantic.

But he is not a solitary villain. “Murdoch wasn’t the only media beneficiary when the FCC allowed him and others to consolidate their power and influence.” All corporate media are truth thieves.

In the event it can be stated that there is a master of planet wide corporate mass media, that individual is Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch’s News Corporation reigns supreme in television and print media within his native Australia, the United States and the U.k.

United states citizens tend to be most acquainted with News Corporation ownership with the Fox news cable channel, the New York Post, Dow Jones Inc., the Wall Street Journal, and Twentieth Century Fox movie studio and others.

The Murdoch organization isn’t just big, it is known for a specific political mindset. Inspite of the declaration of being “fair and balanced” Fox news along with other Murdoch outlets blatantly encourage and safeguard Right Wing bordering on Fascist interests, politics and Muslim hating propaganda."

Breaking the Blue Wall - a book by Justin Hopson.
One Man's War Against Police Corruption

"During his first few days as a rookie New Jersey State Trooper, Justin Hopson witnessed an unlawful arrest and false report made by his training officer. When he refused to testify in support of the illegal arrest,his life veered into a dangerous journey of hazing and harassment.

He uncovered evidence of a secret society within the State Police known as the “Lords of Discipline,” whose mission it was to keep fellow troopers in line. The Lords bullied and harassed colleagues for decades.
Trooper Hopson blew the whistle on the Lords of Discipline, which sparked the largest internal investigation in State Police history.

This book is a story of fear, courage, and integrity, showing how Justin Hopson persisted with his mission of exposing police corruption. Through many unexpected twists of fate, Hopson tells his story with a strong message that one committed individual can make a successful stand against social forces of fear and intimidation.

ABC News, The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Star-Ledger, and other media outlets have interviewed Mr. Hopson about Police Corruption."

Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group involved in Massive Cover up regarding his role as a U.S. appointed Bankruptcy Trustee. Tonkon Torp, David Aman, Leon Simson aids and abetgs.

Kevin Padrick keeps up the Facade with flat out lies to Media Outlets.

"iMediaEthics asked Padrick what his reaction was to the considerable media coverage of the case. He told us by phone that at first reporters had a "somewhat negative view" toward the case and ruling, but that "within a very short period of time, literally hours, as people started to actually look at the facts, the coverage completely changed and as you probably are aware when you look at the Forbes article or the New York Times article or any of the other articles, the reporters are frankly somewhat aghast at the facts that underlie the case."

Padrick added that "Initially, I was somewhat disappointed that the media didn't focus on the facts but that was very short lived, and upon further review by the media, I've been very impressed by the type of coverage, the diligence that they've done, the fact checking that they've done, and how the story has been reported...I guess it solidifies my faith in real media."

Padrick told iMediaEthics that the verdict was only monetary and there is no injunction to take down Cox's post in question. He added he is "satisfied with the verdict." Padrick also mentioned that he thinks "it is is important to report the fact that she asked us for money." Forbes and the New York Times reported that Cox sent Padrick's attorney a letter "offering PR Services and Search Engine Management Services starting at $2,500 a month." According to the New York Times, Cox "said that she sent that note in response to a request from Mr. Padrick's attorney," which Padrick's attorney denies."

Quote Source and Full Article

http://www.imediaethics.org/index.php?option=com_news&task=detail&id=2440&msg=3

Of course Kevin Padrick is thrilled at the LIES Forbes wrote.

Forbes posted a defamatory email accusing me of Criminal Activity and Forbes did not call me to see if the email was real or taken out of context or even what the email was regarding, yet Forbes is NOT liable for inciting a riot against me with NO Facts. See Forbes is protected to Lie, Defame and to post whatever they like to protect Multi-Millionaires like Kevin Padrick to keep preying on innocent victims and using the Bankruptcy Courts to take Million upon Millions with no transparency and accountability.

The New York Times flat out lied, and I talked to David Carr, still he posted about Kevin Padrick as if he was the most honest, ethical attorney on the planet. And David Carr spoke of the now infamous alleged Extortion "email" and claimed I asked for money. All are liable and NONE checked as to the circumstance and authenticity of the email.

First of All it is Legal to be a Search Engine Reputation manager, and I am a very good one. It is my most valuable professional / trade asset currently. Therefore, in RESPONSE to a cease and desist from David Aman, Plaintiff's attorney and AFTER they filed a 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit, in a negotiation between 2 attorneys, Me being pro se and David Aman, Tonkon Torp Attorney for Kevin Padrick (attorney) and Obsidian Finance Group, I emailed the Plaintiff's attorney an offer to make all this STOP, it was a Settlement Offer to end the lawsuit, in which they filed 5 days before and though I had not yet been served, I saw online that they filed it and I saw searches on my site for the lawsuit and I knew it existed and that it was filed Jan. 14th 2011.

All during the last year Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick - Plaintiff, through their attorney David Aman of Tonkon Torp, they sent me offers, Settlement Communications, offers to make the lawsuit stop or go away and that was not extortion, blackmail and yet my offer was. Talk about discrimination, defamation, double standards, and flat out lies.

Also regarding that email, there were several emails and it was a response email to a very general cease and desist, there are lots more details to that email and all who have gone into accusing me of criminal activity when I was not on trial for a crime, they are now liable for my defamation lawsuits against them. And Sydney Smith of iMedia posting Kevin's words that seem to accuse me of a crime, well now Sydney Smith of iMedia may also be liable for the damage this is doing to my Search Engine Reputation Manager career and will now also be named in my lawsuit against Forbes and the New York Times.

So if Kevin Padrick thinks it is important to discuss me asking for Money, well then it's also equally important to discuss them asking me for Money, and asking me to lie, perjure, and set up others.

They wanted $5000 for every time I posted their name, and this was after I was granted a Summary Judgement in ALL of my writings on Obsidian expect that One Post.

They also wanted me to Lie so they could set up two of the Summit Insiders. Was this extortion, blackmail?

No, apparently not, but in me sending an email to negotiate, to end the lawsuit, and in response to a cease and desist and on Jan. 19th, 5 days after they filed a 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit against me, well that is called extortion, blackmail and I am defamed and lied about over and over about it.

Padrick's Attorney, David Aman of Tonkon Torp DENIES that the Email Aman

Having not been served, and knowing the lawsuit existed, I found the cease and desist email from Dec. 22nd threatening the lawsuit and I "responded" to that with a "negotiation" to STOP the legal proceeding from going further for us all.

****

Evil Lying Thug and Thief Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Says to iMedia, according to the iMedia article, "I was somewhat disappointed that the media didn't focus on the facts" This is a bit much I think.

See that is my whole point, the "Media" did not cover the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy without the jaded version of Jeff Manning of the Oregonian who was protecting his buddy Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group.

The "Media" Kevin Padrick is talking about is STILL not focusing on the facts of the case.

The Media Kevin is talking about is not looking at the Department of Justice involved, the Conflicts of Interest, the Breech of Contract between Obsidian and Summit, the Bankruptcy Codes broken in the Summit Bankruptcy by the courts and those who aided and abetted from Sussman Shank, Tom Stilley, Susan Ford, Perkins Coie, Steven Hedberg, Tonkon Torp, David Aman, Leon Simson, the Department of Justice Trustee office, Creditor Annie Buell and More. They have not watched the videos of Kevin Padrick at a meeting with the Debtors who he was giving financial advice to BEFORE they filed for bankruptcy. They are not reading bankruptcy code. They have not read the Objection to the Fees by several insiders in the Summit Bankruptcy.
I WAS REPORTING THEIR STORY. I was not involved, I was REPORTING.. I did not invent these videos, documents, numbers... I reported and commented on it.. Wake Up !!!

*****

Another Quote from the iMedia article, Kashmir Hill Yammerings Quoted

"According to Hill, Cox set up "dozens of sites...to write about Obsidian." As such, Hill argued "This is not the work of a journalist, but the work of someone intent on destroying reputations." According to Hill, Padrick claims Cox's practice "has been going on for three years." Padrick is quoted as saying that Cox "decimated my business," and "ruined my reputation, my life." According to Hill, the jury gave Padrick and his company more than twice what he was asking for .

Kashmir Hill is dangerously ignorant and gullible. Those sites, blogs ( hundreds not dozens) of mine were and are set up to expose corruption and give rise in the search engines to citizen journalists and whistle blowers telling the stories.

Kashmir Hill has not had the brains or moral sense to read the documents that show there is more to Kevin Padrick then his snake tongue on the phone.

Kashmir Hill does not seem to know that, the Truth is not in a phone call to the Bad Guy to ask him if he did it, nor is the Truth to the Investigative Blogger saying he is a bad guy, the Truth.

The TRUTH is in the depositions, the documents, the meeting videos, the contracts, the judicial proceedings, the court audios and transcripts. All of which Kashmir Hill of Forbes has Yet to bother looking at and instead feels it best to tar, feather, and burn at the stake the messenger.. never looking at what the message is..

I did not set out to "ruin" poor ol' Kevin Padrick's reputation, as Kashmir Hill Seems to think, Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, David Brown, Obsidian Renewables had done that along time before I came onto the scene.

Thing is I am very good at deep investigations and at search engine placement. So I found all business dealings, business names, and I got all his dirty deeds to the top of the search engine for his name and if SHINING a light on what he was doing ruined him, well all I did was TURN ON THE LIGHT. I did not create the Bad Behavior that was going on in the dark before I took interest.

Here is a new blog with some links to some home work on your hero Kevin Padrick, Kashmir Hill and others, if you, indeed care about the truth, the message, instead of persecuting the messenger who simply wants to expose corruption and help victims have a voice where they previously did not.
http://www.kevinpadrick.com/

iMedia, just as what seems like thousands of blogs now, say I refused to give my Source and relied on the Shield Law to to Protect me and that DID NOT happen. I brought over 500 pages of information that proved my source and was denied the use of this. I had no secret source. My source was provided to the courts and it was IGNORED.

Noteworthy Question: Thousands of Blogs, Posts, Articles have linked to a Blog Post that they believe is false and defamatory, are they now ALL liable to pay 2.5 Million EACH to Obsidian Finance Group and the Squeaky Clean Kevin Padrick?

Link to Settlement Offer of Nov. 2nd, Just Weeks Before the Trial and one of Many offers they sent, emailed to me, to "Negotiate" or to offer me a deal for them to "Cease Fire".

2003 11 17 - Final Judgment against Iviewit in the Proskauer v. Iviewit case. Judgment was issued by Judge Jorge Labarga, after he cancelled the first trial with no notice to Iviewit or either of their law firms, Selz & Muvdi and Schiffrin & Barroway. At the rescheduling hearing both Schiffrin & Barroway and Selz Muvdi withdrew as counsel stating the other would be handling the case. Labarga let both go instead, despite the fact that Schiffrin & Barroway had signed a binding LOU/Legal Retainer agreement to represent Iviewit at the case. This forced Iviewit to have no counsel and days later Labarga ruled a default on Iviewit for failure to retain replacement counsel. Iviewit could not find counsel that fast in a almost three year case and Schiffrin and Selz refused to turn over necessary files needed to find new counsel or file an appeal.

Below Fromwww.Iviewit.TV

Former New York State Bar President and member of Disciplinary Committees and Ethics boards nationwide. Ordered for investigation of conflict of interest and appearance of impropriety by the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division: First Department.

The investigation has so far been thwarted, through further conflicts in New York, typical New York crooked politics but being from the Windy City, so named for corrupt politics, this will be New York's Greylord.

It was learned that conflict in New York led all the way to Chief Judge Judith Kaye, you guessed it, married to a Proskauer partner, a partner like Krane, Stephen Kaye, G0d now prancing upon his recently departed soul although he was soulless while living towards the end, a partner who was instantly added to newly formed Proskauer intellectual property department (formed instantly after learning of my inventions), although he had no history in IP law, hmmm.

Judge Judy Kaye is also conflicted up the butt with Krane, as he was her former whipping boy, serving as her lapdog clerk.

Krane attempts to use influence peddling like never before seen in Gotham to earn his Proskauer intellectual property partnership wings by blocking Iviewit never revealing his conflicts, until two years into the complaints when news of his conflicts surfaced.

Steven Krane and Judith Kaye (Judge Judy is now the proud conflicted owner of her dead husband Stephen Kaye's Proskauer shares of Iviewit) then had to bury the New York Supreme Court ordered investigation against them and the Proskauer partners, and in a feat unsurpassed in the annals or anals of New York, he ass kisses or offers it for the taking widely, to evade the investigation without even having to give a statement in his defense.

After five Supreme Court Justices unanimously voted for an INVESTIGATION, Stephen Krane, Kenneth Rubenstein and Raymond Anthony Joao, did not even have to provide a response to that court, nor provide one to the department charged with the investigations.

Instead those disciplinary departments wrote little old me how they were going to dismiss it without investigation based on that he was a nice guy basically. It was as if the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department, was actually doing his defense, as they tendered all letters on his behalf, he did not answer a single question or put forth a statement in his defense. You guessed it, the First Department and the Second Department are controlled by Proskauer attorneys, those charged with investigating the conflicts, upon a little scratch of the surface were also found in conflict with the matters, Krane and Kaye, and yet they continued handling the complaints against Proskauer and its partners. So assured that top down control of the courts could never be penetrated with Judith Kaye and Stephen Krane controlling them that they acted as if they were above the law.

Perhaps they are above the law, in crime festered New York but they are not above the law of G0d.

Of course I did not order the investigation, a bunch of judges did.

So it begs one to ask why they confronted me to try and evade the investigations and not the court that ordered it. The answer, they could not answer the court with the results of the investigation, as no investigation was ever done and they tried to claim dismissing the case on review was equal to an investigation.

No witnesses were called, no evidence submitted tested, these guys did not even have to tender a response.

How much payola do you think that it costs to buy off three court ordered investigations? With the help of Judge Judy Kaye and some very large illegal gains from the stolen technologies to make people obfuscate their public office duties, they have succeeded but for the moment at evading charges.

Steven Krane stands as the most despicable man in the history of legal ethics, currently found trying to amend laws to protect him and others from prosecution. Perhaps Ken Lay hired him to write some laws to prevent loss of his estate from death or the Bush group has him rewriting war codes to justify torture and protect from prosecution.

Either way, there may soon be a lot of Proskauer and other corrupted lawyers cited herein, wishing for an artery to pop to the brain, with Krane's obese gluttony, he will be first. (I was wrong here, Judy's husband Stephen Krane, G0d unrest his soul, was the first to leave this earthly world for hell for his actions.)

Krane Complaint First Department Exposing Conflicts and Violations of Public Office. Krane then goes on to really fuck himself when he writes his own defense of his bar complaint, failing to disclose his conflicting positions at the disciplinary department and further concealing them in an effort to deny he was caught, this little lie cost him orders for investigation.

Krane Suicide Letter

Steven Krane was busted immediately following that letter, after Clerk of the Court, Catherine O’Hagan Wolf identified that Steven Krane was in fact a member of the disciplinary committee that his letter denied, in fact she sat on several committee’s with Steven Krane and was stunned that he would be handling a complaint against himself or his partners, she suggested Iviewit file the Motion with the Court that led to the unanimous ruling for investigation.

OK breaking news in November 2007 comes in the form of Krane's buddy at the First Department, Thomas Cahill, former Chief Counsel of the Supreme Court of New York First Department, DDC. Thomas Cahill is busted for burying and whitewashing complaints against attorneys that he is charged with investigating.

Oh, shit gets really bad as the informant is an insider, a 62 yr old black female attorney, who is victimized, physically assaulted and terminated for her bravery to stand up to wrongdoings at the Department. In a $100M Federal Lawsuit, she names Iviewit in P. 97 of the complaint, as a cause of termination.

Oh shit, Thomas Cahill and Steven Krane and their scam exposed from the inside, Holy Cow Batman, Gotham Uppy Ups are going down, The New York Law Journal writes a story exposing Cahill and others for derailing complaints against attorneys, exactly what Iviewit is claiming to the Feds.

Holy Big Shit Batman, The New York Times follows with an even more devastating article and now New York is on fire, Kerik, the whole criminal political crime family composed of scumbag lawyers, judges and politicians is flaming downward, hell awaits, my smiling face to greet them.

All this shit started by an investigative reporter at Expose Corrupt Courts, a one ballsy Frank Brady, in a time of journalistic lack of integrity and complacency with the corruptions read by propaganda readers like Blitzer (whose his daddy), Sanchez (where did this guy get his journalistic wings) and other script readers, Brady emerges as something of a Ben Bradlee, a Woodward, a Bernstein.

My kudos also go to Dan Wise of the New York Law Journal and Paul Vitello of the New York Times for having the balls to expose corruption New York's Heart of Darkness."
