Lawsuit Filed in Los Angeles Federal Court Oct. 18 at 3:47 pm.
As reported late Friday night in DU LBN (here), yours truly sued Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Mitt Romney and his Gang (Paul Traub, Barry Gold, MNAT law firm, Colm Connolly and Michael Glazer) for Racketeering.
Specifically, the United States Code Title 18 Section 1961 through 1965 permits private citizens to sue people who are not being prosecuted; because they're organized criminal enterprise is so powerful - that no one will prosecute them. To address these issues of people being Above the Law, Section 1964(c) permits a citizen to become a "Private Attorney General".
Congress was well aware that powerful crime lords can have undue influence over the federal system of justice. To address such cases like Capone, where he appeared to be untouchable (just like Romney has been thus far), Congress even provided treble damages to motivate U.S. to become "Private Attorney Generals" and resolve "Prosecutorial Gaps". This Civil Right was affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in its Sedima case decision of 1995.
Our "Prosecutorial Gap" in this Racketeering case exists because of Romney's "retroactive" secrets. Mitt claims he was retired from Bain Capital as CEO in 1999; but we all know that he is lying about that. As Romney was caught on this issue, he flip flopped and claims he was CEO of Bain Capital until August 2001; and he then "retroactively" resigned back to February 11, 1999.
Mitt Romney's law firm Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell ("MNAT"
also has a law firm partner from 1999 to August 2001; Mr. Colm F Connolly. On August 2, 2001, Colm Connolly was promoted to a position of power & corruption that assured there would be a "Prosecutorial Gap". As is detailed at the Department of Justice Office of Legal Policy Resume that;
Colm Connolly became the DE United States Attorney on August 2, 2001
Where, for his next sever years as chief federal prosecutor, Colm Connolly's office refused to investigate and/or prosecute his form partner (MNAT) and/or their clients Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Mitt Romney and his Gang.
For more on this story you can read the DailyKos Diary with links to other stories (here). The orange realm thread has over 10,000 Facebook likes; because that blogger told the story well and succinctly.
As for my brief, it is a rant. When one writes anything, a book, play, film; you are instructed to write from the heart and then reduce it to proper form. It was my plan to file it on October 31, 2013 (my birthday); but something came up that forced my hand to file it sooner.
If the corruption doesn't reach into California too;
then I'll AMEND my Complaint to be more "legal" true to form.
We've got them by the proverbial's, with the evidence being confessions, public docket records and much more (because they "believed" Romney was going to be POTUS and handpick the "friendly" US Attorney General Sheldon Adelson was paying for). So they left an evidence trail any high school student could prosecute them with. Fortunately for U.S. and my case;
Romney Didn't Make It!

UPDATE
Most people misunderstand "Civil" RICO.
- - - The Racketeering Influences Corruption Organizations ACT of 1970 was provided to U.S. by Congress, to handle sophisticated efforts in organized crime that assaults upon interstate commerce unlawfully.
A proviso of the RICO act is United States Code Title 18 Section 1964(c) - that states;
This "Civil Right" granted by Congress, who wanted it to be utilized so much so - that it is a Law (incentive) one can recover treble damages.
[br]
- - - - This civil right has been affirmed as Constitutionally sound
The United States Supreme Court addressed the issues of who, what and why Congress granted Civil RICO and the right to become a "Private Attorney General" in the 1995 case of Sedima v Imrex - where the court ruled that;
In sum, we can find no support in the statute's history, its language, or considerations of policy for a requirement that a private treble-damages action under § 1964(c) can proceed only against a defendant who has already been criminally convicted. To the contrary, every indication is that no such requirement exists. Accordingly, the fact that Imrex and the individual defendants have not been convicted under RICO or the federal mail and wire fraud statutes does not bar Sedima's action.

- - - - The remarks that the U.S. Government choosing only to pursue Civil Remedies does NOT prevent a citizen from seeking same; is exactly on point here. The DE Bankruptcy Court had the right to only fine Paul Traub's firm $750,000; but it has NO right to fail to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney. As a matter of fact it is a command of Congress that judges are to NOTIFY & REFER criminal matters to federal authorities per 18 U.S.C. 3057(a).
When the Judge and US Trustee (commanded to do the same under 28 USC 586(a)(3)(F)) refused to go by the law - with the compounding issue that (even if they had) they would have been Notifying & Referring the matter to the CORRUPT U.S. Attorney Colm Connolly
Obvious creates a "Prosecutorial GAP" in need of being filled!

Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)RICO requires something more substantial than, "Person A is a putz, Person B is questionable and they both know each other." There has to be an actual crime.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)Civil RICO only requires that I provide proof to the "preponderance of evidence" standard.
It also ONLY requires that I provide proof of "indirect" benefit of parties. Romney bragged about getting millions each year from Bain Capital. So - IF - we provide proof that Bain benefited from fraud, then Romney benefited from fraud.
Also, I only need just 2 felony violations in 10 years;
they broke 19 laws in the last few months.
on top of all of this, Bankruptcy Fraud is part of RICO;
and we have Confessions to lying under oath 34 times in a bankruptcy case.
Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)You still need a criminal level of proof for the underlying crimes otherwise no crime was committed and thus RICO wouldn't apply. Civil RICO is to provide relief to parties harmed by racketeering, once racketeering has been proven. Your cart is ahead of your horse.
I would also wager the court may express some skepticism about what harm you in particular are supposed to have suffered. Civil suits aren't for abstractions or on behalf of unnamed parties. In other words you have to prove you have standing and you actually suffered verifiable harm as well as show the court can offer relief. Having Romney jailed or pay (to whom, exactly?) on your behalf because he never became President doesn't cut it.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)and the U.S. Supreme Court said in Sedima the following (for hard heads)
In sum, we can find no support in the statute's history, its language, or considerations of policy for a requirement that a private treble-damages action under § 1964(c) can proceed only against a defendant who has already been criminally convicted. To the contrary, every indication is that no such requirement exists. Accordingly, the fact that Imrex and the individual defendants have not been convicted under RICO or the federal mail and wire fraud statutes does not bar Sedima's action.

whereas the crimes here harmed me directly.

and I still have the original email sent to the DOJ on that issue.

As of this writing I am unaware of the disposition of this particular case, I only have my assumptions. Still, the pleading at the link is a glowing tribute to undefined complaints written in an untidy amalgam of pseudo-legalese and street vernacular. I beg you, please read it.
And then this ties in, somehow --

Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)Could I humbly impose upon you to provide some links? It would be appreciated.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)CLI didn't file its claims properly. CLI failed to hire a lawyer, which is required because a corporation has to be represented by a lawyer in bankruptcy court. Because CLI didn't follow the rules, CLI didn't get paid what you thought it should have been paid.
You, as owner and officer of CLI, blew it.
So you've cooked up conspiracy theory in which you play a lead role so that you can claim you were victimized by Bain, Romney, Goldman Sachs, and their law firms.
I've read the relevant court documents. Whatever shenanigans MNAT and Traub were engaged in--and they were forced by the court to disgorge fees--are irrelevant to your postion, because you and CLI screwed up.
Get over yourself.
From the docket of DE BK Bankruptcy Petition #: 01-00706-MFW
12/06/2012
(3 pgs) Order DENYING Motion of Steven Haas and it is FURTHER ORDERED that any future pleadings filed by Mr. Haas in this case shall be deemed STRICKEN and returned without docketing (related document(s)2478, 2481, 2484, 2485, 2486) Order Signed on 12/6/2012. (CAF) (Entered: 12/06/2012)
WHEREAS, to the extent that the Haas Motion is a claim on behalf of Mr. Haas as an individual, that claim is barred because it was filed almost a decade after the Bar Date and Mr. Haas has been actively involved in this case and never asserted any individual claim; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Haas’ numerous filings in this case are repetitive, without merit, and border on harassment; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the All Writs Act, the Court has the power to bar further pleadings by Mr. Haas in these
circumstances, see 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a); United States v. Gomez-Rosario, 418 F.3d 90, 101 (1st Cir. 2005) (holding that courts have the ability to enjoin a pro se party from filing frivolous and vexatious pleadings); Shafii v. British Airways, PLC, 83 F.3d 566, 571 (2d Cir. 1996) (noting that an injunction is appropriate where a litigant engages in filing of repetitive and frivolous lawsuits); Cok v. Fam. Ct., 985 F.2d 32, 34 (1st Cir. 1993) (“Federal courts plainly possess discretionary powers to regulate the conduct of abusive litigants.”); In re Oliver, 682 F.2d 443, 445 (3d Cir. 1982) (holding that an injunction restricting filings was necessary where the pleadings constituted a continuous pattern of groundless and vexatious litigation); therefore, it is hereby
ORDERED
that the Haas Motion is DENIED; and it is further
ORDERED
that any further pleadings filed by Mr. Haas in this case shall be deemed stricken; and it is further
ORDERED
that the Clerk’s Office is hereby directed to return, without docketing, any further pleadings which Mr. Haas may file in this case.
There is a festival of fun in that case, and in several others, including the one where it finally got through to him that in order to appear as a corporate party, he needed to hire a lawyer. His lawyer shortly thereafter petitioned to be excused because he was driving the lawyer bananas.
So, since he can't file anything in the DE bankruptcy court anymore, he picked up the show and filed this new hot mess in California which, if you read the minimally coherent bits of it, is largely premised on not getting what he wanted out of the court in Delaware.

For the sake of cronyism, tyranny and corruption to protect MNAT and its clients.
As a result – the Dept of Justice rogue elements have broken the Law so profusely and docket record substantiated overwhelmingly – that MNAT’s secret clients Goldman Sachs and BAIN are getting away with organized crime.
WARNING – there are rogue elements within the Dept of Justice – seeking to subvert the Constitution of the United States for veiled agendas sake – contrary to Congressional Law! During his tenure at the Delaware Department of Justice, US Attorney Colm Connolly’s office repeatedly declined to investigate and prosecute the MNAT law firm.
Keep in mind, Haas' only role in this was to provide transportation and security for the as yet unsold assets of eToys, i.e. product and later office furniture. In other words, he was to hire and administrate the elderly security guard napping at the warehouse every night as well as procure the occasional moving van.
Kossack, VetGrl, has an excellent summation -- http://www.dailykos.com/comments/1167910/48680260#c39
But this has been gnawing at him for over a decade. He has lied about his role in the eToys liquidation and is saying that the rule of law has been so deeply subverted with veiled agendas he's quoting the Declaration of Independence about the duty of throwing off the bonds of government.
And for what?
A website that sold Bob the Builder toys and ant farms. That's what all this is about. This is the deepest deep conspiracy that almost ruled the US that is worthy of a James A. Michener novel.
People need to stop cheering this. He doesn't need applause, he needs help and those who are egging him on my soon find they have cheered for a tremendous tragedy.

(12,647 posts)If I'm reading you correctly, Byrne has a philosophy of do unto others, just don't do it to me?
I was wondering if the info that Goldman Sachs lawyer accidentally released, and Taibbi exposed, is of any help to you in this suit? It seems to have helped Byrne quite a bit.

but it is highly unlikely he would be willing to discuss it with me.

(12,647 posts)I'm not familiar with your story, but I will be by the end of the day. When something touches my interests, I become a bulldog that doesn't let go. LOL
I became obsessed with Byrne's story and even did a video on Jim Cramer when he openly admitted to stiffing his clients via pumping and dumping. It's so amazing to me how brazen they are about the crimes they commit with impunity.
Again, best of luck and be careful. You're going after some pretty unsavory characters.

(575 posts)PoliticusUSA.. Then I noticed Tx4obama had just posted
to you, he too had also read the same article.. I'm so behind
all that you do and the reason for it.
I did read a few posts prior to mine in the OP.. someone was being
so ugly about your accomplishments.. Why are people so rude??
I feel their comments and cynicism was so uncalled for..
I wish the absolute best for you...

(7,805 posts)a 2nd, 3rd and etc. time and again.
Either they are from legal fields circling the wagons to protect attorneys at law (akin to the "Blue Wall of Silence" by policeman) - or they are out to make it a left v right thing (which it is NOT - I'm trying to stop crooks & corruption)
Or- they are snide; attacking me like I'm trying to be special.
If you call losing your career, having your family attacked, a friend having to shoot/kill and assailant and finding out our federal system of justice is incestuously and systemically corrupt;
specialness...........
then our whole world is upside down already...
I just want this over with already....
blue14u
(575 posts)good insights as to a reason for the snide remarks from fellow DUers...
I am truly sorry for all the loss you have had to endure. I am thinking you have many
who support you, and your endeavor even outside of DU.
Wanting it all to go away already is probably your biggest wish...
I can't blame you for that, and wish I had the strength you have to
continue to fight the good fight..
Hang in there. You have so much support!!!

The Law is our friend;
All I need do is find an authority that desires to see it applied.
Thanks again - for your kind words.

One seeks quantitative review of the issues;
which then compels a proper adjudication upon the merits.

(7,805 posts)The goal is to garnish "quantitative" attention;
and that means "qualitative" reflections.
Which will equal a proper adjudication upon the merits;
where "they" (the nefarious RICO horde) - Lose!

If the judge won't play ball - they can reassign it to one who will.
