Patent Theft is Big Business - Patent Theft as a Business Strategy

Patent Infringement is Planned and Executive Perfectly. The iViewit Technology was Stolen over a Decade ago and the SEC, DOJ, FBI, and the Supreme Court Ignores the Rights of the inventors Regardless of Signed agreements.

The Courts have Protected the Major Tech Companies such as Intel Corp., Warner Bros., AOL, Sony, and More.. and Has protected the Patent Attorneys who helped to steal the patent for the Tech Companies to Use.. as Foley and Lardner and Proskauer Rose.

More on the iViewit Technology Theft - DeniedPatent.com - this case involves corruption in the USPTO as well, where the Patent is Still "pending" after a decade...

Conspiracy to Infringe is Big Business, Check out this Article..

"Patent Theft as a Business Strategy

America's largest big tech corporations are now using a business technique called "efficient infringement," which means that they calculate the benefits of stealing someone else's patented technology against the possibility of getting caught, tried in court and being forced to pay damages and penalties. If the benefits exceed the costs, they steal.

What makes patent theft so attractive is that infringement is not a criminal act and those found guilty face no jail time. Paying up is the worst that can happen to the infringer.

The most aggressive users of this business model are fifteen of America's largest big tech corporations.

Led by Cisco, Intel, IBM, Microsoft and HP, these giants have spent millions of lobbying dollars over the past five years trying to buy legislation in Washington that would weaken the existing U.S. laws on Patent Infringement.

Their interest is obvious since in the 13 years between 1996 and 2008, patent owners have sued these fifteen corporations 740 times for infringement and have won $4 billion in damages.

Not surprisingly, these big tech corporations' political goal is to change the law so patent theft is more difficult to prove, less costly when caught, and willful infringement virtually impossible to prove.

The principal victims of these big corporations' "Efficient Infringement" approach are America's independent inventors, small businesses and universities - the source of most breakthrough innovations and the creators of two-thirds of all new jobs in America.

This "steal-what-you-want" approach to business
is spreading throughout our economy.


Now, corporate behemoths in the financial services industry are using the technique and ganging up on small patent holders.

Nowhere is this more evident than the case of DataTreasury Corporation, a tiny Texas company locked in battle with some of the biggest banks in the world.

As I have written before, DataTreasury's founder invented a revolutionary check-processing system in the mid-1990s and tried to market it to high-level executives at Chase Manhattan Bank (now known as JPMorgan Chase).

Instead of partnering with DataTreasury, those bankers are accused of walking off with the idea and using it to start a pair of highly successful check-processing companies of their own -- companies which are now owned by the biggest banks in the nation.

According to industry sources, the banking industry is now making $2-4 billion annually because of DataTreasury's patented Check-Processing Technology.

DataTreasury has been forced to go to court to protect its property rights, and over the years has reached settlements with JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, HSBC, and scores of other large banks.

But Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and about a dozen other banks refuse to deal with the little company. Instead of paying up, those remaining banks have played dirty.

In 2007, Washington Lobbyists working for the Banking Industry had an amendment inserted into a pending patent-reform bill that would have granted legal immunity to all of DataTreasury's defendants. The amendment died on the floor of the U.S. Senate after the press exposed the story.

As you read this, DataTreasury is in the middle of a trial with Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank, the country's fifth-largest financial institution.

Last week, the federal judge overseeing the case dropped a bombshell. He ruled that DataTreasury had succeeded in arguing that U.S. Bank may have conspired with the nation's other top banks to infringe the small company's patents.

That's a very serious charge.

It helps open the door to more than $600 million in damages against U.S. Bank, and it raises questions about whether Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and the other banks going to trial with DataTreasury later this year, may have also taken part in the same conspiracy.

Whether U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and a dozen other banks are guilty of infringing DataTreasury's patent is a matter for a jury to decide.

However, if the jury does conclude that they were part of a conspiracy to steal the little company's idea, I hope that the judge and jury will impose a judgment that is big enough to scare corporate CEOs everywhere.

If money is the only penalty for infringement, then a staggeringly large award is the only way to send a message to Corporate America that they should avoid any Conspiracy to Infringe someone's patents as though it were the Bubonic Plague. "

"Real Estate Market in the West: Where It’s Going, and How
The economic meltdown has caused a world of hurt for many people involved in real estate in the West, but it's also creating opportunities and attitude shifts. What does that mean for the future?

By Amy Linn, 10-14-09

Less can be more. The end is not nigh. The real estate market—including second-home and resort markets—will recover … eventually.

Predictions and advice about opportunity, realism, smart growth, environmentalism—and a slow-paced recovery—were the hallmarks of NewWest.net’s fourth annual Real Estate Development in the Northern Rockies conference in Missoula. The two-day event, which ended yesterday at the Hilton Garden Inn, included more than 30 speakers who discussed wide-ranging topics about development, planning, land use and the future of the West.

The boom-and-bling era of speculation and eye-popping returns on real estate have obviously vanished, said the planners, architects, developers, policy makers, real estate agents, green builders and others who took the stage. But the current economic downturn could fuel a shift that benefits people and the planet, speakers said. When smart growth replaces sprawl, when developers are good neighbors, when downtowns are revitalized and landscapes are preserved, the region will be protected from ugly booms and busts.

“It’s really about going back to simplicity,” said Rebecca Zimmermann, an owner of the Denver-based Design Workshop. At the worst moments of the economic crisis, clients told her “every dream I ever had is on hold,” Zimmermann said. “Now, with the stock market back up, there is desire again to have a dream home,” she said—but the dream has changed.

“People want to live in places that connect people to nature and connect people to their families,” she said. “The days of the inter-west buyers who were refinancing their primary home and taking that money out to buy a condo at Copper Mountain—that almost doesn’t exist any more.”

Most speakers said it will be three-to-five years or more before there’s recovery and stability in the real estate market.

But property is still selling, even in the very high-end market. Samuel Byrne,
the new owner of the Yellowstone Club, said in an on-stage interview that the exclusive ski-and-golf resort has seen $50 million in sales since he closed on the property in July. Some of the sales were distressed properties and buyers cut deals directly with the banks.

“People swooped in very quickly on those and snapped them up,” said Byrne, the managing partner of CrossHarbor Capital Partners, a Boston-based investment firm. With Byrne’s leadership in place—and the Tim and Edra Blixseth saga over—the demand returned. “It’s truly a unique asset—one of the most unique properties in the world,” Byrne said.

But how is the rest of the West faring? What’s changed? Here are some answers and conference highlights:

-- “The second home market is not gone—people will make extraordinary buys coming out of this cycle,” said Byrne. “At certain price points there will be tremendous opportunities and recovery in the marketplace.”

-- Consumers have shifted away from seeing real estate as an investment. Many of today’s home-buyers want property that’s greener, smaller and more long-term. “It’s more about what people want for their family,” said Christopher Kelsey, of Steeplechase Development Advisors.

-- Eco-friendliness is a deal-clincher for increasing numbers of buyers. From the builder’s perspective, sustainable buildings can also qualify for money-saving tax credit programs and subsidies.

-- People come to Montana to enjoy small towns and wild landscapes, so protecting those assets with smart growth plans is critical, said Luther Propst, founder of the Sonoran Institute.

-- Well-heeled home buyers are looking for quality-of-life landscapes: places where they can see wildlife, go fishing and skiing, and play outdoors, said Roger Lang Jr., who transformed his 26,000-acre Sun Ranch in southwest Montana into an eco-lodge—and a home to everything from boreal toads and bald eagles to grizzly bears. “Wealthy, high-end home-buyers subsidize wildlife conservation,” said Lang.

-- Healthy downtowns and residential areas are walk-able, compact, sustainable environments with neighborhood centers, open spaces, mixed housing (including single-family and multi-family buildings), and increased connectivity, to reduce reliance on vehicles. Turning these visions into reality isn’t easy, but it’s possible. “Many small towns may have not had significant planning or investment since the Works Progress Administration, when they got their first paved roads in the 1940s,” said Stefan Pellegrini of Opticos Design in Berkeley, Calif. “Planning continues to be contentious in these places, but they’re small enough so you can achieve consensus.”

-- Businesses seeking to build can take advantage of a new tax credit program from the U.S. Treasury for new construction in distressed census tracts. The program (which has admittedly tight restrictions) helped the Garlington, Lohn & Robinson law firm construct a $14 million, six-story green office building in downtown Missoula, without having to put up the standard $4-plus million in cash that banks would typically want for such a project.

-- Green building today has evolved into an art form. Builders can insulate down to the slab to keep air and moisture out of buildings. They can use 95-percent-efficient gas-fired condensing boilers; Energy Star appliances; high-efficiency toilets that only use 1.28 gallons of water per flush; high-efficiency fans instead of air conditioners; and smart irrigation with built-in mini-weather stations, so the sprinklers don’t go on after it rains, said green-building expert Jeff Medanich, of the Colorado Chautauqua Association.

-- Green buildings can put green in your wallet. The Garlington building, which aims to be LEED gold certified, will have solar collectors on the roof to heat hot water, solar photovoltaic collectors to generate about 2 percent of the building’s energy use, natural lighting, recycling collection rooms, a high-efficiency radiant heating and cooling system, a reduced floor-to-floor height (to reduce building volume), and high performance solar-control glazing and sun shades, said the architect for the project, Marty Noyd of OZ Architects. The height reduction alone saved $465,000 in the building cost, he said.

In the end, even the wealthiest home and landowners want to take a breath, reassess and avoid any more tumult, as Sam Byrne of the Yellowstone Club put it. It’s time to achieve peace in the valley, he said. “The club’s goal now is to stabilize itself, stabilize its reputation, and not sell a lot in the next three years,” he said. He intends to offer more townhouses and condos in the future, put more land into conservation, and put eco-friendly measures in place.

“Less sprawl, more open space, with clustered developed that’s designed to be sustainable and environmentally friendly—that’s the goal that everyone’s been talking about today, and it’s not different at the high end of the marketplace,” said Byrne. With a few exceptions, he joked. Buyers might arrive in a private jet before they drive off in their Prius."

CrossHarbor. Sam Byrne Bought the Yellowstone Club for $335 Million Reduction then Refuses "Discovery" in Lawsuit over It.

"
1. The Agent and Prepetition Lenders have been seeking informal and formal
discovery of CrossHarbor Capital Partners, LLC and its affiliates and agents
("CrossHarbor") and other insiders of the Debtors since November 18, 2008. Since then,
CrossHarbor repeatedly has evaded such discovery.

Indeed, since these chapter 11 cases commenced, CrossHarbor has produced only two (2) documents (the "MOU" and "Agreement to Form") - - and then only because this Court specifically ordered their production. [Dkt. No. 152]

2. CrossHarbor's Motion-Objection is another attempt to evade prior
discovery orders and directives of this Court authorizing the Agent to obtain legitimate
and proper discovery of CrossHarbor, including

(i) an order, dated December 10, 2008 [Dkt. No. 149],

(ii) the Court's oral ruling on December 17, 2008 overruling
CrossHarbor's objection to the December 10, 2008 discovery order, and

(iii) the Court's most recent Rule 2004 discovery order, dated January 20, 2009 [Dkt. No. 289] (the "2004 Order") authorizing the Agent to take broad discovery of CrossHarbor.2

3. The time has come for CrossHarbor to permit - - and to be ordered to submit to - - Rule 2004 discovery of non-privileged information concerning its numerous prepetition and postpetition insider transactions and relationships with the Debtors, their ultimate control person, Edra Blixseth ("Blixseth"), their manager, Discovery Land Company ("DLC), and other parties.

Without such discovery, there is no way to measure and ensure the integrity of these chapter 11 cases and the plan process.

4. More particularly, the following circumstances justify and warrant the
Rule 2004 discovery that CrossHarbor seeks to evade:

· Less than one year ago, CrossHarbor was contractually obligated to
purchase substantially all of the Debtors' Yellowstone Club assets for
approximately $470 million
(the "CrossHarbor Asset Purchase
Transaction"). See Exhibit 1 hereto (Affidavit Of E. Blixseth, dated April
4, 2008) ("Blixseth Affidavit"), ex. K thereto.

· The CrossHarbor Asset Purchase Transaction would have provided funds
sufficient to pay in full all of the Debtors' creditors (including the
Prepetition Lenders), as well as substantial amounts for some of the
Debtors' equity holders. See Exhibit 1 hereto, para. 6-7.

· In mid-March 2008, just a week before CrossHarbor terminated the $470
million CrossHarbor Asset Purchase Transaction, CrossHarbor's principal,
Sam Byrne, attempted to persuade the Debtors to pursue a "prepackaged
bankruptcy" for the Yellowstone Club - - instead of the CrossHarbor Asset
Purchase Transaction. Id., para. 8, ex. C .

· CrossHarbor wanted the Debtors to pursue a "prepackaged bankruptcy" in
order to hinder certain creditors, avoid payment of the Prepetition Lenders,
and presumably allow CrossHarbor to obtain control of the Debtors and
their properties through bankruptcy without paying the full CrossHarbor
Asset Purchase Transaction purchase price. Id.

· CrossHarbor refused to close the CrossHarbor Purchase transaction and
threatened the Debtors in an effort to persuade them to agree to a prepackaged bankruptcy. Id.

· In connection with CrossHarbor's efforts to force the Debtors into
bankruptcy in March 2008 and its termination of the CrossHarbor Asset
Purchase Transaction, CrossHarbor used as leverage rights it purportedly 3
had obtained from Timothy Blixseth and Blixseth Group, Inc.

to (i) exercise development rights under the Yellowstone Club Master Plan of
Development and

(ii) purchase a substantial Yellowstone Club tract now owned or controlled by Blixseth (the "Tract"), to be subdivided with 41 lots for a purchase price of approximately $56 million. Id., ex. D, E. · Shortly after CrossHarbor terminated the $470 million CrossHarbor Asset Purchase Transaction on March 26, 2008, Blixseth filed the Blixseth Affidavit in a Montana state court, in an unsuccessful attempt to intervene in creditor litigation against the Debtors, to take control of the Debtors and advance her personal interests as an indirect shareholder and indirect creditor of the Debtors. Id. 1, 5, 6, 16.

· In the months that followed termination of the CrossHarbor Asset
Purchase Transaction, Blixseth and CrossHarbor formulated plans and
strategies that would permit CrossHarbor to obtain control of the Debtors
for its and Blixseth's benefit. (Dkt. No. 164 (Exs. 14-15: Memorandum of
Understanding dated August 29, 2008; Agreement to Form dated May 13,
2008); Transcript of December 11, 2008 Hearing (Blixseth testimony), at
63:18-65:1)).

· In August 2008, Blixseth obtained equity control of the Debtors through a
Marital Settlement Agreement with her ex-husband, Timothy Blixseth.

Blixseth's financial obligations under the Marital Settlement Agreement
were funded by CrossHarbor, and perpetuated CrossHarbor's control over
the Tract to be subdivided with 41 lots and valuable Yellowstone Club
development rights. (Transcript of December 11, 2008 Hearing (Blixseth
testimony), at 71:19-72:15)

· As a result of CrossHarbor's funding of Blixseth and other agreements and
understandings between the parties, she is effectively dominated by
CrossHarbor.

In particular, Blixseth and her affiliate, BLX Group Inc.
("BGI") are indebted to CrossHarbor in an amount exceeding $35 million.


Such indebtedness is secured by Blixseth's personal residence – owned by
BGI – and CrossHarbor is now enforcing such indebtedness (Transcript of
January 13, 2008 Hearing (Blixseth testimony), at 42:6-43:1).
· Upon obtaining ownership control of the Debtors, Blixseth gave
CrossHarbor (through its agent, Joseph Harris, acting as Chief Operating
Officer) full management control over the Debtors' Yellowstone Club
businesses and properties.

(Blixseth Dep. Tr. at 26:4-27:18; 61:14-62:17)
· After obtaining ownership control of the Debtors, Blixseth reached an
agreement in principle with CrossHarbor for a "global" recapitalization
and restructuring of the Debtors - - and entered into written agreements
(an "Agreement to Form" and "MOU") with CrossHarbor and DLC to 4
restructure the Debtors' businesses and advance their common interests in
giving CrossHarbor ownership and control of the Debtors' properties and
businesses. (Blixseth Dep. Tr. At 33:11-49:22; Transcript of December 11,
2008 Hearing (Blixseth Testimony) at 87:7-23).

· The Agreement to Form (which has not been terminated) calls for a
comprehensive development of Yellowstone Club property by
CrossHarbor.

This includes the platting of the Tract and CrossHarbor's
exercise of valuable development rights of the Debtors for Blixseth's and
CrossHarbor's benefit. Such platting and development by CrossHarbor
effectively reduces the number of lots that can be platted on the Debtors'
property because the overall Yellowstone Club development plan density
has not increased. (Ex. 2 hereto Madison County Planning Board Meeting
Minutes, dated April 7, 2008).

· On or about September 1, 2008, DLC began managing the Debtors
pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between the Debtors and
DLC (the "MOU"). (Blixseth Dep. Tr. 29:8-21)

· DLC has continued to manage all of the Debtors' operations and sales and
marketing functions, but was paid little if any compensation prepetition
and initially postpetition under the MOU.

The MOU entitles DLC to receive an equity participation in the restructured Debtors. (Blixseth Dep. Tr. 20:22-22:14)

· DLC is participating in the chapter 11 process in anticipation of achieving
the outcome for DLC contemplated by the MOU and Agreement to Form,
including acquisition of a "financial interest" in the Debtors. (Blixseth Dep.
Tr. 51:19-54:17)

· Just prior to commencement of these chapter 11 cases, Blixseth and
CrossHarbor steered the Debtors into bankruptcy, including by having
CrossHarbor's counsel prepare the Debtor's chapter 11 bankruptcy papers -
- at a time when the Debtors had no separate or independent bankruptcy
counsel. (Blixseth Dep. Tr. at 64:15-65:22)

· The Debtors' Chief Restructuring Officer, Ronald Greenspan
("Greenspan"), was selected and introduced to the Debtors by Blixseth's
personal counsel.

CrossHarbor, Blixseth and Greenspan have caused the
Debtors to deal exclusively with CrossHarbor in their formulation of plan
of reorganization terms.

· CrossHarbor's principal, Sam Byrne, has negotiated and reached putative
agreements with Blixseth on plan of reorganization terms - - without
involvement of Debtors' counsel.

· BGI is obligated to the Debtors on notes aggregating in excess of $200
million and thus, it follows, the Debtors and their estates and creditors are
competing against CrossHarbor in respect of its claims against Blixseth
and BGI's assets (Transcript of December 13, 2008 Hearing, 19:14-22,
27:19-22, 37:8-16)

5. The foregoing web of insider circumstances, relationships, agreements and
actions involving CrossHarbor, Blixseth and DLC pose substantial conflicts of interest
and self-dealing that undermine the prospects for a fair and lawful reorganization that
maximizes the value of the Debtors' estates for legitimate creditors.

Such conflicts of interest risks are compounded by the terms of the Final DIP Financing Order, which gives CrossHarbor approval rights over any plan of reorganization and asset sales.

6. Given the resistance of CrossHarbor, Blixseth and others to cooperate with
the Agent's discovery of facts germane to the integrity of these chapter 11 cases - - and
the numerous alleged and admitted conflicts of interest and irregularities in the
prepetition and postpetition management of the Debtors, their properties and financial
condition - - the Agent is filing contemporaneously herewith its motion under 11 U.S.C.
§ 1104 for mandatory appointment of an examiner (the "Examiner Motion").
7. For the reasons set forth more fully below and in the Examiner Motion,
the Court should deny CrossHarbor's Motion-Objection and enter an order compelling
CrossHarbor to provide the discovery authorized by the 2004 Order.

Need For Rule 2004 Discovery Of CrossHarbor
8. A plethora of insider relationships, agreements, understandings,
obligations and commitments exist between and among CrossHarbor, the Debtors, DLC
and other parties in interest. Each of the foregoing named parties are "insiders" within
the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31) ("insiders" include an 6
"officer", "person in control of the debtor", "affiliate, or insider of an affiliate as if such
affiliate were the debtor", and "managing agent of the debtor").

9. CrossHarbor is an "insider" given its prepetition and postpetition control
over the Debtors, directly and indirectly through its present control and influence over
Blixseth and her financial condition; its liens in the amount of $35 million on Blixseth's
personal residence, which is property owned by BGI - - the entity that owns and directly
controls the Debtors; its direct prepetition management control of the Debtors through
CrossHarbor's agent, Joseph Harris, who acted as the Chief Operating Officer of the
Debtors' Yellowstone Club businesses and properties before the petition date;

its activities steering the Debtors into chapter 11 before they engaged their own counsel; and
numerous contractual and other arrangements that continue to give CrossHarbor, among
other things, rights to act for the Debtors and control their development rights, including
land development platting rights.

10. Rule 2004 discovery of CrossHarbor is needed to uncover non-privileged
information that will permit the Court and all parties in interest a fair opportunity to
understand CrossHarbor's current and historical roles, involvements, intentions and
exercises of control over the Debtors and their properties, both prepetition and in
connection with these chapter 11 cases. Such information is needed before the Court
proceeds with approval of any disclosure statement for any plan of reorganization in
these cases.

The Court Should Overrule The CrossHarbor Motion-Objection
11. The Court should overrule the Motion-Objection because good cause
exists for examination of CrossHarbor under the 2004 Order. "The purpose of a Rule 7
2004 examination is to assist a party in interest in . . . assessing whether wrongdoing has
occurred."

In re Recoton Corp., 307 B.R. 751, 755 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2004); see also
Commodity Futures Trading Com. v. Weintraub, 471 U.S. 343, 353-54 (1985) (noting
that uncovering insider fraud is a "goal" of the Bankruptcy Code). This extends "beyond
the debtor to persons associated with [them] as well as to those persons who may have
had business dealings with the debtor." In Re Symington, 209 B.R. 678, 690 (Bankr. D.
Md. 1997).

Accordingly, "good cause is shown if the [2004] examination is necessary to
establish the claim of the party seeking the examination," In re Dinubilo, 177 B.R. 932,
943 (E.D. Ca. May 10, 1993), and "inquiries that are tightly-focused on the creditor's
relationship with a particular debtor will require a low level of good cause because they
represent a low level of intrusion into the creditor's business affairs and a low risk of
abuse."

In re Countrywide Home Loans, 384 B.R. 373, 393 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. 2008).

12. Good cause is amply present here. A web of material insider relationships
exists between and among CrossHarbor, the Debtors, Blixseth, the various Blixseth
controlled entities, DLC and other parties in interest.

Such relationships continue to
threaten the integrity of chapter 11 cases and any plan of reorganization process.
Moreover, any plan in these cases will implicate the treatment of the Prepetition Lenders'
claims - - and, therefore, discovery of issues going to the integrity of the plan proposal
and confirmation process is cause for enforcing the 2004 Order.

13. Blixseth and others have admitted CrossHarbor's indisputable prepetition
and postpetition involvements in the Debtors' and Blixseth's affairs. As such, there is no
merit to CrossHarbor's position in its Motion-Objection (pp. 9-10) that the discovery
being sought is outside the ambit of Rule 2004. CrossHarbor is not merely a "third party" 8
witness having "no relationship" to the Debtors' affairs or the administration of these
cases.

As the record of these cases already reflects - - and as Rule 2004 discovery will
show more completely - - CrossHarbor is a knowledgeable prepetition and postpetition
"insider" of the Debtors within the meaning of section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code.
See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31). As an insider, CrossHarbor is properly and fairly subject to
Rule 2004 discovery - - and such scrutiny is all the more necessary because of
CrossHarbor's central role and control over the Debtors' postpetition financing and plan
process.

14. There is no merit to CrossHarbor's allegations that the discovery the Agent
seeks is an "abuse or harassment" or a "scorched earth" tactic, because the discovery
sought falls squarely within Rule 2004. It is CrossHarbor that is abusing and
manipulating the Rule 2004 examination process and these cases with repeated attempts
to evade prior discovery requests and orders of the Court.
15. Despite CrossHarbor's rhetoric about its "extensive efforts to
accommodate Credit Suisse 's discovery demands" in these proceedings – CrossHarbor
has merely evaded the Agent's attempts to take meaningful discovery by insisting upon
patently unreasonable restrictions on the scope of any production.

However, inquiries under Rule 2004 are properly very broad. In re W&S Investments, Inc., 1993 WL 18272 (9th Cir. January 28, 1993) at *2 (citing In re Wilcher, 56 B.R. 428, 433 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 1985). CrossHarbor's Proposed Limits On Discovery Are Inappropriate

16. The Court should not countenance CrossHarbor's efforts to limit the scope
of Rule 2004 discovery to time periods and information set by CrossHarbor that will 9
preclude proper Rule 2004 examinations. Given the circumstances identified above,
there is abundant need and cause for Rule 2004 examination of non-privileged documents,
communications and other information that sheds light on CrossHarbor's: numerous
involvements with the Debtors and their properties; its insider relationships with the
Debtors, Blixseth, DLC and others; its prepetition actions and intentions to accomplish an
acquisition of the Debtors' assets within the last year (including efforts to force the
Debtors into bankruptcy as early as March 2008);

its termination of such acquisition and related efforts to force the Debtors to commence "prepackaged" bankruptcy cases in March 2008; its actions and intentions when directly controlling the management of the Debtors businesses prior to the commencement of these cases; its actions and intentions steering the Debtors toward commencing these chapter 11 cases; and its subsequent postpetition actions and intentions related to the Debtors' cases, Blixseth and DLC.

17. In short, the Court should overrule the Motion-Objection because it is only
another attempt by CrossHarbor to delay, hinder and avoid legitimate inquiry into
CrossHarbor's insider status, relationships, actions and intentions that go to the integrity
of these chapter 11 cases, numerous prepetition transactions involving CrossHarbor, and
any reorganization plan proposed by CrossHarbor and the Debtors.

18. CrossHarbor's agreements and relationships with Tim and Edra Blixseth
existed long before Edra Blixseth regained control of the Debtors in August 2008, and
CrossHarbor has been deeply involved with the Debtors and Blixseth in connection with
debtor-in-possession and undisclosed reorganization plan proposals, understandings and
agreements in these cases.

Although CrossHarbor wants to limit discovery only to the period ranging from May 19, 2008 to November 26, 2008, in the circumstances identified 10 above, it is entirely appropriate and necessary that the discovery period be January 1, 2007 through to the present.

19. CrossHarbor's objection to producing its non-privileged internal business
communications and documents is also without merit.

The Agent should be permitted to examine internal CrossHarbor communications to effectively evaluate both the nature and scope of CrossHarbor's material insider relationships, as well as CrossHarbor's intentions with respect to prepetition and postpetition actions, transactions and proposals involving the Debtors and their property, including without limitation any possible insider intentions and actions undertaken to delay or hinder the Debtors' legitimate creditors.
Certainly, non-privileged internal communications between individuals at CrossHarbor
concerning such issues goes directly to "the acts, conduct, or property or to the liabilities
and financial condition of the debtor."

In re MMH Auto. Group, LLC, 346 B.R. 229, 233

Brad Weston - Hamilton Police Department Brad Weston. Recall Judge Michael Reardon Hamilton Montana.

the Recall of Hamilton Montana Judge Michael Reardon

"This letter is to describe why Judge Michael Reardon, Hamilton City Judge will be recalled. The last time I graced the county elections office with a recall petition, it was the last time I worked; care of school resource officer (SRO) Brad Weston of the Hamilton Police Department. I was “interviewed” by Weston at which time I gave the name of a current employer.

Not the only time I was asked for my employer; threatened with an “investigation”, lost the job, without committing any crime. It was Officer Weston who took a report Nov, 2009: no-one should feel threatened by this information in the public eye.

City Attorney Bell
felt it was “ridiculous [he] had to swear an oath to the Constitution (Bell, in memo to City Council, 2007).”


Being a “Constitutionalist” has more obligations than collecting votes: it means fundamentally changing how Ravalli County Government operates. Specifically, it means ending the targeting or abuse of citizens as Judge Michael Reardon enjoys: a third ‘Reign’ of Hamilton’s city government.

Now that the County swearing-in ceremony is recently over, the Constitution is fresh in our minds; our elected officials will uphold the constitution.

Our right to petition government, redress harm, peaceful assembly on public property, and the freedom of speech are examples. Judge Reardon does not protect the right to sit peacefully on public property, threatens jail time, sentenced jail time for peaceful assembly. In paperwork from Reardon’s court, a threat to jury trial was made (protected in Montana, United States).

A personal attack came from Judge Michael Reardon from the bench, witnessed in official proceeding, most would call this harassment. Public officials should not harass, or charge crimes for protected activities.

In the case of Judge Reardon, a catastrophic failure of not protecting members of the public; instead he adds to the harassment, ridicule, and hyperbole with a grin on his face. Honorable judges serve the public, not themselves.

A Judge’s duty is not to violate the rights sworn to uphold. Not so Honorable Reardon is a formerMarine Corps JAG Lawyer, which makes the described actions so difficult to understand. After a “trial” the jurors were spooked at my presence or my family; hint of a predetermined outcome.

Any judge discussion with a jury or lawyer before trial (known as ex parte) violates the public’s due process. Bottom line: Hamilton does not need an unethical, abusive Judge like Reardon.

SAFE of the Bitterroot will tell you: when in an abusive relationship, you must find a way to stop the abuse. While I doubt Judge Michael Reardon will go to abuse counseling, he knows better than to abuse American’s rights.

Hamilton voters end the abuse by signing Michael's recall. Our City Judge engages in abuse to assist the well established local “government assistance program”; that is, to assist in the local terror racket: Hoffman, Bell, and formally Corn. We pay the salaries of these officials, and have right to recall.

This letter is for WC & Virginia Bolen who started the effort to portray then Prosecutor Reardon for his defamatory transgressions (and won), as well as the transgressions of the Sheriff Department, and a former prosecutor ( George Corn ) who charged her with a felony she did not commit.

Many people are similarly treated in Ravalli County; some examples published in 2002 by reporter Carlotta Grandstaff of the Missoula Independent.

The “Beneath the Beauty” documentary described past, present malicious behavior of Honorable Reardon, law enforcement, and public officials in the Bitterroot Valley. “Finders Keepers”, Bolen’s book describes all of the above.

The county has less than 29,000 adults, yet maintains 100% voter registration to restrict the recall of an elected county official; requiring more than 5, 000 signatures. In the city, 375 signatures needed to rid the City Judge.

Honorable Reardon has a generous retirement package from the county, the city, and the Marine Corps. While retirement is an option, a recall of not so Honorable Judge Michael Reardon should stop him at time of election November 2011.

I have encouraged his successor, remaining nameless to run for office, to function as an independent judiciary for the City of Hamilton, and US citizens who pass through Hamilton Montana without knowledge of the local assault on the US Constitution.

Since a Judge is protected with absolute immunity, we cannot sue Judge Reardon for his official transgressions.

We can exercise our right to remove him from office. Hamilton needs constitutional protections, not abusive governmental officials. Michael J. Reardon learned from, and assisted George Corn in the local terror of citizens, using attorneys, law enforcement, media outlets, and willing participants.

Hamilton Judge Michael Reardon and others may benefit improperly from issuing orders of protection. The monies normally credited from federal grants on local budgets of Hamilton and Ravalli County go missing, although protection orders thrown at the public like rice at a wedding.Only his tailor would know how big his pockets are for defrauded public funds. Judge Reardon and Judge Clute top the list of questionable protection orders issued.

Protection Orders are easily set up to trip-up an estranged spouse returning for personal belongings; more fines, this time directly to the county and city treasury.

Judge Michael Reardon’s recall is a reachable goal of less than 375 signatures needed, and 500 votes to boot him: proving the voters are more powerful than abusive public officials like Judge Michael Reardon.

Its time we ended the abuse of our rights. The county voters started it with the removal of Corn, and we must continue with the removal (or convince retirement for the 3rd time) of the most Honorable Reardon.

We owe it to the Bolens; we owe it to every person unjustly treated by Judge Reardon, and any official he collaborated with in Ravalli County.

A recall would send a clear message to our Ravalli County and city officials: by right of petition (includes the vote) we can remove Judge Reardon for violation of 11 Montana Judicial rules, and violation of American Bar Association rule 17 (ex parte communication).

If public officials want to collaborate illegally to violate our rights, we will collaborate to remove those officials by our constitutionally protected right to recall.

Any Judge malicious enough to allow a case that violates protected rights has no business on any bench; especially in Hamilton, Montana where law enforcement need a Judge willing to challenge their every move; not one singing to their qualities as “fine men (Reardon, 2009)”.

We need a Judge on our side, with knowledge of our rights, a “gentleperson” a respectful public servant who can apply the rule of law equally in Hamilton, Montana.

Judge Michael Reardon, the recall is coming—corruption, cronyism, will take leave from us.

Edward Manfredonia - Wall Street Whistleblower

"Crystal,

My integrity is unquestioned. I was the only individual, with knowledge of the insider trading scandal Motel 6, who did not trade on the basis of inside information. There is much more to this- but I will discuss that at a later issue.

Currently I am an investigative reporter specializing in Wall Street for The Black Star News.

In 1993 I was wired by the FBI. The Assistant United States Attorney, who signed my FBI wire order, is listed as AUSA Frances Fragos- better known as Frances Fragos Townsend, President George W Bush's Advisor on Homeland Security. The FBI wire order can be viewed at my website, Edward-Manfredonia.com.

The FBI uncovered money laundering, narcotics smuggling, a Mafia backed stock fraud, etc. by members of the Board of the American Stock Exchange.

The article below describes how I reported Ken Silverman, who was laundering money for Jamaican drug gangs, to the FBI- and how the FBI refused to investigate. It is a disgrace.

Unfortunately I cannot get a wider press. Milton Allimadi, the Publisher of The Black Star News, only acts when something benefits him directly- his words not mine. So Milton has not disseminated my articles.

Thank you.

Ed Manfredonia

http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/135/ARTICLE/6751/2010-08-16.html"

"
What About U.S. Accomplices To The Drug Business?

When we talk about the Jamaican drug gangs we can't act as if U.S. players are not involved in facilitating their drug trade. In the past, I personally forwarded information for the FBI, with no success, to investigate.

Brief background: In past columns, such as “Ex-Wall Street Trader’s Shadow Raises Questions In Canada,” which was published in The Black Star News on November 27, 2007, I detailed the money laundering activities of Robert VanCaneghan, a former member of the Board of the American Stock Exchange.

In “Why Ravitch Should Resign Before Paterson,” which was published on March 3, 2010 I detailed the sexual assaults on African-American women on Wall Street by Richard Monderine, an Amex supervisor, and similar attacks perpetrated by VanCaneghan. In other articles I have discussed involvement in drug smuggling and money laundering by Louis Miceli, a member of the Amex Board.

Throughout each of these articles loomed the constant presence of Arthur Levitt, former Chairman of the Amex and at that time Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because investigations were not pursued, or were actually blocked during his reign, drug dealers, money launderers, and rapists at the American Stock Exchange were protected. Levitt wanted no scandal to touch the American Stock Exchange and willingly covered up every crime imaginable at the Amex.

Since the chair of the SEC was set the tone, likewise, the Federal Bureau of Investigation did not pursue an Amex member who laundered money for violent Jamaican Drug Lords. At the time Levitt did not pursue major brokerage firms, such as Spear Leeds and Kellogg, which was involved in laundering money from drug dealers. Spear Leeds also routinely assisted individuals in committing tax fraud by hiding their income. I obtained the information about these illegal activities from Joseph Roffler, a former managing director of Spear Leeds and Kellogg.

The Caribbean nation of Jamaica has been in the news as a result of violent upheavals involving drug gangs battling the Jamaican Police and Army. Over 70 Jamaicans have been killed. The ostensible cause of this battle was the impending extradition of Christopher “Dudus” Coke, whom the United States charged with smuggling cocaine and marijuana into New York and other cities along the Eastern Seaboard. The drug gang which he led is known as the Shower Posse--reputedly rivals were showered with bullets.

When I was still on Wall Street there was a member of the American Stock Exchange who admitted to and boasted about laundering drug money for Jamaican drug gangs; possibly The Shower Posse.

One of these gangs owned motorcycle rental shops and owned a financial services firm that invested in stocks. The Shower Posse has been linked to the murders of 1,400 African-Americans in the United States.

As I have stated in previous columns I was once wired by the FBI in 1993 to assist in an investigation of the involvement of the Italian Mafia stock fraud in a company known as PNF, which was introduced at the American Stock Exchange by Miceli and VanCaneghan.

These were two members of the Board of the Amex who were laundering drug money from the Cayman Islands via their Amex specialist firm Miceli-VanCaneghan. Miceli was also smuggling cocaine from the Bahamas aboard his private boat, The Jaded Lady. This money laundering was done via a subsidiary of Spear Leeds and Kellogg.

One day, June 3, 1994 precisely, Gene Weissman, an Amex member, and I were walking along West Broadway in Manhattan when we encountered Ken Silverman, an Amex member, whom we knew had encountered financial problems as a trader. Silverman cleared his trades through Spear Leeds and Kellogg. Silverman informed us that he was laundering money for Jamaican drug dealers who were smuggling marijuana into the United States. He had also met with Al Avasso, a front man for the Italian Mafia and had sought to invest in some of Avasso’s pump and dump stock frauds.

Silverman said that his Jamaican drug dealing friends had wanted him to invest the proceeds of their illicit activities into the United States. Silverman even boasted about his house in Negril, in Jamaica, which was situated on the water. He said he also dealt in motorcycles and motorcycle parts for his business partners in Jamaica. He said he also owned a motorcycle rental business in Negril.

On June 6, 1994 I wrote to an FBI special agent whom I had already worked with, Joseph Yastremski, and provided the information I had obtained from Silverman. Several months later I was stunned when Silverman informed me that he had been given a copy of the letter I had sent to Yastremski by Joel Lovett, Vice Chairman of the American Stock Exchange.

The question of how Lovett obtained a copy of what was supposed to be a confidential letter to the FBI is the topic of a future column.

On August 9, 1995 I wrote a letter, certified mail Z 184 431 950, to another FBI Special Agent, Michael Degnan which in part read: “On Monday, August 6, I met a former AMEX member who currently resides in Jamaica. This individual informed me that it is his belief that Silverman is involved in laundering money.”

As far as I could tell there was no action or investigation. Other sources provided information to me about Silverman. So on 7 April 1997 I wrote to the Legal Division of the FBI via certified letter, Z 424 567 292 informing them that I had previously supplied information to special agents, with no results. On 28 April 1997 I once again wrote to the FBI Legal Division via certified mail, P 399 558 454 with additional information.

In a letter to Representative John Dingell, then Chairman of the House Commerce Committee, dated October 17, 1997, certified mail Z 370 911 908, I wrote about my futile attempts to get the FBI to investigate the involvement of Wall Street players in the drug business and money laundering. "Such is the stupidity of the FBI," I wrote, "permitting fronts for laundered money access to the United States because the Department of Justice wishes to protect the reputations of the American Stock Exchange.." I also wrote that the Justice Department wanted to protect Levitt's reputation.

On October 26, 1997 I also wrote a letter, certified mail Z 037 468 718 to Senator William Roth about the lack of an investigation by the FBI into the crimes on Wall Street.

I never received a response to any letters. To my knowledge the FBI never investigated Silverman.

Fourteen hundred African-Americans murdered. Jamaicans murdered. We talk about Dudus and 70 Jamaicans died as authorities fought to apprehend him and send him here to trial.

Yet our own investigative authorities ignore those right here in the United States who help facilitate the crimes of the Jamaican drug lords. Does anyone really believe that there would not have been an investigation and that American accomplices --and the Jamaican gang members-- would have been busted had the 1,400 dead been White victims?


Manfredonia was a former Wall Street trader who was later blacklisted when he became a whistleblower.

Montana Sheriff Chris Hoffman in Hamilton Threatens Private Citizen for Exposing Corruption in Montana Law Enforcement.

Letter Sent to FBI and to Ravalli County Montana Commissioners Regarding Montana SheriffChris Hoffman Threatening Michael Spreadbury, Investigative Blogger - Montana Corruption Exposer - Montana Victims Rights Advocate and "Montana Media" or Was til his Sites were forced down by Ravalli County Montana Corruption.

" Dear Commissioners,

I had asked for a time to convey this information in person, but feel it better to do so by email.

The current Sheriff, Chris Hoffman has threatened me in person at the Sheriff Office in 2009, has been inappropriate on a telephone call from his county issued phone (406) 375-4001 this month.

On October 10, 2006 Deputy Chris Albright and Lt. Holton answered a call to 291 Cooper Ln. They did not take pictures of all evidence, took a doctored photograph of scratches on the wrong cheek of a perpetrator, made victim by former Co. Atty Corn.

Albright swiveled his microphone on his hand held altering the speech of the interview with me. No pictures were taken of smoke grenades, or broken glass location.

Protecting property, after the Sheriff Department fails to do so (with case # open) is an inalienable right (Art. II s. 3) Montana Constitution.

Fundamental constitutional right means equal protection, not equal brutality of the public in Ravalli County.

On November 4, 2009 Deputy Albright and Lt. Holter kicked in my front door at ..... Hamilton while I was not home.

They were serving a civil service, left no paperwork, left no phone message that they were there.

The damage remained, covered up by RCSO.

While running for office, Joede Vanek and Chris Hoffman discussed an incident where a drunken brawl took place at a UM football game where Deputy Albright used his badge to get out of criminal behavior.

Vanek also told me Deputy Albright used a county computer to access pornography on duty. I believe Joede Vanek.

As commissioners, do we want law enforcement who are above the law?

Do we want a Sheriff who will protect this behavior?

We also know about RCSO felony theft, felony partner assault, and unsolved triple murders from more than 10 years ago.

I don't believe Deputy Albright fits any mold for law enforcement, nor Lt. Holter. They are your employees, and are free to do this to any member of the public until disiplined or removed from duty. Serve and protect is lost on the Ravalli County Sheriff Department.

If you didnt know this already (unlikely), you now know. Your constituents need protecting from this law enforcement behavior, and their chief who does not model any better behavior. Again, he represents Ravalli County.

Intel Shareholder Fraud over iViewit Technologies Still Undisclosed by Intel CEO Paul Otellini

"iViewit Technologis SEC COMPLAINT against INTEL CORPORATION

White Collar Crime Division and Any and All Compliance Division Heads and Related
Offices:

I, Eliot Bernstein, of .....
Street, Boca Raton, Florida 33434 as the
Original Owner and Inventor of key "backbone technologies" for video and imaging as
further described herein, am filing this Formal Complaint against Intel Corporation ( Intel ) with United States headquarters located at 2200 Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, Ca,
95054-1459, and bring to your attention ongoing investigations involving multiple
federal offices around the country as well as International investigations pertinent in this
matter.

Intel is a primary wrongdoer as a named defendant in a presently Pending Trillion
Dollar international RICO Conspiracy Lawsuit involving the theft and fraud of my Intellectual Property rights as further set out herein.

In addition to liabilities claimed in this lawsuit, are separate direct primary liabilities and obligations from signed agreements including Non Disclosure’s, Strategic Partner Agreements and Licensing Agreements.

Further, on information and belief Intel corporate management including at least the
President, Paul S. Otellini and corporate counsel Bruce D. Sewell, and Stephen R.
Rodgers are also involved in an ongoing and undisclosed massive international Fraud
against the Intel shareholders and investors.

Upon information and belief, the frauds include but are not limited to the failure
to disclose both the lawsuit and the Intellectual Property Infringements in direct violation
of various SEC laws and rules including but not limited to FASB No. 5 requirements for
disclosing liabilities and more.

Merely one claim in this lawsuit involves the attempted Murder upon my family by an Iraqi style car bombing that blew up three vehicles in addition to mine during the early phases of the high stakes corporate theft and fraud of my Intellectual Property Rights.

Notably, federal Judge Shira Scheindlin referred to this as a case involving Murder that has also been marked as legally “related” by Scheindlin to an ongoing Federal Whistleblower Case

In summary, dating back to 1998-1999 at the time the inventions were discovered,
I had Signed Non Disclosure Agreements, Strategic Alliance Agreements and Licensing
Arrangements, including Agreements that were at the time in legal review for R3D
relating to the USE of my Proprietary Rights in inventions which were hailed as the "Holy
Grail" of the internet.

The technologies were deemed the “Holy Grail” by multiple experts under signed NDA’s as it permitted full screen full frame rate video previously thought impossible and zoom and pan imaging technologies which removed pixel distortion.

The stolen technologies are now commonly found on virtually all digital imaging and video hardware and software.

These Signed Agreements were amongst hundreds of signed agreements with many Fortune 1000 Companies.

After signing Agreements with Real 3D, Inc. ( R3D ), a company whose ownership was composed of Lockheed Martin ( 70% ), Intel ( 20% ) and Silicon Graphics Inc. ( 10% ), Intel later took over complete ownership of R3D of Orlando Florida.

In the subsequent months thereafter, a series of critical events occurred including
but not limited to the discovery of fraudulent patent applications and the discovery of
fraudulent corporations, the corporate frauds were discovered by Arthur Andersen during
an audit for the largest investor in the companies Crossbow Ventures of W. Palm Beach
Florida.

Nearly two-thirds of the Crossbow funds were secured through SBIC Loans from
the Small Business Administration making the SBA the largest investor in the
technologies and companies.

On information and belief, the SBA Inspector General’s office is conducting an ongoing investigation into these and other matters please refer to the SBA Inspector General’s office to obtain relevant information.

As you will see by the letter and petition to the 44
the US President, Barack Hussein Obama II, found @
and also sent to US Attorney General Eric Holder, I was then directed by Harry I. Moatz,
Director of the United States Patent & Trademark Office, Office of Enrollment and
Discipline to file charges with the Commissioner of Patents claiming Fraud Upon the
USPTO, my companies and myself.

This led to the Suspension of certain Intellectual Properties while investigations remain ongoing; please refer to Moatz and the Commissioner of Patents office to obtain relevant information.

In addition, Moatz directed me to seek Congressional Legislation to obtain an Act of Congress to correct the falsified Oaths on my Intellectual Properties submitted by my former legal counsel at the law firms of Meltzer, Lippe, Goldstein & Schlissel, Foley & Lardner and Proskauer Rose.
An Act of Congress is necessary to make the changes in inventors, owners and assignees
that are fraudulent, for which we have sought aid from The Honorable Senator Dianne
Feinstein who remains working through her offices regarding such.

These backbone technologies which were stolen in 1998-1999 have since been
used throughout the United States and across the globe throughout the entire value chain
of content creation and distribution of video and images for both software and hardware
in the transmission of Digital Video and Imaging across ALL Spectrums, including, the
Internet, Television, DVD, HD DVD, Micro Processing Chips, as well as, a mass of
applications for Defense, Flight & Space Simulation, including on the Hubble Space
Telescope (providing a deeper view into time) and on virtually all Medical Imaging
Devices, and more.

In fact, members of R3D and Intel were some of the earliest champions of the value of the technologies claiming they were “Priceless” and were valued in the hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars over the life of the Intellectual Properties, having transformed the world of Digital Imaging and Video that now are considered part of daily life.

Intel was one of the earliest players in this scheme and has continued to not only
defraud myself and the other rightful owners of the technologies, including Ellen
DeGeneres and Alanis Morissette, but has simultaneously defrauded the Intel's
shareholders and investors for years by failing to report and disclose the liabilities with
full knowledge of their Binding Obligations regarding the technologies.

These frauds and failures by the Intel management team have continued despite multiple communications over several years that have gone directly to the President of Intel, Mr. Paul S. Otellini and their Corporate Counsel Mr. Bruce D. Sewell and Steven R. Rodgers and continue despite the knowledge of the signed Agreements.

At this time, however, as noted in my Feb. 2009 letter to the Office of the US
President Barack Hussein Obama II and the US Attorney General Eric Holder, I wish to
bring to your direct attention the identities of several federal offices already involved in
this ongoing national and international Intellectual Properties theft and fraud.

Investigations that will aid and facilitate the SEC with background information for the
proper performance of complete investigations by the SEC allowing for information
sharing with these agencies, some of the key offices are as follows:

1. Glenn A. Fine, Office of Inspector General of the US Department of Justice
2. Harry Moatz, Director, OED of the USPTO
3. H. Marshall Jarrett, Office of Professional Responsibility of the FBI
4. A complete list of Federal, State & International Actions can be found @

Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney And Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Concealed Material Evidence

Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney And Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace Concealed Material Evidence and in this I was given an Undo, Illegal, Immoral Protective Order Against me. The Man I Feared was given a Protective Order Against ME. I had to Stay Away from him and to NOT Write about him. This was an attempt to Scare me - STOP me from Writing on Corruption in Lincoln County Montana and Ravalli County Montana.

Lincoln County Montana Officials and Ravalli County Montana Officials Really Wanted to SHUT me up in the Summer of 2009. I was writing on corruption in the Lincoln County Montana and Ravalli County Montana Justice System and it was Election Time. Plus the Corruption I was Exposing was digging into Decades of Dirt on Lincoln County Montana Officials and Ravalli County Montana Officials and they could not afford for the Truth to Get Out, so they Made me, my life, my career .. their Collateral Damage in a Political War that had NOTHING to do with Me.

In July of 2009, I got into an online Spat with a man, and Lincoln County MontanaOfficials and Ravalli County Montana Officials grabbed onto him and gave him the red carpet treatment to Shut Me Up. I claimed he sent me a Death Threat, they all say to this Day that I sent it to myself. Well it was Pretty Graphic and Quite Sick, I would not have sent that around. No Way. I have also been accused of being Coached by "Paul Stramer", thing is I had never had a Private Conversation with Mr. Paul Stramer until I received this Death Threat and was asked by his attorney to testify on his behalf.

I was Denied Protection and No Lincoln County Montana Officials and Ravalli County Montana Officials, or Missoula County Officials have to this day even TRIED to prove where my Death Threat came from. Why? Because they knew from the Start who sent the threat and they had the Hard Proof.

The day I first took my Death Threat to City Judge Stormy Langston in Eureka Montana, as she is Also the Justice of the Peace in Eureka Montana, however that particular Day she was at City Court in her "Judge Job" there. She Told me that day she knew for sure it was the man I said it was, she said she would give me a protective order. Then She changed her mind and said well I can't prove where it came from. BULL. The Technical Evidence was Massive and NO One even Tried to Prove where it came from.

Next thing you Know, One of My Bloggers sends a Snotty Gram to the Email account that Sent my Death Threat, he did not know who he was sending it to. Then a couple days later, SeanBoushie files a Police Report claiming that Stephen Mocko threatened him, the Email was the Evidence. This proved without a Doubt who had access to the eMail account that sent me a Death Threat. When I found out, that there was a Complaint Filed with the Eureka Montana Police Department, I called right away. I spoke with Officer Grey, I Taped that Call - Click Here for Call . I was told that Officer Maury McKinney took that Complaint. So Officer Grey says so, and So did Officer Maury McKinney when At my Door. Thing is that Complaint was never allowed as "Evidence" to me. My Defamation Lawsuit was Blocked by Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney with LIES to my attorney that There was an investigation when there was not.

When County Police Officer Maury McKinney served me the Corrupt Protective order from Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace, I asked him if he had received that complaint, he said he did and that it was sent to Bernie Cassidy - Lincoln County Attorney.I recorded that Visit to my door for my own protection. County Police Officer Maury McKinney told me he took the complaint, and I said well that proves who sent my Death threat. He said well you can't really tell... BULL it is Technical Evidence, easily proven. Thing is County Police Officer Maury McKinney is Friends with the Man I Claimed threatened to Kill Me.
Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney had the Evidence all along and Concealed it therefore Blocking my Defamation Lawsuit, and setting me up for a year protective order, 15 months and counting of harassment and Stalking, and severe Defamation to the Point of Losing Massive Real Estate Commissions.

So even though many still claim That I Controlled that account and I emailed myself that death threat, well hmmmm why did the man I accused of sending it .. get an email sent to that account and file a Report at the Eureka Police Department with County Police Officer Maury McKinney? He had to have access to the Account to Get that Email Right?

Judge Robin Clute Knew of the Complaint, and She WOULD not allow it in her Court. My Aggressor, Wrote the Complaint as part of his evidence in the "Reasons" he should be protected from me. Click Here for More on That.

Judge Robin Clute would not let him admit that Complaint into Evidence as it proved the WRONG thing, and she needed to Set Me Up. See it PROVED without a Doubt that He was the Aggressor and NOT me, so That's Easy SHE told him in Court... a Supposed Court of Record Right? Well I Recorded it for my Protection, she told him he could not admit the Stephen Mocko Complaint into evidence.

Therefore Judge Robin Clute , Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace Concealed Evidence, with intent to endanger my life and to ruin my business.

Also Judge Robin Clute would not allow any information that I Received from Hamilton District Court Judge Haynes, though this quoted the Montana Law that Said there was No Protective Order LEGAL in this Situation. Judge Robin Clute gave this man a Protective Order and did not make it Mutual.

The Protective Order given Against me had NO base in Fact, no Proof of a Threat or Fear, No Base in Law and Yet
Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace gave him one anyway. Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace is Above the Laws of the State of Montana, Violates Constitutional and Civil Rights and Has, In my Opinion NO Moral Conscience. I was telling the Truth all Along.

This Man has continued to Stalk, Harass and threaten me for 15 months and counting. Meanwhile Lincoln County Montana Officials and Ravalli County Montana Officials spread information that I have Lied, that I have a Bad Reputation and that I am being "investigated" when this is Not True. The FBI is NOT investigating me, I have done nothing against the Law, and there is No Legitimate Investigation on me.

These Flat Out Lies and Defamation has Cost me Major Commissions in My Real Estate Company, and Cost me PR Jobs Online. This Severe Defamation was NOT based in Fact What So Ever, it was an Attempt to Cover Up Corruption in Lincoln County Montana and RavalliCounty Montana. I was never Charged with anything at all, I was simply harassed, discriminated against and defamed. All to protect Corruption in Lincoln County Montana and Ravalli County Montana.

The Lincoln County Sheriff Department and the Montana Corruption that attempted to STOP me from telling the Truth on them, they told other State and Federal "Authorities" that I was being investigated, when I Was NOT. And this made it so the Missoula Police, the University of Montana Police, the State of Montana Officials, and More Simply Dropped my Complaints... my Requests for Protection as I became the Criminal when in Fact I was the Victim.

This Also put me on some sort of Homeland Security Watch list as I am detained at Airports and told that I am showing as a "Security Risk" on their Computer Screens and All because I Exposed Judicial Corruption and Corrupt Law Enforcementin Lincoln and RavalliCounty Montana. So now I cannot freely travel without suspicion, when I did not do anything against the law or threatening in ANY way.

Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney And Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace could have subpoenaed Google, Yahoo and other sites in a few minutes to find the Real Identity of the person who sent my Death Threat. But Instead Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney And Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace IGNORED my Constitutional Rights, Failed to Investigate and Did nothing to Prove the Facts in my Case. Therefore I Suffered over 15 months and counting now of Defamation, Threats, Harassment and to this Day Bernie Cassidy, Lincoln County Attorney And Judge Robin Clute Hamilton Montana Justice of the Peace have Concealed Material Evidence in my Case. They have Known, without a doubt for over 15 months WHO Threatened to Kill me and they did nothing to protect me and instead turned it all on me..
