Mayor Rahm Emanuel met Thursday with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak — who delivered a message, I’m told, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not attempting to interfere in the U.S. presidential election to benefit Mitt Romney.

Emanuel and Barak — friends for some 18 years — lunched in Chicago’s City Hall and the mayor presented him with a six-pack of Chicago’s Goose Island 312 beer.

Emanuel often meets with foreign dignitaries who are in Chicago. Mayoral spokesman Sarah Hamilton said Barak and Emanuel first tried to get together six months ago, but a meeting never took place until Thursday.

In an almost unprecedented turn of events and somewhat ironically, the man who once stated “our justice systems, our courts, are the best things about this country because in other countries, they settle their problems through violence” is now accused of conspiring with others to operate the justice system as a criminal racketeering enterprise.

Court documents filed with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia reveal that controversial trial attorney Tom Girardi of Los Angeles-based Girardi & Keese is accused of violating the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

Among the claimed misconduct, the civil suit alleges that in exchange for favorable treatment in court cases, Girardi resorted to the use of payoffs, underwriting social events, and the laundering of money to effect the outcome of court cases “with certain judges and attorneys.”

Tom Girardi of Girardi & Keese. Per the Ninth Circuit, Walter Lack and Thomas Girardi have resorted to employing “the persistent use of known falsehoods” and “false representations” were made “knowingly, intentionally, and recklessly” during years of litigation. Subsequent to those findings, the State Bar of California appointed Howard Rice’s Jerome Falk to serve as special prosecutor against Girardi, Lack, and their respective firms. None mentioned that Girardi and Lack are actually clients of Jerome Falk and Howard Rice. See story here.

RICO is a federal law that authorizes a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. RICO focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows for the leaders of a syndicate to be held civilly liable for the crimes that they ordered others to commit or which they assisted in committing.

(Image:courtesy)

The suit also asserts that other individuals engaged in racketeering activities, including Tom Layton — a former Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff/Senior State Bar of California investigator, and Alec Chang of Skadden Arps.

Girardi is married to Erika Jayne, an American dance/club music performer who is also known as Erika Girardi. He has been feartured regularly on The Leslie Brodie Report. For example, we previously reported about an ethics complaint alleging multiple acts of misconduct filed with the State Bar of California against attorneys from the firms of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Girardi & Keese.

A judge has refused to throw out the bribery case against former Massachusetts Probation Commissioner John O’Brien, ruling there is direct evidence that he organized a fundraiser for former state Treasurer Timothy Cahill in an effort to get O’Brien’s wife a job.

The Boston Globe (http://b.globe.com/TCUNNR ) reports the judge concluded Wednesday that grand jury testimony showed that O’Brien pressured his employees to donate thousands of dollars to Cahill in 2005 based on the “well-founded perception that his doing so was the means by which his wife would obtain employment.”

In other related news, the wide network of Asian Pacific Islanders (“API”) operatives allegedly involved in myriad financial schemes on behalf of utility companies and their law firms continue to grow, a new wrinkle was recently added as California Supreme Court Associate Justice Ming W. Chin’s tenure has been shaken by revelations of alleged bribery by Edison International (“EIX”), Southern California Edison (“SCE”), and the law firm which represents them — Munger Tolles & Olson (“MTO”).

Image may be NSFW.

Fred Rowley of Munger Tolles & Olson who allegedly served as the middleman and conduit of bribes in his capacity as director of CAUSE. Once caught, Rowley conspired with Justice Chin, MTO, SCE, and others to defraud and mislead the California Commission on Judicial Performance. According to MTO, Rowley is a member of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council and the Pacific Council on International Policy. He also serves on the boards of directors of CAUSE, a non-profit that promotes Asian-Americans in politics. (image: courtesy of MTO)

A source familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity, maintain that “overwhelming and undisputed” evidence shows that for a period of several years, both SCE and MTO poured large amounts of money into a questionable non-profit entity for which Justice Chin served as an official adviser, albeit secretly so.

The non-profit at issue is Pasadena-based Center for Asian-American United for Self Empowerment (“CAUSE”), which allegedly spends the money it collects for the purpose of voter-registration of API, as well as to lobby for furthering the appointments of APIs to various governmental positions.

While Justice Chin’s clandestine involvement with CAUSE began in approximately 2004, the source maintain the inquiry is focused on the years prior to the recent election by which Justice Chin was up for re-election, and during the time period one alleged wrongdoer – API Fred Rowley of MTO – served as the middleman and conduit of bribes in his capacity as director of CAUSE.

This, according to the source, creates not only the appearance of improprieties but actual misconduct as bestowing anything of value on a judicial officer by SEC and MTO to sponsor an entity which will register as many as APIs as possible who would, in turn, vote for the retention of Chin in the upcoming election, is prohibited.

As mentioned earlier, Justice Chin abruptly quit CAUSE in the midst of an inquiry by the California Commission on Judicial Performance subsequent to a complaint which alleged that Chin’s long-standing involvement with the entity — which caters exclusively to APIs — is prohibitive due to CAUSE’s invidious discrimination against those who are non-API. At that time, those were the only allegations lodged, and no mention was made of alleged improprieties by EIX, SCE, or MTO.

Following his abrupt departure, it is alleged that Justice Chin conspired with Fred Rowley, MTO, SCE, and others to defraud and mislead the California Commission on Judicial Performance as well as the public by creating the false impression that he was not an official adviser by causing the retroactive removal of his name from CAUSE’s web-site.

The reckless pursuit of easy money originating from utility companies by a handful of public servants who suppose to serve the public — rather than enrich themselves or their own racial groups — is slowly but surely destroying the reputation of California’s judicial branch and I call upon Justice Chin to resign, the source concluded.

This latest revelation brought to four the number of sham non-profit entities created at the urging of the California Public Utilities Commission which absorbed money from utility companies under highly suspicious circumstances, to wit, CaliforniaALL, CCPF, CAUSE, and CETF.

Pictured above is Judge McElroy, who is either unwilling or unable to recognize the seriousness of her anti-social behaviour. Her involvement in the “Bribing Pat” saga alerted TLR, McElroy’s integrity is amiss. (Photo: Courtesy of Bar Journal.)

According to the sources, Judge McElroy’s misconduct as it relates to Ronald Gottschalk – Thomas Girardi’s former co-counsel in class-action litigation and current nemesis.

Specifically, and as was previously reported here, Mr. Ronald Gottschalk and Girardi & Keese’s Thomas Girardi were co-counsel representing plaintiffs in various actions. Once a dispute erupted between Gottschalk and Girardi, the State Bar of California came knocking on Gottschalk’s door.

Gottschalk’s lawyer– Mr. Stanley Arouty– submitted a sworn statement to the California Supreme Court accusing McElroy of intentionally destroying an audio tape which serves as the official court record.
(See excerpts from Arouty’s declaration above)

The State Bar of California, realizing that the evidence against Gottschalk is weak and not credible at the extreme, obtained a default judgment against Gottschalk during a time period which the State Bar knew Mr. Gottschalk was unavailable. Participating in the scheme against Gottschalk were Mr. Paul O’Brien from the Office of Chief Trial Counsel and Judge Patrice McElroy.

In another instance, during a hearing presided over by Judge McElroy, she disclosed that Peter G. Keane — who was then Dean of Golden Gate University School of Law and was representing an adverse witness (Ms. Sara E. Raymond) — had been her supervisor when she was previously employed as an assistant Public Defender.

Certain appeals were filed, but they are no longer pending, and the Court’s decision is final.  Payments to eligible class members will be mailed during the week ending Friday November 2, 2012.

BACKGROUND:

Fogel v. Farmers Group Inc.) is primarily based on the case originally advanced by the State of Texas and Governor Rick Perry, along with the Texas Department of Insurance, against Farmers Group, Inc. in approximately 2002.

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

Within days after the State of Texas filed the case, settlement negotiations commenced, and very shortly thereafter a settlement was announced in the amount of approximately $100 million. Joe K. Longley, an attorney from Austin, Texas (alongside Philip K. Maxwell and Steve McCleery), representing policyholder Jan Lubin, stated that Texas is settling on the “cheap,” and immediately commenced legal proceedings to derail the settlement.

Farmers’ policyholders Gilberto Villanueva and Michael Paladino both had previous class actions pending in the State of Texas prior to the State action being brought. These Intervenors were represented by State Bar of Texas members Alice Oliver-Parrott, David Burrow, David Jones, and R. Martin Weber.

At that time, Mr. Longley publicly stated that Farmers was unfairly enriched in an amount 10 times greater than the settlement amount, and presumably Mr. Longley wanted the State of Texas to settle for an amount close to $1 billion. Longley. along with several other lawyers (Phil Maxwell, Mike Gallagher, and Stephen McCleery), who were later joined by David Burrow, Alice Oliver-Parrot, Mike Gallagher and Dan Downey (collectively “Texas Class Counsel” ), immediately commenced legal proceedings to halt the settlement.

Beginning in December 2002 and continuing thereafter for five months in 2003, the parties engaged in intensive discovery; motion practice; document review; hearing preparation; hearings; and depositions, and extensive lawyer time and effort took place to prepare for, and participate in, the preliminary approval hearing the Texas District Court had set to be heard commencing in May 2003.

In February 2003, it became apparent to the Lubin’s co-counsel that additional legal assistance was needed. Mike Gallagher and Dan Downey were added at that time to act as co-counsel, with Longley & Maxwell, LLP, in representing Jan Lubin.

During those proceedings, particularly during the initial phase, Texas Class Counsel obtained and reviewed thousands of documents, and through masterful lawyering, and while opposed by the endless resources of the Attorney General of the State of Texas managed to derail the settlement. This matter became known as the “Lubin Proceedings,” and is still pending in the Texas courts, 261 Judicial District Court of Travis County.

Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, noted that “Farmers Insurance represent nearly twenty percent of the homeowners’ insurance market in Texas.”  Governor Perry further noted that “the investigations are still ongoing, but the findings reflect that at least on company, Farmers Insurance, has engaged in unfair, discriminatory prices to charge consume excessive and unjustified rates.” In the above photo, Governor Perry is seen before a hunting trip near Merrill, Iowa. (Photo Credit: AP Photo/Dave Weaver)

Recognizing that much of the legal work was already completed by the State of Texas and the Texas Department of Insurance — which gave rise to a presumption of validity and credibility to the allegations against Farmers — Mr. Longley and some of the Texas Class Counsel saw the enourmous opportunity that had been presented to them and sought to file a nationwide class action against Farmers.

As such, in 2003, Longley and a few of the Texas Class Counsel flew to Los Angeles to meet with Messrs. Thomas Girardi (of Girardi & Keese) and Walter Lack (of Engstrom Lipscomb & Lack); one month later, after the appropriate plaintiff had been selected, the case was filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court styled Benjamin Fogel v Farmers Group Inc.

In approximately 2010, a settlement was reached in this pending matter allocating $455 million to be shared by the class, and $90 million in attorneys’ fees. Class counsel (both from Texas and California) advanced a motion for attorneys’ fees supported by declarations and exhibits. The declarations from Texas Class Counsel submitted to this Court are based on work performed in BOTH the Lubin and Fogel matters.

GIRARDI AND LACK

Usually, the relationship between Girardi & Keese and Engstrom Lipscomb & Lack is based on a business model whereby Girardi & Keese and Thomas Girardi are responsible for financing the litigation, as well as providing much needed “clout,” very often withing the judicial system of Los Angeles County and the State Bar of California (to wit Thomas Girardi’s friendship with former California Supreme Court Chief Justice George; his friendship with former California State Bar Chief Trial Counsel and former crack addict Mike Nisperos, to whom Girardi serve as a “mentor”; his financing of the political career of the present Executive Director of the State Bar of California, Hon. Senator Joe Dunn; and other questionable “friendships” and relationships, the basis of which are usually political contributions and gifts).

Walter Lack and his firm, who are more methodical, are responsible for the day-to-day management of the litigation through motion practice, discovery, hearings etc. Once serious settlement negotiations commence, Mr. Girardi himself takes over the discussions, and has the final say on whether and under what terms the case should settle.

YR’S ETHICS COMPLAINT AGAINST SKADDEN GIRARDI LACK

According to sources familiar with the situation, ethical breaches took place as a result of Skadden Arps’ representation of Girardi & Keese in the matter of In Re Girardi because, at the same time, Girardi & Keese and Skadden Arps were on opposing sides in the case of Fogel v. Farmers Group, Inc.

According to the sources, the parties named in the complaint were Raoul Kennedy, Thomas Nolan, and Richard Zurmoski of Skadden Arps as well as Graham LippSmith and Thomas Girardi of Girardi & Keese.

The complaint alleged that in August 2003, Walter Lack (of Engstrom, Lipscomb & Lack) and Thomas Girardi and Graham LippSmith (of Girardi & Keese) filed a class action suit on behalf of plaintiffs Benjamin Fogel against Farmers Group, Inc. in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The suit — which is still pending and is anticipated to settle in September 2011 — was defended by attorneys from Skadden Arps (Raoul Kennedy and Richard Zurmoski).

Despite their respective roles as plaintiffs’ counsel and defendants’ counsel in Fogel v. Farmers, Girardi & Keese and Skadden Arps entered into an agreement by which Skadden Arps and partner Thomas Nolan would represent Girardi & Keese and Thomas Girardi before the Ninth Circuit in the matter of In re Girardi following the Ninth Circuit’s issuance of an order to show cause why Girardi & Keese, Engstrom Lipscomb & Lack, Thomas Girardi, and Walter Lack should not be suspended, disbarred, or otherwise sanctioned as a result of the massive fraud which took place in litigation pursued by them against Dole Food Company.

On July 13, 2010, the Ninth Circuit issued an order suspending Walter Lack for a period of six months and reprimanding Girardi; the order also imposed almost $500,000 in monetary sanctions against the two attorneys.

On July 14 2010, in an attempt to conceal their attorney-client relationship, Skadden Arps and Thomas Nolan filed a motion with the Ninth Circuit asking for their names to be redacted from the published opinion.

Skadden Arps and its clients were in a rush to remove their names from the Ninth Circuit’s published decision in hopes of further hiding from the public  the existence of its relationship with Girardi & Keese, see above.  Below is yet another sample of a  letter/objection alluding to the improper relationhip between Skadden Arps and Girardi & Keese.

On April 28, 2011, after Zurich Financial Group and Farmers Group, Inc. realized that a complaint had been filed with the State Bar of California alleging ethical violations, attorneys for both Zurich and Farmers approached the Los Angeles County Superior Court judge overseeing the Fogel matter (Judge William Highberger), seeking and obtaining an ex parte order modifying the settlement agreement, with little or no opposition from the plaintiff class. (Thomas Girardi, Walter Lack, as well as several attorneys form the state of Texas)

Additionally, per the ex-parte order, the class was notified that once the court approves the settlement, class members will be prohibiting from alleging in the future that they were not adequately represented by their attorneys due to the prior attorney client relationship between Girardi & Keese and Skadden Arps.

A substantial factor leading to the State Bar of California’s ethical and moral collapse allowing Thomas Girardi, Skadden Arps, and others to operate with impunity was provided courtesy of individuals who fall into two categories: minorities and/or close political allies from

Shockingly, and based on the ex parte papers submitted by Zurich and Farmers which were, presumably (and predictably), unopposed by class counsel (because any opposition would expose their own misconduct), the Court issued an order allowing the modification of a notice to the class by which the members would be informed of the attorney-client relationship between Skadden Arps and Girardi & Keese. The order also, shockingly, stated that members of the class would be prohibited in the future from asserting that they were not adequately represented by class counsel due to the Skadden-Girardi relationship.

CRIMINAL CONCPIRACY TO INJURE AND SILENCE YR

In a shocking turn of events, YR was earlier this year served with a search warrant while at home. Six investigators from the Yolo County District Attorney’s office (some of them armed) arrived at on February 23, 2012, searched the premises, and confiscated two computers and documents relating to, among others, Thomas Girardi, Alec Chang of Skadden Arps, including all materials involving Fogel vs. Farmers.

State Bar of California Board of Governors (presumably, State Bar of California Executive Director Joe Dunn of Voice of OC, Alec Chang of Skadden Arps, and others  have presented claims to the Yolo County District Attorney’s Jeff Reisig and Michael Cabral to file criminal charges against YR, for among other things, alleged violations of Business and Professions Code section 6043.5, on the purported basis that the ethics complaint against Raoul Kennedy, Tom Nolan, Thomas Girardi, and Walter Lack were unfounded and constituted criminal conduct.  (See ethics complaint concerning the Fogel v. Farmers Group HERE.

Good Morning.

My name is Leslie Stevenson, I am here today to provide information about one of the individuals who is requesting that his gamblinglicense be renewed. The man’s name is Mike Roos, and this information also concerns the gamblinglicense acquired by his sister Melissa Roos Walker. l am also here to request your assistance in verifyingan ongoing fraud. in short, Mike Roos has used Commerce Casino as an alibi to commit fraud and Yembezzlement on myself and my twin sister.First some background:I originally met Mike Roos in 1982 at my place of employment at Traweek Securities lnc. and later co-invested with him and my twin-sister in Sacramento Real estate among others.

Meeting Mike Roos andtrusting him has been the worst mistake of my life. it ultimately resulted in significant assets beingembezzled from myself and my twin sister Lorna via fraudulent 1031 starker exchange agreementscreated and orchestrated by Mike Roos and his late mother, Malissa Roos. My twin-sister and l have justlearned that these exchange agreements were used to launder away fraudulent undisclosed loans thatMike Roos put on our real estate properties without our knowledge and or consent ( Exhibit “A”$123,582.26 undisclosed promissory note 5&5 construction on our home in Playa Del Rey recorded withdeed June 5“, 1984 from 1983 as noted on deed from commonwealth land title 83-10076-O7 and$128,050. undisclosed Loan with PHH US Mortgage Corp on Sacramento property that was launderedaway via phony starker1031 exchange agreement at time of sale on August 13″‘, 1990 from Don Levinto Charles Cunningham from time of purchase on July,3rd 1985) .

My twin sister and l were lead tobelieve that the proceeds from sale on our realestate was invested in a new family home. However, allevidence now reveals that this did not happen. My twin- sister and I have never received a dime on anyof our real estate investments and have never received any thing in return on these 1031 exchangeseither. Yet that is not the worst of it. My sister was married to this man for over 11 years and had twochildren with him. I actually lived with my twin-sister and her husband, Mike Roos along with both oftheirtwo daughter’s from 1995 to 1999 believing l was an owner ofthe new home on Kenilworth.During those years, my twin-sister, her daughter’s Caroline and Catherine, and l were all physicallyabused and terrorized by Mike Roos. The crazy man photo of Mike Roos Exhibit ”B”. Many policereports exist on the abuse especially the child abuse and it ultimately resulted in Mike Roos cutting adeal with the DA in year 2004, to give up complete custody of his children on 2172004 to my twinsister and l see Exhibit “C”. This deal prevented any prosecution and incarceration of Mike Roos on hisPage 2most recent child abuse incident involving Catherine his youngest daughter.

Mike Roos needed agambling license around this time in 2004 for himself and his sister to transfer the concealedCommerce Casino card club investment via an undisclosed concealed sham trust that he failed todisclose during his marriage to my twin sister and also failed to disclose in their divorce proceedings aswell. in addition, Mike Roos had an arrears case opened with the DA at this time on both child andspousal support in the amount of $924,300+ and had a new arrears case on current support not paid inthe amount of $20,540 at the court house before Judge Black. My twin-sister has never received any ofthe arrearages owed by Mike Roos from 1994 to 2004 in the amount of $924,300 + as referred to in theletter from the attorney general, Bill Lockyer dated back in July 30m, 2003. The arrears issue raised wasresolved by the issuance of a fraudulent minute order on 4-2-2004. The arrearages owed was wipedclean by the DA, Judge Black, and the Department of Child Support Services audit dept by this fraudulentminute order issued on 4-2-2004 Exhibit “D”.

Mike Roos got the clearance he needed from theattorney general, Bill Lockyer and was issued a gambling license on August 4th, 2004 when he hadcommitted fraud, perjury, child abuse, and still owed arrears in excess of 1 million dollars on this day.Mike Roos embezzled all of our separate property assets by securing a fraudulent divorce judgment onJune 4″‘, 2004 whereby he failed to disclose many assets, income, and key material facts that is currentlybeing challenged in Superior Court case BD 202859 next hearing date, April 27″‘, 2011. in addition,Mike Roos was able to embezzle additional assets (insurance settlement and the Commerce Casinoinvestment) using a fraudulent undisclosed concealed sham trust that my twin sister and l discoveredexisted after their divorce was final which is now being challenged in the Superior Court on caseBD202859 on the next court date of April 27”‘, 2011.

Additionally, my twin sister has just discoveredhow Mike Roos got the arrearages case at the DA closed back in 2004 behind her back without herknowledge and or consent which is being heard in the Superior court oniAprilW11t’_‘, 2011. TheDepartment of child Support Services and the DA have been incredibility cruel to my twin sister as they 7 Wknow better and they knew Mike Roos never made any payments on the outstanding arrearages cases.Both the DA and the DCSS have made it virtually impossible for my twin sister to get the evidenceneeded to prove this fraud and an embezzlement occurred on her arrears case BD202859 in theamount of $924,300 +because they have kept concealed all records and any information on her casefrom my twin sister. We now know Mike Roos took this minute order from April 2, 2004 that had to dowith a new arrears case owed on current support not being paid whereby it stated he only owed$20,504 on 3-31-2004 in arrears. The amount of $20,504 in arrears owed was on top of the amountowed in excess of $924,300 plus interest at the DA. Because of the devious and most fraudulent brilliantwording used on this minute order from 4-2-2004, Mike Roos was allowed to present this to the DA andget his arrears case closed at any time when he was in arrears in direct violation of the law as he neverpaid his court ordered support to my twin sister. The DA knows Mike Roos is currently $924,300+ inarrears on child support plus interest on this arrearages case going back to non- payment on order from1994 and that he is currently in arrears for an additional $80,000 in false credits received from auditdepartment at the Department of Child Support Services. The DA and the department of child supportservices have done nothing for my twin sister, who is legally disabled and or for her daughter’s.

TheDepartment of Child Support Services issued interest checks on arrears to my twin sister. Then, DCSSaudit department maliciously granted credit as support paid for Mike Roos on these previously issuedinterest checks on arrears owed in their latest audit from Feb 2010 whereby my twin sister has nowPage 3been fraudulently embezzled out of another $80,000 in support payments, in addition to the $924,300 +never paid by Mike Roos from 1994 order that has never been collected and or enforced by the DA indirect violation of the law Exhibit “E”. Mike Roos has just unlawfully taken off his disabled daughter,Caroline Roos from the support order with the Department of child support services over a year ago onher 18th birth date in direct violation of the law Exhibit “F”. Mike Roos has refused to pay any medicalexpenses, dental expenses, and or education expenses for his daughters. This is also directly contrary toa July 30 2003 letter Exhibit “G” — division of gambling control where Mike Roos previously claimed tohave set up college funds for his two daughters to receive clearance from the attorney generalpreviously. See letter from Justice Department, attorney general, Bill Lockyer regarding the originalgambling license application made by Mike Roos, this letter dated July 30“‘, 2003 is clearly requestingmore information bank statements on the golden State scholarship fund for years 2001 and 2002 for histwo daughters. My twin- sister has never received any information on these investments 1814 and or1815 Exhibit “G” as they were never disclosed by Mike Roos on his final financial declaration in thedivorce.

Mike Roos has never paid any money towards any educational costs for his two youngestdaughters and any representation that he has is a lie. in addition, this letter refers to a statement onLorna Roos’ condition, what condition see Exhibit ”G”? There appears to have been an investigation intoLorna Roos’ condition yet this letter does not state what the condition is although Mike Roos clearlyknows what he is putting forth to the attorney general as they are requesting alternate contacts fromMike Roos with regards to my twin sister’s condition. My twin sister and I have had our reputationsruined by Mike Roos calling us both crazy behind our backs. Mike Roos has worked at manipulatingrecords to get any investigation on himself closed without my twin sister’s and I knowledge and orparticipation because we are in the know about some of his criminal behavior. The most distributingpart of this letter is that the Attorney General is allowing Mike Roos to put forth information about mytwin sister when Mike Roos had no legal right to my twin sister’s records, conditions, and or his ownchildren. lam requesting today a copy ofall the records in this file be sent to my twin sisterimmediately that was supplied to the attorney general by Mike Roos on behalf of my twin- sister. By theway this is not the first time that Mike Roos has manipulated doctor’s records regarding my twin sister.My twin sister was actually diagnosed with cancer in April 1999 and almost lost her leg because MikeRoos failed to tell my twin sister that she had cancer. It was only after a tumor grew larger and washurting my twin— sister that she went back to the doctor. The doctor claimed to have called the houseand spoke with Mike Roos back in November 1998 giving him the cancer results and the surgeon’sname that my sister was to go see for further treatment regarding this tumor. The doctor’s recordsshowed notes to this effect but claimed they called me. My twin sister and l were never told by MikeRoos that he had spoken to the doctor and or that the doctor called the house. This is very welldocumented in case file BD 202859 at the Superior Court in Los Angeles.Also, in the letter from the attorney general, Bill Lockyer has reported Mike Roos schedule C income fortax year 2001 is $943,902 see Exhibit “G”. This is contrary to what Mike Roos submitted to the court asstated he was earning only $12,000 a month in his trial brief filed on 8-2-2000 in the divorce for thissame time period Exhibit “H”. Mike Roos has lied to the court about his earned income which hasaffected all the support orders as the support orders are not computed using actual tax returns andwere not made retroactive to date of filings.

Just this past week the DA, Deputy Childs called my twin—Page 4sister, Lorna Roos on tuesday 3—15-2011 approx time 4:50 pm phone registered (323) 729-6022 DeputyChildes informed my twin—sister to call him back at (323) 981-5943 regarding arrears complaint.lVlr. Childes told my twin sister there was a problem/ complaint with the audit done in Feb 2010apparently it appears to be a fraudulent audit as the previously issued interest checks received reveal itto be fraud. Deputy Childes wanted to know what other evidence existed and or witnesses. He wantedmy twin sister to tell him everything she knew. The minute my twin sister mentioned the support orderswere not made retroactive to date of filing and were on fictitious income numbers, testimony given byMike Roos’ CPA, Rick Marcus not actual tax returns, and the supposed income given for tax years 2007and 2008 were not verified by the lRS.

Then, Mr. Childes made it perfectly clear to my twin sister, if shewas going to challenge the tax returns that the DA managed to collect and or apparently accepted onbehalf of Respondent, Mike Roos to close their file (unbeknownst to Lorna Roos without herparticipation) Then, Deputy Childs would refuse to help her in collecting the arrearages owed in excessof $924,300. in addition, Mr. Childes wanted to know who was representing my twin sister if she had anattorney. Mr. Childes let my twin sister know a prior investigation was closed based on a fraudulentminute order, fraudulent audit, and that there was additional problems with tax returns submitted byRespondent, Mike Roos for years 2007 and 2008.

Deputy Childs stated he was waiting on Child andfamily Support Services to deliver records to them to open a criminal investigation in a few days whichwould be after this hearing occurred for the gambling licenses. it was just discovered that Mike Roos’new wife, Tracey B. Allen and his oldest daughter’s new husband, Sam H. Grayeli have filed amended taxreturns on both their state and federal tax returns for years 2007 and 2008 whereby Sam H. Grayeli hasin excess of $50,000 in tax liens for years 2004 to 2008 see Exhibit “I” and Tracey B. Allen has in excessof $270,000 tax liens for years 2007 and 2008 see Exhibit “J”. This just so happens to be same yearsthat Mike Roos’ CPA, Rick Marcus testified to income on behalf of Mike Roos for the higher supportorder hearing held on April 1“, 2008. It appears that amended tax returns for Tracey Allen and SamuelGrayeli were filed to report additional income and that they are directly related to the amended taxreturns that were given to the DA for Mike Roos whereby he reports less income to match the numbersgiven in testimony by Mike Roos’ CPA Rick Marcus on April 1“, 2008.Most importantly, Mike Roos fraudulently acquired ownership to his current investment in CommerceCasino at the time he was a politician in 1983 and was legally barred from such ownership. Thisoccurred in fraudulent transactions where he had others act as shills and stooges, largely his father andmother, whereby he owned and controlled ownership while preventing his name from occurring on theshareholder records. A key legal document that Mike Roos used to ultimately acquire direct ownershipand two gambling licenses is a fraudulently created Trust see Exhibit “K”. Mike Roos created thefraudulent Roos Family Living Trust in the name of his parents, and used this document to commit fraudon the Gambling Board Commission and acquire a Gambling License for himself and his sister Melissa Roos Walker.

Mike Roos never disclosed this trust during any of the divorce proceedings because theTrust is fraudulent as it was created on June 13“, 1996 way after the death of his father on November17, 1989 and this document was fraudulently backdated to appear to have been created a few monthsprior to his father’s death. His father died with no assets, no probate, and importantly no will see__Lf/Page 5Exhibit “L”. This probate evidence reveals that no trust existed at the time of his death, as there is nowill designating a trustee to manage any trust. Probate law is quite clear on this matter. No will… …noTrust exists period. [I am presenting these fraudulent trust documents and probate records asevidence] In addition, Mike Roos stated in a deposition during divorce proceedings that he gave JohnKarns, his friend a $25,000 loan from community funds in May 1996 Exhibit “M”. This is at the exactsame time that Mike Roos mother’s will and fraudulent undisclosed sham trust was created by thislawyer, John Karns on 6-13-1996 on behalf of Mike Roos’ mother as evidenced by page 7 of Mike Roos’mother, Malissa Williamson Roos will established earlier this day ”the Roos Family Living Trust seeExhibit “K””. Mike Roos never showed any proof that the $25,000 was ever repaid to the communityestate either because it was a bill for the fraudulent creation of the trust and mother’s will dated June13*“, 1996.lam personally requesting your assistance on one very important matter. This has to do with $531, 561of assets that Mike Roos embezzled from me and my twin sister where he has fraudulently used Commerce Casino as his alibi.

He has fraudulently stated to the court that Commerce Casino was thesource of a $531, 561 that was paid into a bank account owned and controlled by Mike Roos and hismother at Wells Fargo Bank see Exhibit “N”. The date that this occurred was April 4th 1996, and MikeRoos has represented to the Court that this was a ”retained earnings check” paid to his mother byCommerce Casino in the form of a $531,561 cashiers’ check from Imperial Bank. i need your assistancein proving that this representation is a fraud, as it will allow me to recover some of my embezzledassets. There is one way to prove this to be a lie. One must simply apply the same advice advocated bydeep throat from Watergate to uncover the scandal — ’’follow the money”. You must get the actual bankaccount records of the Commerce Casino bank account for the month April of 1996, including any suchaccount held at Imperial Bank. To-date Mike Roos has successfully prevented me and my twin sisterfrom gaining access to these records by subpoena. He has successfully squashed all subpoenas thathave been filed to get these bank account records as he knows that his fraud will be revealed by theunderlying bank account records. in a desperate attempt to prevent these bank account records fromcoming to light, Mike Roos has fraudulently manufactured an alternative document to present to thecourt, and he presented it to the Court on November 8″‘, 2000. This document is a complete fraud andit is written on Commerce Casino letterhead. The false statements in it are.supposedly signed by anauthorized signatory of Commerce Casino a MS Debbie Ady, corporate secretary see Exhibit ‘’0′’.

I am delivering this letter to you that is dated July 26th 2000. It is a letter that is on Commerce Casinoletterhead and contains false representations and includes an attachment of a copy of a cashiers’ checkthat is being fraudulently represented as a real check originating from Commerce Casino. Underlyingbank account records will reveal that this copy has been fraudulently manufactured out of thin-air tosupport this fraud, and that Commerce Casino is not the source of this check. I need you to get theBanking Records of the imperial Bank – bank account for April 1996, as this bank account will notsupport this fraudulently manufactured evidence. This letter, its statements, and the bogus copy of acheck are all part of an elaborate con, executed by Mike Roos to perpetrate a fraud on the Court. Theunderlying bank account records will convincingly reveal Mike Roos to be a fraud and an embezzler. Iwill read this letter on Commerce Casino letterhead to you,now — [stop and read it — then describe thecheck]. 1 need your help on this matter and i am asking for your assistance. l am asking you toPage 6investigate this letter, the copy ofthe check, and the Banking Records of Commerce Casino Bank forthisperiod.

I am personally asking you to deliver the underlying Banking Records to me for this period. It isimportant evidence to me in recovering my embezzled assets from a car accident settlement for abroken neck injury. Once you have verified that the representations presented to the Court by MikeRoos, on the Commerce Casino letterhead (letter dated July 26th 2000) are lies and a fraud, I am askingthat you notify the Superior Court of Los Angeles case if BD202859, and to also notify the JusticeDepartment. Mike Roos should be prosecuted and jailed for this fraud and embezzlement of insurancemoney.In closing, I would like to simply state that for the record that I amlictzle/Ii)/ering four packages ofinformation and evidence that is to be distributed to each of the three commissioners. This evidenceconsists of 98 pages. I would also like to state that there is much more to this fraud and embezzlementcommitted by Mike Roos than can be communicated in this hearing today. I want to state that theCommerce Casino investment now held by Malissa Roos Walker is believed to have been paid for byassets that were embezzled from me and my twin sister, and that Mike Roos orchestrated thisembezzlement with the collusion of his deceased mother.

I can provide considerably more evidence offraudulent loans that were used by Mike Roos to pay for the Commerce Casino assets and other silentcard-club assets. One thing is certain, the parents of Mike Roos did not ever posses the financial meansto make the investment in Commerce Casino, and all attempts by Mike Roos to portray them as “rich” isalso a complete fraud. Mike Roos’ mother, Malissa Williamson Roos died with less than $20,000 goingthrough her probate estate. See Exhibit ”P”. This concocted story underpins his acquisition of theinvestment in Commerce Casino and there is zero evidence to support the hollow claim by Mike Roos.There is also reason to believe that two shooting deaths that occurred within the last year may be linkedto matters connected to Commerce Casino and embezzled assets. One is the shooting death of myformer boss Dick Traweek on date 10-26-2009, the other is the shooting death of attorney, Jeffrey Tidus12- 11- 2009, whose corporate client was Tokai Bank. Mike Roos claimed to have deposited $100,000 ofthe $531,561 into a Tokai bank account and my twin sister has been denied all discovery to this bankaccount at Tokai as well. Both murders remain unsolved. Mike Roos has successfully squashedsubpoenas issued in the discovery process to access this important third party evidence. In summary,these allegations and evidence that I am presenting to you should be properly investigated. In order todo your job properly there should be no rush to approve these two parties – Michael Y. Roos and MelissaRoos Walker for Gambling Licenses until these allegations and evidence is fully investigated.In addition to the two shooting deaths mentioned above there is also the matter in the mysterious sudden death of my close friend and business associate, Jocelyn Rosa. She died in Jan 1993 at the age ofonly 42 and she was also involved in the funding of Bicycle Club Casino back in 1983 when she workedfor Dick Traweek. Jody Rosa was a top sales person at Traweek Investments along with my twin- sisterand I. We were very close friends having worked together for over 6 years on many real estate limitedpartnership investments at Traweek Investments. Jody Rosa was involved in relationships with many ofthe key people investors in Bicycle Casino which included Coyne of the LCP partnership ( her client),attorney Stephen Miller (her boyfriend that she was madly in love with at that time), Dick Traweek (herPage 7boss), Mike Roos (my twin sister’s boyfriend at that time) and how they all acquired ownership staelrs inthese casino investments. Her sudden death while purported to be the result of botchalism poisoning, itstill remains highly suspicious to those who know her well, and few believe that her death wasaccidental.

One more thing, in regards to pursuing the banking records of Commerce Casino bank and the$531,561 cashiers’ check please do not be surprised if powerful influences are exerted by Thomas V.Girardi a casino shareholder, my former lawyer, and close associate of Mike Roos to prevent thesebanking records from being revealed. it is believed that he is intimately tied to the real source of the $531,561 in funds that is attempted to be explained by using Commerce Casino as the alibi one thing iscertain that Mike Roos did not act alone and is currently being aided by others in preventing this fraudand embezzlement from being revealed. There are inconsistent facts regarding a hand written note by Mike Roos’ mother that says the $531, 561 is tax free(see Exhibit ” Q”) whereby this is very consistentwith a possible insurance settlement check as previously alleged by my twin sister and I but notconsistent with a sub chapter 5 corporation dividend check.

The $531,561 was a car accidentsettlement check paid out by Thomas Girardi on my car accident case from 1994 whereby l was awarded$500,000 plus medical of $31,561 for a broken neck making the check tax free for me. However, the tax free status would not apply to the California Commerce Casino at this time either as the club was a Sub Chapter S Corporation whereby all gains and losses pass to the shareholders directly making anydividend check paid taxable not tax free. We suspect the fraudulent letter from Commerce Casino states the cashier’s check is a retained earnings to be consistent with the insurance check being tax-free status.I am making myself available to you in your effort to uncover the truth. You job here is to uncover thetruth, and the truth reveals Mike Roos to be a con man, a fraud, and an embezzler.

Thank you in advance for investigating the allegations and evidence that I am presenting to you, and foryour help in my personal requests to you. We are both seeking independent third party evidence thatreveals the truth. Any assistance that you could provide back to me would be greatly appreciated.lam now available to answer any questions that you may have.

Whether Curry was apologizing to the audience or her bosses, or both, is unclear. But fairly or not, she has been pegged as the cause of NBC’s ratings woes. Curry was tapped to replace Meredith Vieira as Matt Lauer‘s co-anchor a year ago and almost immediately ABC’s“Good Morning America” started to close the ratings gap.

The Alliance of California Judges yesterday criticized the way the Administrative Office of the Courts handles requests for information, saying the alliance is being discriminated against.

Judicial branch leaders, the alliance said in an email blast, have “now confirmed” that the AOC, and the Judicial Council of California “have implemented a policy treating information requests from the Alliance differently from those of others.”

The email cited a Courthouse News Service story entitled “Battle of Information in Judiciary.” The article dealt with the complaint, previously made by the alliance, that instead of dealing promptly with requests for information, the AOC funnels them to Third District Court of Appeal Justice Harry Hull, who insists that requests be sent to him by “snail” mail, and in responding in the same manner.

BACKGROUND:

1.  On September 1, 2011,  according to sources seeking anonymity, YR had sent Voice of OC’s Norberto Santana and David Washburn a request to make available for inspection Voice of OC’s tax return as allowed by  rules and regulation issued by the IRS.

The request was absolutely necessary, as the documents requested were otherwise unavailable on sites such as guidestar.org or foundationcenter.org.

According to these sources, YR wrote:

Re: Request for Production of IRS Form 990, Form 990 Schedule A, Form 1023 to Voice of OC and Orange County’s Nonprofit Investigative News Agency

Dear Mr. Santana and Mr. Washburn:

Consistent with U.S.Internal Revenue Service Regulations, please consider this communication a formal request to the “Voice of OC” and the “Orange County Nonprofit Investigative News Agency” to produce their IRS Form 990, Form 990 Schedule A, as well  Form 1023.  This request is for all documents submitted to the IRS within the past three years, which generally means the three most recent returns.

Said regulations require that these documents be produced within 30 days.  The Voice of OC and Orange County’s Nonprofit Investigative News Agency are entitled to charge reasonable costs for any copying and mailing costs incurred in relation to this request.  Alternatively, you can email the documents to me as PDF attachments.  I prefer the latter method.  However, if for some reason, you prefer to copy and mail the documents, please send them to the following address:

In that California State Bar Executive-Director Senator Joseph Dunn established the Voice of OC, and as I conduct my business in the open, several individuals associated with the State Bar are also cc:d on this list.  I ask that you please ignore the CC list for any other purpose.

I also ask that you draw no conclusion or develop any concern from the mere fact that this request is being made about you, the Voice of OC, Senator Dunn, or any other individual or entity.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2.    Voice of OC ignored the above request, and around December of 2011, YR sumitted a formal complanit to the IRS.  See below:

Re: A referral for noncompliance with tax laws against exempt organization “Orange County’s Nonprofit Investigative News Agency” (dba “Voice of OC”):

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

In lieu of using IRS Form 13909 (Tax-Exempt Organization Referral Form), please consider this communication a formal complaint (referral) against an Orange County, California not-for-profit entity known as “Orange County Nonprofit Investigative News Agency,” which operates an online publication under the name “Voice of OC” (located at http://www.voiceofoc.org).

On September 1, 2011, Orange County’s Nonprofit Investigative News Agency and Voice of OC (collectively, “Voice of OC”) were duly served with a request for production of IRS Form 990, Form 990 Schedule A, and Form 1023. (See Exhibit 1.) To date, this request to produce Voice of OC’s tax returns has been ignored, despite the clear mandate by the Internal Revenue Service to fully comply with such requests within 30 days. As such, reluctantly, the undersigned makes this referral.

INTRODUCTION OF ACTORS:

1. Mr. Joe Dunn in his role as the creator of online publication “Voice of OC” – Orange County’s Nonprofit Investigative News Agency.

4. Mr. Joe Dunn in his role as a politician and business partner of Martha Escutia, who was involved in matters relating to utility companies operating in California.

5. Ms. Gwen Moore – a former Assembly member in the California legislature. Ms. Moore has “clout” over the CPUC and utility companies. Ms. Moore presently serves as a member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors; she has previously been the subject of an FBI sting operation.

6. Mr. Geoffrey Brown – a former commissioner with the CPUC and former board member of the California Bar Foundation.

Four Loyola Law School alumni are poised to play pivotal roles in the impending litigation involving economic-loss, personal-injury and wrongful-death claims from reported instances of unintended acceleration in certain Toyota cars. On the defense side, Toyota recently hired Tom Nolan ’75 to serve as lead counsel in economic-loss cases. Arguing on behalf of the consumers will be three alumni: Tom Girardi ’64, Tony Rackauckas ’71 and Mark P. Robinson, Jr. ’71. Nolan, of Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, will help navigate the economic-loss cases in federal and state court. He represented MGA Entertainment in its high-profile litigation with Mattel over copyright infringement in the Bratz line of dolls. MGA was ultimately awarded $309 million in damages and fees. Nolan’s economic-loss case in front of Los Angele County Superior Court Judge Anthony J. Mohr is set to begin in September 2012. Loyola’s Civil Justice Program honored Nolan as a Champion of Justice in 2007.

Robinson, a partner with Robinson Calcagnie Robinson Shapiro Davis, Inc. in Newport Beach, CA, was named a co-lead plaintiffs’ counsel in the portion of the class-action case accusing the carmaker of negligence causing wrongful death and injuries when U.S. District Judge James Selna consolidated claims in May 2010. Robinson is no stranger to auto-defect litigation. He litigated the landmark 1978 Ford Pinto fire case that ushered in the modern era of auto-defect litigation. “The time has now come to focus on the victims, the people who have experienced sudden unintended litigation,” Robinson told the Associated Press.

Rackaukas, who has been the Orange County district attorney since 1998, has pursued consumer causes against large corporations as the county’s top prosecutor. Early in his career, he prosecuted large oil companies for contaminating drinking water. “The job of the D.A., in my view, is to do everything that I can to enhance the safety of the community and enhance the community’s feeling that they’re as safe as we can help them be,” he has said. Girard, of Girardi | Keese, has litigating a wide variety of product-liability cases. He obtained a $4.85 billion settlement in litigation against Merck pharmaceutical company for personal injuries suffered by consumers who used Vioxx medication. Loyola’s Civil Justice Program honored Girardi as a Champion of Justice in 2005 and bestowed the same honor on Robinson in 2007.
