Last edited Mon Feb 17, 2014, 01:25 PM - Edit history (3)
You can jump to the comments below and look at all the videos and newspaper links of comment 13, 14, 15 etc. What you will see is that ALL of those cases are linked to a common element (PAUL TRAUB) and he is one of Mitt Romney's secret attorneys. One of the very reasons Romney lied during the election (actually committed Perjury to America) about when Romney was CEO of Bain Capital.
The evidence is overwhelming, profuse and undeniable (mostly court docket records and fed archives); but Romney's Bain owns Clear Channel (800 stations with 100 million listeners through the likes of Rush Lame'Blah). On top of that, Bain owns Toys R Us, Burlington Coat Factory, FAO Schwartz, Dunkin Donuts, the Celtics (Josh Bechenstein and Romney own a piece), Kay Bee, Stage Stores and eToys - with a BILLION a year in advertising dollars. So they clamp the media down - unless you want to lose ad revenue.
All that is needed - for ALL Hell to break lose - is just one (1) main stream media person dares to ask Mitt Romney about the eToys fraud case; and the fact that he was still CEO of Bain Capital when it transpired. Our lawsuit against he and his gang will be in its (technical) 120 days - on the morrow. Picture this question and then try to picture the answer;
So, Governor Romney -
---------is there any validity to the Racketeering lawsuit against you in Los Angeles?
This guy Laser Haas has made many allegations against you -
-----------------------including the serious allegation that you possessed a U.S. Attorney!
That's the type of question a "true" journalist would ask. You know, the days when everyone was scared to hear the words "Mike Wallace's office called; and they want to set up an interview". CEO's like Blankfein never jumped for joy when those calls came. Meanwhile Mitt Romney and his cronies are continuously doing (illegal) Billions of Dollars - "Bust Out" - of entities like The Learning Company, Stage Stores, Kay Bee and eToys. They don't (actually CAN'T) want to answer questions about those cases. So they are in a panic on what to do. They are OPENLY Breaking the Law - in order to rush and shut down the eToys case (see Notice of Motion to Shut Down here - the Motion {detailing many crimes itself} here and COS {certificate of service that also names yours truly} here).
They CAN"T Settle and Close eToys case (legally); because they are all connected illegally (Conflict of Interest).
(They've CONFESSED; but judge believed Romney would become POTUS and refused to punish them)
(see Wall Street Journal on Traub's confession of Barry Gold (but NOTE there's NO details about Bain/Romney/Kay Bee links).
(Also See March 2013 New York Times on Goldman Sachs eToys Fraud - here)
AND
Rolling Stone September 2012 cover story "Greed and Debt" by Matt Taibbi - here).
(NOTE: I'm one of the sources of all these stories and I've been begging Taibbi to tie them all together).
Its wonderful to see "cause & effect". This insignificant person has Romney and his gang on the run. Previously, (many times), my emails, notes and various campaigns have compelled Mitt Romney's Racketeering Gang (Paul Traub, Barry Gold, Colm Connolly, Michael Glazer, Greg Werkheiser, Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital) - to panic and adjust; because they ARE guilty! They have - in fact - broken dozens of State and Federal Felony statutes. And I'm about to nail their arses to the wall. Including the fact that the crooks reduced the prices of eToys items to Bain Capital/Kay Bee (without informing anyone they work with Bain/Kay Bee). MNAT, Traub and Barry Gold were appointed by the court to represent eToys and their Creditors.
They are ALL ---- BETRAYING Their Clients --- the No.1 Lawyer NO NO!
[br]
[br]
What is most important (as the picture above details) is the fact that MNAT {Werkheiser and Connolly}, Paul Traub and Barry Gold; have all worked for Romney before the eToys case transpired. They were required by Law to disclose this fact; because eToys was sold by Barry Gold, Paul Traub and MNAT {Werkheiser/Connolly} to Bain Capital/Kay Bee. Failing to disclose their direct links is a CRIME; which was made into manifold organized crime when they lied, bribed, obstruction, Intimidated Victim/Witnesses and perpetrated massive frauds upon the court to cover it all up). Then - such was compound by the federal corruption of Colm Connolly becoming U.S. Attorney.
Because the inflexible and immortal sword of truth is an amazing thing - Romey's Gang is Scared;
and - as anyone case see - my Racketeering case continues (Central Dist. Los Angeles 2:13-cv-7738).
[br]
[br][hr][br]
Sued Romney & Groups for Racketeering - and the case continues.
Many of Romney's stalwarts were full of hubris and such, bragging that the Federal Court (a judge appointed by Reagan - and on the bench for 24 years) - would shut the case down - Instantly. As a matter of fact - they believe the fix was in and that the clerk would refuse to even allow me to submit the case into the courts docket (because I told them in advance I was doing it - to see if corruption would leap from DE to CA).
EEEAAAANNNTTTT! - The {criminal} geniuses were Wrong!
As you can see by the picture above (provided by Bankruptcy Misconduct dot com - here), the case was prepared, docketed and given a case number. Then His Honor (Stephen V. Wilson) issued a New Case Order (here). It is an issue of how Conflicts of Interest turned into organized crimes; and Romney benefiting from same.
[br][hr][br]
What happened is, Romney claims to be "retroactively" retired from August 2001; back to February 1999 (see one story - here). This is because The Learning Company, Kay Bee, Stage Stores and eToys frauds began between February 1999 and August 2001.
Romney's Retroactive Retiring is to Hide Federal Corruption of DE U.S. Attorney Colm Connolly
Mitt's federal election campaign finance form was submitted Under Oath; and its is bogus. Of the many crimes he is trying to dodge being connected to - there's one WAY bigger than Christie-gate. That's the issue of federal corruption by Colm F Connolly. When Mitt "retroactively" resigned in August 2001; then Colm Connolly (one of his attorneys at law) was promoted to become the Delaware U.S. Attorney - who then refused to investigate and/or prosecute Romney, Bain, Goldman Sachs and their crooked counsels - for seven years. (See more about Colm Connolly at this orange realm Diary - here).
And that's Federal Corruption documented by public records!
(See Connolly's Resume - here and fact MNAT represents Bain - here).
[br][hr][br]
Paul Traub was partners with Fraudster Marc Dreier and Ponzi Schemer Tom Petters
A couple of months ago, Romney's stalwarts over-reacted. the court issued an Order denying one of my requests to have U.S. Marshals serve Romney etc., on December 18, 2013 (here). Then the corrupt parties within the Dept. of Justice "blinked" (showed they are scared) by responding with the following bogus letter (here). Though the DOJ "backdated" the letter, what is transpiring is obvious. They were expecting the court to shut down this "pro se" party who put forth a Federal Complaint that is more rant than a legal document. When the court responded that it read my Complaint - panic ensued. What they plan to do is use the DOJ's letter to inform the court that there is no case;
but yours truly didn't sue the DOJ - I sued Mitt Romney & his cohorts/cronies and partners (see stories here - here and here). (Served the parties this week. This is Bain's proof of service - here).
Now, once again (as they've done several times before) Romney's boys are in a panic. They know my brief (which was posted online) seeks the relief of being put back into the eToys head executive chair. Because of the frauds in The Learning Company, Kay Bee, Stage Stores (see Rolling Stone Matt Taibbi's "Greed and Debt" story - here) and eToys; Romney's gang simply can't have anyone look into what happened. Or many of them are going to jail; so they figure that
- having broken the law hundreds of times already - whats a few more?
[br]
PROOF that Michael Glazer (who is now CEO of Stage Stores) along with Paul Traub and Barry Gold worked for Romney's Stage Stores in 2000 (here - Paul Traub getting caught in lying to Stage Stores court and supplying Supplement Affidavit - here {see page 7 best} - and Barry Gold signing the Hiring Letter for Traub's law firm in Stage Stores - here {go to last page PDF pg 34}).
As Cedric the Entertainer said in the Clooney movie - I'm about to nail their ass!
--------------- Because ALL the PROOF is inside Public Court Docket Records - UNdeniable!

I really don't care (except for the homicides and federal corruption) - if any one of these guys go to prison. Even Romney (whom I believe Obama would have to pardon and/or commute - except of the homicides issues {if evidence arose he was knowing}).
But they have to be StOPPed from their busting out places by a Bankruptcy Ring of fraudsters.

Marc Dreier is a very sad case study, but I have no idea how his antics had anything to do with anything you're litigating over.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)Traub been punished in eToys (like he was supposed to be)
then the $100 million fraud in the Kay Bee case (see Glazer issues in Taibbi's "Greed and Debt"
Tom Petters Ponzi (Traub listed as "controller" of Petters Ponzi since 2005 - when he was CAUGHT in eToys)
and
Marc Dreier frauds
all of those - at the barest of minimums - had a chance to be reduced as to severity.
If you were a victim and knew about all this;
and the fact that the DOJ was protecting them.
I don't think you'd be so quick as to say - one thing has nothing to do with the other;
which is obviously NOT TRUE - because Paul Traub is involved in every one of them.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)It also mentions the fact that Traub was partners with fraudster Marc Dreier;
and

Surely one would never argue that Frank Nitti being connected to Capone
Means Nothing!
LiberalAndProud
(12,799 posts)Traub is ethically challenged, to state it mildly, and probably a greater villain. But I don't believe he had any hand in Dreier's Ponzi scheme. If you're pedaling guilt by association, I'm not buying.
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)You are hell bent to kick a victim when he is down and making up stuff to vindicate villains.
WOW.
Here it is at Wikipedia - Traub left -AFTER Marc Dreier was arrested
NOT before (as you claim).
Frauds - and got away with it totally 'Scot Free'; because of his ties to Romney
-- who owned the U.S. Attorney in Delaware (Colm Connolly).
This is NOT rocket science; and if you don't want to buy into his being a bad guy;
you've got a Bigger problem than you think!
Traub LIED in Stage Stores and Confessed it (in 2000)
Then he lied again to get into eToys in 2001.
Michael Glazer (whom Traub worked for with Romney at Stage Stores)
was the one who bought eToys with Romney
while Traub was PRETENDING to be working for the Creditors
and then Paul put in his own partner (Barry Gold - who also worked under Michael Glazer)
so they could sell (OUT) eToys (their court approved client)
to Romney/Bain/Kay Bee - their secret and ILLEGAL clients (Which they are still concealing to this very day).
Then (as Taibbi's "Greed and Debt" story details) Glazer paid himself $18 million and Bain $83 Million
MNAT (the attorney for Romney in THE Learning Co case) - is also the attorney in the Kay Bee case for Bain.
Traub then (without disclosing he was working with Romney/Bain/Glazer) asks to be prosecutor of
Romney - Bain - and Glazer
Capone's friend - Frank Nitti - asked to be the prosecutor.
Meanwhile - Traub gets "caught" red-handed in eToys and confesses.
While Paul is *(purportedly) being punished for fraud on the court;
he goes to the Kay Bee case and perpetrates more fraud on the court.
I tell the Director of the U.S. Trustee's about this and he emails me a promise to Fix it.
Here's the letter that I've put into the record - Under Penalty of Perjury - Many Times
http://petters-fraud.com/lawrence_friedman_email_laser_haas.pdf
THEN = Traub and MNAT pull their stunts in the Kay Bee case - with Traub seeking to be Prosecutor.
and - when I point this out to the DOJ Director - her RESIGNS
http://www.justice.gov/ust/eo/public_affairs/press/docs/friedman_resignation_4-27-05.htm
THEN Paul Traub (because we proved his TBF firm was Revoked by the State of NY)
becomes partners with Marc Dreier - who then goes and commits massive frauds.
By the way - Paul Traub WAS there when it all went down - and only resigned after Dreier got caught.
And you say - NOPE, not buying it, doesn't mean nothing - Traub was a Good Guy this time!
FOR REAL!

(7,805 posts)and Mr. Traub worked for Romney for decades (Barry Gold is Traub's personal partner).
This is the SEC's document proof of Romney owning Stage Stores with Jack Bush and Michael Glazer as Directors - (here)
Proof from the Houston Texas bankruptcy court that Barry Gold was Exec VP
(director's assistant) - at Stage Stores, under Jack Bush and Michael Glazer
who then signed the Hiring Letter of Paul Traub (see PDF page 35 at the very end) (HERE)
Traub got "caught" for lying under oath and had to supply a Supplemental Affidavit (Here).
If you'll look at page 7 - Traub goes on and on about "Upon information and belief" - blah blah blah
It doesn't matter what Traub did with Barry Gold and/or Jack Bush in those other case;
what's IMPORTANT - is that he had connections to them and Failed to Disclose such to the court.
That's a Conflict of Interest accomplished by Perjury.
Then - Michael Glazer, Paul Traub and Barry Gold move over to eToys;
but they PRETEND to be opponents of each other (lying under oath more than 33 times).
Here's the Wall Street Journal story on Traub's confessions
"eToys investors claim conflict at law firm"
MNAT is Romney/Bain law firm - lies to become eToys attorney (and DESTROYS books & records). Traub lies to become eToys Creditors attorney. Barry Gold lies and becomes the eToys President/CEO. THEN THEY SELL eToys (their court approved client) to Romney/Bain/Glazer/ KAY BEE = Almost for FREE.
That's massive public company fraud and bankruptcy fraud.
Whats amazing about it all - is that yours truly forced them all to confess (some) - MNAT admitted lying about Goldman Sachs and Paul Traub/Barry Gold confessed lying about knowing each other. Then - Traub even admits he deliberately let the lies stand before the court (this is the most heinous and egregious federal court fraud there is - Where there's NO STATUTE of LIMITATIONS - see In re Hazel Atlas Glass v Hartford Empire).
FEDERAL RECEIVER of Petters Ponzi Points out Traub was partner in many frauds
(See Star Tribune story - here) and ( Law360.com story - here).

(7,805 posts)Romney "retroactively" retired on August 2, 2001
AND
His law firm (www.MNAT.com) then arranged for one of their partners (Colm Connolly)
to become the United States Attorney in Delaware on August 2, 2001.
This is federal corruption;
because US Attorney Colm Connolly concealed his direct links to "targets" of a federal investigation!
gopiscrap
(23,766 posts)I sure hope they nail his ass. But I don't trust our judicial system!
laserhaas
(7,805 posts)Certainly, the "Deal"aware federal system of justice has no desire to apply the Code & Rule of Law to Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Romney & his gangs; but that doesn't make the whole nation bad.
People said the court would throw out my case from the beginning (one guy I claim is a troll at the orange realm {very important there} - said the Clerk of Court would not even allow me to submit it).
But they were all wrong.
This Judge was appointed by Reagan and has been on the bench for 24 years. He could have simply waited until Wed. (when all deadlines were passed) and then dismissed my case. That would have just cost me more money to file it again (and probably wind up with a different judge).
But this judge didn't wait and yelled at me (wisely).
In telling me where I'm wrong (verbose as most "pro se" parties are) - the court has actually guided me on how to correct myself. The very fact that the case has been open now - for 120 days - is almost a miracle in itself.
Until he gives me reason to think otherwise;
I'm going to give the Court and His Honor the respect such is regularly due.
Bias is as bias does - and (thus far) - there is none!

Romney didn't destroy all the evidence - here's an email proof of what he said on "xyz" date and time.
I believe that President Obama would have to let Romney off the hook;
which would immortalize Barack Obama even more.
But - chances are - Paul Traub and/or Barry Gold will take the fall;
and Romney will say he never knew.

that what matters is Right & Wrongs.
