You may have seen the recent fantastic investigative journalism by Matt Taibbi on how the SEC has destroyed case files and engaged in a series of Cover Ups and unethical practices in the Rolling Stone story by Taibbi "Is the SEC Covering UP Wall Street Crimes". At the time I was traveling from a Vegas trade show to Los Angeles and was "scoop'd" on reporting this story (which is near n dear to my heart) by fellow DailyKos'r "MinistryOfTruth". Ministry nailed it succinctly in his Diary title conclusion "--these crooks should go to jail" - where MinistryOfTruth stipulated that the SEC did the following;
Destroying documents illegally? Check
Killing investigations in return for a cushy job at the bank you were investigating? Check
17 years of criminal negligence and dereliction of duty. Check
Now we have additional chinks in the Above the Law armour/ shield of Goldman Sachs. So much so, that the CEO of Goldman Sachs found it necessary to hire an attorney specifically for himself. See this Breaking News today of Llyod Blankfein hiring a criminal defense attorney (Reid Weingarten) who represented the mega fraud case CEO of Worldcom and TYCO.
Los Angeles Times story (here) - where the Los Angeles Times story denotes the facts, including the one that Democratic Senator Carl Levin pointed out that in relation to a hearing in Washington DC;
"Goldman clearly misled their clients and they misled the Congress."
Goldman said then that "the testimony we gave was truthful and accurate."
The subcommittee's findings were passed along to the Department of Justice for further investigation. In addition, New York's district attorney was reportedly looking into the issues raised by the report and had subpoenaed Goldman.
According to the L A Times story -Weingarten did not return telephone calls for comment, as the story also points out attorney Weingarten's areas of expertise are;
The biography on his firm's website says Weingarten specializes in "cases involving public corruption, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, bank fraud, bribery, government procurement fraud, antitrust, healthcare fraud, and tax and securities fraud."
FULL Disclosure
We have been trying, like Markopolos did in Madoff, to get Goldman Sachs, BAIN, Wells Fargo and their attorneys ( Paul Traub and www.MNAT.com ) arrested for Collusion, Conspiracy, Intimidation of Victim/ Witness and Racketeering for a decade.
Everyone kept saying that the proof we have is too overwhelming and irrefutable, that someone isn't right - there is no way the Dept of Justice and/or SEC would not put a stop to this.
Synopsis of Goldman Sachs Fraud - easy to prove
- Goldman Sachs took a company public
- Illegally pumping the stock up and making the extra vanish
- Then, while managing Toby Lenk and clan - they tanked the company
- Goldman Sachs Delaware lawyers (www.MNAT.com) committed Perjury
- MNAT has confessed to supplication of 15 false affidavits - but says it is not Lying
- While not telling the Truth, Goldman Sachs received permission to Destroy Evidence
- Goldman Sachs attorney then hired their partners in crime (Traub) to prosecute the NY Supreme Court case of eToys (ebc1) v Goldman Sachs (#601805/2002)
- Then, Goldman Sachs refused to prosecute itself and the case closed
- Now the NY Supreme Court case is 100% Under SEAL
- When we reported this to the SEC, OIG, DOJ, FBI etc etc -- they told us to go the Delaware US Attorney - who refused to investigate the Case.
- Turns out, the Delaware US Attorney (Colm Connolly) was a partner with the law firm (MNAT) that represents Goldman Sachs.
- We reported that tidbit and the 100 + Crimes to the SoCal US Attorney.
- The Los Angeles US Attorney Shut Down the Public Corruption Unit and Threatened career Assistant United States Attorneys to Keep their mouths shut or ELSE!
Matt Taibbi details the Corruption of the SEC in Cover UPs
Well, now you can see the total details - independently - from Matt Taibbi on the who, what, where and why(s) of the massive case cover ups by the SEC. As Matt Taibbi has pointed out, for more than a decade, the SEC has been destroying case files.
Destruction of Case Files by DOJ/ SEC is a Crime
Prior to this discovery by the investigative journalism of Matt Taibbi, we had already witnessed one Dept of Justice person get arrested during our debacle. Scott Bloch, the Senior Official at the US Office of Special Counsel - the very office to handle whistleblower case files - had his office and home raided by the FBI for destroying files too. (See Wikipedia details (
here)).
Though Scott Bloch has plead guilty, when the judge refused to only allow Scott Bloch to do probation, Scott Bloch withdrew his guilty plea and a new deal is purportedly being worked out. But the fact of the matter remains, a public servant engaged in felonious acts of Destruction of Evidence and case files were destroyed. As MinistryOfTruth denoted in his Diary - "--
these crooks should go to jail"
Goldman Sachs engaged in Organized Crimes & Federal Court Corruption
What we can provide proof of, is a case so huge, so severe and so full of corruption and cover ups by the Dept of Justice and SEC, it would even blow Matt Taibbi's mind.
With the extensive heat and weakening of the protective (Above the Law) armour of Goldman Sachs. You have before you a story on Goldman Sachs - extraordinaire.
It includes SEC burying the case (have emails from many at SEC who failed to do anything) - with confessions of Goldman Sachs Delaware attorney failing to disclose a serious conflict of interest.
http://petters-fraud.com/...
Involves the deliberate (classic) pump-n-dump of a public company. Has overwhelming and irrefutable evidence of conspiracy and collusion such as Destroying Evidence while supplying erroneous affidavits to get permission to do so. http://petters-fraud.com/...
This evidence would get Goldman Sachs investigated even further and would destroy the powerhouse law firm of httP://www.MNAT.com
(Goldman Sachs (secret) Delaware counsel)
Public Docket Record Facts of Fraud by Goldman Sachs counsel MNAT
While supplying more than 15 erroneous affidavits (Confessed in public records)
http://petters-fraud.com/...
MNAT (Goldman Sachs Delaware attorney) - stipulated it had no connections to Goldman Sachs repeatedly. While the Dept of Justice strikes and expunges the proof from the public record
http://petters-fraud.com/...
Then, utilizing the ruse of the Destruction of Books n Records (Obstruction of Evidence)MNAT volunteered their cohorts in collusion (Traub) to prosecute Goldman Sachs in NY Supreme Court. Where, the case was dismissed for lack of prosecution
That NY Supreme Court case (#601805/2002) is now "entirely" Under SEAL
http://en.wikipedia.org/...
What a headline Literally
Goldman Sachs refused to prosecute Goldman Sachs
But there is more. The case was reported to the SEC, OIG, OPR, Public Integrity Section, the OSC, OGE, FBI, Corp Fraud Task Force, Senators, Congressman and more
Many emails with the SEC and DOJ - but most importantly, as denoted above, the
OSC was raided by the FBI for destroying case files
(-where is the raid of the SEC?)
See the Scott Bloch saga at Wikipedia ( here)
Dept of Justice Fails promise to rectify Goldman Sach's Fraud
Of the many emails we received, here is one of great importance. The Dept of Justice Deputy Director of the Executive Office of United States Trustees (EOUST) - Mr. Lawrence Friedman; sent me his personal promise to rectify the matter.
From: Lawrence.A.Friedman@usdoj.gov
Date: 02/25/05 14:49:58
To: laserhaas@msn.com
Cc: Kelly.B.Stapleton@usdoj.gov
Mr.. Haas:
You most assuredly have our attention and my personal commitment that we will act in every case where action is required and we are aware of it. Please understand however, that like any prosecutor, we must exercise appropriate discretion in carrying out our responsibilities which while sometimes in a particular case may seem unjust, it is done with perspective to ALL matters we handle. I sympathize with your frustration and again assure you that my staff is extremely competent to handle this matter and will exercise appropriate judgment.
Lawrence A. Friedman, Director
Executive Office for US Trustees
United States Department of Justice
Washington, DC
THEN - when we discovered Another $100 million in Fraud
Deputy Director of the Dept of Justice US Trustee's Lawrence Friedman RESIGNED
Delaware US Attorney was a Partner with Goldman Sachs law firm
The Delaware US Attorney who refused to investigate and prosecute MNAT or Goldman Sachs failed to disclose to us the fact that he (Colm Connolly) was a former partner of the MNAT firm in the very year the crimes were committed (2001)
see Resume http://www.justice.gov/...
SoCal US Attorney Shuts Down Public Corruption Unit to Bury all investigations into Goldman Sachs eToys case
We reported all this ethics violations and more than 100 crimes to the CA US Attorney and the Public Corruption Task Force.
Only to see the Los Angeles US Attorney O'Brien
shut down the Public Corruption Task Force and
Threaten
career Asst US Attorneys to keep their mouths shut or Else!
The excuse that O'Brien and former AG Mukasey gave was
- there are NO public corruption cases to prosecute.
See the story http://articles.latimes.com/...
We also have emails with SEC Bankruptcy Fraud division and SEC OIG.
Add to this, the Rolling Stone article from Matt Taibbi about the SEC destroying case files
http://www.rollingstone.com/...
along with the news today that Goldman Sachs CEO has hired an attorney (in DC)
http://www.nypost.com/...
A really BIG story
It is already beyond the 10 years like Madoff did, as it began before March 7, 2001.
Will we ever see justice in this case?
As long as there remains some like Matt Taibbi and Keith Olbermann, we hope so!
The gang over at www.GoldmanSachs666.com are staunch investigators and grass roots citizens in a noble campaign to halt the organized criminal empire of Goldman Sachs.
Evidently Larry and his GoldmanSachs666 website get major looks. For it was a reporter that looked at his website over the weekend and read our case story that they posted there on Friday - who called me and asked me for comments.
It doesn't matter if I get quoted or not. Now they are paying attention - and that is GREAT news..
Thanks and much big KUDOs to GoldmanSachs666 website!
