My Civil War escalates against Racketeering Romney, Bain, GSachs and Corrupt Feds



.
For 2 decades now, I've been trying to get a "proper" federal investigation of an organized crime spree from the partnership of Bain Capital with Goldman Sachs.

Justice has been delayed & denied for 20 years!

Every federal agent & agency I've contacted has phony excuses on why they won't "bother" with the case. A series of cases that resulted in the death of our eToys public company, along with a dead Kay Bee, FAO Schwartz and Toys R Us.

Beyond 33,000 losing their jobs, a dozen are dead!

It began on, or before, Goldman Sachs aided Mutt Romney, Bain Capital & Thomas Lee Partners to get involved with "The Learning Company"; which Sachs & Bain merged with Mattel in 1999 by their lawyers at MNAT.

That merger resulted in a catastrophic $4 billion loss.

It is my opinion that Romney & Trump made a deal to continue to bury the cases of Mattel, Kay Bee, Fingerhut, Stage Stores, Toys R Us and eToys; and today's press that the ROMNEY v. TRUMP are at each other's throat is a facade.

There's solid evidence that Trump is Obstructing Justice by protecting Mitt/ Bain in order to protect Trump's lender - Goldman Sachs (see article by Aaron Kessel - HERE - asking questions about why Trump is protecting Romney, Bain Cap. & Goldman Sachs from investigation & prosecution).




This above picture originated 10 years ago at my Petters-Fraud.com website; which is another case yours truly blew the whistle upon (and the reason why a reporter calls me a "serial whistleblower&quot .

Resultant of my work with others, through memos, online submissions, letters, court filings, blogs and websites there are more than 2 dozen who served prison time; and a dozen national crime sprees were shut down.

That provides little solace when corruption is spreading.

From the picture above, Romney is at the top and Goldman Sachs is underneath; but I'm not sure that Sachs is the head and Romney is a LT. Mutt.



.
Over 200 felonies, some of which are confessed; but nobody will dare do their job. They witnessed how the real world works. Former USAG John Ashcroft got $50 million - NO BID - Deferred Prosecution Agreement.

That's bad enough that our nation's top Fed Agent got millions to - forgo - a federal prosecution. But, what most don't know is that Los Angeles US Attorney (Debra Yang) and I had discussions about our etoys cases. Yang ran the Public Corruption and Corporate Fraud Task Forces.

Yang was part of the Ashcroft $50 million.

John Ashcroft tried to help by authoring remarks there's a problem with Federal judges in collusion with high ranking members of the US Trustees office.

DailyKos top attorneys said I fabricated the Ashcroft letter

Now USAG Ashcroft remarks are permanently archived at the US Courts .gov website - HERE

I forewarned that Toys R Us would go bankrupt, after the NYT reported on how Sachs ripped off our eToys with the story "Rigging the IPO Game"; which resulted in Bain Capital being compelled to cancel the initial public offering of taking Toys R Us public (again).

Below Romney, to a viewers left, are pictures of Paul Traub and his partners, Marc Dreier and Tom Petters.

Marc Dreier is doing 20 years and Tom Petters is doing 50 years, in prison. Traub also worked other national fraud things like Kmart/ Sears, Enron and Adelphia.

In the Okun 1031 Tax Group case, Okun is doing 100 yrs.

Traub was named as the "control" partner of Tom Petters Ponzi by the federal receiver over Petters Ponzi case; but nobody arrested Paul Traub.

Question is - WHY -?????

The answer can be found by following the evidence the viewers right side provides. It is a picture of former Delaware United States Attorney, Colm Connolly (who was a partner of MNAT law firm (that represents both Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs, in Delaware).




The Smoking Gun thing that the feds and press continue to ignore is the fact that US Attorney Colm Connolly as head of the Delaware Department of Justice, repeatedly refused to investigate or prosecute Paul Traub and MNAT or their - secret clients (Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs).

Previously, even lawyers at Daily Los said I was lying about Colm Connolly being an MNAT partner; and I was booted out of DK for fighting with those lawyers who called me tin foil hat and worse when I said that Mitt Romney was lying about when he left Bain Capital.

Now, everyone knows that "retroactive" Romney lied about when he left Bain Caapital; and the DOJ website of the Office of Legal Policy (that I never heard of prior to 2007) has Colm Connolly's resume providing Smoking Gun proof Colm was a partner of MNAT, from 1999 until.August 2001 (coincidentally the same period of time Romney's Campaign manager claims Mitt was "retroactively" retired from Bain Capital).

As the Tweet picture above, details - Trump has made crooked federal prosecutor, Colm Connolly, into a Federal District Court Judge - but the bigger thing is that Trump did so AFTER I sued Trump to block Jay Clayton as head of SEC (and I informed about Colm Connolly in my briefing)

My lawsuit against Trump and Clayton was unsuccessful because of another issue of corruption. The D.C. Clerk of Court refused to docket my lawsuit against Trump & Clayton until AFTER Jay Clayton was confirmed.

Colm Connolly lied (concealed his conflicts of interest) upon his Senate Judiciary Questionnaire to be confirmed as a Federal Justice. Colm did not disclose his Bain Capital/ Goldman Sachs law firm clients cover up and Obstruction issues.

When I reported Colm Connolly's crookedness to the Public Corruption Task Force, the special unit was Shut Down and career federal prosecutors were threatened to keep their mouths shut - as to the reasons why.

TRUMP, along with his DOJ, FBI and SEC got a copy of my brief warning about Jay Clayton and Colm Connolly; but nobody is doing anything about these cases.

Thousands lost billions and people died - untimely!

A Goldman Sachs crony is head of the SEC, and that crony (Jay Clayton) was a partner of the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm duplicitous in eToys crimes.

Clayton's wife also was a partner of Goldman Sachs; and Jay Clayton's resume he redacted boasted investing in Bain Capital.

Since Jay Clayton took over the SEC, the number of complaints are record high; but the number of enforcements is down 50%.

How much worse is this going to get once Romney is inside D.C.?

How much worse will things get if Romney is POTUS?




.

Mitt Romney, Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs and Donald Trump think they will, forever be, Above the Law

And that ain't right!

Robert Alber was an eToys shareholder who joined me.

He had to shoot/ kill career criminal Michael Sesseyoff; and the conspiracy was the press making Alber look evil (Robert never was charged with any homicide) - whilst the pressconveniently neglected to report Sesseyoff was a career criminal with 36 convictions.

https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2009/10/29/security-carciero-general-boston/

Jay Carciero, 37, was shot and killed by an off-duty security guard at a clinic located a few blocks away from Harvard Medical School’s Longwood campus after stabbing his psychiatrist during a treatment session.

Medical School clinical psychiatry instructor Astrid Desrosiers, 49, suffered from multiple stab wounds and was rushed to Harvard-affiliate Mass. General Hospital for treatment.

According to Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis, who held a press conference to update the public following Tuesday’s incident, Desrosiers is currently in stable condition.

After hearing a woman scream in the treatment room, Paul M. Langone—a security guard not affiliated with the clinic but who happened to be nearby—burst into the room and shot Carciero three times after the psychiatric patient refused to drop his weapon.

Carciero, who had lived Reading, Mass., died from multiple gunshot wounds at Mass. General Hospital later that day.

Bain & GS have been involved in litigation before for other things. Has there been any litigation over any of these things?

Those tweets are trafficking in conspiracy theories.

(BTW, Toys r us shut down because it had a mountain of debt and the retail world of toys was changing (WalMart, Target, Amazon, other online toys sites), in combination with changing management, bad management, and the Great Recession. It filed bankruptcy, but that didn't save it. Bain buying it kept it afloat over a decade longer than it would have been able to be viable. But nothing could save it.)

Thu Jan 3, 2019, 12:53 PM

It had crippling debt. When Bain bought it, it DECREASED the debt by using Bain's real estate holdings. Bain continued to hold it for 13 years, trying to get it out of debt, to no avail.

What happened in the interim is that the retail world changed drastically. From brick and mortar toys-only stores with normal prices to brick and mortar big box discount stores like WalMart and Target, along with huge online sales from Amazon and specialty toy sites.

There are many wacko conspiracy theories, like the Holocaust didn't happen, and we never went to the moon. All those theories have "sources" and "facts," none of which are in legitimate investigative sources.

Yes, I know a bit about venture capitalism. And there are many sources on the internet explaining what happened to Toys R Us, as I stated above, and add to that poor management.

If you invest in the stock market, you know that Amazon killed many brick and mortar retail businesses...like Toys R Us. Add bad management in the form of taking on enormous, unprecedented debt that even bankrtupcy couldn't take off the books...and you have the demise of a business.
