We have said it before about The eToys Perjury Matter and we'll say it again: This eToys case just won't go away!
How many public servants will audaciously contort themselves like a tangled ostrich in order to avoid their duty in the face of clear facts of false declarations before a court? How many States will become tangled in the web? Who among the Judiciary and the Department Of Justice would really prefer the congeniality of non-confrontation and complacency over the risk of infamy at being associated with any ring of criminals whose reign is surely ending? Who among them wants to be remembered as having ignored the charge, in front of an international audience, to uphold the imperative for "law enforcement and justice sectors to keep our own houses clean" , as urged by U.S. Attorney General John D. Ashcroft? The public has seen Martha Stewart imprisoned. Why pick on Martha Stewart? She is much better looking than nearly every bankruptcy lawyer we have ever met, with the possible exception of Debra Grassgreen. We have seen Li'l Kim incarcerated. We have seen countless famous persons, baseball stars, and countless ordinary persons severely punished for their purportedly having lied under oath. Yet some bankruptcy lawyers and bankruptcy professionals file blatantly false sworn statements in Federal Courts with impunity. Worse, their bold faced, and admitted, lying is in furtherance of acts which take moneys from other persons and are criminal. John Grisham please take note. Why not focus your special skills, knowledge, and talent upon a work based upon actual events? We believe that only one of the most talented writers of our time could really succeed at illuminating the nubilous muck under which the Billion Dollar Bankruptcy Rings thrive - and make it fun. Would not the chance to help put an end to perhaps the longest running and most profitable web of organized crime since the abolition of slavery in the free world be a worthy pinnacle for an already illustrious career? You can download here a copy of a pleading regarding a lawsuit against Goldman, Sachs & Co originating from the same eToys bankruptcy case which we have previously made note. Below is a copy with emphasis added. Our reading, simplification, of this document is that one particular bankruptcy professional, this guy Laser Haas, got suspicious because a bunch of other "professionals" kept opposing his efforts at maximizing the recovery on the Debtors various assets that were being liquidated. It turns out that not only were there false declarations (a criminal act) by lawyers saying that they had no relationship with the other professionals, there are also alleged undisclosed relationships between the professionals and the ultimate buyer of the eToys assets. This buyer was alleged by Haas to be paying less than the sales which Haas was arranging. Kind of a really simple story once you get into it. "Same old Song"
But none of it needs to be true beyond the already admitted facts of false declarations, a criminal act, in order for prosecutions and incarcerations to have already commenced. - Wouldn't a few indictments for the obvious and admitted crimes get these guys talking?
- Are the administrators of the prosecutorial departments living in glass houses?
Perhaps previously living in them, or looking to move into expensive glass houses after leaving "public service" and returning to private practice.
