Indicting Mitt Romney is nearly impossible - now

Most of you are unaware that I've been battling Romney for 18 years: which is a result of the fact that I was the only CEO of a Toys company who refused to take a bribe to become a Bain Capital roaming manager (partner in Romney's organized crimes).

Arguably, Mitt is unfit to be walking the street, let alone being a United States Senator.

To this very day, Romney's Bain Capital, in collusion with Goldman Sachs, their attorneys at MNAT, along with Paul Traub, are ibstructing Justice.

For 18 years I've alleged that Romney's Bain Capital partnered up with Goldman Sachs to rip off Mattel, Fingerhut, Dreier, Traub/ Petters and eToys victims, for $5 billion. (See POLITICUSUSA 2012 article on me - and Mitt's flip flop pic HERE )



Just like Blankfein claiming he had nothing to do with the Malaysia billions in fraud - Sachs, Mitt & gangs claim they did nothing wrong to Mattel, Fingerhut, Petters, Dreier and eToys

Both me & 33,000 Toys R Us employees - know different!

Most also are unaware that Sachs & Bain are partners in Fingerhut frauds; and bailed out tools of the Puerto Rico Bond crisis.

You can learn more about the Stage Stores and Kay Bee Toys case that I blew the whistle about; which were featured cases by Matt Taibbi's Rolling Stone September 2012 cover story "Greed and Debt: A True Story About Mitt Romney and Bain Capital"

After Romney lost the 2012 election, I sued Mitt for Racketeering ; but his lawyers continue to lie and the case was dismissed.





I turned down a million dollar bribe and woke up in Hell

Upon my refusing a million dollar bribe, as CEO of eToys, and the chance to be on the board of 2 other companies owned by Bain, my life turned to Hell in a handbasket.

As I turned it down and reported the bribery, Colm Connolly was the US Attorney that I was reporting the crimes to - AND as it turns out - Colm Connolly actually was a partner of Bain Capital / Goldman Sachs law firm of MNAT .

You can see Colm's resume at the DOJ website - HERE

This evidence of a corrupt Colm Connolly, is irrefutable

Now Connolly is a Trump confirmed federal judge, his buddy Jay Clayton is head if the SEC (whose enforcements & fines are down by 1/2) and Willard Mitt Romney is a United States Senator.

Means it is dam near impossible for me to get Justice.

Just to give you an example, I sued Trump (HERE) to block Jay Clayton as head of the SEC; and informed Trump, DOJ and FBI about Colm Connolly.

The Clerk of Washington D.C. Federal Court refused to docket the case against Trump, until 3 weeks after Jay Clayton was confirmed.

Now reports are SEC enforcements have been cut in 1/2!




Romney's Racketeering began in the 1980s

As the picture chart, from 10 years ago shows, Mitt Romney is directly connected to every criminal element in our cases.

Furthermore, Romney consistently bragged he made hundreds of millions of dollars from Bain Capital.

Hence, if Bain Capital us guilty of unjust enrichment by racketeering, so is Mitt!

Toys R Us was deliberately killed.

Our eToys was not actually bankrupt. The crooks did a bookkeeping trick. Our eToys had 10 different companies; so Mattel filed a $10 million claim against each entity. When eToys consolidated the cases together, Paul Traub claimed eToys owed Mattel $100 million.

So, Paul Traub (who was working for Romney and Glazer at Stage Stores) lied under oath to inflate the level of insolvency.

Chances are they played the same trick with Toys R Us.

Difference is, Bain Capital is one of the 3 big creditors that put Toys R Us into bankruptcy.

Then they stiffed 33,000 employees.



.

Another scheme was turning down a $700 million dollar bid for 300 Toys R Us stores. The CREDITORS (Bain Capital being one of them) said it wasnt enough.

I'm known as "Laser the Liquidator" for the very reason that I'm one of the best liquidators. It is why I was appointed over eToys.
It is the fact that I know how bankruptcies work. And the $700 Million dollar bid for the 300 stores was a price very high ( that I could have driven higher).

Two things are obvious.

1- No one has done a cost benefit analysis to see the net the Liquidation of those 300 Toys R Us brought to the bankruptcy estate.

2 - Isn't it real convenient that the creditors are now taking Toys R Us andreopening them as Geoffry?

As is reported by Taibbi, in "Greed and Debt", the Stage Stores deal was formulated with Michael Milken junk bond monies; which was allowed to stay in place as the presiding (Judge Pollack) had his wife who was part of the deal.

This was corruption back in the 1980s!

More recently, the FBI and Department of Justice has threatened to prosecute me, if I don't back off; because they will 3-strike me as my dad drove for organized crime, and my mom was a rogue doing fire insurance scams (nearly got me & my baby brother killed).

They raised me as a crook and I was arrested, many times, as a teenager; and the crooked feds state Bain's Clear Channel/ iHeart will crucify me - unless I quit!

If anyone cares enough I can provide the vulgar email I sent to the FBI and DOJ when Colm Connolly's Assistant US Attorney utilized the FBI to threaten me.

By the way, that threat conveniently came 3 days after eToys shareholder, Robert Alber - woke up dead (Alber also turned down a bribe and was told - "People like you, who turns down this type of bribe - usually wakes up dead


Enigmatically, the FBI studied my case and claims My case was closed in 2006, by Colm Connolly; but I did not find out Colm Connolly was a partner of the criminal enterprise until 2007.

Surely no federal prosecutor can't be part of the organized criminal organization that gives said enterprise a - Get out of jail - Free Card?

It will blow your mind what happened when I found out and reported Colm Connolly to the Public Corruption Task Force on December 7, 2007 ( see my time stamped Complaint - HERE )

Subsequently (and you have to keep in mind this is when Mitt Romney first ran for POTUS, in the spring of 2008) The Public Corruption Task Force was Shut-Down and career federal prosecutors were threatened to keep their mouths shut, as to the reasons why (see March 2008 L.A. Times article "Shake-up toils federal prosecutors"

Stating:

Asked about the recent dismantling of a high-profile unit in the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles that specialized in public corruption cases, an office spokesman provided what some saw as a curious justification:

Eliminating the public integrity and environmental crimes section, spokesman Thom Mrozek said, would actually enhance the effort to prosecute such cases.


And, further, this alarming report that:

They (federal prosecutors) said O'Brien (the US Attorney in Los Angeles) also threatened to tarnish their reputations if they challenged the official explanation for the unit's dismantling in conversations with reporters. Members of the unit contacted by The Times either spoke on the condition that they not be named or declined to comment. Several said they wanted to talk about the situation but feared reprisals if they did so.





Current status of cases against Mitt & gangs

IMO Mitt and Trump had their January 2017 public dinner meeting, so that nobody else could be part of the conversation; and promises were made.

Things fer sure is that I sued Trump in March 2017; which means his staff, the FBI, SEC and DOJ all got the brief about Colm Connolly.

Then Trump made Colm Connolly into a federal judge!

Obviously, Romney believes he has gotten away, totally, 'Scott Free'!

Mitt's Bain Capital controls iHeart media 800 stations with over 150 million listeners. Thise radio outlets will never tell the truth about their POTUS wannabe boss.

As for the rest of main stream.media, Bain Capital is partners with Goldman Sachs; and SEC Commissioner Jay Clayton is partners with Goldman Sachs law firm and Colm Connolly is a Judge

Compounding those issues, Toys R Us is killed now; which means all the eToys paperwork have been destroyed(remember Mitt destroyed the 2003 Olympic records and his Massachusetts Governor computer hard drives).

On top of that, we proved Mitt Romney lied about when he left Bain Capital, by SEC Info records.; which are now in jeaporady because Bain Capital is invested in Edgars SEC Recordkeeping.

Even worse is the facts that there are others who worked with me including the Caciero brothers who successfully beat Romney with a qui tam case versus Sodexo.

Then their is Anna Schaefer who I helped move back to Minnesota to become a private detective in the Petters case.

Also career criminal Michael Sesseyoff.

John (Jack) Wheeler that worked with me through Harry A of Delmarva and a former Delaware State Police turned Politico, along John Meany of Delaware (many of the crimes easy to prove, occurred in Delaware).

Reached out to Joe Bidens son as AG of Delaware.

Then there is Marty Lackner who was brothers of James Lackner.

That would be Minnesota Assistant United States Attorney James Lackner that was head of the Criminal Division presiding over Tom Petters Ponzi that Sachs, Bain and Mitt's Stage Stores Attorney, Paul Traub, was involved in.

Here's the kicker, the common thing that Anna Schaefer, Michael Sesseyoff (who tried to kill Robert Alber), and the Caciero brothers, along with Harry A., Biden's son, (and the sons of Bernie Madoff which is another related story), as well as Robert Alber and the DE State Police turned Politico, and Marty Lackner - that they all have in common

THEY ARE ALL - D E A D!


Main stream media is afraid to report this story

NIW, don't get me wrong, I'm not miffed at reporters worried about people dying around me.

That's common sense.

Nor do I totally blame Taibbi, Sirota and others for being chickenshits.

Reporters don't controll the presses.

My beef is that the reasons the stories are not being told, is - GREED!

Sachs and Bain Capital control hundreds of billions of dollars in companies; which us easy to do when you steal billions and stiff billions to creditors, over and over.

The reasons main stream isn't telling the story, is due to the fact that Sachs and Bain will punish any such by withdrawing advertising revenues in the billions.

As for our etoys case, it still could bring down Ronlmney and Bain Capital.

Stage Stores was owned by Romney with Michael Glazer as senior executive. Barry Gold worked for Glazer and hired Paul Traub for Stage Stores bankruptcy.

At the same time, Romney, Bain and Sachs ripped off Mattel by shoving a broke Learning Company up Mattel by MNAT.

Goldman Sachs ripped off eToys when the stick went to $85 (press gets it wrong saying less); but Sachs stole the difference between. $20 and $85.

Resultant of Mattel merger with Learning, Mitt's contingency got 12 million shares of Mattel stock; which possibly allowed Bain Capital to manipulate who was forced into bankruptcy and who would win the auctions.

Kay Bee and eToys were in bankruptcy, multiple tomes; and always wind back at Bain Capital (this time under Toys R Us that also is bankrupt)

MNAT lied under oath to be my attorney and eToys bankruptcy Debtors counsel.

Paul Traub lued under oath to become eToys Creditors counsel.

MNAT and Paul Traub announced the sale of eToys to Bain/ Kay Bee for $5.4 million; but Laser the Liquidator halted the auction as CEO of eToys.

When those crooked parties were unable to stop Laser the Liquidator from getting tens of millions of dollars in bids, the racketeers offered me a bribe.

After I turned it diwn and reported it to the Delaware Department of Justice (MNAT secret partner Colm Connolly), MNAT forged a HAAS Affidavit resignation letter that "waived" millions of dollars in fees and expenses.

Once MNAT and Paul Traub locked Laser Haas out if eToys, they replaced him with Bain Capital's Barry Gold (who has confessed he is a paid partner if Paul Traub).

As Laser was usurped, MNAT, Barry Gold and Paul Traub reduced the prices of eToys to Bain/ Kay Bee.

In similar fashion, MNAT and Barry Hold nominated Paul Traub to be the one to sue Goldman Sachs.

So, Sachs sued Sachs and eToys lost a billion $ - Twice.

Meanwhile (as noted by Taibbi's "Greed and Debt" story), Michael Glazer paid himself $18 Million and Bain Capital $83 Million, prior to Glazer filing bankruptcy of Kay Bee.

MNAT openly represents Bain Capital of the $100 Million fraud; and Paul Traub (working Kay Bee case with Barry Gold and Romney's double dipping entity Sankaty) openly asked to be the one to prosecute Glazer and Bain.

Laser Haas points out the fraud to the Department of Justice, totally unaware the US Attorney (Colm Connolly) is a partner of the organized criminal syndicate of Sachs, Mitt, Bain, Traub, Barry and MNAT.

Instead of doing their job, the Delaware Department of Justice has Laser's whistleblowing strickened and expunged from the records.

Difference is, now, at Toys R Us, the Racketeers know they can't use the same players.

But Mitt and Bain are doing the same RICO games.

And, the main stream press, ain't sayin....

I've not seen nor held my kids, grandkids, since they abducted my daughter, on my birthday, in 2004.

Took 4 years more, to get the first arrests

After the last convictions in 2011, Romney ran in 2012; and main stream.media avoided it like the plague (worried Mitt might win???)

Then I sued Romney for Racketeering in 2013.

They closed my case in 2015.

2016 I wrote a letter to USAG Lynch daring her to arrest me, if any of my allegations were not true.

Romney calls Trump all sorts of names.

Instead, of doing something - Robert Alber wakes up dead and the FBI calls and threatens me, again.

2017, I send facts to DOJ, FBI, SEC - No response.

I sue Trump to block Colm and Clayton

Trump confirms them both by McConnell doing tricks (Cloture vote - Twice - to get Clayton confirmed and voice vote to confirm Colm Connolly).

I used to push public servants to comply with their oath of office; but that did not bode well.

Over 100 were ostracized, fired, transferred, retired, quit or worse (they joined the dark side)

Even the top echelon of the DOJ were to no avail. I called the number 3 Deputy Director at Justice Department and he asked how I got his number. Told him his secretary was quitting because she was ordered to hang up on me and she knew that was wrong.

He said it was rude of me to wake him up.

I said that I'm sorry to hear he doesn't want to lose sleep over another $100 million in fraud I discovered.

He resigned the next day.

Here is the email he sent me promising his staff was on top of the case, way back in 2005.

We now have Colm Connolly's resume permanently archived at the DOJ website known as Office of Legal Policy.

Never heard of it, until it was sent to me.
https://www.justice.gov/archive/olp/colmconnollyresume.htm


And DailyKos lawyers actually defend Romney, said I was lying about Mitt still working at Bain when I was CEO of eToys. (Most forget Mitt is a lawyer)

Same gang stalked me and said I was lying about USAG Ashcroft trying to assist me. Adam B said I fabricated a statement I credited to Ashcroft.

Just this year, after Ashcroft remarks were redacted for 9 years - someone posted USAG John Ashcroft remarks on the US Courts. Gov website

It sums up my dilemma, succinct and exact.

Ashcroft wrote

"

Bankruptcy court corruption is not just a matter of bankruptcy trustees in collusion with corrupt bankruptcy judges.

The corruption is supported, and justice hindered by high
ranking officials in the United States Trustee Program.

The corruption has advanced to punishing any and all who mention the criminal acts of trustees and organized crime operating through the United States Bankruptcy Courts.

As though greed is not enough, the trustees, in collusion with others, intentionally go forth to destroy lives.

Exemptions provided by law are denied debtors.

Cases are intentionally, and unreasonably kept open for years.

Parties in cases are sanctioned to discourage them from pursuing justice.

Contempt of court powers are misused to coerce litigants
into agreeing with extortion demands.

This does not ensure integrity and restore public
confidence.



With this remark, Ashcroft foretold my plight, back in 2005....

The American public, victimized and held hostage by bankruptcy court corruption, have no where to turn."

But he gave his life to this case for justice.

Even Marty Lackner (brother of corrupt prosecutor James Lackner) is a hero of this case. Though Marty was part of the Tom Petters Pinzi feeder fund, the jury is still out on - if Marty knew - until I learned of his death.

Though neither I, nor Lackner, Alber, Anna Schaeffer or Jack Wheeler and the other fallen did no boot camp together - the fact remains - we all fought for justice in these cases.

They deserve the medals.

After reading what you wrote, my spidey sense tells me you may be right in that Romney may try to make a run for president in 2020. Repugs will more than likely embrace the Mormon guy after the lecherous orange cretin they elected last time. The pendulum always swings the other way. Thank you for the OP.

So will many here. Romney may seem more benign than many repugs. Nothing could be further from the truth. He may come in a prettier package but he is just as insidious as the worst of them.

to anyone who stand in his way. 2020 is his last best chance. I wouldn’t doubt the decision to back him has already been made behind the closed doors of repug donors.

He's too junior of a Senator to be head of anything. Maybe the head of the bathroom, but that's about it.

31. Mitt is protected by law.
Fri Nov 16, 2018, 12:41 AM

Law, that he and his compatriots helped get passed to protect him and his compatriots.

The "corporate raiders" of the 80's trying to kill Disneyland...sure they killed plenty more...however, going to that level, brought some legislation to protect corporate-hood. But companies like Bain, found another avenue, granted it wasn't as fast, but they saw a way where they could leech off of the corporations bank account. Companies like toy stores, have to have a moving inventory...thus a constant cash pile that moves quite fluidly. Sell inventory, buy inventory. Use some of the profits to upgrade. Sure they have credit, but that costs more and cuts into profit. Best to have a pile of cash to avoid that. Hey, whats better than an interest rate of 0% on lending?

Capital companies rob them of that ability with a quick infusion of cash...the company is "temporary" thankful for a cash shortage, but, in the end, realize, they made a major mistake. If you are a CEO, capital companies are not your friend. They are not interested in what return they could get in percentages of single digits......but what they can get in loans in double digits...after taking in that profit...capitalize in the sale of assets. You can bet your sweet ass, they know the exact percentage to loan a company and still "lose" on the loan...while having the option to break even on sale of assets.

With that said, Kay-bee toys has been making a resurgence...slowly, but via a company that buys "worthless" defunct company names and ventures to see it they can make a resurgence. With the "Toy's R Us" return, via a capital company, they probably realized they could make a profit of it both dead, and resurrected. They'll make a profit on the sale and walk away....unless of course, they think they can make a profit of their legal scam again.

Side note, why don't leeches like Bain go after companies like insurance companies who are required to carry lakes of cash on hand? Because they are required to carry lakes of cash and invest it in safe investments. Sure they can borrow when their reserves don't line up..but its limited and under the scorn to "get it together". Because at the end of the day, the state doesn't want to pay for bad or greedy decisions that cost its taxpayers....its a politically costly job.

34. They go after gullible, weakened, prey

Insurance companies tend to be diversified; which makes them.hard to kill.

There's a well documented case of John Gellene, a lawyer from Milbank & Tweed. Gellene's Bankruptcy Fraud was caught, because he tried to scam Jackson Life Insurance via the case of In re: Bucyrus.

Unlike our Toys Industry case, where there are hundreds of lies, John Gellene only lied twice. But Gellene went to jail and Milbank & Tweed coughed up $1.9 million in 1994.

Milton Reagan wrote a book about John Gellene's case and law professors have written tons of published papers.

Milton's book is title "Eat What You Kill: The fall of a Wall Street Lawyer"

Jackson Life was who Gellen and Milbank were stealing from.

In our case, Romney & Sachs are stealing from the Toys Industry; and Mattel is in on the schemes.

I don't disagree with what you say, except I think he's planning for a 2024 run. Rather than your 2020 prediction.

Nationally, he's in our future again. Wethere we care to admit it or not. This time he'll be stronger than the last time, but still as vile. Also, all our "never Tump" current pseudo allies are already in his camp. I've seen it. The enemy of my enemies only lasts until our combined enemy is gone. Remember that, everyone.

Back in 2015, 3 stories about our case went semi viral. He spent $20 million putting huscteam, together.

This time he only has a small contingency; because - as a Senator - he'll be on the inside track to maker deals and test the waters.

37. Marty Lackner, in his 40s, wife, 3 kids, was found dead
Fri Nov 16, 2018, 01:36 AM
Nov 2018

Marty left No Note!

His friends and I conversed, after Marty's passing. Neither they nor I believe the suicide meme.

The WSJ, NYT and even Minnesota Star Tribune all stated the facts of Marty's case, was not a news worthy story.

How is it not newsworthy? Marty was part of billions in fraud and his brother James was the federal prosecutor in charge of the Division, that presided over Marty's case.

Even without the purported suicide the correlation begs a ton of questions.

Marty's brother is James Lackner and James was head of the Minnesota US Attorney's office Criminal Division that presided over the Tom Petters Pinzi case.

Minnesota never should have been allowed to prosecute the Petters Pinzi case.

The only papers that publish the Lackner dynamics were Public Broadcasting.

Here's the details from MN Public Radio in its published story "What did the money man know"

A TRAGIC TURN

The Bell case took a tragic turn in June with revelations that a Bell associate named Martin Lackner had committed suicide. Sources say Lackner, 48, had helped bring investors to Lancelot earlier in the fund’s genesis. There’s no record he was charged with any crime. His wife, Diana, and three children survived him.

Martin Lackner is also the brother of Jim Lackner, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Minneapolis office. Jim Lackner declined comment. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office said Jim Lackner never worked on the Petters or Bell cases. When the U.S. attorney’s office learned about Martin Lackner and his relationship to Jim, it notified defense attorneys for both Petters and Bell, he said.

Especially if you weave in the devastating effects on everyday peoples’ lives. Truly ironic would be that pool of people who were harmed by Bain Capital yet they voted for people like Romney.

As a victim who lost life savings and career, had my daughter abducted, hasn't been with family since. Had friends who are dead.

I want him, Goldman Sachs Lawton Fitt, Paul Traub and Colm Connolly, in jail. Along with anyone else who knew about the homicides prior to their occurrence.

Especially Colm Connolly. He was the crooked federal prosecutor who could have put an end to the carnage, in 2005; but he turned a blind eye.

52. Link about Bain Capital and Puerto Rico Bond bailout
Fri Nov 16, 2018, 11:08 AM
Nov 2018
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/06/09/rat-fink-ryan-pushes-passage-of-puerto-rico-bain-capital-bond-seller-rescue-through-house/

One strange anomaly is that - many times I point out facts and corroborative links - and the articles get rewritten or redacted.

Like the fact Romney's 2012 Campaign ( Mitt has never publicly said the words; because he would be confessing to perjury) - went on the record stating Romney was "retroactively" retired from August 2001, back to February 11, 1999. -- This was a glaring period of time; because Colm Connolly was a MNAT partner from 1999, until August 2, 2001 (the exact time I turned down a reported the eToys case bribe was mid-2001, and the Mattel, Fingerhut and Kay Bee frauds began between 1999 and August 2001).

Being that Colm Connolly was an MNAT partner at the time (Nd Colm may be linked to Wheeler's murder) Mitt wants to distance himself from Colm Connolly.

So the article that said 2001 - "retroactively" - changed it to 2002. Makes a slight difference; but makes Romney more guilty in other ways.

My husband Bob ran the EToys shareholders group and we spent a dozen trips across country going to court, mostly due to the evidence Lazer dug up. For you to run your mouth and falsely state we don't have a case, when my husband gave his life for this case, really pissed me off.

As Laser said, we got confessions.So please shut your mouth and stop pissing on us victims?

These crooks, including Mitt Romney, need to go to frigging jail.
