It simply amazes me how people can gather like a horde of hell bents on juxtaposed issues and then become totally obtuse to their impending demise. We spent the last couple of years trying to shame the feds into indicting Frank Vennes, Steve Cammack and Paul Traub. Finally, they have indicted Vennes and Cammack's partners (Prevost & Harrold) were indicted as well. But Paul Traub and Steve still seem to have a Dept of Justice "Get out of Jail Free Card".
A major media outlet contacted me yesterday, because my website ( www.Petters-Fraud.com ) is the premier outlet info-source on the entire Petters/Vennes debacle. They asked a simple question for help, telling me that they would be indepted to me if I could assist them in any way. All they want is for one, Just 1 - single solitary victim to come forward and explain how Vennes's scheme harmed them.
BUT NO,
Though I have been contacted by hundreds of victims, not one single person or entity wants to be asked, even if we conceal their identity, - They will NOT come forward.
Want to know why.
Because Frank Vennes is a good Christian and he was friends with Michele Bachmann and all us bad guys want to do is point out how she tried to get dear ole Frank Vennes a pardon.
Welcome to the American land of SHEEPLE!
Bachmann PARDON-GATE
What they are referencing is the fact that Tim Pawlenty, Mondale, former Senator Coleman and Michele Bachmann - all received a total of hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions (plus additional fund raising of others connected) - from Frank Vennes.
As can be seen by the chart (left) provided by MN commericial artist Ken Avidor and a wonderful flow timeline/chart by Dipity (here), which can also be found on MN blogger Karl Brenner website (Ripple in Stillwater (here)). The Bachmann Pardon-Gate case is a big deal.
What is of key significance, is the fact that Michele Bachmann only "returned" part of the money. She gave $10,000 to charity. That $10,000 was not turned over to Petters or Vennes's victims. She gave it to the charity of Vennes - Teen Challenge.
Why be a Sheeple
Listen, I am all for forgiving someone. Once an asshole - you are not always an asshole. Unless that is what you choose to be. My many friends can attest to that fact concerning yours truly.
However,
We ask how in the hell can these fraudsters get away with it for 10 years - and here is the reasons why.
Tom Petters was partners with a Organized Criminal named Paul Traub.
Paul Traub committed fraud in 2001 and confessed to doing so in 2005. He admitted that he deliberately perpetrated a fraud on the court and submitted INTENTIONAL false affidavits (more than 17) - over a period of several years - in multiple federal cases.
As an officer of the court- he should have been disbarred, investigated, indicted, had his assets forfeited and placed in jail. Instead the Dept of Justice gave him a Get out of Jail Free Card. WHY - because he represents Goldman Sachs and BAIN.
2 right wing, Wall Street powerhouses - that slaughter American business and citizenry with reckless abandon. (For those of you that do not know - BAIN was founded and managed by Mitt Romney).
Paul Traub then became Partner with Marc Dreier - who is now doing 20 years (see Wikipedia details (here)). Was also partners with Tom Petters - who is now doing 50 years (here). (please take notice - how you see NO mention of Paul Traub's name anywhere - though he was partners with Petters Group Worldwide, Fingerhut, UBid and Petters). Paul Traub also did a neat trick, he worked both sides of the fence in the OKUN 1031 Tax Group scandal. Traub worked for the OKUN 1031 Tax Group Debtor's estate and his former partner of Traub Bonacquist & Fox - Michael Fox, went to Olshan Fromme and worked for the Creditors/Trustee. How quaint and neat a package. OKUN is doing 100 years (here).
In all of those cases, Paul Traub got no mention, no connection and certainly no investigation. Why did each and everyone of his cohorts do time. Because we are the American land of Sheeple.
You and I do not care if our next door neighbor goes down in flames. Sure, we will hold meetings, we will say "what a shame". You will talk about church, donations, their kids in school. But will you stand together at the court house and say to the US Attorney - this is Bull Shit.
Of course you will
NOT!
Because we simply don't care to address the issues, when it does not Directly harm us this moment. Sort of like back in Germany. They took the blacks n foreigners and I said nothing, because I was not one of them. They took the gay and the others labeled perverse and I said nothing. Because I was not one of them. They took the Jews - what is a Jew (mmwah). So - they all sat in silence and said poor them.
Now, your Government, your Bachmann's, former AG Ashcroft - Chris Christies and Canary (from AL) - are marching around with the DeVoss's, the Kosh brothers and the Bachmann's of the world and stealing away all that is good.
Like Elizabeth Warren
Our very own answer to Diogenes quest.
Now abandoned.
Paul Traub was not only affiliated with Dreier, Petters and OKUN.
He also has a much larger connection.
Paul Traub's other partner (Harold Bonacquist of Traub Bonacquist & Fox) - works - as reported by the NY Supreme Court. Where you have to contact him by calling the US Embassy or Consulate General in the Philippines and make an appointment with Bonacquist in Istanbul.
Want to know why?
Because Harold Bonacquist works with Dan Quayle.
And we cannot bother with Dan Quayle - without jumping through hoops (even if he is falling down or faux pas'ing words left and right)
Because Dan Quayle is the world wide spokesperson for Cerberus
And do you know who Cerberus is?
CERBERUS Capital got most of your Bailout billions. Because they owned the controlling interest in Chrysler and GMAC
Cerberus interprets from the Greek into
"The Guardians of the Gates of Hell"
See Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/...
It is owned by the other GOP grand pooh bah Steve Feinberg - (who gives all yid's a bad name). With partners like Quayle, Mondale, Snow and clients like Rumsfeld and Chenny. All doing their biddings through Rove.
What does Cerberus have to do with all this.
Well, the federal courts in Delaware and MN - do not apply the law.
Simply because the American Sheeple can't do anything to stop them.
The DE courts gave Paul Traub the right to steal eToys, KB Toys, FAO Schwartz and give it all to BAIN - who now owns Toys R Us and the stolen property of eToys
Mitt Romney has built much of his vast empire of Bain in America and SanKaty Off Shore, in the Billions and Billions. Through Bankruptcy Fraud.
Paul Traub knew I caught him by lying, but witnessed in the Bush era Dept of Justice, the willful blindness and DOJ Get out of Jail Free Cards in the extreme.
So, not only was Traub partners with Dreier, Petters and OKUN
Cerberus was also a Feeder fund to Madoff by connections to the J Ezra partnership in Cerberus who also owned the Gabriel Fund as a feeder of Madoff.
When BusinessWeek reporter Matthew Goldstein was going to report on all this - ALL of a sudden, Madoff's sons' rushed to confess their dads guilt. Then Madoff became big news and everyone forgot about Traub.
Cerberus and Goldman Sachs (see http://www.petters-fraud.com/... ) for why Goldman Sachs is also Traub's good ole friend. Where Cerberus and Goldman Sachs owned Hilco. And the MN Federal courts decided to sell Polaroid, worth Billions, for only $88 million to Hilco/Gordon Brothers - despite the fact that they were the SECOND highest bidder and the courts also Forbade entities like Ritchie Capital from bidding.
Goldman Sachs, Hilco, Cerberus, Bain and Gordon Brothers are all Paul Traub clients.
So they rewarded him - where Paul Traub now owns Polaroid for Free.
Gordon Brothers has made him a partner
http://www.gordonbrothers.com/...
So, the American land of Sheeple has a choice.
Michele Bachmann, Pardon-Gate and real looney ideas on how we should just forgive and forget.
Hell, let's just let out poor ole Madoff, Petters, OKUN and Dreier.
They are probably just in club fed - getting laid every day and Prime Rib at night.
Or
They have Mitt Romney.
Where everywhere his attorney Paul Traub or MNAT commit a crime, the Dept of Justice and SEC - will NOT say a word.
This is Before Romney or Bachmann have their hands on the White House and the Dept of Justice.
The American Land of Sheeple and the Pardons to come for Traub, Ezra, Quayle, Romney and Bachmann - with their kind.
Those who love America
Yum Yum.
Now, if you think that is all - and it is just a Republican based problem
Guess who was fined $219,000 for abuse of Campaign Finance Laws.
Whose State most of the crimes were committed in?
Who is now flying on the same Airline - Sun Country?
You really don't want to know!
We are the foremost authorities on getting Petters, Vennes, Jim Fry, Prevost and Harrold arrested. Because we were asking the DOJ to do so, years before they did.
But it has been much longer for Cammack from Finova, Manchester, Palm Beach
and
Much Much longer for Paul Traub
Still to no avail
Because they fly Presidential hopefuls around for free
and represent Presidential hopefuls in their Organized Criminal enterprises.
Which is worse
Bachmann running the country
or
Mitt Romney
Talk about the Guardians of the Gates of Hell!
