Kashmir Hill of Forbes Defends White Collar Crimes and Attacks Messenger. Kashmir Hill defends Kevin Padrick, as Kashmir Hill Does NO Real Research into the "Complicated Story". Kashmir Hill Forbes.

Kashmir Hill of Forbes is simply telling a tiny part of the story and with great discrimination.  Kashmir Hill seems to want to protect the crimes against victims in the US Bankruptcy courts and Kashmir Hill has not even researched the real ethics, behavior, lawsuits, business dealings of Kevin Padrick or of Obsidian Finance Group.  Kashmir Hill needs to look deeper or Kashmir Hill should have simply stayed out of this battle of wits she is obviiously unarmed at.  See Kashmir Hill has not dug deep as David Carr of the New York Times Claims.  Kashmir Hill has simply listened to the word of the "bad guy" and shot the messenger per say with seemingly no accountability. Or even a drive to find the REAL STORY.

Kashmir Hill's Forbes Article Said "After a failed attempt to get the Oregon Attorney General to investigate Cox, Obsidian filed a defamation case in January 2011, and Padrick first met Cox on the first day of the trial."  


Kashmir Hill wrote this right after she posted an email accusing me of extortion, which is criminal and I have not had criminal charges against me.  Kashmir Hill has ruined my reputation in defending Kevin Padrick's, does this make sense?

Kashmir Hill has no liability for the damage she has cause me?  Did Kashmir Hill contact the Oregon Attorney General or simply take the word of Kevin Padrick whom many have legal and ethical issue with (
http://www.kevinpadrick.com/) ?

Kashmir Hill said this just after posting an email from January 19th of 2011. So is Kashmir Hill  claiming that Kevin Padrick tried to get the Oregon Attorney General to investigate an email sent to his attorney AFTER he filed the lawsuit?  Kashmir Hill says in the Forbes article that the Plaintiff filed the lawsuit after trying to get the Oregon Attorney General to Investigative Me.  So what was Kevin Padrick trying to get the Oregon Attorney General to investigate, when the Email she posted was sent AFTER the Lawsuit was Filed. Does this make ANY logical sense to Kashmir Hill ?

In context the email was sent as a Reply to a cease and desist, and was sent AFTER the lawsuit was filed, and between two attorneys, as I represented myself. And there were emails back and forth. All this IGNORED by the Irresponsible Journalism of Kashmir Hill.

Does Kashmir Hill have any investigating ability?  What Kevin Padrick told her does not add up, and with so many others with issue regarding Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group why would the Oregon Attorney General not investigate Kevin Padrick or Obsidian Finance Group?  Why does Kashmir Hill not investigate Kevin Padrick or Obsidian Finance Group? 

So much money, so many victims and Kashmir Hill of Forbes focuses on an Email between the Plaintiff's attorney and me, a Pro Se Blogger trying to "Negotiate" with the Plaintiff's attorney, after a cease and desist so broad and vague, and after a lawsuit was filed.  Kashmir Hill is seriously negligent, flat out wrong and her post does not make sense to a rational mind that actually researches the story.

Yet, sadly most do not research the facts, documents, videos, depositions of the story and instead simply believe Kashmir Hill and not me.  Kashmir Hill has not investigated this story for 3 years, I have.  Kashmir Hill has no clue of the real story, yet Kashmir Hill jumps in with conclusions, accusations and harms me in every way and with NO accountability.

Obsidian Finance Group lost a loan due to what I posted, thing is I posted links to proof and the bank VP never contacted me, there was lots of information online about the story, and yet I was blamed when it was not my story.  I simply picked up the story and ran with it.

This story is huge, and the defamation accusation is false really. Obsidian Finance Group did not prove they lost one penny regarding this post and yet was awarded 2.5 million dollars.  It makes not sense, yet Kashmir Hill does not look into any of this. Kashmir Hill simply believes what the Zillionaires tell her to believe.


If Kashmir Hill did her homework she would see that there is lots more to all this.  For example, I am "affiliated" with a book, I have been writing for years and most have not published, however I have lots of ISBN numbers and 2 books registered with Bowker. I started a Publishing Company in 1996 and I have had other publications publish my writings.  I am more of an investigator then Kashmir Hill , that is a FACT.  And I am truly independent. Kashmir Hill has not looked into any of this and Kashmir Hill simply takes the hearsay of one Man and his Attorney, which is certainly NOT investigative reporting. 


Kashmir Hill says, "...  but a trial by jury found that her claims were false, and found her guilty of defamation." Where does this come from?  Does Kashmir Hill understand that it was the Opinion of One Oregon CPA, paid by the Plaintiff that the Jury had to go on to find me "guilty"?


Kashmir Hill of Forbes quotes Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group in say “She has decimated my business. It’s half of what it was,” says Padrick. “She’s ruined my reputation, my life.” the TRUTH is all I did was turn on a light in the room the bad things were happening in.  I did not make up that information, and I provided proof of my source and the Judge would not allow this information into the Trial.

Kashmir Hill has done NO Investigation into the Truth of this Story.  And Kashmir Hill has NOT spoke to me, to do her so called Fact Checking, getting both sides that journalists claim they do. 
Kashmir Hill does not want the real story, but Kashmir Hill instead simply wants to make me look bad instead of printing the real facts of the case.


Kashmir Hill Says "A reminder here: she wasn’t able to prove at trial that what she had written was true. Do we really want to claim this person as one of our own, folks?"  Thing is in no way is Kashmir Hill like me.  See I read documents, depositions, watch videos of the parties at meetings, talk to many insiders and for years.  And Kashmir Hill just posts some jaded version of the story to shoot the messenger per say.

Instead Kashmir Hill should has why I was unable to prove at trial that what I wrote was true to the best of my ability?  See Kashmir Hill is NOT looking for the TRUTH but instead Kashmir Hill is looking to Defame Me, punish me, even though a Judge Jury already has.  And I never asked to be called "your own", I have been investigating corruption and speaking out for over 6 years and it has changed my life in every way.  Death Threats, Set Up by Judges, Stalked, Lied about, Harassed and all ignored by the Cops, Judges, FBI, State and Federal Prosecutors.

Obsidian Finance Group is really one of the smallest stories I write about.  Kashmir Hill is certainly not one of "your own".  See the bloggers, whistleblowers that I know, they do their homework, they have proof, documentation and experience extreme harassment and duress as they expose corruption.  See the bloggers that are like me, they face economic terrorism, cps threatens them, judges set them up, they are sued and starved out, threatened of death and more ...All because they dare to blog about what is really happening to them, or people they know.  Bloggers do this with back up, video, documents and not just posting hearsay and agenda.  Most of the time bloggers such as I am that expose real corruption, are not paid to expose this corruption and instead make money other ways from their blogs, ads or selling other product.  This way the story is pure and the ad dollars and politics does not control why they expose.  Bloggers are more credible as news then Forbes, New York Times, Fox, big media and certainly more credible then the yammerings of Kashmir Hill.



See I have been in this for 3 years, and I know tons about it.  Kashmir Hill took the word of the Plaintiff and ran a story, an attack against me with no base in real facts of this 3 year long story. 


Kashmir Hill says, "This has led to a slew of angry stories, pointing out that bloggers are journalists. But these stories have not dug deeply enough. The facts in the case are far more complicated, and after hearing them, most journalists will not want to include Cox in their camp."  Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogger says YES this case is far more complicated and it is not about ONE email between a Pro Se Defendant Blogger and a Plaintiff's attorney.  This story is 3 years deep and has thousands of pages of documents, depositions, emails, and back story that needs to be researched before opening one's mouth as Kashmir Hill has done.  And I never asked "journalists' to include me in their "camp", that is just lame.  I do wish that Journalists, Investigative Reporters, Bloggers, and ALL would investigate Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group and bring justice to those they have harmed by presenting the FACTS instead of simply shooting the messenger.  However, it seems that most believe what they are told by big media and do not dig deeper.  Kashmir Hill is simply clueless on the TRUTH about Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group.  And she seems to have no accountability or remorse for inciting a riot against me, essentially accusing me of the crime of extortion with no background information, not looking at dates the lawsuit was filed and well not even digging into the story but simply jumping to the defense of a white collar criminal and attacking someone who is trying to expose corruption and help people.  I had no personal vendetta, I did not know Kevin Padrick, I had no money involved, I was simply getting the victims story found. 


Kashmir Hill sure is naive and gullible.  It Seems that Kashmir Hill did not look into anything that Kevin Padrick told her but instead just believed whatever he spewed out of his lying, evil mouth. 


Kashmir Hill's article said,

"Obsidian’s tech team found dozens of sites that appeared to have been created by Cox to write about Obsidian, says Padrick, and over 1,900 others that she had created to write about other people and companies. This is not the work of a journalist, but the work of someone intent on destroying reputations."

This is just ridiculous, they have no idea what I do, or why and this tech team has no clue as to what is really going on.  And to take Kevin Padrick's words as to why I supposedly have sites, without posting my version of why I have the sites or even reading my sites, Kashmir Hill just goes along with what Kevin Padrick says??? Really??

I have sites on my several businesses, sites on alternative energy, sites on alternative medicine and healing, sites supporting gay and lesbians, sites on real estate, sites on cancer and many other topics and my corruption sites are not the majority of my sites, and when I write on the bad guys, ya I go to the top of the search engines.

However, I did not destroy their reputation, they did this long before I showed up, I simply got the victims they created found as I am amazing at search engine placement and gave this as a gift to victims.  Kashmir Hill has no clue as to what I do or why.  



Kashmir Hill's article said, 
"Padrick told me this has been going on for three years. There is a rather complicated back story — involving his being appointed a Chapter 11 trustee for a business that went belly-up Ponzi-style in 2007, and some of those involved not being happy about misappropriated funds being reclaimed"
Yes Kashmir Hill it has been three years, and I got a bankruptcy whistleblower blog found.  They had problems with Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group and with David Aman of Tonkon Torp and I got them heard, found in the search engines.  I did not create the story, it WAS and IS .. not my Story.. Kashmir Hill has no clue the real back story, the breach of contract, the lies, the unethical behavior of Kevin Padrick... and Kashmir Hill is not about to dig deep, but instead naively believes a Zillionaire that makes Millions a Year off of other people's demise and all the while lies to and bullies his own clients, so that he can prey on their life's work.  DO YOUR HOMEWORK and STOP focusing on the messenger, I am Telling the TRUTH about the Dirty Rotten Scoundrel Kevin Padrick, Attorney and his Attorney David Aman. 
Also note about the Forbes article, and seemingly Kashmir Hill are only letting in negative comments about me.

Several people have told me that they posted positive comments on Forbes on work I had done for them, and Forbes rejected these comments.  Seems that Forbes simply wants to discredit the messenger.   I have commented to try and correct errors and my comments have been denied.  Kashmir Hill has me owning sites that I don't own. The Errors of Kashmir Hill of Forbes is shocking and she does nothing to correct them, even though she knows the facts and has a fancy editor.  


There is a comment on the Forbes Article I want to Comment on.. it says this..


"Truth would have been a defense, but the burden was on the other side. Instead, Cox even failed to show that she had a good faith reason to believe the statements were true. Apparently neither the jury nor the judge believed that her secret source was real." ~ I want to clarify.  I never claimed a Secret Source at the Trial.  I brought over 500 pages of documentations of my source, and of good faith reason.  The judge said it was hearsay and it was not allowed.  http://www.obsidianfinancesucks.com/2011/12/in-obsidian-v-cox-i-provided.html


If you cannot read the document, email me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com 


If you want the facts, find them.  If you don't care enough to dig deep then don't simply believe Kashmir Hill of Forbes or David Carr of the New York Times. 


Kashmir Hill is not telling you, "Nothing but the Truth"  Look beyond the one sided rant of Kashmir Hill and find the facts for yourself.

David Carr, New York Times: Take A Deeper Look at What the New York Times, David Carr and Forbes is Saying and Support the Victims and NOT the Criminals.

Do Not Simply Believe the New York Times, David Carr and Forbes because they are bigger then me, and more Established.  David Carr of the New York Times has an agenda to keep down New Media and David Carr of the New York Times has an Agenda to keep Woman in their place.

David Carr of the New York Times and Kashmir Hill of Forbes Seem to think it prudent to NOT print my side of the story regarding the now "infamous" email.  And David Carr and Kashmir Hill have no accountability, and David Carr keeps attacking my character though a Judge and Jury already has "punished" me.  Why?  Is David Carr the Eye for an Eye Police? Well this is to attack all bloggers, and to avoid doing research on the real story, of the real crimes. David Carr is a Lazy, Ignorant Journalist.

David Carr and Kashmir Hill get to claim protection under laws that don't apply to bloggers.  So David Carr and Kashmir Hill can legally say what they want about me, set me up, post flat out lies and have no accountability, as they demand accountability from me. Of which a Judge and Jury has already handed out.

David Carr and Kashmir Hill simply take the word of Kevin Padrick and his Attorney David Aman, who were both involved in the Summit Bankruptcy.  David Carr and Kashmir Hill need to discredit me so that my accusations are not taken serious.  Thing is the Department of Justice, FBI, and all other authorities ignore the real details of the bankruptcy courts and guys like Kevin Padrick have no oversight what so ever, even though they claimed they did. The Summit Bankruptcy should be VOID from the Start.  Kevin Padrick worked for the company that went bankrupt to help them Form a Plan of Reorganization, this is a signed contract between Summit and Obsidian Finance Group and then Kevin Padrick was a Trustee working on the other side, against them.

David Carr and Kashmir Hill seem to NOT want to Read anything and claim that Kevin Padrick has no one else that has had an issue with him, and has not been in any other similar situation.  The Truth is the Summit Bankruptcy had an Objection to the Fees filed by several insiders, in this there were emails between the Department of Justice Trustee, between David Aman and Robert Opera - one of the attorneys involved and Opera suggested issues of deferred gain, there was also tax exhibits and tons more and I had read this over and over, it was a public document and had been online for years, the court would not accept this as a source even though it was a source and that was the truth.  The Truth seemed to be irrelevant.  Here is the Objection to the Fees in the Summit Bankruptcy.

I Told Their Story, it Was not My Story. I wanted to get them heard and to protect others it was or may happen to in the future. David Carr and Kashmir Hill have NOT read any of the documents? Nor does David Carr and Kashmir Hill have any interest in the facts, truth or my side.  David Carr and Kashmir Hill will be sued by me, Pro Se Blogger Crystal Cox Soon, as David Carr and Kashmir Hill are protecting the Criminals and Protecting the Foothold of Big Media and I DO NOT APPROVE.

Here was my Statement of Source NOT allowed into the Trial

Here is the Trial Documents I Gave to Show the Source of that One Blog Post
http://www.obsidianfinancesucks.com/2011/12/in-obsidian-v-cox-i-provided.html

So instead of Investigating the Crimes I write about ,and there are tons, they investigate me.  They are scouring my bank accounts, calling my clients, setting me up for alleged criminal activity and basically sending a lynch mob after me, and nothing I can do really but wait for it.  As David Carr continues his rampages to discredit me and even have me a lesson for teens to talk about in New York Schools, all the while Ignoring my side of the story even though he talked to me.  And David Carr ignores that I am not the one accusing Kevin Padrick of these Indiscretions and action, I am simply writing about those who are.

There will be much more on other people, companies that have issue with Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group at the Link Below, I will add more over time, though David Carr says I am the only one with a Beef regarding Kevin Padrick and Summit. I have tons of documents and information, have for YEARS.

...David Carr and Kashmir Hill have NOT done their Homework, and have defamed me, accused me of criminal activity and posted false information on an email that was between TWO Attorneys, I was Pro Se.. You Will get to defend this in court .. David Carr and Kashmir Hill ..

Quantum Case in this Same Court

Conflict of Interest Form that Judge Hernandez Refused OVER and OVER to Sign in my case

The Tiffany Craig Case, Yet for Me None of this Applied

This Blog was online and still is

There is lots more information on Summit then Me, I simply got their story found in the search engines.  I hope to Sue Forbes and the New York Times for Endangering my Life and Defamation.  As regarding their version of that email they are accusing me of a crime, giving me no Criminal Attorney and not posting my side.  There were surrounding emails and it was a "Cease Fire" "Negotiation" between 2 attorneys as I was Pro Se.  There is lots more to it.  However David Carr and Kashmir Hill are protected to ruin my life further and gather a lynch mob for something the "bad guy" told them happened, that did not happen quite that way. 


Summit Bankruptcy Filing

More Documents of the Case Will be at 

Also to Examine in depth Every mistake that David Carr has ever possibly made, mis-quotes, flat out lies, inspiring a lynch mob, ruining lives without facts and more.. Coming Soon..

Note:  Any documents you cannot find on this page and want email me Crystal@CrystalCox.com.  My main source was the Objection to the Fees in Summit and Mark Neuman, Summit Principals Deposition if you want those and can't find them email me.  I was always telling the victims story and the angle David Carr of the New York Times is Running With, as Well as Forbes is FLAT Wrong. I will also soon be posting my story in an easier to understand format, also I will be making demands of the New York Times and Forbes, and at some point file lawsuits against them. I have tons of information, videos and documents if you want the Truth or you can just run with Forbes and New York Times, but remember even if I was guilty of a crime, which I am not, but if I was, then how would that have anything to do with if that post was true or NOT?

Think for Yourself.

Do your Homework.

Is Kashmir Hill One of those Legal Journalists? Does Kashmir Hill Call Both Sides, Take Them Notes and Get that hard hitting News? Got a Tip on Kashmir Hill ?

Well this "Unhinged" Blogger says that Kashmir Hill is Not Legally Media as Kashmir Hill did not Call Both Sides, Get the Facts on what blogs I own, prove that was a real email, nor did Kashmir Hill seem to verify any of her alleged facts. Yet Kashmir Hill is considered a Journalist and I am Not?
Did Kashmir Hill just believe Oregon Multi-Millionaire and Financial Powerhouse Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group or did Kashmir Hill talk to David Aman of Tonkon Torp and get some good old fashioned heresay?
Does Kashmir Hill really believe that Obsidian Finance Group is the Good Guys?  If so, how did Kashmir Hill come to this conclusion?  Did Kashmir Hill dig deep and investigate, or did she rely on one source, the word of Obsidian Finance Group?
Kashmir Hill  sure seems to jump to alot of conclusions.  Guess Kashmir Hill is not liable for trash talking me, cuz she is the "Real" News and is Accredited and All.  So does Kashmir Hill have the capability to Edit? Shall I demand a Retraction from Kashmir Hill, though that would never work, for the wrong story is rampant due to "unethically" alleged "journalism".

So does Kashmir Hill have investigating Skills and Will Kashmir Hill of Forbes, a Blogger, it Seems dubbed a Journalist, with full rights of Free Speech that I, an independent blogger, am denied, does Kashmir Hill plan on investigating the alleged crimes, conflicts of interests, depositions, court cases, videos, documents, and tons of other sources showing that Obsidian Finance Group may not be so squeaky clean?  Or is Kashmir Hill just going to take their word for it all and call it news?

Kashmir Hill defends Obsidian Finance Group and instead of sticking to the facts of the case she goes into other businesses and services I provide which are not illegal to provide, and thousands of other companies Do.
Does 
Kashmir Hill know that some of the biggest PR Companies in the world now offer Search Engine Reputation Management Services? Does Kashmir Hill know that Search Engine Reputation Management services are recommended by google and does Kashmir Hill know that Reputation Management is big business and legitimate business.  Does Kashmir Hill know that I also sell a Supplement that Dissolves Artery Plaque and I have offered that to my Readers, Clients, and All who Email me, even the Plaintiff's Attorney?  Is it illegal to offer other businesses and services just because I expose corruption?  Is it really that wrong, to be open to promoted somebody that I once did a story on?  Has Kashmir Hill looked at all sides of all of this?


Does Kashmir Hill know that on her news feeds there are ads for all kinds of services, and some of them Forbes Supplies?  Does Kashmir Hill ask the question if it's unethical for the National Association of Realtors, for example to pimp out ad space for lenders, banks, home warranty companies, title companies and related industries. Or does Kashmir Hill think that as an Internet Marketing Expert, I am to only offer one specific service and make no money at any other business?

Kashmir Hill should look at ComplaintsBoard.com and RipOffReport.com, those sites put information up and take money I hear for removing it and most of it never comes down.  Point the finger where you need to Kashmir Hill , what ever distracts from the Corruption in the US Bankruptcy Courts.  I challenge you Kashmir Hill to actually look into really investigating Obsidian Finance Group, I bet you find something somewhere that makes you wonder if these are really the "Good Guys".

Kashmir Hill, did you research other news in your "Media" category and see what they had said about this so called Ponzi Scheme, was it really a Ponzi?  Did you even research that or just blather it all "unhinged" from the words of a very angry man, who I believe is guilty of fraud, corruption and collusion?  


Does Kashmir Hill care about a story, as a paid journalist by the "Establishment" or does Kashmir Hill care about getting the real story by actually reading, studying documents, watching videos and getting a true handle on the real story that is being reported by ME.  Ya, sometimes Kashmir Hill I am all unhinged, and had you been through what I have in the Summit Bankruptcy, you may a bit "Unhinged" too, at times, so what.  The Facts are still the Facts, dig deep, and find the Truth about your Buddy Kevin Padrick and the Gang at Obsidian Finance Group.  


Kashmir Hill, you could join the Bloggers Vs. Journalist Challenge, the Challenge to actually investigative Kevin Padrick for real, and not just use private emails, and trash talk to prove some ominous point.  Check out http://www.kevindpadrick.com/ - and get started with some indepth reporting for real on the Truth about Obsidian Finance Group. 

So, Yes Kashmir Hill I now offer Search Engine Reputation Management Services, so do thousands of others, I recommend all have it.  So does Google and many others, research that industry, its big business and a needed business and boy if its illegal thousands are doing it, you are sure going to be busy Kashmir Hill , in your hard hitting uncovering of all their businesses and whether its legal or not. 

Many of the Top PR Companies in Old Media now claim to Offer Search Engine Reputation Management, well Kashmir Hill if thats illegal you best get on investigating that entire industry.

Hey Kashmir Hill is it legal to post a private email between me and anyone without my permission, oh ya your a "journalist" Kashmir Hill  and you Kashmir Hill are protected by all those fancy laws that protect the so called "real Media". And for Kashmir Hill, the facts don't need to be uncovered, she gets to defame me, trash talk me, and say whatever she wants. See Kashmir Hill is one of them thar "Real Journalists".

Gee if only I had the education of Kashmir Hill and then I to would be a real journalist and have no liablity with flat out lying, misquoting, posting "facts" that are not true and basically yammering in defense of a large Oregon Corporation that is ruining lives, creating victims and has no accountability. 

Let's do some "Journalism" on Kashmir Hill .  Let's investigate and report on Kashmir Hill  and let's have some of her private emails to post.  Email your Kashmir Hill private emails tp me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com 
Email photos of Kashmir Hill, videos, documents involving Kashmir Hill.  I want everything on Kashmir Hill, because I am a Journalist you See. And ya I have about a dozen other businesses I do, thats how it is in 2011 and how it is doing business on the World Wide Web.

Judge Reardon Hamilton City Judge

My favorite elected official is getting reelected, because nobody ran against him.

Judge Reardon, City of Hamilton Judge feels that crime in his courtroom makes you a gentleman.  Judge Reardon believes that corrupt law enforcment are "fine men".

The Stanford Prison Experiment is an understatement of what happens in Hamilton Montana.
read more: http://www.prisonexp.org/

Judge Reardon thinks verbal assaults from the bench is a way to gain the publics fear.  Judge Reardon feels that the US Constitution does not apply to his court.  Judge Michael J. Reardon will throw you in jail if you read the US Constitution in his courtroom.

Judge Reardon is the reason the City of Hamilton faces a $27M civil rights case.....OOPSY.

Judge Reardon, as former Ravalli County Prosecutor charged burgulary to a 70 year old woman who FOUND A WATCH. The MOST Honorable Reardon called the woman "a thief" and more; it cost Ravalli County tens of thousands of dollars....lets keep him on as a public official, eh?
read the account: http://www.amazon.com/Finders-Keepers-Citizens-Bizarre-Encounter/dp/0595508022

Michael J. Reardon cost Ravalli County and City of Hamilton quite a penny, yet they keep him on for more.  Why is that, does he threaten people, or is he too afraid to retire?

A proud former marine JAG who now violates laws, rights of Americans in his jurisdiction.  It takes a real man to sit in front of Old Glory and violate fundamental rights (and thinks he is so powerful he can get away with it).

Michael Reardon takes away public defenders and challenges status in court. Just to harass the scum that enters his lair.

It is rumored that Michael Reardon is infatuated with a friends wife, as noble as he is and is the reason he came to the Bitterroot Valley of Hamilton Montana.  We have no law, only what Michael Reardon deems to be.  Judge Reardon has a 97% success rate in getting people to plead guilty.

It is unknown how many cases he dismisses; it is wondered if he misses Mr Bell who Reardon allowed to commit crime IN his courtroom, witnesses by reporters, protected by the Montana Supreme Court.  Judge Reardon is a proud man, but has a shameful record.

Woe to Hamilton Montana: four more years of living hell.

Federal Bankruptcy Fraud schemes
(4)separate cases 1990/1999 National Training Systems, Charles R. Longo, Shippers Choice Inc., Winmark "

Published on: 11/2/1999 Last Visited: 5/19/2006

Instead of helping him with his problems with Longo, Stone contends that complaining to the proper authorities just added to his difficulties. ...

Even more surprising to Stone, at the time Longo was investing in DSII, Longo was under investigation by state and federal law enforcement for allegedly defrauding the federal student loan program of millions of dollars. ...

Donald Stone claims that during the business start-up, Longo "befriended" him and then urged him to turn over the corporate documents for DSII to Longo....

The lawsuit claims that while Stone was not present, Charles Longo, armed with the corporate documents, convinced the other DSII board members, Proctor, Warfield and Sapperstein, to fire Stone as President of Donald Stone Industries Inc. ...

To add insult to the injury of having his company pulled out from under his feet, Longo and DSII then took Stone to court to force him to turn over his surfboard ointment patent to DSII. ...Stone says that Longo told the investigators Stone was never more than an inventor hired by the company, and that Stone was just an employee of DSII. ...Bankruptcy Case #161-94-57899 that Stone later obtained, Howard asked Longo, "Did Shipper's Choice ever borrow any money from Stone Industries?" ...

Knowing that Howard was investigating Longo, Stone surmised that Howard would be interested in hearing about the way Longo had fleeced him out of Donald Stone Industries Inc. and was now trying to steal Stone's invention. ...So, Stone had Howard served with a subpoena to testify against Longo in the Worcester County Court lawsuit brought by Longo against Stone....

Stone was hoping that testimony by Howard about Longo's alleged defrauding of the student loan program, would help in his defense against Longo's lawsuit. ...

The report states that Longo was an investor who owned a company called American Credit Company.Charles Longo told the investigators that instead of allowing DSII's funds to sit idle in a Donald Stone Industries Inc. account, he decided to put some of the money in his other business.

While the investigators report talking to Longo, Procter and Mark Sapperstein, the report does not mention Moore, Glick or Warfield who were also investors in DSII, although they lived in Worcester County where the investigation was taking place, while Longo lived in Annapolis and Sapperstein in Baltimore.

While the investigators report talking to Longo, Procter and Mark Sapperstein, the report does not mention Moore, Glick or Warfield who were also investors in DSII, although they lived in Worcester County where the investigation was taking place, while Longo lived in Annapolis and Sapperstein in Baltimore. ...

Stone claims the records show that Longo provided Kinhart with a copy of a promissory note for over $53,000 payable to DSSI from Shipper's Choice Inc. for the alleged investment by Moore, Warfeild and Glick into DSII after they had seized control of the company from Stone....Longo also told Kinhart that Stone would receive his share of any money made from the invention. ...Stone's lawsuit claims that in one of the lines it clearly states, "In one year he (Longo) pulled down more federal aid in Maryland than College Park" (the University of Maryland's campus is known as College Park.)

Key to Stone's lawsuit is that in the typewritten notes from the 1994 meeting - it plainly states "complaints by Donald Stone." ...If Stone's case is true, it poses some disturbing questions, not the least of all is the way the Maryland States Attorney's office seems to be holding a "see no evil, speak no evil" attitude to possible criminal activities of Charles Longo.

I asked Stone why he felt that Howard would not testify in Longo's suit against him.

Stone replied that the 2000 people who were ripped off by Longo in the student loan program would be upset at the news. ...Stone replied, "If any of this gets out," the victims of the loan scheme would be angry that while Stone was complaining about Longo ripping him off, the state did not even bother to mention the fact they suspected Longo of stealing 8 million dollars from the student loan program. ...

But I do know that both the government and the media should be more than willing to investigate Stone's complaints about Longo.

Charles Longo is a person, who seems to have allegedly stolen from thousands of Maryland citizens, but rather than facing some sort of scrutiny by the media and law enforcement, he continues to live comfortably in an expensive house on Harbor Drive in Annapolis, Maryland.

When Longo was asked by the Washington Post about the fact he was driving a $138,000 Lamborghini sports car bought by yet another school, Longo said, "So what?You're under the misconception that we weren't entitled to make a profit ...

I'm happy to be in the United States, which gives me the opportunity to do the things I do." It is troubling to think that in the face of a disinterested press, Longo might be allowed to continue to feel that he can safely go on to set up other business deals like the one with Donald Stone Industries Inc.


...
2. Unknown to Plaintiff, DSII's attorney Gregory M. Burgee ("Burgee"), Secretary/Treasurer Bruff J. Procter ("Procter"), and alleged first investor Charles R. Longo ("Longo") were engaged in numerous fraudulent interwoven and overlapping schemes, such as money laundering and conspiracies to commit federal bankruptcy fraud, that were perpetrated by Longo, a white-collar criminal who had 2,000 documented victims in Maryland and Virginia.
...
3. In or about January 1991, Burgee, Procter, and Longo induced Plaintiff to believe that Longo was an accredited investor (an individual with an annual income of not less than $200,000.00 and a net worth of not less than $1,000,000.00) who had invested $15,000 into DSII.
...
4. Plaintiff as inventor, President, and major shareholder of controlling interest of DSII, having successfully introduced and interested numerous major "Fortune 100" and "Fortune 500" corporations in the emerging technology and inventions was unaware of Longo, Procter, Burgee, and the law firm of Miles & Stockbridge's ongoing criminal activities.
...
5. In the Fall of 1993, just as DSII was on the verge of possibly signing two (2) potentially valuable licensing agreements for the technology Plaintiff had invented, Longo and Procter, needing money to support one (1) of their rapidly-collapsing fraudulent securities schemes, conspired with three (3) DSII investors to fraudulently seize control of DSII.
...
In the first of numerous extortion attempts, Longo, Procter, and the other DSII investors threatened to have Plaintiff arrested on unspecified criminal charges unless Plaintiff capitulated to their demand to turn over DSII corporate documents in his possession.
...
6. After seizing control of DSII, Longo was made President of DSII. At that point, Longo and Procter had exclusive control of DSII's checking account.
...
7. In furtherance of their criminal conspiracy, Longo, Procter, Burgee, and Miles & Stockbridge induced three (3) investors to invest additional money in DSII.
...
Longo and Procter then embezzled a portion of this money for their personal enrichment and to finance their sale of fraudulent securities.
...
8. On or about January 12, 1994, in order to cover up their embezzlement of DSII funds and to support their rapidly-collapsing fraudulent securities scheme, Longo and Procter devised a scheme to extort Plaintiff's patent.
...
In this extortion attempt, Longo, Procter, Hal P. Glick ("Glick"), Bruce A. Moore ("Moore"), Mark Sapperstein ("Sapperstein"), and Gilbert Sapperstein ("G. Sapperstein") demanded that Plaintiff assign to DSII his patent and pending patent for the technology upon which DSII was based.
...
The investigation would not terminate until four (4) years later and would reveal Longo and his business associates' extensive white-collar criminal activities that included complex numerous interwoven and overlapping fraudulent schemes. The investigation was conducted in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., New Jersey, New York, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, and Alabama.

2. Longo, through his National Training Systems ("NTS"), which was a professional truck driver training school, had victimized approximately 2,000 (two thousand) students in Maryland and Virginia in a United States Department of Education student loan fraud scheme in the late 1980s.

3. Longo and NTS are alleged by the Maryland Attorney General's office to have defrauded NTS students of approximately $8 million in United States Department of Education student loan money.

4. In or about October 1990, Longo was indicted in Virginia on 46 (forty-six) counts of grand theft, arrested, and jailed for approximately 9 (nine) days in Maryland. Due to a technicality, the charges were dropped and Longo had records expunged.

5. By 1993, NTS in Virginia was closed as a result of numerous complaints.

6. Longo reopened in Virginia in or about 1993 under the name Shippers' Choice of Virginia. The company was registered under the name of other individuals to disguise Longo's ownership. The opening of Shippers' Choice of Virginia was financed with money Longo had obtained from an alleged securities fraud scheme.

7. In or about September 1990, NTS filed bankruptcy in Maryland, with debts of approximately $10,000,000.00 (ten million dollars), to use the protection of the bankruptcy courts against an intensifying investigation by the Maryland Attorney General's office. In connection with this bankruptcy, Longo and his associates made numerous fraudulent pre-petition and post-petition transfers of assets to defraud the NTS creditors. The NTS bankruptcy was dismissedin July 1992.

8. In or about November 1990, Longo and his wife (Linda) would jointly file personal bankruptcy in Maryland to protect themselves from personal liability with NTS and to use the protection of the bankruptcy courts against the intensifying investigation by the Maryland Attorney General's office.
...
Longo made numerous fraudulent pre-petition and post-petition transfers of assets to defraud his personal creditors. Longo and his wife would later split their case. Longo's wife's case and plan would be confirmed but Longo's case would still be open in 1997.

9. By conducting fraudulent transfers to conceal cash and material assets to defraud the creditors of both the NTS bankruptcy and his personal bankruptcy, and then diverting these assets into legitimate businesses and real estate, Longo and his associates were able to finance a new corporation as a vehicle for the furtherance of numerous fraudulent schemes.
...
12. The money from the student loan offerings was to be used by SCI, a Maryland corporation, but Longo was diverting a portion of the money to finance the start up of Shippers' Choice of Virginia.

13. Additionally, Longo is alleged to have been using money from these schemes for his personal enrichment rather than for corporate purposes.

14. Longo had personally fraudulently represented in writing to investors of these offerings that SCI was not a party to any litigation and that no litigation had been brought against SCI. At the time Longo was making these statements, SCI was operating against two (2) cease-and-desist orders from the Maryland Higher Education Department and was continually involved in litigation with the state of Maryland.

15. In or about March 1993, Michael Dennis Beck ("Beck"), an associate of Longo's involved in the alleged sale of the SCI fraudulent securities offerings, pled guilty to one (1) count of federal felony offense (wire fraud) and was incarcerated for 18 (eighteen) months on a charge unrelated to the alleged SCI securities offerings.
...
Namely, all were vehicles through which Longo and his associates engaged in fraudulent activities. With DSII, Longo and his associates would have absolute control of the potentially valuable technology and patent Plaintiff had invented and of DSII, a legitimate corporation Plaintiff had formed.

Hidden behind this legitimate corporation, Longo and his associates would further their fraudulent and federal felony activities and parlay the money and assets from their previous fraudulent schemes into an ever-expanding collection of legitimate businesses, enterprises, and real estate.
...
11. On or about January 7, 1992, Longo, Procter, Burgee, and Miles & Stockbridge induced Plaintiff (working in Florida) to believe that Longo was an accredited investor.

The investigation was conducted in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., New Jersey, New York, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, and Alabama. 2. Longo, through his National Training Systems ("NTS"), which was a professional truck driver training school, had victimized approximately 2,000 (two thousand) students in Maryland and Virginia in a United States Department of Education student loan fraud scheme in the late 1980s.

3. Longo and NTS are alleged by the Maryland Attorney General's office to have defrauded NTS students of approximately $8 million in United States Department of Education student loan money.

In connection with this bankruptcy, Longo and his associates made numerous fraudulent pre-petition and post-petition transfers of assets to defraud the NTS creditors.

The NTS bankruptcy was dismissed in July 1992. 8. In or about November 1990, Longo and his wife (Linda) would jointly file personal bankruptcy in Maryland to protect themselves from personal liability with NTS and to use the protection of the bankruptcy courts against the intensifying investigation by the Maryland Attorney General's office. Longo made numerous fraudulent pre-petition and post-petition transfers of assets to defraud his personal creditors. Longo and his wife would later split their case.

Charles Longo's wife's case and plan would be confirmed but Longo's case would still be open in 1998. 9. By conducting fraudulent transfers to conceal cash and material assets to defraud the creditors of both the NTS bankruptcy and his personal bankruptcy, and then diverting these assets into legitimate businesses and real estate, Longo and his associates were able to finance a new corporation as a vehicle for the furtherance of numerous fraudulent schemes.

10. Longo's new corporation, Shippers' Choice, Inc. ("SCI"), was another alleged "professional truck driving school" which opened in Maryland on or about September 27, 1990.

11. Beginning in or about 1992, Longo/SCI, with the assistance of Washington Investments ("WI"), a corporation engaged in investment banking, would begin selling student loans in bundled offerings of $10,000.00 (ten thousand dollars).

This alleged fraudulent securities scheme would gross Longo/SCI/WI approximately $1,325,000.00 (one million, three hundred twenty-five thousand dollars). This securities fraud scheme would collapse in late 1993/early 1994.

12. The money from the student loan offerings was to be used by SCI, a Maryland corporation, but Longo was diverting a portion of the money to finance the start up of Shippers' Choice of Virginia.

13. Additionally, Longo is alleged to have been using money from these schemes for his personal enrichment rather than for corporate purposes.

14. Longo had personally fraudulently represented in writing to investors of these offerings that SCI was not a party to any litigation and that no litigation had been brought against SCI. At the time Longo was making these statements, SCI was operating against two

In or about March 1993, Michael Dennis Beck ("Beck"), an associate of Longo's involved in the alleged sale of the SCI fraudulent securities offerings, pled guilty to one

(1) count of federal felony offense (wire fraud) and was incarcerated for 18 (eighteen) months on a charge unrelated to the alleged SCI securities offerings.
