False Allegations

On October 5th, 2004, (immediately following their voluntary chapter 11 filing) the debtor falsely claimed that the creditor had violated the automatic stay and had evicted forty families. Although totally fabricated in a major conspiracy to commit fraud with Friedman Catering, a Canadian religious organization, and the creditors were able to provide documentary and photographic evidence to refute this blatantly fraudulent claim, the court did not even consider the evidence at hand.
Judge Cornelius Blackshear, subsequently ordered a punitive, and completely inadequate protection. There have not been any legal consequences for this debtor in making such false allegations.

Here we are yet again! He got away with perjury before so why should he worry about being truthful? On June 25th 2007, Jack Lefkowitz filed a sworn affidavit stating that on June 22nd, 2007 we entered the property: "Furthermore, plaintiff Mateh Ephraim's injunction is even more urgent because the defendant Irene Griffin's husband came upon the property on the afternoon of Friday June 22, 2007 and announced to all that the premises must be vacated by Monday, June 25, 2007 and that a security fence would be installed to bar the plaintiff and all of its guests and invitees from entering the premises. Accordingly, this creates a dangerous and volatile situation that must be defused.

Out & Out Perjury! Irene & I departed for Harrisburg, PA on June 21st, right after an appearance in bankruptcy court, and returned on the afternoon of Monday, June 25th. (We have witnesses,
cellular telephone records and pictorial evidence in support!) The plaintiff/debtor has, over the past four years leveled many reckless, unsubstantiated, and legally false allegations, and further perjured himself in support of those allegations. He has yet to be held accountable, or even challanged for that matter! Thus, he continues to do so without impediment. Item 15 makes further inflammatory allegations that when taken collectively the implication is that I am a loose cannon posing a threat to the peaceful occupancy by "more than 100 children and at least 30 adult staff." I take this very seriously as it is now a documented allegation that is designed to defame me, to cast suspicion upon my character, and ultimately to prejudice the court against me. I believe that I have demonstrated exemplary restraint throughout this ordeal being perpetrated by a criminal psychopath!

In his sworn affidavit, item 15, Lefkowitz further swears:
On June 22, 2007, defendant Griffin's husband appeared on the property informing plaintiff that plaintiff had to vacate the premises by Monday, June 25, 2007 or that defendant was going to be erecting a security fence to keep plaintiff off the premises. That timing was deliberate and intended to be inflammatory because the defendant knew that on Wednesday June27, 2007, more than 100 children and at least 30 adult staff were due to arrive for the summer camp session.

Irene & I departed for Harrisburg, PA immediately following the bankruptcy court appearance at
One Bowling Green, 6th FL, New York, NY 10004
on June 21st, and remained there until Monday, June 25th. Furthermore, this affidavit is our first understanding of the impending arrival of more than 100 children and at least 30 adults on June 27th!
