Immaculate Deception

"Shine The Light"
To Whom It May Concern:
Please examine the abuse within our bankruptcy courts by "wealthy debtors" (oxymoron) who destroy "mom & pop" creditors. With barely a backward glance and with the complicity (or apathy) of our courts, these hit and run criminals claim "the process was served," while the mangled corpses of small businesses and mom & pops are left writhing in the wake of this fiscal tsunami.

"Not For Profit" Religious Congregation Hijacks Bankruptcy Courts..."For Profit!"
Remarks by:

FBI Director Robert Mueller: "Has it gotten that bad-that people believe such deceptions and crimes are just the normal way of doing business?"

Attorney General Eric Holder: July 22, 2009, "Criminal enterprises and terrorist networks continue to misuse our financial system for nefarious purposes. We can and we must do more."

Is It Justice? Or...Just Us!

Like most of the Maddoff victims, my wife, Irene and I have joined the ranks of senior citizens, and everything for which we have worked during the past forty years has been taken from us. (Including our B&B home, and sole source of income.  Awarded "Star Of The Industry" 2006 by NYS Tourism and Hospitality.") However, unlike the Maddoff victims, we are like the tree that fell in the woods...is anybody listening?

  My research has uncovered twelve pages of court dockets regarding the "serial bankruptcy filings" of this debtor and his co-conspirators, a rabbi, a religious congregation, and their attorneys, Backenroth, Frankel and Krinsky, LLP  We have filed for  sanctions (pdf) We have also filed a complaint (pdf) with Chief Counsel:Alan W. Friedburg of The New York State Departmental Disciplinary Committee For The First Department, However Mr. Friedburg has notified us that he will not be investigating! So much for the illusion of protections.

The debtor and his co-conspirators (listed below) in this case could and should have been stopped long ago. His business is bankruptcy fraud! This is what he does and how he "acquires" other people's property! He has done it many times before. He has also filed suit against the US Government for $200,000,000.00 relating to the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center where he had offices. His deposition in our case makes some extremely disrespectful and insensitive remarks about the 9/11 attacks! The court dockets are overflowing with his exploits. Jack Lefkowitz has numerous voluntary chapter 11 frauds to his name. Links on my web site: http://www.griffin-house.com/faithbasedfraud/  He has deep pockets for litigation, (five years in our case) but none to pay his debts. He owns real estate in Manhattan, including 27 North Moore St. Luxury Condos, investigated by NYS Attorney General. His partners in that venture also accused him of fraud. As far as I can tell, we are the first ones ever to force him into a chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, it seems that his deep pockets are not without influence.

 Collectively, these co-conspirators are a syndicate of economic terrorists with intimate connections to several multi-million dollar frauds: Crazy Eddies Bankruptcy, 47th Street Photo Bankruptcy and Allou Bankruptcy, involving Fraud, Arson, Bribery, Money Laundering, etc. The entire case, in the instance presented here has at its very genesis a major fraud. The filings were in the name of a non-existent corporation. The fraud is blatant and compounding, and according to bankruptcy law, it must be reported to the US Attorney. However, Judge Cornelius Blackshear (Retired) chose to ignore the overwhelming evidence of fraud presented to him. The debtors and their attorneys enjoyed a long, and "cozy" relationship with Judge Cornelius Blackshear of the Southern District of New York. The debtor's lead attorney, Abraham Backenroth had clerked for Judge Blackshear! This case didn't even belong in Judge Blackshear's Court since our property, to which they gained occupancy by manner of a fraud, was located in an entirely different judicial district. (Sullivan County) Thus, the "debtors" (LOL!) were able to gain four years of occupancy on our property by virtue of the following:
  1. Defraud: Fraudulently gaining occupancy of the creditor's property
  2. Distract: from their fraudulent filings and schedules,
  3. Divert: with extraneous issues and false allegations
  4. Delay: through adjournments, and convoluted process
  5. Deny: creditor access to, or income from their own property
  6. Deplete: creditor's resources and force them into
  7. Default: thus gaining ownership of the property through straw buyers at a consequential foreclosure.
These Economic Terrorists: have demonstrated a total disregard and contempt for "outsiders" and for our justice system. They pay homage to an entirely different judicial dynamic. (Evidenced by their own depositions) Their tentacles are far reaching and their impact threatens each and every American. For the sake of past and future victims, they need to be exposed for the evil that they do, with the complicity (or apathy) of our courts.


Yours Sincerely,

Paul Griffin
