We discussed a mortgage fraud story yesterday that didn't make any sense to either us or the poor guy that got arrested. The story came to us in the form of an email and got our curiosity going so we went down to the Miami Dade County Criminal courthouse to see what was in the case file in order to get a better understanding of what the case was about. Unfortunately after reading the arrest affidavit, we got more confused. See for yourselves, as always, click on the image for a larger view...
Let's break it down...
On the above date, the victims advised that they attended a closing for the sale of their home located at 610 NW 184 Terr at HRH title service. The victims stated that they contacted the Co-Def in regards to helping them sell their home. At some point during the sales process, the Co-Def approached the Def and asked if the company he works at was interested in this mortgage transaction. The def (stated during previous interview) that he could not get the loan approved by his lender so he referred the Co-Def to another Co-Def (mortgage broker) at Syracuse Capital Management.
Ok, the report identifies a Defendant (the man who's email we discussed yesterday) and then identifies two co defendants, one that could possibly be a realtor (who else would help the victims sell their home?) while the other co defendant is identified as being a "mortgage broker".
The def stated at the previous interview that he was paid $1500.00 by the Co-Def (Syracuse Capital Management) for sending him this fraudulent mortgage transaction. The interview was stopped and the Def was advised of his Miranda Rights at which time he decided he wanted an attorney.
There's nothing wrong with a broker getting a commission for referring a loan, it happens all the time. Why the hell would this trigger the Detective to Mirandize the poor guy? Why the hell shouldn't he ask for an attorney at this point?! Oh, I forgot how our favorite mortgage fraud detective responds to people "lawyering up"!
When the victims arrived at the closing on November 15, 2007, also present at the closing was the Def and the Co-Def's, they were presented with paperwork stating that the house was selling for $280,000. Once the victim questioned the Co-Def in regards to the fraudulently inflated sales price of the home the Co-def stated not to worry because you are getting what you wanted for your house ($160,000).
This is starting to sound a little hokey right around here.
After the paperwork was signed, the Co-Def instructed the Def and Co-Def to accompany the victim to his bank and to obtain two checks from the fraudulently obtained proceeds. The Co-Def stated to the Def and Co-Def to make sure that one of the two checks that would be obtained from the victim could not be traced back to "PETER" The Co-Def then asked who would be taking the second victim to the bank at which time another Co-Def stated that he would be.
Have you all started to cry yet? Can you understand what the hell is going on here? If we're reading right, we now have the Defendant, Co-Def who was helping the victims sell their home (perhaps a realtor?), a second co-def (who may have been previously referenced as the "mortgage broker"?), a third Co-Def who is simply referred to as "another Co-Def" and a fourth person simply referred to as "Peter". Moving along...
The victims advised that the Def & Co-Def's followed them to their respective banks in order to have them withdraw $50,265.84 that was obtained, via a wire transfer of $109,307.41, from HRH Title Service. When the Def & Co-Def's arrived at the banks with the victims the funds were available and the victims withdrew the money. One victim had it split into two different checks. Both checks were made payable to the Co-Def on in the amount of $28,000 and other for $22,265.84. Upon receiving the checks from the victim the Def & Co-Def left the bank.
Ok, so defendant so far has followed one of the two "victims" to a bank while a Co-Def picked up two checks totaling $50,265.84.
The second victim stated that she provided another Co-Def with one check from her bank for $50,265.84. That Co-Def then left the bank. The Co-Def deposited both checks he received into an account at another bank bearing his name.
The victim provides a check for $50,265.84 to ANOTHER Co-Def?! HUH?! Now I'm really confused, let's take a quick inventory of the people involved in this report. Here we go:
1- Victim #1 who was selling their half of their marital home. 2- Victim #2 who was selling their half of their marital home. 3- Defendant, this is the man that was the subject of this arrest affidavit and who emailed us his story. 4- Co-Defendant #1 who was "helping the victims sell their home", perhaps a realtor. 5- Co-Defendant #2 who was identified as being a "mortgage broker" 6- Co-Defendant #3 he's not identified, we have no idea what his role was. 7- A man simply identified as "Peter". 8- Co-Defendant #4 the man who was given a check by the victims for $50,265.84.
One of these Co Defendants (not #8) received two checks totaling $50,265.84. Ok, is that clear? Does that make sense?
What in the fcuk is that ?! Can anyone make any sense of that affidavit?! We've identified at least six "defendants" in this report, we know one was the man who was the subject of the report, so accoring to that narrative there should be at least five other people labled as Co Defendants on the report right? Let's take a look...
WHAT?! Just one other Co Defendant?! WTF is this $hit?! Can any of our esteemed readers figure out what the hell is going on in this case? Does it sound plausable that the "victims" just handed over $100,531.68 just for $hits and grins? Even worse, from what we've been able to find, the only person arrested in this case was the poor guy who denied the loan and referred it to another mortgage company!
Hey pride and joy of the Mortgage Fraud Task Force, Detective Jorge Baluja, WHAT ABOUT ARRESTING THE BUYER WHO HAD TO BE IN ON THIS "FRAUD"!? What about the mortgage broker? How about arresting the guy who deposited the $100,531.68 from the "victims" in his bank account?! What about investigating a possible link between the buyer and the seller?! Or even better, if there was a realtor involved (or as you describe him in your report the man who was "helping the victims sell their home") wouldn't they have some explaining to do about why the sales price went from $160,000 to $280,000? After all, the REALTORS SIGNATURE HAD TO HAVE BEEN ON THE CONTRACT! WTF?!
Can you believe this $hit?! While the leaders of the Mortgage Fraud Task Force are giving their press conferences, holding their meetings and hyping their achievements, who the hell is watching what their underlings are doing? In this case their detectives arrested a poor guy and permanently altered the course of his life with this arrest affidavit that doesn't even make sense! How many times do you have to read this incoherent document before you realize that it's author must have been either drunk or stoned when they were writing it?! Does it seem like the Detective investigating this transaction had any idea what he was doing? Before we get all carried away and blow a gasket, let's not forget that the author was none other than Detective Jorge Baluja...
Enough of that for now. Based on our blog comments from the last two days and some anonymous emails we've received, it seems like there is a major shake up going on in the command staff of the MDPD. We learned last week that Major Bernie Gonzalez from the MDPD Training Bureau abruptly and unexpectedly retired. The Herald broke the news about the Chief of the Centralized Services Division, Frank Vecin being demoted and our sources (unconfirmed as of yet) have told us that MDPD Chief Legal Counsel Glenn Theobald has also abruptly retired. Now we're hearing rumors of Assistant Director Oscar Vigoa being shown the door as well and some no nonsense Feds from DC overseeing an investigation into how money in the MDPD has been spent over the last few years. What's going on at the MDPD? At the very least it looks like Director James Loftus is cleaning house and is wasting no time doing so. We're waiting with bated breath for updates on the shake up at the PD and will update the blog accordingly.
We've learned over the last several months that people in law enforcement and the state attorneys office have the ability to destroy peoples lives, some innocent and some not. Check this comment from yesterdays post...
"Forced out of your job? Check.
Humiliated in front of peers? Check.
Career destroyed? Check.
Disgraced in front of friends and family? Check.
Dreams and ambitions annihilated? Check.
This is what this lot did to me, isn't karma a bitch?"
We can only imagine what the story was behind that comment. You have to wonder, does the cop building a case against you take into consideration the consequences of his actions when they make an arrest, especially on a weak case? Could they fathom the irreparable damage that they're going to inflict on their subject? Let's take a look at this comment emailed to us a few weeks back to get a better understanding of the consequences. we've broken up the email with a little commentary...
"Hey I just discovered your blog the other day and love it."
Why, thank you.
"My name is _____________ and I was arrested for Mortgage Fraud and the crazy part is I never committed fraud. But they still "had enough to arrest me"."
We've removed the commenters name to maintain his anonimity.
"Long story short they took me in thinking I was going to be questioned in regards to a case where the lender I use to work for blew the whistle on fraud. Instead they started asking me questions in regards to a loan I denied and referred out because my lender was only doing Full Doc loans. I referred it to a broker that use to rent in our building and he actually gave me a little "finders fee of $500"."
Ok, nothing wrong with that.
"Turns out the seller of the house is the one that actually committed fraud because they gave money back to the buyer without letting anyone know and apparently the seller helped the buyer shop around for a mortgage so they can sell their house to a family member and get some cash out of it."
Wait a minute! Is he saying the person who claimed to be the victim was actually involved in the fraud!? Where have we heard this before?!
"I can keep going and going in regards to this so called Mortgage Fraud Task Force where they have no clue what they are doing."
"My lender handed this task force a case where we as a lender did our due diligence and had depositions with the borrower, title company all the players involved admitting to fraud in a civil case and then we later turned it in to criminally prosecute the players. These dumb asses came to our office and had no clue what the hell they were doing but yet they supposedly have enough evidence to arrest you and detain you."
"In My case I was arrested and treated like a criminal I was given the whole there's no room for parole and you are going to jail unless you start giving up the players in the transaction in question. I never answered their questions other than I denied the loan and I was actually paid a $500 referral fee off the books. At the end of the day this Baluja guy that I never even met signed the arrest affidavit and decided to take me in."
WHAT? Did we hear right?! This BALUJA GUY?! Could that be right?!
"Guess what charges were dropped within 2 weeks. They never returned any of my attorney's phone calls or any interrogatories she had."
"After all that bullshit talk and threatening me and scaring me these assholes have made my life a living hell. I stayed with my company after the arrest because they knew that these cops were complete morons and clowns. We would blow the whistle on fraud cases they said they would do their investigation and they will always come back saying they can't find any evidence or the would start questioning the owners of the company as if they committed a crime."
"They decided to put my face in the news, newspaper and it is still on their website. I lost business because of that, my clients that didn't know me too well would send their business somewhere else. I had a baby girl since then and it has been tough getting a job. If you think it is tough out there to get a job try getting one with a mortgage fraud, grand theft, and intent to defraud charge on your record and terrible credit because I lost alot of business. I have never been in trouble with the law in my life. I have my 215 (health, life and annuities license) and I was just given the ok to take my real estate exam all I have to do is pass. I obviously had to disclose my arrest record along with original copies of the arrest report and they all looked at it and laughed."
Damn shame, it really sucks when your name is out in the media, isn't it BALUJA GUY?
"I agree with you 100% these guys have no clue what they are doing and I have always wondered how the hell can they make up all this stuff on my arrest report so they can get enough to get a warrant and arrest me."
"Just wanted to share with you my experience I'm not looking for notoriety and prove how screwed up this mortgage fraud task force is. If you need anything in my case or have any questions I will be glad to answer them. I just want the general public to know that these detectives are looking for notoriety to flex their fake ass muscles."
"Anything you need let me know remember I'm not looking for any public recognition, I am still job hunting and just want this to all go away. Keep up the good work on the blog. I wrote this pretty quick so my grammar may not be the greatest but you get the point."
No worries. Good luck with the job hunting.
The question we have to ask is while the task force board is running around posing for photos, giving interviews and hyping their creation, who's watching whats going on on the street? Why are the detectives in the Mortgage Fraud Task Force so poorly trained? In the case of our commenter's story, he was able to bring resolution to his case because there was a competent and impartial assistant state attorney who reviewed the Detectives work and found that there was no basis for the arrest. That wasn't the case with the ASA involved in the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud case, but at least now our readers can see how an impartial and competent ASA is supposed to behave.
Now that this poor mans life is ruined because of another instance of sloppy police work, how can things be made right again? Who's going to put the genie back in the bottle? Why is telling these stories left to some mediocre blog on the last page of the internet? How can this level of police incompetence be allowed to destroy peoples lives? We're off to the courthouse to pull up the file on this case, we'll discuss tomorrow.
Say it ain't so!!! That's right, Glenn Theobald, chief legal counsel for the MDPD and the creator and head of the MDPD Mortgage Fraud Task force is in hot water over the misspending of monies set aside by the federal government in a trust fund for the MDPD to go after people committing environmental crimes. We learned a few weeks ago that Mr. Theobald had authorized the purchase of some rather strange items that I suppose the MDPD intended to use for the purpose of fighting environmental crime, when he was called to task for authorizing the trust fund money to be spent on these items, he made a quick about face in the form of a memo rescinding a previous memo where he OK'd the purchases:
"This memorandum rescinds the previous opinion regarding your memo to this writer...trust fund monies in the account can only be used to further environmental investigations...A direct nexus with the expenditure and the furtherance of environmental investigations is required...Any other interpretation was mistaken due to the information provided at the time the memorandum was presented."
I suppose that wasn't good enough, since both Mr. Theobald and the man that was the head of the MDPD environmental crimes investigation unit, Frank Vecin were both reassigned from their posts by MDPD Director James Loftus last week (according to Jim DeFede of WFOR). What difference does it make to us? In the case of Mr. Vecin, it makes none, but what about Mr. Theobald, the head of the Mortgage Fraud Task Force and the MDPD chief legal counsel? Where does he go? Let's see what an online source tells us regarding this matter...
"Theobald will be gone in 30 days. He was allowed to retire in lieu of a demotion as the Major of Crime Scene."
OH SNAP! While that statement should be considered nothing more than rumor at this point, it certainly does sound plausible. If indeed it is true, we're sure the MDPD will quickly find another attorney to fill his spot as chief legal counsel, but who's going to take over his position as the head of the Mayors Mortgage Fraud Task Force?! After all, the task force was Mr. Theobald's pet project, the vehicle with which he gained national press coverage. So what now? Who's going to be the new leader of the "Fraud Squad"?
Considering how the top brass at the MDPD misspent the millions of dollars set aside for the prosecution of environmental crimes, what's going to happen with the $50,000,000 of federal money that the Mortgage Fraud Task Force was supposed to get over the next five years? From what we've read, Mr. Theobald has been lobbying Uncle Sam incessantly over the last three years for tens of millions of dollars of funding for his Mortgage Fraud Task Force, you have to wonder considering what's gone on with the green fund money if anyone has looked into how the mortgage fraud money has been spent?
Our hats are off to the new director of the MDPD, Mr. James Loftus for getting to the bottom of this mess and taking swift action. It's about time the citizens of Dade county had someone in the PD that was serious about cleaning up corruption within the department. Consider for a moment though, since we started our story, the lead detective in one of our mortgage fraud stories get's taken off a headline case and demoted to auto theft, a veteran economic crimes prosecutor get's taken off the same headline case and now, the head of the Mayor's heralded Mortgage Fraud task force may have lost his job. Strange times.
We talked about the MDPD misspending federal monies set aside in a trust fund created for the sole purpose investigating environmental crimes a few weeks back. Monies spent on SUV's, Iphones, assault rifles and tens of thousands of dollars in travel expenses, but now comes this bombshell, a SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR MOBILE TOILET! You have to wonder what such a thing looks like, maybe its got gold plated toilets like what disgraced attorney and ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein had in his home?
Jim DeFede did an excellent job covering the story here. We found the following quote from his story most interesting...
Miami-Dade Police is paying for this 24-foot-long rest room with money from a special trust fund which is only supposed to be used to investigate environmental crimes.
As the CBS4 I-TEAM previously reported, the Inspectors General Offices for both Miami-Dade County and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are examining how the department is using those funds.Why would the police department need to build their own five-ton roving restroom and shower trailer, After all the county has standing contracts to rent that sort of equipment when the need arises. But the police official responsible for overseeing the trust fund has repeatedly been refusing our request for an interview.
That certainly doesn't sound good. I can't imagine considering the economic crisis our county is in, how anyone could have justified such an expenditure.
Moving along, check out this article from 15 years ago, a 77 year old man that was being prosecuted drops dead while waiting for Assistant State Attorney Kostrzewski to try him, his defense attorney makes a statement about his deceased client to the press basically saying he was the fall guy for other people he was doing business with. Now, the reporter asks Mr. Kostrzewski for a comment and what does he do? Does he bow out gracefully? Does he pay his respects to the man he was prosecuting and say something befitting his role as a representative of the State Attorneys Office? Check it...
Get him Bill! Maybe you can nail him in the afterlife! Who cares, the guy is DEAD NOW! WHAT FCUKING DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? Why make this kind of comment now after he's passed away?! I think that comment says it all, this is just another example of the fabric that Assistant State Attorney Bill Kostrzewski is made of.
Bad news for Michelle Spence-Jones and her supporters, she was indicted yesterday by a grand jury on charges of bribery which essentially kills her chances of being reinstated to her seat as a commissioner. The grand jury also indicted Spence-Jones with grand theft, the same charges that were pressed against her last year, essentially closing up a loophole (IMO) that would have allowed her to regain her seat on the commission. As I understand it, as long as Spence-Jones was charged by information rather than by indictment, she would have been allowed to regain her seat until she was convicted. Francisco Alvarado of the Miami New Times broke the story here.
Suspended Miami city commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones is facing more criminal charges. A Miami-Dade grand jury indicted Spence-Jones on one count of bribery.
She is accused of soliciting money from MDM Hotel Group, Inc., the developers of the Metropolitan Miami office and residential complex, and the Codina Group Inc., for her vote to extend the name of Brickell Avenue further north along SE Second Avenue.
According to a press release from Miami-Dade State Attorney Katharine Fernandez-Rundle, after a contentious March 23, 2006 city commission meeting wherein the name extension was deferred to the next commission meeting for a final vote, Spence-Jones demanded $25,000 and "ultimately deposited those funds into an account accessible to Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones."
The grand jury also formally charged Spence-Jones with grand theft, for which she had been previously charged via information on November 13, 2009.
What we found most interesting though was the coverage from WSVN where State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle is quoted as saying:
"She's going to be offered an opportunity, like everyone else, to surrender. Her lawyer has been contacted by our office to see if they want to make that surrender,"
Of course she's going to be allowed to surrender, why wouldn't she? After all, we all remember when Judge Beatrice Butchko scolded ASA Scruggs on the way the Pastor Gaston Smith arrests went down and then gave her opinion on surrenders and white collar crimes don't we? In case you've forgotten, here it is again...
"It is clear that law enforcement has the absolute right upon probable cause to make the arrest, whatever arrest they feel warranted, but it does not fair well with the defense, when they are having communications that leave rise to a possible delay, a chance to further negotiate, or at least a surrender of the client, that without advanced warning, the client is arrested on the streets, when it's common knowledge in white collar cases that these clients surrender, so that, not professional, lawful, yes, not professional, and you're dealing with a white collar offense.
I have heard no evidence of flight risk, of danger to the community in terms of violence, and a man who is a pastor, who's respected by a lot of people in the community, maybe not the police in this case, not well done, and then he has to sit in the police car for a few hours because he wants to give keys to his wife, I think that could have been done in a more elegant fashion as well."
You all know by now how we feel about the subject of "surrender" when it comes to people that are charged with white collar crimes that ARE NOT FLIGHT RISKS. So we ask again Assistant State Attorney Kostrzewski, why he did order the arrests of the defendants in the Bernardo Barrera mortgage fraud to happen in such an undignified, unprofessional manner? The simple practice of allowing people to surrender themselves, a courtesy that not only Judge Butchko deems a common practice in white collar crimes but now we have your BOSS who agrees, so WTF were you thinking?
We know what Mr. Kostrzewski was thinking, these were the actions of a desperate man, a man who has no concept of dignity or professional conduct, we'll prove our point tomorrow.
So we're reviewing yesterdays post in preparation for today's story when something struck us as strange. No, it wasn't the fact that both Pastor Gaston Smith and Micheal Martinez were both accused of stealing nearly the same amount of money and it wasn't the fact that although their crimes were similar their punishments didn't seem fair. So what was it? After reading the plea agreement between Mr. Martinez and the state (prepared by non other than ASA Bill Kostrewski) , there was one element that bothered me. From item number 6 the plea agreement:
...defendant shall make payments of not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00) per month to victim Citi Mortgage, Inc., or to its successor(s), or, in the event that Citi Mortgage, Inc., is reimbursed for its loss by title insurance, to its insurer of title.
What's the big deal you say? After all, Citi Mortgage is insured not only for mortgages that default but also for errors that may have occurred during the closing by the closing agent. Fine, SO WHAT? We couldn't put our finger on it, but somehow something about that statement got our wheels turning, then it dawned on me. Does anyone think that during the course of the Bernardo Barrera Mortgage Fraud investigation anyone from the MDPD Mortgage Fraud Task Force or the Economic Crimes Bureau of the State Attorneys Office contacted the "insurer of title" aka the title insurance company? I mean, after all these people know the ins and outs of real estate transactions better than anyone else don't they? Wouldn't these be the people that you would want to consult with in building this kind of case, especially since they're involved with the case? Surely if the lead detective in the investigation didn't contact the title insurance company, "veteran economic crimes prosecutor" Bill Kostrzewski must have right? Who knows for sure whether or not they did (we doubt it) but rest assured in an effort to leave no stone unturned, we here at the Straw Buyer contacted the title insurance company's legal counsel. HUH?!
Very nice! Anyone think that Detective Baluja or ASA Kostrzewski ever contacted the title insurance company or their lawyers regarding the Barrera mortgage fraud? Considering that opinion from one of their attorneys, perhaps they did and didn't like what they heard about their "Victim"? Can you imagine that conversation? Perhaps a little trouble understanding what's obvious?
Should anyone be surprised? Just another example of how poor the investigation and subsequent prosecution of this case has been, only now we're beginning to see that the blame isn't all on the shoulders of Detective Baluja, perhaps more of the blame rests on "veteran economic crimes prosecutor" Kostrzewski. Nice going Bill.
Granted Pastor Smith is a public figure that abused the public trust given to him by his community, but don't lose site of the fact that Mr. Martinez made his $10,000 through the heinous crime of MORTGAGE FRAUD, a crime so rampant here in South Florida that they had to form a special task force just to combat it. With that in mind, one must wonder what kind of punishment veteran economic crimes prosecutor Bill Kostrzewski gave Mr. Martinez, let's take a look at that plea agreement...
Nice! It sounds harsh doesn't it? Take a look at #2:
2. The Court shall adjudicate defendant guilty and shall sentence defendant to two (2) years of Community Control, followed by three (3) years probation.
OUCH! Look at #3
3. As a condition precedent to this agreement, defendant shall pay stipulated investigative costs to the Miami-Dade Police Department, Economic Crimes Bureau, in the amount of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
YES! $1,000 to the MDPD for all their hard work, moving on...
4. As a condition precedent to this agreement defendant shall pay stipulated investigative costs of prosecution to the Office of the State Attorney for the 11th Judicial Circuit in the amount of one thousand hundred dollars ($1,000.00).
Sure, why not let the SAO get reimbursed for all the hours Mr. Kostrzewski spent on this case?!
5.As a special condition of Community Control and probation, defendant shall perform one hundred (100) hours of Community Service at a rate of not less than eight (8) hours per month, as directed by the Department of Corrections.
Community service! Right on. Last but not least...
6. Defendant agrees that he is responsible for stipulated restitution in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00) payable to Citi Mortgage, Inc. As a special condition of Community Control and probation, defendant shall make payments of not less than five hundred dollars ($500.00) per month to victim Citi Mortgage, Inc., or to its successor(s), or, in the event that Citi Mortgage, Inc., is reimbursed for its loss by title insurance, to its insurer of title.
COOL! Even Citi Mortgage gets their money back! All bases covered I guess. That's pretty harsh, perhaps equally as harsh as what Pastor Smith got. No matter how you cut it, it looks like Mr. Martinez is going to do 5 years worth of probation, but then comes this...
9. As a condition of Community Control, defendant may not petition the Court for conversion of Community Control to probation until the defendant has successfully
completed six (6) months of Community Control and is current in his payment of restitution, cost of supervision and his community service hours. Also as a condition of probation, defendant may not request early termination of probation for two (2) years from the date of this agreement and only if the defendant has successfully completed his requisite Community Control and probation, and has fully paid his restitution and satisfied his community service obligation and cost of supervision. Defendant agrees to extend the term of his probation to the statutory maximum to insure full payment of his restitution obligation.
In other words, if Mr. Martinez pays his restitution and is behaving, he can have the Community Control converted to regular probation and then if he fullfills his obligations under this agreement, he can petition the court to end his probation in just TWO YEARS! Fantastic. I wonder, did Pastor Smith get the same kind of deal? Some deterent to people commiting Mortgage Fraud Mr. Kostrzewski. Nice job.
I read a story in the Miami Herald on October 7, 2008 regarding a mortgage fraud case that didn't make any sense to me, I did a little digging and what I found left me stunned. A tale of megalomaniacal task force head whose political ambitions have run amuck, a detective without a modicum of common sense, a reporter that prints anything that's put in front of him, the railroading of an attorney by this machine to further the ambitions of its head and the lengths that those involved will go to in order to salvage a case that should have never been.
Please take the time to start from the oldest post first and enjoy...
