Widespread Corruption In The Federal Bankruptcy Courts

Bankruptcy Court Corruption In Memphis
Bankruptcy Judge Jeannie Latta is reported to discharge African American attorneys representing chapter 11 debtors, stating that they are not experienced enough.
There are cases reported to us that demonstrate a pattern in chapter 11 cases filed by debtors owning businesses that are not incorporated, as in having publicly traded stock. It appears questionable why debtors owning companies file payment plans providing 100 percent payment of their debts. However, these debtors report having assets tied up in real estate or otherwise having bad cash flow and needing time to pay creditors. They develop a plan to liquidate property to pay off creditors, but find that their cases are converted to chapter 7 by United States Trustees or bankruptcy judges. After conversion, the chapter 7 trustees "pillage" debtor's personal property and real estate, selling some to "insiders." It is also reported that some of the property taken by trustees is not included on the inventory list. Bankruptcy judges disregard all objections and oppositions, and side with the trustees, effectively giving color and claim of official right to theft and embezzlement.
While it is common to have attorneys for debtors withdraw from cases, another pattern is developing where Bankruptcy Judges discharge those attorneys who zealously represent their clients, even when the party is not the debtor. This leaves parties without legal representation. In a system that allows foreclosure or sale of the debtor's residence, coupled by other problems such as beginning the "fresh start" as a pauper, debtors without legal representation cannot keep up with the documents filed by trustees, and orders entered by bankruptcy judges. Some attempt to proceed pro se, only to find that they are held accountable for the judges and/or trustees violation of federal law, on the basis that they did not file oppositions or appeal orders.
Appeals are practically impossible. If debtors should appeal pro se, they find their appeals are generally dismissed on technicalites or on the basis of "doctrines." (For more on how "doctrines" deprive litigants of due process of law, read the report under Articles titled, Bankruptcy - Illegal Slavery)
The following is one case demonstrating this pattern.
The debtor reports that Bankruptcy Judge Jeannie D. Latta, in the bankruptcy court for the Western District of Tennessee, made statements on the Record that there are no African American attorneys experienced enough to practice chapter 11 in Memphis. The case was converted to a chapter 7 by the U.S. Trustee. Then Judge Latta denied the discharge. After denying the discharge, the Judge entered orders allowing the trustee to remove everything from the debtor's home. Reportedly, Judge Latta stated to the debtor that she would not allow him to use the bankruptcy court to stop foreclousure on his properties.
Funny. Attorneys advertise to file bankruptcy to stop foreclosure and "keep your house and car." Such ads are commonplace.
Numerous cases have been reported to us where the discharge was denied, or revoked, or the case dismissed, but bankruptcy judges continue to exercise jurisdiction over debtors to allow trustees to continue liquidating assets and for turnover of property.
Based on information and belief, not one attorney representing debtors in such cases can cite statute giving legal right to bankruptcy trustees to "liquidate" assets for the benefit of creditors AFTER the discharge is denied, or waived, or revoked, or the case dismissed.
The Bankruptcy Code is silent on the duties of trustees after a discharge is denied, waived, or revoked. When there is no discharge, debtors are responsible for paying their creditors. When there is no discharge, creditors may pursue legal options in the state court. However, trustees continue to exercise authority and control over "property of the estate." Creditors sue debtors, rather than suing trustees who continue to control debtors' assets.
The debtor in this subject case reports that the chapter 7 trustee shut down his business, thereby cutting off his income. The debtor says that the trustee brought U.S. Marshalls to the debtor's home and "looted" the premises, taking property that belonged to the non-debtor spouse. Reportedly, the debtor video taped the trustee and U.S. Marshalls removing property that later, was omitted on the trustee's inventory list.
The debtor states, "The looting was so profitable that the first United States Trustee, Ellen Vergos, resigned her position and went to work for the attorneys that illegally foreclosed on my business. These attorneys were originally my personal and business attorneys before they decided to quit working for me and went to work for the creditors of my business and used confidential and proprietary information to illegally and fraudulently foreclose on my business."
The following is a press release by the debtor. This family is seeking honest, zealous legal representation.
URGENT PRESS RELEASE
SERIOUS FEDERAL OFFICIAL CORRUPTION IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
On the early morning of October 28, 2004, Larry and Marilyn Conway were startled and shocked by the shrill sound of their alarm and the fierce rumbling noise of burglars breaking into their home. They quickly locked their bedroom door hoping the police would arrive soon. They were in fear of their lives. Suddenly they heard a voice call out, “We are the United States Marshals, we know you are in here, so if you have a weapon you better let us know now!!!). We yelled back “why are you in our home?” They said they were accompanied by “United States Trustee, Preston Wilson”, and they “have a Writ of Entry Order from Bankruptcy Judge Jeannie Latta that was issued on October 25, 2004 to enter into your home by force to seize all your assets”. We immediately asked them to “get out of our home”, they refused and stated, “we are not leaving until we have removed everything from this house”.
We are wealthy African Americans with an extensive collection of fine art, antiques and an extensive museum quality, African art collection, worth 3 to 5 million dollars. Now to our horror and shock, the officially corrupt, Federal Bankruptcy Judge Jeannie Latta has gone criminally and racist insane, way beyond her lawful authority, jurisdiction and powers and issued an extortion under color of official right, illegal and unconstitutional Order to Confiscate and Seize all the Property and Assets in our home, almost ten months after the dismissal and denial of discharge of Mr. Larry Conway’s individual case from her corrupt court. This officially corrupt, Bankruptcy Judge, Jeannie Latta has absolutely no respect for the law, constitutional rights and no jurisdiction over Mr. or Mrs. Conway, whatsoever, she has no legal authority, to order United States Marshals to break into any United States Citizens home by armed force.
NOW, drunk with her criminal abuse of Power, and racist venom, fraudulent Chapter 7 Trustee, P. Preston Wilson with the illegal and unconstitutional assistance of armed United States Marshals, John Roebuck and John Roebuck & Associates with moving trucks, went into a looting frenzy, burglarizing our home. These armed robbers were confiscating and seizing every thing in sight, even our refrigerators, freezers, refrigerated coolers, dishes, china, silverware, glasses, washing machine, dryers, mirrors off the bathroom walls, bedroom suites, sheets, pillowcases, televisions, VCRS, video recorders, cameras, stereos, speakers, binoculars, lamps, office furniture, as well as all our fine art, Museum quality African Art, decorative art, antiques, antique pool table and other furnishings.
They dumped all our food, books, business files, clothing and anything that they could not use on the floor, maliciously attempting to leave us destitute, while they held us hostage with guns in our bedroom. Even if there was a real and legitimate bankruptcy liquidation case and there is not, our personal property would have been mandatory exempt under state law from any seizures and confiscations.
At that very moment we realized, that as African Americans, living in Memphis, Tennessee, we were an endangered species, being reduced to impoverishment and slavery without constitutional or human rights, under siege, being openly and notoriously, officially oppressed by this gang of criminal racketeers and their illegal and unconstitutional breaking in, with armed force, was but a pretext cover and attempt to murder and silence us, for officially reporting their ongoing criminal activities.
We are not criminals and have never been arrested or convicted of any violations of United States Laws. With their long standing, illegal, personal, and criminal vendetta by Bankruptcy Judge Jeannie Latta, Fraudulent Chapter 7 Trustee, P. Preston Wilson and United States Trustee/Sean Haynes, they have been and were illegally taking our life, liberty and property under unconstitutional and illegal siege in a continuing racketeering conspiracy. The United States Trustee/Sean Haynes has repeatedly refused to, failed to and neglected to uphold the law and protect the integrity of the Bankruptcy System.
The bankruptcy judge, Jeannie Latta, fraudulent chapter 7 trustee, P. Preston Wilson and United States Trustee/Sean Haynes have openly become outright gangster criminal king pins, directing, aiding, abetting, protecting and committing bankruptcy fraud, who have converted their official offices and formed ongoing racketeering enterprises ring and conspiracy, feeling very comfortable because they know they are above the law, because they are White Governmental Officials, and no one would dare speak out against them. They have built a gangster racketeering paradise in Memphis, Tennessee.
Now, openly and notoriously in broad daylight, in complete surprise, we are being armed robbed, defrauded and extorted of over 18 million dollars of real and personal property in retaliation for being Black and having officially reported them under oath and is mandatorily required 18 USC, 3057, to the United States Justice Department & FBI, for various criminal violations of United States Laws and converting their official offices into and operating a series of fraud, racketeering enterprises and associations in fact, at Memphis, Tennessee, which are part of a tidal wave of continuing Organized Crime, schemes and conspiracy. Which, we have found are being illegally protected by the FBI, DEA, IRS and the local and federal government apparatus, making them above the law and illegally enriched.
For their pretextual break-in and armed robbery, they used as a totally, illegal and unconstitutional cover, a completely fraudulent, manufactured, extortion under color of official right, fabricated and bogus court order, issued by officially corrupt bankruptcy judge Jeannie Latta, who took and withheld official action, and preagreed outside of the judicial process so to do, though she fully knows that she has no legal jurisdiction or lawful authority so to do, on a case that does not now exist, that has been dismissed and discharge denied for almost ten months from her court.
These illegal, fraudulent, extortionate and unconstitutional actions against African American citizens, constitute willful and knowing, felony, racketeering and criminal law violations of title 18 United States Code, Sections 2, 3, 4, 152, 153, 154, 157, 241, 242, 371, 401, 872, 1001, 1341, 1343, 1503, 1509, 1512, 1513, 1621, 1622, 1623, 1951, 1951(b)(2), 1961, 1961(d), 1962, 1963 et.seq and concurrent State Law.
We are requesting the public help and assistance to expose and bring to justice, this ongoing official corruption, criminal fraud and racketeering gangster ring, that is illegally looting and stealing over 100 million dollars a year of American Citizens property at Memphis, Tennessee and interfering with Interstate Trade and Commerce, as part of their organized crime, ongoing criminal enterprises and associations in fact at Memphis, Tennessee. This has made Memphis the Bankruptcy Capital of America.
They have trampled, disregarded and rewrote the United States Constitution, all the Laws, Overruled and usurped the United States Supreme Court and the United States Congress and thru their official corruption have caused a virtual complete collapse in the public faith, trust and respect for the Federal Judiciary and Government in Memphis, Tennessee
We have full personal knowledge, documented proofs, audio and video tapes, sworn testimony, transcripts, written affidavits and case histories, that will allow for the swift investigation and prosecution and insure the convictions of these mobster racketeers.
We need your help because they have been able to evade being brought to justice because they are Government Officials that are White and Jewish and are unlawfully protected and obstructing justice, by a machine of political, judicial and law enforcement corruption at Memphis, Tennessee.
We have had all of our constitutional rights, human rights and property, illegally deprived and trampled and we have been and are being continually criminally oppressed, under force, threats, fear and intimidation by this gang of criminals. We are living in constant fear of our lives and economic loss and the lives of our family and friends. We have lost all our faith and trust in the government to protect us. Bringing this corruption to a public forum is our only hope.
