[center][div style="display:inline; background-color:#F5F6A6;"][big] Making a CASE that Mitt Romney is a RACKETEER[/big]
[/center]


[dl][dd] - Make no mistake, Mitt Romney is a RICO boss and the proof is undeniable. However, what is also without question is how powerful a person the POTUS wannabe Pitten's really is. No one seems to care that he steals monies via Bain Capital, Sankaty, Liquidity Solutions etc., until it is their monies he is stealing directly. Then, like the stories of old, those victims are on my side of the fence, where the rest of the world could care less.

[dl][dd] - Everyone (even most of my fellow eToys parties) believes/ thinks that eToys is old news from 2001; but that's not true. The eToys cases are still open. The Delaware Bankruptcy Court case of In re eToys (#01-706) has been open now for 12 years, since March 7, 2001. And, as the New York Times article "Rigging the I.P.O. Game" denotes, the entire case is under seal since 2002.; because Romney's corruption is centered in Delaware. If they closed that case before he ran for President, I might have been able to get an indictment already. [/dl][/dd]

[center][div style="display:inline; background-color:#F5F6A6;"][big][big] What is Racketeering [/big][/big]
[/center]

[br]
[dl][dd] - RICO is an acronym for Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations ("RICO&quot Act. Specifically civil and felony violations of the United States Criminal Code 18 U.S.C. 1961 (list of qualifying "Predicate" Acts {statutory violations}) and 18 U.S.C. 1962(a)(b)(c) & (d).

[dl][dd] - If you will remember, even Al Capone himself was not brought down for the massive crimes he did. Including the murders, the massacres, bombings, federal corruption, bribery, extortion, yidda - yadda.

[center]NOPE, what Capone eventually went to jail for w-a-s - for Tax Evasion.[/center] [br][center]When you think about it - that is SO apropos of Mitt Romney![/center]

[center] [/center]
[dl][dd] - At the time that Capone was finally put in prison by Eliot Ness, the RICO Act did not exist. It came into being in 1970 as part of the Organized Crime Act (see Wikipedia - HERE ). It was speculated by a court that the Racketeering Influence & Corrupt Operations Act {“RICO”} statute of 18 U.S.C. § 1962 (c) may have been named after “Rico” (the gangster). As reflected in the Illinois case of Parnes v. Heinold Commodities, Inc., 548 F. Supp. 20, 21 n.1 (N.D. ILL. 1982). Where the court surmises;

[dl][dd] - “Although undocumented, there may be a connection between the acronym RICO and the gangster charter “Rico” played by Edward G. Robinson in the classic film Little Caesar (1030). Based on Al Capone, Robinson’s “Rico” created an archetypal image of an organized crime figure which must have been known to the framers of the RICO law, and which persists in the American imagination to this day”.

[dl][dd] - The beauty of our case, compounded with the haughtier of Romney & his RICO Gang leaving evidence all over the place. Is that the RICO ACT permits any citizen to become "Private Attorney Generals" to fill in prosecutorial gaps.

[dl] - And, in our case with Mitt Romney - we have a major prosecutorial gap; because Mitt possessed his very own federal prosecutor (the Delaware U.S. Attorney Colm Connolly - pictured with his former law firm name - Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell {"MNAT"}). Obviously an organized criminal empire may not claim protection from our Constitution, for statute of limitations, when you have benefits of federal corruption (owning a federal prosecutor corrupt like Colm Connolly).

[br]
[center][div style="display:inline; background-color:#F5F6A6;"][big][big] Section 1962(c) of the RICO ACT is for Civil RICO lawsuits by Private Attorney Generals [/big][/big]
[/center]


[dl][dd] - Congress designed Sub-Section (c) of the 18 U.S.C. 1962, as part of the RICO ACT for ordinary citizens to go after "Prosecutorial Gaps" of Organized Crime. In our particular case (of eToys etc) we have many areas of such. There is Grand Larceny, obstruction of interstate commerce, intimidation of Victim/Witnesses, Wire and Mail Fraud, SEC felony violations and federal corruption. That's just naming a few (the list of "technical" felony details will be placed here over the weekend - below). In the mean time, it is best to let Congress and the United States Supreme Court clarify it for you - in their top of the road venacular - the issues at hand. As reported in the ubiquitously adopted case Precedent of Sedima, the U.S. Supreme Court has clarified that;

Whereas the United States Congress and Supreme Court have granted the authority to be a “Private Attorney General” under 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) to address the “(1) conduct [of culpable person(s)] (2) by an enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering activity via the Private attorney general provisions such as § 1962(c); which are in part, designed to fill in prosecutorial gaps”. Sedima, S.P.R.L. v. Imrex, Co., 473 U.S. 479, 484, 87 L. Ed. 2d 246, 351, 105 S. Ct. 3275, 3278, 3285-3276 (1985).

[dl][dd] - Of course this is not going to be easy. Several rulings by U.S. Circuit Courts and the Supreme Court have clarified (further) certain issues about pursuing a Civil Racketeering case. As noted above - the RICO Act is to address issues of "culpable" persons (thus far, in our case - Mitt Romney, MNAT, Michael Glazer, Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs, Barry Gold, Colm Connolly and Paul Traub). Those "culpable" persons must be "corrupting" legitimate interstate commerce through a "pattern" of "racketeering" activity over an extended period of time that has harmed the plaintiff (yours truly) business and other victims too.

[dl][dd] - Now the "culpable" persons need not be directly involved (though I'm going to allege that they all ARE). Thus, if we can provide proof that any of the alleged defendants are engaged in racketeering and the gains from the organized crimes went to any of the parties - then they HAVE benefited from RICO. Thank goodness that Romney has boasted - OFTEN - on how he gets millions per year from Bain Capital. Even = "IF" Mitt has destroyed all the evidence "directly" connecting him to the crimes, the fact of the matter remains he has benefited from Bain Capital (who is most definitely an Organized Criminal venture).

[dl][dd] - Also, in order to "qualify" as Racketeering, the crimes must have happened over more than a year and (in most cases) during a 10 year period. However, in our case we have that issue of federal corruption. Colm Connolly was a MNAT partner and MNAT is Romney/Bain Capital connected law firm from 1999 (at least) and ever since. We also have the fact that MNAT has "confessed" lying under oath 15 times to a chief federal justice. This is what is known as Fraud on the Court by an Officer of the Court.

[center][div style="display:inline; background-color:#FFFF66;"][big][big] There's NO statute of limitations for Fraud on the Court by Officers of the Court. [/big][/big]

[dl]- - Rolling Stone's September 2012 cover story - "Greed and Debt" - The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital only delves into part of Romney's Bain Capital crimes. However, Taibbi did discuss the obvious federal crime of Kay Bee CEO Michael Glazer paying himself $18 million (bought off/Bribery) - as he paid Bain Capital $83 million. Per page 3 of the online story at Rolling Stone;

In a typical private-equity fragging, Bain put up a mere $18 million to acquire KB Toys and got big banks to finance the remaining $302 million it needed. Less than a year and a half after the purchase, Bain decided to give itself a gift known as a "dividend recapitalization." The firm induced KB Toys to redeem $121 million in stock and take out more than $66 million in bank loans – $83 million of which went directly into the pockets of Bain's owners and investors, including Romney. "The dividend recap is like borrowing someone else's credit card to take out a cash advance, and then leaving them to pay it off," says Heather Slavkin Corzo, who monitors private equity takeovers as the senior legal policy adviser for the AFL-CIO.

[br]
Bain Capital/ Romney's secret law firm (www.MNAT.com) represents Bain in the $83 million preferential transfer (probable fraudulent conveyance). Paul Traub (MNAT's cohort in crime in the eToys case) asked the Federal justice for permission to be the one to prosecute Glazer and Bain. What Traub failed to inform the court of - is that Michael Glazer was also a Director at Romney's Stage Stores entity and Paul Traub was hired by Stage STores "director's assistant" Barry Gold (and Traub/Gold are also partners in other company's). When the Department of Justice and Federal Justice are informed of this additional $100 million fraud (on the court) effort (provided by yours truly) - the Dept of [IN]justice had the evidence Stricken & Expunged from the record.
[br]
[dl] - - Providing additional corroborative detailing that Romney benefits from fraud = we have Rolling Stone's comment that Romney was still CEO of Bain Capital at the time (though I would Object to the conclusions as lacking foundation and argue that Taibbi is stipulating to facts not in evidence). What Taibbi/ Rolling Stone are inferencing correctly, is the fact that Romney benefited. As the buying off (Bribery) of Michael Glazer went down the way Rolling Stone details here;
[br]
At the time of the KB Toys deal, Romney was a Bain investor and owner, making him a mere beneficiary of the raping and pillaging, rather than its direct organizer. Moreover, KB's demise was hastened by a host of genuine market forces, including competition from video games and cellphones. But there's absolutely no way to look at what Bain did at KB and see anything but a cash grab – one that followed the business model laid out by Romney. Rather than cutting costs and tightening belts, Bain added $300 million in debt to the firm's bottom line while taking out more than $120 million in cash – an outright looting that creditors later described in a lawsuit as "breaking open the piggy bank." What's more, Bain smoothed the deal in typical fashion by giving huge bonuses to the company's top managers as the firm headed toward bankruptcy. CEO Michael Glazer got an incredible $18.4 million, while CFO Robert Feldman received $4.8 million and senior VP Thomas Alfonsi took home $3.3 million.

[dl][dd] - This isn't going to be easy. Actually, there's a chance I may not live through it (even a brother of an Assistant U.S. Attorney was involved and (purportedly) committed suicide. But it is our country in trouble. Bain Capital still owns Clear Channel Communications and controls 800 stations with more than 100 million listeners. Our 2014 elections are at stake and Romney still believes he can pull a Nixon and get in.

It is my job - with the help of you all publishing this around the web - To STOP HIM!
