In reply to the discussion: PRESS RELEASE: Racketeering Romney Lawsuit Becomes Official November 6th [View all]Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)49. A compilation of posts from myself and others
My curiosity has been piqued so I've been casually poking around for additional info
This is an outside media article on the initial case --
http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/business/news/etoys-investors-claim-conflict-at-law-firm-592819/
It's also made mention in the WSJ. So there's there there, just how much is the question.
Since then Mr. Haas, who apparently files court documents using his superhero name, has produced/utilized other resources --
http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Steven-Haas/1354174894
If I understand this correctly the above link was a pleading filed in New York --
71. TBF's power center to get willfully blind justice in Delaware cannot have reached here in NY...
As of this writing I am unaware of the disposition of this particular case, I only have my assumptions. Still, the pleading at the link is a glowing tribute to undefined complaints written in an untidy amalgam of pseudo-legalese and street vernacular. I beg you, please read it.
And then this ties in, somehow --
The Goal of this Website now - is to assist Tom Petters get a new trial and see to it that the Racketeering evidence of Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital and Paul Traubs duplicity in the Petters, Fingerhut, Polaroid (and eToys cases) are punished by a Racketeering indictment
http://petters-fraud.com/
http://petters-fraud.com/
One would think that after being on the case for a decade or so a little editing would have come into play. I think the website speaks for itself. Again, please, see for yourself.
A less "busy" and less advocacy-minded summation of Le Affaire d' Petters --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petters
BTW -- his press release states he is CEO of Collateral Logistics, Inc. but every reference to CLI I can find outside of this case show CLI as inactive and having no named officers --
http://www.corporationwiki.com/California/Santa-Clarita/collateral-logistics-inc/43407676.aspx
===================
From DUer jberryhill --
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/09/30/1242491/-U-S-Trustee-Motion-v-Paul-Traub-Slapping-Wrist-of-Perjury-Fraud
CLI didn't file its claims properly. CLI failed to hire a lawyer, which is required because a corporation has to be represented by a lawyer in bankruptcy court. Because CLI didn't follow the rules, CLI didn't get paid what you thought it should have been paid.
You, as owner and officer of CLI, blew it.
So you've cooked up conspiracy theory in which you play a lead role so that you can claim you were victimized by Bain, Romney, Goldman Sachs, and their law firms.
I've read the relevant court documents. Whatever shenanigans MNAT and Traub were engaged in--and they were forced by the court to disgorge fees--are irrelevant to your postion, because you and CLI screwed up.
Get over yourself.
From the docket of DE BK Bankruptcy Petition #: 01-00706-MFW
12/06/2012
(3 pgs) Order DENYING Motion of Steven Haas and it is FURTHER ORDERED that any future pleadings filed by Mr. Haas in this case shall be deemed STRICKEN and returned without docketing (related document(s)2478, 2481, 2484, 2485, 2486) Order Signed on 12/6/2012. (CAF) (Entered: 12/06/2012)
WHEREAS, to the extent that the Haas Motion is a claim on behalf of Mr. Haas as an individual, that claim is barred because it was filed almost a decade after the Bar Date and Mr. Haas has been actively involved in this case and never asserted any individual claim; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Haas numerous filings in this case are repetitive, without merit, and border on harassment; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the All Writs Act, the Court has the power to bar further pleadings by Mr. Haas in these
circumstances, see 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a); United States v. Gomez-Rosario, 418 F.3d 90, 101 (1st Cir. 2005) (holding that courts have the ability to enjoin a pro se party from filing frivolous and vexatious pleadings); Shafii v. British Airways, PLC, 83 F.3d 566, 571 (2d Cir. 1996) (noting that an injunction is appropriate where a litigant engages in filing of repetitive and frivolous lawsuits); Cok v. Fam. Ct., 985 F.2d 32, 34 (1st Cir. 1993) (Federal courts plainly possess discretionary powers to regulate the conduct of abusive litigants.); In re Oliver, 682 F.2d 443, 445 (3d Cir. 1982) (holding that an injunction restricting filings was necessary where the pleadings constituted a continuous pattern of groundless and vexatious litigation); therefore, it is hereby
ORDERED
that the Haas Motion is DENIED; and it is further
ORDERED
that any further pleadings filed by Mr. Haas in this case shall be deemed stricken; and it is further
ORDERED
that the Clerks Office is hereby directed to return, without docketing, any further pleadings which Mr. Haas may file in this case.
There is a festival of fun in that case, and in several others, including the one where it finally got through to him that in order to appear as a corporate party, he needed to hire a lawyer. His lawyer shortly thereafter petitioned to be excused because he was driving the lawyer bananas.
So, since he can't file anything in the DE bankruptcy court anymore, he picked up the show and filed this new hot mess in California which, if you read the minimally coherent bits of it, is largely premised on not getting what he wanted out of the court in Delaware.

"Laser the Liquidator"
I trying to imagine if that is with or without a cape.
Anyway, about half way down you see the link for his homepage -- http://www.laserhaas.wordpress.com
So, I went to his homepage. In the masthead he quotes the Declaration of Independence. No real harm in that except the passage he selected is rather...militant --
When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
It seems "troubling" that a person seeking judicial relief has an unction to armed revolutionary action.
================
Then I started to have serious misgivings about your well being --
This is no longer fun. The more I read of his writings and bizarre organizational charts the more convinced I am that we are dealing with an obsessive personality with delusions of grandeur and feelings of persecution. I honestly, honestly worry he may not accept the inevitable peacefully.
But the Delaware Department of Justice and Federal Courts are damnation bent to break all Laws and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, destroying the Publics faith in the integrity of the Judicial Process.
For the sake of cronyism, tyranny and corruption to protect MNAT and its clients.
As a result the Dept of Justice rogue elements have broken the Law so profusely and docket record substantiated overwhelmingly that MNATs secret clients Goldman Sachs and BAIN are getting away with organized crime.

UPDATE Aug 31, 2011
WARNING there are rogue elements within the Dept of Justice seeking to subvert the Constitution of the United States for veiled agendas sake contrary to Congressional Law! During his tenure at the Delaware Department of Justice, US Attorney Colm Connollys office repeatedly declined to investigate and prosecute the MNAT law firm.

Keep in mind, Haas' only role in this was to provide transportation and security for the as yet unsold assets of eToys, i.e. product and later office furniture. In other words, he was to hire and administrate the elderly security guard napping at the warehouse every night as well as procure the occasional moving van.
Kossack, VetGrl, has an excellent summation -- http://www.dailykos.com/comments/1167910/48680260#c39
But this has been gnawing at him for over a decade. He has lied about his role in the eToys liquidation and is saying that the rule of law has been so deeply subverted with veiled agendas he's quoting the Declaration of Independence about the duty of throwing off the bonds of government.
And for what?
A website that sold Bob the Builder toys and ant farms. That's what all this is about. This is the deepest deep conspiracy that almost ruled the US that is worthy of a James A. Michener novel.
People need to stop cheering this. He doesn't need applause, he needs help and those who are egging him on my soon find they have cheered for a tremendous tragedy.
