Defense Dept. Briefing on the Death of Pat Tillman (7/31/2007)

This is the Defense Department briefing admitting errors were made, apologizes to family. Demonstrates that no real punishment was given. Provides some context for why so many feel this is a cover up. Journo's ask good questions.

You did a great job here!

I like the size and that you can click on it to see the video!

or did anyone ask why his uniform and joyrnal were destroyed? how could that NOT point to a coverup?

They

are not focusing on the discrepancies. I can't believe Waxman is letting these dogs off.

Fraud and Corruption at the Dept of Justice

Why would a U S Attorney avoid prosecuting a case that
is a slam dunk on many statutes including 18 USC 155 Fee Fixing?

The corruption of the System is both rampant and propogative.

Directly connected to this case you have the following issues
that are irrefutable.

The US Trustee warned attorneys in the eToys matters not to
do statutory violations.
The attorneys not only disregarded the warning but admitted
to drafting a HIRING LETTER that was not revealed until
after the proof of "non disclosure" of "conflicts of interest"
occurred.

I Steven Haas, (a/k/a Laser Haas) testify today, August 3 2007
Under Penalty of Perjury that what is stated here is true and
correct.

The Director in Washington D C of the Dept of Justice
replaced the Region 3 Trustee on Dec 22 2004,
The Asst US Trustee did place a Motion to Disgorge
for $1.6 million in the eToys case 01-706.
Just 10 days later the US Attorney for the US Trustee
Office sought to Settle that Disgorge Motion.
The Settlement violates the LAW.
We complained to the Asst US Trustee and the Director
in Washington DC of the EOUST.

Both resigned after the Stipulation to Settle was placed
into the record.

The following facts below are verified by Court docket records.

Would you consider an article on your blog on the subject of the case
and the US Trustee's refusal to prosecute?

Attached is all that is needed to prove the case in point and below
is a summary of the story, to refresh the memory.

Sincerely
Laser Haas

We have proof the Dept of Justice management has lost its sense of honor and duty.

In the Bankruptcy case of eToys 01-706 (DE 2001) we proved over 100 felony violations by the firm of Traub Bonacquist & Fox and Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnel.

The US Trustee is charged by the Janet Reno Reform Act of 1994 to be the "policing" "watchdog" of public entity bankrupt estates to protect equity holders.

The LAW of 18 USC 3057(a) and 28 USC 586(a)(3)(F) mandates that the US Trustee officially report all malfeasance by any attorney in a bankruptcy case to the US Attorney office for prosecution.

When we placed proofs of the "non disclosure" of "conflict of interest" into the record the Director of the EOUST in Washington D C then replaced the Region 3 Trustee on Dec 22 2004 (you can go to the US Trustee website and see the press release)

Then on Feb 15 2005 the Asst US Trustee placed a Disgorge Motion against Traub Bonacquist (TBF) into the record for $1.6 million.
(docket item 2195)

The Asst US Trustee stated that he had [fore]warned the parties not to replace any key personnel of the debtor with anyone connected to the retained professionals of the estate(which are thereby Officers of the Court).
(please see Disgorge Motion parts 19 and parts 35)

Despite that warning the parties of TBF as creditor's counsel and debtor's counsel Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnel (MNAT) did collaboratively draft a HIRING LETTER for Barry Gold.
(Traub has admitted to paying Barry Gold 4 separate payments of $30,000 each, both pre and post petition)
(please see March 1, 2005 Transcript docket items 2228)

The HIRING LETTER was never revealed until after the deceptions of non disclosure of conflict of interest were proven.

The HIRING LETTER was used by TBF and MNAT to place Barry Gold in as the "wind-down coordinator" of eToys.

The HIRING LETTER also contained and illegal clause that brazanly REwarded Barry Gold for not seeking the Court's approval of his hiring by then giving him the CEO and Presidents Job.

When Traub stopped paying the $30,000 per month, TBF and MNAT had designed that the ESTATE pay Barry Gold $40,000 per month.

All this is admitted and in the record.

The Asst US Trustee also stated that the acts of non disclosure were deliberate, rather than inadvertent, that it was by vastly experienced bankruptcy counsels, that it destroyed the line between Creditor v Debtor, that repetitive affirmative misrepresentation of Rule 2014(Perjury) acts had occurred. That "this is all that is necessary to prove Fraud upon the Court"

Now the Asst US Trustee sought silently to be lenient by not seeking the mandatory disqualification that is required by Code 327(a) as established by the 3rd Circuit and the Supreme Ct (In re Middleton Arms)

Then less than 10 days later, the US Attorney for the new Region 3 Trustee placed a Stipulation
to Settle for only $750,000 into the record.

The Stipulation to Settle also contains ILLEGAL clauses such as

WHEREAS the United States Trustee shall NOT seek to compel TBF to make any additional disclosures.

One of the Additional disclosures the AUSA seeks to help hide is the fact that Barry Gold, MNAT and TBF all have "undisclosed" connections to KB Toys and their owner(s).

As eToys sold the bulk of their assets to KB Toys and their owners such is NOT a "bona fide" sale and is rescindable.

It is also Collusion to Defraud an Estate.

We complained to the Director of the EOUST, the Asst US Trustee and the head of President Bush's Corporate Fraud Task Force.

All 3 parties have resigned.

We also contacted the SEC Bankruptcy Fraud Div in Atlanta GA where we were told they would send the AUSA for Region 3 an Official Intergovernmental Letter for Official Investigation.

The US Attorney for the Region 3 Trustee told the SEC not to send the Letter.

Other OBSTRUCTIONS by the US Attorney for Region 3 also included aggressive acts to strike and expunge all the proofs we place into the record.

Stating that Article III does not apply to bankruptcy proceedings and that we must have their permission to point out fraud to the court.

We also contacted the FBI, the Public Integrity Section of the DOJ, the US Marshalls, the OGE, the OPR, the ORO, the OIG and more.

All referred us to the US Dept of Justice EOUST General Counsel's office.

The problems is, after the Asst US Trustee and the Director of the EOUST resigned.

Alberto Gonzales office Promoted the former REMOVED Region 3 Trustee to the position of Acting General Counsel

She is in charge of investigating her own case.

If you want to see where the power and influence comes from guess who owns KB Toys, Stage Stores and more.

How is it possible that the shareholders of eToys are thrown away, when the Bankrupt estate can now be made whole by causes of actions

While eToys is now a Public Equity again merging with Baby Universe on NASDQ symbol
POSH.
