Meet the Man Who Has Been Battling Romney and Bain’s Bankruptcy Fraud for 12 Years [View all]

Source: PoliticusUSA.com (and reporter Rmuse)

There is something appealing to human beings about a small individual taking on a powerful adversary, and most people are aware of the David and Goliath story where a small insignificant boy took on and defeated a powerful giant because his unwavering faith gave him courage and conviction that right would overcome might. For the past eleven-and-a-half years, one American with unwavering faith in the judicial system has taken on a modern day giant without respite based on a belief that justice is due diligence and that in America, right overcomes might. However, in this circumstance, the system that exists to ensure justice prevails has conflated power with right and gave an already powerful giant a wall of separation from the law, and yet one small individual continues battling for justice against a behemoth.

As an eToys executive, Haas had a legal and fiduciary responsibility to report his discoveries to eToys estate managers and lawyers, and instead of gratitude for doing his job well, he was asked to betray his client for the sake of his future in the liquidation business. When Haas refused the offer to look the other way and allow eToys to be gutted and sold to Bain Capital for free, a Bain Capital surrogate installed his business partner and co-conspirator in other bankruptcies to replace Haas, and colluded to annul a court-approved contract to pay him. As an officer of the court, and 18 USC § 4 – Misprision of felony, Mr. Haas, having knowledge of the commission of a felony had a duty, as soon as possible, to make known the same to some judge or other person in civil authority and if he failed to do so, he risked being fined or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. Haas fulfilled his legal duty and reported the malfeasance to the proper authorities.

Shortly after reporting the crimes, in August 2001, George W. Bush appointed another Bain Capital lawyer as U.S. Attorney and he refused to investigate or prosecute the crimes throughout his tenure; despite the U.S. and former Bain attorney’s malfeasance, Haas continued fighting for eToys shareholders and to bring the criminals to justice. During his long battle, Haas discovered attorneys representing the creditors and debtors worked for the same giant (Bain Capital) in the eToys bankruptcy and committed perjury by deliberately failing the mandate to disclose conflict of interest. In what can conservatively be called racketeering, fraud on the court, and miscarriage of justice, the court failed to prosecute or report the crimes then, and continues protecting Bain Capital and its surrogates as recently as last week when the eToys judge postponed a hearing to remove the fraudulent eToys manager in another curious miscarriage of justice.

Due diligence means making every effort to find and rectify problems in business or criminal situations, and Haas fulfilled that role as eToys executive and officer of the court, and for eleven-and-a-half years he has continued as a private citizen. No-one can ever accuse Haas of not fighting for a fair resolution that satisfies shareholders, creditors, and debtors in the eToys bankruptcy, and for his trouble the court protected Bain Capital’s surrogates and helped thwart his efforts in spite of confessions of perjury, corruptions, and fraud giving the appearance the court has no interest in justice.

This is not and should not be a story about Laser Haas.

I wish someone else had posted this.

However, my hearing that the Delaware Federal System of Justice is trying to bury - so that Mitt Romney/ Bain Capital does not get investigated - is on December 4, 2012 at 10:30 a.m.

Being that we want to get the White House Petition signed as much as we can by then;
I'm doing what I shouldn't do - and reporting my own story.


Again - it is NOT about me......it is about Mitt Romney's organized crimes that need to be halted.

- for I am only doing the job I was hired to do. What is going on here - is tyranny, cronyism and federal corruption that is benefiting the organized criminal [Bain Capital] empire. In the past - I told them I would gladly give up everything they owed me - if they would just do the right thing. They laughed me to scorn and stated "We've already taken everything you were owed and more".

So, Mitt Romney and Laser Haas are "ALL IN" at the final table/ battle of their lives. Prior to this time, Mitt Romney believed he was going to become POTUS and be able to 'handpick' his very own Attorney General of the United STates and be able to bury the case. This is because the former U.S. Attorney (Colm Connolly), already provided proof that corruption works well for Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital. As U.S. Attorney, Colm failed to disclose that he was a Bain Capital law firm partner. http://www.justice.gov/archive/olp/colmconnollyresume.htm

Where for seven (7) years (his entire tenure in office) - United States Attorney Connolly - buried any investigation and/or prosecution into Mitt Romney/ Bain Capital etc and their cohorts in crimes (even after MNAT and Paul Traub confessed to intentional fraud & 34 acts of Perjury). Now the corrupt federal system of justice still seeks to bury the case. Please help (if you have not already) by signing our White House Petition calling for an investigation into Mitt Romney/ Bain Capital?

After all - is the request for an honorable investigation too much to ask for?

Background of Bain Capital/ eToys Perjury & Fraud
[br]

    In 1999 eToys went IPO with Goldman Sachs and the stock soard to $85 - but eToys received less than $20

  • November 2000 - Wells Fargo loaned eToys $40 million

  • March 6, 2001 - after transacting more than $100 million - the Wells Fargo loan was closed

  • eToys filed Bankruptcy on March 7, 2001.

  • www.MNAT.com lied about its connections to Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs to become eToys attorney

  • Paul Traub lied about his connections to Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Bain Capital to become Creditors attorney

  • MNAT and Mr. Traub then place Paul Traub's partner inside eToys as President/CEO

  • Laser Haas refuses their bribe (to become Bain's partner)

  • MNAT submits a (forgery) to the Federal Court - telling the Judge Laser Haas waives his right to be paid

  • In Delaware, MNAT represents (secretly) - both Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital

  • Mitt Romney own's stage stores and Michael Glazer was his director, Barry Gold assist Director who hired Paul Traub

  • eToys was sold to Bain Capital for less than pennies on the dollar to Kay Bee/ Michael Glazer

  • It takes several years to find the proof of Perjury & Fraud;which forced Paul Traub and MNAT to confess

  • US Trustee, having no authority to do so, gives MNAT & Traub (illegal) immunity

  • In 2007, Laser Haas learns that US Attorney (Colm Connolly) is partner with Bain Capital law firm MNAT

  • Crimes & Corruption are reported to Dept of Justice Public Corruption Task Force

  • GWB's Navy Pilot buddy (Tom O'Brien) as US Attorney - Shuts DOWN Public Corruption Task Force
    career Assistant U.S. Attorneys are Threatened to Keep their Mouths SHUT

    http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/20/local/me-shakeup20

  • Laser Haas files a brief in Wilmington DE Fed BK Court to bring this to public's attention
    Court & Clerk illegally withhold the Mitt Romney/ Bain Capital litigation until the election is over
