Real Housewives Stars Gets 39 Count Indictment; while Goldman Sachs 100 Felonies Get a Pass

[laserhaas]

- - -It's top news on much of main stream media yesterday that the Federal government has announced a 39-count indictment of Real Housewives Star Teresa Giudice and her husband Giuseppe ("Joe&quot Giudice for FDIC Bank Fraud, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud, Conspiracy to commit same and Bankruptcy Fraud.

(See Forbes story - HERE - (New Jersey U.S. Attorney Press Release - HERE) - actual indictment - HERE)

What is noteworthy (and I take great issue with)

- is the following remark by the Department of Justice Press Release

- disingenuously stating that;

“Today’s indictment alleges the Giudices did not live up to their responsibilities by failing to file tax returns, falsifying loan applications and concealing assets in their bankruptcy petition. The reality is that this type of criminal conduct will not go undetected and individuals who engage in this type of financial fraud should know they will be held accountable.”

emphasis added to the word "individuals"

Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital's 100 Plus Counts of Felony Violations Get Away - 'SCOT FREE'!

- - What the DOJ Press Release should be saying is;

Look, you 2 TV stars aren't either Goldman Sachs, nor Bain Capital. Now if your last name were Bush or Romney, then - in all probability - you would be considered Above the Law and could get away with all of these assaults upon the Constitution of the United States. Plus Mr. & Mrs. Giudice - you only stole a few million - Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital stole BILLIONS!

You must perpetuate fraud on a Madoff-esque type scale; if you too wish to get off 'Scot Free'.

1. That will teach those Commoners

Remember, one must have a License to Steal.

Otherwise, one is effed.

2. Sad but true 'Link Speed' - Sad But True! - n/t

3. Yup crime only pays if you're in the business of capital.

The real criminals like Bain, Goldman, Enron, Adelphia, CCA, they don't get punished. Everyone else is fair game.

[laserhaas]

4. Adelphia's owners and "some" Enron players went to jail. By CCA I assume you mean the "Corrections"

for profit company.

Would it surprise you to know that one guy was involved in

Bain, Goldman, Enron and Adelphia (plus Petters, Rothstein/Discala, Marc Dreier, Palm Beach Links, Lancelot) - frauds?

and he's directly linked to Pitten's....

[Initech]

5. Really I didn't know that. Very interesting.

Just furthers George Carlin's theory that it's a big club and we're not in it. But yeah CCA = Corrections Corporation Of America.

6. Before Meteor Blades from the orange realm, freed my mind - I used to think Carlin was whacked.

It was a sad day - when I learned that I'm the one who was full of it.

Yep - we're not in it - the big boys club of thugs.

[laserhaas]

7. By the way - the "connected" guy's name is Paul Traub of Traub Bonacquist & Fox

He worked with Romney (whom I like to call Pitten's) - as far back as decades ago in the NeoStar case.

Also at Jumbo Sports and Stage Stores.

Since then, Paul Traub has made his living by not revealing to the bankruptcy courts - his connections to Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Silver Point Capital and SOOOOOOooooo Much More. He was partners with Tom Petters (linked to Lancelot, Palm Beach, Rothstein/Discala frauds) and also partners with fraudster Marc Dreier. Worked both sides (creditor and debtor) - illegally in the Okun 1031 Tax Group Case (OKUN getting the 100 years may have been a frame up) - and Traub also worked the Adelphia/ Enron cases.

Anywhere manure flies in the ointment of financial chaos - Traub tries to be there.

Plus- Harold Bonacquist of TBF works for the U.S. Government as Consulate General Counsel in Istanbul.

Traub and Bonacquist's files are marked "Hands Off" at the DOJ.

Bonacquist also works with Dan Quayle over there in Istanbul and Dan Quayle is the mouth piece for Cerberus Capital Management (whose partner Ezra had the Gabriel fund that FED victims to Madoff).
