Letterese update (Moxon in Florida)
tl;dr of this whole mess: Letterese is in deep shit and so is everyone involved with him, an entity he set up to receive the assets of his bankrupt corporation has been sued for fraudulent conveyances of assets, and Moxon will be involved soon in a possibly lengthy proceeding about this case.
A few things of interest have occurred in the general mass of litigation related to Peter Letterese, Creative Desperation (his company), his nearly-dead RICO suit, his bankruptcy and the bankruptcy of Creative Desperation. That is, if you consider the slow and deadly dull grinding of Mr. Letterese into dust by the litigation process of interest. The most interesting from WWP's perspective is probably that Ken Moxon has filed a motion to appear pro hac vice in the Creative Desperation bankruptcy. This is what an attorney who isn't licensed in a particular state files in order to appear before a court there in litigation; a local attorney, Alan Perlman of Adorno & Yoss, LLP in this case, effectively vouches for them. The most interesting from Letterese's perspective is that the trustee for the bankruptcy estate, Marika Tolz, is suing virtually everyone associated with his business, for a variety of illegal actions including fraudulent conveyance and civil conspiracy, for transferring property from the bankrupt corporation, CDI, to another corporation, in order to thwart judgment creditors. Marika Tolz is also attempting to get authority to dismiss Letterese's monetarily worthless suits against Scientology. Moxon's presence on the scene may indicate that the cult believes that this is their opportunity to deliver the coup de grace in the Letterese matters, and they want to get their pound of flesh. Cult-related entities, including Bridge Publications, are the largest creditors in the bankruptcy estate. I believe there is little value to the cult monetarily in getting a share of whatever is left of Letterese's enterprises at this late date, and suspect that they have already spent more, and intend to spend more, than they get back in this bankruptcy. It is, however, their nature to grind their litigation adversaries into dust. "If possible, ruin him utterly," as L. Ron Hubbard said. Another example of their ruination of an adversary is the way they are, over ten years after getting a $75,000 judgment against Keith Henson, still using his bankruptcy proceedings to basically torture him, and have spent well over $1 million in the process of purported attempts to collect this judgment, basically just out of spite. A couple interesting recent documents: This is the adversary proceeding filed by Marika Tolz, which is notable in that it institutes legal action against Letterese, but more interesting because if you have not read the thousands of pages of filings in this case that I have, out of a sort of masochism, it explains the lay of the land in Letterese matters. It also has the advantage of not being from either Letterese, a raving lunatic, or Scientology litigants, raving lunatic liars. This is the trustee's attempt to get authority to abandon the lawsuits against Scientology. I believe this is likely to be granted. While Letterese has certainly suffered from his association with the cult, the way he has attempted to seek relief is legally frivolous and doomed to failure. From a bankruptcy law perspective, there is no way the value of the estate to its creditors is enhanced by pursuing these kamikaze kook suits, and that value is the only relevant consideration. Similarly to the adversary proceeding, this document cogently lays out the current litigation, its legal merits, and its monetary value. I concur completely with Tolz's evaluation, with one caveat, that being that I believe the trustee's request to drop a suit against herself, in her role as bankruptcy trustee, may present a conflict of interest. However, I believe that claim is so patently frivolous that it could be dismissed by the court sua sponte (on its own motion). Scientology intervened in the abandonment of claims process, filing an ex parte motion requesting a briefing schedule, on the basis that the hearing was likely to be lengthy and complex. Their motion clearly having merit (hey I call them like I see them), it was granted. |
