Undisclosed conflicts of interest—on a massive scale—are choking Washington
Judge Thomas Selby Ellis III in the "like" patent infringement case Rembrandt Social Media v. Facebook holds 19 Facebook interests (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, T.RowePrice and Blackrock). See Ellis Financial Disclosure. On Dec. 6, 2013, Judge Ellis referred Rembrandt's objection regarding expert witness damages testimony to the Federal Circuit. Evidently he needed backup from his secret Facebook collaborators at the Federal Circuit.
However, the Federal Circuit is conflicted en masse since it employed Facebook attorney Thomas G. Hungar, Gibson Dunn LLP, to represent the entire court in a conflict of interest case in 2010. See AFI May 24, 2013 post. Hungar and Gibson Dunn LLP were Facebook's appeals attorney in Leader v. Facebook also. In addition, the husband of Federal Circuit Judge Kimberly A. Moore (Matthew J. Moore), is an attorney at Facebook James W. Breyer's and National Venture Capital Association's attorney Latham & Watkins LLP. In addition, SEC Chief Counsel Thomas J. Kim approved the Facebook 500-shareholder exemption in 2008, requested for Facebook by Fenwick & West LLP (Leader Technologies' attorney in 2002), and was formerly employed by Latham & Watkins LLP. That exemption was the excuse used by JPMorganChase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to bring in billions of dollars in dubious funds from Russia to pump up the Facebook pre-IPO valuation—at the same time that they were taking over $30 billion in bailout funds from the American taxpayer. Bottom line, the Federal Circuit cannot hear this appeal if they are following their ethics Code of Conduct. It's a rat's nest of conflicts of interest.
Judge Ellis is another Facebook Club plant. Obvious question: Why haven't Rembrandt's attorneys, Fish & Richardson LLP, filed judicial conflict of interest objections? Fish & Richardson is a member of the Federal Circuit Bar Association's "Leaders Circle" with Facebook stakeholders Microsoft, Clerk of Court Jan Horbaly, Weil Gotshal LLP, Gibson Dunn LLP, Fenwick & West LLP, Latham & Watkins LLP and Orrick Herrington LLP. Interesting Facebook bedfellows. Does any inventor have a hope of fair treatment by this incestuous Washington clique? See Fig. 1 below.
(Dec. 3, 2013)—Investigation into the financial holdings of federal judges in Leader v. Facebook has exposed an unprecedented web of conflicts of interest in Washington D.C., New York, Boston and Silicon Valley. It is a cancer that appears to have metastasized into many agencies of the U.S. government.
Stitching this story together from public documents, one thread at a time, the apparent master minds are James W. Breyer and Lawrence “Larry” Summers.
Breyer is the managing partner of Accel Partners LLP, Palo Alto, California. He is also Facebook’s largest shareholder and former chairman.
These insider actions effectively double-crossed hundreds of investors who they had encouraged before 2008 to invest in certain funds that would eventually purchase billion of dollars in pre-IPO Facebook stock. For example, T. Rowe Price purchased more 5.1% of Facebook's insider stock, according to the Facebook S-1 disclosure. See p. 148. The T. Rowe Price stock was purchased at about the same time that Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov invested billions.
Even senior Facebook employees found these pre-IPO insider transactions dubious. For example, Mark Zuckerbeg's former speechwriter, Katherine Losse, said they were essentially ordered to sell these insider shares to the Russians and "ask no questions." See the Boy Kings Congressional Briefing.
New, Dec. 12, 2013—Special Notice: Facebook IPO big winner, No. 6 Meritech Management, includes owner Ann H. Lamont. Ann Huntress Lamont is a former director of the National Venture Capital Association with Accel Partners' James W. Breyer, Robert C. Ketterson of Fidelity Funds and Anne Rockhold of Vanguard Funds, now CFO of Accel Partners. All these funds were big investors in the Facebook IPO.
Lamont is also a board member of Castlight Health founded by Obama appointee, U.S. CTO, Todd Y. Park, the chief architect of HealthCare.gov when he was CTO of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). See previous post.
Todd Y. Park's direct and undisclosed relationships to Facebook interests biases all his HealthCare.gov involvement and recommendations, including the knowingly false claim that the HealthCare.gov technology is "open source." This conduct shows evident intent by the Obama administration and cronies to confiscate the social networking property of Columbus innovator Leader Technologies.
On day 3 of the Facebook IPO, Breyer dumped over $6 billion of his shares under the cover of the supposed NASDAQ "glitch." However, it now appears the glitch was intentional, and it appears he was double-crossing the many investors identified in Fig. 1 by first pulling out plenty for himself before the stock price tanked—which he knew would happen since he had artificially inflated the valuation using his Russian oligarch slush funds.
As it turns out, SEC Chair, Mary L. Shapiro, was actively fanning this conflict of interest flame since she held 49 of these insider holdings. She exempted Facebook from the previously sacrosanct 500-shareholder rule. This act opened the corruption floodgates. This explains why complaints about insider trading prior to the Facebook IPO were ignored by the SEC. Attorney General Eric H. Holder holds 25 of these funds as well. They are up to their eyelids in this muck.
Summers is President Obama’s former director of the National Economic Council who allegedly oversaw the 2008 bailout. However, it now appears likely that the bailout itself was a Summers contrivance designed to supply tens of billions of dollars to this agenda.
Breyer’s father, John P. Breyer, and George Soros appear to be pulling the strings behind the curtains. They are fellow post-WWII Hungarian refugees. During James W. Breyer's ascendancy in the U.S. venture capital world, father John P. moved to Beijing, China and helped start that country's venture capital markets. Son James is actively dissing U.S. markets in favor of Chinese ones. Soros' agendas are well known.
Another troubling dimension is Russian President Vladimir Putin. He is closely allied with Goldman Sachs–Moscow’s Russian oligarch partner, Alisher Usmanov. Usmanov was the second largest shareholder in Facebook prior to the IPO. Summers mentored Usmanov's front-man, Yuri Milner, along with Facebook COO, Sheryl K. Sandberg. Usmanov's pre-IPO investments triggered the pre-IPO valuation bubble.
That investing appears to have been made possible by billions of dollars in Goldman Sachs bailout funds, funneled to Moscow via London, then back through Dubai before returning to purchase Facebook insider shares. All very clever, but very illegal.
Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)
It is also becoming evident that these actors are directing President Obama’s secret Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agenda. Among other things, TPP is attempting to dramatically alter U.S intellectual property laws without Congressional approval. This tactic is similar to the confiscation of Leader Technologies' U. S. Patent No. 7,139,761 by the federal courts and Obama administration. They are working to dismantle private property rights in favor of judicial privileges that trump the Constitution and Congress.
Follow the money
Required annual financial disclosures blew the lid off this collusion. Investigators discovered that a select group of judges and administration officials had insider information on funds that would eventually invest heavily in Facebook’s IPO. Amazingly, this knowledge was gained before 2008. James W. Breyer appears to have tipped these officials prior to 2008 in order to elicit a massive array of favors and cooperation.
American Presidency for Sale
From the "Imperial Presidency" by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. (1973), pages 417-8:
"If future Presidents govern by decree then impeachment would be necessary to rein in the Presidency and support the Constitution. With a constitutional Presidency, any actions by a President’s administration that are illegal or unconstitutional must be exposed and punished. Schlesinger writes “A constitutional Presidency, as the great Presidents had shown, could be very strong Presidency indeed. But what kept a strong President constitutional, in addition to checks and balances incorporated within his own breast, was the vigilance of the nation. Neither impeachment nor repentance would make much difference if the people themselves had come to an unconscious acceptance of the imperial Presidency. The Constitution could not hold the nation to ideals it was determined to betray."
If one were intent on buying the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, positioning people in bureaucratic power, changing laws to sanction intellectual property theft, and keeping people quiet, this would be one way to do it. Once these judges and officials were invested in these funds, they became complicit. They were then motivated to be silent and do what they were told, or were cajoled to do. This could explain Chief Justice John G. Robert, Jr.'s ashen, mumbling countenance after reversing himself on Obamacare. Was Roberts blackmailed, or did he do it to protect his 21 investments in Facebook-friendly funds?
Not a single conflict of interest has been disclosed
During this same time, Breyer was also riding herd over corrupt practices in Mexico as a Wal-Mart director. The Bible speaks about people who have a "conscience seared with a hot iron." Breyer's conduct would place him in this category of immorality.
After Leader Technologies' attorneys began spanking Facebook's attorneys in pre-trial hearings, Breyer used his influence to get certain judge appointments (Leonard P. Stark and Evan J. Wallach) and also ordered Obama to appoint David J. Kappos as Patent Office director—a man with whom he had been negotiating the sale of 750 IBM patents (all patents trumped by Leader's patent). With these people in place, Breyer was certain he could control his "Leader Technologies problem." Breyer used the courts and Patent Office to steal Leader's technology. See previous post.
A judge is required to disqualify himself even if his spouse holds only one share of stock in a company coming before his court. Similarly, members of the executive branch are required to act impartially and disqualify themselves if they have holdings in a party coming before them. Amazingly, not a single person or entity identified in Fig. 1 has disclosed any of the conflicting relationships identified by the blue lines.
Conflict of interest laws exist precisely because a person involved in a public trust cannot act impartially if he or she has an interest in one of the parties.
The corruption of an entire generation of public servants
By encouraging these individuals to invest in the insider funds, James W. Breyer embroiled an entire generation of promising public servants in the most massive fraud upon the American public in the history of the republic.
Breyer’s destructive example to future innovators
Leader Technologies’ social networking invention, which Breyer and his "PayPal Mafia" collaborators stole, became the glue that enabled Breyer to bind his collusion together. It enabled him to communicate with his several hundred actors secretly via secret Facebook email accounts.
By stealing from real American innovators, Breyer has likely corrupted an entire generation of high tech innovators and entrepreneurs, for whom he has set an immoral example.

Experts in application and system tuning use the terms: "hogs, frogs, and dogs" to describe different types of transactions. Hogs use up a lot of system resources. Frogs are efficient applications that run quickly and smoothly. Dogs are applications that need a lot of work for provide proper functionality and then run efficiently. To get to an 80% level of efficiency for the functions the Administration has announced, it looks like the team worked on the hogs and frogs. The dogs need to be triaged for a later effort. They also added major "horsepower" in hardware to help the applications run faster.
ReplyDeleteHowever, this does not even address the serious privacy and security issues embedded in these systems.
And don't be fooled by proclamations of success. It's like the baseball team announcing victory after 80% of the innings were played (22 of the 27 outs had been achieved---still leaving another 5 outs to go.) And we know what can happen in the last two innings of a game.
False promises were made and continue to be made. The cover ups will continue, too. It looks like the hogs, frogs, and dogs have been joined by skunks.
New information is emerging that the HealthCare.gov site has little to no security for the healthcare information. This fundamentally violates the HIPAA laws on privacy. Security expert Morgan Wright wrote in an assessment for CMS who is building the site: ‘the threat and risk potential is limitless.'
ReplyDeleteSoooo, why is the government requiring American citizens to use a healthcare site that its own experts say does not comply with HIPAA ?
If the response is, "We aren't asking for any HIPAA information" (which has been repeated often in the press), that is a blatant lie.
A reader of this blog, who is a healthcare professional and consults to hospitals on best practices, just went through the HealthCare.gov sign up process late last week. She stopped when she was asked to disclose certain medicines that she was taking. So much for the claim that HIPAA information isn't being asked for.
This woman has spent her career protecting her patient's private information and knew a HIPAA violation when she saw it.
When Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz moved out to Palo Alto in June 2004, they were running of with a stolen idea and ran into Sean Parker who new that facebook was stolen
ReplyDeleteSean's first task was to do one of things Eduardo was supposed to do, but hadn't yet help Facebook find money. Sean had raised money for Napster and he knew his way around Silicon Valley. He quickly proved himself capable. For Mark, this only reinforced the idea that Eduardo was expendable. The only problem was: How would Mark cut Facebook's third-biggest stakeholder and co-founder out of the company?
In an IM exchange with Sean Parker after a meeting with Peter Thiel, he got all the dirty tricks" used by Peter Thiel, Thiel had learned these tricks from one of the most legendary venture capitalists in the Valley, Michael Moritz of Sequoia. and yes Thiel new the story of how zuckerberg stole facebook at the time. Mark and Sean discussed the Eduardo problem. Mark hinted at a hardball solution,
Parker: Peter [Thiel] tried some dirty tricks. All that shit he does is like classic Moritz shit.
Zuckerberg: Haha really?
Parker: Only Moritz does it way better.
Zuckerberg: That's weak.
Parker: I bet he learned that from Mike.
Zuckerberg: Well, now I learned it from him and I'll do it to Eduardo.
more instance of
Confidant: How are you going to get around Eduardo?
Zuckerberg: I'm going to buy the LLC
Zuckerberg: And then give him less shares in the company that bought it
Confidant: I'm not sure it's worth a potential lawsuit just to redistribute shares. You have nothing to gain.
Zuckerberg: No I do because until I do this I need to run everything by Eduardo. After this I have control
According to the new communications, Saverin apparently used Facebook as a free platform to advertise another project he was working on called Joboozle, but Joboozle was going to be a part of facebook
The plan: Reduce Eduardo's stake in TheFacebook.com by creating a new company, a Delaware corporation, to acquire the old company (the Florida LLC formed in April), and then distribute new shares in the new company to everybody but Eduardo. Mark discussed this plan with confidants over IM several times with Peter Thiel Sean Parker and attorney lisa simpson of Orick llp lisa simpson was made a were of the fact that ZUCKERBERG had sign a contract to PAUL CEGLIA years a go 'and was a where that on a video disk ZUCKERBERG openly admitted ;saying that facebook was not his idea lisa got a court order to get the two disks and distorted the sound track on the disk in a deliberate act to hid the fact zuckerberg stole the idea facebook one of the disk was from Robert Mueller at the FBI and yes the NSA new facebook was stolen??. So who new facebook was stolen Henry Blodget David Kirkpatrick Lawrence Summers Sheryl Sandberg chris Hughes: and eduardo Savrin James W. Breyer D’Angelo joe green Nicholas carlson Cameron and Taylor Winklevoss
Sean Parker (who extorted Zuck to get 5% of Facebook) said: “I’ve ended up with less than 5% of Facebook Parker said that he wanted 12% for Facebook Zuckerberg said It’s somewhat a joke,” Zuck said about “Sean Parker it’s not like an important guy.” but he had the emails on you zucker. The Winklevoss say the idea facebook was their idea but was not, and in 2004, Chang says he entered into business partnerships with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss that gave him a chunk of two companies, ConnectU, a social networking site facebook for college students, . Part of the deal, according to Chang, involved integrating i2hub features with ConnectU to get the idea facebook up and running but the idea facebook was not zuckerberg idea nor was it the Winklevoss idea Chang now says he is due between 15 and 50 percent of the $65 million settlement

DeleteThe HealthCare.gov doctor recommends a CLASS ACTION SUIT with cease and desist injunctions against anyone in the administration with undisclosed conflicts of interest. They should be enjoined from any further involvement in the decision making on Obamacare. These conflicts are provable from public information. A retired judge told me that the information AFI has uncovered is likely "judicially recognizable" without even the need for further discovery to prove the conflicts.
ReplyDeleteAs she explained it, the evidence is "notorious" since it comes from incontestable sources like the Government Printing Office archives, Congress, etc. (Notorious, as in able to be recognized as reliable evidence, not as in outlaw.... well maybe we're looking at the behavior of outlaws.)
Received this from a reader last evening:
ReplyDelete>Perfect Quote
Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way that you can quickly understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

ReplyDeleteJPMorgan Emails Show China Hires Were Made To Win Deals: NYTimes, 12/07/2013
ReplyDeleteOK, here's the game with Obama's Facebook Club. JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs rape and pillage until their conduct becomes generally known. Up until that point, Eric Holder at DOJ, and Mary Shapiro at the SEC (both now proven to be members of the secret Facebook Club) ignore the criminality. Then, when the conduct finally becomes public, they express "concern" and launch investigations. Those investigations eventually settle (like they just did behind closed doors over the mortgage scams) with a slap on the hand (and a wink and a nod ;-) tee hee hee). Obama's cronies will try and get away with this strategy right up to their last day in office. In the meantime, if any of Obama's buds get prosecuted, he'll just PARDON them on his way out. Then, they'll all fly off to the offshore playgrounds. Very clever. This administration has a deeper level of cynicism about American democracy than I have ever studied.

Apple, Google And Others [FACEBOOK] To NSA: 'It's Time For A Change'
ReplyDeleteWhile I am on my soapbox. If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black...
Google and Facebook, two of the worst privacy offenders on the planet, are criticizing the NSA. These are the same people that violate privacy day and night, reading every email, every post, every photo tag, every comment, anywhere. They are tied at the hip with the NSA.
These people really do think we are all dumb as door posts. They may have the money to get the mainstream press to print their lies and deceptions, but we don't have to believe a word of it, or purchase from their advertisers.

Wayne Chang filed a lawsuit against the Winklevoss brothers. Chang said that the Winklevoss brothers merged their company, called ConnectU, with Chang’s web development company to make a new company: The Winklevoss Chang Group (WCG). Chang complained that the Winklevosses “expressly agreed that the litigation between ConnectU and Facebook was an asset of ConnectU and an asset of WCG,” according to BusinessInsider. Chang never got any money when the Winklevosses received $65 million as part of the settlement. Chang claims that this IM conversation took place between him and Cameron its an ironic twist, Wayne Chang is suing the Winklevoss twins for the same reason they are suing Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThe Winkelvoss Somehow, they got from that disaster of an engagement with mark zuckerberg the Winkelvoss brothers got $65 million. What makes the disclosure doubly gasp-worthy is that the parties had gone to great lengths to keep the terms confidential, including by clearing the court room for some hearings.
But on a Crimson computer, Mark brought up what he described as the work he did on HarvardConnection. He gave Tim and Elisabeth a guided tour of the site. Mark's goal seemed to have been to show Tim and Elizabeth, the Crimson reporter and editor, that the idea facebook was not stolen other than the ways in which social networks are all the same, there were no features or designs in the work he says he did on HarvardConnection.com that ended up in theFacebook.com like pictures of farm animals, The Winklevoss brothers then contacted Lawrence “Larry” Summers but he had his bitch for the stolen idea facebook and that bitch was mark zuckerberg with the help of James W. Breyer and Lisa Simpson of Orick LLP
Zuckerberg hired attorney Lisa Simpson of Orick LLP who convinced The Crimson editor to take the emails down from public accessibility. These emails proved that Mark Zuckerberg had signed a contract with PAUL CEGLIA for 50% of thefacebook. So Lisa Simpson knows the Ceglia contract is genuine.
the Winklevoss brothers then, reached out to Tim McGinn again, this time to tell him that another Harvard rower -- one named John Thomson -- had told them that Mark had stolen something for TheFacebook from him, too. They told Tim that John's claim was that Mark Zuckerberg stole from him the idea feature called "Visualize Your Buddy."
lisa Simpson”of Orick LLP She has previously done some CDA work for Facebook, and was probably the only lawyer they new of who could get up to Allegany county and start asserting some of the procedural defenses. After Eduardo began talking to Mezrich, he and Facebook settled their lawsuits. Facebook went from officially denying Eduardo's status as a cofounder to listing him as one on its Web site. As a part of the settlement, Eduardo had to stopped talking to the press. But at the end of the day every one BETRAYS every one is this the way we are or become??,
Zuckerberg's boy wonder "I did it myself in two weeks" story never made sense. Now we know why. What a two-bit huckster.

ReplyDeletePaul Ceglia was sued for fraud by Obama appointee, U.S. Attorney PREETINDER PREET BHARARA, to stop his civil suit against Zuckerberg after Ceglia's attorney got Facebook's attorneys to ADMIT that Zuckerberg's 28 hard drives and Harvard Emails were in the hands of Facebook's Gibson Dunn lawyers. This proved that Leader Technologies was lied to and not provided that evidence to review. Bharara even threatened Ceglia's attorneys if they made any more filings in the civil suit! Sieg Heil !!!
So, I decided to check the financial disclosures of the judge, DENISE L. COTE. Surprise, surprise. She holds at least seven funds that are a part of the Facebook Club. Vanguard, Goldman Sachs, T. Rowe Price, TIAA-CREF and Chase. Without giving Ceglia notice of her conflicts, and asking for a waiver from him, it is Cote and Bharara that are breaking the law!!! A__H__s.

The continuing revelations about conflicts of interest and payoffs remind me a the Mark Twain observation:
ReplyDelete"Honesty is the best policy--when there is money in it."
It looks like we have the best government that money can buy. And the Facebook crowd has created plenty of it. What's horrifying to me is the level of foreign influence (especially Russian and Chinese) in our government and society.
This week the New York Times announced the addition of John Podesta to the White House team. Podesta's role is to expand the use of executive branch's authority.
A Time magazine article profiled the influence of Podesta’s Center for American Progress in the formation of the Obama administration, stating that “not since the Heritage Foundation helped guide Ronald Reagan’s transition in 1981 has a single outside group held so much sway.” “These authorities can be used to ensure positive progress on many of the key issues facing the country through executive orders, rulemaking, agency management, convening and creating public-private partnerships, commanding the armed forces … diplomacy.”
Podesta stressed: “The ability of President Obama to accomplish important change through these powers should not be underestimated.”
We need to keep a careful watch on what changes are in the wind. Given the level of corruption AFI has exposed so far, the prognosis might not be a pretty one.
I encourage other AFI site followers to watch closely and report their findings and observations.
