#999412 Mr.
Seymor M. Hersh Subject: Conspiracies
Dear Mr. Hersh, My actual conspiracy problem started a few years earlier when I tried to stop and then report
wide-spread fraud and corruption in my regional RTC (Resolution Trust
corp.) office during the early 1990's. After I failed going through the
chain-of-command, up to Chairman, Al Casey, and got demoted and fired in
the process, I contacted a congressman from Alabama on the House Banking
Committee, Richard Shelby, and was directed by his chief-of-staff to
contact the House Oversight Committee on the RTC who took my
investigative work and opened their own investigation and published the
results in one of their quarterly reports to congress about data
servicing contractor, Texas Data Control, Joint Venture (TDC, JV.) This
forced the internal RTC-IG to open an investigation in which I became
the source of information for both the Washington RTC-IG and the Dallas
IG field auditors. Almost a year into the investigation I was told
by IG-Investigator, Don Ryburn in Dallas that the IG was going to terminate the work with a finding of no fraud and
when I asked him why he explained to me that the RTC-IG was receiving
pressure from the newly appointed CFO, Donna Cunningham, to back-off (he
also explained that she was reported to be a college friend of then
First Lady, Hilary Clinton, and that all of these fraud investigations
were to be stopped.) Then I was approached by an employee of the RTC I
had hired a few years prior when I was recruiting professional CPA's to
assist me with closing failed SL's (he is now an Investigator with the
U.S. Attorney's Office in Ft.
Worth, TX) who suggested I file a False Claims Act (FCA) or
Whistle-blower’s lawsuit against the contractor I had found defrauding
the RTC; TOC, JV. He even provided me a draft lawsuit and the name and
number of an attorney with experience in In 1995 I filed the False Claims Act lawsuit
against the contractor, TDC, JV, and its six joint venture partners,
including the party that actually committed the computer and false
billing fraud, Computer Science Corporation (CSC) under seal with the
U.S. Attorney General, Janet Reno, (Civil No. 3:95-CV-550-X) and before
the end of 1995 the U.S. Attorney joined the suit and took over its
prosecution. During this time I was contacted by a person claiming to be
working for the election of Senator Bob Dole for President and asked me
if 1 would be willing to be present at one of the Presidential Debates
to ask a question about corruption at the RTC and the Clinton
Administrations refusal to address it. I told the person that I would,
but was never contacted again, though I was encouraged to keep up my
investigation and lawsuit. On December 31, 1995 I was terminated from the
FDIC/RTC after 7½ years but in the context of the filed lawsuit (and an
earlier EEOC 1awsuit and investigation; which went nowhere because I was
deemed too White!) I had documented not only how the contractor, TDC,
JV, was over-billing the government ($7 million out of a $21
million Total) but how the false reports the contractor was providing
for non-existent assets they maintained on their mainframe computer
systems at Computer Science Corp (CSC) was in turn being used by Senior
RTC management to falsely or fraudulently over budget for internal and
external contract services for Assets in Liquidation that did not exist
(this amount was close to 50% of the total regional assets in inventory
under RTC Receivership and Liquidation Management and I had calculated
in excess of $100 million in unnecessary contracts had been awarded in
my region alone by this time - also at the time my position was
southwest Regional Operations Specialist (supervisory) LG-14
(Liquidation Grade same as GS- I apologize for how boring this must seem, but
investigating computer and financial fraud is supposed to be rather
boring and unexciting work unless you come up against this particular
contractor and criminal Computer Science Corporation (CSE). Before we went
to trial in 1998 I
received an odd warning from the RTC employee who had originally advised
me to file the FCA lawsuit and provided me with the original attorney,
who was later joined by my brother-in-law, attorney, Robert M. Clark,
and he stated that I might think of dropping the lawsuit because “my
life might be in danger.” I took the warning as more of a sick joke
and thought that such a thing was not possible, but just before the
trial was to start I was threatened by the U.S. Attorney that if I
testified about an, wrong-doing or corruption by any RTC employee or
senior management my wife and her family would be charged with same type
of criminal activity which at the time I was at a loss to quite figure
out. Since I went on the witness-stand in two days from that I asked to
drop the FCA lawsuit or turn it over 100% to the government and was told
by the All of the "players" or attorneys at
the trial in 1998; Mike Lynn, Tom Melsheimer, Renee Skinner (who only a
week before the trial started was Judge Joe Kendal's law clerk), U.S.A.
Paul Coggins are all kind of known around our neck of the woods as 'East
Dallas Liberals’ as apposed to the more "Klan" or
"Confederacy Friendly" conservatives of my old Highland Park
and University Park neighborhoods. Some are former Akin, Gump, Strauss,
Hauer & Feld attorneys as was my first wife, Professor Michelle Ward
LaBorde Ghetti and U.S. Attorney Paul Coggin's wife, Regina Montoya (who
was also a Clinton Election Chairwoman for Currently this same group of attorneys, plus
former criminal court Judge David Finn, has been very busy for the past
few years in 1 realize that the amount of detail and the
various parties in this conspiracy story are getting a little out of
hand and I couldn't agree more, but when I was asked to view one of the
video-tapes of Mr. Lowder’s wife and my former wife (and a third
older, but “butchlesbian”) and asked to identify a man in the video
which I did as an Assistant Dallas District Attorney I only knew a
Bryan, I unfortunately became involved or knowledgeable of another
conspiracy which I had no intention of being involved in: the
participation of the Dallas District Attorneys office in
"SHAKING-DOWN" people it charge with crimes and threatened to
prosecute and the receiving of “Kick-Backs" from Bonds posted by
defendants and illegal referrals or “Kick-Backs” from attorneys
these defendants were steered to. Most of these "Shake-Down"
and "Fake-Drug" victims were undocumented Hispanics who in
Dallas work and live in a vast underground economy - all dealing in cash
- and this great source of cash must have been very tempting to these
cops, attorneys and D.A.'s. And why it is so easy for some one like my
former wife to solicit and obtain false criminal and prosecutions from I don’t want to go into what happened to me
and my girls, Faith & Liberty, at this time, but it all came about
because of me crossing these two groups of criminal actors hiding behind
the Badges and Courts of the Law. I really only thought something like
this could take place back east. I had been in
