Brought over from prior thread:
@MollyDDD, I actually think it could have been the reverse situation. Atty. P. could have been doing the 'same old same old' telling Fd they would prove reasonable doubt. But, as AW3 came out and Fd knew what LE had documented, he was smart enough to realise that Atty. P. was simply running a very expensive billing clock and that life in prison was inevitable. My other guess is that the Fd decision to desecrate the JFd memorial on Jefferson Crossing resulted in some very harsh words as no doubt in the delusional mind of Atty. P. his 'brilliant attempt at reasonable doubt' had been effectively undermined (this seems a ludicrous argument IMO but I can see him saying this). Fd knew what he money situation was and wasn't and realised that once the bond fraud was caught that he was going to 'Door 2' in Stamford IMO.
As I've said before, the fact that we see Atty. P. PI McKenna part of the Fd fraudulent bond package (he chose to not fill out the required paperwork - why State didn't flag this clear omission immediately and reject the bond out of hand is another head scratcher IMO?), to me signals MUCH Atty. P. involvement in the fraudulent bond as why would a random PI choose to be part of a bond? The other reason the entire Atty. P. involvement in the fraudulent bond seems probable is that Atty. P. has been dealing with intimate involvement in the financial affairs of Fd for MONTHs via the Civil Case and Family Court.
The Atty. P. word salad about the bond referring to 'title issues' as being the reason for the 'issues' is IMO laughable. We saw the delay in the bond being issued and I believe we heard comments from Atty Smith to the effect that 'technical details' were holding it up! Really! To me this says that both Atty Smith and Atty. P had intimate knowledge of the fraudulent bond and so I wonder will their roles in putting forward a fraudulent bond on behalf of Fd be investigated by the State? Why did Atty Colangelo not push to have the fraudulent bond issue and AC role hashed out in Court after the Fd suicide attempt? While its likely that at that time it might have been clear that Fd was brain dead at Jacobi and just waiting for his family to arrive from Greece, the reality was that the bond being a fraud was never at question and Anna Curry was always front and centre in the bond IMO. Why was Anna Curry not detained and told to not leave the State of CT until the situation was resolved? Where is Anna Curry now?
Atty. P. knew that 4Jx and Sturbridge were subject to foreclosure at the time the bond package was submitted IMO. So, why let a client submit a bond package that was fraudulent? We also saw Palmetto as the insurer and are we to realistically believe the the State didn't know that they didn't have the financial wherewithal to support a $6 million dollar bond? It seems like we are looking at ineptness on the part of the State on so many levels and the fact that it took 20 days to figure out after a whistleblower stepped up and pointed the situation out almost immediately is frankly mind blowing as well.
I would hope that the State of CT undertakes a COMPLETE REPORT that will be made public looking at the role of Atty. P. and PI McKenna and ANNA CURRY and GV etc. in the Fd Faux Bond. Will all parties that participated in putting forward a fraudulent bond (including the bonding company and the insurer) be prosecuted? Will the bonding company and the insurer be STRUCK from the State of CT approved list and will tighter controls and financial updates be undertaken to make sure that the companies on the approved list actually can financially stand behind their bonds?
It seems like we have seen one admin related SNAFU after another on the bond from the State of CT and I wonder if there will be any repercussions or will it be swept under the rug? Will we see any repercussions for Atty. P. and Atty Smith or any of the participants to the bond?
When will the report from FPD be released about the Fd suicide to the public? Why is the Press not following up on this report and the prior FPD report about the Glock 19?
This IMO is all so administratively lax to say nothing about the bond fraud being illegal IMO. So disappointing.
MOO
@pernickety
I've been looking at videos online of FD's hearing before Judge White, at which the judge said FD's dismantling of the tribute to JFD was "stupid." But the part I'm looking for I can't find-- where NP asks judge to reconsider taking away FD's right to leave his house for work-related matters, saying something like the "sale of one house will right the financial ship" AND then (to my memory) Colangelo tells the judge that it wouldn't bc the amount of the mortgages exceeds the market value of the houses.
And NP doesn't challenge him on that. Can anyone find that? Bc IMO that would show that both NP and Colangelo
knew at that time that the collateral put up for the bail bond was insufficient. Maybe at that time RC had been tipped off by the bail bond woman and was dealing with it behind the scenes, but it seems to me that NP was in violation of the RPC on "candor to the court" when he said that the sale of any property would "right the financial ship" for FD. Moo.
@pernickety, I'm with you on being 'quite concerned' about how this entire 'faux bond' issue was handled by Atty. P., Atty Colangelo and the Judges involved.
Here is video to original hearing where $6 million bond and conditions were imposed by Judge Blawie
Coverage of Judge White "stupid" comments following Fd desecration of JFd memorial on JX.
Fotis Dulos Avoids More Jail Time, But Judge Tightens Release Conditions After ‘Stupid’ Bail Violation
11:38 in this video is reference to Sturbridge being mortgaged for more than its worth and Atty Colangelo makes reference to financial information he has as part of the investigation:
------------------------------------------------------
@pernickety, I'm baffled here as I believe the date of this hearing is 1/23/2020 and its clear that Atty Colangelo is well aware of the Fd financial condition issues but YET, we see no mention of possible issues with the Bond at this point.
Why?
Why was Fd allowed to leave the Courthouse if there was any question as to the status of the underlying bond?
Further, Judge White so far as I can tell didn't follow up on the sufficiency of collateral issue that seemed to have perhaps been discussed between Atty. P. and Atty Colangelo in Chambers prior to the hearing?
WHAT IS GOING ON and WHY did things play out this way?
Was the Court giving Fd time to 'right the ship' and possibly 'fix' the deficiencies in the bond? Was this when Anna Curry stepped up and signed a note for $3 million dollars when her stated net worth I believe on the bond application was in the range of $600,000?
If the bond was even in question why was Fd NOT returned to jail pending resolution of the collateral?
What was the State waiting for during this period? What was going on?
The Fd mental health spiral happened IMO between this hearing and the following scheduled hearing when it was clear that he would be returning to jail?
Why was such a 'gap' in the timing of resolution of this matter permitted by the Judge, the authorities that maintain and monitor the bonds and Atty Colangelo?
We saw Atty. P. making comments about 'technical details' with the bond but last time I looked, perpetrating a fraud on a bond is only a 'technical detail' in the world of Pattisville and not the world where the rest of us have to reside.
Why have we seen NOTHING regarding an investigation or Press coverage about this fraud perpetrated on the State by Fd and IMO Pattisville given that they were integral to the crafting of the bond package and even inserted their PI McKenna into the package and this PI McKenna didn't even fill out the paperwork properly?
Where is Anna Curry in all of this and was she required to remain in the State of CT pending resolution of this matter or has she been allowed to flee to North Carolina.
This all seems quite slipshod IMO for one of the largest bonds ever posted in the State of CT.
Where is the Press in all of this as I haven't seen one recent article about this situation at all?
Why hasn't Atty. P. and the attys on his team been held accountable for their role in this 'faux bond'?
MOO
