An Open Letter to Corrupt, Racketeering Los Angeles Bankruptcy Judge Sheri Bluebond (Asbestos Trusts) – Stop the Fraud!

June 2024 –

I was ‘forced’ to write Corrupt Judge Sheri Bluebond again!!!

The most corrupt Judge in America is about to sign off on  the 2023 Annual Reports for multiple Asbestos Trusts knowing the Annual Reports conceal racketeering, fraud, and criminal conduct from the Asbestos Trust Beneficiaries. So corrupt is Judge Sheri Bluebond, that it became necessary to copy the U.S. Trustee (as Bluebond would conceal the letter). The letter is below –

Re: 2024 Annual Report Fraud –Racketeering, Criminal Concealment – Thorpe Trusts Counsel Eve Karasik Ongoing Racketeering

 

 J.T. Thorpe, Inc. Settlement Trust, and Thorpe Insulation Settlement Trust – Case No. 2:07-bk-20016-BB/2:07-bk-19271-BB

 

Hearing Date: June 12, 2024

 

Dear Ms. Bluebond,

 

I am writing regarding ongoing racketeering, fraud, and concealment of criminal conduct (issues germane to Trust Beneficiaries) by Thorpe Trusts’ Counsel Eve Karasik, and the Thorpe Trusts’ Fiduciaries in the 2023 J.T. Thorpe, Inc. Settlement Trust, and Thorpe Insulation Settlement Trust (collectively referred to as the “Thorpe Trusts”). Reports filed by your close personal friend and Thorpe Trusts Counsel Eve Karasik (who authored and signed the 2023 Annual Reports), conceal and misrepresent facts germane to the Thorpe Trusts Beneficiaries including, but not limited to, ongoing criminal conduct (scheme to misappropriate Trust funds) among Thorpe Trusts’ Fiduciaries (enabled by Karasik), racketeering lawsuits against Asbestos Trust ACC/TAC members (Simmons, Hanly, Conroy) reflecting on the Simmons Firm’s many Thorpe Trust’s claims, as well as Karasik’s criminal libel of me and my office in the 2023 Annual Reports.

CONCEALMENT OF FIDUCIARIES ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL CONDUCT RELATED TO ASBESTOS TRUST

Please see the attached article entitled “Big Asbestos law Firm Accused of Cheating It’s Way to Billions” referring to the Simmons Hanly Conroy Firm. The essence of this lawsuit alleges that Simmons Hanly Conroy fraudulently deceived both Asbestos Defendants and Asbestos Trusts in dozens, if not hundreds, of mesothelioma cases to maximize recovery (even through racketeering, insider dealing, and fraud were involved). The estimated damages from this Simmons Hanly Conroy Racketeering is well over $1B (billion). Simmons Hanly Conroy has filed dozens, if not hundreds, of fraudulent claims with the Thorpe Trusts which depleted Thorpe Trusts funds by at least $10-$20 million. This information is germane to the Thorpe Trusts’  Beneficiaries and known, and criminally concealed, by Trust Counsel Eve Karasik. This lawsuit, and all details thereof are “germane” to Beneficiaries.

Undeniably, for the past 10 years, you have been aware the exact same criminal conduct has taken place at the Thorpe Trusts among its Trust Advisory Committee members. I provided you with irrefutable proof that Thorpe Trusts Chairman of the Thorpe Trusts Advisory Committee Alan Brayton was using Thorpe Trusts Funds “like a Bottomless ATM,” by filing fraudulent claims (see the Kananian case) and receiving favorable treatment. The Thorpe Trust Fiduciaries (including YOU,  Laura Paul and all Thorpe Trusts Fiduciaries) have knowingly enabling and concealed this criminal conduct at the Thorpe Trusts. In fact, I provided you with an actual TRUST CHECK (with invoices) which showed Thorpe Trusts’ Fiduciary (Alan Brayton) used Trust Funds to PAY FOR HIS WEDDING (like a ‘bottomless ATM”).

Additionally, you were also aware of these same Trust Fiduciaries (Karasik, Brayton, McClain, Paul, you) misappropriating millions in Thorpe Trusts Funds relating to the 2013 ‘sham’ lawsuit (A scheme to divert Trust funds) against my office in which you presided.

As indicated to you (but ignored), this case against my office (2014) was solely to ensure Brayton, McClain, Kazan, and Karasik could continue to use Thorpe Trusts Funds “like a bottomless ATM,” and to continue filing fraudulent claims (with Karasik favorable treatment).

Judge Bluebond, as a direct result of your active concealment and ignorance of these facts raised in that Trial, at least $250,000,000.00 in Thorpe Trusts funds have since been diverted by Brayton, Kazan, McClain and Karasik. Give yourself a medal.

Your “Duty” was to make a report to the U.S. Trustee for referral to the Department of Justice. You were provided with irrefutable evidence of Thorpe Trusts Fiduciaries engaging in criminal conduct in violation of the Chapter 11 Department of Justice Rules. Couldn’t at least investigate?

As presiding Judge, you Judge Bluebond, have that duty to stop criminal conduct, to stop fraud, to ensure equal treatment, and to follow the Law. As you have done countless times in the past, please do not ignore these duties again to further enable Karasik and Thorpe Trusts’ Fiduciaries criminal conduct.

THORPE TRUST COUNSEL EVE KARASIK ONGOING (2014-2024) BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES TO THE TRUST – RACKETEERING, CONCEALMENT OF TRUSTEE/TAC FRAUD, MISLEADING BENEFICIARIES

Your close and personal friend Eve Karasik, Thorpe Trusts’ Counsel, has breached her Fiduciary Duties to the Trust by concealing and enabling Thorpe Trust Fraud for the past decade. Ms. Karasik has known of Trust Advisory Committee fraud  and done nothing but enable the same.

For example, in 2010, Ms. Karasik knew the Chairman of the Thorpe Trusts Alan Brayton filed fraudulent Trust claims (Kananian). Karasik concealed this information in Annual Reports.

In 2012-2014, through litigation with my office, Karasik became aware of insider dealing and self-dealing among Trust Fiduciaries. Karasik concealed this information in the Thorpe Trusts Annual Reports thus (again) breaching the duty of loyalty to the Trust and Beneficiaries.

In 2016, Karasik became aware that Brayton (Chairman of the Thorpe Trust Advisory Committee) was using Beneficiary Trust Funds – with the assistance of Fiduciaries at the Trust – as his personal piggy bank. Karasik was presented with an actual Trust Check wherein Beneficiary Trust funds were used to pay for Brayton’s wedding. Karasik concealed this information from the Beneficiaries to further additional Trust fraud.

And now, in the 2023 Thorpe Trusts Annual Reports, Ms. Karasik not only conceals information germane to the Beneficiaries (Simmons Hanly Conroy complaint), but also  misleads beneficiaries regarding me (Michael Mandelbrot) and my office (the Mandelbrot Law Firm) by indicating that I have been “publishing” falsities related to the Thorpe Trusts. Trust.

Simmons Hanly Conroy has filed claims worth well over $10M with the Thorpe Trusts – many of which are fraudulent or misleading. This is information germane to the Beneficiaries being concealed by Karasik. Karasik’s duty is to suspend Simmons Hanly Conroy and to audit every claim they’ve ever filed.

I suspect Ms. Karasik is referring to my blog at www.mesothelioma.pro when indicating that I have been publishing falsities. Let me be clear – everything in my blog is 100% accurate, true and supported with facts and documents. Everything! I put the Brayton wedding check on my blog which Karasik concealed? Is that inaccurate? There is information about your close and personal connection to Karasik – is that inaccurate? Ms. Karasik makes a blanket statement about Mandelbrot inaccuracy in the Thorpe Trusts 2023 Annual Reports yet fails to cite one example of the same. Ms. Karasik’s statement is not just defamatory, but it is designed to mislead Thorpe Trust Beneficiaries from Karasik’s criminal endeavors and theft.

Please request Ms. Karasik remove these defamatory references to me and my office. My writings are accurate. If Ms. Karasik is going to reference my blog as inaccurate, please require her to state which of the posts is inaccurate (none are).

Judge Bluebond – you have been intimately familiar with and have enabled the ongoing criminal conduct at the Thorpe Trusts since at least 2010. Your duty is to ensure that the Annual Reports are accurate and contain information germane to the Beneficiaries (such as a Billion-dollar lawsuit against Asbestos Trust Fiduciaries). Please do your job for once.

Sincerely,

 

Michael Mandelbrot
