Rebecca Sciarrino – Munger Tolles & Olson’s Queen of Harassment, Fraud, Excessive Billing to Asbestos Trusts
It’s been 3 months of harassment, bad faith, and misappropriation by Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Rebecca Sciarrino and the egomaniac Stuart Senator. Could there be 2 more disgraceful and narcissistic individuals. They have harassed me. They have harassed my wife. They have harassed my staff. They have harassed my dog. All related to a subpoena where I am not even a party and have no interest in the case. It is the definition of unethical conduct by MTO’s Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator….solely to harass and to misappropriate Trust funds.
Opposition to Ankura’s Wasteful Motion to Compel filed 1.11.2022
Simply put, Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP Rebecca Sciarrino (AKA “Becca”) and Stuart Senator are an embarrassment to all lawyers. Having dealt with this pathetic lawyer Becca Sciarrino now for 3 months, I can confidently say the following:
- Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator excessively bills clients with wasteful and bad faith Motions to make her billable hours;
- Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator are compulsive liars who will misrepresent the record;
- Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator are “enablers” of Fraud – mass fraud. MTO is happy to represent companies (Ankura Consulting LLC) who Sciarrino KNOWS has stolen Billions of Dollars and ruined many esteemed careers. “Hire us if you want to commit fraud…”
So how did I get stuck dealing the corrupt Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator.
Sciarrino and Senator represent Ankura Consulting (“The Most Corrupt Company in Washington D.C.”).
Ankura Consulting LLC is being sued for conducting (one of many) sham Audits which ruined the distinguished career of Dr. William Durham. Ankura’s audit was complete sham with insider dealing, corruption, complete lies by Ankura (and Marla Eskin – Trust lawyer), and Fiduciary (Steven Kazan) breach of Fiduciary Duty. Durham sued Ankura. Here is a copy of the Complaint – Dr. Durham v. Ankura Consulting – SHAM AUDITS – MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS.
My office – the Mandelbrot Law Firm received a Subpoena in this case from Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator. I met and conferred with them. In fact, I produced all documents Ankura and Munger, Tolles & Olson/Rebecca Sciarrino and Senator requested.
Here they are: Correspondence – Dr. Durham – Correspondence with Durham 01.03.2019-06.22.2020 pages 1 to 39 Correspondence with Durham 07.06.2018-01.03.2019 – Pages 1-40. However, according to Sciarrino (a complete production), this was insufficient (i.e. Becca Sciarrino had to “bill” more to make her hours).
So what did Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP’s Becca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator do? Excessively billed her client Ankura Consulting (Asbestos Trusts paying the bill) hundreds of thousands of dollars to write a worthless Motion to Compel. Disgraceful. Here it is: Wasteful Motion to Compel filed by Becca Sciarrino to make her billable hours (MTO corruption). How much money did Rebecca Sciarrino WASTE on this Motion? $100,000.00? More? This Motion is entire MOOT. Discovery is closed in the case AND both parties agreed that no documents would be exchanged after the filing of Durham’s Complaint. Basically, Sciarrino (under her douchebag supervisor Stuart Senator) wrote a 200 page Motion which is WORTHLESS. Solely filed to Harass my office! What a colossal waste of resources!!
Want to know what’s worse? Discovery is closed the in the underlying Durham v. Ankura Consulting LLC on January 18, 2022 and this Motion, when written, was scheduled to be heard a month later rendering it completely moot. “Big Law Fraud” at MTO!! How desperate are Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator to get their “billable hours”? Do they really have to steal Asbestos Victim’s funds in violation of D.O.J. Rules? Department of Justice Chapter 11 Handbook – Numerous Violations by Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator
Following my COMPLETE production of documents and this Motion – I reached out to Becca Sciarrino and requested she take this wasteful and worthless Motion off Calendar. She refused. Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator lied. Rebeecca Sciarrino misrepresented the record. Becca Sciarrino refused to take her Motion off Calendar. Rebecca Sciarrino and Stuart Senator- harassers, excessive billers, terrible lawyers.
What’s crazy? Rebecca Sciarrino sues insurance companies for bad faith Rebecca Sciarrino Suing Insurance Companies (Bad Faith) while at the same time engaging in massive Bad Faith while representing companies (Ankura Consulting LLC.) –

Subject: Dr. William H. Durham M.D. v. Ankura Consulting Group, LLC – Case No: 2.20-CU-112-KS-MTP
Mr. Senator and Ms. Sciarrino (Fraudsters),
Please allow this e-mail to serve as a follow up from my e-mail of December 17, 2021 regarding your Subpoena in Dr. William H. Durham M.D. v. Ankura Consulting Group, LLC – Case No: 2.20-CU-112-KS-MTP.
I spoke with my client Dr. Durham this weekend. Dr. Durham informed me of 2 critical facts which you clearly concealed in bad faith and to further your harassment of me and my office:
1) In Dr. William H. Durham M.D. v. Ankura Consulting Group, LLC – Case No: 2.20-CU-112-KS-MTP, there is an agreement among Counsel that “no documents will be exchanged or produced from after June 22, 2020” – the date of the filing of Mr. Durham’s Complaint; and
2) Discovery is closed in Dr. William H. Durham M.D. v. Ankura Consulting Group, LLC – Case No: 2.20-CU-112-KS-MTP January 14, 2021.
As a result, I will not be producing a “Privilege Log” as previously indicated.
Moreover, and more importantly, your Filing (In re Mandelbrot) violates numerous Bankruptcy Criminal Codes (see 18 U.S.C. §152-154 and attached), numerous California Ethical and Business and Professional Codes, as well as your duties of Professional Responsibility.
You (Senator and Sciarrino) have egregiously violated your professional duties by using the legal process for personal ends (…inflate billable hours, steal millions Asbestos Victim’s Trust funds) and improper end (…to solely harass me and my office). We look forward to filing a State Bar Complaint (note, this is not a ‘threat’, this is a promise). You presented to the Court frivolous papers to harass and cause unnecessary delay and expense. Disgraceful. Unethical. Criminal. Fraud on the Court. Your Motion was “moot” at the time of filing. Typical MTO.
In addition, you two (corrupt clowns) no doubt have billed Ankura no less than $250,000.00 for this Motion and fraudulent pursuit of my office. Probably more. Are you going to pay that money back to the Trust? That is Asbestos Victim’s money! Did you really have to steal victim’s money to make your billable hours and to further Ankura’s fraud? Deplorable. I look forwarding to notifying the Asbestos Trustees and D.O.J. of this theft (although they will probably do nothing since you collude with them).
Ms. Sciarrino, we can only assume that your theft of Trust Funds (sham billables) was pay for your bad faith State Farm water damage case. The attached case is you? As a ‘champion’ in engaging in and enabling bad faith (clearly your modus operandi), this is again disgraceful. You spend a career engaging in Bad Faith, you represent those (Ankura) engaging in Bad Faith, and now you ‘play the victim’ and sue State Farm for Bad Faith? Check my blog for a posting on this. Two-faced fraud.
Please confirm your Motion is being taken off Calendar. You are still in a “safe harbor” window to remove your frivolous, inept, corrupt, and bad faith Motion.
Thanks,
Mike

Dear Mr. Mandelbrot,
Your email makes clear on its face that you have not produced all documents responsive to the subpoenas, either for the period before your unilaterally imposed and arbitrary cut-off date of March 10, 2020, or for the period after that.
Ankura’s motion to compel addresses your unjustified position that you may unilaterally produce only what you contend are the documents not produced by Dr. Durham. Your current apparent contention – that Ankura should go through your incomplete production, compare it to Dr. Durham’s production, and try to figure out on a document-by-document basis what is missing, and then bring a list of those missing documents to you, whereupon you will determine whether to produce them – is just as illegitimate, and further undermines your burden objection.
Ankura has already addressed your unsupported privilege claim, and your email below continues your failure to provide any support for it.
We reserve all rights with respect to your gratuitous, false and defamatory statements, which you have made in emails, on your website, and in our telephone conference. Please cease and desist.
Until and unless it is clear to us that you have produced all documents responsive to Ankura’s subpoenas, Ankura will proceed with its motion to compel. In that regard, we are attaching and have also sent by mail the Court’s orders that recently set a new schedule for the filing of further papers, and the hearing on Ankura’s motion, and gives you ample time to prepare your response. We also attach here a copy of the Court’s Civil Standing Order, we which have also sent to you by mail. Finally, we attach a docket entry setting a consent/declination deadline.
Sincerely,
Rebecca

Subject: Re: Response to Subpoena (Part 3 of 3)
Ms. Sciarrino,
Please cut with the lies. You’ve reviewed every page that I sent (….”a limited review” is laughable…). Your “significant questions” is just a ruse to continue to harass me and my office while trying to further Ankura’s criminal corruption.
As I indicated in my response, if there are ANY attachments which you don’t have, I will promptly provide them. You’ve now identified 2 – A November 1 or 2, 2018 and a September 27, 2019 attachment. These are attached. Are there others?
My response to the Subpoena was comprehensive. My search was comprehensive. I’m happy to provide a Declaration indicating as such. If there e-mails or documents produced by Dr. Durham which I have not produced, please do identify them either by key word, date, or otherwise (instead of your vague accusations). I’m happy to determine if anything was missed, but I know my response was comprehensive.
I have provided complete documentation up until the filing of the Complaint. Any further e-mails are subject to attorney/client privilege and work product. If Dr. Durham has provided any further e-mails, please do provide them to me. In addition (and without wasting any further Trust monies), please provide with case law which stands for the proposition you are entitled to all e-mails with Durham to the present.
If you’re not going to take your Motion off Calendar (to keep the billing cycle going), please continue it a month which these issues are resolved. In the face of a good faith production, your Motion (filed during Meet and Confer discussions) is entirely harassing.
Thanks,
Mike

Dear Mr. Mandelbrot,
Even based on our limited analysis in the past few days since you made your production, significant questions about its completeness have become evident:
- Many of the emails that you have provided refer to attachments or screenshot images, but none of those attachments or images has been produced. For example, on November 1 and 2, 2018, you and Dr. Durham emailed regarding an affidavit from Andrew Yang. The affidavit was attached to those emails, but has not been produced. Similarly, on September 27, 2019, you emailed Dr. Durham referring to an attachment, which also has not been produced. These examples are not an exhaustive list but, rather, are intended to illustrate why your production appears incomplete.
- Dr. Durham has produced correspondence with you, which you have not produced.
- The subpoenas seek documents through the present, but the most recent email that you produced was sent on March 10, 2020. We understand from discussions with Dr. Durham’s counsel that you have communicated with Dr. Durham more recently than March 10, 2020.
We certainly hope that we can resolve these issues, but it would be inappropriate to take our motion off calendar at this time.
Sincerely,
Rebecca

Subject: Response to Subpoena (Part 3 of 3)
Ms. Sciarrino,
Please allow this e-mail (Part 3 of 3). To serve as a full and complete response to your Subpoena.
My office (in good faith) agreed to speak with you today, 12/10/2021, after determining the extent of Dr. Durham’s production relating to my office (which I did).
Nonetheless, totally expected that you would file a Motion to Compel in an effort to misappropriate Trust (victim) Funds. How much did you bill Ankura (which you KNOW is paid by the Asbestos Trusts) to write that Motion to Compel? At least $200,000.00 (no doubt you passed it to multiple lawyers in your office to increase the billing. Did you really have to ‘steal’ from Asbestos Victim’s funds to make your billable hour requirements and/or increase your bonus? Disgraceful theft. Especially given your representation of Ankura (“The Most Corrupt Company in Washington D.C.) who your Firm is aware is has engaged in mass corruption and fraud (while misappropriating Billions of dollars in Trust funds).
Please confirm you will be taking your (worthless and wasteful) Motion off Calendar as I have now fully and completely complied with your request for documents.
If there are any attachments in any of the e-mails which you do not have, please let me know and I will send them over.
Thanks,
Mike

Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP — The “Enablers” of Asbestos Trust Fraud (Stuart Senator, Becca Sciarrino) —
Stuart Senator – Munger Tolles & Olson Most Corrupt Lawyer – King of Fraud and Asbestos Trust Fund Theft
The “Enablers” of Asbestos Trust Fraud (Stuart Senator, Becca Sciarrino)
Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP tout themselves as “Big Law”. False.
Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP ‘defines’ corruption. No Law Firm in America ‘enables’ fraud, theft and corruption more than Munger Tolles & Olson LLP
The Truth – Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP engages in corruption, fraud, and misappropriation of funds. To wit:
- No U.S. Law Firm in 2021 has been more instrumental in Asbestos Trust Corruption and Fraud than Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP.
- No U.S. Law Firm in 2021 (excessively) billed Asbestos Trusts more than Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP lawyers
Stuart Senator and Becca Sciarrino – thus misappropriating/stealing millions from Asbestos Victims (to further Trust Fraud) - No U.S. Law Firm in 2021 (except Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP) would represent Ankura Consulting LLC (The “Kings of Asbestos Trust Fraud and Theft”) – who wrongfully banned multiple esteemed Doctors from Asbestos Trusts to further Trust fund theft. Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP was ‘happy’ to represent Ankura Consulting LLC. so they could excessively bill Asbestos Trusts (millions stolen from victims…).
Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP ‘biggest’ Asbestos Trust Fund client in 2021 was none other than Ankura Consulting LLC (Washington D.C.’s Most Corrupt Company). Ankura engages in sexual harassment. Ankura engages in racial discrimination. And even worse, Ankura Consulting engages in extensive corruption, fraud, insider dealing and theft (at least $100 million dollars). And who does Ankura hire to defend them? Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP! Any decent Law Firm would reject this client. Not Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP. Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP will jump at any chance to bill/steal/misappropriate Asbestos Trust Funds.
Simply put, Munger, Tolles & Olson is the U.S. Law Firm to hire IF you want engage in corruption, fraud, theft, and insider dealing…and get away with it.
Here is a Motion filed by Munger, Tolles & Olson solely to “misappropriate Asbestos Victim’s funds”. Becca Sciarrino (a terrible attorney) had to make her MTO hourly billing requirements and filed the below worthless Motion – thus ‘stealing’ hundreds of thousands of dollars from Asbestos Victims (who get stuck paying her corrupt client’s bills…)…
