OPINION
Let Justice Roll On Like a River, Righteousness Like A Never-Failing Stream….(James Comey, quoting Amos 5:24)….
A misappropriation of victims funds took place in grand proportion on December 12, 2017. A simple hearing took place before Judge Sheri Bluebond where no more than one lawyer is needed.
So how many did the Thorpe Insulation and J.T. Thorpe Settlement Trusts send? – 10 Lawyers!
Yes – 10 lawyers were sent by the Thorpe Insulation and the J.T. Thorpe, Inc. Settlement Trust for a 15 min hearing!! A gross misappropriation of funds by a pack of frauds. 7 in Courtroom – 3 on the telephone. The Thorpe Trusts needed one lawyer – they sent 10!
This a perfect example of Asbestos Trust Fraud and the Concealment of Documents – The G-I (GAF) Asbestos Settlement Trust!
The G-I Asbestos Settlement Trust (Verus LLC) has the Invoices of GAF and Ruberoid depicting decades of sales of asbestos products! They have them! Thousands and Thousands of invoices. But do the Beneficiaries get to see these asbestos liability documents….documents Verus has a “Fiduciary Duty to Produce to Beneficiaries? NO.

Editors Note: 10/19/2017 – Jason Rubinstein fails to get this Blog Post Removed – Without ever contacting the Mandelbrot Law Firm or Michael Mandelbrot, corrupt New York Lawyer attempted to get this post removed. Using his Firm’s authority and Manville Trust Funds (since we know he ‘billed’ for his time), Rubinstein wrote a letter to my website provider attaching the below post and many other of my blog posts and requesting the provider remove this blog. I look forward to posting the letter!
Apparently, the “Harvard trained” Rubinstein forgot about the 1st Amendment, “Fair use”, and didn’t like the truth being told. Simply put, Jason Rubinstein’s conduct, actions, bad faith and misrepresentations have cost thousands of asbestos victims. Not only is Rubinstein misappropriating Manville Trust funds (under Garelick’s direction) through ‘sham’ and excessive billings, but those very billings are solely to harm thousands more present and future victims of the Manville Trust (represented by me). Knowing that I have never filed an unreliable claim with any Trust (yet alone Manville where my office successfully filed hundreds of claims), the loser Rubinstein continues to misrepresent facts about my office’s claim filings solely to harm asbestos victims and my office. Rubinstein KNOWS he’s engaging in racketeering, fraud, and the misappropriating of Trust funds (solely to further Kazan and Brayton fraud and bad faith), but seemingly has no ethics. A completely disgraceful lawyer — Jason Rubinstein.
Note from Michael Mandelbrot regarding successful Appeal against Thorpe Trusts –
This was a long time coming! It’s been decades of bad faith and corruption by the J.T. Thorpe, Inc. (jttstrust.com) Settlement Trust Fiduciaries and Thorpe Insulation Settlement Trust Fiduciaries (www.tistrust.com). My office was only sued for exposing this corruption and misappropriation of funds by these Fiduciaries. Everyone knows I have never filed an unreliable claim and in fact, my office files the most thorough and reliable claims in the Country. These fraudsters tried to wipe out the “Whistleblower” (me) through a sham lawsuits, sham audits, judicial bias, and bad faith — while misappropriating millions of dollars of victims funds in the process (Gary Fergus, attorney in California ‘stole’ millions). This victory in the Appeal of the bad faith lawsuit me is one step towards justice. Justice for me. Justice for my office. Justice for my family. And justice for all victims of asbestos diseases.
The pack of fraudsters and co-conspirators who run these Trusts, including Trust Fiduciaries Alan Brayton, Sara Beth Brown, Gary Fergus, Stephen Snyder, and David McClain have misappropriated nearly a billion dollars from Thorpe, Western and J.T. Thorpe Trust Beneficiaries, while breaching their duty to these same Beneficiaries. Here are examples of mass Trust Fraud and Misappropriations by the “Fiduciaries” who sued me:
Opinion/Editorial
Bernie Madoff/Steven Kazan — Steven Kazan/Bernie Madoff.
The comparisons are undeniable. Both misappropriated billions of dollars. Both enriched friends/family at the expense of victims. Both held themselves out “pioneers” while committing vast fraud. Both will leave a legacy of fraud and bad faith impacting tens of thousands of victims solely to enrich themselves. Unfortunately, only one of them is in jail. Madoff. The other (Kazan) continues to misappropriate funds from asbestos claimant. The difference? In every Asbestos Trust Kazan inserts a “License to Commit Fraud” thus allowing him to continue his wrath of dishonesty (i.e. …“No Asbestos Claimants’ Representative are to have or incur any liability to any Entity for any act or omissions arising out of the Chapter 11 cases or during the entirety of the Chapter 11 cases). 2 Criminals (although only one has been convicted – Madoff) – 2 “Losers” – 2 of the biggest fund frauds in history – 2 very bad individuals.
Opinion
THE PIONEERS OF ASBESTOS TRUST FRAUD AND MISAPPROPRIATION
For decades, lawyers Steven Kazan, Alan Brayton, and David McClain have held themselves as “Pioneers” of Asbestos Litigation. The reality is – They are the “Pioneers of Asbestos Trust Fraud”. Billions (yes, billions) of dollars set aside for victims of asbestos have been misappropriated by these 3.

Updated Regularly since the Asbestos Trust Corruption is ongoing….
Opinion (Michael J. Mandelbrot, 25 years Asbestos Plaintiff Attorney)
It’s Official – A Mafia exists in the world of Asbestos Litigation. I know because I worked at a “Mafia” member’s Firm, saw the activities first hand, and have now dealt with these corrupt Fiduciaries (the “Asbestos Trust Mafia”) for over 20 years. Nothing below would be printed were it not true and supported by factual and/or documentary evidence. For 30 years these dishonest lawyers have ‘raped’ Companies, Trusts, and Asbestos Victims to the tune of billions….
