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!

How Steven Kazan and Alan Brayton Misappropriated Billions from Asbestos Trust Funds in 4 Simple Steps

The “Methods” of Corruption of 2 California Asbestos Lawyers

Every present and future victim of asbestos diseases will receive less money because of 2 very corrupt lawyers – Steven Kazan and Alan Brayton. Look in any Asbestos Trust By-Laws and Trust Distribution Procedures and you will find them. Collectively, Steven Kazan and Alan Brayton control nearly every Asbestos Trust in the Country (approximately 30 Trusts totaling nearly $30 BILLION dollars). They are “Fiduciaries” for the victims of asbestos diseases. But on each Trust, Kazan and Brayton breach that “Fiduciary Duty”. Insider dealing? Yes! Concealment of Asbestos Trust sites? Yes. Collusion? Yes. The net result? The misappropriation of BILLIONS of dollars to Kazan and Brayton.

For years it has been taking place: Fraud – Bad Faith – Concealment of Asbestos Companies Liability Sites!

This week’s example – The Kaiser Aluminum Asbestos Settlement Trust (KACC – Kaiser Refractories) – A Trust with over $600 million in assets being corrupted by Alan Brayton, Steven Kazan, Bob Capritti, Kimberly Lavin, Dan Myer and a host of other “Fiduciaries” conspiring to engage in fraud and concealment.

EVERY TRUST! Every Trust in which Steven Kazan and  Alan Brayton are Fiduciaries, there is corruption taking place. Every one. Who loses? Asbestos Victims! While these ‘lawyers’ champion themselves as advocates for victims of asbestos disease, the “Truth” is that they have misappropriated BILLIONS of dollars from Asbestos Victims and that every present and future victim of asbestos disease will receive ‘less’ recovery because of the fraud of these two individuals. So how do they do it?

One method is crystal clear —

CONCEALMENT OF JOB SITES WHERE EVERY ASBESTOS COMPANY WAS PRESENT SO THAT CURRENT AND FUTURE VICTIMS OF ASBESTOS DISEASE CANNOT RECOVER THE TRUSTS

Verus LLC Fiduciary Bob Capritti – Costing Asbestos Victims Millions

One man is costing ASARCO Asbestos Trust victims millions of dollars. At the same time, this same individual is misappropriating millions and millions of ASARCO victims funds to himself and “favored” Law Firms (i.e. Brayton Purcell, Kazan McClain…). This is some of the most egregious (criminal) examples of bankruptcy fraud in history. Ignorant? Yes. Acting in Bad Faith? Yes. Imbecilic? Without question! So who is the man behind the ASARCO Asbestos Bankruptcy Trust Fraud?  The Department of Justice rules say he’s supposed to a “Fiduciary” – someone who operates with the “highest level” of duty and good faith. But these rules mean nothing to him! He’s a complete fraud.

That man is Bob Capritti — Attorney, Fiduciary, and ASARCO Asbestos Trust Representative.

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:

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.
