Asbestos Trust Corruption – Cronyism, Insider Dealing, and Fraud by Fiduciaries Steven Kazan and Alan Brayton – Over $2,000,000,000.00 (BILLION) Misappropriated…Asbestos Victims Lose….

Asbestos Trust Fiduciaries are a “Pack of Frauds”….every single one of them!

The worst of them all are Plaintiff Lawyers Steven Kazan and Alan Brayton. By far! Kazan and Brayton are ‘supposed’ to be Fiduciaries for victims, not the biggest white collar criminals in the Country. But they’ve chosen the latter.

These two (clowns) Kazan and Brayton – have a duty to act in the best interest of ALL Asbestos Claimants – but they don’t. Not these corrupt clowns Kazan and Brayton. Self dealing. Blatant theft of Trust Funds. Lavish trips. Using Asbestos Victims’ Trust Funds for their wedding (Brayton)! Simply, Alan R. Brayton and Steven Kazan are criminals behind the biggest theft in the Country….

Together, Kazan and Brayton have misappropriated over $2,000,000,000.00. Yes, TWO BILLION dollars. Chump change to these two clowns….especially when they have been using Trust Funds as their personal ATM Machines….

But Kazan and Brayton needed help committing such mass fraud. Big help. And they got it. The “Asbestos Cartel” was happy to oblige. The Asbestos Mafia….

Were Judges involved in Asbestos Trust Fund theft? Absolutely – Judge Sheri Bluebond – Bankruptcy Judge, Los Angeles, CA is just one….there are definitely others!! And former Asbestos Defense Lawyers – have they now aligned with their former enemies Kazan and Brayton to join the Asbestos Trust Mafia? Absolutely!! Despite rules prohibited these ‘biased’ individuals – former Asbestos Defense Lawyers are involved too!! –

Let’s introduce you to the Asbestos Trust Mafia – A Cartel of Disgraceful, Deplorable, and Corrupt Lawyers…

Do you want to know why $10 Billion Dollars is “missing” from Asbestos Victim Trust Funds? Look no further than the individuals below….bottom feeders, fraudsters, disgraceful thieves…disguised as Asbestos Trust “Fiduciaries”….

You need to follow the Honeywell v. NARCO Asbestos Trust case. In that case, the Insurance Company is suing the NARCO Asbestos Because Trust Advisory Committee Members have used the Asbestos Trust Funds…”like a bottomless ATM”…Honeywell v. NARCO Asbestos Trust – Attorney Steven Kazan Using Trust Funds Like a Bottomless ATM

The facts (allegations) further discuss NARCO Trust Advisory Committee Members (such as Steven Kazan) Insider Dealing, filing fraudulent claims, and committing criminal Conduct. To date it’s estimated these individuals (including Steven Kazan) have misappropriated at least $200 Million from the NARCO Asbestos Trust. And you want to know what’s crazy? The exact same thing happens at nearly every Asbestos Trust in the Country! The only difference here in the NARCO Trust case is there is “oversight” of the Trust Advisory Committee (TAC/Steven Kazan) by the insurance companies who fund the NARCO Asbestos Trust. And they have found a bunch of criminal rats…. In total, it is easy to estimate that $10 Billion Dollars have been misappropriated from Asbestos Trusts. At least…

But who else is responsible for this theft of Asbestos Trust Funds? Steve Kazan and his fellow TAC Members can’t do it along…They need “enablers”. Individuals who are ‘happy’ to commit fraud and theft to line their pockets. Judges, Former Judges, Lawyers, and Bottom Feeders. They are all involved. So who are these individuals?

The list below contains some of the worst, most corrupt, dishonest, bribable, and disgraceful individuals in America. Bottom-feeders. Collectively, these “bottom-feeders” have misappropriated at least $5 Billion dollars from Asbestos Disease Victims – the Victims they are all paid handsomely to protect. $10 Billion!!!

Do these “Dirty 50” care? Probably not.These are “soulless” individuals. Disgracefully acting with impunity and knowingly committing fraud — but they just don’t care. If you know any of these individuals below – be warned. Most are pathological liars. Each has knowingly stolen asbestos monies (or enabled the same).

If you do know these individuals, do you realize that those fancy cars they’re driving, those nice homes they live in, and the food they put on their table is paid for with stolen Asbestos Trust funds? Did you know that Holiday Gift that bought you or paid you came from misappropriated funds? These individuals are the “worst of the worst”. Each individual below ‘kills’ the reputations of all lawyers (and Judges) with their corrupt actions and inactions. Collectively happy to steal asbestos victim funds to “live their lifestyle”.

Criminal conduct? Absolutely. They just don’t care! Many, many violations of the Criminal Sections of the Department of Justice Chapter 11 Rules — but these fraudsters just don’t care. All protecting each other to make a few bucks. The most corrupt 50 individuals in America.

Why hasn’t the Department of Justice stepped up and gone after these individuals? While the Department of Justice has sued Trusts recently for Medicare Fraud, we all know who will pay any settlement, judgement, and ALL the defense costs — The Asbestos Victims’ Trust Funds! Not the Corrupt, Fraudsters below. Why hasn’t 1 (just ONE) Trustee stepped up and stopped this mass fraud? They are all of the ‘take’. All happy to be receiving their Trustee Fees for doing nothing. And what about the Futures Representatives and their attorneys? It is their “Fiduciary Duty” to preserve these funds. What a joke! Each is clearly on the ‘take’. And who pays them? As always – the Asbestos Victims’ funds.

Does anyone realize these individuals use the Asbestos Victim’s Trust funds as their “personal piggy banks”?….Having already misappropriating at least $10 Billion in Asbestos Trust Funds? The evidence of corruption by these individuals below is overwhelming. Actual Checks for a Trust Fiduciary’s (Alan Brayton’s) Wedding! (see below). Where dozens of individuals working for Trusts were given all expenses paid trips to the wedding! Evidence ‘hidden’ in Annual Reports of improper payments of over $50 Million! (Eve Karasik, Steven Snyder, Gary Fergus, Laura Paul, Sara Beth Brown). Evidence of lying before Congress (Steven Kazan). But nothing stops these corrupt individuals. Acting with impunity like a criminal “Cartel”. Deplorable humans.

Let’s introduce you the most Corrupt individuals in the Country!!

Collectively – over $10 Billion Criminally Misappropriated through Insider Dealing Fraud, Bribes and Villainous Individuals…
