Joe Ferreiro Indicted Again.

September 16, 2013 at 1:43 P.M. NYPL, Morningside Heights branch. The essay that appears below was obstructed from my home lap-top, but I was able, finally, to post this text. Perhaps it is to Mr. Ferreiro that the "N.J. Consumer Affairs Order" applies. 

Maybe this so-called Order refers to a reimbursal to one of the clients contacted, illegally, by Gilberto Garcia, who needed the money and stole clients from my office? The Order is probably moot, based on fraud, or may refer to someone other than myself? Statute of limitations on contracts (unenforcable after 7 years?) may render the point moot since this purports to be a civil Order. Please keep posting such items, OAE. It all helps now.

Peter J. Sampson, "Ferreiro Indicted Again: Among Accusations is $1.7 MILLION Extortion Plot On Failed Meadowlands Project," The Record, September 12, 2013, p. A-1. (Mr. Ferreiro may be going back to prison.)

Karen Rouse, "N.J. Transit Kept Costly Payouts From Public View," The Record, September 12, 2013, p. A-1. (Like the OAE, N.J. Transit tries to keep evidence of wrongdoing and incompetence from "getting out.")

Los Angeles Times, "U.S. Wealth Gap Approaches One Hundred Year High," The Record, September 12, 2013, p. A-10. (95% of government tax benefits accrue to the top 1% of income earners.)

Joel Rosenblatt, "Corzine Asks Court to Throw Out Suits in Trading Debacle: Ex-Governor Says Regulators Have No Evidence," The Record, September 12, 2013, p. L-8. ($6 BILLION collapse of trading house resulting in nearly $2 BILLION in "missing" client money is no big deal. Mr. Corzine was represented, as N.J. governor, by the DeCotiis law firm. No lawyers are facing ethics charges as a result of these, allegedly, fraudulent filings and missing money.)

Diana Lisa Riccioli's political protection in N.J. (her long list of "friends") may be diminishing because so many formerly prominent Garden State officials are going to prison, some not for the first time. ("Diana's Friend Goes to Prison" and "Marilyn Straus Was Right!" then "Deborah T. Poritz and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey.")

Among Diana's friends are Mr. Zisa and Mr. Ferreiro in Bergen County, which may explain Diana's one-time decision to move her "office" to Paramus to be near the mall. Recently, Diana may have returned to Clifton. 

Is Diana Lisa Riccioli still listed as a "therapist" anywhere in New Jersey? ("Trenton's Nasty Lesbian Love-Fest!")

"JOSEPH A. FERREIRO abused his power and influence as the Chairman of Bergen County's Democratic Party by engaging in bribery, kickback and shakedown schemes, including a plot to EXTORT $1.7 million from a prior developer of the Meadowlands retail and entertainment project now known as American Dream, a federal grand jury alleged Wednesday." 

Bob Menendez is "alleged" to be an "unindicted co-consirator" to the various scams surrounding the so-called Xanadu project that is now "American Dream" development. 

The failed plan to build a shopping mall in the Meadowlands has consumed $4 BILLION with no prospective date of completion for this so-called shopping mall. New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs is not interested in this matter? ("Senator Bob Loves Xanadu!" and "Senator Menendez Says 'Xanadu and You Are Perfect Together!'")

"Ferreiro, 56, once among the state's most powerful political leaders, was indicted on federal racketeering charges, accused of soliciting $35,000 [per month] from a Virginia-based real estate investment trust that developed the Meadowlands project, formerly known as Xanadu."

I met Mr. Ferreiro (at his request) at his law office when he made inquiries of me, possibly at the behest of Bob Menendez, an old political ally and, as it were, "a partner in crime" of Mr. Ferreiro's. ("Does Senator Menendez have mafia friends?" and "Mafia Influence in New Jersey Courts and Politics.")

Significantly, Mr. Ferreiro was a member of the state's legal ethics committee, despite his alleged mafia affiliations, and was (also allegedly) one of the attorneys recruited to come after me. I am flattered. ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System" then "Have you no shame, Mr. Rabner?")

Is Mr. Ferreiro what the OAE considers an "ethical New Jersey attorney" and my "superior"? ("John McGill, Esq., the OAE, and New Jersey Corruption.")

Let us examine the mechanism used in these extortions and how they illustrate New Jersey's "pay-to-play" legal ethics as compared with my ethics:

"The trust made the illicit payments through its Teaneck law firm from 2002 to 2006 in exchange for Ferreiro's help in securing endorsements and official support, and to prevent him and others from opposing the project, the indictment alleges."

By way of comparison, see "Bribery in Union City, New Jersey" and "Is Menendez For Sale?" then "New Jersey's Child Sex Industry" and "Menendez Consorts With Underage Prostitutes."

Essentially, Mr. Ferreiro and his law partner(s) went to "Mills" (the developer) and offered to "represent" them rather than a competitor to Mills (who had offered to bribe Ferreiro for more money, or so they claimed) to "get" the public funds in New Jersey for the project. If Mills did not provide $35,000 per month to Ferreiro's "consulting firm," the "boys" would "work for the opposition." ("6 Government Officials Indicted in New Jersey" and "7 Executives Indicted in N.J. Engineering Firm.") 

A new developer has appeared on the scene once more as the Bergen County Improvement Authority has just signed off on an application for $800 MILLION in bonds to be issued to finance the new incarnation of the Xanadu Mall/American Dream Real Estate Project. ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead" and "Cement is Gold.")

Among the usual suspects are KENNETH HOLLENBECK, ESQ. and Bob Menendez front-man, DONALD SCARINSCI, ESQ., Mr. Ferreiro's former law partners and alleged "bag men" for Senator Menendez. ("Senator Bob, the Babe, and the Big Bucks" and "Menendez Gets Over On the Feds.")

This is to say nothing of the continued shadowy presence of convicted con man and former attorney, also a member of the legal ethics committee that went after me, DENNIS OURY, ESQ., who now resides in Naples, Florida -- a mafia retirement community, allegedly. 

Was there a connection between Mr. Ferreiro's call to me and the Rose law firm? Or did the call come from Mr. Oury and/or Alex Booth, Esq.? 

Mills was formerly represented by the Teaneck-based law firm De Cotiis, Fitzpatrick, Cole and Wisler. ("Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics" and "New Jersey's Politically-Connected Lawyers On the Tit" then "Eric Wisler, Esq. is an Ethical New Jersey Attorney.")

"The indictment also accuses Ferreiro of accepting kickbacks during his time as the county's Democratic Chairman from a Nutley software developer who sought his help in obtaining public contracts in various Bergen County municipalities. [Barbara Buono?] The software developer agreed to pay Ferreiro a quarter to a third of the gross receipts from any contracts he obtained as a result of Ferreiro's recommendations to various public officials, the indictment alleges."
