Thomas Moran, Esq. is an Ethical New Jersey Attorney.
November 16, 2010 at 3:15 P.M. "Errors" inserted since this morning will now be corrected. I am writing from a public computer. My computer has been shut off since this morning. ("How Censorship Works in America.")
November 16, 2010 at 10:36 A.M. Intense attacks against this essay, obstacles to running a security scan of my computer, further harassing phone calls and, maybe, more cigarette boxes filled with cash and credit cards must be expected from Trenton in the days and weeks ahead. I will place a box outside my door for death threats and other messages to be deposited by New Jersey's lawyer-hoodlums. Stuart Rabner, perhaps?

Take a look at this typical example of New Jersey shenanigans:
"The Local Finance Board unanimously approved $18.3 million in borrowing for Oakwood Plaza in Elizabeth, a 357-unit rental complex whose owners had secured a $20 million state grant last year with the help of the city and the Union County Improvement Authority."
I was pleased to see the name of law school friend, John Hudak, Esq., who is a Lesniak associate and/or friend and who made good use of my outline in one course, as I recall.
"The grant was finalized before local officials had filed an application, and prior to a deadline for similar projects around the state to submit a bid for funding. The Record and Herald News [sic.] found in an examination of public documents. The arrangement was so unusual that Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff, at his hearing to be named Treasury commissioner in February, said it 'raised a number of legal questions.' .."
Yeah, like what happened to the money that was to be paid with a loan from the state? How much were lawyers charging for the "paperwork"?
You get the capital from the chumps that is then paid for by the chumps -- after you spend the money on improvements or "something." Is that the deal? Was that the plan? ("Law and Ethics in the Soprano State.")
"Joseph V. Doria Jr., Esq., the Community Affairs commissioner who outlined the deal in a one-page letter [the less the chumps know the better it is for the boys!] to county officials, told the Record that the grant source, the Urban Housing Assistance Fund, 'had no procedure established' because it was new."
They had no procedure to disburse PUBLIC funds. However, they decided for some unknown reason to give Joe ("Cement is Gold"!) Doria millions of dollars for "a little something, I don't know what"? Nice. You try to get that deal and let's see what happens. Get this:
"Doria resigned last year after federal agents raided his home and Trenton office on the day they made 44 arrests in an international money laundering investigation. Doria, a career Democratic politician" -- and Bob Menendez partner in Hudson County politics from Bayonne -- "was NEVER CHARGED in that case."
Joe Doria, were you a secret witness for the feds (allegedly) or did Bob Menendez put in a good word for ya with the feds (allegedly)?
How's that Bayonne deal with Menendez and federal money coming along, Joe?
$30 MILLION for a development deal in Bayonne on property possibly contaminated with chromium and "other" potentially harmful agents? Is that Bayonne deal "dead," Joe? Is that the threat against me? Are the Jersey Boys going to kill me because I am not "ethical"? ("New Jersey is the Home of the Living Dead.")
The twenty million went away when Christie asked: "What's what?" Now the authority has a problem figuring out how to repay $16.8 million that is gone with the wind. The entity was rescued from default "with a $4 million advance from Union County freeholders."
Where's the money? What was it spent on, Joe? They sure are "freeholders."
Dem guys. You gotta love their sense of humor.
Joe Doria, Esq. may have served on the Union and Hudson County Bar Associations' Ethics Committees. Connected, Joe? No wonder they're turning off my computer.
"Last year, federal prosecutors in New Jersey issued a five page press release and held a standing-room only news conference to announce Paul W. Bergrin, Esq. a defense lawyer to pop stars and drug kingpins, had been charged with running a racketeering enterprise specializing in silencing [killing] criminal witnesses."
Mr. Bergrin also operated a Manhattan prostitution business that made several million dollars in six months. None of the women involved in the business or generating the wealth were getting the millions of dollars. Allegedly, Bergrin was involved in illegal drugs and murders of witnesses. ("Is Paul Bergrin, Esq. an Ethical New Jersey Attorney?" and "New Jersey's Legal System is a Whore House.")
"Yet last month, prosecutors said nothing when a Monmouth County cocaine trafficker Vicente Estevez, pleaded guilty in the case and told a federal grand jury in Newark he conspired with Bergrin to murder a witness. No news conference. No press release. Not a word."
The current U.S. Attorney in New Jersey is a Democrat. Bergrin's political juice is mostly with Democrats, like Lesniak and Doria, allegedly. Hence, I doubt that federal prosecutors will now make a fuss about Mr. Bergrin's old "peccadillos." After all, Bergrin is also a former federal prosecutor. Incidentally, I have never been charged with a crime. Therefore, I could not have "admitted guilt." ("Burn Notice.")
"Prosecutors also were silent in August, when a second lawyer charged in the case, Thomas Moran of Paramus, admitted guilt and said he helped run Bergrin's operation, which authorities say also dabbled in mortgage fraud and drug running."
Mr. Moran may have served on the Passaic County Bar Association's Ethics Committee. These are my self-proclaimed "ethical superiors." ("New Jersey's Office of Attorney Ethics" and "New Jersey's 'Ethical' Legal System.")
Stuart Rabner, Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court and former colleague of Paul Bergrin, Esq. at the federal prosecutor's office may have enjoyed Bergrin's "hospitality." Rabner was said to share in the proceeds from the release of Angelo ("The Horn") Prisco from state prison. ("Stuart Rabner and Conduct Unbecoming to the Judiciary in New Jersey" and "No More Cover-Ups and Lies, Chief Justice Rabner!" then "Does Senator Menendez Have Mafia Friends?")
When are we going to meet, Mr. Rabner? Turning off my computer, illegally, will not solve New Jersey's corruption and incompetence nightmare nor will this censorship effort diminish your tribunal's and legal system's criminal responsibility for atrocities committed against me and the cover-ups that have ensued over many years. ("Terry Tuchin, Diana Lisa Riccioli, and New Jersey's Agency of Torture.")
Have the decency, Mr. Rabner, to ensure that the torture files are provided to me immediately. ("New Jersey's Politically Connected Lawyers on the Tit" and "Corrupt Law Firms, Senator Bob, and New Jersey Ethics.")
Mr. Rabner, have you no sense of your ethical responsibilities as a Chief Justice and attorney in New Jersey? 21 years, Stuart, and this slimy ass-covering move is still underway in Trenton. New Jersey's legal system and power-structure borders on the grotesque by comparison with any other American jurisdiction. Have you no sense of decency, sir?
