More corruption in the courts?

[Demosthenes]

It was a verbal order from pre-trial services. The person's name is Jacob M. Scott, who stated it is what the judge requires.

So a magistrate judge verbally told a guy named Jacob M. Scott to verbally order Mike Ioane to deactivate a link?

Who is Jacob M. Scott?

[LPC]

It was a verbal order from pre-trial services.

"Pretrial services" usually means criminal action.

The only criminal action for Michael S. Ioane is in the Eastern District of California, 1:09-cr-00142-LJO-3.

A check on the docket shows orders by Magistrate Judge Sandra M. Snyder, the same MJ that "bostonteaparty" is complaining about.

Demo has already linked above to a copy of the complaint, which can be found at http://www.cheatingfrenzy.com/ioane1.pdf

The complaint alleges that Ioane, doing business as "Acacia Business Solutions," "First Amendment Publishers," and other entities, engaged in a conspiracy to evade income taxes using, among other things, fake corporations and trusts.

The link in question seems to be from a promotion of a book published by "First Amendment Publishers" to a website for services provided by "Acacia Business Solutions," which services include the creation of corporations.

In other words, the link seems be from one Ioane web site to another Iaone web site, and could be part of a plan to direct people interested in evading taxes to services to help them evade taxes.

The orders setting the conditions for Ioane's release have a number of Internet-related conditions, including that he not have any access to the Internet, terminate his Internet access, make his computer available to the Pretrial Services Officer for inspection from time to time, not provide tax advice, not be involved with trusts, and not promote, manage, or consult on any corporation, trust, or limited liability company.

Telling Ioane to sever the link between the tax book and the "business services" web site might have seemed to the MJ and PSO as steps necessary or appropriate to enforcing the conditions of release, and they might have told him to do it or risk being returned to custody. (Although I don't know how he would change the web page without access to the Internet.)

[Demosthenes]

Ahhh. Now I get it.

Here's the order setting out the conditions:

http://www.cheatingfrenzy.com/ioane30.pdf

[cynicalflyer]

Now, the Magistrate Judge initially ordered him here to no internet whatsoever.

04/10/2009 7 ORDER SETTING CONDITIONS of RELEASE signed by Magistrate Judge Sandra M. Snyder on 4/10/2009. (Flores, E) (Entered: 04/13/2009)

But changed to restricted...

And if you're Michael S. Ioane, you'll comply with the "order" or run the risk of having your bail revoked for violating the conditions of your release.

But if you're not Michael Ioane, then who are you, and why do you care?

A check of "bostonteapartybook.com" shows that the domain is registered to:

Law Offices of (ABS)
214 West Robinson Street, Ste 888
Carson City, Nevada 89703
United States

But I can't find any evidence that any lawyer has an office in that building.

The name listed for the administrative and technical contact is "Rothchild, Michael mike@acaciabusinesssolutions.com". That email would, of course, be the other domain used by Ioane, and might even be an email address that Michael Ioane might use.

The telephone number for the administrative and technical contact is "7758411876". A Google search of that number says that it is owned by....

(Wait for it.)

Mike Ioane, 214 West Robinson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89703

So the book editor, the domain, and the website designer are all Mike Ioane. The only other person who could care about the book and the website is the "author" of the book.

Mr. Galaski, I presume?

[cynicalflyer]

What?? Are you kidding? Are we as web site owners responsible for claims of service made on sites we link to now?

You are responsible "as web site owners" when YOU OWN THE WEBSITE, Michael.

It just dawned on me that "ABS" would be Acacia Business Solutions.

So Iaone was passing himself off as a lawyer?

Ahhh. Now I get it.

You mean I got one jump ahead of you?

What's the sound of one hand high-fiving itself?

Dang.

[grixit]

Normally such a misrepresentation would probably be overlooked, but as part of a case involving fraudulent legal advice i'd say it goes to intent.

Yep. Intent. Willfulness. Mens Rea.

What's the sound of one hand high-fiving itself?

I wouldn't know. It's usually drowned out by the sounds of someone falling down the basement stairs after the cat "accidentally" gets tangled in his feet.

Pomelo. Some varietals can grow as large as basketballs. They're popular in China, which is the probable origin of my avatar pic.

Woah, Agnes, now that's a nice lookin' set!



Uh, I mean a nice lookin' set of pomelos.

You know.....

........or, would the plural be "pomeloes"??

EDIT: I apologize in advance if my reaction unfortunately engenders a responsive series of tasteless, adolescently sophomoric, testosterone-laden pomelo jokes.

Boy, that really is a nice lookin' set, though....

[jcolvin2]

Pomelos (native to southeast asian native) were crossed with sweet oranges to create grapefruits, probably in Barbados. Pomelos are generally milder and thicker skinned than grapefruit. Interestingly, the US may be largest commercial producer of pomelos.

Now I'm wondering what sort of adult beverage I could fill it with if I sliced one in half and hollowed them out.

Yes, I know... I have a one-track mind.

[grixit]

Sangria, served from the pomelos in the bra of a store dummy dressed as Carmen Miranda.
