Leonard Cohen and his lawyer, Robert Kory, targeted both of my sons. They were meeting with my younger son’s father. His name is Steve Lindsey and Ray is my younger son. Kory was begging me to meet with him and I documented all of this, at the time, for Boies Schiller who advised me to go wired to my meetings with Cohen/Kory. In fact, because I advised them about Investigator Brian Bennett’s unannounced visit - and provided them with a transcript of my conversation with Janice Zavala Spector (Phil’s ex-wife and the mother of his children), they advised me to have Investigator Brian Bennett wire me for these meetings. I did advise Bennett in 2005 that Leonard Cohen lies about Phil Spector; should be arrested; was attempting to blackmail me; and discussed the situation with respect to Robert Kory and my son. Bennett, at the time, told me that his wife would “kill” Kory if he did to her what he did to me. In any event, Ray and I stopped into see Kory. He appeared freaked out and unhinged. Ray had heard a tremendous amount of information re. Cohen’s tax fraud and confirmed what he heard about Leonard Cohens tax fraud; the missing state tax returns; my intellectual property that was stolen and commissions that were withheld; and their threats of jail. When we left, Ray told me I forgot to mention Michael Maunts of the State of Kentucky (who I spoke to about Cohen’s tax fraud as Traditional Holdings, LLC is a Kentucky entity) and told me that I should have advised Kory to “go fuck himself.” This was all documented for Boies Schiller as it unfolded - as was my luncheon meeting. In fact, Norman Posel/Boies Schiller wanted to fly in to attend my luncheon with Robert Kory. Cohen and Kory were meeting with Lindsey and encouraging him to have me enter into some form of a deal with Cohen. In fact, Lindsey even had his father - Mort Lindsey - speak to Cohen and Kory. Cohen thought I had great respect and a close relationship with my father-in-law which I did. Mort Lindsey then called and asked me to make a deal with Cohen. I refused. I thought I was being asked to engage in criminal conduct and that’s precisely what Boies Schiller advised me. They wrote me that recording Kory would not be a set up because Cohen/Kory were asking me to participate in criminal conduct which seemed to include conspiracy, extortion attempts, insurance fraud, etc. The judge in the Intent to Annoy insanity didn’t seem to want reality addressed. The conspiracy was and remains real and was well documented for Boies Schiller. In fact, Greenberg’s lawyer confirmed (and I spoke to the FBI in Denver about this) that they have evidence regarding witness tampering that involves Leonard Cohen, Robert Kory, Steven Clark Lindsey, and Betsy Superfon (a friend of Lindsey’s). The FBI and I discussed the fact that I should be careful in my attempts to obtain evidence from Greenberg’s lawyer which I agreed with. Dan Scheid, Greenberg’s lawyer, confirmed that he had this evidence - in writing - and that email was given to the IRS and others.
Betsy Superfon is a friend of Steven Clark Lindsey’s who befriended me sometime in 2004. She was evidently negotiating with Cohen/Kory on my behalf - without my knowledge, awareness, or approval. At some point, a friend of mine - Yongzin Rinpoche - and his wife visited and Rinpoche instructed me to invite Superfon over. At that point, I asked her to contact Cohen/Kory about the deal they were interested in making with me. She told me she spoke with Cohen who advised her that I was the love of his life; he felt remorseful and terrified; and would give me anything I wanted - including my share of BMT and TH. I asked her to have Kory put the deal in writing and fax it to me. She then spoke to him and advised me that Kory told her this was not the type of deal you could put in writing so I concluded that it was illegal and she later told me she felt the same way. Kory then suggested that he, Superfon, and I meet for lunch. I decided not to because I felt I had enough evidence that they were attempting to engage me in criminal conduct and an illegal deal. Cohen/Kory ultimately filed a declaration in Ray’s custody matter which I view as an attempt to obstruct justice, coercion, blackmail, etc. Lindsey advised me that Cohen/Kory were encouraging him to take Ray away from me and it was clearly planned and coordinated with the SWAT incident.
On May 25, 2011, I kept Ray home from school. This led to a psychotic SWAT incident where I was falsely accused of having a hostage. I had kept Ray home from school because he did not feel well and his father’s conduct was becoming increasingly aggressive and disturbing. His father was angry that he stayed home and wanted to pick him up and drive him to school. I did not want this man on my property. He had viciously attacked me in front of His Eminence Choegon Rinpoche only a couple of weeks previously. His Eminence Choegon Rinpoche confirmed this in writing and that email was forwarded to the IRS Commissioner’s Staff. Rinpoche was startled by the level of Lindsey’s aggression. I phoned Rutger, who was driving nearby with his friend, and asked him to immediately come home, pick up Ray, and drop him at the bottom of the hill with Lindsey. I was sick of this man coming onto my property, and calling me names like cunt and whore in front of my children. He was utterly abusive to both of my sons and was becoming increasingly unhinged over his relationship with Dinah Englund and the birth of their daughter. Englund is actress Cloris Leachman’s daughter. Rutger picked Ray up and took him to the bottom of the hill where, surprisingly, Leachman was waiting to pick up Ray. Rutger then saw Lindsey and approximately 7 squad cars racing up my hill. What then unfolded was and remains criminal. I was accused of having a hostage although Rutger was clear with LAPD - I was in the house alone. I was in a bikini. I was ultimately accused of holding my dog hostage and LAPD told Rutger that they were taking precautions because my dog might be my hostage. Rutger was told Inglewood PD was present. He was told that these maniacs would shoot his mother and dog. He witnessed Lindsey lying to LAPD. There was no hostage. What I witnessed was LAPD endangering my son’s life; using him illegally as a hostage negotiator; and placing his life in danger by rushing my house and using him as a human shield. Of course, there was no hostage and my dog lived with me. I dove into the pool to avoid any type of physical encounter with these lunatics. After all, Phil Spector had explained his encounter with Alhambra PD to me and my former boyfriend was a member of SWAT and had spent hours explaining his tactics (and boredom) to me. He got sick and tired of waiting around to shoot and kill someone. Rutger brought me a brocade jacket and LAPD - who advised me they were there to help me - handcuffed me in my bikini and brocade jacket. I was then taken to Killer King and questioned about Phil Spector. The entire Killer King file is falsified and has been provided to the IRS, other agencies, and the DA’s office. It can never be explained away. After I was taken from my property (which I viewed as a kidnapping), Rutger received a phone call from Steven Clark Lindsey asking him to go into Kory/Cohen’s office and sign over/transfer my house to them. This story has been well documented. In fact, I ultimately made an appointment with the LA FBI to discuss this situation and to file a complaint. I felt it related to Leonard Cohen’s criminal tax fraud. This is what ultimately led me to not only report Cohen’s tax fraud to the IRS but to call the IRS in Washington due to the high profile nature of this situation and the tactics being used against me. I was then advised, by His Holiness Kusum Lingpa, and others, to begin documenting everything in emails for the IRS and others with witnesses involved. These emails became the subject of the intent to annoy Stalinesque Show Trial that is nothing other than an attempt to sabotage the IRS, discredit me, and relates to Phil Spector and possibly a form of illegal discovery and an attempt to have Leonard Cohen - who the news media quotes - advance his garbage Phil Spector gun stories. After all, as my public defender advised me (when noting that the DA’s investigator was lunching with Cohen) - the DA doesn’t want the Phil Spector verdict overturned.
I have never accused Cohen of ripping Rutger’s fingers off. Rutger is convinced that had I made a deal with Cohen (he too was hearing endless details about the insanity that was unfolding), he would have been in college full time. He is aware that Cohen offered me 50% community property, presumably to lie and say he was defrauded by his advisers. Rutger is correct. In his freshman year of college he would not have been working. I think it’s an important moment of transition. Why Cohen was testifying about this incident is inconceivably obscene and vile. Prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter is a vulgar woman who appears willing to do anything for a celebrity and I think LA Superior Court really deserves her. I can’t think of a better match. In fact, I think she and Judge Vanderet should get married. She can baby talk him, break their furniture, and he can tolerate her lies and misconduct. That’s my idealized view of the grave injustice system in LA Confidential.
RUTGER AND RAY
Streeter: Does she have another child?
Cohen: Yes, she has another child.
Streeter: What’s that child’s name?
Cohen: Rutger Bennett. [Penick]
Streeter: Does she ever mention Rutger --
Cohen: Yes, many times she suggested I was responsible for an accident that befell him. RT 58
Streeter: Did she ever mention any of her children in any of the voicemail messages?
Cohen: Yes, many times. She -- she accused me of being indirectly responsible for her losing custody of one child. RT 57/58
Kelley Lynch Direct:
Public Defender: … And what was the custody issue?
Lynch: That I was taken to King-Drew by LAPD, I lived in Brentwood, and when I was released 24 hours later a custody matter had been filed.
PD: One day after that incident with the police, did Mr. Kory have a declaration in that case?
Lynch: The same day, May 25, 2005. RT 462
Public Defender: Now,, you said something about Rutger losing his fingers. Now, is there any reference to this in the emails that you’ve heard?
Lynch: I believe there is, yes. I think Leonard Cohen testified to something about it.
PD: And did you ever say that Mr. Cohen cut off Mr. -- or your son’s fingers?
Lynch: No, I did not.
PD: What did you mean when you talked about blaming Mr. Cohen?
|Lynch: I don’t blame Mr. Cohen. My son, Rutger, personally believes that if I had not gone to the IRS, reported this tax fraud, created a contentious situation with Leonard Cohen, that he wouldn’t have lost his fingers.
PD: You’ve never accused Mr. Cohen for being responsible for cutting off --
Lynch: Well, he doesn’t have a meat grinder at Whole Foods, so it would be impossible. RT 472
I have been clear about this situation. The only parties I want speaking to my traumatized son about the SWAT incident are the IRS, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, FTB, and Phil Spector’s legal team. I have given Phil Spector Rutger’s cell phone that contains photographs of the SWAT incident, including LAPD license plates.
Sidebar:
Public Defender: The other potential witness I’ve been trying to speak with is her son Rutger. He’s tried to get out of work today but says he’s off tomorrow.
Court: And what testimony can he offer?
PD: He’[s listed pretty much on every email as well.
Court: -- So is Cooley.
PD: I guess the big portion of his testimony is he was present during that 2005 incident with the SWAT team.
Court: I think that is very, very tangential. RT 529
Defense Closing:
[Robert Kory} He called the father weeks later and he filed a strategic and malicious declaration in the custody matter which resulted in my client losing her son. This was part of the plan, ladies and gentlemen. RT 589
