Stuart and Don,
Leonard has cast himself into a hell of his own making.
I am about to begin scanning evidence that will be attached to my Motion asking Judge Hess to refer Cohen for a perjury prosecution. That evidence includes,
as I've advised McBowman, allegations that your firm and McBowman engaged in "fraud in the inducement." Kory's memorandum was sent to Kevin Prins
and Ira Reiner, former DA of LA Confidential. The DOJ's Criminal Division advised me to direct my questions to the Court and State Bar which I intended and
intend to do. I am also filing complaints with the DA's Justice Integrity Unit, DOJ, and the Criminal Grand Jury of Lost Angeles.
See attached for further details. I will email you Kory's memorandum accusing you and McBowman of fraud in the inducement. Reiner evidently felt that
properly "framed" letters would cause insurance companies to show up. Boies Schiller advised me to go wired to my meetings with Cohen and Kory and told me
to have the investigator on Phil Spector's case to wire me for those meetings. They were all recorded/documented for Boies Schiller at the time. Cohen is now
claiming that this is HEARSAY.
See attached for my latest LA Superior Court filings. My family continues to be criminally harassed, stalked, and intimidated by Cohen's fan (who copies in his lawyer), some
Bay Area "lawyer" who blogged about Phil Spector, etc. Welcome to Malice in Wonderland where you will be served the karma you deserve.
My Tibetan teachers, including the 14th Sharmapa, have been slandered and defamed over this situation by individuals affiliated by religious sage/fraud Leonard Cohen. See
Steven Machat.
FYI. You cannot believe how corrupt the City Attorney of Los Angeles is. Their prosecutor shocked the conscience and her colleagues are bald faced liars who directed a
man criminally harassing me to continue with that conduct and communicate formal messages from their office to me. It's very Dark Shadows. No one in the industry would
hired these embarrassing frauds and liars. Sycophants. Not intelligent. Just lie. The judges condone it and they all hang around, socializing, and are deeply impressed
with "Hailey" of the LA Times.
All the best,
Mata Hari
Gods, Gangsters & Honour by Steven Machat
Excerpts:
Leonard was desperate to get rid of this two managers, Judy Berger and Mary Martin, who he believed had stolen the rights to his songs and records early on in his career. Even back then, Cohen was convinced that women were ripping him off. He signed an agreement, and when he wanted to get rid of the contract, he accused everyone of ripping him off. You could say it became repeat behaviour. My father duly got rid of Berger and Martin, set up a new company called Stranger Music for Cohen and agreed to manage Leonard for 15% as well as 15% of Stranger. The idea of the company was twofold: one, to maintain ownership of the copyrights duly created; and two, to minimise Leonard’s exposure to American tax, just like any other rich individual trying to minimise their tax liabilities.
I’ve no problem with people trying to avoid tax, but as the years have passed, I couldn’t help but smile at the apparent contradiction between Leonard’s public persona and his private business arrangements. This was a supposedly devout Buddhist with no interest in material possessions, who was all the same happy to put his trust in business managers and companies he created with his knowledge and consent whose sole aim was to minimise tax liability.
Leonard then sold Stranger Music for a small fortune and I’ve seen nothing from Cohen.
Cohen controlled his copyright, not my father. The irony was that Cohen had total control over my father … Do you know what happened to the $400,000 worth of bearer bonds in my father’s office? Bearer bonds are just unregistered bonds or paper money that are used to conceal ownership and, with it, tax liabilities. Cristini told me (who knows if this is true?) that he had found the bonds in my father’s office hours after he had died but the next day they disappeared.
Cohen denied any knowledge of these bonds. I was unsure if they existed or were part of my father’s schemes cooked up to conceal Leonard’s money.
Cohen said: “Steven, you remember the 1988 tour? Flemming extorted $100,000 from me. He wanted 20% managerial commission, in addition to his promoter’s fees. He thought he was doing extra work for me and wanted me to pay him.”
Far from being the poet of the spirits, Leonard was a hustler using Buddhism as a facade.
The next time I would see Leonard … We’d just seen The Hand That Rocks The Cradle where Rebecca De Mornay plays the psychopathic nanny who stalks this family. Who should walk along but Cohen, who was holding hands with DeMornay, his girlfriend at the time. Cohen was extremely uncomfortable because he knew he had stolen from me and it was clear he couldn’t get away quick enough. Neither could my son, because he took one look at DeMornay and ran. He was terrified because he thought she was the nanny in the film!
It was clear that Leonard was also wary of me because, I guess, he thought I might be planning to sue him.
Lynch had been sending out long and bizarre emails to his friends, journalists, and the authorities denouncing Leonard for a million and one sins, which would have worried me if I was their target.
The whole scheme was so ridiculous [Leonard Cohen’s attempts to limit his liabilities on the deals] from the start. All Leonard had to do to avoid U.S. taxes was tear up his green card, and stop living in and using the U.S. as his base.
It’s no secret that Leonard has also made a killing on the art market by selling his paintings, plus his touring of the last two years … If that’s true, it doesn’t really tally with the clear implication from Cohen that he is a man who has been robbed of everything.
Leonard told me before I left that he had actually offered Kelley a settlement …
It’s clear that Cohen and his lawyers want to heap the blame on Kelley’s shoulders for more than just revenge. Because Cohen’s pension assets were cashed in … ahead of schedule they are liable to tax so they need to establish that this situation is her fault. The penalties could actually be greater than the tax itself.
Leonard has cast himself into a hell of his own making.

I did not handle corporate, tax, accounting, financial, or investment matters. I obviously controlled nothing and most certainly did not have "unfettered control" although I understand that Kory, Rice, and Edelman are addressing what appears to be an IRS determination matter. I've recently looked into that as well since the complaint inexplicably refers to my alleged "control." Leonard Cohen controlled these entities. Leonard Cohen's and his representatives formed them, handled legal and tax issues, his accountants (business manager and lawyers) handed the tax returns and tax documents, etc. I find their argument relatlvely deranged and I have been clear with IRS, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, FTB and State of Kentucky about this fact. From my perspective, only LA Superior Court would buy into this fabricated narrative and issue a judgment that directly contradicts all corporate records, tax returns, and willfully disregards corporate formalities.Evidently the FTB does not disregard corporate formalities - unlike LA Superior Court and quite a number of lawyers and accountants involved in this matter. That might explain Cohen's legal tactics and why his lawyers refuse to communicate with me, lie about me, have entrapped me, etc. I've documented all of this for IRS, DOJ, FBI, and others, since 2005 - prior to Cohen filing this retaliatory and fraudulent lawsuit. Interesting that Cohen failed to name Neal Greenberg. I suppose LA Superior Court obtained jurisdiction over the entities by osmosis. They most certainly did not obtain legal jurisdiction. That seems irrelevant to these lofty individuals on various benches (many of whom lie while screaming at and slandering people). Very ugly scene. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it. The attorneys in the entertainment industry were also so brilliant, fun, and well mannered.Let's review a bit of factual and actual history. I was Leonard Cohen's personal manager. In or around 1996, Greenberg visited LA to meet His Holiness Kusum Lingpa. I knew Greenberg's ex-wife and had met him once or twice. I had no idea he was an investor. Leonard Cohen and Greenberg met, had meals together, discussed Greenberg's investment strategies, and Cohen hired Greenberg to handle his finances and investments. I had nothing to do with that decision. My ex-husband and I referred Cohen to Dean Witter who handled the Penick family's substantial investments.Greenberg brought you and Ed Dean on board. Cohen was represented by Peter Shukat (transaction attorney) and Burt Goldstein (accountant). Cohen personally met with and hired Peter Shukat. He had worked with Burt Goldstein prior to meeting me. He testified that I hired all of his advisers. That is a bald faced lie. For instance, Don Was referred Cohen to Rich Feldstein who met Cohen at the Wiltern. Cohen hired him and after Feldstein questioned Cohen's refusal to meet with him personally and address his estimated tax payments, Cohen fired Feldstein and wrote him a letter mentioning something about accounting not being a religion.Ed Dean structured the charitable remainder trusts and expressed concerns about assigning personal service contracts to the CRTs. I had nothing to do with that. Cohen expressed an interest in giving Mt. Baldy a gift of $500,000 and Stranger Music was restructured and stock was issued to Mt. Baldy. Cohen d/b/a Bad Monk owned some of the intellectual property in this sale. I have now discovered evidence that Steven Machat's allegations that Machat & Machat owned 15% of Stranger Music and the intellectual property were factual statements.Stranger Music, Inc. was sold to Sony. Blue Mist Touring, a company formed by Cohen and his representatives, registered to do business in California and changed it's name. Cohen and Herschel Weinberg, his family friend, handled that. It was previously LC Productions, a Delaware entity, although I have found evidence that Cohen had a Nevada entity known as LC Productions that predates my meeting Cohen.As early as 1994, Cohen expressed interest in IP sales. He had not met you and Greenberg. He had me meet with Eric Kronfeld who was CEO of Polygram and involved in huge IP deals. Eric was Marty Machat's partner. I worked for Marty Machat until 1988. He represented Cohen and Phil Spector. Allen Klein also worked with Marty and Eric. My roommate worked for ABKKO, Apple Records, Phil Spector, and Allen Klein in NY years ago. She is Phil Spector's former personal assistant and girlfriend.Cohen demanded stock deals. These were unattractive. After the Stranger Music deal, Cohen hired Peter Lopez. Greg McBowman referred Cohen to Peter Lopez. Greg had worked at Sony (Business Affairs), is a lawyer/accountant, and handled Cohen's audits, etc. I did not know Peter but became quite close with him. Peter pursued a deal with Charles Koppelman/CAK. David Pullman also expressed interest. In the fall of 1999, Cohen and CAK planned to close the deal on the bond securitization loan. CAK demanded a bankruptcy proof company. While Blue Mist owned all IP (per the non -revocable assignments), and Sony had begun due diigence with Blue Mist, SOCAN (for internal purposes) refused to pay a company not wholly owned by the writer - therefore, LCI agreed to collect the royalties but did not own them. The CAK deal did not close. No assets were assigned to LCI. Sony and Cohen pursued the deal and Sony began their due diligence with Blue Mist.You then advised me that Ken Cleveland raised concerns about collapsible corporations, an area I know nothing about. Cohen has now said that Sony did not want to pursue the deal with Blue Mist but that is not what I recall and I never once heard that. I heard about collapsible corporation issues. At that time, you and Greenberg proposed the annuity idea and ultimately Traditional Holdings was created. I gave you limited POA to form this entity. You represented Leonard Cohen. Reeve Chudd's firm formed LC Investments, LLC. It was NOT formed so that I could gain "unfettered control" of Cohen's assets. That is a defense to tax fraud.What happened to these entities? Cohen advised LA Superior Court (who does not require evidence) that I do not have an ownership interest in Blue Mist, the intellectual property, Traditional Holdings, and other entities. He also seemed to obtain LA Superior Court's approval to rip me off re. commissions due. Of course, I cannot imagine how this Court obtained jurisdiction but those issues do not concern this celebrity justice program.For the record, I have K-1s for the years 2001, 2002, and 2003 from Traditional Holdings. You prepared them. They were transmitted to IRS. I paid the taxes I owed. I have K-1s from LCI for the years 2003, 2004, and 2005. These were transmitted to IRS and State of Kentucky and show $0 income for those years but are contradicted by the fraudulent expense ledger. I am in possession of emails from you advising me that Old Ideas is a partnership and you understood I had a 15% interest in that entity where Cohen planned to assign the Dear Heather contracts and iP.IRS, State of Kentucky, and FTB do not appear to have tax returns re. TH after 2003; they have no evidence of my ownership interest in LCI after 2005; etc. What is going on here?Feel free to read through my blog - riverdeepbooks.blogspot.com. I continue to be criminally harassed by Cohen's fan and some Bay Area lawyer who had a blog devoted to Phil Spector and is now emailing me about federal tax and corporate matters. I have asked Cohen's lawyer to confirm that he represents Cohen and is authorized to communicate with me about these issues. He has publicly stated that he has spoken with Michelle Rice, Korn's co-counsel who made partner targeting me and - I have evidence to prove this - LIES about me for a living. So does Kory. He'll conjure up stories right on the stand. He'll even lie about the IRS.Cohen testified that you rectified something re. my ownership interest in some entity. His testimony was vague. I have recently obtained his testimony, in another hearing, where he confirms that I never stole from him (just his peace of mind). He told MacLean's he wasn't accusing me of theft while simultaneously filing his fabricated lawsuit and fraudulent financials.Cohen's loans from TH total $6.7 million or more. He was clear, and signed the Annuity Agreement, that his loans had to be repaid within 3 years at 6% interest. That interest now totals over $4 million.Kelley LynchKelley Lynch
