Subject: Traditional Holdings, LLC Corporate & Tax Matters
To: State of Kentucky Department of Revenue cc: IRS, FBI, DOJ, FTB & Multiple Recipients
Hello Kentucky Department of Revenue,
Kelley LYnch
I am trying to resolve certain corporate matters. In 2001, my former business partner's lawyer, Richard Westin, formed Traditional Holdings, LLC in Kentucky. At that time, my former business partner and I both resided in California. For reasons I do not understand, this entity was formed in Kentucky. Cohen's personal tax lawyer handled all corporate tax filings and forms. In October 2004, Leonard Cohen (my former business partner) and I had a falling out. For approximately 17 years, I worked as his personal manager. He was and remains a rather well known Canadian recording artist who has resided in the United States since 1970. The reason we parted ways has to do with the fact that Cohen heard I intended to report his tax fraud to Internal Revenue Service. After my lawyers contacted him and his tax lawyer in October 2004 (addressing these entities, my ownership interest, and asking them to explain any liability I might have), they attended a meeting with my lawyers and came up with a novel defense: willfully disregard all corporate books, records, stock units, signed and notarized agreements, federal and state tax returns, K-1s, etc. and falsely accuse me of receiving overpayments for my commissions as Cohen's personal manager.
It is important to note that I have an ownership interest in more than one Cohen related entity and two of those entities (both formed in Delaware) own all intellectual property. I have the corporate assignments for one entity signed by both Cohen and myself as well as the minutes. I am attempting to obtain other corporate records and have now made attempts to inspect the books and records as well as the federal and state tax returns for Traditional Holdings, LLC and the other entities. There are at least four.
In any event, after spending months attempting to coerce me into various deals (including an offer of 50% community property, confirmation of my ownership interest in IP, and confirmation that I would be paid my full 15% commission on gross royalties for all periods and matters I was not paid for), with the full awareness that I reported his tax fraud to IRS, Leonard Cohen retaliated against me with an entirely fabricated and fraudulent lawsuit. The documents are replete with fraudulent misrepresentations and perjured statements. I am about to file a motion addressing the fraud and perjury. In January 2014, LA Superior Court refused to vacate its judgment although I was not served this lawsuit. These corporate entities were not named as parties to the lawsuit. Traditional Holdings, LLC does not even have minimal ties to California so I have a very serious time understanding where the Court obtained jurisdiction. These issues do not concern LA Superior Court.
The default was entered against me in May 2006. I was not able to read the Complaint until a man who has been criminally harassing me and my family, etc. since May 2009 posted it online with a handful of other documents. This man is a California lawyer. I have no idea who he is and the criminal harassment over federal and state tax matters continues. He has previously advised me that he heard from Cohen's lawyers in May 2009 and that is apparently what triggered the stalking, harassment, witness intimidation, etc. He continues to target my family and friends. I have no idea what the judgment relates to. It states that I am not the rightful owner of Leonard Cohen's assets. However, corporate and LLC assets do not belong to Leonard Cohen. He and his representatives refuse to address any of this and have previously entrapped me using their tactic: refusal to respond and then screaming harassment. Leonard Cohen testified that, instead of providing me with required corporate and personal tax information, he took the requests to LAPD's celebrity unit. I was prosecuted over them. I have gone to the State Bar over this situation and will file additional complaints.
My question is this: on the 2001, 2002, and 2003 federal returns I was listed as a member/manager. I was listed as Tax Matters partner. My lawyers brought that, and other information, to my attention. It does not appear that returns were filed with the state for any of those years and it does not appear that IRS or FTB are in receipt of any returns for 2004 and 2005. Those would be the periods BEFORE the default was entered in May 2006. The default does not address how the Court felt these entities should be unwound, whether or not they were judicially dissolved, and how the Court wanted the federal tax matters handled - including the years where I received K-1s and was included on the returns. The City Attorney of Los Angeles, who resembles a criminal enterprise from my position, has taken the position that these tax matters are a ruse.
My problem is the FTB placed a lien on my salary because I did not file my 2004 and 2005 returns DUE TO THE FACT that Cohen refuses to provide me with IRS required tax and corporate forms for those periods. The default was entered in 2006 and would not effect those periods, from what I can tell. The FTB agreed to remove the lien. I owe no taxes and they guesstimated using income/expenses from 2003.
Does the State of Kentucky believe I am no longer a member who has been absolved of all tax liabilities and obligations to Traditional Holdings based on the judgement (link enclosed) of LA Superior Court. These issues were NOT litigated on the merits and LA Superior Court willfully ignored all corporate books, records, stock units, etc.
Would you mind reviewing the judgment and explaining if you understand how it removed me as a member from this entity. Your website doesn't indicate that this matter was rectified with the State of Kentucky and the formation documents were not amended. I would also like to know if the State of Kentucky requires final tax returns for an LLC that has been judicially dissolved. I intend to ask LA Superior Court to clarify some of the issues their judgment has raised.
For the record, Richard Westin only represented me with respect to the formation of the entity itself. He's Leonard Cohen's personal and corporate tax lawyer and I have nothing to do with him. According to Cohen, Westin rectified something with respect to my ownership interest in this entity. I have no details as to that matter. I would appreciate any information you could offer.
Thank you.
