IRS, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, FTB, and Senate Judiciary,
I have revised my comments re. Gianelli's slanderous attack on me. I am now finalizing my document for Tax Court and will submit many of the harassing emails I have received from Gianelli since mid-October 2015 when I filed my initial declaration with Tax Court regarding the ongoing criminal harassment. Stephen Gianelli clearly represents Leonard Cohen's legal interests and is attempting to elicit information about IRS matters and the Phil Spector case. I want Tax Court to understand the totality of circumstances. These issues are absolutely inter-related and that's why my alleged trial related specifically to IRS, Cohen's tax fraud, and Phil Spector. It also involves egregious perjury, prosecutorial misconduct, a fraudulent domestic violence order and VAWA funding fraud.

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.
Kelley and I spent the day fundraising in pleasant hill, which proved to be an extremely demoralizing experience for both of us. After having homophobic epithets and vociferous, myopic rhetoric hurled at us, we left "turf" in a state of apprehension and despondency. Also a pressing issue in the matter was that our wages were contingent on funds raised that were averaged against the office average. A poor day such as the one we had could have drastic fiscal impacts in the personal lives of GCI employees.
Upon returning to Berkeley early as a result of low traffic conditions, we noted that we had failed to take our break amidst our frenzied attempts to perform well in a highly hostile environment. We decided that since we had the time to spare, we would sit down for some food. Kelley proceeded to drink ONE beer, which we had never been instructed was against policy and figured was acceptable because we were no longer in uniform, had finished canvassing for the day, and were entitled legally to a 10 minute break. Shortly thereafter, we entered the office to debrief and do our cash-out. After discerning that an alcoholic beverage had been consumed, Tyler instructed Kelley and I that we were to be placed on temporary suspension through tuesday, whereupon we would be allowed to come back to work. After Tyler conferred with his superior, Dan Doubet, we were then told to come in on tuesday afternoon, where we were taken aback at the revelation that we were being laid off; the news came as a complete shock to the both of us.
I would also like to testify to the horrid working conditions we were placed under and my certain inference that Kelley and I were seen as liabilities to the company- Simply put, we were seen as obstacles in the path of the company's unbridled corporate malfeasance. Myself and several other employees faced relentless sexual and verbal harassment from one Tomas Moreno, our superior, and only after months and months of pleas that fell largely on Doubet's deaf ears did they take any steps whatsoever to resolve the situation. Kelley took the initiative and showed great concern in encouraging me to speak out about the abhorrent behavior we were subjected to in the office. Her encouragement and counsel were instrumental in combating the grievous abuse that was taking place, and Dan Doubet was well aware of the ramifications of the entire situation. I was frequently bombarded with homophobic sentiment from this director, was harshly criticized, emotionally belittled and constantly forced to weather a slew of vitriolic language. After noting to the management that these were severely unacceptable working conditions and that performance was being affected drastically, Dan Doubet reluctantly agreed to address the issue and terminate the offender's employment with the company. That is where my status as a liability for the company comes in- notwithstanding the fact that my car was put out of commission by the relentless travel to destinations up to 80 miles away, for which i never received adequate compensation
Kelley was seen as a liability as well, as a direct result of an incident involving her health on turf in Montclair. After enduring harsh weather conditions and the psychological stress created by GCI, Kelley collapsed as a direct result of dehydration and sun stroke. Having been forced to stand in intense sunlight with no shade for the majority of the day, she was taken to a nearby emergency room- thus creating a potential problem for the company from a legal perspective. GCI has a long history of employee abuse and routinely takes advantage of philanthropic, altrustic individuals. We were paid based on an incredulous and unfair commissions scale against the office average, and even top performers were living hand to mouth throughout the duration of my employment there.
I firmly believe that it was a fortuitous time for the management to rid themselves of two people whom they saw as potential liabilities to the company. Kelley is an upstanding woman who is most certainly entitled to unemployment benefits given the extenuating circumstances of the situation.
KELLEY
LYNCH – THE FORMER MANAGER WHO EMBEZZLED LEONARD COHEN’S RETIREMENT SAVINGS –
WHERE IS SHE NOW A DECADE LATER?
[written by Leonard Cohen's operative, Stephen Gianelli]
WHAT RETIREMENT ACCOUNT?
GIVEN HER
SPECTACULAR FALL FROM GRACE a decade ago, a casual Leonard Cohen fan with a
passing familiarity of the story behind the singer songwriter’s return to the
road in 2006 to replace $6.7M in retirement savings embezzled by former Leonard
Cohen manager Kelley Lynch, might be surprised to learn that she is not only
living in the Los Angeles area, but that Lynch is still devoting a large part
of her daily energies to harassing her former employer. If truth is stranger
than fiction, the epilogue to this epic story of greed, theft, and public
disgrace is stranger still.
Kelley Lynch didn’t have a fall from
grace. Leonard Cohen committed what
appears to be egregious criminal tax fraud; he and his representatives failed
to report $8 million in income; Cohen is the individual who embezzled
approximately $6.7 million in corporate assets; and the default judgment Cohen
obtained, in a lawsuit Lynch was not served, is evidence of criminal conduct
that includes theft, embezzlement, extortion, self-dealing, and money
laundering. A default judgment does not
legally permit criminal conduct. What is
strange here is that Leonard Cohen seems to believe slander is a defense to his
own wrong-doing. Cohen, his lawyers, and
his operatives have gone to inconceivable lengths in their attempts to destroy
and silence Lynch. Leonard Cohen, who
prefers to be unopposed in Court (so that his lies, fraud, and slander
prevail), is not being “harassed” by Kelley Lynch pursuing legal remedies. That would include the four appeals before
the Los Angeles Appellate Division and Lynch’s forthcoming federal RICO suit. Leonard Cohen was also not “harassed” by the
alleged emails Lynch sent which LAPD concluded were generally requests for tax
information. Leonard Cohen steadfastly
refuses to provide Lynch with the IRS required tax and corporation information. The City Attorney of Los Angeles simply
decided to lie about Lynch; argue that Cohen’s own conduct annoys him; and
falsely advise jurors that federal tax controversies were a ruse and Lynch is
in receipt of IRS required tax and corporate information that Cohen has failed
to provide her. Leonard Cohen has
obtained verdicts, judgments, and orders based on egregious fraud, perjury, and
litigation misconduct. He has used
slander, defamation, and libel to advance his nefarious goals which include
defending himself against allegations that he committed egregious criminal tax
fraud. Cohen has also used this
opportunity to benefit himself by stealing intellectual property from Lynch;
wrongfully converting her share of corporate entities to himself; withholding
commissions due for services rendered; and obtaining fraudulent tax refunds
based on a fabricated narrative. This
article is part of Cohen’s narrative.
AFTER THE
FORMER MANAGER TO THE MUSIC LEGEND WAS OUTED and achieved a well-earned,
world-wide infamy as the architect of a massive scheme to loot millions of
dollars; after a 4-hour standoff in 2005 with a Los Angeles SWAT team and the
first of many psychiatric hospitalizations; after living homeless on-the-beach
in Santa Monica; after suffering a $7M embezzlement-based civil judgment in
2006, multiple civil harassment restraining orders and a 2007 conviction for
criminal trespass; after threatening to kill the Los Angeles County District
Attorney, after being jailed for 18-months in 2012 for criminal harassing
emails and voice mails; and after being returned to jail for 6-months in 2014
for emailing death threats to her trial prosecutor, Lynch is still devoting a
remarkable amount of energy toward relentlessly harassing Leonard Cohen, his
legal advisors, and anyone else who has gotten in her way during the last
decade – the author of this post included.
Leonard Cohen has essentially used a
fraudulent default judgment and fraudulent restraining orders to discredit
Lynch. His lawsuit followed
approximately 7 months where Cohen attempted to coerce Lynch into a
“settlement” with respect to the monies due her. Those deals included offers of 50% community
property and Cohen’s willingness to pay Lynch the commissions due her, value of
her intellectual property, and value of her interest in numerous
corporations. There was a caveat
however. Cohen wanted Lynch testify that
he was defrauded by his representatives.
That is not what Lynch witnessed.
She refused to entertain any type of settlement.
Leonard Cohen’s personal manager,
Kelley Lynch, was not the “architect” of a massive scheme to loot
anything. That would include the
corporate assets that Cohen personally has raided and wasted. However, this appears to be Cohen’s response
to Lynch’s lawyer’s October 2004 letter asking him and the “architect” of these
entities to explain Lynch’s role in them and any liability the entity’s may
have. Cohen has decided to falsely
accuse Lynch of receiving “overpayments” for her fees as personal manager
although her ownership interest in the entities and intellectual property have
nothing to do with one another. Cohen
has now testified that he and Lynch were in a “purely business relationship”
and Lynch never stole from him – just his “peace of mind.” Cohen’s own testimony completely undermines
his fraudulent complaint, default judgment, and the fraudulent “domestic
violence” order. There was and remains
no “dating” or “engagement” relationship between Cohen and Lynch as the statute
itself requires. This is of no interest
whatsoever to LA Superior Court who simply assigned Lynch a “dating
relationship” with Cohen who sexually harassed her, exposed his penis to her,
forced her to read legal and business documents while he soaked in bubble
baths, and looked at people defecating on one another online in front of
her. Lynch does not believe any
reasonable person would ever believe this conduct could be construed as a
“dating” relationship.”
Leonard Cohen seems to believe that
corporate assets are his personal property.
This is an argument condoning self-dealing and alter ego
principles.
"In California, two conditions must be met before the alter ego doctrine will be
invoked. First, there must be such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and
its equitable owner that the separate personalities of
the corporation and the shareholder do not in reality exist. Second, there must be an inequitable result
if the acts in question are treated as those of the corporation alone." (Sonora Diamond Corp. v. Superior Court (2000)
83 Cal.App.4th 523, 538; accord Troyk v.
Farmers Group, Inc. (2009) 171 Cal.App.4th 1305, 1341 (Troyk); Tomaselli v.
Transamerica Ins. Co. (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 1269, 1285.)
Factors
relevant to this analysis include:
"the disregard of legal formalities and the failure to maintain
arm's length relationships among related entities," "the failure to
maintain minutes or adequate corporate records," "the confusion of
the records of the separate entities," the
"failure to segregate funds of the separate
entities," "commingling of funds and other assets," "the
total absence of corporate assets, and undercapitalization," the failure
"to issue stock," "sole ownership of all of the stock in a
corporation by one individual or the members of a family," overlapping
officers and directors, "the use of the same office or business
location," "the employment of the same employees and/or
attorney," "the unauthorized diversion of corporate funds or assets
to other than corporate uses," "the use of a corporation as a mere
shell, instrumentality or conduit," and "the diversion of assets from
a corporation by or to a stockholder."
(Associated Vendors, Inc. v. Oakland Meat Co. (1962) 210
Cal.App.2d 825, 838-840.)
These factors exist with respect to
the Cohen related corporate assets. Furthermore,
Lynch clearly relied on false representations with respect to an alleged
“investment” in Traditional Holdings, LLC; Cohen and his representatives failed
to disclose material facts; and, Cohen misappropriated corporate money, Lynch’s
intellectual property, and her ownership interest in corporate entities. The default judgment, and fraudulent
financial judgment it was based on, are evidence of co-mingling, self-dealing,
and money laundering. With respect to
Traditional Holdings, LLC alone, Cohen and Lynch executed an operating
agreement that set forth the parties’ various rights and obligations regarding
the operation of the corporation. This,
and all other corporate books and records, have been willfully and
intentionally disregarded and replaced with a fabricated narrative. Cohen is now desperately attempting to
conceal evidence which does not support the default judgment. The accounting methodology used with respect
to the fraudulent default judgment reflects nothing other than theft, fraud, and
self-dealing. Leonard Cohen as the
beneficiary, and potential beneficiary, of all of these transactions, was kept
fully informed of all negotiations and information, and the corporate, tax, and
accounting aspects were handled by Leonard Cohen’s personal corporate and tax
lawyer, transaction lawyers, and accountant.
Lynch participated in the negotiations and provided information, as
requested, to Cohen’s representatives.
Leonard Cohen has simply attempted to blame others for his
wrong-doing. He has used these entities
as sham entities for the sole purpose of evading taxes. It is Leonard Cohen who demanded unattractive
and unnecessarily complex stock transactions.
This resulted in very few interested buyers and deeply discounted
prices. Lynch was confused by the use of
Traditional Holdings, LLC. She therefore
asked for and received an Indemnity Agreement.
Cohen personally instructed his tax and corporate lawyer to prepare that
document. Leonard Cohen testified that
the corporate records and accountings were handled by his lawyer or those
working under him. Lynch did not work
for or under Cohen’s lawyer or any representative. These individuals worked directly for Cohen
and he personally signed many retainer agreements with them.
Kelley Lynch 2012 Trial Transcript:
PD: Okay. Who handled your corporate books at the time,
as of 2004? Cohen: Who was handling it? PD:
Who handled your corporate accounting, your corporate books? Cohen:
A number of people handled it under the direction of my – my
lawyer.
Cohen also has a pattern of stealing
from his representatives, falsely accusing them of ripping him off in order to
breach contracts, and falsifying narratives.
As of this time, Cohen appears to have stolen from Lynch, Machat &
Machat, and Phil Spector. Leonard Cohen
is a fabulist who tantalizes journalists and fans with his stories about
participating in CIA’s MKULTRA program, his role as reconnaissance during Bay
of Pigs (where Cohen was allegedly arrested by Castro’s forces and interrogated
when they viewed him as part of CIA’s first landing party in Cuba); Yom Kippur
War (which Cohen planned to help fight, alongside the Israeli military,
although he has no military experience whatsoever); Phil Spector (Cohen now has
three versions of his infamous bullshit Spector gun story before LA Superior
Court); Janis Joplin; etc.
Leonard Cohen has abused the
restraining order process by using slanderous narratives and perjured
statements. Lynch has no interest
whatsoever in Leonard Cohen personally. Cohen
failed to serve her his lawsuit and his conduct betrays his carefully crafted
image of a compassionate sage.
There was no 4-hour stand-off at
Lynch’s home. There was a fraudulent
accusation that Lynch had a hostage although Lynch’s son, Rutger, informed LAPD
that she was in the house alone. LAPD
willfully disregarded Rutger’s statements although he had just been with his
mother. LAPD ultimately informed Lynch’s
son that her dog was her hostage and they were taking precautions. Part of those “precautions” evidently
involved taking Lynch approximately three hours from her home in traffic to the
most dangerous mental hospital in the United States, Killer King. Lynch lived approximately 8 minutes from
UCLA. The entire Killer King file is
fraudulent, falsified, and does not relate to Kelley Lynch. It was used to coordinate a custody matter
that was also based on fraud, perjury, and litigation misconduct. This type of conduct works well before LA
Superior Court. Lynch has asked IRS,
FBI, and DOJ to investigate the situation particularly given the fact that the
City Attorney of Los Angeles represents LAPD and lied extensively about Lynch
during her so-called 2012 trial.
Evidently lying, engaging in fraud and litigation misconduct and
perjuring oneself before LA Superior Court is now a “privilege” in
California. Lynch was not “hospitalized”
at Killer King. The doctor advised her
to wait her turn and released her. He
also informed Lynch and her son that the situation would not affect a custody
matter although that is precisely what is was used to do – create a fraudulent
custody matter. Lynch lost custody of
her son based on further lies, fraud, and perjury before LA Superior Court and
yet another one of their infamous “default judgments.” Further details about this matter can be
found in the following articles, declarations, and interviews.
Kelley Lynch, Paulette Brandt, and Ann Diamond
Interviews:
Lynch has formally notified the City
and County of Los Angeles that she intends to pursue a federal RICO suit due to
their outrageous conduct towards her. Lynch
never threatened the District Attorney of Los Angeles and intends to litigate
this issue. She never emailed a death threat
to her trial prosecutor and intends to litigate this issue as well. The City Attorney and District Attorney are
obviously used to falsely accusing people using fake and trumped up
charges. That is precisely why Lynch
sent the FBI and DOJ an example of the type of image that the political powers
in Los Angeles could use to set someone up.
Lynch’s email to the FBI and DOJ evidently “terrified” her prosecutor,
whose every word during her trial was and remains a lie, causing this
individual to retaliate against Lynch over a Valentine Card that wasn’t sent to
her. Prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter, who
views CIA’s disposition matrix as a threat, appears to believe she is a
terrorist and enemy of the United States government. Lynch asked Detective Viramontes, LAPD’s
Threat Management Unit, if he personally believes Streeter has serious
psychiatric problems. She also asked
Viramontes to question Streeter about whether or not the real threat here is
IRS and FBI since Lynch believes her entire trial demands an
investigation.
Former DA Steve Cooley also
conveniently viewed Lynch’s emails to IRS, FBI, DOJ, and others as
threats. That might be due to the fact
that she has asked IRS, FBI, and DOJ to investigate the Phil Spector case,
Leonard Cohen’s tax fraud, and the theft from Lynch of intellectual property
worth millions of dollars. A legal
default judgment does not involve blatant theft. It is still unknown to Lynch if there was a
quid pro quo between Leonard Cohen and the District Attorney of Los Angeles
that resulted in Cohen testifying about Phil Spector and a version of the gun
incident during her trial. Lynch has
recently discovered evidence that Cohen, through Beverly Hills Police
Department, was in touch with the District Attorney of Los Angeles as early as
2005. Lynch intends to pursue this
matter in her RICO suits.
The author of this entirely deceitful
and slanderous article, posted online in March 2015 in an attempt to slander
and discredit Lynch, is an absolute psychopath who has relentlessly targeted,
stalked, threatened, intimidated, and harassed Lynch, her sons, sister,
brother-in-law, elderly parents, friends of Lynch’s, and now Paulette Brandt. Leonard Cohen’s lawyer, Michelle Rice, and
the City Attorney of Los Angeles actively encouraged Gianelli to continue
harassing and provoking Lynch. The
tactics used against Lynch involve the relentless targeting of her sons and
members of her family.
Ann Diamond’s piece on “Stephen
Gianelli,” who represents Leonard Cohen’s legal interests and is obsessed with
Phil Spector matters, is quite insightful.
She has also been relentlessly targeted by “Stephen Gianelli.” Gianelli has worked in tandem with Leonard
Cohen’s fan, Susanne Walsh, and Phil Spector’s former assistant, Michelle
Blaine, in targeting Lynch, members of her family, and others. Stephen Gianelli appears to be an operative
of both Leonard Cohen’s and certain political actors in Los Angeles. That would include, but is not limited to,
the City Attorney of Los Angeles who blatantly instructed this man to harass
Lynch and pass along an official message from that office to Lynch.
KELLEY
LYNCH HAS BEEN RESIDING (since June of 2013) with Paulette Brandt, Phil
Spector’s former personal assistant for 6-years, who Spector let go in the
2002. The pair resides in a cluttered, two bedroom fourplex, that (as Lynch has
disclosed many times on her blog and in court filings) is located at 1754 N.
Van Ness Avenue, Hollywood, California 90028 (pictured above), along with 51
year old housemate Linda Carol a/k/a Linda Murphy, and Brandt's six housecats.
Lynch’s route to this working class neighborhood from a $2.3M house with a pool
in OJ Simpson’s posh former zip code was to say the least, less than direct.
Stephen Gianelli is now obsessed with
not only Lynch and her sons but also Paulette Brandt. He has now represented Paulette Brandt’s
former roommate, an individual he did not know, and defrauded Ms. Brandt while
attempting to elicit information about her.
This conduct continues to this day.
It is Lynch’s belief that the reason Paulette Brandt is being targeted
has to do with the fact that she has known Phil Spector her entire adult life;
believes he is innocent; and has not caved into Gianelli’s attempts to
intimidate her into abandoning her friendship with Lynch. Paulette Brandt has submitted declarations to
LA Superior Court with respect to Lynch, the fact that Lynch was not served
Cohen’s Complaint, and with respect to the ongoing criminal harassment. Paulette Brandt has also worked with Phil
Spector (in the early 70s and again from 1991 through 2002); worked inside the
house where many of the incidents allegedly occurred; and knows quite a number
of the witnesses who testified during Spector’s trial. Lynch never bought a house for $2.3
million. This is merely part of Cohen
and Gianelli’s narrative which is nothing other than Cohen’s defense to
allegations that he committed criminal tax fraud. Lynch and Paulette Brandt do not live with
Linda Murphy. Leonard Cohen has also
targeted Paulette Brandt. She provided a
basic declaration in Lynch’s motion to vacate the fraudulent default judgment
matter. Paulette Brandt planned to
testify at the January 2014 hearing. The
court refused to permit witnesses to testify.
Therefore, when Lynch filed her motion addressing fraud upon the court,
Paulette Brandt provided a detailed declaration. Cohen falsely accused Paulette Brandt of
changing her testimony. His lawyer,
Robert Kory, ended up communicating with Paulette Brandt’s former roommate who
conveniently was represented by Stephen Gianelli in Ms. Brandt’s Small Claims
matter before LA Superior Court. This situation is highly coordinated.
AS WITH
ANY STORY, WE BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING: New York City where Lynch, was hired by
lawyer Marty Machat and his son Steven as a secretary. The father/son firm
Machat & Machat was managing music legends Phil Spector and a rising new
singer, songwriter and performer named Leonard Cohen. As Steven Machat recalls
it now, he urged his father not to hire her “I really asked my dad not to hire
her, she was a groupie,” Machat explained in February of 2014. Machat related
that he saw signs of trouble in Lynch early on, “she was not capable from the
day I met her. If she had nothing to do, her mind would wander back then cause
trouble. She had to stay busy or else her dark side would appear,” Machat wrote
us in a February 5, 2014 email.
Steven Machat didn’t know Kelley
Lynch when his father hired her so it would have been impossible for him to
urge his father not to hire her. Marty
Machat was quite clear that Lynch was not a “groupie” and that’s precisely why
he hired her. After Marty Machat’s
death, Steven Machat actually offered Kelley Lynch a job. In any event, in the nearly 17 years Lynch
worked with Cohen she never heard a complaint about the services she
rendered. She heard plenty of complaints
about the fact that she refused to have sex with Cohen who routinely threatened
her job over that issue.
WHEN
MARTY MACHAT DIED SUDDENLY IN 1988, Steven – who wound up his father’s affairs
– was even blunter with Leonard Cohen, who was considering hiring Lynch to
replace Marty as his manager. “I told Cohen he was insane to hire her.”
Machat’s email stated. Nor was Machat at all surprised at Kelley Lynch’s
spectacular downfall 19 years later. “I am shocked it lasted so long,” Machat
stated about Lynch’s employment as Cohen’s manager.
Actually, after Marty Machat’s
unexpected death, the Machat family believed Leonard Cohen stole bearer bonds
belonging to their family. Steven Machat
was adamant that he and his father owned 15% of the Cohen related corporation,
Stranger Music, Inc. Steven Machat was
also adamant that Cohen withheld commissions due Machat & Machat and failed
to pay through royalties due them with respect to the song “When I Need You.” Machat
reviewed these details with Lynch’s public defenders. At some point after Lynch and Cohen parted
ways, Kelley Lynch discovered evidence of Machat & Machat’s ownership
interest in Stranger Music, Inc. According
to the City Attorney of Los Angeles, this “annoys” Leonard Cohen. Steven Machat ultimately advised Lynch that
he intended to sue Cohen and his evil liar/lawyer, Robert Kory. For further details about discussions Lynch
and Machat have had, please refer to the transcript of their conversation. See also excerpts from Machat’s book with
respect to Leonard Cohen. Steven Machat,
an attorney and accountant, understands the following as well: 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.
It is of course fascinating to note that
Cohen’s operative, Stephen Gianelli, is using Steven Machat to defend his
client when Machat personally understands that Leonard Cohen and his lawyer,
Robert Kory, are “two evil liars.” Lynch
and Machat & Machat had the identical compensation agreements with Leonard
Cohen: 15% fees for personal management
and 15% of all intellectual property for extensive work in other areas. Leonard Cohen has now stolen both Lynch and
Machat’s ownership interest in intellectual property and wrongfully withheld
commissions due Lynch and Machat. Leonard
Cohen’s sense of greed and entitlement is inconceivable.

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.
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.
Leonard told me before I left that he had actually offered Kelley
a settlement …
[Leonard Cohen offered
Lynch, among other things, 50% community property and anything she wanted. The caveat involved testifying falsely that
Cohen’s representatives defrauded him.
This situation was extensively addressed in Natural Wealth’s lawsuit
against Cohen and Kory.]
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.
LYNCH’S
FIRST HUSBAND RICHARD DALLETT, who split from her before she made her move to
NYC to work for Machat & Machat, supplied further insight by revealing in a
2010 phone conversation from his motor yacht based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,
that Lynch’s brother was a diagnosed schizophrenic who also became homeless.
Dallett informed us in the same conversation that earlier that same year (after
Lynch sent out a mass email from Ft. Lauderdale stating "my friends are
trying to fix me up with my ex-husband Richard Dallett") Lynch showed up
at his yacht "falling down drunk" and that he did not invite Lynch or
her friend "Eric" (who he described as an area antiques dealer)
aboard.
In the following emails, Richard
Dallett confirms what he discussed when Gianelli hunted him down and attempted
to elicit information about Kelley Lynch.
Gianelli also appears to have impersonated a social worker who falsely
informed Richard Dallett that Lynch was a “crack addict” and advised him not to
assist her financially. At no time did
Richard Dallett state that Lynch’s brother was a “schizophrenic.” No one showed up at Dallett’s boat “falling
down drunk” and Lynch and her friends did indeed go sailing with him. Stephen Gianelli, who is Leonard Cohen’s
operative, evidently phoned Dallett several times. This man is positively obsessed. He engages in blatant witness tampering,
witness intimidation, and slanders Lynch while defending Leonard Cohen and his
legal issues. He also attempts to
infiltrate and interfere with matters such as the case before Tax Court and
Phil Spector’s legal matters. In other
emails Richard Dallett sent Lynch, all forwarded to IRS and other agencies, he
confirmed that he had no idea what Gianelli was talking about when he lied
about their conversations. Gianelli does
indeed impersonate people and uses monikers with which to harass Lynch and
engage in dialogues with himself online and in harassing emails. That would appear to include, but is not
limited to, Kelly Green, Mongochili, 14th Sheepdog, and 17th
Shitzu.

Kelley, shortly after your visit here, a guy by the name of

been staying with a friend named Eric. I did not remember Eric’s last

I have never met Mr. Gianelli, I just thought he was a friend of yours trying
to contact you. Mr. Gianelli contacted me several times again, and I told
him I had no further information as to your whereabouts, which was true.
If he contacts me again, I promise I will not talk to him. I had no idea
you were in some kind of conflict with him.

Kelley, you may well have sent me copies of e-mails discussing
your being harassed, but quite frankly they were so long and made references to
so many people that “Gianelli” rang no bell. I am very sorry.
Please accept my apology. The incident when someone called me and advised
me not to lend you money was several years ago, and I never associated that
call with Gianelli”s. If you give me Eric’s phone number or e-mail I will
contact him and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Again, if anyone
ever contacts me in regard to you I will say nothing.

FOR
WHATEVER REASON, COHEN CHOSE TO IGNORE Steven Machat’s blunt appraisal and to
hire Kelley Lynch as his personal manager, who moved to Los Angeles, joined by
her mother Joan, her father John (who relocated from Pennsylvania) as well as
Lynch’s sister Karen who all assisted with Cohen’s business affairs during the
19 years that Lynch’s was Cohen’s manager.
Steven Machat never advised Leonard
Cohen not to hire Lynch. Leonard Cohen
avoided Steven Machat like the plague. Lynch’s
sister moved to Los Angeles and worked for Billboard Magazine and Peter Lubin
when he and Irving Azoff were partners in Giant Records and merchandising. Leonard Cohen actually personally hired
Lynch’s father to handle construction on his garage which he transformed into a
recording studio and guest suite for his sister. Lynch’s mother did indeed work for her. None of this is sinister however. Lynch also worked as Adam Cohen’s personal
manager and helped Cohen raise his teenage daughter. That was evidently convenient for Leonard
Cohen but that factual narrative has evidently worn out its usefulness for
Cohen.
IN LATE
1994, COHEN DECIDED TO TAKE SEVERAL YEARS OFF FROM THE MUSIC BUSINESS to spend
time at the Mt. Baldy Zen Center. At that point, in his 30-year music career,
Cohen was set financially due to approximately $1M in passive royalty income
that Cohen received annually. Nevertheless, when Cohen stopped touring, Lynch –
who by oral agreement was receiving a 10% commission on Cohen’s album sales and
box office revenues (later raised to 15%) – suffered a corresponding diminution
in her income to just over $100,000 annually. While this may seem like a
generous income to some, it was apparently not enough to support Lynch in the
style to which she ultimately became accustomed. Not by a longshot.
Leonard Cohen did not take time off from
the music business to spend time on Mt. Baldy.
He worked on Mt. Baldy to complete the material for a studio album that
was long overdue; lithographs that he planned to sell; and a book of poetry. Cohen also understood, having received
substantial advances, that he was obligated to deliver studio albums to
Sony. Cohen was not actually in a
retreat. He was frequently in Los
Angeles and micro-managed his affairs.
Cohen has merely devised a fabricated narrative that he used to defend
himself with IRS with respect to the allegations that he committed criminal tax
fraud. That narrative clearly involves
Cohen, who has a long history of drug abuse and alcoholism, slandering Lynch by
attempting to paint her as a “drunken slut.”
Leonard Cohen also happens to be a misogynist and seems to feel that
this is a legal defense of some sort.
Leonard Cohen can be viewed working on Mt. Baldy and visiting Lynch’s
management offices.
Please see Lynch’s Case History,
submitted to LA Superior Court with her declaration, for further details on
some of these issues. This document
includes some of the evidence submitted to IRS and other agencies.
While Stephen Gianelli does not know
Lynch, he obviously appears to have information from Leonard Cohen and his
representatives at Kory & Rice.
Gianelli also appears to have been engaged in a long and extensive
dialogue with Leonard Cohen’s legal representatives since hearing from Michelle
Rice in May 2009. At that time, Gianelli
began criminally harassing Lynch, her sons, sister, brother-in-law, elderly
parents, and friends. Cohen agreed to
pay Lynch a 15% commission for services she rendered as his personal
manager. Leonard Cohen has evidently now
changed that to relate specifically to “album sales” and “box office revenues”
although he advised LA Superior Court that his agreement with Lynch involved
paying her 15% of gross income. For some
reason, Cohen and his accountant falsely advised LA Superior Court that Lynch
was not entitled to receive commissions for royalties (including “album sales”
royalties) that he deposited to his personal bank account. Lynch is not the party with the extravagant
lifestyle. That would be Leonard Cohen
who is a spendthrift. He gave gifts of
$17,000 statues, $18,000 baby grand pianos, homes to his son and girlfriend,
$500,000 to Mt. Baldy, $5,000-$6,000/month to support his son, and so
forth. His spending was not supported by
his work habits. From 1988 through 2000,
Leonard Cohen delivered two studio albums to Sony. He wasn’t in a position to spend this type of
money.
AT THE
HEIGHT OF KELLEY LYNCH’S SPENDING she was supporting the taxes, mortgage and
maintenance on her $2.3M Brentwood, California residence where she, her two
sons Rutger and Ray lived, the salary of her personal assistant (who watched
the kids, managed the house, and served meals), was paying a monthly salary to
both of her parents (who were residing in a luxury condominium that Lynch
purchased for them), had a five figure running balance on her Neiman Marcus
account, and monthly AMEX charges that during her last month of employment in
2004 topped $70,000.
Lynch never had a mortgage of $2.3
million. She bought her home with
commissions based on deals she negotiated on behalf of Adam Cohen, Cohen’s
son. She also used her retirement
account to pay the down payment. The IRS
can independently verify this as Lynch paid the appropriate taxes due on the
retirement funds she withdrew and used. Leonard
Cohen has merely decided to lie about this issue. Her mortgage was approximately $700,000. Lynch never had a personal assistant in her
home or household manager. Leonard Cohen
did. Lynch’s parents didn’t live in a
luxury condominium. Lynch had a business
line of credit with American Express that related to two businesses: Stranger Management and Amazing Card Company. Her personal expenses are none of Leonard
Cohen’s business as he wasn’t her husband and they most certainly were not in a
“dating” or “engagement” relationship although he has lied about this to LA
Superior Court as well. Leonard Cohen is
living proof that liars prevail in courts of law. This is particularly true if one lies about
issues related to serving a summons and complaint. This is a guaranteed path to victory particularly
before LA Superior Court. It is
fascinating that Cohen would steal from Lynch, withhold commissions due her for
services rendered, and then lie about her spending habits as if he was in some
type of brutal “divorce” with Lynch.
Cohen also conveniently developed a narrative that he and Lynch were in
a “dating” or “engagement” relationship.
Cohen has now come to believe that sexually harassing his female
business colleague; exposing his penis to her; demanding that she read legal
and business documents to him while he soaked in bubble baths; and looking at
people defecating online in front of her is some type of “intimate”
relationship. Leonard Cohen clearly
believes that his salacious narrative will subvert the truth, facts, and
evidence. He enjoys his unopposed and
unchallenged narratives. It has worked
beautifully before numerous courts of law to date. However, Leonard Cohen has substantial money
and power to have his lawyers on retainer 24/7 targeting Lynch and has ended up
personally aligned with the City Attorney and District Attorney of Los
Angeles.
ONE
FORMER FRIEND INFORMED US THAT SHE WATCHED, AMAZED, as Kelley Lynch dropped a
six-figure sum at Neiman Marcus on shoes alone in less than an hour, and then
proceeded to spend a similar sum on precious jewelry – all on the same outing.
“I assumed at that point the position [ as Cohen’s manager] plus family money
put her in an exceptional and privileged tax bracket,” the former friend told
us in an email this year. That would turn out to be far from the case. In fact,
Kelley Lynch was supporting Lynch’s entire family at that point and not the
other way around.
Kelley Lynch never dropped six
figures on anything but her house. Lynch
never spent a “similar sum” on “precious jewelry” but LAPD did stop by Lynch’s
house and lied to her about “jewel thiefs” in the neighborhood. Perhaps Leonard Cohen’s lies to LAPD are more
extensive than Lynch imagines. In any
event, Lynch and LAPD ended up discussing IRS and Cohen’s federal tax
matters. No one Lynch knows would inform
anyone that they felt she was in an “exceptional and privileged tax
bracket.” Lynch never associated with
anyone who spoke in terms of tax brackets.
Leonard Cohen is the person obsessed with tax brackets and who possesses
an inordinate disdain for “ordinary income” taxes. No one that Lynch knows would believe that
she was being supported by her family.
Lynch did not support her entire family.
She supported her sons and her younger son’s father owes her a
tremendous amount of money and ended up in bed with Leonard Cohen. Cohen and his lawyer, Robert Kory, decided to
stir up a custody matter by falsely accusing Lynch of having sex with “Oliver
Stone.” This evidently unhinged an
already unhinged “Steve Lindsey” who destroyed his son’s life over this
situation and permitted him to be targeted, as a minor, by Stephen Gianelli, an
adult stranger and sexual predator or serial murder for all Lynch knows. Of course, those emails made her son physically
ill, and Child Services in Los Angeles was supposed to charge Lindsey with
abuse of Lynch and her sons, but this is the man LA Superior Court decided
should “win” custody of her child based on fraud, lies, perjury, and another
insane “default judgment.”
STEVEN
MACHAT’S OMINOUS OBSERVATION FROM TWO DECADES BEFORE was apparently coming
true; now that she had little to do with Cohen on Mt. Baldy meditating, what
Machat described as “Kelley’s dark side” was emerging. Former friends and her
children Rutger and Ray also alluded in emails transmitted to the author, to an
increasing alcohol dependency problem, Ray telling us that his father Steve
Lindsey had been trying to get Lynch to go into alcohol rehabilitation for
years – “as did the rest of the family”. Lynch was resolute. She simply did not
have a problem – period. Lynch's son Rutger said to us in a Jun 13, 2013 email:
"She just can't hold it together
anymore, the alcohol has really gotten to her."
Rutger and Ray read emails slandering
their mother horrendously. They have
both confirmed that this slanderous information confused them. These were also sent to government agencies
in an attempt to intimidate and threaten Lynch, her family members, and
friends. That would include the “City
Attorney of Los Angeles.” Stephen Gianelli,
who has criminally targeted Lynch and her family for years now, including when
her younger son was a minor, decided to begin emailing Lynch’s so-called
prosecutor slandering her horrendously. Evidently Lynch’s prosecutor provided
Gianelli with her email address. When
Lynch attempted to have the City Attorney put an end to the ongoing harassment,
the City Attorney used it as an opportunity to retaliate against her. Lynch does not have an “alcohol dependency
problem” and the only person who has been in “rehab” or “therapy” for drug and
alcohol abuse is Lynch’s younger son’s father.
Leonard Cohen also has a long and publicly documented history of illicit
drug use (LSD, meth, mandrax), alcoholism, and psychiatric problems. Lynch’s family was not resolute about this
and her mother addressed this situation with LA Superior Court. LA Superior Court, on the other hand,
provided Cohen with orders, judgments, and verdicts based on lies, perjury, and
fraud. Rutger Penick responded to a
slanderous email where Stephen Gianelli, who appeared to have information from
the City Attorney about Lynch, attempted to intimidate her son. He therefore attempted to approach Gianelli
in a conciliatory manner in order to find out what was actually going on. Rutger Penick has addressed this situation in
his declaration signed personally by him.
At no time did Lindsey, who hadn’t lived with Lynch since 1997, advise
her to go into alcohol rehab. Lindsey
has spent time in therapy for dependency on drugs.
Lynch’s grievances to the City
Attorney can be viewed at the following link.
AFTER
COHEN VOLUNTARILY ACCEPTED A LOWER INCOME during the Mt. Baldy years
(1994-1999), Lynch began secretly paying herself a substantially greater share
of Cohen’s royalty income than agreed. To do this Lynch had to, and did,
conceal a substantial part of Cohen’s royalty income from him in order to steal
it, while at the same time conveying the false impression to Cohen that he
needed money.
Cohen didn’t “voluntarily” accept a
lower income. He received substantial
advances, was contractually obligated to deliver albums to Sony, and the
royalty income was diminished by his decision to pursue intellectual property
deals which resulted in the inability to renew many publishing agreements. Leonard Cohen’s declaration in the CAK bond
deal litigation completely discredits and undermines his new position that part
of his “royalty income” was concealed.
Leonard Cohen understood precisely what his royalty income was;
studiously reviewed financial statements and sales figures; and declared under
the oath of perjury that he understood the royalty income was substantial. Cohen signed a Terms & Conditions
document with CAK confirming the precisely amount of royalties needed to
generate the bond securitization deal he personally was pursuing. Cohen’s declaration also confirms that he was
aware of all details regarding the intellectual property deals that he demanded;
Lynch was his personal manager; and he was the driving force behind the
deals. LA Superior Court has now sealed
this document although it is available through the Southern District of New
York. See CAK bond deal declaration
uploaded separately and made a part hereof.
Lynch stole nothing. Leonard
Cohen and LC Investments, LLC have now stolen millions in royalty income
related to assets that belong to Blue Mist Touring Company, Inc. That particular issue is separate and apart
from Cohen’s personal theft from Traditional Holdings, LLC. Leonard Cohen is now attempting to conceal
the actual evidence that does not support the fraudulent default judgment. Leonard Cohen did not have a “false
impression” that he needed money. He
understood precisely what royalty income was generated. Cohen has now also stolen approximately $6.7
million from the so-called “retirement” account although he personally signed
the Annuity Agreement confirming that, while he could take loans, he would
repay them within three years with interest.
His personal corporate and tax lawyer also “extinguished the “annuity
obligation” from the 2001 federal TH tax returns.
LYNCH
THEN DEVISED AN EVEN MORE SINISTER STRATEGY: Lynch began plotting the sale of
Cohen’s income producing intellectual property assets for her own benefit,
ostensibly to fund Cohen’s retirement, even though (concealed by Lynch from
Cohen) Cohen’s music catalog and other assets produced a passive $1M annually –
which was more than enough to support the music star’s modest lifestyle.
Lynch didn’t plot the sale of Cohen’s
intellectual property assets and the intellectual property assets are not
Leonard Cohen’s. This is merely Cohen’s
defense to the allegations that he committed criminal tax fraud but he inconceivably
continues to argue that he engaged in self-dealing; is the alter ego of the
corporations; embezzled money belonging to corporate entities; stole money from
corporate entities; and engaged in money laundering. Leonard Cohen was to be paid an annuity
obligation of $4.7 million beginning in 2011.
He has now borrowed, or caused to be expended, approximately $6.7 million
from that corporate account and refuses to repay these amounts with
interest. Leonard Cohen did not have a
“modest lifestyle.” Cohen signed the
agreement confirming that the annuity payments would be withheld or suspended
until his loans/advances were repaid. People
with modest lifestyles do not buy homes and buildings for their friends and
family members; give $500,000 donations, or spend money in the manner in which
Leonard Cohen did. Neal Greenberg,
Cohen’s personal financial advisor, has also confirmed that Cohen was a
spendthrift who could not live within budgets.
LYNCH
INTRODUCED COHEN TO RICHARD WESTIN (a tax attorney) and to Neil Greenberg (an
investment advisor), and orchestrated the 1997 sale of Cohen’s music publishing
company and the 2001 sale of Cohen’s bundle of artist’s royalties in 2001 for a
combined $12M.
Kelley Lynch did not know Richard
Westin and most certainly did not introduce him to Leonard Cohen. Lynch also did not know Neal Greenberg. She knew his ex-wife and was unaware that he
was an investor. Greenberg visited Los
Angeles and ran into Leonard Cohen at a Buddhist center. They connected and Cohen personally met with
and hired Greenberg. Leonard Cohen
orchestrated the 1997 sale of Stranger Music, Inc. He demanded that sale and personally hired
Greenberg and Westin to assist him.
Cohen, Greenberg, and Westin were wrapped in attorney/client
privilege. At that time, he failed to
inform Lynch, and possibly Sony, that Machat & Machat had a 15% ownership
interest in Stranger Music, Inc. The two
deals may have grossed $12 million but Cohen decided to tie up substantial
income with his two charitable remainder trusts. He gifted Mt. Baldy over
$500,000 in stock. As Greenberg
personally confirmed in the Natural Wealth lawsuit, Cohen viewed these accounts
as his personal piggy banks. Cohen then
proceeded to have a corporation pay his personal transaction fees. He personally signed and authorized the
payment of those fees. The fees totaled
approximately $3.3 million. Although
Cohen signed the authorization related to these payments, he has now taken the
position that his transaction fees were too high. Leonard Cohen personally hired and signed
retainer agreements with many of the representatives who worked on these
transactions on his behalf. Cohen
personally received $1 million as a downpayment on the second transaction. According to Greenberg, approximately $2.7
million was deposited directly into Leonard Cohen’s personal account. Leonard Cohen’s math simply does not work. Evidently Cohen also had personal expenses
totaling an additional $1 million on the 1997 deal. These figures do not include other amounts
Cohen personally received. Furthermore,
there were substantial hold-backs with respect to the gross income related to
the recoupment of Cohen’s personal accounts with Sony and album delivery
requirements. However, Cohen’s
fabricated narrative works when he is unopposed and the news media simply
regurgitates his lies and slanderous tales.
The news media, and the City Attorney of Los Angeles, have promoted a
fraudulent narrative where Cohen is left with a mere $150,000. That narrative fails to address Cohen’s
approximately $6.7 million in loans from the alleged “retirement” account.
WITH
WESTIN’S ASSISTANCE, LYNCH SET UP A BUSINESS ENTITY TO TAKE TITLE TO THESE
SALES PROCEEDS (less Lynch’s $1.2M commission on the deal + several million
more in taxes and other transaction costs) known as Traditional Holdings, LLC.
Unknown to Cohen, however, the tax deferral strategy employed involved
subjecting the entire net sales proceeds of $6.7M to Kelley Lynch’s unfettered
control.
The net sales proceeds did not total
$6.7 million. That is the amount Leonard
Cohen borrowed or caused to be expended.
Gianelli, a criminal stalker with motive, is merely attempting to
obfuscate issues. He is sending this to
third parties in an attempt to disparage, slander, and discredit Lynch while
defending Leonard Cohen’s legal interests and attempting to elicit
information. The Scientist, a world
renown record producer, forwarded the email he received from Gianelli. He has previously advised Gianelli to cease
and desist. The Scientist personally
asked Lynch to contact Phil Spector’s attorneys to inform them that he would
like to stand up for Mr. Spector. He has
been targeted by gold digging groupies and background singers and recorded one
threatening to frame him for murder over her suicide attempt at his house. There appears to be some type of
suicide/extortion scam involved. Other
members of the Reggae community, such as a member of the band Fishbone, have
been targeted by these women as well.
Lynch spoke to Duck of Eek-A-Mouse who explained certain incidents he
was attempting to deal with. Lynch
assumes this is part of the reason for Gianelli’s ongoing harassment of the
Scientist.

Cohen himself has confirmed that
Greenberg was provided with $5 million to invest on behalf of Traditional
Holdings, LLC. Leonard Cohen’s personal transaction
fees (which were not corporate expenses) totaled $3.3 million and approximately
$2.7 million was deposited directly into Leonard Cohen’s personal bank
account. That totals $6 million and does
not include the $1 million down payment Cohen personally received, certain
recoupment figures (totaling over $500,000), and hold-backs related to delivery
requirements. Lynch never set up any
business entity. Richard Westin was
Leonard Cohen’s personal corporate and tax attorney. He did not work for Lynch; she did not have
attorney client privilege with him; and she did not oversee his work. He set up at least one business entity for
Leonard Cohen. Lynch, on the other hand,
asked for and received an Indemnity Agreement from Cohen because she had
suspicions about the validity of the entity.
Lynch had no control whatsoever over the corporate entity or the
investments. The “unfettered control” is
merely Leonard Cohen’s attempt to argue a federal tax issue. Leonard Cohen had unfettered control over the
corporate entities and his investor, Neal Greenberg. Cohen personally hired Greenberg. Lynch found Greenberg’s investment strategies
reckless, aggressive, and rather deranged.
THE
ASSETS THEMSELVES WERE PHYSICALLY PLACED WITH GREENBERG’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY
COMPANY, and Greenberg was ostensibly reporting the fund balance to Cohen
periodically, but in care of Kelley Lynch – who made sure that Cohen never
learned that his retirement nest egg was being systematically siphoned off to
allow Lynch to live large. Through traditional holdings alone, Lynch stole in
excess of $3.5M from the net proceeds of the 1997 and 2001 sales of his
intellectual property rights – after paying herself a 1.2 million dollar
commission. Nice work if you can get it.
The investments were controlled by
Leonard Cohen and his investment adviser, Neal Greenberg. Lynch had no control over them. Greenberg sent monthly financial statements
and a monthly email that included the shareholder loans as they were assets of
the corporation. The emails, sent as a
courtesy, did not include the interest on the loans. Lynch didn’t live large. Lynch stole absolutely nothing and all distributions
made to her were made in accordance with the corporate records. Lynch is still unable to obtain financial
statements, profit and loss statements, etc.
Leonard Cohen seems to be splitting hairs when he attempts to
fraudulently allege that Lynch had control over the investments Cohen hired
Greenberg to oversee. Lynch stole
nothing whatsoever and the figures are always in flux and ever changing. Lynch didn’t pay herself a commission. Cohen paid her for the services she rendered
and she worked inconceivably hard as many people understand. It was not nice work and that would include
Cohen’s sexual harassment, exposing his penis to Lynch, or Cohen’s looking at
people defecating on one another online in front of Lynch.
LYNCH’S
EMBEZZLEMENT WAS ALSO AIDED WHEN SHE OBTAINED A BROAD POWER OF ATTORNEY FROM
COHEN IN JANUARY OF 2002 (which idea Lynch promoted to Cohen ostensibly because
Cohen was leaving for a 3-month trip to India), and by the fact that Lynch’s
parents, who by then were residing in a three bedroom condominium in tony
Pacific Palisades, California purchased by Lynch in 2001, were doing all of
Cohen’s bookkeeping.
Kelley Lynch didn’t embezzle anything
or “obtain” a power of attorney from Cohen.
Leonard Cohen is the individual who has embezzled corporate assets. Cohen was in the midst of purchasing homes
for his son and girlfriend, using corporate assets, and requested that Lynch
sign a power of attorney due to the fact that he was about to travel
extensively. The power of attorney has nothing
whatsoever to do with Traditional Holdings, LLC or other entities. Lynch had an ownership interest in those
entities. Cohen has merely converted, or
stolen, Lynch’s interest in certain corporate entities via default judgment
based on a fabricated narrative and fraudulent financial ledger. Lynch’s parents were not Cohen’s
bookkeepers. Jean Ransick was Cohen’s
bookkeeper from approximately 1988 through 1998 when she retired. She was replaced by one of Lorca Cohen’s
friends. Lynch’s father paid Cohen’s
bills, using checks signed personally by Cohen, and assisted with other
matters. He was not a bookkeeper and
Cohen understood this fact. Leonard
Cohen, who used off-shore accounts to funnel income based on a 1977 tax
memorandum submitted to Tax Court, also falsely accused Lynch’s parents of
hiding his “cash” in off-shore accounts.
He falsely accused Lynch’s sister of starting her computer business with
his “cash.” Leonard Cohen is a chronic
liar and even when confronted with the facts and evidence can and will never
back down. He is also used to having his
preposterous fabricated narratives go unchallenged. Cohen’s personal bank statements were sent to
his home. He religiously reviewed all
financial statements. Leonard Cohen’s representatives handled the financial
accounting with respect to all corporations and the financial investments. Lynch and her parents had nothing whatsoever
to do with those matters.
ONCE THE
POWER OF ATTORNEY WAS SIGNED, LYNCH ACCELERATED HER LOOTING OF COHEN’S ACCOUNTS,
beginning in 2002 with a series of what Lynch called “shareholder loans” taken
from Traditional Holdings, LLC without Cohen’s knowledge. By 2003, Lynch’s
withdrawals from the Traditional Holdings account averaged $88,000 per month
for a 2003 total of $1.1M. Lynch’s 2004 withdrawals from Traditional Holdings
averaged $108,000 a month for a 2004 total of $2.3M.
This is blatantly untrue. The corporate accounts are not Leonard
Cohen’s but he is absolutely adamant that he is the alter ego of these entities. All distributions Lynch received from
Traditional Holdings, LLC are in accordance with the corporate books and
records. Leonard Cohen and his
representatives characterized distributions as “shareholder loans.” Some of the corporate documents are available
online through the State of Kentucky although LA Superior Court has now sealed
them for Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen
has merely replaced the corporate records and federal tax returns with his
fabricated narrative. Lynch, as Westin
confirmed, received $240,000 a year (from profits which are addressed in the
corporate records) for tax and other payments.
She also received two payments ($20,000 and $24,000) related to
promissory note payments and not “salary.”
Lynch has seen no back-up documentation to support Cohen’s fraudulent
financial ledger. That would include
with respect to information provided by Neal Greenberg. The fraudulent financial ledger willfully
disregards Lynch’s ownership interest in Blue Mist Touring Company, Inc.,
Traditional Holdings, LLC, and Old Ideas, LLC.
Leonard Cohen and his personal
corporate and tax attorney evidently determined, secretly and in hindsight,
that Lynch’s ownership interest in Traditional Holdings, LLC was a “mistake”
that they “rectified.” Lynch has been unable
to obtain further details about this blatantly criminal conduct. She also fails to understand why Cohen and
his representatives induced her into entering into agreements with Cohen,
Traditional Holdings, LLC, other entities, transmitted tax documents to her and
tax authorities, or why she paid taxes on the corporations.
GIVEN THE
RATE AT WHICH LYNCH WAS SPENDING, her party with Cohen’s money was over by the
fall of 2005, at which point only $150,000 of Cohen’s retirement savings
remained.
It is not Lynch’s spending that is at
issue. Leonard Cohen has merely come up with additional flourishes to his
fabricated narrative. It is Leonard
Cohen’s excessive spending habits that is at issue. The reason the alleged retirement account was
reduced to $150,000 is due to the fact that Cohen borrowed or caused to be
expended approximately $6.7 million. His
personal corporate and tax lawyer extinguished the annuity obligation from the
2003 tax returns. Cohen and his
representatives were well aware of this fact when they filed the retaliatory
lawsuit against Lynch in 2005. If
Leonard Cohen repaid his loans, with interest, the Traditional Holdings, LLC
account would have well over $10 million.
BY THE
SUMMER OF 2005, LYNCH WAS SHOWING THE STRAIN. After a 911 call, allegedly from
Lynch’s sister Karen stating that Lynch may harm herself and had a gun in the
house, Lynch was involved in a bizarre standoff with LAPD SWAT officers for
4-hours at her Brentwood home, after which she was taken into custody and
transported on a psychiatric hold to King Drew Psychiatric Hospital.
This is a preposterous
narrative. Lynch did not have a gun in
her house. Her son had a registered
rifle in a separate guest house and that is not a reason for LAPD’s obscene response. There was no stand-off. Steve Lindsey’s declaration confirms that he
called 911 on May 25, 2005. Lynch did
not and neither did her sister who has confirmed this in writing. There was no “bizarre standoff.” LAPD held Lynch hostage, and placed her son
in harm’s way, for hours. They willfully
disregarded her son’s statements that she was in the house alone; he had just
been with her; and he had taken her younger down the street. LAPD told Lynch’s son that they planned to
shoot her and her dogs. They ultimately
advised Lynch’s son that her “dog” was her “hostage.” Killer King was not a psychiatric
hospital. It appeared to be a criminal
enterprise that DOJ ultimately shut down.
The entire Killer King file was falsified and does not relate to
Lynch. It was however used to stir up a
fraudulent and fabricated custody matter.
Lynch was not placed on a “psychiatric hold” at King Drew. She was advised to wait her turn and was then
promptly released. The doctor did not
agree with LAPD. Lynch was questioned
about Phil Spector and guns en route.
She didn’t begin that discussion and has no idea how LAPD understood she
knew Phil Spector. She has asked IRS,
FBI, and DOJ to investigate the entire situation.
AT THAT
POINT, LYNCH’S FORMER LIFE BEGAN TO UNRAVEL, and she emerged from King Drew to
learn that physical and legal custody of her youngest son Ray had been awarded
to his father Steven Lindsey in an emergency hearing in family court. Lynch
would later blame Cohen for “orchestrating” that hearing, as well as her “kidnapping”
by the LAPD, which she bizarrely claimed was an “aborted assassination attempt”
to silence her as a “witness” to Leonard Cohen’s “tax fraud”. The stress of the
imminent discovery of her multi-million dollar embezzlement exacerbated by her
spiraling alcohol abuse was taking its toll, and she was beginning to lose her
grip.
Lynch did emerge from Killer King to
discover that a custody matter, based on fraud and perjury, was
“coordinated.” The Killer King incident
was used against her although the entire file is fraudulent and does not relate
to Lynch. Neal Greenberg’s lawyer, Dan
Scheid, confirmed in writing for Lynch that they have evidence that Cohen,
Lindsey, Kory, and others were involved with Lynch’s false arrest, the
coordinated custody matter, and criminal evidence and witness tampering. Lynch has spoken to FBI about this
matter. She forwarded Scheid’s email
confirmation to IRS, FTB, DOJ, and others.
The custody matter was coordinated and Cohen/Kory provided an entirely
fraudulent and perjured declaration.
Lynch’s younger son witnessed a conversation between Lynch and Robert
Kory. Her younger son confirmed that
this information had been repeated to him by his father and others. Lynch’s mother and older son addressed the
King Drew, SWAT, and custody matter in detail in their declarations. Lynch has no idea if it was an “aborted
assassination attempt.” LAPD told her
son that planned to shoot her and their dogs so they weren’t there for a
friendly visit. Lynch didn’t embezzle
anything. Leonard Cohen understood that
Lynch planned to report the allegations that he committed criminal tax fraud to
IRS. He desperately attempted to offer
Lynch many deals. That would include an
offer of 50% community property witnessed by Lynch’s lawyers and accountants. Betsy Superfon also spoke to Cohen and Kory
and confirmed that they would give her whatever she wanted. Lynch asked Superfon to contact Kory and ask
him to fax through the deal they had in mind.
Kory informed Superfon that this was not the type of deal one could
fax. Lynch and Superfon concluded that
it was an illegal deal. Lynch never had
alcohol or mental health problems but slandering Lynch has become routine for
Cohen, Lindsey, and others.
ONCE
COHEN LEARNED OF THE THEFT OF NOT ONLY HIS RETIREMENT FUNDS, but also that his
trusted manager of 19-years had been systematically concealing and depositing
royalty checks made payable to Cohen into her personal checking account – even
instructing Cohen’s bank to pay her AMEX charges directly from Cohen's personal
checking account – the dismayed entertainer fired Lynch and consulted with
independent tax and financial advisors.
Leonard Cohen did not discover theft
from his alleged retirement account as addressed above. City National Bank on one occasion
inadvertently paid an Amex bill related to Lynch from Cohen’s personal
account. Once this was brought to
Lynch’s attention, Cohen was reimbursed for that entire amount within 24 hours.
This happened on one occasion and was immediately rectified. Lynch also routinely paid expenses, that she
personally was to be reimbursed on behalf of Cohen, his son, and daughter. Leonard Cohen agreed to reimburse Lynch for
substantial monies she expended on behalf of Adam Cohen. Those expenses included payments made to
publicists, independent record producers, and others. He has breached this agreement as well. Leonard Cohen clearly believes that he can
enter into agreements, induce others to enter into them, and breach them based
on whatever fabricated narrative works for him at any given moment in
time. Cohen’s son had an additional Amex
card on Lynch’s account. These issues
were not sinister. Cohen didn’t “fire”
Lynch for any of this. In mid-September
2004, Lynch changed accountants. The
accountant filed a power of attorney with IRS.
On October 27, 2004, Lynch’s lawyers wrote Cohen and his personal tax
lawyer, Richard Westin, and asked to meet with them about these entities and
any liability the entities may have had.
This is Cohen’s response. It seems a bit over the top. Cohen used the situation as an opportunity
benefit personally. That would include
by defrauding the U.S. government of the amounts involved with the fraudulent
tax refunds. There also appears to be
insurance fraud, based on Cohen’s fabricated narrative, involving Richard
Westin and Lloyd’s of London.
A
PANICKED LYNCH, WHO WAS ALREADY OVEREXTENDED FINANCIALLY and deeply in debt,
responded by threatening to report Cohen to the IRS for “tax fraud” in
connection with the very tax avoidance scheme devised by advisors that she
brought to the table, if Cohen continued to press his claim for reimbursement,
which Cohen did by suing Lynch for embezzlement, in August of 2005.
Lynch wasn’t panicked. Lynch didn’t bring any advisors to the table
for Cohen. Cohen personally hired
them. Cohen and his representatives
devised the “tax avoidance scheme.”
Lynch had nothing whatsoever to do with any type of legal, tax,
corporate, or accounting advice or representation. She refused to entertain “settlement
negotiations” with respect to monies due her.
She refused to falsely accuse Cohen’s representatives of defrauding
him. She refused to meet with Cohen and
his personal corporate and tax lawyer to unravel their handiwork. Lynch didn’t threaten to report the
allegations that Cohen committed criminal tax fraud. She reported the allegations and Cohen
retaliated. His lawyer confirmed, in his
January 2005 memorandum, that Cohen and his representatives failed to report $8
million in income to IRS. That
memorandum addressed Cohen’s plan to falsely accuse Grubman, Indursky and Greg
McBowman of “fraud in the inducement.”
The memorandum also raised other very serious matters such as “phantom
income” Traditional Holdings, LLC shifted to Lynch but which was not
distributed. Lynch did not bring any
“tax avoidance scheme” to the table but Gianelli clearly represents and defends
Leonard Cohen’s legal issues – including with respect to the federal tax
controversy he has attempted to infest with extraneous slander and false
allegations while also attempting to infiltrate and elicit information from IRS
Chief Trial Counsel’s Office. That’s one
of his roles. Lynch was clear in her
February 2002 email to Cohen and Westin that she didn’t handle IRS, federal
tax, corporate tax, accounting, financial, or legal matters. That was not one of Lynch’s jobs. Leonard Cohen personally hired accountants,
business managers, and lawyers to handle those things for him. Leonard Cohen, with the full understanding
that Lynch reported the allegations of tax fraud to IRS, retaliated against
Lynch with his fraudulent lawsuit. He
also had to confront the egregious allegations in Natural Wealth’s
lawsuit.
LYNCH WAS
SERVED WITH THE SUIT AT HER RESIDENCE ON AUGUST 25, 2005 but refused to give
her name to the process server. Instead of filing a written denial of the
allegations of theft with the court – as most innocent people would do – Lynch
started emailing the attorney that Cohen hired to file and prosecute the $7M
lawsuit, Scott Edelman, threatening Cohen with a prosecution for “tax fraud” as
well as a lawsuit of her own for “emotional distress”. One such email, sent by
Lynch within hours of Lynch’s service with the suit, berated Edelman’s
signature on the suit as appearing “feminine”, leaving no doubt that her claims
that she was “never served” with the lawsuit were and are nonsense.
Kelley Lynch was not served Cohen’s
lawsuit. Lynch contacted Edelman in an
attempt to address the fact that she wasn’t served Cohen’s lawsuit. Edelman refused to communicate with her. Stephen Gianelli does not know Lynch; did not
know Cohen or any of these parties at the time; and is obviously a legal
representative of Leonard Cohen’s who also attempts to elicit information about
Phil Spector. He appears to be
moonlighting for the Spector prosecution.
Lynch has now submitted approximately four declarations, all signed by
the declarant, to LA Superior Court confirming that she did not resemble the
individual in the proof of service and she and her son did not have a female
co-occupant or know anyone who resembled the individual. Lynch didn’t threaten
Edelman with prosecution for “tax fraud” because Lynch is not IRS or DOJ and
she has no information about Edelman’s tax situation. She informed Edelman that the situation with
Cohen related to retaliation over Leonard Cohen’s alleged criminal tax fraud
and she believed his lawsuit was an attempt to cover up tax fraud and obstruct
justice. The LA Times brought Cohen’s
lawsuit to Lynch’s attention. Lynch was
able to google information and was able to locate Edelman and Gibson Dunn’s
email addresses and unrelated legal pleadings were available online. Lynch was not served Cohen’s lawsuit and the
failure to serve her does not entitle Leonard Cohen to steal by default
judgment or fabricate a narrative that was used to obtain fraudulent tax
refunds or defend himself with IRS.
Lynch consistently and diligently attempted to address Cohen’s failure
to serve her with him and his lawyers. Within
two months of returning to Los Angeles, Lynch filed her motion to vacate the
fraudulent default judgment. Cohen’s
response was to submit further fraudulent and perjured documents to the
court. Cohen’s lawyers refused to speak
to her. As of this date, she still has
not been served the summons and complaint.
She does not have all documents in any case before LA Superior Court
that relates to her and Cohen.
The declarations of Joan Lynch,
Rutger Penick, Paulette Brandt, Clea Surkhang, Palden Ronge, and Daniel Meade
can be viewed at this link.
The limited powers of attorney
authorizing Lynch to conform certain signatures were submitted to LA Superior
Court together with the declarations signed by the declarants themselves. The Court informed Lynch that her
out-of-state or unavailable witnesses could not testify by CourtCall. And, although Paulette Brandt and Palden
Ronge attended the January 2014 hearing, they were not given an opportunity to
testify. Stephen Gianelli has targeted
each and every one of the witnesses who provided Lynch with declarations. Leonard Cohen falsely accused Lynch of
forging the signatures and fabricating the declarations. He believes that his lies and perjured
statements should be taken as facts. And,
while people in California have most certainly been prosecuted for perjury,
Leonard Cohen appears to be protected by the District Attorney and City
Attorney of Los Angeles.
IN 2006
EDELMAN’S OFFICE EMAILED LYNCH NOTIFYING HER OF THE DATE, TIME AND LOCATION OF
THE COURT HEARING to decide the damages to be awarded against her in the suit,
attaching all of the evidence that Cohen submitted to the court to prove the
amount of his damages. Lynch replied to the email, proving that she received
it, informing Edelman that she would not be attending the hearing because she
considered it to be “tax fraud”. The evidence that was emailed to Kelley Lynch
at that time included this declaration by forensic accountant Kevin Prins,
attaching as exhibits bank statements, canceled checks, and wire transfers –
proving the means, and the amount of, Lynch’s diversion of Cohen’s income and
savings for her own use. Also emailed to Lynch was this declaration by Leonard
Cohen. Lynch never showed at the hearing, instead choosing to hide from the
lawsuit. Not exactly the behavior of a falsely accused person.
Lynch was not served the summons and
complaint and was unaware of the allegations until April 2010 when Gianelli
posted the Complaint online. Scott
Edelman did not serve Lynch and there are rules related to service of pro se
individuals. Evidently no laws or rules
apply to Leonard Cohen or the government actors defending him. Leonard Cohen didn’t prove damages. He submitted a fraudulent financial ledger
and perjured himself extensively in his declaration. This is absolutely acceptable with LA
Superior Court. Lynch did advise
Edelman, and Judge Lewis Babcock, that she viewed Cohen’s retaliatory lawsuit
and Natural Wealth’s lawsuit as an attempt to cover up tax fraud, obfuscate the
issues, and obstruct justice. Lynch was
homeless at the time Edelman allegedly emailed her. She was not in a position to download, open,
print out, read, or review any attachments.
There is no agreement whatsoever between Lynch and Cohen’s legal
representatives with respect to her and email service. Lynch didn’t choose to hide from the
lawsuit. Cohen elected not to serve her
and evidently advised his representatives not to communicate with her. Leonard Cohen’s behavior is the conduct of
someone who is guilty and will go to inconceivable extremes to destroy
someone’s life over his own wrong doing.
Leonard Cohen attached a handful of documents to the fraudulent
financial ledger. Lynch has asked IRS,
FBI, and DOJ to investigate why checks made payable to her also included the
words “FBO Leonard Cohen because she believes this involves some type of
shenanigans. Corporate assets are not
Leonard Cohen’s personal property. Kevin
Prins did not attach bank statements, canceled checks, or wire transfer
documents to his fraudulent expense ledger.
He also willfully disregarded all corporate books, records, stock certificates,
and federal tax returns. Cohen
steadfastly refuses to provide Lynch with an actual accounting that would
address corporate ownership interests, assets, liabilities, and his loans (with
interest) totaling approximately $6.7 million from one entity alone. In the alternative, the fraudulent expense
ledger is blatant evidence of theft, co-mingled assets, and self-dealing.
INSTEAD,
IN 2007, KELLEY LYNCH MET WITH A TREASURY DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE AT LAX, who then
referred Lynch to an agent with the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS
– to whom Lynch accused Cohen of “tax fraud” in connection with the formation
of Traditional Holdings LLC, from which Lynch had earlier embezzled in excess
of $3.5M, and which Lynch herself had assisted in forming as the nominal 95%
shareholder.
Lynch reported Cohen’s tax fraud to
Internal Revenue Service on April 15, 2005.
Cohen retaliated with his lawsuit.
In the summer of 2005, Lynch began documenting everything that was
unfolding in emails for IRS. She had
previously begun document this situation for other individuals and
authorities. Agent Kelly Sopko, U.S.
Treasury, contacted Lynch to arrange a meeting.
Lynch met with Agent Sopko and her partner, Brandon, in Santa Ana,
California where she resided at the time – NOT LAX. The Treasury agents were already aware that
Lynch had reported the allegations that Cohen committed criminal tax fraud to
IRS. They discussed her emails to IRS
Commissioner’s Staff and confirmed that various parties were reading the emails
and somehow handling them. Lynch didn’t
embezzle anything. This is just
blatantly false. Cohen has now stolen
$6.7 million from TH alone. Lynch did
not assist in the formation of Traditional Holdings, LLC or ask to be a
shareholder. She asked for and received
an Indemnity Agreement. Leonard Cohen
and his representatives created these entities for Cohen’s benefit. He demanded complex stock agreements.
LYNCH
STEPPED UP THE HARASSMENT OF HER FORMER EMPLOYER by using the names of these
IRS employees to assert in mass emails to friends, associates, music industry
executives, Cohen’s advisors, and the media, that Cohen was (allegedly) about
to be prosecuted for “tax fraud”. During these years Lynch was sending out as
many as 80-mass-emails a day, all copied to the IRS, the FBI, the national
media and scores of other persons.
Lynch didn’t use IRS employees names
to harass Leonard Cohen. Agent Sopko’s
email instructing Lynch to bring the allegations that Cohen committed criminal
tax fraud to the attention of IRS Agent Luis Tejeda was not marked
“classified.” Lynch attempted to address
the fact that she reported the allegations to IRS, wasn’t served the lawsuit,
wanted Cohen to cease and desist slandering her, and was attempting to obtain
(from Cohen) IRS required tax and corporate information. Lynch has never advised anyone that Cohen is
“about to be prosecuted for tax fraud.”
She believes he should be and is unaware of other U.S. citizens who
failed to report $8 million income; may have a 40 year history of tax fraud in
two countries; funneled income off-shore to evade taxes; stole $6.7 million in
corporate assets; etc. and was permitted to engage in that conduct. Lynch has indeed documented all of this for IRS,
FBI, DOJ, and others. Gianelli then
criminally harasses her over the emails to IRS, FBI, DOJ; routinely lies to
these agencies about her; slanders Lynch publicly; defends Leonard Cohen’s
legal interests; attempts to infiltrate these matters; engages in blatant
criminal witness tampering; and is generally engaged in egregious criminal
conduct. He has informed Lynch that he
is immune. As of the summer of 2005,
Lynch began documenting everything that had unfolded since reporting Cohen’s
criminal tax fraud to IRS on April 15, 2005.
UNKNOWN
TO LYNCH AT THE TIME, once Cohen had discharged Lynch and retrained competent,
loyal management and tax advisors, Cohen amended his tax returns to reflect the
true nature of Traditional Holdings, LLC, and to take a “theft loss deduction”
for the $6M that Lynch stole from him.
Lynch is aware that she and Cohen
parted ways on October 21, 2004. She is
the individual who refused to meet with Cohen and his personal corporate/tax
lawyer to unravel their handiwork. She
also refused to hand over the corporate books and records to Cohen privately
and, in the alternative, had her lawyers transmit them to Cohen’s lawyers. Lynch has no idea if Cohen’s former
representatives were incompetent or not.
Leonard Cohen fraudulently filed tax returns, and obtained fraudulent
tax refunds, using the fabricated LA Superior Court narrative. The true nature of TH appears to be a sham
entity used to funnel disguised income to Cohen and evade taxation. Cohen then evidently filed returns declaring
himself the alter ego of that entity and proving that the 2001 through 2003
returns he and his representatives filed are evidence of fraud. There was and remains no “theft loss” and
this has been challenged with IRS and FTB.
Lynch has also contacted the Senate Judiciary in an attempt to determine
why she wasn’t notified that someone was illegally using her identification
information and using a fabricated narrative to obtain fraud tax refunds. Lynch personally believes IRS should have
provided her with an opportunity to defend herself and confront the fabricated,
fraudulent narrative.
COHEN’S
ADVISORS THEN REQUESTED, AND WERE GRANTED, AN AUDIENCE WITH IRS CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATORS IN 2007, who then cleared Cohen of Lynch’s tax evasion
allegations. Additionally, Cohen received a refund from the IRS after his tax
was recomputed taking into account all of the funds Lynch embezzled. To this
day, the IRS has never questioned these refunds, and the 6-year statute of
limitations to prosecute Lynch's unsupported "tax fraud" claims ran
out years ago.
During Lynch’s 2012 trial, the City
Attorney provided her lawyers with an “IRS Binder” that was evidently some form
of evidence. At that time Lynch
discovered the fraudulent tax refunds.
She has no idea if Agent Tejeda granted Cohen an “audience.” Lynch does not understand how IRS Agent
Tejeda exonerated Leonard Cohen and has seen no evidence supporting these
statements. Cohen did receive fraudulent
tax refunds. Lynch discovered those
fraudulent tax refunds in 2012 and 2013 and has challenged them with IRS. Leonard Cohen evidently plans to argue that the
statute of limitations ran. That’s
precisely what he is arguing with Lynch.
He ran the statute of limitations intentionally with respect to
Lynch. That was part of his plan and
scheme. Leonard Cohen evidently
“recomputed” his tax returns to indicate that he is the alter ego of numerous
corporate entities who stole and/or embezzled from those entities.
ALSO IN
2007, LYNCH FLED TO COLORADO to avoid being prosecuted for her persistent violations
of a civil harassment restraining order Cohen obtained from a Los Angeles court
and to avoid being rearrested by the Santa Monica Police Department as the
result of several failures to appear on misdemeanor warrant cases. Lynch’s
habit of falsely accusing persons of serious crimes to get even was so
established by then that when a man dining in Juanita’s Restaurant in Boulder
disrespected her, Lynch loudly accused the man of molesting his daughter under
the table and refused to leave the premises until police were called. When
police arrived, they arrested Lynch, for criminal trespass, and a Colorado jury
later convicted Lynch of the charge. Kelley Lynch in her 2007 Colorado PD
booking photo
Lynch did not flee to Colorado to
“avoid being prosecuted” re. the “domestic violence order” that Cohen has now
fraudulently obtained. Please refer to
Clea Surkhang’s declaration wherein she confirmed for LA Superior Court that
she and her husband, Yongzin Rinpoche, invited Lynch to visit The reason for this is due to the fact that
Lynch’s son suffered a horrendous accident and they felt she was under enormous
stress at the time. Lynch wasn’t in
Santa Monica so there was no chance that SMPD could target her further. She documented their conduct extensively for
DOJ and others. Lynch didn’t falsely
accuse anyone of anything. Boulder,
Colorado has a serious problem with pedophilia and rape. Lynch was convinced that a man near her had
his penis out (under the table) in front of a child. She left the restaurant to find Boulder
PD. By the time she returned, the
individual had lied to the manager and waitress about Lynch. They weren’t present and couldn’t confirm
what Lynch did or didn’t see. She
returned to pay her bill and asked the restaurant to phone Boulder PD. What unfolded was abject insanity. Lynch didn’t accuse the man of “molesting”
his daughter. Lynch has no idea if the
child was the man’s daughter and he didn’t touch her. Gianelli is attempt to confuse this with
Lorca Cohen’s allegations that her father molested. See Ann Diamond’s declaration for further
details about that matter. This
evidently amuses Cohen’s lawyer, Michelle rice.
The word “molested” was redacted when Lynch posted Diamond’s declaration
online. The police did not arrest Lynch
for “criminal trespass.” They arrested
Lynch for obstruction of a police officer which is evidently a catch all in
Boulder, Colorado. The jurors didn’t
believe Boulder PD. The manager lied to the Sheriff’s Department when they
attempted to serve Lynch’s subpoena on the owner. The Sheriff’s Department was told that the
owner no longer worked there. Lynch
tutored the owner’s niece’s boyfriend, through Boulder Reads, and knows for a
fact that this is a bald faced lie and she wasn’t “trespassing.” Lynch prevailed on the only issue she was
actually arrested over and Boulder PD shouldn’t celebrate this situation
anytime soon. This is the town where
Jean Benet Ramsey was murdered and many college students are raped. Lynch has asked IRS, FBI, and DOJ to investigate
Boulder PD’s conduct towards her. A
lawyer she hired, with respect to an unrelated matter, felt Cohen/Kory were
behind this. Gianelli has been clear
that Spector DDA Pat Dixon was behind some of Boulder PD’s activity as
well.
IN 2008,
LEONARD COHEN, WHO WAS PLANNING A CONCERT IN THE BOULDER AREA and was concerned
for his safety, applied to a Colorado court for a civil harassment restraining
order. Lynch appeared at the hearing, and after a few minutes of
cross-examination by Cohen’s Colorado lawyer, requested the judge to simply
issue the permanent injunction, which was done. Lynch would later
disingenuously claim that she “was never served” with Cohen’s court petition,
that the restraining order was “fraudulently issued”, and that the Colorado
court lacked jurisdiction because her dispute with Cohen was now “an IRS
matter”. (All of these claims are quickly dispelled by reading the relevant hearing
transcript.)
On or about August 18, 2008, Leonard
Cohen and his lawyer threatened Ann Diamond over her article. Kory specifically raised the “criminal tax
fraud” as an issue although he is not IRS.
He does seem willing to speak on behalf of IRS and lie about IRS and
federal tax matters. Leonard Cohen, as
Michelle Rice confirmed, understood that the fraudulent 2005 LA Superior Court
“civil harassment” order was expiring. One
day after threatening Ann Diamond, in the midst of his European tour, Cohen
made an extraordinary flight into Boulder, Colorado. Lynch did appear at the hearing but remains
unconvinced that Cohen’s lawyer was actually engaged in direct
examination. He was however unable to
explain what “indirectly” vs. “directly” means.
Lynch eventually informed the Court that she felt these individuals
(Cohen, Kory, Rice, etc.) were insane and asked her to enter the order. She was unaware at that time that Cohen
submitted an entirely perjured declaration to the Court in support of this
fraudulent order. The order was issued
without findings. It has now been
registered fraudulently in California as “domestic violence order.” Leonard Cohen’s declaration failed to mention
that he was concerned about his concert scheduled for nearly a year following
his extraordinary flight into Colorado.
There is no evidence to support this insane theory in any event. Lynch
believes the fraudulent restraining orders have been used to prevent her from
requesting IRS required tax information.
Please refer to the transcript of the Colorado hearing to confirm the
fact that Lynch did not agree to the entry of any order based on fraud and
perjury. She discovered Cohen’s
declaration after the hearing and filed a motion to quash. LA Superior Court also believes that the
domestic violence fraud should have been addressed during the 2012
hearing. However, the order was
fraudulently registered nearly a year prior to that hearing so that doesn’t
explain the failure to serve or notify Lynch of the newly created “domestic
violence order.” It also doesn’t explain
why LA Superior Court believes it can simply assign someone a “dating
relationship” particularly when Cohen himself testified before LA Superior
Court that we were in a “purely business relationship.” He also testified that Lynch never stole from
him – just his “peace of mind.” Six
months prior to Cohen’s obtaining his first fraudulent restraining order,
Natural Wealth’s lawsuit confirmed that Cohen and Kory planned to use these
orders to discredit Lynch and prevent her from serving as a credible
witness. Cohen’s concert was scheduled
for July 2009. People are delusional if
they believe Lynch would attend his concert but evidently this type of
narrative works with LAPD’s Threat Management Unit who investigates “celebrity”
stalking.
Lynch has never said she wasn’t
“served” documents related to the fraudulent Colorado temporary restraining
order. She has said that there are false
and/or perjured statements in the proof of service. Those are two very different concepts. The process server ran around Boulder,
Colorado informing people who knew Lynch that he had a check for her son,
Rutger, related to his horrendous accident at Whole Foods. That information was obviously provided to
him by Cohen and his legal representatives.
WHILE
LIVING IN THE BOULDER AREA, Kelley Lynch worked at Deneuve Construction by day,
but continued her campaign of harassment of Leonard Cohen, and many others,
night and day. Lynch began leaving 30 rambling, bizarre and intoxicated voice
messages a night for New York City attorney Bruce Cutler – whom Lynch had
threatened to retain to sue Cohen. Lynch would also send Cutler 100+ page, unsolicited
faxes to Cutler’s office every day – to the point that the firm from whom
Cutler sublet his office space could not use its own fax machine. Beginning in
2008, Cutler asked his friend – Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Pat
Dixon to assist him in putting a stop to the harassment, to no avail. When
Lynch discovered Cutler’s email address, she started sending Cutler
"hundreds of emails every single day". [This harassment, which
greatly disrupted Cutler’s life for five years is detailed in Bruce Cutler’s
April, 2012 letter to Kelley Lynch’s sentencing judge, who subsequently
sentenced Lynch to serve 18-months in jail for violating the Colorado
restraining order after it was registered in California.]
Lynch did not harass Cohen from
Colorado. Cohen and Lindsey’s lawyers
harassed Lynch and her employer. Lynch
didn’t leave “intoxicated voice messages” for Bruce Cutler. Bruce Cutler wrote LA Superior Court about
Lynch’s alleged messages and emails. He
confirmed that he destroyed them. Please
refer to the three pieces of evidence Cutler submitted to LA Superior
Court. Lynch attempted to notify Phil
Spector that former DA Steve Cooley had his investigator in the courtroom;
Cohen was testifying with respect to one of his bullshit gun stories about Phil
Spector; and Lynch felt the former DA and Cohen might actually confess to being
involved in a “blatant legal conspiracy” that involves her, IRS and federal tax
matters, and the Spector case. Lynch has
no idea if “Pat Dixon” is Cutler’s friend.
But Pat Dixon is not Kelley Lynch or Phil Spector’s friend and she has
asked IRS, FBI, and DOJ to investigate the situation. It seems beyond strange that a New York
attorney would ask a California prosecutor to do something about someone who
resided in Boulder, Colorado. Stephen
Gianelli has advised Lynch that “Pat Dixon” was behind Boulder PD’s roll by of
Deneuve Construction. Gianelli attempts
to elicit information about Phil Spector and his legal team. He does this, in part, by lying in hopes that
the lies will be refuted. The Boulder
Combined Court advised Lynch and Paulette Brandt, since approximately January
2010, that the permanent order expired on February 15, 2009. Stephen Gianelli, who infiltrates matters,
used Lynch when he contacted Bruce Cutler.
Lynch addressed this situation directly with Phil Spector who
responded.
LYNCH –
WHO BEGAN VIOLATING THE COLORADO ORDER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY and – apparently
fearing prosecution - temporarily fled Colorado, traveling to New Jersey to
stay with a family friend in the “waste management business” who arranged an
appointment with his lawyer. Lynch later blogged that she informed the lawyer
that she “preferred to wait for Bruce Cutler to represent her” and that the
attorney agreed with the wisdom of that plan.
Leonard Cohen personally testified
that he did not hear from Lynch until September 20 or 21, 2011. The prosecutor repeatedly asked Cohen to
review emails he was not a recipient of.
That would include Lynch’s April 18, 2011 email to Dennis Riordan. Cohen simply perjured himself over that email
and testified that he was a recipient when he was not. The prosecutor concealed the portions of that
email thread that related to legitimate requests for tax information and
addressed specifically to IRS Commissioner’s Staff. This was willful on the part of the
prosecutor who simply informed the court and jurors that she “misspoke.” The prosecutor would also inform Lynch that
she had testified about matters which she had not. These are the types of tactics the prosecutor
used throughout the 2012 trial. On top
of the egregious prosecutorial misconduct, there were blatant Brady material
violations and other forms of misconduct.
The jurors were not provided with LAPD’s report which concluded that
Lynch’s alleged emails were generally requests for tax returns. The jurors were provided with inconceivably
incoherent transcripts of voice mail messages that were not date/time
stamped. Lynch intends to submit
accurate transcripts of these messages to federal court in connection with her
RICO suits.
2012
Trial Testimony:
Streeter: Do you
recall if you received emails from Ms. Lynch on September 6, 2011 at
approximately 7.25 PM? … Cohen: I’m not sure I’m copied on this one … I’m not
so sure that I’m copied on this one. I
have to look at the recipients very carefully.
Streeter: Okay. Cohen:
I don’t think I’m copied on this one.
Streeter: Do you know if you
received emails from Ms. Lynch in the month of September? Cohen:
Yes, I began receiving emails from Ms. Lynch, I believe, on September 20th,
21st [2011]. RT 176-177 Cohen:
I don’t think she wrote me before September 20th. RT 178
That was immediately following
Lynch’s conversation with Doug Davis, Franchise Tax Board. Mr. Davis removed a wage garnishment (based
on guesstimated tax information) and instructed to get the information she
required to file her 2004 and 2005 tax returns.
Leonard Cohen willfully refuses to provide Lynch with IRS required tax
and corporate information (1099 and K-1s) for the years 2004 and 2005. Lynch did not flee to New Jersey. She was invited to New Jersey and assisted
some family friends with their business.
Lynch did speak with at least two attorneys who represent her family
friends. One was the former Attorney
General of New Jersey. That individual
absolutely advised Lynch to wait until she was able to speak with Bruce
Cutler. Lynch has never stated that
Bruce Cutler will represent her. She has
now personally heard from Phil Spector with respect to the situation involving
Cutler. Stephen Gianelli is desperately
attempting to elicit information about Phil Spector while infiltrating his
legal team.
Cohen’s September 23, 2011 email to Lynch was his
response to her request for IRS required tax and corporate information. He saw Lynch’s son copied on her emails. Lynch’s sons have been relentlessly targeted
over this situation.

BY 2009
LYNCH WAS BACK IN THE BOULDER COLORADO AREA, continuing to send out harassing
emails that were being evaluated by the Boulder District Attorney for illegal
harassment in violation of the Colorado protective order. Lynch met a couple in
their 20’s while working a on a road crew and began living in the spare bedroom
of their rented condominium in Louisville. On the eve of Lynch’s indictment by
the Boulder authorities for violating the 2008 protection order, Lynch was
asked questions by the young couple she was residing with about her criminal
record. Fearful of being arrested again by Colorado authorities Lynch publicly
denounced her roommates on a discussion board following a Cohen concert review
published by the Hartford Courant that Lynch had hijacked to trash Cohen,
called the police to report them for drug possession, and fled to the Houston,
Texas area where Lynch’s mother and sister had relocated following Lynch’s
firing by Cohen in 2004.
Lynch has no idea about the Boulder
District Attorney evaluating anything related to her and Cohen’s restraining
order in 2009 particularly as Cohen testified that Lynch did not contact him
until September 20 or 21, 2011. Lynch
will ask the federal court, in her RICO suit against Cohen, to issue a subpoena
for this information. In the meantime,
she will file a FOIA request with the Boulder, Colorado District Attorney with
respect to this information. Lynch has
no idea if the Boulder DA was on the verge of indicting her over a fraudulent
restraining order issued without findings.
Lynch didn’t meet a young couple on a “road crew.” She met a young couple through an employment
agency in Colorado. Lynch stayed with a
young couple for a week. She paid them
for that week while finalizing arrangements with respect to a room she had
rented. The woman’s mother was involved
in a custody matter related to the woman’s daughter. The mother had asked CPS to interview this
woman. The Louisville Police Department,
on their own, arrived at the apartment one morning when Lynch was moving into a
room she had previously rented. They
advised the couple that they were doing a welfare check with respect to the
man’s five year old son. One issue the
police were concerned about were fentanyl patches being left around the
child. This issue didn’t really involve
Lynch. It involved the couple, her
mother, Louisville Police Department, and Child Services. Lynch confirmed for the police that she
didn’t contact Child Services about anything as she was aware that they were
scheduled to visit that Sunday. The
police then waited while Lynch, who had previously scheduled a cab, removed her
items and took the cab to her new dwelling place. It seems that Gianelli contacted the
couple. The couple never questioned me
about any of this. They were concerned
about Child Services. Lynch wasn’t
fearful of being “arrested” and people seem to underestimate her. Lynch contacted the Hartford Courant’s legal
department about the slanderous statements, being repeated by Gianelli and
others, on their site and they pulled the site down. Lynch didn’t flee to Houston. She was invited to travel to Houston with an
acquaintance. Lynch’s parents and sister
to not live in Houston. They live near
Dallas. Lynch’s sister did not relocate
to Texas after Cohen and Lynch parted ways.
She moved there years earlier and did her master’s degree at Texas
A&M. She met her husband there and
they decided to stay in Texas. Every
word in this article is a lie.
IN ROUTE
TO HOUSTON, LYNCH MET ANOTHER YOUNG COUPLE on the road with whom she shared a
motel room in Katy, Texas, the female half of which Lynch blogged was
“brilliant” and a “descendant of Oliver Wendell Holms”. Lynch quoted the couple
as “understanding Cohen’s conspiracy” against her. Lynch then traveled to
Flower Mound Texas, where her sister Karen Lynch owned a high-tech business
known as Software Solutions with her husband David McCourt – whom Lynch also
frequently quoted in numerous mass emails accusing Cohen and others of federal
crimes as agreeing with her conspiracy theories. Both Karen and Lynch’s mother
Joan (who also resided in the area) refused to take Lynch in, and she traveled
on to Houston, where Lynch started living on the streets.
Lynch did not meet a couple on the
“road” to Houston and she never stayed in a motel room in Katy, Texas. Lynch wasn’t with a couple so didn’t quote
them. Lynch didn’t travel to Flower
Mound but Gianelli did relentlessly harass Lynch’s sister and
brother-in-law. This criminal actually phoned
and emailed her elderly parents in an attempt to intimidate them. Karen and David McCourt’s attorney, Jim
Walker, advised Gianelli to cease and desist but he refused. Others have advised him to cease and desist
but he refuses. Still others have filed
complaints with law enforcement about Gianelli’s conduct. Lynch’s sister and mother never refused to
take Lynch in and none of this happened.
Lynch never lived on the streets in Houston, Texas.
IN
HOUSTON LYNCH FOUND SPACE IN A HOMELESS SHELTER KNOWN AS THE STAR OF HOPE where
she slept at night. By day, she continued sending out her hateful, harassing
mass-emails and blog posts from the a branch of the Houston Public Library
located at the Children’s Museum of Houston. After a few months Lynch’s son
Rutger, afraid that she might be raped or assaulted in the homeless shelter,
agreed to allow Lynch to move into his Los Angeles area apartment near where
Rutger worked in information technology for the large architectural firm HOK.
The Star of Hope agreed to fund Lynch’s bus ticket so that she could be
relocated out of Texas.
Lynch did stay at a homeless mission
known as the Star of Hope. She didn’t
send out hateful, harassing emails. She
continued to document what was unfolding for IRS, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, and
others. At no time did Lynch’s son
express concern that she might be “raped or assaulted” at the Star of
Hope. Lynch’s son invited her to visit. However, Gianelli doesn’t know Lynch or her
son and would have no idea what actually transpired.
EVERYONE
ON LYNCH’S EMAILS DISTRIBUTION LIST was immediately aware of Lynch’s planned
return to Los Angeles due to her charming habit of copying in all of us (IRS
included) on her emailed personal correspondence to her family members,
including her emails to Rutger. Once Lynch was ensconced in Rutger’s Los
Angeles apartment and gained ready access to a WiFi connection, computer
equipment, and alcohol, Lynch’s daily harassing emails grew even more vile and
bizarre. This was particularly true after 10:00 at night, when she would rant
at everyone who annoyed her, suggesting that she wanted to “dry-hump” Los
Angeles Assistant District Attorney Pat Dixon, wanted to “watch Phil Spector
prosecutor Alan Jackson burn”, that Leonard Cohen “should be taken down and shot,”
and Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley “assassinated”.
Stephen Gianelli has no idea what
everyone on Lynch’s emails was aware of.
He doesn’t know the parties copied on Lynch’s emails. That would include, but is not limited to,
Ron Burkle or Dennis Riordan. Gianelli
is aware that IRS is copied in. Lynch’s
prosecutor informed the jurors that IRS, FBI, and Agent Sopko were copied on
Lynch’s emails. She nevertheless
attempted to sabotage the IRS, discredit Lynch, and elicit information about
Phil Spector and a gun. Gianelli seems
to believe that if he has someone’s contact information he is permitted to
criminally harass them. Lynch didn’t
gain access to alcohol. This is just
ongoing slander which Lynch does not believe Cohen will be able to use to
defend himself with respect to the allegations she will be raising in her
federal RICO suit and elsewhere. Lynch
never suggested that she wanted to “dry hump” Pat Dixon. This was addressed in her letter to former
DDA Alan Jackson. Lynch said that Eminem’s song “Puke” reminds her of Pat
Dixon. Eminem is the individual whose
lyric addresses “dry humping” and that apparently related to Mariah Carey. Please see link to Eminem’s “Puke.” Lynch also quoted Eminem’s song “Love the Way
You Lie” with respect to Alan Jackson.
It reminds her of Jackson. “Just
gonna stand there and watch me burn” is a line from that song.” Gianelli evidently has information that Dixon
and Jackson fear for their lives over Eminem’s lyrics. Lynch has never said that Cooley should be
assassinated and explained her letters re. Cooley and the parody email she
sent. Lynch’s parody related to the
ACLU’s position that Cooley was out of line in his desire to have people
“executed” using a drug that is used to put dogs down with. Lynch also referred to California’s Penal
Code and the willful use of perjury to obtain a death sentence. Nevertheless, Lynch does not believe a
reasonable individual would conclude that she was President of the United
States and asked her Attorney General to prosecute Cooley over the Spector case
and seek the death penalty. Nor does she
believe a reasonable individual would conclude that she appointed the directors
of the FBI and CIA. The City Attorney
and District Attorney of Los Angeles use false threat scams to target innocent
people. Lynch has witnessed this
repeatedly and that now includes with respect to her example (drone Valentine
card) sent to FBI and DOJ. Streeter was
only mentioned in the context of the P.S. to those agencies.
IT WAS
DURING THIS TIME PERIOD THAT LYNCH BECAME INTERESTED in Phil Spector’s murder
prosecution. Although Lynch professed to be Spector’s “dear friend”, she failed
to attend a single day of either of the music producer’s trials – even though
Spector and his wife were appealing through the media for friends and fans to
attend the trial to show support. But during the defense phase of Spector’s
retrial (following a hung jury) Lynch, who believed that Spector would soon be
free, hatched a hair brained plan to basically use Spector as her new meal
ticket. She publicly announced that she hoped to persuade Spector to “lend”
Lynch his “legal team” to sue the LAPD (for “kidnapping” her) and Leonard
Cohen, for allegedly conspiring with Spector’s prosecutors.
Actually, Lynch didn’t follow Phil
Spector’s first trial. After hearing
about the incident at Phil Spector’s home, Lynch sent Mr. Spector a card
informing him that she believed he was innocent. In response, Phil Spector asked Lynch to have
dinner with him. They communicated
extensively during this period in time.
Leonard Cohen was aware that Lynch had dinner with Spector after the
Clarkson incident. Lynch is convinced
that Leonard Cohen is somehow related to the “anonymous tip” placed to the
District Attorney’s office about her friendship with Spector. Lynch was interested in the charges because
she is convinced Phil Spector is innocent.
Lynch was present at the Carlyle Hotel when one of the so-called prior
bad act incidents occurred. Phil Spector
did not have a gun at the hotel and the incident did not occur as the
prosecution presented those “facts” during the Spector trial. The individual involved with this incident
also spoke to Paulette Brandt and never mentioned a gun. Another witness testified that she worked as
Spector’s personal assistant in 1988 and 1989 when in fact Lynch did. Leonard Cohen informed Lynch for
approximately 20 years that his highly embellished stories about Spector and a
gun were nothing other than good rock ‘n roll stories. He informed her that he advised Los Angeles
Sheriff’s Department that Phil Spector never held a gun on him. Lynch learned otherwise during her 2012
trial. Cohen now has three versions of
his highly fabricated good rock ‘n roll story about Spector before LA Superior
Court. He failed to mention this
incident in his first major interview following his work with Spector. This is merely a story Cohen used to advance
his career and due to the fact that every journalist who interviewed him wanted
to know what it was like to work with Phil Spector. Please refer to the interview which can be
viewed at the following link. Phil
Spector didn’t have armed “bodyguards” at that time. He had one bodyguard, George Brand, who had
been a U.S. Marshal and permitted to carry a gun. Phil Spector was routinely mobbed in public
and required serious security personnel.
His dear friend, John Lennon, was actually shot and murdered. Many artists are mobbed in public and
targeted by gold diggers and groupies.
This is a well known fact. Any
woman who plays with guns while high on vicodin after drinking 8 glasses of
tequila has placed herself and others in serious harm’s way.
Lynch did have dinner with Spector
after the incident and he advised her that Clarkson, who was 6’ and 160 pounds,
was dancing around with the gun in his foyer singing “Da Doo Run Run” and for
no apparent reason shot herself. Spector
and Lynch also discussed what happened when the police arrived. He invited them in and ended up tasered
numerous times. His driver, who did not
speak or understand English properly, informed the police that “he” personally
felt Spector may have “killed” someone.
The man wasn’t present for the incident.
He was in this country illegally, had perjured himself on at least four
occasions with immigration, and the jurors did not believe him. For some reason, he was awarded a green card
over this situation. It seems highly
relevant and material that, according to Baby Doll Gibson, Lana Clarkson was a
prostitute. . The judge refused to permit Baby Doll Gibson,
her madam, to testify unless Phil Spector took the stand and testified which
sounds like a blatant violation of his 5th Amendment rights. Other evidence related to the very real
possibility that she played sex games with guns was concealed from the jurors.
Phil Spector confirmed for Paulette
Brandt that Clarkson told Spector “This is what I can do to your cock.” No, Lynch did not attend one day of the trial
and would not if her life depended on it.
That has nothing whatsoever to do with her feelings for Spector. She would not be able to sit through the
unconscionable lies being presented to the jurors and news media about Mr.
Spector. Paulette Brandt did attend one
day of the trial and felt the court itself was “dirty.” She could hardly tolerate what she heard;
gave an interview to Court TV; and joined Phil Spector for lunch with his
attorneys where she was introduced by him as one of the most “important” people
in his life. Lynch doesn’t view Phil
Spector as a meal ticket. She views him
as a victim and someone who has been railroaded, demonized, victimized, and
tortured. Lynch never publicly alleged
that she wanted Spector to “lend” his legal team to her. She has publicly stated that she believes
Phil Spector should join her, and others, in a major lawsuit against the
parties who falsely charged and prosecuted him over Clarkson’s suicide and targeted
her. What Phil Spector advised Lynch
happened is precisely what the forensic science concluded. It calls into question why charges were ever
brought. The prosecution’s theory that
Spector had to hold a gun on women for sex, including a woman who was probably
a prostitute who played sex games with guns, is obscene. He was in a very serious relationship with
Nancy Sinatra who adored him.
THE
LYNCHPIN OF LYNCH’S PLAN WAS TO PERSUADE SPECTOR that Cohen was responsible for
his murder prosecution because (Lynch claimed) Cohen allegedly testified
falsely to Spector’s criminal grand jury about Spector pulling a gun on Cohen
years before during a recording session. Lynch laid all of this out in great
detail in her “Phil Spector and Kelley Lynch Blog” that she launched in 2009,
and that was later removed by Google for terms-of-use violations. The
fundamental flaw in Lynch’s plan was that Leonard Cohen never testified before
Phil Spector’s criminal grand jury, let alone falsely, or at either murder
trial. Undaunted, Lynch became obsessed with “joining forces with Phil Spector”
to sue the County of Los Angeles and Leonard Cohen, whom she asserted conspired
together with her former partner Steven Lindsey and many others to “ruin my
life”.
Lynch had no plan to “persuade
Spector that Cohen was responsible for his murder prosecution.” This is blatantly false, absurd, and farcical. Lynch has said that Cohen’s bullshit gun
stories about Spector are repeated in every article about the two of them. Those bullshit gun stories have gone a long
way toward demonizing Phil Spector while advancing Leonard Cohen’s career. Lynch doesn’t believe any of Cohen’s bullshit
gun stories about Spector including those that involve a bottle of wine or
crossbow. Lynch would not have to
persuade Spector about anything with respect to Cohen because he cannot stand
the man; refused to work with Cohen while mixing their joint album project;
used to send Lynch faxes joking about Cohen’s relationship with taxes; was
evidently ripped off by Cohen (and personally had Lynch phone Sony about this
issue years ago); and understands all too well that Cohen has relentlessly lied
about him in an attempt to advance his own career. Leonard Cohen now has three versions of his
highly embellished good rock ‘n roll story before LA Superior Court. Lynch has no idea which version local LA
government officials believe. His
testimony contradicts the version used by the Spector prosecutors in their
motions in the Spector case. Mick Brown,
UK Telegraph, reviewed the Grand Jury transcript and confirmed that Cohen’s
statements or testimony was presented to the Grand Jury. One can safely assume the prosecutors used
the version they raised in their motions.
Leonard Cohen told Lynch for approximately 20 years that Spector never
held a gun on him. Therefore, if Leonard
Cohen’s testimony or statements were presented to the Grand Jury, they are lies
and perjured. Stephen Gianelli and
Michelle Blaine, who stole nearly $1 million from Spector and who is the female
Leonard Cohen (a bald faced liar and thief who went on a rampage slandering Mr.
Spector), targeted Lynch’s blogs. The
two of them were posting on one another’s blogs with Sprocket, the mouthpiece
for Clarkson’s mother. Gianelli has
argued Spector prosecution theories online and lied publicly on Truth Sentinel
when he stated that Clarkson’s DNA was not on the ammunition and the gun was
Spector’s. These are Spector prosecution
theories. Spector’s appellate documents
confirm that Clarkson’s DNA was on the ammunition and Bruce Cutler confirmed
that the gun was not Spector’s. Bill
Pavelic, an investigator on that case who interests Gianelli, advised Lynch
that Jay Romaine (Spector’s former bodyguard who worked for LAPD in kidnapping)
could have helped prove that the gun was not Spector’s. Lynch’s blog was targeted by these individuals
and had nothing whatsoever to do with Google’s terms of use. Using this logic, Gianelli’s own blog
(Blogonaut Law Blog) would have been shut down due to his relentlessly
slanderous and defamatory articles and comments about Lynch. Please refer to the Spector prosecution’s
motion with respect to the “1977 brandishing” on Leonard Cohen. This information was indeed used during the
murder trial and if Mick Brown was correct, and there is no reason for him to
lie, these statements or the testimony was presented to the Grand Jury. It’s fairly obvious that Cohen and former DA
Steve Cooley were engaged in a plan to target and discredit Lynch that also
extends to the City Attorney of Los Angeles and others. Steve Lindsey destroyed his son’s life over
this situation and absolutely coordinated a custody matter submitting
Cohen/Kory’s declaration (that reads more like a business document) to the
Court. LA Superior Court destroys lives
based on fabricated narratives, hearsay, perjury, and fraud.
BY APRIL
OF 2010, LYNCH WAS EMPLOYED BY A SANTA MONICA PARALEGAL SERVICE owned by Jim
Goudezari. It was then that Lynch emailed us to advise that she was now
“represented by Jim Goudezari” and would be “filing a motion to vacate Cohen’s
fraud judgment” against her “by the end of the month”. Lynch elaborated that
she “was never served” with Cohen’s lawsuit, asserted that the $7M judgment was
unsupported by any evidence, and that the Judge who issued the 2006 judgment,
the Hon. Kenneth Freeman, was “corrupt” and “star struck” by Cohen, and that
the judgement was “fraudulently issued”. Intrigued by these claims we downloaded
copies of Cohen’s Complaint, the Proof of Service, and the supporting
Declarations of Leonard Cohen and forensic accountant Kevin L. Prins, all of
which documentation we reviewed and posted on line. Our conclusion: Not only
was there no evidence of fraud or judicial corruption, but the amount of the
judgment – which included an award of prejudgment interest – was amply
supported by the submitted evidence. Indeed, far from acting as a rubber stamp
in an effort to pander to a celebrity plaintiff, the court record revealed that
Judge Freeman REDUCED Cohen’s damage request by $1M. We also learned that there
was no licensed attorney named Jim or James Goudezari in the State of
California. Nor did Kelley Lynch file a “motion to vacate” the $7M judgment by
the end of that month or at all in 2010. Nor did Lynch sue us for “libel by the
end of the month”, by the end of the year, or at any time – as she threatened
to do when we posted our conclusions on our former law blog. Indeed, Lynch had
been writing in mass emails since 2009 that she had no intention of asking the
court to set Cohen's default judgment aside because she viewed it as evidence
of Cohen's "theft" from her. By 2013 tough, Lynch would come to
realize that the multi-million dollar award stood in the way of not only
realizing he longstanding dream of vanquishing Cohen in a court of law but
would also prevent Lynch from realizing any profit from a tell-all book deal or
even inheriting any portion of the estate of her elderly parents.
Lynch was not hired by a paralegal
service in Santa Monica. Lynch was
informed by Jim Goudarzi that he had a paralegal firm where lawyers would come
in on a weekly basis to review the work being done. No lawyers came in and Lynch went to
extraordinary lengths to have the lawyers generally involved with Goudarzi
provide her with legal templates and confirm that her work was well done. Goudarzi was completely satisfied with her
work. He hired Lynch as a partner and
signed a partnership document that he then proceded to breach. This is all documented for IRS, FBI, and
DOJ. That would include, but is not
limited to, the situation that relates to the Secret Service’s investigation
into the Concerto Brothers, money laundering, the Iranian regime, and hotels in
Los Vegas. While working for Goudarzi,
Lynch spoke to an attorney who advised her to file a motion to vacate Cohen’s
fraud judgment. He advised Lynch to
address Cohen’s perjury in her declaration and noted that judges do not like it
when attorneys bring perjury to their attention. Lynch has no idea if Judge Ken Freeman is
star struck or corrupt. She doesn’t know
the man. She knows that many attorneys
have advised her that the judgment is illegal; she knows that a legitimate
default judgment does not involve theft of corporate property; she knows that a
legitimate default judgment is not based entirely on fraud and perjury; and she
knows that a judge in the Bay Area asked if Ken Freeman was an elderly judge
whose clerk simply placed an illegal judgment in front of him to sign that
wrongfully inserted corporations into the default when they were not named as
parties to the lawsuit. At some point in
April 2010, Gianelli posted a handful of Cohen’s legal documents online. There is evidence of fraud with respect to
the default judgment but Gianelli is representing Leonard Cohen’s legal
interests and defending him. Lynch has
no idea why Freeman would reduce Cohen’s damage request. She has absolutely no information about that
other than a Billboard article that publicly stated Cohen received a $9.5
million judgment against Lynch. That
would mean Freeman reduced the judgment by approximately $4.5 million. That issue also demands an investigation by
IRS, FBI, and DOJ. No one ever said,
other than Jim Goudarzi, that he was a licensed attorney. Shortly after reading
the outrageous allegations in Cohen’s Complaint, and addressing them with IRS
and others, Lynch relocated to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She did not return to Los Angeles until June
2013 at which time she diligently moved to vacate Cohen’s fraudulently obtained
judgment. The judgment is evidence of
theft and Machat, an attorney and accountant, advised Lynch to sue Cohen for
theft. Other attorneys have as
well. That can be confirmed in the
transcript of Lynch and Machat’s conversation.
Gianelli, on Cohen’s behalf, continuously threatens Lynch over the fraud
judgment vis a vis a potential book deal and her elderly parents so-called
estate. If Cohen wants to target Lynch
over her book, she’ll make it available online for free. She refuses to be silenced regardless of the
deranged lengths Cohen, his lawyers, and operatives have gone to target and
discredit her. Cohen intentionally
bankrupted Lynch. He has withheld
commissions due and stolen from her.
Leonard Cohen has destroyed Lynch’s reputation and lies extensively
about her in court and through the news media.
It is obviously Cohen’s goal to keep Lynch in a position where she is
unable to properly confront his legal insanity.
This is one of the reasons that Paulette Brandt has been relentlessly
targeted by Gianelli and Cohen’s fan, Susanne Walsh.
AS IT
TURNS OUT, JIM GOUDEZARI FELT SORRY FOR LYNCH AND GAVE HER A JOB, but quickly
realized that Lynch was not qualified as a paralegal and could not pull her
weight. In a 2010 email, Goudezari told us that when Lynch confided she had no
money to buy food, that he would often buy her lunch. But when it became clear
that Lynch was incapable of doing the work, and Goudezari asked Lynch to leave,
Lynch started sending out mass emails accusing her employer of “tax fraud”,
“money laundering”, “illegal arms deals with Iranian nationals” and of being a
“terrorist” – cc to Goudazri’s family, ex-wife, the IRS and the FBI. Goudezari
told us in a 2010 email that he had to call the police to get Lynch to vacate
his business premises after she was fired.
Goudarzi did not feel sorry for
Lynch. Lynch is qualified as a paralegal
and grandfathered in as a paralegal in California. She worked as Machat & Machat’s legal
assistant for years and they were members of the California bar and did
business in California. That’s why they
represented Phil Spector. It makes no
sense that Lynch wouldn’t have money when Goudarzi hired her as a
paralegal. She didn’t have rent to pay
or any other expenses. Lynch resigned
and Goudarzi did not phone the police.
Goudarzi never bought Lynch lunch.
His brother-in-laws owned a restaurant and Goudarzi had an account. As he owed Lynch money, he told her to charge
it to the restaurant. His in-laws
confirmed this matter with him. Lynch
was rather disturbed when Goudarzi handed her a contract between his client and
the Iranian government that referred to the United States as the Great
Satan. In fact, Lynch phoned the State
Department, spoke to someone there, and he confirmed that any deal between Iran
and a U.S. citizen was illegal. Jim
Goudarzi is the individual who accused his former partners of engaging in tax
fraud – not Lynch. She took notes of all
their conversations, emailed them to Goudarzi to confirm and wrote a Complaint
based on the narrative he provided. Goudarzi
asked Lynch to report his former partners to IRS re. tax fraud. Lynch refused because she felt that was his
job. Lynch did not cc any emails to
Goudarzi’s family or ex-wife. Lynch
resigned and walked out of the office when Goudarzi was not there. Lynch did document everything for IRS and
FBI. In fact, she heard from FBI about
the situation. The information, which
has been redacted, was included in this email from FBI. In any event, Lynch was not fired. She resigned.

IT ALSO
TURNS OUT THAT GOUDEZARI WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS FED UP with Lynch’s antics.
During this period Lynch copied us with an email string that included a message
from her son Rutger (who had taken her into his apartment after she left the
Star of Hope) that “all you are good for is drinking and shouting”. In
addition, Kelley Lynch had harsh words for Rutger when he questioned her email
activities, her alcohol abuse, and Lynch’s continued obsession with Leonard
Cohen. Responding to Lynch’s plea for additional financial assistance, Rutger
responded with a 2010 email (also copied to us by Lynch) stating “I told you
that I am done with you”. Three years later, Rutger would explain in an email
dated June 7, 2013, to Kelley Lynch’s then landlord Raymond “Ray” Lawrence who
had not been paid for 9-months: "Kelley Lynch has said some very nasty
things to all of us, even my fiancé. I am done helping her and I believe the
rest of the family is as well. You might think we are horrible for not helping
her but I don't really think you have any clue what we have been through in the
last 8 years, especially me. I would advise that you have her arrested
immediately before things get worse than they already are."
Lynch has no obsession with Leonard
Cohen. This is merely his narcissistic
revenge fantasy. Stephen Gianelli, who
does not know Lynch or her son, attempted to insert himself into Rutger’s Whole
Foods matter with the full awareness that he was represented by an attorney. Rutger was not fed up with Lynch and his
declaration speaks for itself. Gianelli
does not speak for Lynch’s son who he criminally harassed for over six straight
years. Rutger has never questioned
Lynch’s “alcohol abuse” because it doesn’t exist. Rutger didn’t announce that he was moving to
get rid of his mother. His lease was up,
he planned to move, and Lynch was only visiting temporarily. Douglas Penick had nothing to do with Eric
Salter’s invitation to visit him. Lynch
and Salter are old friends. Lynch did
not take a bus but rather flew to Ft. Lauderdale. Lynch worked with Eric Salter, on his
business matters, while in Ft. Lauderdale.
She was offered a temporary position with IMF until “Beverly” discovered
Stephen Gianelli’s blog. She personally
informed Lynch that her emails to IRS were of concern to her. Lynch has known Rachel Faro since she was a
teenager and did speak with Les Zigel about the situation. Lynch has the emails that Zigel personally
sent her.
Please review Rutger Penick’s
declaration very carefully with respect to this situation, what he has
witnessed, and Gianelli’s criminal harassment.
Rutger publicly stated that he views Gianelli and Walsh as “fruit cakes”
who appear to stay up nights making up lies about his mother.
IN NO
TIME, LYNCH STARTED SENDING OUT MASS EMAILS stating that she had received
“legal advice” from “Les” to the effect that Leonard Cohen owed her millions
and that those she viewed as enemies (including the author of this post) were
allegedly “criminals who belonged in jail”. Lynch went so far as to publicly
claim in mass emails that “Les” specifically advised her to report named
persons to the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department. (“Les” was still sending out
emails for months afterwards disclaiming any attorney-client relationship, or
other association with Kelley Lynch.)
Lynch and Zigel never worked together
and therefore Lynch never advised anyone that there was an attorney-client
relationship. What Lynch and Zigel
actually discussed is none of Gianelli’s business. However, Les Zigel did advise Lynch to
contact law enforcement with respect to the ongoing criminal harassment. At that time, Lynch and Eric Salter contacted
Ft. Lauderdale Police Department and filed a complaint about Gianelli. Lynch has all emails Zigel privately sent her
and will submit them to federal court
IN
ADDITION, PARTLY BECAUSE LYNCH ASSUMED THAT ANYONE HEARING HER TALE OF WOE at
the hands of Leonard Cohen and other alleged co-conspirators would sympathize,
it did not take long for IMA Yachts to find out that Lynch had suffered an
unpaid $7M embezzlement based judgment or that the victim was a former employer
or to conclude that keeping this woman on its payroll as a bookkeeper,
notwithstanding the millions of dollars in client funds reposing in its trust
accounts, might not be the best strategy for developing client trust – to say
nothing of potential liability issues. So, with apologies, Eric Salter’s friend
“Beverly” was required to inform Lynch that her services at IMA were no longer
required.
Gianelli must have been intent upon
informing “Beverly” about Cohen’s fraudulent default judgment while slandering
Lynch. Lynch was not hired as a
bookkeeper. The position was a very
temporary position. Actually, “Beverly”
came over to Eric Salter’s quite drunk and unhinged ranting about Gianelli and
Lynch’s emails to IRS. Leonard Cohen,
his lawyers, and operatives have done their best to ensure that Lynch’s
attempts to find work are inconceivably difficult. After Cohen willfully bankrupted Lynch, this
appears to be an ongoing part of his plan.
Leonard Cohen is an absolutely vindictive and vengeful human being. Lynch happens to know Leonard Cohen.
LYNCH’S
RESPONSE WAS SWIFT AND PREDICTABLE. Within minutes of the initial 11:00AM email
addressed to Rutger Penick arriving in our inbox, subject line “I’ve been
fired, Honey,” Lynch lit into Beverly with a vicious onslaught of angry (and
apparently intoxicated, grammatically incorrect emails riddled with spelling
errors), and copied to scores of others including the owners of IMA Yachts,
some of their clients, the news media, the IRS, and many others – calling
Beverly a “fag-hag”, a “drunk”, a “drug addict”, and accusing Beverly of “tax
fraud”. Beverly thus became Lynch's third former employer to be accused by
Lynch of tax fraud in emails to the IRS.
Lynch didn’t accuse Beverly of
engaging in “tax fraud.” The situation
was documented for IRS, FBI, and DOJ.
Eric Salter referred to Beverly and some of his other female friends as
“fag hags.” He’s gay. Beverly attended a dinner party and fell off
her chair drunk in front of approximately 10 people. Lynch has no idea if Beverly has issues with
drugs although Beverly told her that she did at one point. Lynch could care less about “Beverly.”
RUN OUT
OF FT. LAUDERDALE ON A RAIL, and having burned every connection that her
ex-husband Douglas Penick set her up with – including Eric Salter – Lynch found
herself on a Greyhound Bus bound for Berkeley, California where Lynch rented a
room and found a job as a paid signature gatherer. Two events contributed to
Lynch’s leaving Berkeley: First, when the Franchise Tax Board started
garnishing her wages, Lynch immediately blamed Cohen, and resumed her email
harassment of her former employer, in violation of the Colorado protection
order, which in May of 2011 was registered in California. Second, Lynch showed
up back at the office of her employer one afternoon smelling of alcohol, and
was summarily fired for drinking on the job.
Kelley Lynch was not run out of Ft.
Lauderdale. She ultimately chose to
leave and decided to relocate to Berkeley, California. She was only visiting
Eric Salter temporarily in any event.
Salter filed a complaint with the Ft. Lauderdale Police Department about
Gianelli’s harassment of him. Lynch flew
to Berkeley. She never gathered
signatures for anyone. She worked on
ACLU and Southern Poverty Law Campaigns.
Lynch didn’t leave Berkeley because FTB garnished her wages based on
guesstimates of income related to her 2003 returns. Lynch didn’t blame Cohen. She requested the IRS required tax and
corporate information that he steadfastly refuses to provide her. The FTB had nothing to do with Lynch leaving
Berkeley. FTB removed the wage
garnishment. Lynch didn’t harass Leonard
Cohen. Furthermore, Boulder Combined
Court advised Lynch and others that the permanent order expired on February 15,
2009. Lynch has yet to see one court
take responsibility for their own actions.
Lynch didn’t show up anywhere smelling of alcohol and was not summarily
fired. She and Ross Oviatt had one beer
after work. They returned early to
Berkeley due to lack of traffic and hadn’t taken a break. They weren’t advised of any alcohol policies
and people, including the executives, frequently drank before meetings and
throughout the day on the job. Others
consumed illicit drugs on the job. That
was evidently acceptable with GCI. This
is what Ross Oviatt had to say about the situation.

I am writing this statement to corroborate and give credence to
Kelley Lynch's claims for unemployment as a result of wrongful
termination. I declare the following information to be a truthful and accurate
account of the events leading up to and surrounding our termination from
Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. I worked with Kelley as a field manager for the
company from June 2011 through January 2012. Kelley and I were among the top
earners for campaigns ranging from the ACLU to Amnesty international, and had
considerable influence in keeping office morale up, and in creating a culture
of social cohesiveness between employees. Kelley dutifully performed her
job above and beyond expectations, enduring enormous amounts of physical and
psychological stress in pursuit of an altruistic solution to the
socio-political problems plaguing our society. I know her to be a person of
outstanding integrity, whose conduct stems from both virtue and scruple. The
events leading up to and surrounding the termination were as follows:
Kelley and I spent the day fundraising in pleasant hill, which proved to be an extremely demoralizing experience for both of us. After having homophobic epithets and vociferous, myopic rhetoric hurled at us, we left "turf" in a state of apprehension and despondency. Also a pressing issue in the matter was that our wages were contingent on funds raised that were averaged against the office average. A poor day such as the one we had could have drastic fiscal impacts in the personal lives of GCI employees.
Upon returning to Berkeley early as a result of low traffic conditions, we noted that we had failed to take our break amidst our frenzied attempts to perform well in a highly hostile environment. We decided that since we had the time to spare, we would sit down for some food. Kelley proceeded to drink ONE beer, which we had never been instructed was against policy and figured was acceptable because we were no longer in uniform, had finished canvassing for the day, and were entitled legally to a 10 minute break. Shortly thereafter, we entered the office to debrief and do our cash-out. After discerning that an alcoholic beverage had been consumed, Tyler instructed Kelley and I that we were to be placed on temporary suspension through tuesday, whereupon we would be allowed to come back to work. After Tyler conferred with his superior, Dan Doubet, we were then told to come in on tuesday afternoon, where we were taken aback at the revelation that we were being laid off; the news came as a complete shock to the both of us.
I would also like to testify to the horrid working conditions we were placed under and my certain inference that Kelley and I were seen as liabilities to the company- Simply put, we were seen as obstacles in the path of the company's unbridled corporate malfeasance. Myself and several other employees faced relentless sexual and verbal harassment from one Tomas Moreno, our superior, and only after months and months of pleas that fell largely on Doubet's deaf ears did they take any steps whatsoever to resolve the situation. Kelley took the initiative and showed great concern in encouraging me to speak out about the abhorrent behavior we were subjected to in the office. Her encouragement and counsel were instrumental in combating the grievous abuse that was taking place, and Dan Doubet was well aware of the ramifications of the entire situation. I was frequently bombarded with homophobic sentiment from this director, was harshly criticized, emotionally belittled and constantly forced to weather a slew of vitriolic language. After noting to the management that these were severely unacceptable working conditions and that performance was being affected drastically, Dan Doubet reluctantly agreed to address the issue and terminate the offender's employment with the company. That is where my status as a liability for the company comes in- notwithstanding the fact that my car was put out of commission by the relentless travel to destinations up to 80 miles away, for which i never received adequate compensation
Kelley was seen as a liability as well, as a direct result of an incident involving her health on turf in Montclair. After enduring harsh weather conditions and the psychological stress created by GCI, Kelley collapsed as a direct result of dehydration and sun stroke. Having been forced to stand in intense sunlight with no shade for the majority of the day, she was taken to a nearby emergency room- thus creating a potential problem for the company from a legal perspective. GCI has a long history of employee abuse and routinely takes advantage of philanthropic, altrustic individuals. We were paid based on an incredulous and unfair commissions scale against the office average, and even top performers were living hand to mouth throughout the duration of my employment there.
I firmly believe that it was a fortuitous time for the management to rid themselves of two people whom they saw as potential liabilities to the company. Kelley is an upstanding woman who is most certainly entitled to unemployment benefits given the extenuating circumstances of the situation.
signed, Ross Oviatt
LYNCH
PROCEEDED TO SEND THOUSANDS OF VILE, OBSCENE, THREATENING AND ACCUSATORY EMAILS
TO COHEN as well as leaving Cohen scores of similar disturbing voice messages
on his home telephone. Lynch’s speech in many of the voicemail recordings was
slurred and Lynch’s public defender would later admit to a jury that Lynch “was
not entirely sober” when she left some of the messages. When Cohen attorney
Michelle Rice emailed Lynch to advise that the Colorado order had been
registered in California, Lynch unleashed an onslaught of 80-emailed replies to
Rice, and doubled down on her harassment of Cohen. Lynch (falsely) accused
Cohen in the communications of “molesting” his daughter, of being responsible
for the traumatic amputation of her son’s fingers in an industrial accident, of
being responsible for Phil Spector’s murder conviction and “tax fraud”, and
also stated that Cohen “should be taken down and shot”. Lynch also berated the
performer’s penis size, copied Cohen with emails (falsely) accusing the author
of this post of being a pedophile, and also copied Cohen with an email
advocating for the murder of Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley.
Lynch didn’t send Cohen thousands of
vile and obscene emails. She didn’t
threaten Cohen. He merely conjured up
another bullshit, carefully crafted statement that he felt Lynch (while he was
in Europe evidently) might drive by his house and this caused Cohen “fear.” Cohen simply made up statements throughout
her trial that were preposterous, absurd, not supported by the evidence, and
blatantly false. Leonard Cohen’s
obsession with Lynch is deranged. Lynch
did not “admit” anything to a jury. She
testified that if Cohen said she was slurring her speech that it must be
true. Of course, Cohen worked with a
sound engineer on the tapes and can be heard speaking over Lynch. The tapes are altered and tampered with. Lynch’s comment was facetious and disturbed
her alleged prosecutor. In order to be
accurate, Lynch – who may have had a glass of wine when writing an email –
testified that she wasn’t “entirely sober.”
The prosecutor was convinced that Lynch was stone cold sober. Evidently that theory of the prosecutor’s is
now inconvenient for Stephen Gianelli and his client, Leonard Cohen. Lynch emailed Rice in an attempt to obtain
IRS required tax and corporate information.
The woman wrote back, lied to Lynch and federal authorities, that the
fraudulent Colorado order was registered in California. It was not.
She advised Lynch that she must use LA Superior Court’s discovery
process to obtain IRS required tax and corporate information. That is a blatant lie. Cohen is required to provide this information
and was required to do so well in advance of the default judgment. Cohen’s daughter accused him of molesting
her. Lynch never alleged that Cohen was
responsible for the “amputation of her son’s fingers.” That was merely perjured testimony elicited
by the City Attorney who Lynch views as positively evil. There is no evidence to support most
statements before LA Superior Court. LA
Superior Court prefers a fabricated, fraudulent narrative based on hearsay to
actual evidence. Lynch never alleged
that Cohen was responsible for Phil Spector’s conviction. There is no evidence to support that. Lynch believes, based on his own conduct,
that Cohen should be “taken down and shot.”
She means that rhetorically and has yet to meet anyone who views that
statement as a threat who doesn’t have motive.
Cohen’s own position that he wanted to die by firing squad was also used
against Lynch. After meeting with Gary
Gilmore’s brother, Cohen would fantasize about dying by firing squad. He provided Lynch with endless hours of
details about his last meal, last cigarette, and the blindfold he would wear. This is part of Leonard Cohen’s belief that
he, like Garcia Lorca, is a revolutionary.
Cohen exposed his penis to Lynch.
Normally that is considered illegal conduct but in Los Angeles, the
prosecutors believe this annoys Leonard Cohen.
Lynch was asked a question about this situation and believes she has a
right to address it. She also believes
the prosecutors in the City Attorney’s office are twisted, sadistic, sick
individuals. She knows for a fact they
are liars. Lynch did not accuse Gianelli
of being a pedophile. After he
relentlessly targeted her minor son, and lured him into communicating with him
privately, she did confirm that she views any adult stranger targeting a minor
as a potential sexual predator. The targeting of minors by strangers is
absolutely acceptable to the City Attorney of Los Angeles. Fortunately, it is not acceptable to FBI who
cautions parents about strangers targeting minors online. Lynch and her sons do not know Stephen
Gianelli. He is an obsessed, chronic
liar, and psychopath who has targeted them relentlessly. His conduct also appears to amuse him at
times. That might explain why he just
advised Lynch to tell the FBI “Merry Christmas.”
SINCE
KELLEY LYNCH NOW HAD A CALIFORNIA ADDRESS and was within reach of California
prosecutors, a Los Angles, California arrest warrant was issued, and Lynch was
arrested by Berkeley, California police in January of 2012 and Lynch was
arraigned in Los Angeles County Superior Court on multiple counts of willfully
violating the Colorado protective order as well as several counts of criminal
harassment.
Lynch was not arraigned for violating
the Colorado order. She has not seen any
arrest warrant or LAPD’s declaration supporting any such warrant. Lynch recently spoke with an attorney
affiliated with Alameda Court. He
informed her that, based on his information and the Judicial Council forms,
Cohen could not register the out-of-state Colorado order in California as a
“domestic violence order” since the Colorado order was not a “domestic violence
order.” This individual confirmed that
Cohen should have submitted his own pleading to the court addressing the
specific nature of the order he obtained in Colorado. Lynch was also informed that this order would
then have to be registered in the Bay Area prior to the City Attorney
“extraditing” Lynch. These are matters
Lynch will address before federal court in her RICO suits. Lynch has asked DOJ and Senate Judiciary to
investigate the VAWA funding fraud involved with her prosecution. Other people have gone to DOJ about the
restraining order fraud before LA Superior Court. Gianelli has attempted to infiltrate the
Coyote Shivers case by lying that Lynch asked the investigator, Mike Conzachi,
to arrest Gianelli. Lynch has never
asked Conzachi to work with her – let alone arrest anyone. This is merely a tactic Gianelli uses to
infiltrate and interfere with legal matters.
Lynch has however spoken at length to Mike Conzachi about the
restraining order terrorism and mafia in Los Angeles.
http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/government-tyranny/restraining-order-terrorism-we-have-arrived/
The City Attorney was clear at the
bail hearing that Lynch violated the fraudulent California domestic violence
order. This is on the record and Lynch
has no doubt that the City Attorney will begin lying to a federal court very
soon. Once the City Attorney lies before
federal court, Lynch will ask the court to refer them to the U.S. Attorney for
prosecution. That same is true for
Leonard Cohen and his legal representatives.
The Northern California Innocence Project’s report addressed the ongoing
situation with prosecutorial misconduct in California. Judge Alex Konzinski, 9th Circuit
Court, is attempting to address many of the extremely problematic issues within
our justice system. He has called for
sweeping reforms and clearly those reforms should involve holding people
accountable for misconduct, fraud, and perjury.
Lynch is quite clear about the type of tactics prosecutors and
individuals use to advance their deviant goals and obtain fraudulent
convictions, orders, and judgments. She
attempted to address some of this in her appeal and believes this is one of the
reasons the City Attorney retaliated against her. Another reason would be Lynch’s requests to
IRS, FBI, and DOJ for a full investigation of her trial and all matters related
to her and Leonard Cohen. All of these
matters involve serious federal tax controversies.
ACCORDING
TO A SOURCE CLOSE TO LYNCH’S COURT APPOINTED DEFENSE TEAM that this author
spoke to by phone, Lynch refused to waive her right to a jury trial within 45
days, refused to admit any wrongdoing, and insisted on pursuing the implausible
defense that ALL of Lynch’s email and voice mail communications were simply
requests for “tax information” so that Lynch could file her 2003 and 2004
federal and state income tax returns.
Lynch never argued that all of her
alleged emails and voice mails were simply requests for “tax information.” She is aware that the City Attorney believes
that the definition of “legitimate” communications in California is limited to
federal tax matters. Lynch’s alleged
communications were entirely “legitimate.”
That would include with respect to the slander, defamation, libel,
Cohen’s operatives, and the targeting of her sons, etc. Gianelli has previously stated that he spoke
to one of Lynch’s public defenders and attempted to elicit information about
what her witnesses discussed with them. Judge
Robert Vanderet clearly sabotaged Lynch’s defense when he refused to permit IRS
Agent Luis Tejeda and/or Rutger Penick to testify. Gianelli has now changed his story to address
“a source close to” Lynch’s public defenders.
No such “source” exists. Gianelli
is a retired lawyer and doesn’t have sources.
That would include the “source” he has recently advised Lynch
about. That “source” evidently read this
slanderous article to Phil Spector. The
mere notion is positively deranged. Phil
Spector does not appreciate an individual who relentlessly targets Lynch and Paulette
Brandt; attempts to elicit information about him; and defends Leonard Cohen. Lynch did refuse to waive her right to a jury
trial within 45 days and has her attorney notes confirming that this was acceptable
to them and they had enough time to prepare.
Lynch didn’t insist on any defense and feels that her attorneys should
have gotten the facts straight. She
advised them that she was told the order expired. They informed her that they would contact
Boulder Combined Court for the file and all information. Lynch ultimately obtained the information she
required from the Boulder Combined Court on April 10, 2014. LA Superior Court has no remedies available
for Lynch. That would include with
respect to the excessive fraud and perjury used to obtain both the original
default judgment and renewal of the judgment (that now involves Cohen’s
attempts to extort additional fraudulent financial interest from Lynch);
January 2014 decision with respect to the motion to vacate; the renewal of
judgment; fraudulent domestic violence order; sealing of corporate and tax
documents; and other matters now under appeal.
LYNCH
SUPPLIED A LIST OF WITNESSES TO HER DEFENSE TEAM, and the same source informed
this author that “not a single witness was able to corroborate a single claim
made by Lynch”. The source further conceded that “the only issue before the
court was 1. Was there a valid restraining order?; 2. Did Lynch know about it?;
and 3. Did she violate it?" The source further stated that in order to
manage Lynch’s behavior, they made a tactical decision to “not disagree” with
her adamant assertion that the Los Angeles County Superior Court lacked
jurisdiction to prosecute her because, in view of her prior report to the IRS
of Cohen’s alleged “tax fraud”, the only court with jurisdiction over her was
the federal tax court – a claim that the source agreed was absurd.
Lynch’s public defenders, and this is
also confirmed in her attorney notes, spoke to Steven Machat who offered to fly
in to testify for Lynch. He had a
scheduling conflict and the trial should have been continued. Lynch, by the way, was not advised of the
plea deal or provided with legal advice regarding that alleged “deal” prior to
her trial. There is not a “valid”
restraining order. It does not meet VAWA
requirements. It was issued without
findings. The only issue before the
Court was whether Cohen’s lawyer could define “directly” or “indirectly” and
Lynch’s statement that these people are insane and dangerous to her
welfare. Lynch was advised by the
Boulder Combined Court that the permanent order expired on February 15, 2009
and was not aware of the fraudulent domestic violence order. This is now a federal issue, and that
includes the VAWA funding fraud, which will be addressed in federal court. Los Angeles Superior Court does not have
jurisdiction over Lynch with respect to the fraud domestic violence order, the
trial itself, the fraudulent default judgment matter, the related case, or most
matters that involve me. LA Superior
Court simply assigns itself jurisdiction.
Lynch’s appellate attorney wrote her a letter with respect to Gianelli’s
harassment of him and her trial. He
confirmed that he believed it’s a federal tax controversy that relates to
Leonard Cohen which IRS should investigate.
Her public defender advised her that the City Attorney was attempting to
sabotage IRS; discredit her; the DA didn’t want the Spector verdict overturned;
and there may have been a “jury plant” on the jury that relied on Streeter’s
false statements about Traditional Holdings, LLC’s corporate assets. That would have occurred after the judge
instructed the jurors not to rely on attorney arguments as evidence. Lynch continuously asked her lawyers why the
City Attorney was permitted to lie about her extensively and is unclear why
prosecutorial misconduct was not raised as an issue. After all, LA Superior Court appointed her
lawyers to represent her. The bailiff
himself commented to Lynch that her lawyers did not appear to have an interest
in meeting with her. He attempted to
give her five minutes here or there to meet with them after the hearings.
UNSURPRISINGLY,
GIVEN THE PATENTLY ABUSIVE AND NONBUSINESS RELATED NATURE OF MANY OF THE EMAILS
and the implausibility of her defense, Lynch was convicted of all counts. After
a sentencing hearing where Leonard Cohen addressed the court, Lynch was
sentenced to serve 18-months in the county jail and placed on 5-years’
probation. WHAT DID SURPRISE LYNCH’S FAMILY was the fact that the very day that
Lynch was released from jail, she recommenced her campaign of email harassment
– sending this author 7-emails on that first day of freedom alone. As stated by
her son Rutger Penick on May 7, 2013: “We all were under the impression that
she was going to behave after her arrest and time in jail.”
Lynch has and will address the
so-called “extraneous materials” Gianelli and others attempt to insert into all
matters related to Lynch. That might
explain why Gianelli wrote IRS Chief Trial Counsel’s Office about Phil
Spector’s former DA Steve Cooley. This
conduct was also carried out online.
Leonard Cohen lied extensively about IRS, federal tax matters, and Lynch
during his so-called “Victim Impact Statement.”
What surprised Lynch’s family is the fact that the public defender`s
never returned their calls, asked them to testify, or obtained declarations
from them. Lynch has no idea why they
didn’t obtain a declaration from Steven Machat.
Lynch has not engaged in email harassment. Her emails to IRS, FBI, DOJ, and others
document what has unfolded since she reported the allegations that Cohen
committed criminal tax fraud. Rutger’s
comments, in an attempt to determine what was going on with Gianelli and the
City Attorney, were addressed in his declaration.
FOLLOWING
LYNCH’S RELEASE FROM JAIL, her friends Michael Ingrassia and Raymond “Ray”
Lynch agreed to pick Lynch up in Los Angeles, and transport her to Ray’s home
in Pleasant Hill California where Lynch’s sister had arranged to rent a room
for Lynch by guaranteeing her rent “until she got back on her feet”. HOWEVER,
Ingrassia and Lawrence did not pick
Lynch up in Los Angeles. She didn’t go
Lawrence’s house at that time. Her
sister flew in from Texas; they drove to the Bay Area together; and stayed in a
hotel for approximately 5 days together.
Ingrassia and Lawrence offered to let Lynch rent a room. Her sister agreed to pay one month’s
rent. Ray Lawrence confirmed this in
writing. Her sister was not in a
financial position to support Lynch. She
never guaranteed anything to Ray Lawrence.
Lynch’s sister never spoke with or communicated with Lawrence.
ONCE
KAREN LYNCH LEARNED that Lynch had picked up her email activities where she had
left off (whatever promises she made to the contrary) Karen Lynch cut her off
and refused to pay another cent in rent. After about 9-months with no rent
payments Ray became impatient, particularly when he returned from a business
trip to learn that someone (who he believed to be Lynch) had consumed his
collection of imported wines and refilled the bottles with colored water.
Lynch, in fact, was beginning to show the same side she displayed during the
few months that she resided in Rutger’s Los Angeles apartment, and Ray asked
Lynch to leave.
The situation that Gianelli has
described never occurred. Ray Lawrence
was not on a business trip and did not really live with Lynch. He relocated to another state and Lynch resided
with his roommate, Michael Ingrassia.
Michael Ingrassia wrote Lynch that he planned to report Gianelli’s
harassment to the police if it continued.
Lawrence did not accuse Lynch of consuming alcohol and replacing it with
colored water. In fact, he wrote Lynch
that he would never make that presumption.
He did however accuse Michael Ingrassia of drinking his alcohol and
having parties where it was raided. Lynch
advised Ingrassia and Lawrence that she did not want to be in the middle of
their domestic disputes. This situation
was addressed extensively in this court document. That would include Gianelli’s attempts to
have Lawrence ship Lynch’s evidence and property to Leonard Cohen’s lawyer,
Michelle Rice. Gianelli also referred
Lawrence to a lawyer in Contra Costa.
And, Gianelli advised Lawrence to report Lynch to FTB for failing to pay
taxes. Lynch does not owe FTB
taxes. She has discussed this with Doug
Davis. Gianelli attempted to communicate
with Doug Davis, FTB, about Lynch. FTB
has informed Lynch that they are not legally permitted to speak to third
parties about Lynch’s tax matters, etc.
She is currently preparing a declaration for FTB’s Fraud Unit addressing
the fact that Leonard Cohen willfully refuses to provide her with IRS required
tax and corporate documents (1099 and K-1s) for the years 2004 and 2005. FTB has not received any form 1099 or K-1
related to Lynch for the year 2004. IRS
has received K-1s from LC Investments, LLC indicating that Lynch was a partner
in that entity who received $0 income for the years 2004 and 2005. Lynch was not a partner. FTB did not receive these K-1s.
LYNCH’S
RESPONSE WAS AGAIN SWIFT AND PREDICTABLE. Lynch began harassing Ray by email,
and began to threaten to email Ray’s employer about his alleged sexual and
relationship history. This harassment intensified after Ray put Lynch on a bus
back to Los Angeles, this time to reside with Paulette Brandt in her two
bedroom apartment in Hollywood. On July 11, 2013 Ray was granted a permanent
civil harassment restraining order against Lynch, notwithstanding Brandt's
testimony against Lawrence.
Ray Lawrence had a meltdown and began
falsely accusing Lynch of stealing Michael Ingrassia’s computer. Ingrassia confirmed in writing that he gave
it to Lynch. Lawrence then began
emailing Lynch, her sons, Paulette Brandt, Mario Lara and others harassing them
with Stephen Gianelli and Cohen’s fan, Susanne Walsh. This situation resulted in Lawrence sending
Paulette Brandt, someone he does not know, an utterly pornographic email. Mario Lara confirmed that Gianelli, Walsh, and
Lawrence were harassing him. Many people
in Los Angeles continue to be criminally harassed. Lawrence, based on an insane narrative, was
granted a default judgment restraining order.
Although Lynch fedexed her documents to the Court two days before the
hearing the Court refused to consider that evidence. Restraining orders are a dime a dozen and
Contra Costa Court has essentially confirmed that they prefer fraud, perjury,
and hearsay to civil rights and due process.
That might explain why, with the full understanding that Lynch couldn’t
afford to attend the hearing, the Court refused to permit her to testify by
CourtCall. Lynch has no interest in Ray
Lawrence and never contacted his employer.
She was interested in making arrangements for Paulette Brandt to pick up
her property and evidence.
MEANWHILE,
LYNCH HAD BEEN SENDING HARASSING EMAILS TO THE PROSECUTOR in her 2012 criminal
harassment trial, including a February 14, 2013 email that informed Ms.
Streeter that she was on Lynch’s “kill list” (an email that Paulette Brandt
later characterized in a court filed declaration as “charming and funny”, but
in which Los Angles prosecutors saw no humor). In fact, in view of Lynch’s
emails referencing the “assassination” of (now former) District Attorney Steve
Cooley and Lynch’s alarming emails to prosecutor Streeter, both the Threat
Management Unit of the Los Angeles Police Department and the Workplace Violence
Unit of the City Attorney’s Office began keeping an eye on Lynch, including her
blogging and emailing activities.
Lynch has never threatened Cooley or
Streeter. They both appear to be
inveterate liars with colleagues willing to lie as well. In fact, Jack Horvath (DA’s office) wrote and
lied to the Court that Lynch merely contacted the DA’s office in 2007. Horvath failed to address the fact that,
based on an anonymous tip –about Lynch and Spector’s friendship, Investigator
Brian Bennett rolled by her house. He
also failed to address the fact that she reported the criminal negligence in
her son’s Whole Food case to the DA’s office; filed a complaint with their
Major Fraud Unit in 2006 about Leonard Cohen’s theft from her totaling millions
of dollars; etc. Vivienne Swanigan, City
Attorney’s office, filed a perjured declaration with the Court after
encouraging Stephen Gianelli to continue harassing Lynch. The City Attorney and LAPD’s TMU should be
prepared to provide Lynch with a warrant permitting them to “monitor” her
activities.
ULTIMATELY,
LYNCH WAS CHARGED WITH VIOLATING THE TERMS OF HER 2012 CRIMINAL HARASSMENT
PROBATION. While that case was winding its way through the Los Angeles Court
system, in September of 2013 Lynch filed a (belated) motion to vacate Cohen’s
May, 2006 $7M default judgment, testifying in her supporting declaration that
she was never served. Paulette Brandt in 2014 ON JANUARY 17, OF 2014, Judge
Hess found that Lynch failed to show due diligence in not earlier requesting
the court to entertain her motion to vacate the judgment, and that in any
event, the emails that Lynch started transmitting to Cohen’s counsel in the
suit WITHIN HOURS OF SERVICE persuaded the court that Lynch was not telling the
truth about not being served. (A facinating transcript of a snorting and
disrespectful Lynch being schooled on the legal facts of life by Judge Hess at
that court hearing is found HERE, attached to Cohen's Request for Judicial
Notice - scroll to the attached transcript.] Five days later, on January 22,
2014 the Hon. Henry Barela, judge, rejected Lynch’s argument (supported by
Paulette Brandt) that it was Lynch who was being harassed by this author in
“conspiracy” with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, found that Lynch’s
death threats and other emails to her trial prosecutor to be a violation of her
probation, and ordered her remanded to the county jail to serve a sentence of
an additional 6-months. Lynch was then handcuffed in open court and taken
directly to jail.
Lynch didn’t violate probation. When she was released from jail, she had
slanderous emails to her and third parties from Gianelli. Gianelli continued to slander Lynch
online. In November 2012, Gianelli and
Cohen’s fan, Walsh (who would copy Cohen’s lawyer on many of her harassing
emails), began writing Lynch’s prosecutor, falsely accused her of many things,
and began slandering her with her sons, sister, Paulette Brandt, and others
copied in. Lynch attempted to address
the slander, false allegations to this government agency, called the City
Attorney and LAPD’s TMU about the harassment, but the City Attorney used it as
an opportunity to retaliate against Lynch and refused to address her legitimate
grievances. Paulette Brandt testified at
the probation hearing that she personally was advised by Boulder Combined Court
that the permanent order expired in February 2009. This testimony took place approximately four
months prior to Boulder Combined Court providing Lynch with evidence from their
database that confirmed that they have “expired” with respect to an order
before that Court and the date February 15, 2009. Boulder Combined Court, not Lynch, created this
situation. However, the fraudulent
California domestic violence order is the order Lynch was prosecuted for
violating. There was and remains no
“dating” relationship or “domestic violence.”
LA Superior Court will not be assigning Lynch a “dating” relationship
with this individual. They can assign
the government actors with the “expectation of affection” for Cohen the
“dating” relationship. Lynch was not
served or notified of the newly created “domestic violence order” and the
Appellate Division doesn’t believe that is an element of due process. Lynch’s matters before Judge Hess are under
appeal so she has nothing further to address about those matters at this
time. She was not served. Judge Hess did not school Lynch in anything
other than the fact that LA Superior Court condones fraud, perjury, and
litigation misconduct. Judge Barela
refused to address the evidence before him and the prosecutor lied
extensively. That would include with
respect to FBI. Lynch didn’t issue a
“death threat” to anyone so she has no idea what Judge Barela concluded – nor
does she care. What she has witnessed
with respect to these judges is reprehensible and that includes their demeanor. Lynch remains convinced that the situation
with Gianelli and the City Attorney was and remains criminal in nature. Her appellate attorney wrote that the
prosecutor was engaged in criminal obstruction of justice and advised her to
abandon her appeal over the situation.
That will be addressed in Lynch’s RICO suit against the City and County
of Los Angeles.
Lynch didn’t “snort” at the hearing
in January 2014. She laughed at the
judge’s comment about the perjury oath since every word before LA Superior
Court about Lynch is a lie, fraud, or perjured statement. The transcript is Exhibit 1 in Cohen’s Request
for Judicial Notice.
AS SOON
AS LYNCH WAS RELEASED FROM CUSTODY, in July of 2014, Lynch began barraging the
attorney that Cohen retained to oppose Lynch’s motion to vacate with hundreds
of emails threatening to file yet another motion for orders vacating Cohen’s
2006 $7M judgment, as well as demanding that Cohen open his books from more
than a decade ago to her so she can seek sums and property that she claims
Cohen owes her.
Lynch continued with her attempts to
obtain IRS required tax and corporate records.
She didn’t barrage Cohen’s attorney.
She did request that she be permitted to inspect the corporate books,
records, and federal tax returns.
Leonard Cohen owes Lynch millions of dollars. Boies Schiller reviewed three huge boxes of
evidence and confirmed this as well. A
default judgment does not permit someone like Leonard Cohen to engage in theft
and extortion. Lynch and many other Los
Angeles residents are the parties who continue to be criminally harassed by
Stephen Gianelli. Judge Barela refused
to review the evidence; refused to review Lynch’s Brady Motion; and the
prosecutor lied throughout the proceedings.
ON MARCH
22, 2015, LYNCH FILED HER SECOND MOTION to vacate the now almost decade old
default judgment entered after Lynch refused to participate in the case. The
hearing date is June 23, 2015, but it is hard to imagine given the factual and
procedural history of this entire sordid affair that this will have a happy
outcome for Lynch. In fact, a few minutes spent scrolling through Lynch’s blog
and perusing the thousands of posts about Leonard Cohen and the other alleged
conspirators against her leaves no doubt that in Lynch’s mind it is still 2005
and that she has learned absolutely no lessons from her hardship during the
last decade. Indeed, Kelley Lynch wrote in a mass email today (cc the IRS of
course): “Every word in my trial is a lie and Cohen and his lawyers belong in
prison.”
Lynch did not file a second motion to
vacate. She filed a motion addressing
fraud upon the court which the court mischaracterized as one of California’s
motions to reconsider. It was not a
motion to reconsider but addressed the fraud and perjury related to the January
2014 decision not to vacate the default judgment. The transcript of the June 23, 2015 hearing
can be viewed at this link. Gianelli
does not spend a few minutes perusing Lynch’s blog. He is obsessed with Lynch’s blog and believes
he is entitled to criminally harass her over her blog posts and evidence. Every word in Lynch’s trial is a lie. Lynch’s public defender’s notes confirm that
Kory himself may also be involved in criminal conduct and that would go to
motive. Those notes will be submitted to
the federal court with Lynch’s RICO suit.
The June 23, 2015 hearing related to Lynch’s motion addressing fraud
upon the court. Lynch’s declaration to
the IRS, dated March 1, 2015, was then submitted to LA Superior Court in
support of her motion. The evidence has
been submitted to IRS, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, FTB, and other authorities. Lynch informed LA Superior Court that she had
submitted her IRS Declaration to Tax Court.
As that document, and the evidence addressed therein, was uploaded to
her Tax Petition blog (which has now been destroyed), Lynch is separately
uploading that document for Tax Court.
AS FOR
WHY Paulette Brandt continues to provide a roof over Lynch’s head, Wi-Fi, and a
source of alcohol to Lynch it is anyone’s guess. A well placed source (a former
housemate of Brandt and of Linda Carol) told us that Lynch promised to share
the "millions" in money and intellectual property that she plans to
recover from Cohen in court. Several former housemates and landlords of Lynch
tell a similar story of promised compensation when Lynch's litigation ship
comes in, including Lynch's former landlord Raymond Lawrence, who showed us
emails from Lynch promising to pay off the mortgage on his Pleasant Hill, CA
residence.
Paulette Brandt does not
supply Lynch with alcohol. Neither of
them have substance abuse issues.
Gianelli has written third parties that Paulette Brandt is a drunken
lesbian which she is not. He is dead set
on slandering and discrediting Brandt as well.
It is important to keep in mind that Investigator William Frayeh, DA
investigator on the Spector case, concluded that Gianelli may have found a
“sympathetic ear” with Spector’s prosecutor Alan Jackson about Lynch. Cohen evidently found a “sympathetic ear”
with former DA Steve Cooley.
Gianelli’s well placed
source may very well be “Karina Von Watteville.” Von Watteville appears to target elderly men
for money. She owes Paulette Brandt
$6,700 in rental arrears. When she
received Paulette Brandt’s rental arrears demand letter, she decided to contact
Robert Kory. She then proceeded to rant
about Leonard Cohen and Robert Kory to the Small Claims mediators in the case
Paulette Brandt filed against her.
Paulette Brandt was awarded $6,700 by the court. Gianelli then ended up represented Von
Watteville and assisted her in defrauding Paulette Brandt of the $6,700. This was accomplished by lying to LA Superior
Court. Lynch has an ownership interest
in the intellectual property but has promised Paulette Brandt nothing other
than to pay her in full for rent for the period she has stayed with her. That
seems like an appropriate agreement.
Lynch didn’t promise to pay off Lawrence’s mortgage. She advised him that she would like to pay
down his mortgage by the precise amount she owes him. That’s what they discussed. There is no evidence to support any of this
and Lawrence has nothing whatsoever to do with any matters between Lynch and
Cohen apart from his involvement with Gianelli.
Stephen Gianelli is dead set on slandering Paulette Brandt who he has
criminally harassed for approximately three straight years since discovering
this post uploaded to Lynch’s blog.
Stephen Gianelli is an agent provocateur/infiltrator who belongs in
prison with many others.
See also Lynch’s blog
(riverdeepbook.blogspot.com) and her press releases for further details. Lynch has mocked up this slanderous article,
posted online and being sent to third parties by Gianelli, in an attempt to
provide Tax Court with her rebuttal, the facts, and a general sense of the
totality of circumstances.
