This explosive court case, the court pleadings which appear below, has the potential to dismantle the state and federal courts in Ohio, as well as Bush Sr. and Jr.'s money machine in
Ohio. An evidentiary hearing set for Tuesday in front of Ohio Chief Judge Randolph Baxter seeks to strike and seal the evidence in the case of Bill Maloof, former owner of Level Propane.
Corrupt Ohio officials are now trying to cover-up the validity of Maloof's case, Simply put, his company was on the verge of exposing massive consumer fraud in the propane industry. He found that propane distributors had a deal with Oil refineries to sell propane contaminated with ethane, a by product of the refinery process that the industry can't sell and is expensive to dispose of in an effort to bypass pollution laws and contaminate the people.
"Anyway his company also had a technological advantage in distribution due a satellite based system which was proprietary," said a person close to the explosive case. "In 2001
Ohio's then Attorney Gen. Betty Montgomery initiated a consumer case against level for billing practices that Maloof implemented on advice of his counsel Squire Sanders and Dempsey.
"Maloof then settled those claims but it made his lenders nervous. He further was also falsely charged with child sexual abuse by Cuyahoga
County prosecutor Bill Mason. He beat that charge when evidence arose that the case was fabricated against him (now expunged and sealed).
"Bill then sought advice from Benesch Friedlander Coplan and Aronoff a law firm in Cleveland to file a Chapter 11 to stave off the bank group that was getting nervous.
Bill had two buyers for his company wherein he would have netted about $150 million in 2002.
"Benesch unbeknownst to Bill was working with the Bank Group to take over the company. The Banks wanted level out of business due his marketing advantages (on verge of cornering propane market) and more importantly the massive exposure to their big Oil customers with the looming exposure of massive consumer fraud in the propane industry due selling of contaminated propane.
"Bill knew there was fraud in his case but could never really prove it. The Bankruptcy court appointed an Examiner in 2003 to inquire but that investigation was controlled."
However, recently Maloof filed a Motion to Vacate the bankruptcy case and a $6,000,000,0000 (Billion) fraud case against the Bank group in US Bankruptcy Court ND Ohio and US District Court ND Ohio.
Chief Judge Randolph Baxter then denied his Motion to Vacate in June 2006. Maloof then filed additional evidence of fraud and evidence of collusion.
The lawyers then filed a Motion for Sanctions saying its frivolous and asking Baxter to strike the evidence and seal it. That goes down on Tuesday.
His lawyer, however, says he expects the judge to seal this evidence because the judge is implicated along with the U.S. Trustee.
His lawyer also claims Maloof can beat the system by posting the pleadings on the internet prior to the hearing.
The Banks in this case include the worlds largest Deutsch Bank and ABN Ambro. Similarly key law firms such as Greenberg and Taurig (Abramahoff's firm) are involved in this case.
