Crooked judges, crooked legal system.

Ever wondered who becomes a judge or who would want to be a judge in America? Well if your going to make only $80,000 a year versus an attorney whose minimum is $200,000 . An attorney makes $350,000 on average, that tells you right there that only the worst of the worst attorneys become judges. Or they become judges because of the lucrative side deals and bribes they are getting. This is especially for federal judges. Most judges are extremely crooked. Attorneys always request a trial by jury not by judge. There are a few exceptions of female judges that are not crooked and not failed attorneys. They simply choose an easy job because of family circumstances. Justice is not blind. It is who ever the judges like. It is real easy to become a judge. All you need is to pass the bar exam just like any attorney. There is no extra judge school or something. There is no consumer watch dog flagging down crooked judges. They have absolute immunity from misconduct. All judges cover for each other, they are all friends. Judges organize all kinds of social meetings all the time for each other. They form a real tight group. I will point out numerous real examples of outright crooked and bribed judges, such as William P. Dimitrouleas and others. Keep reading.
Patent case:
Now comes a clear case example of how unbelievably crooked the justice system is especially with having crooked judges such as William P. Dimitrouleas. This judge made more money from my invention than I did. When you Google or MSN my name you find the Walmart case high up. This famous case is now being used to invalidate other patents as it has set a controlling precedent for new cases.

Sep. 1994, I invented and filed for a patent which has been issued in most countries world wide, such as: Europe, Japan, Russia, China, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Vietnam, Korea, and many more. The invention is the famous improvement for the caulking tube to make it drip-less. The invention stopped the afterflow. Afterflow was that when you would use the caulking tube it would leak out for a minute. It was leaking because the tube was made from soft plastic. So I came up with 3 novel inventions at the same time. 1) a sleeve of hard material, that you slide over the tube. It would then almost not expand and not leak afterwards. 2) the squeeze gun should be equipped with a sort of side squeezer also. This way no pressure would build up. 3) to make the plunger part in the tube (the part that pushes the caulk) smaller in diameter. Up until 1994, they made these plungers equal in diameter or larger than the tube. In both cases the plunger would seal the caulk inside from getting dry and hard. The plunger was wedged in the tube and could only move forward when squeezing the caulking gun. My invention was to make the plunger smaller in diameter than the inside diameter of the tube. This way the plunger could move backwards after squeezing and there was absolutely no afterflow. I also discovered that the caulk inside would not dry out. In between the plunger and tube the caulk would dry out, but at the same time prevent the rest from drying out.

I contacted several caulk tube manufacturers in Dec. 1994, who expressed great interest in evaluating and possibly licensing my invention. At least that’s what they said. I signed a confidentiality agreement with Sonoco and 2 others. After disclosing the invention none “evaluated” the invention. None even wrote back or responded. 3 weeks later the first changed caulk tubes were for sale already. Within 3 weeks they had changed their production molds of the plungers. My patent attorney advised me to wait till the patent would be issued and sue them for royalties from the date they started selling, since I had a confidentiality agreement. It normally takes 2 years before a patent gets issued. My patent was issued in Dec. 1996. By now every caulk tube sold in the USA was equipped with my patented improvement. They were selling 900 million tubes a year. At a 5% royalty which is the average, this would be about $50 million a year I was supposed to get. My attorneys predicted that suing big companies would take a long time and be very costly. They were correct. Patent infringement cases are not the kind of cases attorneys take on a contingency. They wanted to get paid by the hour. Till thus far, I have spent over $1,500,000.00 on attorneys with no recovery. We never had a settlement offer. Normally companies make a settlement offer. There is the chance of losing and when you lose in a patent case you have to pay triple the damages. The reason they never offered a single penny was as follows: Federal Judge William P. Dimitrouleas was on the payroll of Sonoco products. Sonoco products makes just about every caulk tube in the world. They make the tube for other name brands such as General Electric. It turned out the other 2 companies were buying from Sonoco too. It is a billion dollar company and traded on the stock market. The case was called the Walmart case because they were the first name on the list of defendants. In reality, it was the Sonoco case. It never went to a jury. This crooked judge William P. Dimitrouleas declared the patent invalid! Most people have seen and worked once in their life with these caulking tubes. Most will remember how they were before the end of 1994 as compared to after. It is clear that the caulk tubes have changed. They had to change the shelf life from 4 years to 1 year because of the smaller plunger.

So this is what happened: My attorney’s filed the suit in federal court in May 1997. First we had a non crooked judge and everything went fine. Discovery started . But in the middle of 1998, all of a sudden, crooked judge Dimitrouleas had the case transferred to himself. 2 months later Sonoco filed a motion for summary judgment. When there are absolutely no issues to be tried, a party can move for a summary judgment. The requesting party states that it is a waste of time and money to go to trial because there are no issues. When you have a crooked judge, this is the way to go. In the motion, Sonoco presented two affidavits from their own employees stating they never changed the dimensions of the product. At the same time, they would say that for purpose of invalidating the patent they would admit to infringing. Thus they reasoned; if the product was infringing before Vanmoor filed a patent the invention was not new and should be declared invalid. There were two big lies: 1) the product did change and the two employees lied. 2) Even if some caulking tubes from the line of 20 or more products did not change; I did off course not accuse these unchanged tubes of infringing. In the motion they also pointed to the fact that I owned an escort service. I would have never started the service if they had not ripped me of. If they would have paid my millions in royalties I would have gotten rid of the escort service too. My attorney countered the motion with one affidavit from a mold maker stating that the product was different from the so called unchanged specification sheets. A clear case of issues of fact. Did the product change, yes or no, and did the product infringe, yes or no, did they make products anticipating the invention before my filing date, yes or no. Three major issues that are supposed to be tried by a jury and not a judge. It is also standard practice in patent infringement cases to have a “Markman” hearing. In this hearing, with or without experts the infringing product is examined and it is determined which, if any, of the patents claims are infringed. This mandatory hearing was cancelled also by this crooked judge. He threw the entire case out. He ridiculed me and my attorney by stating we showed only one affidavit. He also stated that my allegations of infringement were “conclusory allegations” . Till this day nobody is able to fully explain what that word conclusory means. Anyway this crooked judge also declared my patent invalid. He stated that if the accused product did not change and infringes at the same time the patent can logically not be valid. That is true, but the product did change and the unchanged version was not accused. It was only the Sonoco employees saying this. Not me. One might think that this judge did not understand the case and that’s why he made this ridiculous ruling. What happened later proves he knew but is crooked and was paid. It was already strange that he took the case from another judge and the fact that Sonoco never offered to settle. That means Sonoco knew they were going to win. They knew the judge was rigged.

We then filed an appeal and another law suit against Sonoco on a similar patent. The second patent was based on the same invention but was more relating to the method of a drip less caulking tube by way of making the plunger smaller. Whereas the other was more mechanical. That case ended up by another judge but after a year Dimitrouleas had that case transferred to him as well and declared this patent also invalid. This time he reasoned that collateral estoppel applied. He stated the patents were identical and thus the verdict from the first suit would apply to this new suit also. In this suit we had fully explained that the two Sonoco employees had lied. We had expert witnesses measure the dimensions from the tubes before and after they changed. The judge did not want to hear about it. Then we filed for a motion to reconsider based on newly discovered evidence. We even offered a live demonstration to the judge. He did not want the demonstration and he stated that we filed the motion too late. That new evidence motion should have been filed within a year of the original verdict. He also awarded attorney fees to Sonoco. I had to pay this big multinational company their attorney fees. It was clear this judge was bought. He did everything he could do to screw me. He wrote all his decisions in a clever way so they were not winnable on appeal. In 2002 we filed a law suit for fraud against Sonoco and their attorneys and the two attorneys for fraud in state court. Sonoco had requested that the case move to federal court. When it was transferred, it was assigned to a new federal judge. But Dimitrouleas transferred also this new case to him. He again threw it out stating it was all another bite at the same apple as he worded it in his verdict. He even invited Sonoco in his verdict to file another motion for attorney fees. They did and he granted them again attorney fees.

We took an appeal on every decision. Every appeal was lost too. In every case there was a 15 minute hearing whereby my attorney went to Washington and argued in front of the 3 judges. Every time it appeared the judges had an attitude. Like I was a nuisance. They took the facts as determined by Dimitrouleas. An appellate court only looks if the judge made an error of law. It was Dimitrouleas who established the facts. Based on these wrongful established facts the law was correctly applied. The whole case has now set a real bad precedent for inventors. Big companies that steal inventions are now invalidating the patents they infringe all the time. All they need to do is bring a few false affidavits in summary judgement and the patent is invalidated. There is a real scam going on now. First, when a patent is applied for, the examiner checks all prior art. In my case, the prior art showed different from my improvement. Second, after a patent is issued a party such as Sonoco could have requested the examiner to re-examine the patent. They never did this because there was nothing to invalidate the patent. Sonoco used a crooked judge who they bribed to clear the case. The patents and court actions and pleadings are public record. So be my guest; if you do not believe this judge is crooked then read the facts.

Divorce case:
Getting married? Think twice. You can lose most of your assets and have to pay alimony. Prenuptial agreements do not necessarily hold up in court. Attorney fees can be hundred thousand or more easy. I married in April 1995 with Barbara Butts. We had a prenuptial agreement. We only lived 4 months together. A year and 2 months after we separated she filed for divorce in Sep. 1996. In the divorce filing she wanted $20,000 a month alimony and a few million she claimed she had worked for my escort service and was not being compensated properly. She also claimed the value of my patents had increased during marriage. She left out that we had a prenup. I called up a few family attorneys, and hired Shelly Mitchell. She explained that the facts of the case were not nearly as important as how I looked and behaved. She said that I would not stand a chance in court with that long hair. I needed to cut my hair and see a behavioral specialist. I thought it was strange because justice is supposed to be blind. Well not in America I was explained. I met with this lady (Sigourney Weaver look a like) she was real nice, but was really a shrink. She explained that judge Vitale was known to be very pro woman. Now I was even more surprised. How can a judge be a judge while everybody knows she is bias? Well that’s just the way the system works I was told by my attorney. Well I cut my hair and we had our first hearing. It was a hearing regarding a restraining order. 6 months after I moved out of our house I moved to a rented condo on the ocean. My wife got evicted from her house and found a new place. Guess where? In the same building as where I lived. In the restraining order she requested I not come not near her within so many feet. Which in affect would mean I had to move. Instead of the judge throwing, it out she bent over backwards to come up with arguments that I could only be in certain areas of the building etc. There was not even an allegation of abuse. It was just that she did not want to run in to me. She wanted temporary alimony despite our prenup and despite she was living with another man and despite I had moved out 14 months and despite of only living together 3 months. Granted also, I had to pay her $3,000 a month. The judge did not care about anything. Now the temporary issues were settled. Shelly Mitchell filed an answer to the complaint but never put in that we had a prenup. I was flabbergasted was my attorney crooked? My behavioral changer told me to get a new attorney; Melvin Frumkes was supposedly the best. He did not understand either why my attorney did not mention the prenup. He too confirmed that the facts have very little relevance in the case, and it is all about presentation. Her, as a wealthy woman from the Butts family, now being broke and me, being a pimp/escort service owner now being rich, would make me lose. Frumkes filed a new answer explaining that there was a prenup. Meanwhile, I was ordered by the court to pay her attorney fees too. She had hired two attorneys . Frumkes was also expensive. I had to settle with my wife because I could no longer afford her and my attorney fees. I had paid Frumkes $120,000 but he claimed that for all the hours he worked I owed him yet another $95,000 . Judge Vitale ruled that the prenuptial agreement was invalid. Not because it was not valid at the time it got entered in to, but because of what happened afterwards. She explained in her ruling that it was unfair that she was not able to recover because of the prenup and that the events that happened after the marriage should carry back to the prenup. She was saying that it was suspicious, and I might have had a false intent with the prenup, that she was rich before the marriage and me broke and a year later it is the opposite. She felt it was strange that I had insisted in a prenup, which would indicate that I knew or planned to get richer than her. She felt something was wrong and declared the prenup invalid. The judge also wrote in her order that my allegation of Barabara spending $10,000 a week on cocaine and pills as unfounded. Unfounded is a word officials use to say politely that they think you’re a fucking liar.

I had to settle my attorney explained: With this judge making all these crazy rulings this was an indication what was yet to come, this was just the beginning. The judge had the power of taking away my escort service, all my assets, cars and my patents, she had the power to do anything she wanted. Even lock me up. An appeal would not help, the facts are determined by the lower court. All the judge needed to do was write the order in a way that technically it could not be appealed. Also only 4% of cases get over turned on appeal. They keep this on purpose low in order to discourage people not to file an appeal due to heavy case load. An appeal would take a year and filing an appeal would not grant a stay on the verdict, so I could be broke while waiting for an appeal. So the agreement was that I had to give her 3 years of $7,000 a month and 2 years $4,000 a month. Her death in June 01 ended the last 15 payments of $4,000. Total loss thanks to biased judge Vitale; more than half a million. Barbara Butts died sitting up straight on her bed in a run down beach motel. She had coke, xanax, oxycottin and heroin in her blood. She had also 3 morphine patches on her arms Her boyfriend Kim Killpatrick had cleaned her from her last $200,000 . I spoke with her once on the phone. She apologized for everything that had happened. She blamed her boyfriend pushing her against me. After she died she was put in a card board box, since her rich family did not want to pay for a coffin.

Hollywood case:
This case is another clear example of a crooked judge. Jan 199I had to go to trial for "fleeing and elduing". How this all went down you can read under false arrest no 6. On a Thursday afternoon we had just picked a jury. It was a perfect jury for me, most young people, guys and girls that looked like they like to party. Crooked judge Berman did something that is way out of the ordinary. He dismissed the whole jury. H must have known from experience that this jury would never convict me with this already not strong case. This judge for reasons unknown wanted me convicted no matter what. He rescheduled the case for Monday morning and guess what happened? All the jurors that walked in were females over the age of 45. Judge Berman must have ordered his clerk to hand pick the jurors waiting on Monday morning. He wanted the type of person that had never been stopped and or abused by police. The jurors were not randomly selected by name like it is supposed to happen. The chance of having six females is already 1 to 64 having 6 people all over 220 pounds is another chance of 1 to 100 then another 1 to 100 for over 45 years. So this jury could randomly occur only 1 in 640,000. See I had just been in the newspaper as the pimp that had beat his arrests every time and that I was suing the cops. This judge wanted to make sure i would no go free this time. When the cop Christina Rodiguez went on the stand she lied under oath, stating she had her siren  and lights on and that I kept driving and speeding. When my attorney showed her, her own police report and deposition were she stated she never had the siren on she just brushed it off as an mistake. Two black jurors were looking at each other like they knew this bitch was lying. Meanwhile, Juge Berman made little remarks as if I was guilty and that's what the verdict should be. And that's what happened Guilty. When the judge get note from the jury he reads it and said "oh good" and he showed his happiness. I got sentenced to six days and taken into custody right away. That's very unusual too. Normally when someone is out on bond they can schedule their sentence or they set it for 6 weeks later so you can handle your personal business and report to jail. Especially since this case was from Dec 95 and dragged out by prosecutors. What was the hurry to lock me up right away? After 3 days I got out I had to put 10,000 bond for appeal. I should and could not have been convicted on perjured testimony alone, their was case law to that effect. I forgot what happened exactly but my new attorney Sid Fleishman got in front of the judge and with prosecutors we worked a deal to the effect that my sentence be changed from six to three days, in effect time served; It would save me several thousand in attorney fees and the conviction was only a misdemenor.

The false marking case:
Judge Adelberto Jordan is probably the most crooked judge in Florida. Sonoco was the company that had stolen my invention regarding the drip free something. Sonoco also had other products that had their own patent numbers on it. After examination of these four patents it turned out that non related to the product. It were patents that pertained to the machine that make the product and or the method of making the product. This is called false marking. The company wanted the public to believe that the product was unique and special because it was patented. A patented product usually sells at a higher price. Any person can sue a company that engages in this fraudulent behavior and have to split the net recovery with the government. Sonoco did not deny the fraud but stated it was "inadvertently". By mistake that means yeah right what a bullshit. In a hearing Judge Jordan heard the arguments and he himself stated on the record that it was an issue of fact if Sonoco had done their wrong doing inadvertently". But instead of setting it for trial he waited a whole year, then dismissed the case. Crooked Jordan stated that since the marking was done inadvertently, Sonoco was not liable. Jordan must have gotten paid a few million. This judge would later mess me up with another case too.

The client case:
I was in newspapers all over the nation. Pimp sues former clients. The case was filed in Federal court and even though their are numerous judges, misterely and concidentally the case went to Dimittreouias. This is the second time this former criminal case county judge takes a case and makes it his case. When I had heard that case was taken by this judge I knew already it would be dismissed. The case: When clients pay with credit cards they sign on a pre-printed credit card slip with the text "this transaction is not for illegal activity". Well when they told the po po under pressure or not that yes indeed they had done some illegal activity such as a hand job with the escort they breached their contract with the escort service. Their breach of contract resulted in my false arrest. Unlike other large escort services, that lady in Baton Rouge, Palfrey in Washington, Mayflower Madam and Heidi Fleiss they all threatened to revel the names of all their clients. I never did that. We of course had 100 some major names as clients. People from the fortune 500, politicians, Judges, cops etc. I never thought a moment of  reveiling names. I am not a snitch. Plus we provide only legitimate sexual service (masturbation shows, role play, massage etc). Fifty clients were approached by the cops before my arrest with the request to rat me out. A few complied, so I sued the snitches, the liars. In all we sued 6 or 7 clients. Three or four we could not serve. Normally you can serve a person in a lawsuit that has no residence or is not traceable by putting an ad in the newspaper. Then he is served with the lawsuit. The Judge Dimitreouias dismissed it. He did this on his own initiative since those clients were not represented. The judge did not explain how we should serve a lawsuit to someone that has no residence and if it can not be done with an ad. It shows this judge is crooked. Then the judge dismissed the whole case. He stated that since I took a "plea of no contest in the related criminal case I must have known the girls were having sex with these clients and I was dismissed from suing". Of course this was a bullshit argument. If these snitches would have kept shut or honored the contract I would have never been in the position to have to take that plea. And no you can not sue the state for false arrest. It is not the same as a plea of guilty. This judge wanted to fuck me over again that's just what it was. I did not sue in the USA. It is all a show. Its all a waste of money on attorney fees. 

1st Credit Card Case:
Frank Quesda is another crooked Judge. I won a jury verdict of 20,000 against a credit card processing company that had terminated me without due notice. The judge set aside the jury verdict and he even convicted me of paying the other sides attorney fees. The case was from 1995 and went in 2001 to trial, six years later. Basically the judge found that a letter modifying the contract was not binding and therefore he over ruled the jury. Why then bother to going to trial? He told my attorney that he never thought I would win this case since I was a pimp as he called me. In trial and during the breaks he made it clear he did not like the type of business. In fact he deemed the business illegal and was surprised that I had the odesity and balls to take it this far. Ok judge I will not use the court system to handle my disputes from now on. Sorry judge I made the mistake of thinking I would get a fair shake in court. Sorry for believing a "pimp" has equal rights and fair access to the legal system. It won't happen again, at least not on my nickel.
