Here is what the original complaint and lawsuit alleged!

"In the present case, Ballew alleges that the DOJ attorneys conspired with the USCG (and the defendants in the Underlying Qui Tam) to mislead the court as to the true nature, extent and value of the Underlying Qui Tam settlement proceeds. This scheme, by which the integrity of the judicial process was fraudulently subverted, had a negative impact far greater than that suffered by Ballew. In fact, in his First Amended Complaint, Ballew specifically alleged that the Government:

  1. defiled the Court in such a way that the judicial machinery could not perform in its usual manner;

  2. injured the American public by concealing the massive mechanical and structural defects of the SRR helicopters (and corresponding private sector helicopters) designed, manufactured and serviced by the Underlying Qui Tam defendants; and

  3. injured American taxpayers by propagating the DOJ scheme of not involving qui tam relators in settlement negotiations, not disclosing the true nature, extent and value of qui tam settlement proceeds, and using strong-arm tactics at the conclusion of successful False Claims Act cases to minimize qui tam relators' statutory share of qui tam recoveries. This scheme acts as a disincentive to potential qui tam relators to come forward and report fraud on the United States Government which, in turn, injures American taxpayers."

The Judge openly stated that she wasn't neutral (immediately before her decision.)

On December 15, 2000, the Appeals Court panel hearing our appeal rendered an opinion. It was predicated by a disturbing public statement by one of our judges, on Thursday, September 21, 2000 (in the presence of the public and the full court which was hearing arguments in a different qui tam case). Our judge expressed her clear and unmistakeable bias against anyone that attempted to exhaust ther legal rights in a fraud case against the government. In contrast with the law's stated recourse, here is what she said:

    "What troubled me is the relators can pursue these qui tam actions. ... They go on for years and years and years," said Judge Edith Jones. "And the government couldn't get them to stop."

Should she have disqualified herself?

Did the Judge even read the complaint shown above?

Page 6, Footnote # 2: "As Beggerly suggests, Rule 60(b)(3) would be directly applicable to Ballew's alleged situation, permitting relief "from a final judgment... [because of] fraud ...misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party;" but by waiting over nine years to assert that the Government committed fraud in entering into the underlying qui tam settlement, Ballew lost the option of bringing a 60(b)(3) motion. Similarly, to the extent Ballew's allegations might have supported relief based on Rule 60(b)(1) ("mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect"), or Rule 60(b)(2) (newly discovered, evidence), they are also time-barred."

Page 9: "Ballew has failed to plead any grave miscarriage of justice. In the absence of a grave miscarriage of justice, a Rule 60(b) independent action can not be sustained. The district court's dismissal of Ballew's action for failure to state a claim is therefore AFFIRMED."

Edith H. Jones, Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals For The Fifth Circuit, No. 99-11308, before JOLLY, JONES, and SMITH, Circuit Judges, Robert C. Ballew, Plaintiff-Appellant versus United States Department of Justice and United States Coast Guard, Defendants-Appellees, On Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Civil Docket #4:99-CV-406-Y.

My God! How can she be so arrogant as to make these statements in light of the specific and exact wording of my claim of a "grave miscarriage of justice" in the main document she is tasked with using. How can the following not be a "grave miscarriage of justice":


    1. The Executive Branch agency and DOJ encroached and "hijacked" the Legislative Branch's Congressional right to draft and write law by setting internal policies and customs that clearly violate the mandatory language of the False Claims Act ("Shall" is used 35 times. It can not be misunderstood!) and did not deliver the "proceeds of the action or settlement of the claim" to the Treasury Department as required by law. (See Plaut v. Spendthrift Et. Al., 514 USC 211, 115 S.Ct. 147);.
    2. The Executive Branch agency and DOJ encroached and "hijacked" the Judicial Branch Court's right to decide a "fair and reasonable settlement" by not identifying and disclosing the entire pool of forfeitures and alternate remedies which were the true "proceeds of the action or settlement of the claim", violating the Constitution's Separation of Powers conditions (See Plaut v. Spendthrift Et. Al., 514 USC 211, 115 S.Ct. 147);
    3. The DOJ did not include all of the defendant's forfeitures in the reovery "pool";
    4. The money did not go into the Treasury Department's General Fund as required by law, but instead, the value was diverted back to the defrauded agency, without the required checks and balances of oversite by Congress, as specifically required by the law;
    5. The public and other operators were not made aware of all of the systemic defects and unauthorized changes (safety of flight issues) to the helicopter system;
    6. The taxpayers are now paying the defendants and their successors to fix the defendant's own defects, at twice the normal or market rate and, to this day, have not been given the truth; and
    7. The original source Plaintiff would be morally required to tell anyone being placed in this position to never trust the FBI, DOJ or Courts system.

Apparently not, so "on we went" to the Supreme Court:

 
CURRENT EVENT -
 
Supreme Court Filing, "Fraud On The Court By Officers Of The Court" - 05/15/01.
CURRENT EVENT - A New and Independent FCA Disclosure Was Made To Document This Governmental Abuse Pattern and Guess What Happened... The FBI Destroyed The New FCA Disclosure Documents - 05/21/01. (Pattern of abuse?)

The Supreme Court refused to review the case. The taxpayers lost:

Click Here to see the Supreme Court's negative notification to me. We have exhausted our legal remedies and, so, the taxpayers suffer a loss of 100% of the undisclosed "proceeds of the action or settlement of the claim..." and this scheme is secretely used on a regular basis to avoid the oversight of Congress and the taxpaying public. This is outrageous and it is my final opinion that it is up to Congress and the Treasury Department to stop this massive and fraudulent conversion of billions of taxpayer dollars. Never trust the Executive Branch Agencies, the Department of Justice or the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

This scenario is repeated, over and over again, in fraud lawsuits under the False Claims Act when they are investigated by the FBI and litigated by the Justice Department.

Finally, don't believe me. Click here to read just a few comments by angry courts when they caught the government playing this disgusting game and flaunting it in the Congress and the taxpayers' faces.

To those individuals and organizations endorsing the aggrandizement and expansion of trust and domestic powers to the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation, please reconsider. Their documented actions prove that they cannot be blindly trusted.

It is my opinion, after 15 years of direct engagement, involvement and research, that certain persons in controlling positions in these agencies have a proven track record of absolute abuse, bad faith and intentional misconduct.



Medical Fraud - Simular DOJ Treatment!

Over $640 Million was recovered in private, civil qui tam lawsuits... which consisted of fraud on the government (which the FBI, DOJ, and government agency did not prevent, discover, or eliminate) but the DOJ is fighting the qui tam Plaintiffs in court to keep from having to pay them their $96 Million.
