Dem senators question Giuliani's relationship with OxyContin maker

 

Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) sent separate letters to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) this week asking whether Giuliani’s work years ago on behalf of both agencies while he was representing Purdue Pharma may have led to unduly lenient treatment for the company.

 

The Senators asked for DEA and DOJ to respond by Sept. 21.

A Tampa whistleblower is suing the Barry A. Cohen, the lawyer who represented him in a major whistleblower lawsuit in 2017.

 

A Tampa whistleblower is suing his lawyers, saying their missteps cost him potentially millions of dollars in his 2011 case.

 

Former pharmaceutical sales representative Brian Vinca alleges in a case filed Aug. 15 in Hillsborough County circuit court that he should not have had to share his portion of a $350 million settlement reached last year in his whistleblower case.

 

The charges stem from 2011, when Vinca accused his previous employer, Advanced BioHealing, of illegally paying medical providers to use its human skin substitute, Dermagraft.

 

Vinca maintains he should have been entitled to at least $52 million under whistleblower statutes, which set aside 15 to 25 percent of a settlement to the first whistleblower who identifies a pattern of abuse.

 

But he won’t get that amount under the current settlement. The Department of Justice, which had intervened in the settlement, listed eight other whistleblowers who would share in the reward for bringing pertinent information about the wrongdoing, namely identifying Medicaid and Department of Veteran’s Affiars fraud.

 

Vinca said he and his co-filer, Jennifer Sweeney, provided that same information to their lawyers, Tampa’s Barry A. Cohen. Cohen omitted it from the original lawsuit despite having sufficient documentation to do so, the lawsuit said.

 

"They provided an abundance of documentation," Vinca’s lawer, Tampa’s Noel McDonell, said.

 

What’s more, Cohen, the lawsuit said, allowed a disbarred lawyer to give Vinca and Sweeney advice and legal guidance, which disbarred lawyers are not allowed to do.

 

Cohen could not be reached Thursday for comment.

 

Vinca is seeking a jury trial.

> All I've seen for evidence is that footnote in the screenshot about the comparison to 2006 or something which could be bogus.

Start by pulling up this 'bogus' report and reading it for yourself….

and retired FBI agent had this to say when it was 9,000

 

According to Marc Ruskin, a former FBI undercover agent and author of “The Pretender: My Life Undercover for the FBI,” it’s unclear whether the current sealed indictments are connected, but the high number is something he never saw in his 27 years as an agent.

 

Ruskin said the large number of sealed indictments may explain the relatively low profile maintained by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “If he’s been occupied with an initiative that is sort of under wraps and being conducted covertly, it would explain why he hasn’t had a prominent position in the media as of late—because these are things he can’t talk about,” Ruskin said.

 

Ruskin said that among the causes mentioned for the surge of sealed indictments, the most plausible, he believes, is that it is related to human trafficking. Even his work investigating the mafia didn’t generate anywhere near as many sealed indictments as those currently pending; but with a human trafficking network, he said, there would be multiple groups operating in multiple districts—which fits the profile.

 

This would also fall in line with recent actions of President Donald Trump, who on Dec. 21, 2017, signed an executive order declaring a national emergency over human rights abuses and corruption. Trump declared January 2018 as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

 

Ruskin said: “It would be consistent with the large number of sealed indictments, because it is a problem that’s nationwide. If there was a national initiative involving the Justice Department, and the FBI and ICE, let’s say, focused on that issue, then that would be a crime problem that would be bi-coastal and would involve multiple districts.”

 

“That could plausibly account for all the sealed indictments,” Ruskin said. “That would be more plausible than most other explanations.”

And they aren't blank documents. They are actual cases and an actual Judge in every district sees the filings and is in charge of the sealed docket.

Treasury Sanctions Three ISIS Recruiters from Southeast Asia

 

Action Targets Radicals Engaged in Beheading Video and Follows UN Designation

 

Washington – The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action today by designating three senior Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) recruiters: Mohamad Rafi Udin (Udin), Mohammed Karim Yusop Faiz (Faiz), and Mohammad Reza Lahaman Kiram (Kiram). Udin, Faiz, and Kiram have urged individuals in Southeast Asia to join ISIS and were featured in an official ISIS beheading video, where they executed captives held by ISIS.

 

“Treasury is targeting ISIS recruiters who have engaged in a beheading video and other brutal acts as part of a propaganda campaign to attract radicals to join militant terrorist groups in Southeast Asia,” said Sigal Mandelker, Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. “We are sanctioning these terrorists along with our UN and international partners as part of a coordinated effort to counter ISIS’s global networks that enable the group to recruit foreign fighters to conduct international terrorist attacks.”
