Dear Australian Federal Police Commander Linda Champion and AFP Agent Brett (James?)
Our witnesses like the Waldron-Sgargetta Family of the USA, NZ & Australia went to the American SEC Office of the Whistleblower about tip offs from insiders in the Victorian Legal Services Board & Commission Law Institute on cases that later had "the FBI jump out of the bushes" on people like CBA Computer IT Manager Jon Waldron.
The Victorian Legal Services Board suddenly wanted information for known con artists about politicians who want a Royal Commission and a revamped Queensland Crime Commission and a ICAC into white collar crimes, international bribery and banking, organised crime etc.
They demanded information about investigative reporters doing some shows like 60 Minutes' coverage on the Bankwest/CBA Merger, ANZ/Landmark Merger, Charlie Phillott's Case against the ANZ & Gadens, and stories run by Alan Jones.
Preposterously goons used a story that a landlord was evicted as the basis to 'justify' all these attempts to hunt what whistleblowers, witnesses at the SEC "Tip Off" Centre and Politicians and Reporters were looking into. Surely real ethics lawyers at the VLSB know that landlords can't be evicted. The pretext was transparent you'd think. The interest in what the tenant had on a farm was very suspicious. The interest in what anti pedophile locals in Lake Entrance might get from a tenant's farm was very very suspicious.
The VLSB ignored warnings they were aiding people who claimed to use standover 'debt collectors' with 'helpful' lawyers like a firm called Dean Jones Eales & McKenzie and his friend Hibbert Hodges. (They don't serve Summonses, they get Judgement in Default of a Defence, and then they get a Receiver Appointed as a scam rort of the legal system. Criminal Receivers, dodgy lawyers and of course the 'debt collection mediation company' get fees and 'commission').
As soon as the arrests of Jon Waldron and Keila Ravelo and Mel Feliz took place, the Legal Services Board threatened our witnesses, tried to set them up to say they breach jailable 'unqualified lawyering laws' by advising builders on contracts, and they 'spied' on what the FBI "IC" Agent and the SEC called about. They threatened to jail Elliot Sgargetta for 2 years because he wanted Sydney bank lawyers charged with perjury. The ethics lawyers ignored a Judges' ruling that said Trevor McTaggart's people were only tenants and had to leave the farm.
We think the Legal Services Board are up to their ears in something odorous. Kelvin Thomson MP, for example, sent the fraud squad in to shut down a boiler room scam 'lawyer' Trevor Mctaggart because Kelvin couldn't work out why the Legal Services Board people let him screw $30,000,000 in 'legal fees' from 20,000,000 victims of a boiler room scam. Telemarketers posed as workers comp 'lawyers', ....and the legal ethics board did nothing. How can a legal services board let boiler room 'lawyers' off the hook.
They wanted to know about cases that had Reserve Bank Documents in them, like US and 17 States v American Express Mastercard and Visa Inc. The "ethics lawyers who help crims" wanted to know about the undercover drug operation on people like Keila Ravelo's drug ring husband, and the colusion by the lawyers on the Anti-trust cases. (It's in the Tip Off reports at the American SEC).
We're very worried that the legal services board are use to spy for Trimbole's favourite liquidator Rathner, McTaggart's friends who visit Asian Orphanages, and the bribe payers in cases like the one Ian Narev admitted in Parliament he knew about. We're suspicious that Gatto Collections made 'innocent' inquiries on the day before McTaggart's client was in Court. We're suspicious that all the insider share tips on Amex came true.
We'd like charges to be laid on these "ethics lawyers". Their own 'whistleblowers to SEC Wh

Southern District of New York Notice of a Pending Class Action Lawsuit and Proposed Settlement To: Foreign Transaction Fee Claimants IMPORTANT:If you submitted a claim concerning foreign transaction fees as part of the settlement in In re Currency Conversion Fee Antitrust Litig., MDL 1409, you may also be a class member in a second class action called Ross, et al. v. American Express Co., et al. This notice contains information about your rights and options in a class action lawsuit. You are receiving this notice because you submitted a claim in connection with a class action lawsuit titled In re Currency Conversion Fee Antitrust Litig., MDL 1409 (CCF I), and you, therefore, may also be a member of an FX Damages Class certified by the Court in a second, related action, titled Ross, et al. v. American Express Co., et al. (Ross v. American Express). Both lawsuits concern fees or surcharges imposed by certain banks for the use of a Visa, MasterCard and/or Diners Club credit or charge card to make a transaction in a foreign currency and/or with a foreign merchant. CCF I was settled in 2006. This notice is not about the refunds for valid, timely claims submitted in connection with the CCF I settlement. Instead, this notice provides you with information about membership in the FX Damages Class in Ross v. American Express and a proposed settlement of the claims of that FX Damages Class. What is Ross v. American Express about? Ross v. American Express is about the prices that cardholders of certain Visa, MasterCard and Diners Club credit and charge cards were charged to make transactions denominated in a foreign currency or with a foreign merchant, including purchases, cash advances, cash withdrawals, and internet transactions. Ross v. American Express does not involve American Express credit or charge cards; only certain Visa, MasterCard and/or Diners Club credit and/or charge cards are covered. Plaintiffs in this lawsuit claim that American Express conspired in violation of the antitrust laws with certain banks that issue Visa, MasterCard and/or Diners Club credit and charge cards to set and conceal fees on foreign transactions. The banks are Bank of America, Bank One/First USA, Chase, Citibank, Diners Club, HSBC/Household, MBNA and Washington Mutual/ Providian. Plaintiffs seek money damages and restitution for the FX Damages Class. American Express denies the Plaintiffs claims and says it has done nothing wrong, improper, or unlawful. On March 29, 2011, the Court denied American Expresss motion for summary judgment on all of the Plaintiffs claims in this lawsuit. Trial on this claim is scheduled to begin in May 2012. Plaintiffs also claim that American Express conspired with the banks listed above to add arbitration clauses in connection with credit or charge cards issued by those banks. This notice does not concern the arbitration clause claim, which seeks injunctive relief only. A separate class has been certified with respect to that arbitration claim, and your decision to remain a member of the FX Damages Class described in this notice, or to opt-out as described below, will not affect any rights you may have concerning the arbitration clause claim. Why am I receiving this notice? You are receiving this notice because you may be a member of this second FX Damages Class. You are a member of the FX Damages Class if:
You used a Visa, MasterCard and/or a Diners Club credit or charge card between July 22, 2000 and November 8, 2006, and were assessed a fee or surcharge for using your card to purchase goods and/or services priced in foreign currencies or in foreign countries, and
The card you used was issued by one of the following banks: Bank of America, Bank One/First USA, Chase, Citibank, Diners Club, HSBC/Household, MBNA or Washington Mutual/Providian, and
You submitted a claim as part of the CCF I settlement, and your claim was not rejected by the Settlement Administrator. If the claim you submitted in CCF I was rejected because you missed the claim submission deadline in that settlement, you may still be a member of this second FX Damages Class, provided that your claim was submitted on or before October 31, 2011. What is the proposed settlement? American Express has agreed in principle to create a settlement fund of $49,500,000 to pay claims by the members of the FX Damages Class, attorneys fees and expenses to Class Counsel, and the costs of administering the settlement and notice. Plaintiffs will also ask the Court to award up to $70,000 from the settlement fund to the two class representatives for their efforts on behalf of the class. The lawyers for the FX Damages Class will request a maximum of 25% of the settlement fund, plus interest, for attorneys fees and they will request a reimbursement of their expenses, not to exceed $1,500,000, and the cost of notice and settlement administration, to be paid from the fund. The lawsuit will continue with respect to Plaintiffs arbitration claims. The proposed settlement is still subject to final documentation and approval by the Court. If the proposed settlement is approved and you do not exclude yourself from the FX Damages Class, you will not be able to sue American Express with respect to the claims of the FX Damages Class because those claims will be released.
