NEWS FLASH; April 7 2011
Mid day break
Jimmy the Patsy DelNegro finished giving his memorized bullshit answers to Crockett’s softball questions – and then took a deep breath as the Plyam’s attorney rose to start the cross-examination.
The first question was “Where is Precision Development’s corporate office located”? Now this should have been easy.
(Remember, he’s supposedly the President of this company).
Jimmy first said it was in Clifton Park. Then, showing obvious signs of strain and starting to perspire heavily, he added that it was on Plank Road.
But when pressed for the actual street number, Jimmy (Bob-didn’t-give-me-that-info) DelNegro said: “I’m not sure.”
REALLY?? A COMPANY WITH $26 MILLION OF REAL ESTATE AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE THE FUCKING OFFICE IS LOCATED?
Unfortunately, this is when the judge adjourned for lunch.
Drink up your lunch, Jimmy, it’s going to be a loooooooooooong afternoon!
Update April 6 2011
DelNegro was only n the stand for about 40 minutes – and, with one exception, didn’t say anything that interesting. The one exception concerned the fact that he said Frank Parlato had stolen a truck that belonged to Yuri.
Tomorrow should be a lot more interesting.
Quick update; Jim the Patsy DelNegro is on the stand
Crockett looked pissed from the moment he walked into the courtroom today and things quickly went downhill for him and the Bronfman brats.
The proceedings began with Dennis Riley questioning Plyam about several aspects of the Precision Development project. Right off the bat, the judge allowed in several emails that Yuri had sent to Raniere about the project. Included with these emails were numerous pictures of project sites and equipment, and details about the company’s day to day operations.
Next came a series of emails showing that ON AT LEAST 8 OCCASIONS Yuri had tried to get Raniere to sign off on an operating agreement that recognized the Bronfmans owned 1/3 of the project. (Per each of those agreements, Yuri was to own 1/3 and Nancy Salzman, who Clare described as the Bronfmans’ Project Advisor, was to own 1/3). Even Clare seemed startled to find out that, contrary to what Raniere had been telling her, Plyam had always recognized that she and her sister were supposed to have an ownership interest in the project.
After about 5 hours of testimony and evidence that was clearly in the Plyams’ favor, Crockett launched his counter-attack. This started about 2:30 local time.
Believe it or not (and only Steve I-just-learned-about-the-World-Wide-Web Coffey would buy into this pile of shit), Crockett’s main argument was that Plyam had fabricated all of the emails the judge had already admitted into evidence. And to prove this, he pointed out that all of printed out copies of those emails had dates on the bottom of each page that had occurred in 2010 or 2011.
THAT’S THE DATE THEY WERE PRINTED YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!! AND, SINCE YOU’VE HAD A COPY OF THE HARD DRIVE FROM YURI’S COMPUTER FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF THOSE EMAILS ARE REAL.
Even the judge looks like he thinks Crockett should be admitted for observation at a local mental health clinic. Several times, the judge was just shaking his head after one of the many “side bar” discussions that Robert had demanded was over.
The only other significant development is that the judge decided not to allow testimony by 2 of the Bronfman’s “expert witnesses” because the issues they were going to testify about are no longer relevant. And why is that, you ask? That’s because at the beginning of the trial, Crockett decided to drop the company that had actually been doing the construction work. “Gee, Clare, sorry that I had you and Sara shell out millions of dollars for these witnesses, only to find out we can’t use them.”
Crockett, you may end up on the wrong end of one hell of a malpractice suit before this whole fiasco is over. Maybe it will be Stevie who brings that lawsuit. I was really hoping I would see some first class lawyering but you have been little more than a shrill, loudmouth. God I feel sorry for Mrs. Crockett and Mrs. Crockett and Mrs. Crockett and young Mrs. Crockett and old Mrs. Crockett and your favorite Mrs. Crockett.
One other bit of excitement as one of Crockett’s assistants informed the judge that someone in the courtroom had been recording the proceedings and the judge announced that if it happened again, he would have the recorder confiscated. (So much for open courtrooms and freedom of the press). This will come as a big surprise to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press whose published guidelines (here) indicate that in California, “conversations that occur at any public gathering where one could expect to be overheard, including any legislative, judicial, or executive proceeding open to the public, are not covered” by that State’s non-recording statute.
Crockett, I’m not recording anything you fucking moron. I’m not even taken notes.
Oh yeah, and Jimmy the Patsy DelNegro looked ill. Great big grins for the jury but sweating like a pig. And today should be the day that Jimmy the Patsy boy takes the stand!

How can Raniere claim to believe one of the top three problem solvers in the world and anyone believe him with a straight face? He sounds inept to me.
dumb question, but how is there an argument over who owned the project?
the girls invested the money, they own it. am i missing something.
The quick and dirty on the ownership issue as I understand it: the project was Yuri's brainchild. Salzman (aka Raniere) helped hook up Yuri with the Bronfman's to provide financial backing for the project and pushed to expand the project beyond the original scope. So after costs are repaid (the Bronfman's upfront $), profits go 1/3 to the Bronfman's as the financial investors, 1/3 to the Plyam's for doing the actual project management work and making it happen, and 1/3 to Salzman (aka Raniere) for being the middleman that put all this together. Of course, if you cut off funding before the project is completed, then nobody gets the final payoff and everybody gets mad and starts pointing fingers and lawsuits ensue and eventually (I predict) all those fingers point back to Raniere - oops! Salzman (behind whom Raniere is hiding since he would never risk his own money or put his name on anything for which he could be held legally responsible). Woohoo! What fun - it's better than going to the circus.

reports great john
so this plyman guy was a commodities broker?
salzman is a brainwasher
bronfman is a horse jumper
some other guy is a movie filmer
And they wonder why the project fail. did they at least hire a developer or was plyman running the point?
"God I feel sorry for Mrs. Crockett and Mrs. Crockett and Mrs. Crockett and young Mrs. Crockett and old Mrs. Crockett and your favorite Mrs. Crockett."
this had me rolling. Great one, John.
It sounds like Crockett will need that gasket repair kit. The two experts whose testimony was excluded must have been David McKinney and Rex Edmonds, construction experts. Their whole thrust would have been to urge that Yuri did not know what he was doing and wasted the Bronfmans' money in the course of construction of the Precision homes. Waste the Bronfmans' money? McKinney and Edmonds' "help" for the Bronfmans in the lawsuit cost, conservatively, hundreds of thousands of dollars. The scope of the Precision project was Rainere's brainchild. Plyam had been doing some small scale hillside development on good lots in the L.A. area and Lake Arrowhead about which he told Rainere over the course of their many trading-initiated phone calls. Rainere pushed the participation of the Bronfman sisters, and, in typical narcissistic fashion, pushed the scale of the project into grandiose proportions. Because the sisters had "no experience in business" and "should learn," Rainere pushed their involvement with Plyam whom Rainere considered "ethical." That is, until Rainere's commodities gambling looked as though it was going to (as it did) deplete the sisters' fortune. When it came to a choice between directing the Bronfmans to spend money on Precision or spend money on satisfying margin calls so that trading could continue, guess which way he went? And where Keith goes, so do Clare and Sara. Side note: as Clare appears to be the more "dedicated" of the two, it is no surprise that she is the only one attending the proceedings. As it appears Sara is less enthralled to the Vanguard, she would have a harder time stomaching the real-life reality experience being meted out in L.A. Superior Court. Were she to crack in the middle of the proceedings because she was able, more than her sister, to process the split between what she was been told by Vanguard, Kristin and Salzman on one hand and what apparently has been coming into evidence on the other, the illumination of the light bulb in Sara's mind could pose problems that not even Crockett's depth of denial could hardly manage.
Bobbie Crockett-I-can-run-a-hundred-miles 850.00 per hour fee to procure my super brain just went down the tube.
Bobbie you will be lucky if you can get 250.00 an hour after this case is over.
Too bad your too old and weak for Cirque du Soleil. Defending Raniere, Salzman, the girls and their comrades is as close to a circus act you'll ever get.
You should stick to bona fide litigation Bobby boy if you want a legitimate reputation.
Soon you could have your own website just like the one of the other Bronfman attorneys do.
You know them, the ones who continue the fight you were not smart enough to take on. You know the one against Bouchey in the Bronfman v Bouchey.

After a day in court, Jimmy-don't-back-the-bus-over-me-please-Clair Coughs up that Frank-I-isn’t-a-thug-Parlato had stolen a truck that belonged to Yuri.
Here is what Bark Bark has to say about this
Bark Bark Bark
Ya, I agree girl, it’s a bit late for Jimmy to drop a bomb about knowing a crime was committed.
Bark Bark Bark
Really, that would be a good question to ask Jimmy. What proof do you have Frankie had stolen the truck
Bark Bark Bark
Hum… that’s a good question girl, why would Jimmy boy not report a crime to the police when it happened. What kind of person would do that
Bark Bark Bark
Hum… maybe Crocket would know. If Jimmy knows a crime has been committed and does not report it to the police, is he guilty of his own crime? Not reporting the truck theft did helps Frankie evade the crime.
Bark Bark Bark
You are so Smart girl, maybe you can get Crockets job when he gets fired at this law firm
The U.S. criminal code makes aiding and abetting a federal crime itself a crime
(a) Whoever aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures the commission of an offense, is punishable as a principal.
(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense, is punishable as a principal.
A person may be convicted of aiding and abetting any act made criminal under the code. The elements of aiding and abetting are, generally:
(1) guilty knowledge on the part of the accused ( the mens rea);
(2) the commission of an offense by someone; and
(3) the defendant assisted or participated in the commission of the offense (the actus reus).
Bar Bark Bark…. Grrrrr….. Arrrrr….
Yes girl, Jimmy is in a heap of trouble and they must have something they are holding over his head to get him to admit to being an accessory to a crime
Bark Bark Bark
Oh…. hum…. jiminy cricket girl, do you really think he could be "just stupid", and was told to set Frankie up on the stand without knowing he was throwing himself under the bus at the same time
Bark Bark Bark
Say what..... it save Clare from having to drive the bus.... very funny girl
Espians are always blabbing about determining whether their feelings are consistent with reality, and if they aren't then those feelings should be considered wrong. Yet, when these same adherents are asked to apply the same standards to their so-called "ethical" leaders, like Raniere or Salzman, or the group itself, they continue to live in a fantasy. Despite all the negative press, all the exposure, they still persist in their delusions.
Talk about double think.
Our culture is full of double think by design. Easier to manipulate the masses using psychology rather than physical oppression.
Keith Raniere takes it to a new level, puts his own stamp on these methods
Posted here before but if time permits this is an enlightening bbc documentary.
The Century of the Self
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6718420906413643126#
The story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays.
Bernays invented the public relations profession in the 1920s and was the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires.

THAT’S THE DATE THEY WERE PRINTED YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!! AND, SINCE YOU’VE HAD A COPY OF THE HARD DRIVE FROM YURI’S COMPUTER FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS, YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF THOSE EMAILS ARE REAL.
This is deliberate, he wanted to test the judge and the court, Mr Crockett tries to use is MORON-RADAR to see how big are the lies he can say...
You've been unveiled, you future ex-attorney Mr Crockett that is wiping his own ass with his license for being so naive.
Crockett is clearly a BIG FAT LIAR THAT FEELS ABSOLUTELY NO SHAME. His only preoccupation is the way he can serve his LIES.
That's why is paid that much : He's a KAMIKAZE...
I think Crockett deserve the title of KAMIKAZE ATTORNEY of the decade !
Note to Jimmy the Crickett:
You're fucked. My advice? Head to Tiajuana tomorrow and hope that Raniere will give you a couple of those hot Mexican NXIVM chicks to bone. The alternative? Come back to New York and get served with 3 subpoenas.
A group is typically the reflection of its leader. This group's leader is all about "me me me" as he doesn't seem to give a crap about anyone except himself. He'll throw anyone and everyone under the bus to save himself.
The funny thing is that, despite the fact that you make fun of their leader, ESPians probably read this site constantly because its the only source of information about what is going on with the case and Raniere in general.
Anyway, she must have died trying. Wish this were a little more private, and easier to reach you. Hey, I saw your little girl today. Anyway, Vera, wish you were here.
I mean, ya gotta feel sorry fo' the farmer in the del negro. I mean, he is so set up here. I mean, if it weren't for the fuckkin' feedin' frenzy on the Bronfman bucks, an ole farmer in the dell, not leadein' all of us, if not that ole raniere, what ya say? ...no, ya don't dare, clare, well, dell, what the hell? Yah, gonna lose, ya can always appeal.
14 is new 12, my how they keep gettin' younger these days.

"I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal."
Crockett knows this quote from scripture and misapplies it. In the court transcripts posted here Bob Crockett is shown creating confusion and upset in the court room. Confuse, cloud, clobber. Only give milk, never meat. That's Bob Crockett's m.o. - endless moron testing.
Hi. I'm Joe Smith.
I am the CEO of a multi-million dollar company. I don't know it's legal name. I don't even know what state it was incorporated in or in what legal form. I don't even know what the hell you're asking me.
I'm not quite sure where the office is. It might be our bookkeeper's office on that street near Denny's in Clifton Park. I'm not sure.
No, I don't know what bank we use. Who are our corporate officers, you ask? You mean officers, as in policemen? I don't think we have any policemen.
No, I don't know what we really do. I think we just make bitches write checks for shit and then talk to lawyers about it afterwords.
I don't even know who our Board of Directors is. Hell, I don't even know what a Board of Directors does.
But, yep: I'm the CEO!
For my bonus, I even me got a ho!
Can I go home now? You guys make me nervous.
Thank you John
