She believed she was signing "permission" papers allowing the new company to pay the mortgage per the divorce decree awarding Cronan responsibility for mortgage payments for four years. While Tiernan and Fagan did pay Cronan's debt to BCSB, they had Merritt sign a note and two mortgages indicating they had given her the money rather than the bank.

In and around May *, * unbeknownst to Merritt and Cronan the Rehoboth note had become due. However Grieco, Tiernan and Fagan would NOT send a notice of default. Rather Grieco puts his efforts into making his second “ loan scam" to his partner, Cronan. Had they sent the notice their scheme would have been unvieled.

Case Rating: *
It sounds like you're dealing with a potentially complex case involving fraudulent loans and lack of disclosure. Here are some points that might be relevant to your situation:
- Grieco, Tiernan, and Fagan's failure to send a notice of default could suggest an attempt to conceal the loan's due status.
- Misrepresentation and nondisclosure of loan details may constitute fraud or breach of fiduciary duty.
To understand better, can you tell me more about the involvement of Merritt and Cronan in this situation?

in this motion once my timeline is complete can i ask the bankrupcty court to stay the writ of execution until after the outcome of theupcoming trail against Grieco submitting the denial of his summary judgement ? how would this benefit the banrupct court in its decision? If Grieco is found quilty for breach of fiudciay duty and 93a claims? How does this affect the writ and the fraud allegations?

Case Rating: *
To address your questions:
- Asking the Court to Stay the Writ of Execution:
- Yes, you can request the bankruptcy court to stay the writ of execution pending the outcome of the trial against Grieco.
- Benefit to the Court: It ensures that any potential liability or damages owed by Grieco are considered before executing the writ.
- Impact if Grieco is Found Guilty:
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty & 93A Claims: If Grieco is found guilty, it may strengthen your position against the writ of execution and support your claims of fraudulent conduct.
- Fraud Allegations: A guilty verdict can substantiate your fraud allegations, potentially leading to additional remedies or damages.
Can you provide more details on the specific nature of the writ of execution? This will help in giving more precise guidance.

so in this motion once I finish the time line I will include the deniel of the summary judgment. additionally Tierna's pending lawsuit is at the discovery reguest and pending trail this summer which opposing counsel stated as well in his motion to oppose. Do you think I have a strong argement to seek a stay? what about the orginal default judgement that ws based on fraud and the breach of fiducairy duty can i add this too?

Case Rating: *
- Yes, you have a strong argument for seeking a stay if you highlight the denial of the summary judgment and the pending lawsuit against Tierna.
- You can also include the original default judgment based on fraud and breach of fiduciary duty to bolster your case.

there are two issues the frad of * Fountains street omitting their intent to buy a $*,* default judgement for $*,* to reduce the damage award that i as a crediot has a more than likely chance of reciveing and the default judgement (which was also based on fraud) . My question if I can prove that * Fountain Street LLC had intentions to keep their ill-gotten gains by using the bankruptcy court to execute a writ would that be an easier decision for the court rather than determining whether to set aside the default judgement? Meaning will the bankrupct court think ots okay for a party to use then to keep their ill-gotten gains?

Case Rating: *
If you can prove that * Fountain Street LLC intended to keep their ill-gotten gains via the bankruptcy court, it could indeed be a significant factor for the court. Fraudulent intent and misuse of the bankruptcy process can strengthen your argument to challenge the default judgment or seek relief.

f I i can prove and show fraudlent intent and misuse of the bankrupct process what narrow relief do I reguest?

Case Rating: *
In Massachusetts, to address fraudulent intent and misuse of the bankruptcy process, you may request the following narrow relief:
- Equitable Relief: Seek the court's intervention to prevent unjust enrichment and rectify the fraudulent actions.
- Stay of Execution: Request a stay on any writ of execution until the fraud allegations are fully resolved.
- Reconsideration of Judgments: Ask the court to reconsider any judgments or approvals given based on the fraudulent information provided.
Do you need further assistance with this information?

ok. Thank you . I must finish the tiemline. Can I attach the full detailed timeline and with the actual motion just show the key events including the bankrupct fruad or no do I include the fulle time in the motion and bold the key events which way is the clearest for the court to see the fruad?

Case Rating: *
To clarify your legal question:
- It is generally more effective to include the full detailed timeline as an attachment to your motion.
- In the actual motion, highlight the key events, including the bankruptcy fraud, by summarizing them and using bold text for emphasis. This makes it easier for the court to see the crucial points at a glance.
Would you like any additional guidance on drafting your motion?

I have a question regarding RICO 's accraul beginnng the stautle of limitations. If the scheme enacted by the lead defendant to acquire the buiness and properteries of the the two plaintiffs has not yet been completed how does the affect the accrual startin the time claock ticking for a RICO claim?

Case Rating: *
The accrual of the statute of limitations for a RICO claim typically begins when the plaintiff discovers, or should have discovered, the injury caused by the predicate acts. Here's how it works:
- The statute of limitations for civil RICO claims is four years.
- The clock starts when the plaintiff discovers, or should have discovered, the injury.
- If the scheme is ongoing and the injury is continual, the clock may not start until the last act of the scheme is complete.
Would you like to know more about how this applies to your specific case?

please define injury for example if I recieved a letters spaniing from * to june * * that the defendants were trying to collect via foreclsoing 0m my two properties and in October * they foreclaosed on one and june * * they sent a letter threatening foreclsoure on the other what constuits injury?

Case Rating: *
In the context of your situation, "injury" for a RICO claim could be defined as:
- Financial loss due to the foreclosure of your property.
- Costs incurred from defending against foreclosure actions.
- Emotional distress and other non-economic damages related to the threatened and actual foreclosure.
Would you like to be connected to local lawyers who can better assist you with your case?

im not sure then is my eviction of the property the injury or when the defendants transferred title . It seems to me that transfer of title is an act and not damages .

Case Rating: *
The injury in your case could be interpreted in different ways. Here are the possibilities:
- Eviction from the Property: If you were evicted, that event could be considered an injury.
- Transfer of Title: If the transfer of title resulted in financial loss or other damages, it could be part of the injury.
Would you like to provide further details about the eviction or the transfer of title? This could help clarify the situation.

what about if i calimed injury in state claims but the dfendants committed obstruction of justice barring me from relief including bankrupct fraud would these new predicate RICO acts allow me claims arising past the statutue of limiations? For example one of the plaintiffs filed a state court action for breach of partnership in *. howver recently he has discovered that the defendants jave obstructed justice by filing fabricated financial documents into the court.

Case Rating: *
In Massachusetts, the discovery of new predicate acts such as obstruction of justice and bankruptcy fraud can potentially toll (pause) the statute of limitations for RICO claims. This means that if you can prove these new acts, you might be able to extend the time frame within which you can file your claims. Here are some key points:
- Discovery Rule: The statute of limitations for RICO claims generally starts when you discover, or should have discovered, the injury caused by the predicate acts.
- Tolling Due to Fraud: If the defendants' actions to obstruct justice or commit fraud prevented you from discovering the injury, this could toll the statute of limitations.
Do you need more information on how to present these new predicate acts in your claims?

Case Rating: *
