Filing a federal complaint could be a strategic move, especially if you have strong evidence of fraud and misconduct Here are some key points to consider: - Forensic Accountant's Report: While it doesn't directly address the foreclosure deed, it establishes a pattern of fraudulent activities and fiduciary breaches by James Tiernan. - Aiding and Abetting: The attorney's involvement in filing fraudulent foreclosure documents could be seen as aiding and abetting the securities fraud scheme. - Securities Fraud: Misuse of IRA funds for personal gain and fraudulent loan notes constitute securities fraud.
It sounds like you have significant grounds for a RICO violation claim. Massachusetts law, as well as federal regulations, heavily penalize fraudulent activities and breaches of fiduciary duty.
Do you have a legal counsel to assist you in filing this federal complaint, or are you seeking recommendations for legal representation?
I think that i want to write my motion and then send it to RICO attorney to see if that want the case. Does this sound reasonable? Question is ther another Act or Law that entails a scheme to defaud that a private party can go under to sue for damnages?
It sounds like you have a solid foundation for a RICO violation claim. Besides RICO, you might also consider the following:
- Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A): This Massachusetts law allows private parties to sue for damages caused by unfair or deceptive practices.
Have you considered consulting with a forensic accountant to strengthen your evidence?
I have a report of a forensic accounatnt reporting commingling of funds, tax evasion, ambezzlement.
You seem to have a strong case with considerable evidence. The Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A) in Massachusetts is another powerful tool for addressing fraudulent schemes. You might also consider:
- Fraudulent Transfer Act: Addresses asset transfers made to defraud creditors.
- Common Law Fraud: Allows private parties to sue for damages caused by deceitful practices.
Have you already drafted your motion, or do you need assistance with that process?
Transfers made to defraud debto would be more appropriate. My problem. I have an attorney against the private lender but not the IRA or the attorney for breach of contract, illegal foreclsoure, usury and 93a. My attorney states that regarding damages since I "recieved " benefit from the illegal loan that the court may deduct that amount from my equity in the property. But I am just now understanding that although I signed a note (puported) the lender was an IRA that bought my defaulted debt from my bank and then siad bu executing the note with my signature that I was a borrowere and the IRA was the lender. Then put a lien on my property but I never got any funds.
You seem to have a strong case with multiple layers of potential legal violations.
To gain better clarity, have you consulted with a RICO attorney or another legal expert specifically about the IRA's actions and the potential fraudulent lien?
I find it difficul becuase i already have an attorney so i dont really know hoe to navigate this becuase my attorny is wrong in the way thats hes looking at the note.
It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation involving multiple legal issues. One question to better understand your situation:
Have you considered getting a second opinion from another attorney who specializes in RICO or fraud cases?
This might provide clarity and help you decide on the best course of action.
Can i get a second opion legally? I did not think an attorney would talk to another attorney's client?
Yes, you can legally seek a second opinion from another attorney. It is common for individuals to consult multiple attorneys to ensure they get the best advice. Make sure to inform the second attorney about your current representation and the specifics of your situation.
Would you like any guidance on how to approach this second opinion?
yes i would like guidance.
Sure, seeking a second opinion is a smart move. Here's how you can approach it:
- Inform your current attorney about your intention to seek a second opinion.

Would you like recommendations on finding a RICO or fraud attorney in Massachusetts?
how do i inform my attorney about getting a second opinion ; int going to hurt our relationship?
It's understandable to be concerned about maintaining a good relationship with your current attorney. Here’s a simple and respectful way to inform your attorney:
"I appreciate all the work you've done on my case so far. To ensure we're on the best possible path, I'm planning to seek a second opinion. This isn't a reflection on your work, but rather a step to confirm our strategy."
Would you like any further advice on this?
then i go say that i want to understand more about securities frad.
Securities fraud involves deceptive practices in the stock or commodities markets, often resulting in significant financial loss. Here are some key points:
- Misrepresentation: Providing false information or failing to disclose crucial details.
- Insider Trading: Trading based on non-public, material information.
- Market Manipulation: Artificially inflating or deflating stock prices.
Would you like more detailed information on any of these points?
Isnt a self directed IRA a security?
A self-directed IRA itself is not a security, but the investments made within the IRA can be securities. For example:
- Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are securities.
- Real estate and private loans are not securities.
Do you need more information on how this relates to your case?
oH> OK> So what type of fruad does this fall under: an IRA owner or custodian, Im not sure, ( Pensco Trust Company custodian for James tiernan) get the IRA company to committ larceny or take part in a real estate scheme to defraud a consumer?
This situation could involve multiple types of fraud, including:
- Securities Fraud: If IRA funds were misused for personal gain.
- Real Estate Fraud: If false liens or improper foreclosure actions were taken.
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty: If the custodian did not act in the best interest of the IRA.
Have you considered consulting a forensic accountant to further strengthen your evidence?
if i got the discovery requests to collect the documents what type of expert would i need to hire to detmine fraud?
You would typically need a forensic accountant to determine fraud. They can analyze financial records, identify irregularities, and provide expert testimony. Additionally, a fraud examiner might also be helpful for detailed investigation and detection of fraudulent activities.
Would you like more details on how to proceed with hiring a forensic accountant?
I want to understand you staed that Real estate and private loans are not securities but then you stated - Securities Fraud: If IRA funds were misused for personal gain. please explain
Sure, I can clarify that for you.
- Real estate and private loans themselves are not classified as securities.
- Securities fraud can occur if investments within the self-directed IRA, which are securities (like stocks or bonds), are misused for personal gain, or if there are fraudulent activities related to these investments.
Does that make sense?
There was no question as James tiernan has already confessed of the illegal nature of the loan charging me inflatted numbers.
It sounds like you have a strong case with clear evidence of illegal activities and fraud. Here are some key points:
- Misrepresentation and Fraud: Recording a lien without a legitimate loan is fraudulent.
- Usurious Interest Rates: Charging interest rates above the legal limit is illegal in Massachusetts.
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Fiduciaries must act in the best interest of the IRA.
Have you consulted with a forensic accountant to strengthen your evidence?
First i have to get the evidence between james tiernan and Penso trust company right? And since they were both the parties on the note I have a right to learn more about theor communication and etc.. right?
Yes, you have the right to gather evidence, including communications between James Tiernan and Pensco Trust Company, to support your case.
One relevant question: Have you already initiated the discovery process to obtain this evidence?
One month agao. The discovery phase is 3 months before it closes. so i better ask for the lists of discovery requests that my attorney made, right?
Yes, it's a good idea to ask for the list of discovery requests your attorney made to ensure all necessary evidence is being collected. This will help you understand the progress and identify any additional information you may need.
Would you like any guidance on what specific documents or communications to request?
First lets see the list. I will get it. I think this is the first thing that i need to do. Right? Then seek a second opinion.
Yes, reviewing the list of discovery requests is a great first step. Once you have that, you can identify any gaps and decide if additional documents are needed. Seeking a second opinion afterward can help validate your strategy.
Would you like any recommendations on questions to ask when seeking a second opinion?
