FBI CHARGES CT ATTORNEY WITH STEALING $1.8 MILLION FROM HIS CLIENT'S ESTATE!

The following information appeared on the FBI website:

Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that PETER M. CLARK, 57, of Woodbury, was arrested today on a federal criminal complaint charging him with stealing more than $1.8 million from the estate of an Oxford woman who died in 2010.

According to the criminal complaint, Miriam S. Strong of Oxford died on July 2, 2010. At the time of her death, Strong had a will, which left money, property and other items to a list of individuals, the Town of Oxford, the State of Connecticut, and several religious and other charitable entities. The will also called for the creation of a scholarship fund for college-bound students from Oxford. CLARK drafted the will as Strong’s attorney and served as a witness to Strong’s execution of the will. The will named CLARK and another individual as co-executors. The investigation has revealed that, during the course of the administration of the will, CLARK took at least $1.8 million from Strong’s estate for his own use.

The complaint charges CLARK with one count of mail fraud, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.

CLARK was arrested this morning at his residence. He appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah A.L. Merriam in New Haven and will be released after he posts a $500,000 bond that will be co-signed by family members.

U.S. Attorney Daly stressed that a complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Connecticut State Police—Western District Major Crime Squad. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah P. Karwan.

AOL REPORTS FBI ADMITS TO PROVIDING FLAWED TESTIMONY ON FORENSIC EVIDENCE FROM 1980-2000!

AOL REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:

"WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department and FBI have formally acknowledged that nearly every examiner in the FBI Laboratory's microscopic hair comparison unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000, The Washington Post reported.

Twenty-six of the 28 examiners overstated forensic matches in ways that favored prosecutors in more than 95 percent of the 268 trials reviewed so far, the Post reported Saturday, citing information from the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Innocence Project.

The organizations are assisting the government with the post-conviction review of questioned forensic evidence and provided the statistics under an agreement with the government to release results after the review of the first 200 convictions, the Post reported..."

HARTFORD COURANT REPORTS THAT THE DOJ DECRIES LACK OF INVESTIGATIVE GRAND JURY IN CT!

According to the Hartford Courant:

NEW HAVEN - Federal law enforcement officers, struck by what they called the persistent criminal behavior of government officials in Connecticut, said Wednesday that they have created a multi-agency, federal task force to fight public corruption in the state.

U.S. Attorney Deirdre M. Daly, who announced the task force and whose office will run it, said graft has become so pervasive in Connecticut that it is "discouraging and troubling" and a "persistently present problem."

She also questioned the legislature's refusal to provide local prosecutors with effective crime fighting tools. "High profile government corruption persists in Connecticut," she said, "So the time is opportune for us to put together a top notch team."

CT MIRROR REPORTS DOJ PUTS BILLBOARDS UP TO ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO REPORT CORRUPTION!

Brian Lockhart of the CT Mirror reports as follows:

BRIDGEPORT -- Welcome to Connecticut's largest city.

If you have a lead on any government corruption, please contact the FBI.

Following last week's announcement of the creation of a new, multi-agency federal task force to help police "Corrupticut", billboards promoting the initiative have popped up outside Bridgeport, Waterbury and Hartford -- three cities that have been plagued by scandals.

Bridgeport's G-man advertisement appears on a digital billboard visible to motorists approaching downtown from I-95 Southbound.

NEWLY FILED LAWSUIT EXPOSES CORRUPT ATMOSPHERE IN NEW HAVEN FBI OFFICE! SEE NEW HAVEN REGISTER ARTICLE!

The New Haven Register reports as follows:

"HARTFORD >> FBI bosses retaliated against an agent for complaining about personnel decisions, managed by fear and were so dysfunctional that the bureau’s director apologized to the Connecticut staff for problems with local leadership, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The agent, Kurt Siuzdak, is a lawyer and 17-year veteran of the bureau who worked in New York City and as a legal attache in Iraq before joining the New Haven field office in 2009.

In his lawsuit, Siuzdak said he was subjected to a baseless investigation when he complained he was passed over for supervisory positions. His wife, Heather Clinton, said in an interview that her husband was reluctant to publicize internal FBI disputes but saw no other way to address what they see as abuses by managers who allow social affiliations to influence promotion decisions."

Perhaps this report of corruption explains the FBI lack of action in regard to the fraud and racketeering associated with the AFCC infiltration of the judicial branch.  Apparently, the FBI thinks it is acceptable to ignore the AFCC's pattern of handing out plum GAL and Custody Evaluation assignments to its members. 


Further, it may explain the FBI's indifference to reports it has received regarding family court attorneys who have been defrauding their clients to the tune of thousands and thousands of dollars.  Even when the FBI is perfectly aware of these activities and has received multiple complaints from various individuals, it still does nothing.


When the FBI becomes indifferent to its responsibility to uphold and protect American citizens, we have to wonder whether it is simply a self centered agency solely focused on perpetuating itself rather than actually meeting its obligations.
