RE: Federal Government v. Setser Family and Partners –
A forensic legal analysis, remedy and relief.
Dear Greg:
On June 12, 2006, at the time of our initial meeting, immediately following your “conviction” in federal court, I was impressed by your peaceful demeanor and the concern you expressed, not for yourself, but for your family, partners, business associates and the Christian community.
You also expressed your desire to understand the federal judicial process to help answer your compound question “What happened, how do I fight these guys, do they play by any rules in this system?” and I knew we’d get along fine, because I’d heard that question before.
The past two months of our daily communications have been educational and beneficial for both of us and time well spent. You shared experience gained through years of domestic and international business on a scale comparable to and competitive with Fortune 500 companies; and existing contracts now waiting your personal involvement sufficient to move IPIC International, Inc., into the top 5% of those 500. I have shared knowledge acquired over a 36 year period in domestic and international business structuring and research and litigation in the area of federal jurisdiction; the past seven (7) years involving the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
That you and I, both domiciled in California, should meet in a Federal Detention Center in Texas is more than fortuitous – we both recognize the hand of God.
The two cases brought by the federal government, “criminal” and civil, allege violations of securities law and originated in the Northern District of Texas. Since June, 1999, I have, through Second Opinion Services (SOS), provided legal support for the defendants in two primary SEC cases identical to yours and emanating from the same Fort Worth office: SEC v. Dennel Finance Limited, 3:99-CV-0571-R and SEC v. Resource Development International, Inc., 3:02-CV-0605-R, reaching the Supreme Court in the latter case, and now awaiting decision.
In was in April of this year, 2006, that I found the “key” to resolving both of these cases in favor of the defendants and the same is applicable to your civil case – which will result in the dismissal of your “criminal” case.
Therefore, pursuant to your request, I have conducted a forensic analysis of both your “criminal” and civil documents, procedures, law and authority relied upon by officers and employees of the federal government in the charging and prosecution of yourself and others; and by virtue of contract, vicariously, the prosecution of your partners.
Findings confirm SOS’s preliminary review and report of July 4, 2006, which can best be summed up by reference to the Bible’s Old Testament Prophet, Daniel:
“God has numbered the days of your [federal officers and employees] reign and brought it to an end. You [federal officers and employees] have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.” (Brackets added) Daniel 5:26-27 (NIV).
I present an overview of my findings herein and direct your attention to the “Forensic Memorandum” attached hereto for a more in-depth treatment of the jurisdictional defects fatal to the government’s cases.
Officers, employees and agents of the federal government have acted in bad faith – without Constitutional, Congressional, Judicial or contractual authority. The actions taken against you, your family, and other natural persons, whether in ignorance of the law or conspiratorial in nature, are violations depriving the court of jurisdiction (authority) to proceed.
Discovery and presentation to the court of these violations may be made at any time and are now being prepared for filing. The law mandates remedy and relief by dismissal of both cases, resulting in your and others release from custody, restoration of all property seized and compensatory and punitive damage awards. Additionally, the federal government has caused breach of contract between corporate persons, e.g., IPIC International, Inc., and its joint venture partners requiring recompense with interest to each damaged partner.
The action you have taken to date to give notice to the court in both cases of such defects, is a “first step” in the judicial process necessary to alert the court to the unlawful and illegal acts of its officers and agents, and the requirement to resolve the issue. Your “Petition to Vacate Judgment” in the civil case is the foundation for dismissing the “criminal” case.
The non-judicial steps you have taken in defense of your rights by demanding the Receiver produce authority relied upon to take possession of your real and personal property before the case began – prior to you being given notice of the SEC’s Complaint – which he has failed to so do and thereby admitting to the violation of your Constitutional rights, has resulted in the Receiver providing a financial safety-net for IPIC International, Inc., and it’s joint venture partners: a Security Agreement backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of a sum sufficient to insure the reimbursement of investment principal and lost profits of each partner.
The process for obtaining remedy for damage done by the federal government can be lengthy and requires your release and final adjudication of the issues. The Security Agreement is enforceable at this time and will be available for collection upon your release.
Inasmuch as the Security Agreement provides for a significant penalty for each continued days of deprivation of your freedom, in order to limit further liability to the federal government, the court has a duty to expedite a hearing.
Your release should not be delayed longer than it takes for the court to schedule a hearing and confirm the record of Constitutional violations.
Praying that God will speed your release and restoration of your fortunes, I remain
Yours in His Service,
Lonnie G. Schmidt
