GA needs your help!
Can anyone put these 5 puzzle pieces together?
PUZZLE PIECE #1
Here is a NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services Business Status report for Newton Lao Leonard & Locke, LLC dated- today!
According to the report, Newton Lao Leonard & Locke, LLC's business charter was suspended on November 16, 2012. It's current charter status is "REVOKED for not filing annual report for 2 consecutive years." In fact, Newton Lao Leonard & Locke, LLC's charter with the New Jersey Department of the Treasury was revoked in 2012. Putting it simply, since 2012 this company has been "off the books."
PUZZLE PIECE #2
Under oath, Mason testified:
"I have a company, Newton Lau [sp] Leonard & Locke" and that company has employees "now."
PUZZLE PIECE #3
Hoboken elected officials are required to file a Financial Disclosure Report. The 2014 Financial Disclosure Statement, Section II-A, Councilwoman Elizabeth Mason lists Newton Lao Leonard & Locke, LLC as a "source of income... in excess of $2,000." On Financial Disclosure Report Section II-D, she reports an interest in (only) two business entities,Newton Lao Leonard & Locke, LLC and Cooper Place, LLC.
GA is totally confused! I am a layperson, not a financial expert! I pay an accountant to figure out my taxes. None of this makes sense to me.
I have so many questions.
Can an LLC still operate as a business after their charter is revoked? Is it "invisible" to the state? How does it report revenue to the state and federal government? How does it report payroll, and how do employees report income?
PUZZLE PIECE #4
Here is a NJ Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services Business Status report for Mason Civic League, Inc. dated- today!
The Mason Civic League, Inc, has TWO Treasurers.
Treasurer James Barracato, a Weekhawken resident, reports his address is 1200 Washington Street in Hoboken.
Why two Treasurers- does one put money in and the other take it out?
PUZZLE PIECE #5
On February 8, 2012, Lane Bajardi sent an email to Treasurer James Barracato. Bajardi attached a document, Attorney Intro.doc, and wrote:
"If this isn't enough to sue somebody I don't know what is... I realize going with an attorney who Ricky and Beth are comfortable with is key."
Now, those are a couple of puzzle pieces. Maybe they complete more than one puzzle.
As a Hoboken taxpayer subsidizing the Mason Civic League, Inc. non-profit corporation, and a SLAPP suit Defendant, GA wants to solve puzzles.
The public is allowed to access IRS 990 tax returns for 501(c)3 non-profits- that is why the public cannot see the deposits of money into, and expenditures out of the Mason Civic League, Inc.
The Mason Civic League, Inc has filed IRS e-Postcard Forms since 2010.
Maybe that's another puzzle piece.
Treasurer Finboy run amok with The Checkbook.
ReplyDeleteOh, the story a few well-placed subpoenas could tell. Wire transfers in? Enter the Bagman.
ReplyDeleteEnter the Bagman
DeleteSay your prayers guppy
Don't forget
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
You can't hide your sin
Till the bag man he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your SLAPP suit tight
Exit, light
Enter, night
Take my envelope
We're off to SLAPP back land
My dad was a bookkeeper but I don't think what is going on here is all kosher?
ReplyDeleteMakes you wonder if the charity was purposed for shady operations.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a non profit board seating two Treasurers. Definitely a red flag.
ReplyDeleteCould the Civic League have laundered SLAPP money?
ReplyDeleteCrime meets cover up. An old story, and the beginning of the end in most cases.
ReplyDeleteI like how Newton is listed in Lyndhurst and then, after its charter is revoked, magically reappears at 1200 Washington. Things that make you go hmm....
ReplyDelete2 treasurers and yet so little money moving that they continually file via postcard?
ReplyDeleteStinks to high heaven.
ha, exactly, dang! why do they need two treasurers when they don't do enough to get beyond postcard filings. super suspicious, can't wait to read al sullivan's investigation. ;)
