David Pasternak- subject of complaint alleging
public corruption and deprivation of civil rights.
Complaint Filed Against David Pasternak with Newly Established Public Corruption and Civil Rights Division of US Attorney, Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, June 21 – Dr Joseph Zernik, Los Angeles County resident filed complaint against Attorney David Pasternak with the newly established division of Andre Birotte Jr, the US Attorney’s Office, Central District of California (Los Angeles) for Public Corruption and Civil Rights. The complaint alleges that Mr Pasternak has fraudulently appeared in court as “Receiver” for execution of “Judgment”, where in fact no judgment was ever entered, and no order for his appointment as “Receiver” was entered either. Through such alleged fraud on the court, Mr Pasternak and accomplices engaged in real estate fraud, as opined by renowned Fraud Expert – James Wedick – FBI veteran, who was decorated by US Congress, by FBI Director and by US Attorney General. Moreover, Mr Wedick supplied a letter documenting that already in August 2008 FBI Special Agent Connoly, who was assigned to the case agreed with him that the case was real estate fraud by Mr Pasternak against Dr Zernik.
Mr Pasternak acted with no Judgment, with no Writ of Execution, and produced Grant Deeds on Dr Zernik’s property, which were opined as fraud. Mr Pasternak collected $1.8 million for the purported sale of the property, and in disregard of the law is keeping the proceeds to this date. California law requires that such proceeds be distributed within 30 days in case of sale of property by the court. In the passing 2.5 years, Mr Pasternak engaged in various transactions in such funds, which were alleged in the complaint as monetary transaction in property derived from prohibited conduct.
Complainant, Dr Zernik claimed that the case held high public policy significance, since it amounted to alleged Public Corruption and Deprivation of Civil Rights by Mr Pasternak, who routinely appeared in courts as Receiver, was former President of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, was former member of the California Judicial Council, was former President of Bet Tzedek – “The House of Justice” - a prominent Jewish charity providing free legal services, and was current officer of the Chancery Club – a prominent Los Angeles voluntary legal association.
The Los Angeles Times published news on June 12, 2010 that the newly appointed US Attorney, Central District of California, Andre Birotte Jr, established a unit for whose mission was be 'to bring to justice those public officials and public employees who violate the public's trust.'
"Two of the best known fraud experts and FBI special agent assigned to the case concluded already in 2008 that the case was real estate fraud," commented Dr Zernik, "however, given Mr Pasternak's high profile, the case would test to what degree the newly established public corruption unit is ready, willing, able to enforce the law in Los Angeles County, California."
