Crystal Cox, Investigative Blogger Questions Kevin Padrick's Role as Bankruptcy Trustee
"Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox has Questions for the Bankruptcy Courts, the
Department of Justice, and the Attorney General Regarding the Actions of Kevin
Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group in his role as a “Trustee” in a Federal Bankruptcy
Proceeding."
In the Summit 1031 / Summit Accomodators Bankruptcy based out of Bend Oregon
that involved creditors, investors, victims from many states, there are many questions
that investigative blogger Crystal Cox has regarding Kevin Padrick, the Bankruptcy
Trustee, whom was under contract with the Debtor (Summit) to Reorganize their Debt,
Before the Debtor filed for Bankruptcy in the Summit Bankruptcy, then Kevin Padrick
was later appointed Trustee, which was essentially on the opposite side of the best
interest of his own client.
In the Summit Bankruptcy there were conflicts of interest with the Creditors Attorney, Perkins
Coie, Steven Hedberg as he us to work under Kevin Padrick while they were both at Miller
Nash Law Firm. And there were conflicts with Pamela Griffith, Assistant US Trustee having
past connections with Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp. Tonkon Torp David Aman and Leon
Simson have a lot to gain, or keep in aiding to silence blogger Crystal Cox on the Real Story
of the Summit Bankruptcy and the seemingly endless amounts of high finance connections
that led to a 40 Million dollar bankruptcy being under the control of one man, Kevin Padrick.
Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogging has been writing on the Summit Bankruptcy for 3 years
now. Crystal Cox has deeply researched the issues in this bankruptcy and has since been
exposed to inside information on the biggest bankruptcy cases in the US and the same
Model of Corruption that seems to be involved in most all bankruptcy cases.
Whereby the courts, the trustee, uses up the money and the Debtors take the fall for it and the Public
Persecution and the investors and creditors are at the mercy of the Trustee, the Courts as
they attorneys suck up millions in fees with no transparency or accountability.
Crystal Cox began writing on the Summit Bankruptcy Case in July of 2009, after she
extensively read documents, depositions, LLC management files, tax documents and
watched videos of meeting with the Debtors and their Financial Consultant Obsidian Finance
Group, Kevin Padrick. Of which she found links to these documents and this massive
information and videos at a blog that a Bankruptcy Whistleblower had exposing the inside
details of a $40 Million Dollar Oregon Bankruptcy.
This woman and other insiders, investors, creditors filed an Objection to the Fees against Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group and David Aman, Tonkon Torp as they charged the estate millions of dollars and with seemingly no accountability what so ever.
This Judicial Procedure, of Public Record is where Crystal Cox, Blogger got most of the
information for the post she was sued for 10 Million Dollars on by those wishing to silence
her. This information was not allowed to be introduce into evidence.
Investigative Blogger Crystal L. Cox has Some Questions for the FBI, the Department of Justice and
anyone out there who actually provides any kind of Monitoring of the Bankruptcy Courts or in any way
Enforces the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Crystal Cox, Investigative Blogger asks, Can a Department of Justice, Court Appointed Trustee be a Legally
Defined Insider? Was Kevin Padrick an “Insider” just because he was paid by the debtor to help them
reorganize debt and then took their books, spreadsheets and inside information and used it against them as the
bankruptcy trustee?
Crystal Cox, Investigative Blogger asks why did Judge Randall Dunn suggest that Kevin Padrick be the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy? Certainly Judge Randall Dunn, the Bankruptcy Judge in Summit Bankruptcy case, knew that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was under contract with Obsidian to Advise them - there were press releases from Sussman Shank’s Attorney Susan Ford, the Attorney for the Debtor that discussed Obsidian being on board, the attorneys of the Principals knew that "Obsidian" was on board as you see in the transcription of the meeting BEFORE Kevin Padrick showed up to that Summit Meeting.
Is Judge Randall Dunn Liable ? Does Judge Dunn have any accountability?
Was Judge Randall Dunn Paid Off or got some secret deal for making Kevin Padrick the Trustee in what is said to be Oregon’s Biggest Bankruptcy Case at that time? Will the Oregon Tax Payers end up paying a huge settlement when possibly the Summit Creditors Sue Judge Randall Dunn Personally and Professionally?
Crystal Cox, Investigative Blogger fully believe that the Summit Creditor, Investors and Even Summit Principals can file a class action lawsuit against Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick, David Brown, Pamela Griffith and the Department of Justice, Judge Randal Dunn, the Bend DA Office, Perkins Coie, Sussman Shank, Susan Ford, Steven Hedberg, Annie Buell, the Tennant Family, Tonkon Torp, David Aman and Leon Simpson ~ As she believe they all acted in conspiracy to get Kevin Padrick the Trustee job and to divert the DOJ and FBI to focus on the Summit Principals while Kevin Padrick ran away with everyone's money.
Why did a Federal Bankruptcy Judge appoint what looks like a legally defined "Insider" as a Trustee" ?
Was Kevin Padrick an "Insider" an "Interested" party by law, and therefore NOT Legally Qualified to be the
Trustee of the Summit Bankruptcy? If so is all the actions of Kevin Padrick as Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy Null and Void?
Did the Department of Justice Trustee, Judge Randall Dunn, Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie and Tom Stilley
of Sussman Shank, as well as Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp act in conspiracy to get Kevin Padrick this very
lucrative Trustee job? And if so, well then where was the real "Oversight" to provide any kind of transparency
and accountability for the Investors and Creditors?
Where was the Department Of Justice in making sure that Kevin Padrick was providing a service that was of
the "Highest Fiduciary Duty"?
The actions of the DOJ, the Bankruptcy Judge, the Attorneys for the Creditor and the Debtors makes no legal or ethical sense and is certainly not of the highest fiduciary duty, says blogger Crystal Cox. Crystal Cox says,in her opinion, that Judge Randall Dunn has some serious Explaining to do and possibly some Lawsuits of his own to face.
In looking at Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31) it sure seems to be suggesting that,as a legally
defined Insider, under contract to advise the Debtor, that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was not
legally allowed to be "appointed" as the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy, Not sure if this is Fact, However, if you dig deep, surely you would, at least have some questions in all this.
Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31)
"(14) The term "disinterested person" means a person that--
(A) is not a creditor, an equity security holder, or an insider;
(B) is not and was not, within 2 years before the date of the filing of the petition, a director, officer, or
employee of the debtor; and
(C) does not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the estate or of any class of creditors or
equity security holders, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, the
debtor, or for any other reason.
Above Quoted from
http://doney.net/bkcode/11usc0101.htm
One thing that jumps out at blogger Crystal Cox is, property must be transferred to a "disinterested party"
right? And as above in the bankruptcy code we note the definition of "disinterested party" NOT an Insider,
and Kevin Padrick was an "Insider" from the way she sees it.
Wasn't Kevin Padrick in "control" of the "debtor" and thereby again an insider?
He seemed to have advised them on all this BEFORE he was the Trustee working against them, is this Legal?
Really? It certainly must be unethically for an Oregon Attorney to provide financial advice to a company, take
their personal financial data and use it against them. It must be a "breach of contract" at the very least, right?
As Kevin Padrick was under contract with Summit, though the Trial (Obsidian V. Cox) Defendant, Blogger Crystal Cox asked Kevin Padrick if he had a contract with Summit and he said he did not, of which others at Obsidian Finance Group, on the stand, later admitted they did have a signed contract, and took $100,000 of Summit's money.
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group was under contract to assist Summit to form a plan of reorganization and instead drove them further into problems, and took a workable situation financially and basically drowned his own clients ensuring they file bankruptcy and could not reorganize and therefore Kevin Padrick would get massive commissions on each asset SOLD and get HUGE fees for services with No Oversight, Transparency or Accountability.
Stephanie DeYoung, Mark Knowles, Jim Hull filed an Objection to these Outrageous Fees, and serial Plaintiff
Kevin Padrick put them under so much duress they gave up, and though not based in law or bankruptcy code, Kevin Padrick, with his attorney David Aman ... well he got his way.
The Objection went away, yet Kevin Padrick was called out again over similar issues in the Summer of 2011,
in the Homestreet / Cascadia Project LLC legal battle where Homestreet bank objected to Kevin Padrick's fees and conflicts of interest. Homestreet WON, where bankruptcy whistleblower and mother of 3 Stephanie DeYoung was forced to stand down, though their Objection to the Fees was thorough, truthful and was a legitimate objection.
See Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group had the debtors books, had spreadsheets on the Debtors Assets and Personal Financial Information and WAS an Insider, it seems to Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox.
Therefore, In her Opinion, He had NO BUSINESS working for the Creditors in this Case nor being appointed as the Trustee, in my Opinion and the way I see the Laws, from my Non-Lawyer interpretation.
the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31) ("insiders" include an 6 "officer","person in control of the debtor", "affiliate, or insider of an affiliate as if such affiliate were the debtor", and "managing agent of the debtor").
Bankruptcy Code on Duties of Trustee and Examiner
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/usc_sec_11_00001106----000-.html
This talks about investigations into debtors debt, see Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group already had this information in Great Detail, as he was an Insider, under contract, under "control" of the Debtors, yet he became Trustee and SEEMED to charge the estate to investigate what he was already paid to look into by the Summit Principals, his Client. And he had no Oversight, the DOJ Trustee just let Kevin Padrick do as he pleased and answer to no one.
This is for the Courts to Decide and to Look at But Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogger Certainly Does Raise the Question:
Can a Legally Defined "Insider", Under Contract with the Debtor, before they filed bankruptcy
be Appointed as a Trustee in a 40 Million Dollar Bankruptcy Case?
Also Note that Sussman Shank, Attorney for the Summit Principals did not object and seemed in fact to agree with Judge Dunn in appointing Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance when it looks like days before THIS SAME Attorney, Sussman Shank's Lead Attorney Susan Ford said in an email to Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie (Lead Attorney for the Creditors Committee who at one time worked under Kevin Padrick at Miller Nash), to Tom Stilley (Assistant Attorney for Sussman and Shank), to Jeanette Thomas ( Perkins Coie Attorney for Creditors' Committee), and to Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group that """There was significant concern that such a proposal would be "dead on arrival" and might even lead to a Motion by the UST to appoint a Trustee, which would not benefit the creditors.""
So what happened, who is liable, where is the highest fiduciary duty ?
They ALL, surely seemed to know that Kevin Padrick Was Legally Defined in Bankruptcy Code as an Insider and yet they all looked the other way, why? And if it is not illegal then certainly Kevin Padrick should be filed against with the Oregon State Bar as an Ethics Violation, at the least, Right?
The Summit case involves victims (Creditors and Investors) in multiple states, who is really liable?
Accountable? I would say to start with, the Victims need to sue the Department of Justice and those personally involved in the oversight duties of the Summit Bankruptcy in which Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was allegedly to answer to.
Also think about this, as thought to consider, it is Tax Code, in a 1031 Exchange that Property, such as the Assets and LLC's involved in the Summit Bankruptcy that this be transferred to a "Disinterested Party" which it SEEMS that by Law Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group Was not. So is this a Violation of Tax Code regarding 1031 Exchanges?
Did Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group retain a "Qualified Intermediary" for the 1031 Exchange Transactions, seeings how it seems to me that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was NOT a "disinterested party" as I believe the law states that an intermediary must be ???
Does David Aman, Tonkon Torp know of this possible illegal activity and is therefore bullying, harassing an Investigative Blogger in order to hide what looks like something that David Aman, Leon Simson and Tonkon Torp knew since the begining of the Summit Bankruptcy.
And if an attorney knows of a possible crime, are they not by law or by attorney ethics bound to report this suspected behavior for investigation by the Proper Authorities? Also note that it sure seems that Leon Simson and David Aman are more then conflicted in the Summit case and are liable for some possible criminal activity of their own.
Did Kevin Patrick's past connection with Miller Nash and Working with Steve Hedberg there present a Legal Conflict of Interest in the Summit Bankruptc as Kevin Padrick being appointed by Judge Dunn to be the Trustee? Why did Sussman Shank agree to this appointment, when days before Lead Attorney Susan Ford of Sussman Shank flat out said that this was not in the best interest of the Creditors?
Why did Kevin Padrick bill the Summit Creditors for a meeting with Steve Hedberg, Perkins Coie (Lead Attorney for the Creditors Committee who at one time worked under Kevin Padrick at Miller Nash), and Tom Stilley (Assistant Attorney for Sussman and Shank) to discuss replacing Terry Vance as CRO? This can be seen discussed in Judicial Proceeding Case No. 08-37031 rld11 in Billable Hours.
Terry Vance was doing a fine job, from all I have read and Susan Ford Lead Attorney with Sussman Shank was allegedly out of town when Tom Stilley, Sussman Shank was involved in this. So, was Tom Stilley Connected in any Conflict of Interest Ways?
Why did Sussman Shank agree, knowing full well that Kevin Padrick was Legally Defined as an Insider by way of Contract with the Summit Principals to work for them?
Didn't Susan Ford, Sussman Shank talk about Obsidian being "retained" in this Press Release
http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/summitwebsiteannouncement.pdf
Therefore Susan Ford of Sussman Shank knew full well that in Bankruptcy Code Kevin Padrick was Defined Legally as an Insider.
So why did Sussman Shank NOT object to Judge Randall Dunn appointing Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group as the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy ?
Why did the courts appoint a trustee based on an
oral motion without any prior notice to parties in interest?
Why was an individual, Kevin Padrick appointed as a United States Trustee?
Certainly all these questions are of Public Concern?
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, seems to be a seriously conflicted Bankruptcy Trustee as he was an insider, legally defined, Crystal Cox, investigative blogger believes, and had conflicts of interest with the Creditors' Committee Attorney Steven Hedberg and Seemingly with Sussman Shank.
Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor to give them financial advice, as noted in the Sussman Shank, Susan Ford Press Release, which makes him an "insider" right legally? This makes him NOT a "disinterested party" RIGHT?
Then, after this, he was "appointed" as Trustee by a Federal Bankruptcy Judge, Judge Randall Dunn, after Sussman Shank Attorney Susan Ford Advised that this is NOT in the Best Interest of the Creditors, Judge Randall Dunn Suggested the Kevin Padrick be appointed as the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy and Sussman Shank made no objection to this, what seemsto be a serious conflict of interest, Why?
Also note that Tonkon Torp was making Tons of money and as this quote says "Kevin knew he could get Leon Simson on board and therefore, possibly Pamela Griffith."
Source of Quote -
http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/?p=1628
~ Pamela Griffith is the Department of Justice U.S. Trustee that was supposed to watch over the actions of the Trustee (Kevin Padrick) and in my opinion she was conflicted as she used to work with Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp Law Firm and Tonkon Torp Leon Simson and Tonkon Torp David Aman stood to make a whole lot of money from Kevin Padrick being the Trustee in the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
Lot's Of Questions and Seemingly No One in a Position of Authority to Ask them To.
Crystal Cox, Investigative Blogger believe that the law states that as someone with knowledge of a crime, or possible crime, you can file a Criminal Complaint, and Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogger intends to file Judicial Complaints, Attorney Complaints, Department of Justice Complaints, and a Federal RICO Lawsuit over the actions of Tonkon Torp and Obsidian Finance Group in the Summit Bankruptcy Case.
And as those cases are filed, Blogger Crystal Cox will post them on her Investigative Blogger Network and expose all the government agencies that once again ignore corruption in the US Bankruptcy Courts and aid and abet the corruption in the US Courts by refusing to investigate what whistle blowers tell them.
It’s Time for Accountability and Transparency in the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.
The Debtors Financial Adviser becomes the Trustee working against the Debtor?
Does No One See an Issue with this???
And this Man, Kevin Padrick has a History of taking advantage of his own clients
and is seemingly accountable to no one.
In the news articles on the Summit Indictments you see this quote, “We will vigorously
investigate and prosecute anyone, especially licensed professionals, who cheat others to
enrich themselves,” said U.S. Attorney Holton.”
The thing is the Oregon Governor, the Attorney General, the SEC, the FBI, and all who govern white collar crimes and the US Bankruptcy Courts, they all seem to flat out ignore the activities of the Judges, Attorneys, DOJ Trustee and Bankruptcy Trustee after the money is turned over to the US Bankruptcy system and pilfered by the insiders, as the Creditors, Investors, Victims are at the mercy of the Bankruptcy Judge and the Trustee of which there is no real oversight and absolutely no transparency or accountability for their actions, their outrageous fees and their behind the scenes back scratching and favors owed, all at the expense of those with their whole lives wrapped up in the outcome of the bankruptcy.
This Summit case was allegedly being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Postal Inspectors, and the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate Securities. Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth Uram and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Helen Cooper, as part of a partnership venture between the Seattle Region, Social Security Administration, Office of the General Counsel and the United States Attorney’s Office in Portland, Oregon.
The thing is they all turned a blind eye to inside documents and proof as to what the Trustee was doing, and to this day have simply pointed the finger at the Debtor and have not even questioned where the money went after Obsidian Finance Group stepped onto the Scene, which was BEFORE the Debtor Filed for Bankruptcy.
The Summit Bankruptcy was riddled with conflicts of interest. The Summit Bankruptcy and all
activities involving anything that Kevin Padrick did as the Trustee, should be null and void.
The Summit Indictments should be re-investigated as one man used powerful connections to ensure those indictment and to keep the eyes off him while he raked in million upon millions, and future favors galore, Kevin Padrick Bankruptcy Trustee did NOT offer the “Highest Fiduciary Duty” Investigative Blogger Crystal L. Cox is dedicated to exposing Kevin Padrick and Obsidian
Finance Group, as she believe they have created a trail of victims, of which she believes she
fights for by using the power of Internet marketing to get top search engine placement and
get these victims, these creditors and investors that are at the mercy of a corrupt and nontransparent
bankruptcy court system, found in the search engines in hopes of getting them justice and providing transparency and accountability where there is none.

Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor in the Summit Bankruptcy, then Was appointed Trustee, is this Legal?
Can a Department of Justice, Court Appointed Trustee be a Legally Defined Insider?
Stephanie DeYoung, Mark Knowles, Jim Hull filed an Objection to these Outrageous Fees, and serial Plaintiff Kevin Padrick put them under so much duress they gave up, and though not based in law or bankruptcy code, Kevin Padrick, with his attorney David Aman ... well he got his way.

So what happened, who is liable, where is the highest fiduciary duty ?
They ALL, surely seemed to know that Kevin Padrick Was Legally Defined in Bankruptcy Code as an Insider and yet they all looked the other way, why? And if it is not illegal then certainly Kevin Padrick should be filed against with the Oregon State Bar as an Ethics Violation, at the least, Right?

Terry Vance was doing a fine job, from all I have read and Susan Ford Lead Attorney with Sussman Shank was allegedly out of town when Tom Stilley, Sussman Shank was involved in this. So, was Tom Stilley Connected in any Conflict of Interest Ways?
Why did Sussman Shank agree, knowing full well that Kevin Padrick was Legally Defined as an Insider by way of Contract with the Summit Principals to work for them?
Didn't Susan Ford, Sussman Shank talk about Obsidian being "retained" in this Press Release
http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/summitwebsiteannouncement.pdf
Therefore Susan Ford of Sussman Shank knew full well that in Bankruptcy Code Kevin Padrick was Defined Legally as an Insider.
So why did Sussman Shank NOT object to Judge Randall Dunn appointing Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group as the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy ? Why did the courts appoint a trustee based on an oral motion without any prior notice to parties in interest? Why was an individual, Kevin Padrick appointed as a United States Trustee? Certainly all these questions are of Public Concern?
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Trustee had past close working connections with Steve Hedberg, Perkins Coie who in the Summit Bankruptcy was / is Lead Attorney for the Creditors Committee. Steven Hedberg, it is my understanding at one time worked under Kevin Padrick when they were both at Miller Nash Law Firm.
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Trustee also seems to have past affiliations with the founder of Sussman Shank, as shown here http://www.sussmanshank.com/gtruths.asp . Yes represented against as with Miller Nash, thing is there is certainly reason to question a Conflict of Interest, a History with Sussman Shank in some way and YET again, in My Opinion, had no legal right to be appointed as Trustee and if so, certainly no Ethical Reason, Right?
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, seems to me to be a seriously conflicted Bankruptcy Trustee as he was an insider, legally defined, I believe, and had conflicts of interest with the Creditors' Committee Attorney Steven Hedberg and Seemingly with Sussman Shank.
Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor to give them financial advice, as noted in the Sussman Shank, Susan Ford Press Release, which makes him an "insider" right legally? This makes him NOT a "disinterested party" RIGHT?
Then, after this, he was "appointed" as Trustee by a Federal Bankruptcy Judge, Judge Randall Dunn, after Sussman Shank Attorney Susan Ford Advised that this is NOT in the Best Interest of the Creditors. And Sussman Shank made no objection to this, what seems to me to be a serious conflict of interest, Why?
Also note that Tonkon Torp was making Tons of money and as this quote says "Kevin knew he could get Leon Simson on board and therefore, possibly Pamela Griffith."

I believe that the law states that as someone with knowledge of a crime, or possible crime, you can file a Criminal Complaint, more on that Soon, if I can I will be filing Criminal Complaints and Stating the Codes Violated and why I believe it to be so.

Investigative Blogger Crystal L. Cox has Some Questions for the FBI, the Department of Justice and anyone out there who actually provides any kind of Monitoring of the Bankruptcy Courts or in any way Enforces the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.I Believe the Summit Creditor, Investors and Even Summit Principals can file a class action lawsuit against Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick, David Brown, Pamela Griffith and the Department of Justice, Judge Randal Dunn, the Bend DA Office, Perkins Coie, Sussman Shank, Susan Ford, Steven Hedberg, Annie Buell, the Tennant Family, Tonkon Torp, David Aman and Leon Simpson ~ As I believe they all acted in conspiracy to get Kevin Padrick the Trustee job and to divert the DOJ and FBI to focus on the Summit Principals while Kevin Padrick ran away with everyone's money.
Certainly Judge Dunn, the Bankruptcy Judge in this case, knew that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was under contract with Obsidian to Advise them - there were press releases from Sussman Shank Attorney Susan Ford that discussed Obsidian being on board, the attorneys of the Principals knew that "Obsidian" was on board as you see in the transcription of the meeting BEFORE Kevin Padrick showed up to that Summit Meeting. Is Judge Dunn Liable ? Will the Oregon Tax Payers end up paying a huge settlement when possibly the Summit Creditors Sue Judge Dunn Personally and Professionally?
Why did a Federal Bankruptcy Judge appoint what looks to me like a legally defined "Insider" as a Trustee" ? Was Kevin Padrick an "Insider" and "Interested" party by law and therefore NOT Legally Qualified to be the Trustee of the Summit Bankruptcy?Did the Department of Justice Trustee, Judge Randall Dunn, Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie and Tom Stilley of Sussman Shank act in conspiracy to get Kevin Padrick this very lucrative Trustee job?

I am not claiming I know Law, thing is Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31) sure seems to me to be suggesting that as a legally defined Insider, under contract to advise the Debtor, that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was not legally allowed to be "appointed" as the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy, I don't Know this for Fact, I am not a Bankruptcy Attorney. However, I will point you to some links of interest to do your own homework.
Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31)
"(14) The term "disinterested person" means a person that--
Above Quoted from(A) is not a creditor, an equity security holder, or an insider;(B) is not and was not, within 2 years before the date of the filing of the petition, a director, officer, or employee of the debtor; and(C) does not have an interest materially adverse to the interest of the estate or of any class of creditors or equity security holders, by reason of any direct or indirect relationship to, connection with, or interest in, the debtor, or for any other reason.

The Objection went away, yet Kevin Padrick was called out again in the Homestreet / Cascadia Project LLC legal battle where Homestreet bank objected to Kevin Padrick's fees and conflicts of interest. Homestreet WON, where bankruptcy whistleblower and mother of 3 Stephanie DeYoung was forced to stand down, though their Objection to the Fees was thorough, truthful and was a legitimate objection.
See Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group had the debtors books, had spreadsheets on the Debtors Assets and Personal Financial Information and WAS an Insider, it seems to me. Therefore, In my Opinion, He had NO BUSINESS working for the Creditors in this Case nor being appointed as the Trustee, in my Opinion and the way I see the Laws, from my Non-Lawyer interpretation.Bankruptcy Code on Duties of Trustee and Examinerhttp://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/usc_sec_11_00001106----000-.html
the Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 101(31) ("insiders" include an 6 "officer","person in control of the debtor", "affiliate, or insider of an affiliate as if such affiliate were the debtor", and "managing agent of the debtor").
This talks about investigations into debtors debt, see Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group already had this information in Great Detail, as he was an Insider, under contract, under "control" of the Debtors, yet he became Trustee and SEEMED to charge the estate to investigate what he was already paid to look into by the Summit Principals, his Client.
This is for the Courts to Decide and to Look at But I Certainly Do Raise the Question:
Can a Legally Defined "Insider" of the Debtor be Appointed
as a Trustee in a 40 Million Dollar Bankruptcy Case?
Also Note that Sussman Shank, Attorney for the Summit Principals did not object and seemed in fact to agree with Judge Dunn in appointing Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance when it looks like days before THIS SAME Attorney, Sussman Shank's Lead Attorney Susan Ford said in an email to Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie (Lead Attorney for the Creditors Committee who at one time worked under Kevin Padrick at Miller Nash), to Tom Stilley (Assistant Attorney for Sussman and Shank), to Jeanette Thomas ( Perkins Coie Attorney for Creditors' Committee), and to Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group that """There was significant concern that such a proposal would be "dead on arrival" and might even lead to a Motion by the UST to appoint a Trustee, which would not benefit the creditors.""
Click Here for a link to that email.
So what happened, who is liable, where is the highest fiduciary duty ?
They ALL, surely seemed to know that Kevin Padrick Was Legally Defined in Bankruptcy Code as an Insider and yet they all looked the other way, why? And if it is not illegal then certainly Kevin Padrick should be filed against with the Oregon State Bar as an Ethics Violation, at the least, Right?
The Summit case involves victims (Creditors and Investors) in multiple states, who is really liable? Accountable? I would say to start with, the Victims need to sue the Department of Justice and those personally involved in the oversight duties of the Summit Bankruptcy in which Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was allegedly to answer to.
Also think about this, as thought to consider, it is Tax Code, in a 1031 Exchange that Property, such as
the Assets and LLC's involved in the Summit Bankruptcy that this be transferred to a "Disinterested Party"
which it SEEMS that by Law Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group Was not. So is this a Violation of
Tax Code regarding 1031 Exchanges?
the Assets and LLC's involved in the Summit Bankruptcy that this be transferred to a "Disinterested Party"

Did Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group retain a "Qualified Intermediary" for the 1031 Exchange
Transactions, seeings how it seems to me that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was NOT
a "disinterested party" as I believe the law states that an intermediary must be ???
Transactions, seeings how it seems to me that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was NOT
a "disinterested party" as I believe the law states that an intermediary must be ???
Did Kevin Patrick's past connection with Miller Nash and Working with Steve Hedberg there present a Legal Conflict of Interest in the Summit Bankruptc as Kevin Padrick being appointed by Judge Dunn to be the Trustee? Why did Sussman Shank agree to this appointment, when days before Lead Attorney Susan Ford of Sussman Shank flat out said that this was not in the best interest of the Creditors?
Why did Kevin Padrick bill the Summit Creditors for a meeting with Steve Hedberg, Perkins Coie (Lead Attorney for the Creditors Committee who at one time worked under Kevin Padrick at Miller Nash), and Tom Stilley (Assistant Attorney for Sussman and Shank) to discuss replacing Terry Vance as CRO? This can be seen discussed in Judicial Proceeding Case No. 08-37031 rld11 in Billable Hours.
Terry Vance was doing a fine job, from all I have read and Susan Ford Lead Attorney with Sussman Shank was allegedly out of town when Tom Stilley, Sussman Shank was involved in this. So, was Tom Stilley Connected in any Conflict of Interest Ways?
Why did Sussman Shank agree, knowing full well that Kevin Padrick was Legally Defined as an Insider by way of Contract with the Summit Principals to work for them?
Didn't Susan Ford, Sussman Shank talk about Obsidian being "retained" in this Press Release
http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/summitwebsiteannouncement.pdf
Therefore Susan Ford of Sussman Shank knew full well that in Bankruptcy Code Kevin Padrick was Defined Legally as an Insider.
So why did Sussman Shank NOT object to Judge Randall Dunn appointing Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group as the Trustee in the Summit Bankruptcy ? Why did the courts appoint a trustee based on an oral motion without any prior notice to parties in interest? Why was an individual, Kevin Padrick appointed as a United States Trustee? Certainly all these questions are of Public Concern?
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Trustee had past close working connections with Steve Hedberg, Perkins Coie who in the Summit Bankruptcy was / is Lead Attorney for the Creditors Committee. Steven Hedberg, it is my understanding at one time worked under Kevin Padrick when they were both at Miller Nash Law Firm.
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Trustee also seems to have past affiliations with the founder of Sussman Shank, as shown here http://www.sussmanshank.com/gtruths.asp . Yes represented against as with Miller Nash, thing is there is certainly reason to question a Conflict of Interest, a History with Sussman Shank in some way and YET again, in My Opinion, had no legal right to be appointed as Trustee and if so, certainly no Ethical Reason, Right?
Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, seems to me to be a seriously conflicted Bankruptcy Trustee as he was an insider, legally defined, I believe, and had conflicts of interest with the Creditors' Committee Attorney Steven Hedberg and Seemingly with Sussman Shank.
Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor to give them financial advice, as noted in the Sussman Shank, Susan Ford Press Release, which makes him an "insider" right legally? This makes him NOT a "disinterested party" RIGHT?
Then, after this, he was "appointed" as Trustee by a Federal Bankruptcy Judge, Judge Randall Dunn, after Sussman Shank Attorney Susan Ford Advised that this is NOT in the Best Interest of the Creditors. And Sussman Shank made no objection to this, what seems to me to be a serious conflict of interest, Why?
Also note that Tonkon Torp was making Tons of money and as this quote says "Kevin knew he could get Leon Simson on board and therefore, possibly Pamela Griffith." Source of Quote - http://www.summit1031bkjustice.com/?p=1628 ~ Pamela Griffith is the Department of Justice U.S. Trustee that was supposed to watch over the actions of the Trustee (Kevin Padrick) and in my opinion she was conflicted as she used to work with Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp Law Firm and Tonkon Torp Leon Simson and Tonkon Torp David Aman stood to make a whole lot of money from Kevin Padrick being the Trustee in the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
Lot's Of Questions and Seemingly No One in a Position of Authority to Ask them To.
I believe that the law states that as someone with knowledge of a crime, or possible crime, you can file a Criminal Complaint, more on that Soon, if I can I will be filing Criminal Complaints and Stating the Codes Violated and why I believe it to be so.
The Debtors Financial Adviser becomes the Trustee working against the Debtor?
Does No One See an Issue with this???

I ask you to Investigate the Summit Bankruptcy Case Yourself and see if Blogger Crystal Cox was Really Defaming an Innocent Attorney, a Company that was Not Of Public Concern. Investigate this Story and see if you find that indeed they are Public Figures and that the story is not mine. And that there is reason to suspect Fraud on the Courts.
Many, including Judge Marco Hernandez, seem to really, actually believe that I Caused Damage to the Reputation of Obsidian Finance Group and that I wanted Paid for Damage to their Reputation that I caused. This is simply NOT True.
I offered PR Services, as I am Media, and I am very good at such. This, having no money, was the only thing I had to offer, to negotiate with AFTER I had Received a Cease and Desist, and After a Lawsuit for 10 Million Dollars had been filed against me.
I did not create the information, the information came to me and I gave links to the documents, videos, information, depositions, court filings, insider emails, court audios and more that were already online, as well as adding in my commentary and occasional rant on the topic.
Here, Once again are links to information Proving that it was a story that was "Out There" long before I came along with my amazing gift of search engine placement that makes it seem like I am the only one telling the story, when it was never my story.
All Bloggers that expose corruption, post on alternative news, bloggers that post other people's stories, YOU all are depending on the Obsidian Vs. Cox case for what you do. What happened to me could happen to you.
I was telling the story of others, it was not my story nor did it involve anyone I knew.
Investigate the Summit Bankruptcy story yourself. It has nothing to do with me making an offer to "Settle" after they sent me a cease and desist and AFTER the Plaintiff filed a 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit against me. This story has a life of it's own for anyone caring to look into the details instead of simply judging the messenger.
I did not cause the "Damage" to Kevin Padrick's Reputation. Kevin Padrick HIMSELF caused that by his own actions, EXPOSED by Insiders to a $40 Million Dollar Oregon Bankruptcy Proceeding.
I invite you to look at all the information that was nothing to do with Blogger Crystal Cox, and to post your own blog with your findings on the topic, independent of Crystal Cox Blogger sued for defamation.
The Link Below is Videos of Stephanie Studebaker DeYoung in July of 2009 just after I found out about her Bankruptcy Whistleblower Blog that posted documents, emails, contracts, videos and audios of the behind the scenes of the Summit Bankruptcy and the Legal Filing of an Objection to the Fees of Tonkon Torp and Obsidian Finance Group Kevin Padrick. Below is a link to 3 Videos that were on the Summit Bankruptcy Blog, where insider, Bankruptcy Whistleblower Stephanie DeYoung exposes the inside details of the Summit Bankruptcy, as she reaches out to get Creditors support in an Objection to the Fees filed by several insiders.

This money was kept on the books of Obsidian Finance Group and none was refunded to Summit, this was affirmed by blogger Crystal Cox asking Patricia Whittington of Obsidian Finance Group, who is the VP and head accountant I believe.

This story is something I investigated and wrote on for years. I did not make it up, and the post I lost $2.5 Million on was not false, in my opinion, and according to my research.
Just because one Oregon CPA's Opinion convinced a jury and I was tricked into not testifying, this does not mean I am guilty of defamation. For the involvement of Tonkon Torp Law Firm, Obsidian Finance Group and Kevin Padrick in the Summit Bankruptcy was a scandal long before I showed up and gave powerful internet voice to their victims.
