I believe that this HIT is costing the State of Oregon, as the Hand Outs in Oregon Land, Tax Breaks, Tax Credits and more deals surrounding Obsidian Finance Group and their many Solar Companies are what created the Black Cap Solar Project that Pacificorp has wattage contracts on for really big money and for many years into the future.

Kevin D. Padrick is an Evil Snake, in my Opinion. Preying on victims in financial crisis and bullying companies and individuals into doing as he wishes so that he and Obsidian Finance Group can make Billions. The Lake County Solar Farms, as far as I see it are Government handouts to Millions like Kevin Padrick and David Brown of Obsidian Finance Group. The land was free or cheap, wasn't it? The solar tax credits were the assets to get loans on to build more and in the end the clients, customers of Pacificorp pay the price for all this high finance magic that used your tax dollars to make massive money for Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick, David Brown through deals with Pacificorp.

I believe that Kevin Padrick is the king of stealing trade secrets and putting companies and individuals to ruin, and Tonkon Torp's David Aman helps him to do it. Just what I believe, in my opinion. Obviously you will want to READ and do your own due diligence.

Re: False and Defamatory Statements Concerning Kevin Padrick and
Obsidian Finance Group, LLC
Dear Ms. Cox:
As you know, I represent Kevin Padrick ("Padrick"), the trustee of the Summit Accommodators Liquidating Trust and the Chapter 11 trustee of the bankruptcy estate of Summit Accommodators, Inc. I also represent Obsidian Finance Group, LLC ("Obsidian"). Mr. Padrick is a Senior Principal of Obsidian.
You have made and continue to make numerous false and defamatory statements regarding Mr. Padrick and Obsidian on several websites you maintain, including www.obsidianfinancesucks.com .
The false and defamatory statements include at least the following:
. Padrick has committed fraud against the government.
Padrick "stole [money] from the US Government."
Padrick has engaged in "illegal" and "fraudulent" activity.
• Padrick is "corrupt" and has engaged in "Corruption, Fraud, Tax Crimes,
Solar Tax Credit Crimes."
• Padrick is a liar.
• Padrick pays off the media and politicians.
• "Did Oregon Attorney Kevin Padrick hire a hitman to kill me?"
• Padrick has committed tax fraud.
• Padrick is "guilty of Fraud, Deceit on the Government, Illegal Activity,Money Laundering, Defamation, Harassment"
"Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance LLC is a Criminal, he has broken many laws in the last 2 years to do with the Summit 1031 case and regardless of the guilt of the Summit 1031 principals, Kevin Padrick is a THUG and a Thief hiding behind the Skirt tails of a corrupt un-monitored bankruptcy court system and protected by Corrupt Bend DA and Corrupt Bend Oregon Judges.
And I will Expose every detail of every law he broke, every secret hand shake and back alley deal.. every solar credit fraud.. every sale to a friend or cronie of real estate consumer money and every indiscretion[.]"
All of the statements listed above are baseless. Padrick and Obsidian demand that you remove them from your websites immediately and that you stop making any further false and defamatory statements about them.
David S. Aman"
Here is the 2.5 Million Dollar Post. I posted it in response to the Cease and Desist.
Yes it is still up, I was never asked to take it down. I believe it to be True to the best of the Information I have. One Oregon CPA's "Opinion" without documented facts regarding the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy Proceedings, is NOT Fact, it is Opinion. The Subject Post that got me a fraudulent 2.5 Million Dollar Judgement was on others sites before it was on Bankruptcy Corruption .com, here is the same EXACT post on the Obsidian Sucks Blog.
http://obsidianfinancesucks.blogspot.com/2010/12/why-investigative-blogger-crystal-l-cox_24.html
Folks, there were Conflicts of Interest, Bankruptcy Code Violations, and Millions of Dollars with no accountability in the Summit Bankruptcy. Dig deep into years of contracts, lawsuits, emails, documents, audios, videos and more if interested and if not then don't simply blame the messenger and call it good. I am NOW and always have been TELLING THE TRUTH about these guys.
So Next, after the Cease and Desist, and after my response posts, I got wind that they had filed the lawsuit, though I had not been served. So on Jan. 19th, 2011 at 2:23 PM MST. I responded to the Cease and Desist Email with a letter, email that stated that I don't think Kevin acted with the Highest of Integrity but at this point in my life it is time to think of me.
Another words, I did not want to go through a lawsuit as I felt that the Summit Principals had already been charged and needed to do what was best for me, though I fully felt and still do, that Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick and Tonkon Torp Law Firm have done the "things" I allege they have done.
Here is the Email that David Aman, Made Public
"From: Crystal L. Cox [mailto:savvybroker@yahoo.com]
Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 2:23 PM
To: David Aman
Subject: From Crystal L. Cox
To: David Aman
Subject: From Crystal L. Cox
Hello David, I hope this eMail finds you doing well. All said and done, looks like Summit boys going to Jail.. and Well I don't think that Kevin acted with the Highest of Integrity.. however at this Point in my Life it is Time to Think of Me. So I want to Let you know and Obsidian Finance that I am now offering PR Services and Search Engine Management Services starting at $2500 a month to promote Law Firms... Finance Companies.. and to protect online reputations and promote businesses.. Please Let me know if Tonkon Torp or Obsidian Finance is interested in this service.. thanks for your time.. " |
This was ONE email in a Series of Negotiating Emails with David S. Aman, Tonkon Torp Law Firm.
I offered services as this had been over 3 years, and that was what would work for me. This monthly fee is totally acceptable and far cheaper then their proposal of me paying them $5000 every time I mention any of their names.
David Aman, on behalf of the Plaintiff made several offers to me to end the lawsuit. Most would have me committing a crime, by lying and blaming others falsely because David Aman did not like them, and this would get me out of a 10 Million Dollar Lawsuit. I took the high road and said NO.
The Summit Principals as far as I knew at that time, were going to jail and the case was over, so why spend years in a lawsuit. So I offered what would work for me to STOP a Lawsuit. David Aman made it look like extortion, a crime and defamed me in Big Media. I have proof that David Aman was the one that sent the email to the "Media".
David S. Aman, Tonkon Torp Attorney replied on January 21, 2011, 12:20 PM, he asked what I was Proposing, what benefit it was to them, and more.
On Monday, January 24th, 10 days after Obsidian V. Cox was Filed in a Federal Court in Portland Oregon, I emailed what I was "proposing" and that in no way was I offering to Remove anything at all.
These emails can be subpoenaed in original format. Why did the New York Times, Forbes, and a Federal Judge Simply believe ONE Attorney, and one whose law firms will lose Millions if the Summit Creditors found out of the Connection with Pamela Griffith DOJ Trustee, and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp. They all made millions and even created more debt than Summit went bankruptcy for. And for some reason they are all above the law and its legal for them to ruin me, threaten me, set me up, simply for EXPOSING Them, and posting the story of those involved, that was not me making anything up and was NEVER my Story. I was reporting the story and continue to do so.
Knowing Full well that the email was one of several in a Negotiation between attorneys, David Aman, of Tonkon Torp Law Firm proceeded to make me look like a Criminal, Guilty of Extortion, though I had no been on trial for extortion, nor had a complaint even been filed, nor had I offered to remove anything for money. This false information led to many detrimental events and negative affects on me, Pro Se Defendant Crystal Cox.
David Aman is a THUG, a Liar, a Bully, and he breaks Rules of Procedure, Lies about cooperation and commits Fraud on the Courts in Flat Out Lies about Defendants, such as me. David Aman violated the Oregon Constitution, the U.S. Constitution, and violated my Rights. David Aman set me up, participated in a Hate Crime against me, painted me in False Light in Big Media, lied to a federal charge regarding a crime I was not on trial for and David Aman has committed serious Ethics Violations and Fraud on the Courts.

Investigative Blogger Crystal L. Cox, Press Release on what she believes happened in the Summit Bankruptcy Part One
http://www.docstoc.com/docs/110162783/Kevin-Padrick-Summit-Bankruptcy-Questions-by-Crystal-L-Cox-Blogger
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."

~ 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.

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."
