Tales Of The New Crown: Boo Boo Barr Suddenly Announces Publication of Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework Jeff Sessions Put Together After Getting The Cooties Touch

Sometimes, it takes a rogue to catch a rogue... which may be why we have not heard from Boo Boo Barr since he got the cooties touch.

In 2018, Attorney General Jeff Sessions
established a Cyber-Digital Task Force within
the U.S. Department of Justice to evaluate the
impact that recent advances in technology
have had on law enforcement’s ability to
keep our citizens safe. Acknowledging the
many ways in which technological advances
“have enriched our lives and have driven our
economy,” the Attorney General also noted
that “the malign use of . . . technolog[y] harms
our government, victimizes consumers and
businesses, and endangers public safety and
national security.”

#maytheheavensfall


Attorney General William P. Barr announced today the release of “Cryptocurrency: An Enforcement Framework,” a publication produced by the Attorney General’s Cyber-Digital Task Force.  The Framework provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging threats and enforcement challenges associated with the increasing prevalence and use of cryptocurrency; details the important relationships that the Department of Justice has built with regulatory and enforcement partners both within the United States government and around the world; and outlines the Department’s response strategies. 

“Cryptocurrency is a technology that could fundamentally transform how human beings interact, and how we organize society.  Ensuring that use of this technology is safe, and does not imperil our public safety or our national security, is vitally important to America and its allies,” said Attorney General Barr.  “I am grateful to the Cyber-Digital Task Force for producing this detailed report, which provides a cohesive, first-of-its kind framework for those seeking to understand federal enforcement priorities in this growing space.”

“At the FBI, we see first-hand the dangers posed when criminals bend the important technological promise of cryptocurrency to illicit ends," said FBI Director Christopher Wray.   “As this Enforcement Framework describes, we see criminals using cryptocurrency to try to prevent us from 'following the money’ across a wide range of investigations, as well as to trade in illicit goods like criminal tools on the dark web. For example, the cyber criminals behind ransomware attacks often use cryptocurrency to try to hide their true identities when acquiring malware and infrastructure, and receiving ransom payments. The men and women of the FBI are constantly innovating to keep pace with the evolution of criminals' use of cryptocurrency."

“The United States has been enormously successful blocking terrorists, rogue regimes, and their supporters from funding their activity using traditional currencies,” said Task Force member John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division.  “As the Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework explains, we will adapt our strategy and tools to 21st century financing, including to combat the use of cryptocurrencies to evade enforcement and harm our national security.”

“Cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger technology present tremendous promise for the future, but it is critical that these important innovations follow the law.  The Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework provides the public with important information intended to help them understand and comply with their obligations under the legal regimes that govern these new and fast-developing technologies,” said Task Force member Brian C. Rabbitt, the acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division.  “While the Department of Justice and its partners are committed to supporting the advancement of legitimate cryptocurrency technologies and uses, we will not hesitate to enforce the laws that govern these technologies when necessary to protect the public.”

Task Force member Beth A. Williams, who serves as Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy, lauded the release of the Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework:  “The Department of Justice is committed to protecting the public from current and emerging cyber threats, including those involving cryptocurrency and related technologies.  This Framework reflects the Department’s extensive cooperation with domestic and international partners in ensuring that we are adequately addressing these challenges, to the benefit of lawful cryptocurrency users and the public at large.”

The Enforcement Framework opens with an introductory essay authored by the Task Force’s chair, Associate Deputy Attorney General Sujit Raman. 

Then, in Part I, the Framework provides a detailed threat overview, cataloging the three categories into which most illicit uses of cryptocurrency typically fall: (1) financial transactions associated with the commission of crimes; (2) money laundering and the shielding of legitimate activity from tax, reporting, or other legal requirements; and (3) crimes, such as theft, directly implicating the cryptocurrency marketplace itself. 

Part II explores the various legal and regulatory tools at the government’s disposal to confront the threats posed by cryptocurrency’s illicit uses, and highlights the strong and growing partnership between the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Commission, and agencies within the Department of the Treasury, among others, to enforce federal law in the cryptocurrency space.

Finally, the Enforcement Framework concludes in Part III with a discussion of the ongoing challenges the government faces in cryptocurrency enforcement—particularly with respect to business models (employed by certain cryptocurrency exchanges, platforms, kiosks, and casinos), and to activity (like “mixing” and “tumbling,” “chain hopping,” and certain instances of jurisdictional arbitrage) that may facilitate criminal activity.    

The Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework is the second detailed report issued by the Attorney General’s Cyber-Digital Task Force, which was established in February 2018 to answer two basic questions:  How is the Department of Justice responding to global cyber threats?  And how can federal law enforcement accomplish its mission in this area more effectively?  An earlier Task Force report, published in July 2018, canvassed a wide spectrum of cyber threats, ranging from transnational criminal enterprises’ sophisticated cyber-enabled schemes, to malign foreign influence operations, to efforts to compromise our nation’s critical infrastructure, and articulated the Department’s priorities in detecting, deterring, and disrupting cyber threats.

Additional Cyber-Digital Task Force members include Andrew E. Lelling, United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, and two senior FBI executives.  Components from across the Department contributed to the Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework’s drafting.

DOJ: United States Files Complaint Against Nutter Home Loans for Forging Certifications and Using Unqualified Underwriters to Approve Government-Insured Reverse Mortgages - Gerrymandering & The False Claims Act

If you think this is bad, just wait until we get to Detroit.

Just on a side note, I also found these questionable, federal reverse mortgages with the State of Ohio, but, hey, what do I know?

I know that #sealsmatter.

#maytheheavensfall


The United States has filed a complaint under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the False Claims Act against Nutter Home Loans, f/k/a James B. Nutter & Co. (Nutter), for forging certifications and using unqualified underwriters to approve Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), the Department of Justice announced today. 

“The HECM program benefits America’s seniors and our communities,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert Clark of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division.  “The Department is committed to holding accountable those who violate the bedrock requirements of this important program.”

“Companies participating in federal programs must operate with honor and integrity,” said Acting U.S Attorney Michael R. Sherwin for the District of Columbia.  “This settlement sends a clear message that we will not tolerate fraud against programs designed to financially help our nation’s seniors.”

“Lenders who willfully disregard FHA requirements for HECM loans expose the program to significant financial losses that threaten the future availability of this important program to seniors,” said Rae Oliver Davis, Inspector General, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.  “This complaint is evidence that we will tirelessly investigate allegations of abuses of the HECM program by FHA lenders.”

The FHA, part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), offers numerous mortgage insurance programs intended to help build and sustain strong communities across America.  The HECM program is a reverse mortgage program specifically for senior homeowners age 62 and older.  The program allows seniors to access the equity in their residences, and thereby age in place in their family home, through a mortgage agreement with a lender that is insured against loss by the FHA.  The United States’ complaint alleges that in order to significantly increase its loan production, Nutter used unqualified underwriters lacking the requirements established by HUD to review and approve HECMs that Nutter ultimately insured with the FHA.  Moreover, on other loans, Nutter forged the signatures of qualified underwriters to make it appear that a qualified underwriter had reviewed and approved the loan. 

This matter was investigated by the Commercial Litigation Branch of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, HUD, and HUD’s Office of Inspector General.  The claims asserted against the defendant are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.

DOJ: Quantadyn Corporation And Owner Settle False Claims Act Allegations of Bribery To Obtain Government Contracts For Simulators



The Department of Justice announced today that QuantaDyn Corporation (QuantaDyn), headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia, has agreed to resolve civil claims arising from allegations that it engaged in a bribery scheme to steer government contracts for training simulators to the company, as part of a broader settlement that includes a guilty plea by the company.  As part of the plea agreement, QuantaDyn has agreed to pay $37,757,713.91 in restitution, which also will resolve the company’s civil False Claims Act liability for the scheme.  William T. Dunn Jr., the majority owner, President, and Chief Executive Officer of QuantaDyn, has separately paid $500,000 to resolve his personal False Claims Act liability. 

“When government contractors pay bribes to military contracting officials to obtain contracts, they prevent both our military and the American taxpayers from receiving products that are procured fairly and objectively and at a reasonable price,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert Clark for the Department of Justice’s Civil Division.  “Today’s settlement demonstrates our continuing commitment to protecting the integrity of the government’s procurement process and ensuring that is untainted by fraud and corruption.” 

“I am proud that our team and our law-enforcement partners were able to obtain justice for the American taxpayer in this case.  We will not tolerate fraud against important federal programs,” stated U.S. Attorney John F. Bash for the Western District of Texas.

“The integrity of GSA’s contracting is vital to good government,” said U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Inspector General Carol Ochoa.  “Our special agents have been tireless in investigating corruption, and we will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to vigorously prosecute it wherever we find it.”

Founded in 2000, QuantaDyn is a privately held software engineering firm specializing in developing training simulation systems for Department of Defense agencies, including the Air Force and the Air National Guard, both as a prime contractor and a subcontractor.  

The civil settlement announced today, which was based on the company and Dunn’s ability to pay, resolves allegations that QuantaDyn, during the time period when Dunn was President, engaged in a bribery scheme to steer the award of government contracts for training simulators to QuantaDyn.  The United States alleged that while Dunn was QuantaDyn’s President, the company formed a corrupt partnership with an Air Force contracting official who provided procurement-sensitive information to QuantaDyn during the pre- and post-award phases of the contract in exchange for bribes.  The United States contended that, as a result of this scheme, QuantaDyn caused a prime contractor to submit false invoices to the United States.

Contemporaneous with the civil settlement, U.S. Attorney John F. Bash for the Western District of Texas announced that the United States and QuantaDyn have entered into a plea agreement to resolve criminal allegations related to the bribery scheme.  On Jan. 15, 2020, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas unsealed indictments against QuantaDyn, the former Air Force contracting official, and other individuals.  Under the plea agreement, QuantaDyn has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, serve a five-year term of probation and to take certain remedial measures, and pay $37,757,713.91 in restitution, a criminal penalty of $6,300,000, and forfeiture of $7,099,863.77.

This civil settlement was the result of a coordinated effort among the Civil Division’s Commercial Litigation Branch; the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas; the GSA Office of Inspector General (OIG), Greater Southwest and Rocky Mountain Investigations Division; the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS), Southwest Field Office; the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), Procurement Fraud Detachment 3 in San Antonio; the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, Major Procurement Fraud Unit (CID/MPFU), Southwestern Fraud Field Office; the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI); and the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), Headquarters, Operations Investigative Support Division (OIS).

Except as admitted in the plea agreement, the claims resolved by the civil settlement are allegations only and there has been no determination of liability.

DOJ: The Scripps Research Institute To Pay $10 Million To Settle False Claims Act Allegations Related To Mischarging NIH-Sponsored Research Grants - The Dark Descent Continues To Find The Tiny Humans

There are thousands more until we get to the tiny human lab rats....

#maytheheavensfall


The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has agreed to pay the U.S. $10 million to settle claims that it improperly charged NIH-funded research grants for time spent by researchers on non-grant related activities such as developing, preparing, and writing new grant applications, teaching, and engaging in other administrative activities, the Department of Justice announced today. 
“The NIH has finite resources to support important research across the nation,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark for the Department of Justice’s Civil Division.  “Today’s settlement demonstrates our commitment to protect those resources by ensuring that NIH grants funds are used for the purposes for which they were intended."
“Federal grant recipients must use the grant funds they receive on tasks that specifically relate to the funded project.  Those that improperly charge the government for costs unrelated to the project must be held accountable,” said U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur.  “The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Department of Justice have a duty to protect government resources and ensure they are used appropriately.”
“Taxpayers funds for medical research are finite and the need for scientific advances is great; therefore, it’s critical that these resources are used as intended,” said Special Agent in Charge Maureen R. Dixon, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.  “Working with our law enforcement partners, our investigators will continue to protect these resources so that they are spent appropriately.”
TSRI is a non-profit biomedical research institute with campuses located in Jupiter, Florida and La Jolla, California. TSRI receives millions of dollars in funding from NIH through hundreds of grants each year.  The settlement resolves allegations that between 2008 and 2016, TSRI failed to have a system in place for its faculty to properly account for time spent on activities that cannot be charged directly to NIH-funded projects or are unrelated to the research activities of the NIH-funded project.  Consequently, the U.S. contended that TSRI improperly charged time spent by faculty on developing, preparing, and writing new grant applications directly to existing NIH-funded projects, rather than allocating such charges as indirect costs.  The U.S. also alleged that TSRI improperly charged NIH-funded projects for time spent by its faculty on other activities unrelated to the funded projects, such as teaching, TSRI committee work, and other administrative tasks. 
The settlement resolves allegations originally brought in a lawsuit filed under the qui tam, or whistleblower, provisions of the False Claims Act by Thomas Burris, Ph.D, a former TSRI employee.  The act permits private parties to sue on behalf of the government for false claims for government funds and to receive a share of any recovery.  Dr. Burris will receive $1.75 million.
The settlement was the result of a coordinated effort by the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, and the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.
The case is captioned U.S. ex rel. Burris v. The Scripps Research Institute, Case No. 1:15-CV-01443 (D. Md.).  The claims resolved by the settlements are allegations only; there has been no determination of liability.

DOJ: Head of New York Medical Clinics Sentenced to 156 Months in Prison for Multimillion-Dollar Money Laundering and Health Care Kickbacks Scheme - Child Welfare

The end of Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare begins.

A Brooklyn man was sentenced to 156 months in prison today for his role in a vast multimillion-dollar health care kickback and money laundering conspiracy, the Department of Justice announced today.  

Aleksandr Pikus, 45, of Brooklyn, New York, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ann M. Donnelly of the Eastern District of New York.  Judge Donnelly also ordered Pikus to pay $39.4 million in restitution and to forfeit $2,614,233.  On Nov. 15, 2019, after a two-week trial, Pikus was convicted by a jury of one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, two counts of money laundering, one count of conspiracy to pay and receive health care kickbacks and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States by obstructing the IRS. 
“For nearly a decade, Aleksandr Pikus stole millions of dollars from the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs in a major healthcare kickback, money laundering and tax fraud scheme,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.  “This significant sentence holds Pikus accountable for his leadership role in this scheme and reflects the Department’s commitment to protecting our valuable federal healthcare programs and their beneficiaries from this kind of fraud.”
“The defendant’s key role in an elaborate scheme to steal and conceal tens of millions of dollars from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, was staggering in scope and deserving of the significant punishment he received today,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney DuCharme.  “This office takes very seriously its obligation to protect government funds that provide vital medical coverage counted upon by individuals and families who qualify because of their low income, disability or advanced years.”
“Pikus was the kingpin running a massive money laundering and kickback health care fraud syndicate,” said Scott J. Lampert, Special Agent in Charge for the Office of Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.  “Now, like others who plot to steal from government health programs, he is paying a heavy price for his crimes.  Along with our law enforcement partners, we will continue to root out individuals who steal vital taxpayer-provided health funds.” 
“The defendant’s greed and desire for money drove him to perpetrate crimes against our healthcare system and prey upon the vulnerable in our society.,” stated IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Larsen. “Justice has been served and IRS-CI will continue to work alongside our counterparts to uncover these schemes to hold these criminals accountable for their actions.”
According to evidence presented at trial, Pikus and his co-conspirators perpetrated a scheme through a series of medical clinics in Brooklyn and Queens over the course of nearly a decade, which clinics employed doctors, physical and occupational therapists, and other medical professionals who were enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  In return for illegal kickbacks, Pikus referred beneficiaries to these health care providers, who submitted claims to the Medicare and Medicaid programs. 
Pikus and his co-conspirators then laundered a substantial portion of the proceeds of these claims through companies he controlled, including by cashing checks at several New York City check-cashing businesses.  Pikus then failed to report that cash income to the IRS.  Instead, Pikus used the cash to enrich himself and others and to pay kickbacks to patient recruiters, who, in turn, paid beneficiaries to receive treatment at the medical clinics.  The evidence further established that Pikus and his co-conspirators used sham shell companies and fake invoices to conceal their illegal activities.
More than 25 other individuals have pleaded guilty to or been convicted of participating in the scheme, including physicians, physical and occupational therapists, ambulette drivers, and the owners of several of the shell companies used to launder the stolen money.
This case was investigated by the HHS-OIG and IRS-CI, and was brought as part of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, under the supervision of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.  Assistant Chief A. Brendan Stewart and Trial Attorneys Sarah Wilson Rocha and Andrew Estes of the Fraud Section are prosecuting the case.
The Fraud Section leads the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which is part of a joint initiative between the Department of Justice and HHS to focus their efforts to prevent and deter fraud and enforce current anti-fraud laws around the country.  Since its inception in March 2007, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, which maintains 15 strike forces operating in 24 districts, has charged more than 4,200 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for approximately $19 billion.  In addition, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, working in conjunction with the HHS-OIG, are taking steps to increase accountability and decrease the presence of fraudulent providers.

Millie Weaver, Alex Jones, Nancy Schaeffer & The Industry Of Trafficking Tiny Humans - CPS, Foster Care & Adoption

Oh, what a tangled web we weave... or rather Millie Weaver, that is!

It seems the Millie Weaver drama has caused a ripple effect throughout Pookie's Smarty Pants Network in the Ivory Tower upon the Hill.

This may not be based in a fraud upon a court of law for personal gain, nor a defective concept of what a sealed filing is.


Something tells me this is about trafficking tiny humans, or for those of you who prefer the politically correct industrial terms, CPS, Foster Care & Adoption.

For those of you who do not know, Alex Jones was the very first platform to address Child Protective Services and its horrors.

It was his launch to stardom.

You can skip through the video, below, to watch Alex Jones and Nancy Schaffer

I find the dichotomous presentations of the content of Millie the Weaver's character to be quite fascinating, yet extremely oxymoronic. 

As you will not watch the video, below, in its entirety, I want you to respect the passion of this father.

It could happen to you, but what would you do?

DOJ: Former Montgomery High School Assistant Principal Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charge

They do it all the time.

This is how they fund their campaigns.

#maytheheavensfall      


      Montgomery, Alabama – On Monday, August 17, 2020, Walter James, III, a 49-year-old from Montgomery, Alabama, and former Montgomery Public Schools employee, pleaded guilty to wire fraud, announced United States Attorney Louis V. Franklin, Sr., FBI Special Agent in Charge James Jewell, and Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall.
            According to court documents, while he was employed by the Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) system, James held himself out to be the owner of a consulting company, "ED-ONE Professional Development Services." He then collaborated with others at his high school and the MPS central office to submit fraudulent invoices for consulting or professional development services. The invoices listed vague descriptions of the types of services that the vendor supposedly rendered. For example, the invoices would include descriptions such as “books & materials,” “consulting,” or “three-day workshop.” However, James did not provide any professional development services or products of any kind to MPS, nor did any of the purported consulting companies on the corresponding invoices that James submitted for payment. As a result of this scheme, the submission of false invoices from August 2016 to April 2019 gave rise to a loss of more than $250,000.00 to MPS.
             James was charged with wire fraud on March 3, 2020. His sentencing hearing will be scheduled in the next few months and he is facing up to 20 years in prison and a significant fine. He will also be subject to an order of restitution for the stolen money.
            The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Alabama Attorney General’s Office, the Alabama Ethics Commission, and the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public Accounts investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorneys Thomas Govan and Jonathan Ross are prosecuting the case.

Prelude To Detroit: Dwight Mitchell, His Race To SCOTUS & Tiny Humans Trust Fund

Meet Dwight Mitchell.

Here is his original complaint.

https://familypreservationfoundation.org/pdf/1_complaint.pdf

There is an amended complaint, but it, too, had lots of defects, which is why the case was dismissed without prejudice, so I do not know why they took it took it to the Court of Appeals, because all they had to do was to correct procedural errors, that is, unless... they were attempting to fast track the case to SCOTUS in time of the DC #coloredrevolution, but hey, what do I know?

I know grifting when I see it because I see TCF Bank, which means I see Detroit.
TCF Bank is the wholly owned banking subsidiary of TCF Financial Corporation, a bank holding company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. 




I also know when I see predatory legal practices of dubious actors because the case is out Minnesota where the "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) of record spent more time on financially structuring its sustainability than trying to secure reunification of Mitchell's children, probably because they do not possess the legal acumen to utilize the proper nomenclature of the child welfare system.

There are far too many parents who will desperately latch on to any form of hope, even if there are nefarious goals behind the pro bono services, unbeknownst to the original parent.

There are even parents who would purvey their own children.

I wish them all well, even though there should be significant raised questions surrounding the possibility that their sustainability operations are foreign funded because I see tiny humans trust funds.

Conducted numerous land acquisitions for non-profit and for profit corporations.


STOP CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES FROM LEGALLY KIDNAPPING is a plaintiff to the action, but, is not registered in any state or federal as a legal entity, which means it has no legal standing to bring forth a claim, where the court did not even take the time to address this defect, but, then again, they do not have to.

Mitchell's "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) failed to file any corporate parent disclosure, which is probably why it did not address jurisdictional standing of STOP CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES FROM LEGALLY KIDNAPPING.

The term LEGALLY KIDNAPPED originated from http://legallykidnapped.blogspot.com.

Mitchell's attorneys brought forth claims of his children, without addressing his legal standing to act on behalf of his children.

I have no idea if his parental rights were terminated but I do know that Mohrman, Kaardal & Erickon and the courts have absolutely no idea of what Parental Rights are because they are "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending).


There were no claims against the privately, contracted service providers.

Mitchell used race as a vehicle to file this action without citation of specific policies or explaining what race is, how it is measured, how membership of this group based animus is determined, or how it was relevant to his non-registered working group, comprised of a hodge podge of terms lifted from the work of other individuals, who would have graciously assisted in the construction of the arguments.

Mitchell's "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) did not even request issuance of summons for the amended complaint.

Nor, was the State of Minnesota named as a defendant.

Now, there is Mitchell's 501c3, The Family Preservation Foundation, which, oddly enough, was not listed as a party to complaint.
The Family Preservation Foundation, Inc. (FPF), is a not-for-profit, national public interest organization dedicated to the idea of rescuing children from unwarranted forced parental separation, family preservation, family first ideology, and restoring the respect for children's rights through litigation on the constitutionality of the preservation of the family unit. Working nationally, FPF desires to defend and foster support for these causes through litigation by providing private pro bono legal services from local trial courts all the way to the United States Supreme Court for all children. Currently most states do not provide attorneys to children; FPF seeks to fill this gap.
But, this, is how you know it is a grifting organization because it is a registered out New Jersey:  FAMILY PRESERVATION FOUNDATION INC. 0450281899 PISCATAWAY NP 06/2018 , where it is also soliciting funding, online, under the name of https://stopcpslegallykidnappingchildren.org/


https://stopcpslegallykidnappingchildren.org/ways-to-give.html
Our nation has the opportunity to better serve the most vulnerable members of our society, it's children. It is time for us to give back. Helps us protect the children in America. Keep them safe from unconstitutional laws which are focused on family removal and separation, and not on "family first" values of preservation of the family unit.

Across America, children` and families right to fair and impartial justice is at stake. Special interests are spending millions to influence decisions and elect judges to serve their narrow interest, not the public interest.

Make A Stock Gift
Gifts of stock offer a tax benefit in two ways. First, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increased value of the stock. Second, you can take a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock on the date of the gift. For example, if you’re in the top tax bracket, purchased securities for $10,000 in 2000, and they are now valued at $20,000, you would have to pay $2,380 in federal capital gains tax if you sold them today. However, if you give those same securities to Family Preservation Foundation, you not only receive a tax deduction of $20,000; you also avoid paying any tax on the $10,000 gain from the original investment.
You may make a gift of stock by asking your stock broker to transfer the number of shares you would like to donate to the
Family Preservation Foundation. For further information on how to donate stock, contact Aska Mitchell at +1 (732) 377-2038, or
by email: asm@scpslkc.org.

Memorial Gifts & Memorial Funds
Memorial Gifts or Funds may be made to remember deceased loved ones. This meaningful tribute will help honor their memory and their values for years to come. If you would like to make a memorial gift, simply make note of your wishes and send it in with the donation. For further information on how to set up a memorial gift or fund to Family Preservation Foundation, contact Aska Mitchell at +1 (732) 377-2038, or by email: asm@scpslkc.org.

Gifts through your Living Trust or Will
One of the most common ways to remember the Family Preservation Foundation and help carry us on our programs is to leave a gift in your will. You can name a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of what is left, after you leave specific gifts for family and friends.
You can also designate the foundation as a beneficiary of all or part of your state-and you can’t update you a beneficiary at any time.
The simplest way to advance the work of Family Preservation Foundation is by updating your living trust or will and making the Family Preservation Foundation a beneficiary. Simply contact your attorney and ask to add the following language to your living trust or will:
“I give, devise and bequeath to the Family Preservation Foundation (Tax ID: 83-0976811), 200 Centennial Ave, Suite 200, Piscataway, NJ 08854 (insert specific dollar amount, percentage, or residue of my estate), for its general use and purpose.”
By making this simple update to your estate plan, you will make a significant impact on the Family Preservation Foundation’s work to promote a culture of life, and you will avoid all federal, state, and local estate taxes that might affect the heirs of your estate.

Retirement Plan
Estate planning does not have to be complicated. And fact, some people may overlook one of the simplest ways to make a gift to us-by designating the Family Preservation Foundation as the beneficiary of your pension plan, IRA, 401(k) or self employed plan.
Since the Family Preservation Foundation is a non-profit organization, we pay no-income or state tax. This means 100% of your designated gift will go towards creating an impact for children and their families.
Federal legislation was recently passed, making the IRA-Charity Rollover a permanent provision in U.S. tax law. Individuals who are 70½ or older may make a charitable gift to Family Preservation Foundation directly from their IRA. This tax-free contribution is a wonderful way to support our mission.
Advantages to donors include:
- The IRA Charitable Rollover permits you to make donations directly to the Family Preservation Foundation from your IRA without counting the distribution as part of your adjusted gross income (AGI) and without paying taxes on the amounts donated.
- You will not need to recognize the distribution as income for federal income tax purposes.
- The distribution can count towards your minimum required IRA distribution.
Consult your financial advisor to see what is best for your particular state plan. It important to take steps to update your beneficiary regularly to reflect any life changes and current wishes.

Life-Insurance
You can leave a gift from your bank account, brokerage account or life insurance policy. By Naming beneficiaries on the policies, the processes can pay directly to the family preservation foundation.
Life-Insurance also offers a wonderful way to make a charitable gift.
