Hi,

Imagination, fantasies in the litigation world are I am sure largely responsible for the ills you visit upon me. Those for the most part fed by your mother’s insasiable appetite for conflict, or rather anything that might harm me.

This is OK, if she did not drag you particularly, and your brothers into your conflict.

As to my successes, yes I do very well in litigation and have achieved a great deal in this effort provoked by your mother’s departure considering the havoc she caused to my ressourses, depleting all of my cash and so forth. I have accepted and moved on. She obviously cannot as demonstrated by her ill motivated attempt to assist some thieving garage in England.

I can read the clocked sarcasm in your invitation regarding my visits to New York City, a place I have no regrets abandonning in this world of email, drop boxes and other technology. I can sit on my Island, in real time connection with the world, enjoy my retirement, and life in the sun in general – with only one regret, my inability to break the log jam preventing reconciliation with all of you.

I find it hard to believe that all these people you mention would love to see me – providing it is in New York – when I have time and again offered to pay their travel and housing to visit me.

Incidently, I never said that the Richmond County DA paid the damages for false arrest and all of the components of my damages in 1991 through 2002 when the case was forever dismissed. The prosecution was assigned to the French Government who accepted, all of the acts complained of were performed by French judiciary officers and administrators. Having accepted the assignment and the prosecution of what was determined to be inexistant, or clearly unproven allegations, the French State stood in the shoes of the Staten Island DA. The monies were paid by the French State.

Finally, I promised your mother that I would not arrange to see her in Paris or anywhere, or announce my presence because of her phobia and vivid imagination. Should I come to the US to visit you and your brothers etc this would undoubtedly provoque her anxiety and more madness. Look at what just knowledge of her visits to GiGi provoked, and this because my agreement with my mother was that I be told when your mother was visiting so that I could abstain from any visits at that time. Precisely to accomplish what she wanted.

Nothing would make me happier than to see my children and grandchildren, but your invitation is cloaked in an obvious sarcasm and unstated threat.

You once again fly off the handle. I am sure you have access to both the agreement and the irrevocable power. At the onset I do not have irrevocable and unfettered rights, those rights are indeed such but only as respects the excluded assets (pension, Keogh, IRA for example) and non-US assets including but not limited to automobiles etc. I do not and have not ever submitted the power of attorney for any reason other than as permitted, as acknowledged by the trial courts when and wherever submitted. As to her worrying in respect to criminal complaints, I suggest you go back to the law books, an agent in the scope of a civil disposition cannot plead guilty to a crime on behalf of his principal. As to your mother being in a position to help the garage, are you stating that the sworn affidavits she signed (2 of them) and the police complaints were not designed to help the garage ? They will be very disappointed, since they have indicated that their action (and expense) were founded in large part on their reliance on those very affidavits and complaints. Before embarking on outrageous legal arguments as you do here (and not so veiled theaths.) I suggest you consider the skill and intelligence of the recipient – you are no match and have neither fact nor law on your side.

Things coming roses for me ? Is that bad, or is that suggesting your have a nasty plan in the works. Once again you mother assisted by the limited value of your assistance continues to stirr the pot, noting that I have done nothing but help your mother since the end of the litigation some 15+ years ago. Only your side has provoked, created conflict and attacked me.

Once again you take things out of their context, as you know, I am stating that if we are to have peace, all children notably yourself have to refuse to get involved in the conflict between she and I (if there is a conflict it is only generated by her and your actions). To the contrary of your recitals, I have encouraged reconciliation for this family. That can never happen if your side does not want peace. I have also stated that in 15+ years your mother (my wife) is the only one who has caused conflict going as far as your ignorant complaint to the DA, and numerous other unprovoked behavior culminating for the moment in her two supporting and false affidavits for the garage, and her criminal complaints against me regarding the same. Nothing in my wishes or requests touch upon your being a good son. However the loyalty you owe your mother is equal to the loyalty you owe your father and in conflict situations, children must NOT take sides, either side. But for your taking sides the relationship between me and the three of you could have survived and indeed prospered.

As to your egregious “thought”, the only planner of evil, illegal devices intending to hurt, is your mother assisted by yourself. The affidavits are lies intended to influence a court of law, thus illegal; the filing of two police complainst have been determinied to be false, that is illegal. I have done nothing in 15 years and you cannot point to a single event of a devious, evil or illegal scheme on my part to hurt your mother (the civil case in which she improperly intervened did not involve her). On point however is that your assistance is exactly that which has magnified her problems and risk – the GFT has a $ 600.000+ claim against her because of you, my mother better than a million, her share of the French taxers I paid for her over a half million… all of which you were a player enjoying your time in my absence, and mental depression due to her leaving.

Please do not mistate me, I have stated that you should not get involved in any conflict between me and your mother, but I only stated that in respect to reaching peace and reconciliation which would in my view benefit everyone. If peace and reconciliation are not a targetted accomplishment on your side then, go right ahead be the objective lawyer you cannot be and continue to draw your mother closer to the fire. I have no devious, evil, illegal scheme to hurt your mother, I rest comfortable that I have done nothing but enjoy life for the last 15 years, with the sole and unique exception of trouble brewing from your mother and you.

Steal ? Me ? You have things in reverse and expect fully to fill your coffers on her death, and this assuredly to the detriment of your brothers. Then it may very well be that I rise against you to protect what is mine, and what is theirs. Another reason for you to encourage peace and not provoke war as you seem to do now.

I will not respond to your recitals of pretended deeds against your mother, they are false, exaggerated and ludicrous. Such terms were only used in decisions of the New Courts where I could not then appear. You’ll get your chance if you want to go down that road, as and before a very cartesian court – good luck – as noted in the record the only sufferer of abuse is myself – so say the French jurisdictions. Peace was possible in 1995, it was refused – you were the primary instigator of theft and stole $ 650.000 from the GFT which you credited to a non-beneficiary passing over me which you could not do. You have great personal risk here as well. Peace David, that is the only salvation for your mother and you.

I’m not sure you can think rationally, name one thing, just one in the last 15 years that I have done which fits the description : horrible, monstrous evil, sociopathic, delusional and cruel… as to sticking your mother with “my” tax bill ? Surely you jest, the tax names her, not me, and I paid it without disclosing where she lives or other information that could have put the French fisc via the IRS at her door. She refused to appear and defend – when I stepped up to the plate, she refused to cooperate in her defense.

For your information, I have not sought conflict with your mother, each and every instance of conflict was initiated by her or you, and after winning against all of those, I have not once pursued her or you though I could easily have (you are both French citizens, and therefore subject to worldwide French jurisdiction). I have a great life, am very happy (though sad for my failure to find a means to peacefully reconcile with all of you). I have never been convicted of anything, and since the Staten Island DA case in 1986 (which was dismissed) I have never been charged of any criminal undertaking. Even that case only involved a violation of the Banking Statute, a very very white collar crime which would have had very little consequence even if convicted. All the rest of your allegations are pure fiction.

I have a wife, your mother and three older kids.

Strangely enough, I am loved by hundreds and particularly by those closest to me. As to your mother, you created the mess for her and she went along because you manipulated her uncontrolled and wholly unjustified hatred. I have not done anything to hurt your mother, which is not the case on her side. With millions abscounded by your mother I would hope that you would not ask me for anything under present conflictual consequences. Peace and reconciliation are the only way to change that.

Do you know what a heart crushing rejection it is for a husband and father to repeatedly reach out with tenderness and forgiveness and invite his wife and children to to put aside the worldly clamors for a moment and connect as human beings and wife and children to their father.

Your mother should retire from the business of doing anything at any cost to obtain more money and hurt me. She is acting in a delusional, psychopathic way that frightens and alienates people on my side of the world (including at least one of you). I fear she will be despised by all and pennyless at her death.

I do agree, that not you, your mother or their counsel would be capable of deciphering and navigating my web of financial structures, entities and persons and assets. At the onset because there is no such thing.

We shall see. You have tried in the past with harshness and haven’t accomplished a thing that I haven’t accepted. Nothing you say is for my benefit, and your conclusion justifies and facilitates my decision. Unless you by extraordinary find a way to reach compromise and peace, I will raise the army necessary to crush you and your mother economically (by forcing payment is what is owed). As you say this is not going to end well for you. The harsh fist is the only thing you understand. You should know better than to threathen me.

Sadly, bring it on.

Meilleures salutations Best regards Med vennlig hilsen
