In what seems to some, as never ending Bizarre twists of Conflicts and more in the $65 Billion dollar Bernard Madoff Ponzi Investigation, the newly appointed Chief of the Criminal Division in the US Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York, Richard B. Zabel, has recently been forced off the Madoff Investigation. Zabel’s father, William Zabel, represents Jeffrey Picower of Palm Beach, Florida who is allegedly complicit in the Madoff scheme according to the SDNY Bankruptcy Trustee in the Madoff case.

The story linked from ABC News reported by Brian Ross and Joseph Rhee on October 9, 2009. Preet Bharara, who previously was the chief counsel to Senator Charles E. Schumer, confirmed as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York in August 2009, a short time ago. Now, Bharra’s Chief of the Criminal Division Richard Zabel just Appointed this week, October 2009, is removed from all Madoff Investigation matters due to Conflicts of Interest.

“He has recused himself from any involvement in the Madoff case,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office, Rebekah Carmichael, told ABCNews.com Friday. Zabel’s appointment announced Tuesday. The spokeswoman declined to provide any details about who would oversee and supervise the Madoff investigation.

In court documents, trustee lawyers allege Picower was the “biggest beneficiary of Madoff’s scheme,” clearing more than $7.2 billion. The trustee alleged the money was “a form of compensation by Madoff to Picower for perpetuating the Ponzi scheme.” The U.S. Attorney’s office declined to say whether Picower is considered a target of the criminal investigation.

In what has received little if any real attention from the major media sources currently, former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey under former President Bush had previously recused himself from the Madoff Affairs while acting as the top US Attorney General allegedly due to the work of his son Marc Mukasey who was representing Madoff’s right hand man Frank DiPascali. DiPascali has since Pled Guilty in Federal court to Fraud charges in August, the same month Bharra was confirmed by the US Senate to take over the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District.

Marc Mukasey has worked with Rudy Guliani’s firm during these years while Guliani’s former Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik awaits trial on federal charges in White Plains, New York including allegations of taking several hundred thousand dollars of renovations from a construction company allegedly connected to organized crime families.

According to one source, Lawyers in the Madoff case say another set of indictments expected shortly after Labor Day have been held up as a new prosecutorial team settles in to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan.

In related news, Trillion Dollar Inventor, Eliot I. Bernstein filed Motions which are still pending at the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals to address the very types of conflicts in his 12 Count 12 Trillion Dollar RICO, Anti-trust and related lawsuit, that have surfaced above in the Madoff case. The Bernstein Motions also discuss Conflicts centering on the Madoff saga where the Proskauer Rose law firm publicly identified as having the most clients in the Madoff scheme while simultaneously being at the heart of allegations in the Trillion-dollar Iviewit saga now known as “Patentgate”. Inventor Bernstein’s Motion at the US Second Circuit is to Compel the Court to address Conflicts of Interest and other matters according to law which have been ignored while the Court and attorneys perpetuate never ending Conflicts.

Another Proskauer / Madoff tie came from the SEC OIG stinging report on Madoff harshly criticizing lax regulators for overlooking the Madoff information from WHISTLEBLOWERS & others inside the SEC, for years. According to TPM, in 2004 an SEC attorney, Genevievette Walker-Lightfoot, notified the SEC of the Ponzi but was forced out of her job, the SEC later settling a claim filed by Lightfoot. Upon termination, Lightfoot turned over the Madoff file to Jacqueline Wood who then presumably buried the report that could have exposed the Ponzi in 04. SEC OIG’s report mentions Wood of Proskauer throughout the entire report as a key figure in the regulatory failure. http://www.sec.gov/news/studies/2009/oig-509.pdf . After leaving the SEC, Wood took a Proskauer partnership.

Inventor Bernstein’s RICO and related case was marked legally “related” in the US District Court of Judge Shira Scheindlin to the federal Whistleblower case of Christine C. Anderson who has been exposing systemic corruption within the Manhattan based NYS First Department Appellate Division where Wall Street lawyers are regulated. Anderson subjected to threats, assault and intimidation for exposing the criminal activities of the First Department. The Anderson case is heading to trial soon and now scheduled to begin Jury Selection on Oct 13, 2009 if not delayed by the appearance of recent additional counsel for Anderson.

Inventor Bernstein also has a Motion to Disqualify pending in the SDNY Bankruptcy Court of Judge Martin Glenn for Judge Glenn’s repeatedly failing to respond to and address conflicts of interest in the Bankruptcy proceedings of Silicon Graphics Inc. ( SGI ). SGI filed a second protection petition in Chapter 11 just 6 days after receiving Notice from Bernstein of a Formal SEC Complaint filed by Bernstein alleging a possible Trillion Dollar fraud involving the Intel Corporation ( Intel ), SGI and Defense giant Lockheed Martin ( Lockheed ). Intel, SGI and Lockheed were owners of Real3d Inc., a graphics company located in Orlando, Florida on Lockheed property whose history traces back to the Apollo Lunar Space projects. Real3d Inc was under signed Non Disclosure Agreement and Licensing Agreements and more with Bernstein and his companies Iviewit. The technologies were tested, validated and used in the Real3d Labs and leading Engineers from Intel, Lockheed and SGI and Real3d called the technologies “priceless.”

Formal Intel SEC complaint found @ http://www.iviewit.tv/CompanyDocs/United%20States%20District%20Court%20Southern%20District%20NY/20090325%20FINAL%20Intel%20SEC%20Complaint%20SIGNED2073.pdf

Inventor Bernstein and his family suffered an Iraqi style Car Bombing of their Family Minivan in Boynton Beach, Florida while preparing Court papers relating to the Trillion Dollar fraud, intellectual property and Patent theft. The claims have elevated to charges of Fraud Upon The United States Patent & Trademark Offices ( USPTO ), World Patent Agencies, the Federal Small Business Administration and more. The Commissioner of Patents suspended Bernstein’s patents several years ago while Harry I. Moatz of the USPTO’s Office of Enrollment and Discipline investigates attorneys involved in the Fraud from Proskauer Rose, Foley & Lardner and more with Federal Agents. Bernstein’s former patent counsel Kenneth Rubenstein of Proskauer and MPEGLA counsel, is alleged to have used Bernstein’s invention to enrich his patent pooling schemes at MPEGLA while using Anticompetitive Monopolistic Practices to annihilate Bernstein and his companies. Proskauer has since acquired Rubenstein and control of the patent pools, blocking Bernstein, their client, from his royalties. Full pictorial evidence of the car bombing found @ www.iviewit.tv .

In the SDNY Bankruptcy Court of Judge Glenn, a major Wall Street law firm, Davis Polk & Wardell LLP ( DPW ) ) was found to be simultaneously representing Lockheed, Silicon Graphics, the Accountants for Silicon Graphics, and major Market players like Morgan Stanley and CIBC at the same time in the case and more. Sales transactions between Lockheed, Silicon Graphics and Intel are at issue in the BK creating obvious and overwhelming Conflicts of Interest for the law firm. Inventor Bernstein also pointed out to the Bankruptcy Court that the law firm had recruited back to the firm former SEC Enforcement officer Linda Chatman Thomsen who left the SEC in Feb. 2009 after coming under fire for the SEC failures in the Madoff matters. According to published sources, Linda Chatman Thomsen recruited back to the DPW firm just 4 days after Inventor Bernstein filed an Emergency Motion in the Bankruptcy Court announcing the related Trillion Dollar fraud and other allegations.
