Was Annie Buell and the Tennant Family Conspiring with a Bankruptcy Trustee in Cover Ups and Crimes in the Summit Bankruptcy?
More Possible 1104a Bankruptcy Code Violations. Kevin Padrick Declaration, Objection to the Fees Response. Summit 1031 Bankruptcy, Bend Oregon.
The Document below is a a Declaration by Kevin D. Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group in August of 2009 in Response to the Objection to Attorney and Professional Fees of Obsidian Finance Group LLC, Trustee Kevin Padrick and Tonkon Torp LLC and Written Request for Hearing.
This declaration seems to flat out lie about Bankruptcy Whistleblower Stephanie DeYoung, and Kevin Padrick sure does want to make sure it is known that he did not want any notes taken at his Feb. 12th 2009 presentation to the Debtors, which is in video at http://www.youtube.com/user/KevinPadrick
This Declaration has Kevin Padrick admitting to knowing about the blog www.Summit1031BkJustice.com - yet he claims that I am the one that got the information online about him and David Brown of Obsidian Finance Group claims I am the only one that has an issue and Kashmir Hill of Forbes and David Carr of the New York Times tell the world I am the only one with an issue with Kevin Padrick. Yet on that blog was documents, proof, insider emails, an objection to the fees filed by several insiders and more. And that blog was up for years until my Trial when the blog author, out of fear, dropped the blog.
Kevin Padrick goes on and on about the videos and the blog, yet seems to have no real reason as to why he can legally be the Trustee and charge so much, which is what the Objection to the Fees is really about.
In This Declaration by Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance, Line 6 page 4, Kevin Padrick talks about the Fact that the "Debtor" engaged "Obsidian", yet at my Trial Obsidian V. Cox, I asked Kevin Padrick on the Stand Under Oath if he was under Contract with Summit and he plainly, flat out said NO. And acted as if Summit was scoundrels and he would never do such a thing.
Kevin Padrick attached an "Engagement Letter" as an Exhibit to this "Declaration" yet later claimed he was not under contract with Summit nor would he as they were such bad guys. (Read my Court Transcript, Kevin Padrick really laid it on thick.)
So Kevin Padrick on Line 6 page 4 talks of the "Engagement Letter", he says is dated January 8th, 2009. So when Kevin Padrick, on line 8 page 2 talks of a meeting on February 12th, 2009, this means that Kevin Padrick was already under contract with Summit, the Debtors and this meeting was about what Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was to do for his clients, whom he later turned on and became the Trustee. Kevin Padrick demanded no notes be taken at this meeting, why? It is his clients, there was an engagement letter, a contract, right? These guys paid Kevin Padrick $100,000 to advise them right? Why the secrecy?
And on Page 48 of this Declaration there is the contract dated December 18th 2008. Signed by Patricia Whittington of Obsidian Finance Group for Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group. So they were under contract long before that meeting and way before Kevin Padrick became the Trustee, IS THIS LEGAL ?
Kevin Padrick claims, at my trial (Obsidian V. Cox) that he did not give a presentation to the Creditors Committee, yet there is a court audio of Judge Randall Dunn discussing that presentation.
Kevin Padrick plainly admits to being under contract with the Debtor, Obsidian Finance Group had a Signed Contract with the Debtor and took $100,000. Was this NOT a profession conflict of interest? Was Kevin Padrick in a Breach of Contract with Summit? Was Kevin Padrick an insider in control of the Debtor and therefor NOT legally allowed to be the Trustee, essentially on the opposite side of the Debtor, his Client. Was Kevin Padrick truly a "Disinterested Party" as Bankruptcy Code Requires a Trustee to be? Why Did Sussman Shank, Perkins Coie, Pamela Griffith of the DOJ, and Judge Randall Dunn push so hard to get Kevin Padrick into the role of Trustee of the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy?
Also, there were more then one that filed the Objection to the Fees, why did Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group focus on one woman? Was it because she knew the truth, had the documentation, had videos and knew that Kevin Padrick was in breach of contract and possibly breaking bankruptcy codes?
Kevin Padrick talks of the 11.8 Million, the Boulder Property and more in this declaration in which I had in the blog post they sued me on, yet when I post the information it is Defamation? That is Simply not True. I told Judge Hernandez that most of the information in that post was in Public Documents and I attached as an Exhibit more then once and still I was denied.
Page 13 Seems to show that Kevin Padrick betrayed his own clients, there were MANY who had concern, I, Crystal Cox Blogger was simply getting their story that was already out there online and in court documents, found at the top of the search engines. I did not lie, nor did I defame, nor did I make up that information. And I certainly did DEEP "Fact Checking" and for years.
Page 14 shows Summit upset that they are not allowed to take notes at a meeting with a man they had already been given an engagement letter, and was seemingly under contract with. Kevin Padrick even includes Stephanie DeYoung's blog in his Declaration, then later claims I, and I alone defamed him and he had no idea why?
On Page 15 Padrick claimed, under oath that he did not meet with the Creditors Committee. He claims here that it was at the request of Terry Vance, however I don't think that is true from what I have heard over 3 years of investigating the Summit Bankruptcy. And well Terry Vance certainly Denies it on page 15 of Kevin Padrick's Declaration which is pages from Bankruptcy Whistleblower, Summit Insider Stephanie DeYoung's Blog.
Kevin yammers and says that's what we were told??? WHAT? Kevin Padrick took a meeting with the Creditors Committee and there is to this day no one that seems to admit having asked him to the meeting, so was it his old Miller Nash connection Steven Hedberg the Creditors Committee's attorney from Perkins Coie Or was it Sussman Shank? What Really Happened?
Then still on page 15 Terry Vance is saying "Did I Say that to You?" then Kevin Padrick seems to squirm a bit and say well maybe it was Sussman Shank?? Really? So who was it Really? And certainly they knew bankruptcy code right, and knew that Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor and not legally allowed to be the Trustee as an "interested party" and as what seemed to me to be an "insider".
So Kevin Padrick did have a meeting with the Creditors and on the "dime" of his client, the Debtor and later became the Trustee, WOW. No red flags here, anyone????
Page 19 shows an Email from David Aman of Tonkon Torp to Stephanie DeYoung. Keep in mind that in August of 2009 David Aman deposed Stephanie DeYoung in Video, and one of the things he asked was about her blog and about Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox. Obsidian Finance Group and David Aman knew about my blogs and my intentions for years and never contacted me until a blanket cease and desist and a 10 million dollar lawsuit a month later, and 2 years after they knew of my blogs.
David Aman and Kevin Padrick knew about the videos on the blogs and the transcripts, and they knew all last year during this trial that I got my information from the facts, from their own words, from depositions, documents, transcripts, audios and more. YET they claim, LIE UNDER OATH and to a Federal Court, that I and I only am the only one in the world that has an issue with them and they act like there is no legitimate reason for it.
Page 38, 48 of this Kevin Padrick Declaration submitted by David Aman, August of 2009 mentions me, and yet they NEVER contacted me or even asked me to remove a post.
Page 68 is an Email from Kevin Padrick to Terry Vance, and to Susan Ford of Sussman Shank - the Attorney for the Debtor. This is January 23,2009. Sure Looks like Kevin Padrick had spreadsheets, asset information, real estate information and "Insider" information on the Debtor BEFORE he became the Trustee.
Emails Between Terry Vance and Kevin Padrick - Page 70. Kevin Padrick admits to having discussed "this" with Susan Ford of Sussman Shank before going to the Creditors Committee.
On Page 70 of THIS Declaration by Kevin Padrick, Dated, Filed 8-17-09, in an Email dated 1/22/09 from Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group to Tyrell B. Vance LLC, Kevin Padrick talks of a "proposal to the committee", yet in my Trial Kevin Padrick under Oath, which you will soon see in the trial transcripts, Kevin claims he did not give a presentation / proposal to the Creditors Committee. Also talks of Kevin Padrick talking with Steve Hedberg and Susan Ford of these issues, and encouraging "Patty", which is Patricia Whittington of Obsiidan Finance Group to "try to reach one of Susan's tax partners to discuss our efforts and Patty attempted to contact him." All this seems to me that Obsidian Finance Group was an Insider .. ALL this, I Believe, was before Kevin Padrick was appointed as Trustee.
Page 71 talks of someone Sussman Shank, Susan Ford seems to have recommended to give advice of some kind, possible "tax advice", yet he was, seemingly an "insolvency expert" and "not a tax expert".
At the Bottom of Page 71 and into Page 72, shows an email from Terry Vance to Annie Buell of the Creditors Committee. Terry Vance let Annie Buell, the head of the Creditors Committee know of his "concerns". SO what kind of deal did Annie Buell, did the Tenant Family make with Obsidian Finance and Kevin Padrick if any? It seems common knowledge here that many were confused on who Obsidian was being paid by at that time, and why Obsidian was charging Summit to seemingly pitch themselves to the Creditor which was NOT in the Best interest of the Creditors nor Obsidian's Clients which was the Debtor (Summit).
This email from Terry Vance to Annie Buell as you can see from page 71, which also says in the lower right (Exhibit 6 Page 4 of 11), this email was copied to Susan Ford of Sussman Shank Law Firm who was the Attorneys for the Debtor, Summit - It was also copied to Tom Stilley of Sussman Shank, Jeanette Thomas and Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie who were the Attorneys for the Creditors, and it was copied to Kevin Padrick, Ewan Rose, and Patty Whittington of Obsidian Finance Group. They all knew that the Man who was CRO, Terry Vance had raised great concern over Kevin Padrick's action, over Ewan Rose and Obsidian Finance Group and NONE seemed to listen or take any kind of responsible (Highest Fiduciary Duty) Actions. Terry Vance, On January 22nd of 2009 RAISED the issue of "Obsidian Does NOT work for the Creditors Committee", this was ALL before Kevin Padrick was LATER appointed as a Trustee by the Department of Justice and suggested by Judge Randall Dunn, a US Bankruptcy Judge. Even Though it sure seems to me that Kevin Padrick was a legally defined "Insider" and NOT a "Disinterested Party" and had no legal right to be the Trustee in the Summit Accomodators / Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
So on Page 73 (Exhibit 6 Page 6 of 11), Who is Kevin Padrick representing ? Is a UCC Term Sheet financial information of the Debtor, Summit? The date of this email is Jan. 25th 2009, now remember Kevin Padrick on Line 6 page 4 talks of the "Engagement Letter", he says is dated January 8th, 2009, and Kevin Padrick, on line 8 page 2 talks of a meeting on February 12th, 2009, this means that Kevin Padrick was already under contract with Summit, the Debtors and so this email on page 73, seems to be in the capacity of Financial Advisers to the Debtors, as an INSIDER, in control of the Debtor and seems to be an "Interested Party". All this is very important as I believe that Bankruptcy Codes say an "Insider" cannot be a Trustee, and certainly not a "Qualified Intermediary" as the Summit Company was a 1031 Exchange Company.
There are many questions and details to be investigated regarding the actions, decisions, and contracts that Obsidian Finance Group (Kevin Parick, Ewan Rose, Patty Whittington) engaged in while they WORKED for the Debtor, and then their actions working for Kevin Padrick as he became the Trustee, which certainly seems like a breach of contract against his clients, Summit, whom he had a signed contract with, and actively worked for. ALL this BEFORE Summit Filed for Bankruptcy. WOW, where is the Department of Justice?
What Was Judge Randall Dunn thinking, where is Pamela Griffith, Department of Justice Trustee, PAID BY YOU the Public Tax Payers, and why did Sussman Shank and Perkins Coie, and Tonkon Torp simply make way for Kevin Padrick? You can tell by pages 73, 74, 75, and 76 that Kevin Padrick was working with the Debtor and in the capacity of advisor for the Debtor, I believe that Kevin Padrick did not LEGALLY qualify as Trustee.
Page 77 shows an Email from Susan S. Ford, Sussman Shank to Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie and copied to Jeanette Thomas, Kevin Padrick,Thomas Stilley, Janine Hume, Linda Scott, Kathy Moody and Martin Meyers. This email is Feb. 06, 2009, which seems to be after the "Engagement Letter" with Summit on January 8th, 2009 and before the Meeting with Summit on February 12th, 2009. So there was concerns, (see I have been reporting on the concerns of many others and did not make this stuff up to defame an Innocent man, I REPORTED the story in depth and for years).
So if "everyone" agreed that the Debtor should control those "Entities" as Susan Ford of Sussman Shank says, then why did this not happen? Or did It? And Susan Ford says there is no reason for Obsidian to control Inland? So if all allegedly agree that Inland Capital and the "Entities" should not be controlled by Obsidian Finance Group, then why did this same "ALL" say nothing when they got control of everything, as the Trustee on the opposite side of this issue as the client they were under contract with? Did you see where Susan Ford of Sussman Shank says signing everything over to a "third party assignee to operate with little oversight and outside jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court" seems to be a bad thing?
So why is this ignored and for years, as Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group seems to be some sort of unstoppable force protected by the culture of corruption in Portland Oregon and his connection to Miller Nash, who is know too be very dirty and VERY Powerful, from what I hear. Was Kevin Padrick protected by the Law Firm that Sources tell me RUN PORTLAND, which is Tonkon Torp Law Firm. Not sure where Sussman Shank and Perkins Coie fit in, guess they are too scared of Obsidian, Miller Nash and Tonkon Torp to stand on the right side of the law and the right side of the Moral Compass.
Moving on to page 80 of Kevin Padrick's Declaration in a response to his Objection to the Objection to the Fees filed by Summit Investors and Creditors. Page 80 is from the Bankruptcy Whistleblower blog by Stephanie Studebaker DeYoung, who was yes the daughter of one of the principals and also an Oregon CPA, an Insider, a Creditor, and an Investor. She posted documents, evidence, proof and was one of several who filed the Objection to the Fees of Obsidian Finance Group and Tonkon Torp in their role regarding the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
Page 80 is an open letter to the Exchangers from Stephanie. It talks of who she is and what the issue is. This is one of HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of sources of information I used over 3 years to get these guys and gals heard. It also talks of the $100,000 to Obsidian Finance Group, and $250,000 to Sussman Shank whom seemed to both conspire against their own client that they were under contract with and PAID by.
Page 85 and 86 talk of real estate offers and insider emails, look deep. The Summit Bankruptcy was online for years, emails, judicial documents, depositions, declarations and tons of documentation which I read and reported on to the best of my ability at the time. Investigate the Summit Bankruptcy and the Role of Kevin Padrick and all the other attorneys and agencies in their Official Capacity.
Something went very wrong and it had NOTHING to do with the Investigative Blogger, Crystal L. Cox getting the story found at the top of the search engines for those involved.
Page 96 we see the name David S. Aman of Tonkon Torp. David Aman is the same attorney representing (Attorney) Kevin Padrick in Obsidian V. Cox, all this to attempt to silence an Investigative Blogger EXPOSING them all.
I will Personally be Filing a Department of Justice Complaint, IRS Complaint, Oregon Attorney General Complaint and a Federal RICO Complaint. I also plan to file a Whistle Blower Lawsuit against all parties with an attorney that is an ex-SEC investigator.
I will not go quietly, I did nothing WRONG or Illegal, they DID. All I did was stand up for the real estate consumers they turned into real estate victims as the Debtor was a 1031 Exchange Company which involves all real estate Brokers, such as I am and have been for 11 years.
I Believe that The Summit Bankruptcy should be Void, there should be a FULL investigation by the SEC, IRS, FBI, Oregon Attorney General, and more into the actions of Judge Randall Dunn, Portland Oregon Bankruptcy Judge and Pamela Griffith of the Department of Justice. And into the Conflicts of Interest between Pamela Griffith of the Department of Justice and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp Law Firm. And to the Conflicts of Interest between Trustee Kevin Padrick and the Creditors Attorney Steven Hedberg, both formerly of Miller Nash Law Firm. And to the questions of whether Kevin Padrick was an "Insider", a "Disinterested Party"
See I was certainly not the one with issues with Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group, I was simply reporting the story of those who did have issue and for 3 years and counting. And still the Department of Justice, SEC, FBI, Oregon Attorney General, IRS and others refuse to investigate and simply blame the Debtor for the whole mess. When the truth is, the Debtor, Summit, had hired Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group to get them out of the mess before it became a catastrophe and harmed the creditors and investors life, to the best of their ability.
I, Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogger have been screaming out this story for 3 years. Stephanie Deyoung, Bankruptcy Whistleblower had an amazing blog that posted tons of documents, and in reporting this story, I still stand to say that I fully do believe that Kevin Padrick acted unethically and even illegally in the Summit Bankruptcy. I believe that Kevin Padrick was an "Insider", and NOT a "disinterested person" and that this violates US Bankruptcy Code to then be a Trustee in a Federal Bankruptcy Proceeding.
I believe Kevin Padrick turned down legitimate real estate offers on assets to ensure his 15% commission was in place first. I believe Kevin Padrick made deals with Annie Buell and other Creditors to silence them in order to take advantage of the rest of the Creditors and Investors.
I believe Kevin Padrick sued and set up any "Party" that got in his way and tried to expose him in any way. I believe that David Aman of Tonkon Torp and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp aided and abetted Kevin Padrick.
I believe that Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie and Susan Ford, Tom Stilley of Sussman Shank were in on "it", and they all conspired to take charge of a $40 Million Dollar estate and in a way that there would be no one to answer to or to question them. I believe that Pamela Griffith of the US Department of Justice was involved as she had prior connections to Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp.
I do not BELIEVE that the post I was sued on is false, and I never had a reason to believe such, in a "with out a doubt" proven, documented, factual way. The jury only had the "Opinion" of ONE Oregon CPA, PNW Tax Advisors, Gary Stachlowski, hired by Obsidian Finance Group to give his "Expert" opinion. However this Oregon CPA, PNW Tax Advisors, Gary Stachlowski, did not read all the information, all the emails and depositions, read the tax documents over years, talk to insiders, listen to court audios, watch videos of meetings, read transcriptions of meetings, read declarations, read the Objection to the Fees, interview people involved, and this CPA, PNW Tax Advisors, Gary Stachlowski, did not have a clear picture of the true happenings and events in the Summit Bankruptcy and therefore neither did the jury.
Find out the Truth for Yourself Folk, the Document I discuss Above is in Full, BELOW, read it. Look Deep into the actions of Obsidian and of Kevin Padrick in the Summit Case and other's who really do have "Issue" with Kevin Padrick and with Obsidian Finance Group.

Kevin Padrick Declaration - Objection to the Fees Summit Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy Code 104a, Summit 1031 Bankruptcy, Susan Ford, Sussman Shank, Tyrell Vance, Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group, Summit Accomodators Inc, Thomas Stilley, Steven Hedberg, Perkins Coie, Judge Randall Dunn, Oregon Bankruptcy Courts,Ewan Rose, Patty Whittington, Ryan Norwood, Janine Hume, Linda Scott, Kathy Moody, Martin Myers, Pamela Griffith, Jeanette L. Thomas, Leon Simson, Haley Bjerk, Tonkon Torp LLP, Summit 1031 Exchange, Mark Neuman, Lane Lyons, Brian Stevens,
The Document below is a a Declaration by Kevin D. Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group in August of 2009 in Response to the Objection to Attorney and Professional Fees of Obsidian Finance Group LLC, Trustee Kevin Padrick and Tonkon Torp LLC and Written Request for Hearing.
This declaration seems to flat out lie about Bankruptcy Whistleblower Stephanie DeYoung, and Kevin Padrick sure does want to make sure it is known that he did not want any notes taken at his Feb. 12th 2009 presentation to the Debtors, which is in video at http://www.youtube.com/user/KevinPadrick
This Declaration has Kevin Padrick admitting to knowing about the blog www.Summit1031BkJustice.com - yet he claims that I am the one that got the information online about him and David Brown of Obsidian Finance Group claims I am the only one that has an issue and Kashmir Hill of Forbes and David Carr of the New York Times tell the world I am the only one with an issue with Kevin Padrick. Yet on that blog was documents, proof, insider emails, an objection to the fees filed by several insiders and more. And that blog was up for years until my Trial when the blog author, out of fear, dropped the blog.
Kevin Padrick goes on and on about the videos and the blog, yet seems to have no real reason as to why he can legally be the Trustee and charge so much, which is what the Objection to the Fees is really about.
In This Declaration by Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance, Line 6 page 4, Kevin Padrick talks about the Fact that the "Debtor" engaged "Obsidian", yet at my Trial Obsidian V. Cox, I asked Kevin Padrick on the Stand Under Oath if he was under Contract with Summit and he plainly, flat out said NO. And acted as if Summit was scoundrels and he would never do such a thing.
Kevin Padrick attached an "Engagement Letter" as an Exhibit to this "Declaration" yet later claimed he was not under contract with Summit nor would he as they were such bad guys. (Read my Court Transcript, Kevin Padrick really laid it on thick.)
So Kevin Padrick on Line 6 page 4 talks of the "Engagement Letter", he says is dated January 8th, 2009. So when Kevin Padrick, on line 8 page 2 talks of a meeting on February 12th, 2009, this means that Kevin Padrick was already under contract with Summit, the Debtors and this meeting was about what Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group was to do for his clients, whom he later turned on and became the Trustee. Kevin Padrick demanded no notes be taken at this meeting, why? It is his clients, there was an engagement letter, a contract, right? These guys paid Kevin Padrick $100,000 to advise them right? Why the secrecy?
And on Page 48 of this Declaration there is the contract dated December 18th 2008. Signed by Patricia Whittington of Obsidian Finance Group for Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group. So they were under contract long before that meeting and way before Kevin Padrick became the Trustee, IS THIS LEGAL ?
Kevin Padrick claims, at my trial (Obsidian V. Cox) that he did not give a presentation to the Creditors Committee, yet there is a court audio of Judge Randall Dunn discussing that presentation.
Kevin Padrick plainly admits to being under contract with the Debtor, Obsidian Finance Group had a Signed Contract with the Debtor and took $100,000. Was this NOT a profession conflict of interest? Was Kevin Padrick in a Breach of Contract with Summit? Was Kevin Padrick an insider in control of the Debtor and therefor NOT legally allowed to be the Trustee, essentially on the opposite side of the Debtor, his Client. Was Kevin Padrick truly a "Disinterested Party" as Bankruptcy Code Requires a Trustee to be? Why Did Sussman Shank, Perkins Coie, Pamela Griffith of the DOJ, and Judge Randall Dunn push so hard to get Kevin Padrick into the role of Trustee of the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy?
Also, there were more then one that filed the Objection to the Fees, why did Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group focus on one woman? Was it because she knew the truth, had the documentation, had videos and knew that Kevin Padrick was in breach of contract and possibly breaking bankruptcy codes?
Kevin Padrick talks of the 11.8 Million, the Boulder Property and more in this declaration in which I had in the blog post they sued me on, yet when I post the information it is Defamation? That is Simply not True. I told Judge Hernandez that most of the information in that post was in Public Documents and I attached as an Exhibit more then once and still I was denied.
Page 13 Seems to show that Kevin Padrick betrayed his own clients, there were MANY who had concern, I, Crystal Cox Blogger was simply getting their story that was already out there online and in court documents, found at the top of the search engines. I did not lie, nor did I defame, nor did I make up that information. And I certainly did DEEP "Fact Checking" and for years.
Page 14 shows Summit upset that they are not allowed to take notes at a meeting with a man they had already been given an engagement letter, and was seemingly under contract with. Kevin Padrick even includes Stephanie DeYoung's blog in his Declaration, then later claims I, and I alone defamed him and he had no idea why?
On Page 15 Padrick claimed, under oath that he did not meet with the Creditors Committee. He claims here that it was at the request of Terry Vance, however I don't think that is true from what I have heard over 3 years of investigating the Summit Bankruptcy. And well Terry Vance certainly Denies it on page 15 of Kevin Padrick's Declaration which is pages from Bankruptcy Whistleblower, Summit Insider Stephanie DeYoung's Blog.
Kevin yammers and says that's what we were told??? WHAT? Kevin Padrick took a meeting with the Creditors Committee and there is to this day no one that seems to admit having asked him to the meeting, so was it his old Miller Nash connection Steven Hedberg the Creditors Committee's attorney from Perkins Coie Or was it Sussman Shank? What Really Happened?
Then still on page 15 Terry Vance is saying "Did I Say that to You?" then Kevin Padrick seems to squirm a bit and say well maybe it was Sussman Shank?? Really? So who was it Really? And certainly they knew bankruptcy code right, and knew that Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor and not legally allowed to be the Trustee as an "interested party" and as what seemed to me to be an "insider".
So Kevin Padrick did have a meeting with the Creditors and on the "dime" of his client, the Debtor and later became the Trustee, WOW. No red flags here, anyone????
Page 19 shows an Email from David Aman of Tonkon Torp to Stephanie DeYoung. Keep in mind that in August of 2009 David Aman deposed Stephanie DeYoung in Video, and one of the things he asked was about her blog and about Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox. Obsidian Finance Group and David Aman knew about my blogs and my intentions for years and never contacted me until a blanket cease and desist and a 10 million dollar lawsuit a month later, and 2 years after they knew of my blogs.
David Aman and Kevin Padrick knew about the videos on the blogs and the transcripts, and they knew all last year during this trial that I got my information from the facts, from their own words, from depositions, documents, transcripts, audios and more. YET they claim, LIE UNDER OATH and to a Federal Court, that I and I only am the only one in the world that has an issue with them and they act like there is no legitimate reason for it.
Page 38, 48 of this Kevin Padrick Declaration submitted by David Aman, August of 2009 mentions me, and yet they NEVER contacted me or even asked me to remove a post.
Page 68 is an Email from Kevin Padrick to Terry Vance, and to Susan Ford of Sussman Shank - the Attorney for the Debtor. This is January 23,2009. Sure Looks like Kevin Padrick had spreadsheets, asset information, real estate information and "Insider" information on the Debtor BEFORE he became the Trustee.
Emails Between Terry Vance and Kevin Padrick - Page 70. Kevin Padrick admits to having discussed "this" with Susan Ford of Sussman Shank before going to the Creditors Committee.
On Page 70 of THIS Declaration by Kevin Padrick, Dated, Filed 8-17-09, in an Email dated 1/22/09 from Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group to Tyrell B. Vance LLC, Kevin Padrick talks of a "proposal to the committee", yet in my Trial Kevin Padrick under Oath, which you will soon see in the trial transcripts, Kevin claims he did not give a presentation / proposal to the Creditors Committee. Also talks of Kevin Padrick talking with Steve Hedberg and Susan Ford of these issues, and encouraging "Patty", which is Patricia Whittington of Obsiidan Finance Group to "try to reach one of Susan's tax partners to discuss our efforts and Patty attempted to contact him." All this seems to me that Obsidian Finance Group was an Insider .. ALL this, I Believe, was before Kevin Padrick was appointed as Trustee.
Page 71 talks of someone Sussman Shank, Susan Ford seems to have recommended to give advice of some kind, possible "tax advice", yet he was, seemingly an "insolvency expert" and "not a tax expert".
At the Bottom of Page 71 and into Page 72, shows an email from Terry Vance to Annie Buell of the Creditors Committee. Terry Vance let Annie Buell, the head of the Creditors Committee know of his "concerns". SO what kind of deal did Annie Buell, did the Tenant Family make with Obsidian Finance and Kevin Padrick if any? It seems common knowledge here that many were confused on who Obsidian was being paid by at that time, and why Obsidian was charging Summit to seemingly pitch themselves to the Creditor which was NOT in the Best interest of the Creditors nor Obsidian's Clients which was the Debtor (Summit).
This email from Terry Vance to Annie Buell as you can see from page 71, which also says in the lower right (Exhibit 6 Page 4 of 11), this email was copied to Susan Ford of Sussman Shank Law Firm who was the Attorneys for the Debtor, Summit - It was also copied to Tom Stilley of Sussman Shank, Jeanette Thomas and Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie who were the Attorneys for the Creditors, and it was copied to Kevin Padrick, Ewan Rose, and Patty Whittington of Obsidian Finance Group. They all knew that the Man who was CRO, Terry Vance had raised great concern over Kevin Padrick's action, over Ewan Rose and Obsidian Finance Group and NONE seemed to listen or take any kind of responsible (Highest Fiduciary Duty) Actions. Terry Vance, On January 22nd of 2009 RAISED the issue of "Obsidian Does NOT work for the Creditors Committee", this was ALL before Kevin Padrick was LATER appointed as a Trustee by the Department of Justice and suggested by Judge Randall Dunn, a US Bankruptcy Judge. Even Though it sure seems to me that Kevin Padrick was a legally defined "Insider" and NOT a "Disinterested Party" and had no legal right to be the Trustee in the Summit Accomodators / Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
So on Page 73 (Exhibit 6 Page 6 of 11), Who is Kevin Padrick representing ? Is a UCC Term Sheet financial information of the Debtor, Summit? The date of this email is Jan. 25th 2009, now remember Kevin Padrick on Line 6 page 4 talks of the "Engagement Letter", he says is dated January 8th, 2009, and Kevin Padrick, on line 8 page 2 talks of a meeting on February 12th, 2009, this means that Kevin Padrick was already under contract with Summit, the Debtors and so this email on page 73, seems to be in the capacity of Financial Advisers to the Debtors, as an INSIDER, in control of the Debtor and seems to be an "Interested Party". All this is very important as I believe that Bankruptcy Codes say an "Insider" cannot be a Trustee, and certainly not a "Qualified Intermediary" as the Summit Company was a 1031 Exchange Company.
There are many questions and details to be investigated regarding the actions, decisions, and contracts that Obsidian Finance Group (Kevin Parick, Ewan Rose, Patty Whittington) engaged in while they WORKED for the Debtor, and then their actions working for Kevin Padrick as he became the Trustee, which certainly seems like a breach of contract against his clients, Summit, whom he had a signed contract with, and actively worked for. ALL this BEFORE Summit Filed for Bankruptcy. WOW, where is the Department of Justice?
What Was Judge Randall Dunn thinking, where is Pamela Griffith, Department of Justice Trustee, PAID BY YOU the Public Tax Payers, and why did Sussman Shank and Perkins Coie, and Tonkon Torp simply make way for Kevin Padrick? You can tell by pages 73, 74, 75, and 76 that Kevin Padrick was working with the Debtor and in the capacity of advisor for the Debtor, I believe that Kevin Padrick did not LEGALLY qualify as Trustee.
Page 77 shows an Email from Susan S. Ford, Sussman Shank to Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie and copied to Jeanette Thomas, Kevin Padrick,Thomas Stilley, Janine Hume, Linda Scott, Kathy Moody and Martin Meyers. This email is Feb. 06, 2009, which seems to be after the "Engagement Letter" with Summit on January 8th, 2009 and before the Meeting with Summit on February 12th, 2009. So there was concerns, (see I have been reporting on the concerns of many others and did not make this stuff up to defame an Innocent man, I REPORTED the story in depth and for years).
So if "everyone" agreed that the Debtor should control those "Entities" as Susan Ford of Sussman Shank says, then why did this not happen? Or did It? And Susan Ford says there is no reason for Obsidian to control Inland? So if all allegedly agree that Inland Capital and the "Entities" should not be controlled by Obsidian Finance Group, then why did this same "ALL" say nothing when they got control of everything, as the Trustee on the opposite side of this issue as the client they were under contract with? Did you see where Susan Ford of Sussman Shank says signing everything over to a "third party assignee to operate with little oversight and outside jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court" seems to be a bad thing?
So why is this ignored and for years, as Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group seems to be some sort of unstoppable force protected by the culture of corruption in Portland Oregon and his connection to Miller Nash, who is know too be very dirty and VERY Powerful, from what I hear. Was Kevin Padrick protected by the Law Firm that Sources tell me RUN PORTLAND, which is Tonkon Torp Law Firm. Not sure where Sussman Shank and Perkins Coie fit in, guess they are too scared of Obsidian, Miller Nash and Tonkon Torp to stand on the right side of the law and the right side of the Moral Compass.
Moving on to page 80 of Kevin Padrick's Declaration in a response to his Objection to the Objection to the Fees filed by Summit Investors and Creditors. Page 80 is from the Bankruptcy Whistleblower blog by Stephanie Studebaker DeYoung, who was yes the daughter of one of the principals and also an Oregon CPA, an Insider, a Creditor, and an Investor. She posted documents, evidence, proof and was one of several who filed the Objection to the Fees of Obsidian Finance Group and Tonkon Torp in their role regarding the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
Page 80 is an open letter to the Exchangers from Stephanie. It talks of who she is and what the issue is. This is one of HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of sources of information I used over 3 years to get these guys and gals heard. It also talks of the $100,000 to Obsidian Finance Group, and $250,000 to Sussman Shank whom seemed to both conspire against their own client that they were under contract with and PAID by.
Page 85 and 86 talk of real estate offers and insider emails, look deep. The Summit Bankruptcy was online for years, emails, judicial documents, depositions, declarations and tons of documentation which I read and reported on to the best of my ability at the time. Investigate the Summit Bankruptcy and the Role of Kevin Padrick and all the other attorneys and agencies in their Official Capacity.
Something went very wrong and it had NOTHING to do with the Investigative Blogger, Crystal L. Cox getting the story found at the top of the search engines for those involved.
Page 96 we see the name David S. Aman of Tonkon Torp. David Aman is the same attorney representing (Attorney) Kevin Padrick in Obsidian V. Cox, all this to attempt to silence an Investigative Blogger EXPOSING them all.
I will Personally be Filing a Department of Justice Complaint, IRS Complaint, Oregon Attorney General Complaint and a Federal RICO Complaint. I also plan to file a Whistle Blower Lawsuit against all parties with an attorney that is an ex-SEC investigator.
I will not go quietly, I did nothing WRONG or Illegal, they DID. All I did was stand up for the real estate consumers they turned into real estate victims as the Debtor was a 1031 Exchange Company which involves all real estate Brokers, such as I am and have been for 11 years.
I Believe that The Summit Bankruptcy should be Void, there should be a FULL investigation by the SEC, IRS, FBI, Oregon Attorney General, and more into the actions of Judge Randall Dunn, Portland Oregon Bankruptcy Judge and Pamela Griffith of the Department of Justice. And into the Conflicts of Interest between Pamela Griffith of the Department of Justice and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp Law Firm. And to the Conflicts of Interest between Trustee Kevin Padrick and the Creditors Attorney Steven Hedberg, both formerly of Miller Nash Law Firm. And to the questions of whether Kevin Padrick was an "Insider", a "Disinterested Party"
See I was certainly not the one with issues with Kevin Padrick and Obsidian Finance Group, I was simply reporting the story of those who did have issue and for 3 years and counting. And still the Department of Justice, SEC, FBI, Oregon Attorney General, IRS and others refuse to investigate and simply blame the Debtor for the whole mess. When the truth is, the Debtor, Summit, had hired Kevin Padrick, Obsidian Finance Group to get them out of the mess before it became a catastrophe and harmed the creditors and investors life, to the best of their ability.
I, Crystal L. Cox, Investigative Blogger have been screaming out this story for 3 years. Stephanie Deyoung, Bankruptcy Whistleblower had an amazing blog that posted tons of documents, and in reporting this story, I still stand to say that I fully do believe that Kevin Padrick acted unethically and even illegally in the Summit Bankruptcy. I believe that Kevin Padrick was an "Insider", and NOT a "disinterested person" and that this violates US Bankruptcy Code to then be a Trustee in a Federal Bankruptcy Proceeding.
I believe Kevin Padrick turned down legitimate real estate offers on assets to ensure his 15% commission was in place first. I believe Kevin Padrick made deals with Annie Buell and other Creditors to silence them in order to take advantage of the rest of the Creditors and Investors.
I believe Kevin Padrick sued and set up any "Party" that got in his way and tried to expose him in any way. I believe that David Aman of Tonkon Torp and Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp aided and abetted Kevin Padrick.
I believe that Steven Hedberg of Perkins Coie and Susan Ford, Tom Stilley of Sussman Shank were in on "it", and they all conspired to take charge of a $40 Million Dollar estate and in a way that there would be no one to answer to or to question them. I believe that Pamela Griffith of the US Department of Justice was involved as she had prior connections to Leon Simson of Tonkon Torp.
I do not BELIEVE that the post I was sued on is false, and I never had a reason to believe such, in a "with out a doubt" proven, documented, factual way. The jury only had the "Opinion" of ONE Oregon CPA, PNW Tax Advisors, Gary Stachlowski, hired by Obsidian Finance Group to give his "Expert" opinion. However this Oregon CPA, PNW Tax Advisors, Gary Stachlowski, did not read all the information, all the emails and depositions, read the tax documents over years, talk to insiders, listen to court audios, watch videos of meetings, read transcriptions of meetings, read declarations, read the Objection to the Fees, interview people involved, and this CPA, PNW Tax Advisors, Gary Stachlowski, did not have a clear picture of the true happenings and events in the Summit Bankruptcy and therefore neither did the jury.
Find out the Truth for Yourself Folk, the Document I discuss Above is in Full, BELOW, read it. Look Deep into the actions of Obsidian and of Kevin Padrick in the Summit Case and other's who really do have "Issue" with Kevin Padrick and with Obsidian Finance Group.

Possible 1104a Bankruptcy Code Violations. Email's Between Patty Whittington, Kevin Padrick, Ewan Rose of Obsidian Finance Group and Others regarding the Summit Bankruptcy
Patty Whittington, Kevin Padrick, Sussman Shank Susan Ford, Steven Hedberg Perkins Coie and others Regarding the Summit 1031 Bankruptcy.
Sure seems like they all knew that Kevin Padrick was under contract with the Debtor, Summit, in order to help Summit Reorganize Debt and then it seems none of them objected to Judge Randall Dunn suggesting that Kevin Padrick of Obsidian Finance Group be the Trustee, even though he already had a contract with the Debtor, took their money and their books, spreadsheets and personal information.
Why did Obsidian Finance Group, Kevin Padrick move into such a massive position of authority to take over assets and make decisions that affected the life's work of so many others and with, seemingly no accountability or transparency?
Susan Ford of Sussman Shank said "There is 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" And oddly enough though all saw this email, Kevin Padrick was appointed as Trustee and Sussman Shank did not even seem to object. So what really happened? Who owed whom favors? How was Judge Randall Dunn Really Connected?
