Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX CFPB : XXXX XXXX XXXX, Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ), announced today that XXXX XXXX pled guilty to the interstate sale of stolen property in connection with his theft and attempted sale of more than a dozen works of art. XXXX pled guilty this morning in XXXX federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge XXXX XXXX. Acting U.S. Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX said : As he admitted today, XXXX XXXX stole works of art worth more than {$600000.00} from his former employer, which he then sought to sell through a flea market in XXXX. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the FBI, nearly all of these works have been recovered, and will be returned to their rightful owner. FBI Assistant Director XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX said : Todays plea marks the end of XXXX XXXX tall tales of discovering treasured art pieces that were really in fact stolen from his employer with the goal of reselling to profit himself. We applaud the art dealer who brought this case to our attention after realizing XXXX stories behind the art were really too good to be true. JPMChase, through its prime contractor, XXXX XXXX, and its subcontractors, stole all the artwork from my family 's homestead, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX, which my parents, XXXX and XXXX, had built, in XX/XX/XXXX. That is more than one dozen works of art. That includes original works of art by XXXX artist-heroes XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, my parents visited XXXX. They toured Greater XXXX XXXX, staying at the XXXX XXXX, in that silver-mining town. My mother kept on her kitchen stoves, the souvenir of a three-legged stone grinding-bowl, metate, with XXXX XXXX painted on it. My parents bought original works of art by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX directly from those artists. My parents also purchased, in XXXX, the highest-grade Sterling Silver tableware for twelve people, including food-serving utensils. My father hid the Sterling Silver tableware in the basement, when my parents went on their trips all over the world. My parents took hundreds of photographic slides of their travels to promote cross-cultural understanding, in their public slide-shows, including at the XXXX Public Library, which my parents had co-founded. JPMChase stole all my parents ' photographic slides, in circular slide carousels, my parents ' slide projector and my parents ' slide projection screen. JPMChase refuses to return to my family, any of my family 's property. For my {$90000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX JPMChase has acquired : {$160000.00} in Principal, Interest, Late and Foreclosure Fees and Penalties from XXXX XXXX XXXX {>= $1,000,000} ( minimum ) in items brought by XXXX and XXXX XXXX from XXXX {$2500.00} in paper money XXXX XXXX XXXX had in XXXX XXXX {$300000.00} Fair Market Value of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX {>= $1,000,000} ( minimum ) Total As everything is in the physical possession of JPMChase, JPMChase can hire its own appraisers, out of the JPMChase Treasury, if JPMChase should contest the above monetary amounts. The Foreign Alien Subcontractors of JPMChase, armed with hand-held weapons, threatened my life and threatened to have me arrested. According to the CFPB Website, those behaviors violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). I demand, that JPMChase cede to me clear title to the JPMChase-owned real property in XXXX, IL, of my choice, and return everything taken from XXXX XXXX, professionally restoring, as required. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX
