An officer called and said he spoke with the boy and he promised to
stop the nasty messages. They also asked if you could fax in those
papers on Seph.

Who faxes anymore? Guess I'll have to unretire that old printer.
There's about a dozen pages to send.

dossier. Yup, Bankruptcy and Fraud. Juicy. Next time he pokes this
bear, I might just play this card.

They're a matter of public record in his state and anyone can request
them. The court clerk was oh so helpful. You'll see the papers out
him in regards to his pseudonym. I've included a link below.

IN THE UNITED
STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO EASTERN
DIVISION
In re: Joseph Melendez
Case No. 15-16614
Chapter 13 Proceedings Debtor.
Judge Pat E.
Morgenstern-Clarren
MOTION TO REVOKE ORDER OF
CONFIRMATION
Now comes CRAIG SHOPNECK, the duly appointed and
qualified Standing Chapter 13 Trustee (“Trustee”) herein,
by and through counsel, and hereby moves this Honorable Court to
revoke the confirmation order in the above-captioned case pursuant to
Section 1330 of the Bankruptcy Code. In support of his motion the
Trustee makes the following representations to the Court:
1.The
debtor filed a petition under Chapter 13 of Title 11, U.S.C. on
November 18, 2015. The case was confirmed by this Court on February
19, 2016. The confirmed plan calls for the payment to unsecured
creditors of $179.00 or 1% of allowed claims, whichever is
greater.
2.On or about May 13, 2016 the Trustee received an
anonymous communication that stated that the Debtor operated
an“allegedly profitable and successful photography endeavor”
under the pseudonym Seph Lawless, and that he has authored many
successful books, among other allegations. Nothing regarding the
Debtor’s photography endeavors or his books is listed in the
Debtor’s original schedules.
3.The Trustee conducted an
investigation and was able to verify that the Debtor is a well-known
photographer operating under the pseudonym Seph Lawless, and that he
is the author of several books. The Trustee also discovered that the
Debtor is the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in Cuyahoga County Common
Pleas Court on February 9, 2016, in which the Debtor is seeking
damages in excess of $25,000.00. Even though the lawsuit states that
it is based on activities that took place as far back as March or
April of 2015, there is no cause of action listed in the Debtor’s
schedules.
4.On June 2, 2016 the Trustee conducted an
examination of the debtor under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 pursuant to an
order issued by the Court on May 17, 2016. At that examination the
Debtor confirmed that he did operate a photography endeavor under the
pseudonym Seph Lawless, that he had published as many as ten books
(the first as far back as 2014), that he was the plaintiff in a
lawsuit in which he sought damages in excess of $25,000.00, and that
none of this information was disclosed in his schedules.
5.Section
1330 of the Bankruptcy Code states that an order of confirmation can
be revoked within 180 days of its entry if it can be shown that the
confirmation order was procured by fraud. The Trustee believes that
the Debtor’s failure to disclose his photography endeavors, his
book publishing, and his cause of action should have been easily
ascertained during the intake process and that the failure to
disclose these items must thus be considered fraud which, when
combined with the fact that the Debtor’s failure to disclose
these items deprived the Trustee of an opportunity to fully and
thoroughly investigate the debtor’s financial affairs and could
have possibly lead to the proper amount not being paid to unsecured
creditors, justifies the revocation of the order confirming this case
under Section 1330of the Bankruptcy Code.
6.As the order
confirming the case at bar was entered on February 19, 2016, the
Trustee’s motion is being filed less than 180 days after the
entry of the confirmation order and thus the Trustee’s Motion
is timely.1The Trustee acknowledges that Schedule B was amended on
May 23, 2016 to include some omitted assets. Not all omitted assets
are disclosed in the amended schedules, however, and the fact that
the schedules were amended post-confirmation has no bearing on any
fraud that may have been committed before the case was confirmed.
WHEREFORE your Trustee,
being a proper party in interest, hereby moves this Honorable Court
to grant his motion and revoke the order of confirmation in the case
at bar pursuant to Section 1330 of the Bankruptcy Code for the
reasons cited.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" More harassment
this weekend. For some strange reason he's started calling us
Butthurt Joe Chowaniec. I looked and do have a FB friend by that
name, interestingly. Some strange coincidence? Either way, it seems
he thinks we're this person now. I don't get it
either.

I've been getting nasty Facebook messages from Chel Mckee today.
Seems she's a huge fan of Seph? Do you know what you want for
dinner?

Fan? That's Seph himself and Chel is one of his sockpuppets that show
up when he needs a cheering section. How about I make some of my
world famous (haha) steak fingers?

and pick a nice cut of meat. We doing that old farm with Rob this
weekend?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Yeah, just got
off the phone with the land owner – hard fellow to track down –
and he's given us the okay. Looking forward to it. BTW, we're going
to be doing some cool things this summer – just spoke with some
interesting people. I'll tell you over dinner. Also block Chelsea
McKee, a second sockpuppet.

charset="utf-8" Spoke with both the Daily Mail and
Huffington Post, or HuffPost of whatever they're called now. They
were quite helpful. Neither had much nice to say of him, and in fact
it seems he's the butt of many jokes there. Huff said Seph/Joeseph's
a free contributor – an unpaid blog poster essentially. Not
paid as he claims.

The Mail messaged me back again with a juicy tidbit about ol' Seph.
You'll have a big chuckle. I'll show you when you get home. Did you
hear the CBC Radio piece? It's available online. The host ripped him
a new one.

Do you recall Don, the fellow I did some location work with for the
Fargo series? He used his connections to get me in touch with Walking
Dead Producer Paul Gadd. Paul said “Seph Who?” Yup, he's
not a scout for the show. Got it on paper. More ammo should Seph bug
us again.

Twiddling my thumbs waiting for the a call. You might find this
humourous. Counted how many times Seph repeated certain words in his
messages. The Seph top five: Viral Video (thirty three times!)
Walking Dead, Zooey Deschanel, artivist and Huffpost. He only said
mall once, which is surprising. The things I do when I'm
bored!

Cleveland called back. Got the papers to them. They asked if
Joe/Seph's grammar was really that bad. Told them it was and
everything was sent verbatim. I could hear them
laughing.
