RED HERRINGS:
A Cautionary Journey
for Citizen Opposition Groups
by John Filcher
how Wisconsin locals & Oneida Nation members successfully battled incinerators

This is a true story about an untrue story. It takes you through the experiences of an ordinary group of citizens and neighbors who banded together to fight against a proposed trash incinerator that would have threatened their neighborhoods. It is an accounting of a scandal that was based on fairy tales of impossible science, and sprinkled liberally with deception and corruption. The true events that unfolded gave meaning to the wry observation that oftentimes, truth really is stranger than fiction. It was finally stopped when a small group decided that enough was enough. They stood up and got the truth out. By telling the truth, they slowly turned the tables against the developer. Written from the point of view of one of those citizens who got involved in the effort to stop the proposed project, this book takes you inside the real-life campaign from the initial discovery of the development all the way through its final demise.

Previously on Oneida Eye:

The defendant Brandon L Stevens was found guilty of the following charge(s) in this case.

      • Battery, a class A misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 940.19(1).

      • Disorderly Conduct, a class B misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 947.01.

COUNT I: cause bodily harm to another, to-wit: T**** D******, by an act done with intent to cause bodily harm to that person and without the consent of the person so harmed; BATTERY, Misdemeanor[.] Furthermore, this incident…involves a DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENSE.

…Brandon L. Stevens is a REPEATER, having been convicted within the past five years of the crime(s): On March 8, 1999, the defendant was convicted of three counts of Burglary, Felonies, in Brown County File No. 98CF568[.]

COUNT II: in a public or private place, engage in violent abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct under circumstances in which the conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance; DISORDERLY CONDUCT, Misdemeanor[.] Furthermore, this incident…involves a DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENSE.

…Ms. Baird indicated that she is a nurse on the maternity ward at St. Mary’s Hospital. She stated that on October 29, 1999, a twenty-two year old woman, later identified as T**** D******, was admitted to the Family Birthing Center from the Emergency Room with complaints of spotting and cramping. Baird stated that D****** is thirty-four weeks pregnant. D****** stated to Baird that there was something she needed to talk to her about. She informed Baird “My boyfriend hit me last night.” D****** then lifted up her short sleeved shirt and showed Ms. Baird bruised arms. Baird notices that D******’s arms were bruised with four to five finger sized bruises on each upper arm including the biceps and triceps. D****** stated that her boyfriend,…Brandon Stevens, grabbed her by the face, hit her head on the driveway, and pointed to the back left side of her head. She also stated her face was red and sore from where he grabbed her and pointed to the left side of her face on her cheekbone. Baird observed small quarter size reddend areas along with a possible bruise orginating from the corner of her eye and extending under her left eye. Baird asked if he had struck her anyplace else and D****** stated he hit her one or two times in the abdomen. It is noted that D****** is approximately eight months pregnant.

On January 14, 2009 the Oneida Business Committee approved the following:

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oneida Business Committee does hereby officially support the appointment of Councilman Brandon Stevens to the Board of Regents for Haskell Indian Nations University.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY BE RESOLVED, that this resolution be delivered to the next meeting of the Haskell Indian Nations University Board of Regents and that copies be provided to the President of the University, Linda Sue Warner and the Chair of the Board, George Tiger.

Perhaps it’s finally time to ask Haskell Indian Nations University why Brandon Stevens is really the type of person they want on their Board of Regents and why they added him in the first place and why they insist on keeping him.

Does it have anything to do with his father, Ernie Stevens Jr., being the multi-term Chairman of the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) and Haskell’s hopes that Ernie might be able to direct more donations and funding sources their way?

Ernie Stevens Jr, Chairman of NIGA

Ernie Stevens Jr, NIGA Chairman

Ernie Stevens Jr. gave Haskell University’s 2013 Commencement Address during which he said:

“I want to also mention my sons; Brandon YellowBird-Stevens and Ernie Stevens III. These two watched their mom and dad play basketball at Haskell when they were just young boys. Brandon is currently serving his second term on the Oneida Nation Tribal Council, has an MBA and serves on the Haskell Board of Regents. Ernest III works in communications and co-produced the motion picture ‘Crooked Arrows.’“

However…

When I arrived on scene I could hear a male speaking or yelling loudly at someone…. As I’m walking up to the residence I looked at the female through the glass storm door and I could see a female that was sitting in a chair hunched over holding her stomach with her arms.  As I got closer to the residence the female looked out of the glass door and at me. I got within 15 feet of the female and I could see the female was upset and crying. The female appears as if she didn’t want to provoke the male any further and was staying submissive in appearance. I could hear the male speaking loudly at her, I heard him say, “This is your fault.” As I was looking at the female she made a gesture with her hand and waved me into the house. I could see the urgency and fear in her eyes and the tears rolling down her face. Officer Dan House and I continued to walk into the residence. Once inside the residence I observed a Native American male, approximately 6 feet tall and 200 lbs, standing and pacing the kitchen over a female that was 5 foot 4 inches and 100 lbs. … I explanied to the male that he was going outside with Officer Dan House and I be speaking with the female without him there.

[She] said her husband Ernest went out with his friends at about 5:30 p.m. last night and didn’t get home until around 5:50 a.m. this morning. [She] said she woke up to the sound of Ernest hitting the front door and yelling. He was calling her a “bitch” and a “c*nt” as he was hitting and kicking the front door. [She] said she walked to the front door and told Ernest to calm down and then she would open the door. Ernest then kicked the front door two times and it swung open. [She] stated she stepped toward the kitchen table and Ernest stepped toward her, he grabbed her by the shoulders with both of his hands and pushed into the dining table. [She] said after a few minutes of screaming at her about not letting him in, Ernest walked back towards the front door, about 8 feet, and picked up a piece of door jam that was about 10 inches long both ends. Ernest then walked back towards her while she was sitting down on a chair in the dining room. Ernest was ranting and raving about her being a “bitch” and said it was over.

[She] said Ernest wasn’t specific about “what was over” but he kept waving the piece of sharp wood about 4-6 inches away from her face. …

[She] said she and Ernest have been married for about 6 years and they have two children together. The children were home and sleeping in the bedroom at the time of the incident. …[She] stated she did not give Ernest permission to do this to her.

I advised Officer House I had enough for charges on Ernest and he would be arrested.

 

 

Ernie Stevens III had this to say about Oneida Eye in August 2013 while he was still in the deferred prosecution agreement in Brown Co. Case No. 13CM1711 regarding a Domestic Violence incident involving the use of a dangerous weapon:

Ernest Lloyd Stevens III – Team Oneida: Rez Patrol

Note that Ernie Stevens III is holding some kind of gun in his Facebook avatar alongside his implied threats of vengeance & violence against the admins and authors of OneidaEye.com while saying that any enrolled members of the Oneida Nation in Wisconsin who are involved with keeping General Tribal Council informed via this website should be disenrolled and banned from the ONWI Reservation for life, “for their own good”.

On August 30, 2017 the Oneida Business Committee approved the following:

Maybe Haskell University officials don’t really care who’s on their ‘Rascal Board of Rejects’ or if it’s all just malignant NEPOTISM.

City Manager Dan Sabolsky: And last, going back to my questions over here: Mr. Ron Van Den Heuvel is no longer in Cheboygan, Michigan. He was the consultant for Great Lakes Tissue. I don’t, am not sure what that means now for Great Lakes Tissue. And, he has also been ordered not to come back to Cheboygan, Michigan. He’s on an ‘extended vacation.’

Q: Who ordered him?

Sabolsky: Feds.

Q: The judge or Bureau of Prisons?

Sabolsky: Bureau of Prisons. His latest interview, he was not, I think he violated his parole by doing the interview. And, also in the latest interview, he admitted he was more than an ‘owner’ [sic ‘consultant’]. So he is, what do we say? ‘Loose lips, sink ships’? There was a perfect example. So, that is all I have, Council[.]

  • September 14, 2021 TEXT ONLY ORDER by Judge William Griesbach directing the U.S Government & Probation Office to file a response within the next 21 days to Ronald Van Den Heuvel’s Motion to Amend/Clarify Judgment to correct 1) Date of Birth, 2) Date of Sentencing in 16-CR-64 only, and 3) Term of Imprisonment, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Case No. 17-CR-160,  United States of America  v.  Ronald H. Van Den Heuvel

NOTE: Heuvel is misspelled as “Huevel” twice on the first page.
ALSO, Ron appears to be claiming that he should receive credit for the six months during which the Court allowed him to delay beginning his first sentence of 36 months, as if it were ‘home confinement’ rather than a suspension of his imprisonment. In reality, the suspension was curtailed when the Court discovered that Ron was continuing his fraud schemes and threatening victim witnesses via phone while awaiting the actual beginning of his sentence. Ron was later given a second additional sentence of 90 months to be served concurrently with the first. In Oneida Eye’s opinion, the Court should change the sentencing to be consecutive for wasting the Court’s time with frivolous filings.

Below is video of Ron Van Den Heuvel being taken to begin his first prison sentence on July 6, 2018:

[T]he Nation’s sole argument is that it is immune and not subject to the Ordinance because it’s special event occurs within the boundaries of its 1838 Reservation boundaries, the entirety of which it claims constitutes Indian country. For the reasons set forth above, the court concludes that it does not and instead holds that only those portions of the original Reservation held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Nation, as well as any allotments still under trust patents, constitute Indian country. …

In truth, the implications of the Nation’s argument are quite breathtaking. If accepted, then not only are the Nation and its members immune from the regulatory measures of the Village, but also those of a substantial portion of the City of Green Bay, Brown and Outagamie Counties, and the State of Wisconsin. To hold in its favor would mean that the Nation has primary jurisdiction over land largely populated by people who have no say in its governing body. Because the Oneida Reservation has been diminished, however, and does not include land held in fee, the Nation’s argument fails. The Nation is therefore not entitled to the relief it seeks, and the Village’s motion for summary judgment will be granted. …

…I conclude that the Treaty of 1838 created the Oneida Reservation. I also conclude that, while there is no evidence of congressional intent to disestablish the Reservation, Congress’s intent to at least diminish the Reservation is manifest in the Dawes Act and the Act of 1906, and that intent was effectuated with the issuance of unrestricted fee patents for the allotted land within the Reservation. To the extent the Nation’s special event was held on property not held in trust by the United States, it is subject to the Ordinance. In addition, the Village’s counterclaim for monetary damages is barred and must be dismissed. The Nation’s motion for summary judgment … is therefore GRANTED-IN-PART and DENIED-IN-PART and the Village’s motion for summary judgment … is accordingly GRANTED.

The court, on its own motion, SUSPENDS briefing in this appeal pending a ruling on counsel’s motion to withdraw.

The defendant was sentenced, on January 23, 2019, pursuant to a plea agreement, on a single count of Wire Fraud, to seven and a half years imprisonment to be served concurrently with a previously imposed three year period of institutionalization in Eastern District of Wisconsin Case No. 16-CR-64. As part of the written plea agreement, the defendant waived his right to appeal. There exists a clear and irremediable communication breakdown between counsel and the defendant to the extent that further competent representation cannot be provided.

  • February 1, 2019 TEXT ONLY ORDER LIFTING STAY and REOPENING CASE. Ronald Van Den Heuvel shall file an answer within 45 days of the date of this order. U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Case No. 17-CV-1261,  U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission [SEC]  v.  Ronald Van Den Heuvel and Green Box NA Detroit LLC

The defendant in this case, Philip Reinhart, cooperated with the government in the investigation and prosecution of criminal activity[.]

This case involved an almost $9.5 million investment fraud scheme organized by Ronald Van Den Heuvel[.] Reinhart and Tami Phillips (who only signed her plea agreement after the defendant pleaded guilty) both pleaded guilty to bills of information charging conspiracy to defraud the United States through wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Section 371. …

The defendant debriefed with the United States on multiple occasions and provided significant information about Van Den Heuvel’ s actions, in particular in regards to the WEDC wing of the fraud scheme. Phillips also signed her plea agreement only after Reinhart pleaded guilty and Reinhart was prepared to testify against Phillips if necessary. Reinhart began cooperating in advance of the indictment of Van Den Heuvel. His cooperation was thus very timely. Reinhart also provided the United States with very useful information about Van Den Heuvel’s continued attempts to raise money for Green Box after Van Den Heuvel pleaded guilty, including sending the United States marketing materials that were created for Van Den Heuvel ventures and sent to potential investors after Van Den Heuvel’s guilty plea. …

Additionally, numerous witnesses have informed the United States of the constant verbal abuse to which Van Den Heuvel subjected Reinhart. …

Due to the sensitive nature of the defendant’s cooperation, the government requests that this motion be sealed for one year, or until further order of the court.

  • January 24, 2019 Complaint re: Jonathon Tubby death in police custody, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Case No. 19-CV-137,  Susan Doxtator, Arlie Doxtator, and Sarah Wunderlich, as Special Administrators of the Estate of Jonathon C. Tubby  v.  Green Bay Police Officer Erik O’Brien, Green Bay Police Officer Colton Wernecke, Green Bay Police Chief Andrew Smith, Fmr. Brown Co. Sheriff John R. Gossage, Brown Co. Jail Administrator Heidi Michel, City of Green Bay, Brown County WI, and Green Bay Police Officers John Doe 1-10

[I]mmediately upon being confronted by the government, Mr. Reinhart acknowledged his wrong-doing and thereafter cooperated with the government in their investigation of [Ron] Van Den Heuvel’s sprawling criminal conduct. …

Mr. Reinhart and his wife still reside in Green Bay, in that family home, but because of the devastating financial impact of this case, they have been forced to try to sell.

Mr. Reinhart held several different jobs in the Green Bay area before he started working for Van Den Heuvel in 2007, after being introduced to him through Mr. Reinhart’s brother, Peter. It is that relationship with Van Den Heuvel that ultimately landed him before this Court. Claire Reinhart describes her father’s constant struggle to provide for his family while enduring an abusive work relationship with Van Den Heuvel:

All my dad has ever wanted to do is support me and my mom.… He suffered silently while working under constant abuse, harassment, and threats. He would work every weekend and often late into the night, just so he could keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. He never liked to let me see him hurting, but I saw it all the time. I saw how he was spoken to at his office, how hard he tried to push through, and how much he withstood. I’m devastated to see how all his years of hard work and efforts to provide for his family have come to this.

 

I am currently the sole owner of Stonehill Financial. LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company, which is currently engaged in the consulting business and formerly owned various limited liability companies which engaged in the acquisition at a discount of distressed commercial and industrial loans from banks and financial institutions. In 2005 one such entity, SHF XII, LLC, acquired twenty plus million dollars of debt from CB Marine bank. The obligors included companies related to or formerly related to the Defendant including Nature’s Way Tissue owned by an Indian tribe [Oneida Nation of Wisconsin], Oconto Falls Tissue, Inc. and other entities owned in whole or in part by Defendant. All or substantially all of Defendant’s debt was personally guaranteed by him and partially guaranteed by affiliates controlled by some of Defendant’s family.

The rest of the letter is comedy gold.

[Ron Van Den Heuvel’s] pitches regarding Green Box were rife with material falsehoods, including claims of “zero waste water discharge” displaying fuel pellets that were actually made by a different company; and claims of patents and business relationships that did not exist. … Then after receiving funds, Van Den Heuvel told more lies to string victims along, changing stories as necessary to stay just ahead of trouble. …

Van Den Heuvel’s conduct caused even broader economic harm. … Victims incurred additional costs, such as legal fees, that are not included in the loss amount. … And the loss amount does not account for the various employees, contractors, and vendors whom Van Den Heuvel failed to pay for their contributions to the Green Box project even as he diverted funds to maintain his prominent image. …

He instead spent [investor] funds on such items as Packers tickets, his children’s private school tuition, and a new Cadillac Escalade for his wife [Kelly Yessman Van Den Heuvel].

…It is not accurate to say that the Green Box plan has been fully validated. …

Only significant incarceration will reflect the seriousness of the offense, promote respect for the law, and provide just punishment. As noted, Van Den Heuvel engaged in a long-term, deliberate fraud scheme that took advantage of a range of victims and undermined State and federal job-creation programs.

The need to “protect the public from further crimes of the defendant” also supports a lengthy term of imprisonment. … Van Den Heuvel’s history, especially since indictment, has shown that he will engage in fraud unless he is actually restrained from doing so. Significant incarceration is necessary to restrain Van Den Heuvel and impress upon him that such conduct results in real consequences.

A significant sentence is required also to deter others from pursuing fraudulent schemes and abusing public programs. The potential for general deterrence is heightened here because Van Den Heuvel is well known in the Green Bay area. Indeed, because Van Den Heuvel defrauded the WEDC, news media throughout the State have followed this case and likely will report the sentence imposed here. Lengthy incarceration will send the proper message, whereas Van Den Heuvel’s requested sentence – just 24 months beyond his current 36-month sentence – could send the troubling message that crime pays. …

The United States respectfully requests that the Court impose a 90-month term of incarceration to run concurrently with the sentence imposed in Case No. 16-CR-64; a restitution order for at least $9,428,618.81; a period of supervised release; and a special assessment of $100.

I have heard it said that ‘we are hiding money’ or that we lived an extravagant lifestyle. I can tell you that is not true. I live in a home that was built by my husband and his first wife. I do not own the home and have been given 30 days to vacate.

Since indictment, the defendant has postponed this criminal trial for three years. Many of the victims are no longer physically capable of testifying. Even some of the victims who were prepared to testify at trial two years ago have seen their health deteriorate since then, to the point that they no longer can testify. Other victims have been so traumatized by the financial devastation wreaked by the defendants’ fraud that they cannot testify for the sake of their own mental health. A further continuance of this trial would be a grave disservice to justice, as even fewer victims would be in a position to testify and fewer victims would be alive to see justice served.

As Dr. [Emily] Greenwald explains, after completion of the Treaty of 1838, Oneida leaders almost immediately began petitioning the federal government to exchange their individual 100-acre parcels for larger 320-acre parcels west of the Mississippi. These petitions resulted in the negotiation and execution of a new treaty that would have allowed for individual Oneida to voluntarily determine whether to exchange their individual 100-acre parcels for larger parcels outside of Wisconsin. ... Although the new treaty was never ratified, this documentary evidence shows that both the United States and the Oneida understood the Treaty of 1838 as granting separate 100-acre tracts to each individual Oneida Indian. In contrast to this evidence, the Nation does not cite a single piece of evidence that would illustrate how the Oneida understood the Treaty of 1838 when it was executed.

It respectfully suggested that the court change venue to Milwaukee.

At the April 12, 2018 hearing [TRANSCRIPT] on the Department of the Interior’s motion to dismiss claims challenging its decision to federally recognize “Oneida Nation” as the new name of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin, the Court addressed questions concerning the confusion and injury that the decision would cause. …

Attached is recent correspondence between the federal Indian Health Service (IHS) and the Nation, which shows that IHS confused the Oneida Nation [of WI] with the [Oneida Indian] Nation [of NY] and mistakenly demanded that the [Oneida Indian] Nation [of NY] formulate a “corrective application plan.” See Exhibit A (letters and emails). Relatedly, attached is a Purpora Engineering invoice that recently came to my attention. Purpora mistakenly emailed the invoice to the [Oneida Indian] Nation [of NY] even though the Oneida Nation [of WI] is the company’s customer. See Exhibit B (invoice and emails).

  • April 4, 2018 NOTICE OF HEARING re: Motion to amend conditions of release is scheduled for 4/17/2018 at 01:30 PM in Courtroom 201, 125 S. Jefferson St., Green Bay, WI 54301 before Chief Judge William C. Griesbach, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Case No. 17-CR-160,  United States of America  v.  Ronald H. Van Den Heuvel

In recent months, the Government has learned about multiple questionable financial transactions initiated by Van Den Heuvel since he has been under court supervision. The Government has not completed its investigation of these transactions. Given their frequency, size, and indicia of fraud, however, the Government seeks to update the Court about these transactions and to modify Van Den Heuvel’s conditions of release to prevent this conduct going forward. In the Government’s view, a modification of Van Den Heuvel’s conditions of release is necessary to protect the public as well as Van Den Heuvel’s previously identified victims, who are statutorily entitled to restitution. …

For the aforementioned reasons, the Government proposes that Van Den Heuvel’s conditions of release be modified to include a prohibition on Van Den Heuvel engaging in any financial transactions with a dollar value over $500 without obtaining pre-approval from the United States Probation Office, and a requirement that Van Den Heuvel provide access to all financial information requested by the United States Probation Office.

…[Ron] Van Den Heuvel’s offense was quite like a Ponzi scheme, seeking loan after loan to maintain a mirage of success. …

The need for both specific and general deterrence also supports a term of imprisonment. Van Den Heuvel has shown a disturbing, serial pattern of manipulating others over a long period of years. As noted, several years after the Horicon Bank fraud scheme, Van Den Heuvel attempted to defraud other banks through his son-in-law [Patrick Hoffman]. … A period of incarceration is appropriate to prevent Van Den Heuvel from engaging in fraud and to send him a message that such conduct results in real consequences. Likewise, a significant sentence is necessary to deter others in the community who would be tempted to view banks as opportunities to engage in scams. The potential for general deterrence is increased by the fact that Van Den Heuvel and this case are well known in the Green Bay area. Indeed, a light sentence would send the troubling message that crime pays.

Van Den Heuvel, Paul Piikkila, and Kelly Van Den Heuvel

United States Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad, of the Eastern District of Wisconsin announced that the grand jury indicted Ronald Van Den Heuvel (age: 62) of De Pere, on wire fraud and money laundering charges today. The indictment alleges that Van Den Heuvel fraudulently obtained over $9 million in loans and investments for his eco-friendly “Green Box” business plan but diverted much of the funds to his own purposes.

INDICTMENT

THE GRAND JURY CHARGES:

1.  Beginning at by March 8, 2011, and continuing at least through August 2015 in the State and Eastern District of Wisconsin and elsewhere,

RONALD H. VAN DEN HEUVEL

knowingly devised and participated in a scheme to defraud lenders and investors, and to obtain money from lenders and investors by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises related to his “Green Box” business plan, which scheme is more fully described below.

2.  As a result of his scheme, Van Den Heuvel fraudulently obtained more than $9,000,000 from a range of lenders and investors, including individual acquaintances, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (“WEDC”), a Canadian institutional investor, and Chinese investors who participated in the EB-5 immigrant investor program. …

Arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. in Courtroom 201, 125 S. Jefferson St., Green Bay, WI 54301 before Chief Judge William C. Griesbach.

  • September 19, 2017 SEC Complaint, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Case No. 17-CV-1261,  United States Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC]  v.  Ronald Van Den Heuvel & Green Box NA Detroit LLC

COMPLAINT

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission alleges as follows: Nature of the Action

Nature of the Action

1. This case involves misrepresentations and the misappropriation of millions of dollars of investor funds by defendant Ronald Van Den Heuvel. He took advantage of investors who believed that they were investing in a new way to recycle post-consumer waste.

2. Van Den Heuvel lured investors with promises that he would use their funds for an eco-friendly recycling process called the Green Box Process. He claimed that the Green Box Process would take food-contaminated waste and convert it into usable products, such as recycled paper. Van Den Heuvel represented that he would use investor funds to buy equipment, open a Green Box facility, and ultimately help to create a green solution for post-consumer waste.

3. In reality, Van Den Heuvel misappropriated a substantial percentage of the funds contributed by investors. Instead of using investor funds to implement the Green Box Process, Van Den Heuvel used a significant portion of their investments for improper purposes, such as a Cadillac Escalade, payments to his ex-wife, overdue taxes, Green Bay Packers tickets, and cash for himself.

4. Van Den Heuvel took advantage of foreign investors who put their trust in him. In particular, in 2012 and 2014, Van Den Heuvel raised over $3 million from a Canadian asset management firm named Cliffton Equities. Van Den Heuvel promised to use its investment to buy and operate specific pieces of equipment, but in reality, he spent the money as he pleased.

5. Van Den Heuvel also exploited investors from China. Between 2014 and 2015, Van Den Heuvel and his company (Green Box NA Detroit, LLC) raised approximately $4,475,000 in investment proceeds from at least nine investors from China. The investors made their investments through the EB-5 immigrant investor program, which is a U.S. government immigration program for foreign nationals seeking permanent U.S. residency.

6. Van Den Heuvel promised to use the funds from the EB-5 investors from China to develop a Green Box facility in Michigan. In reality, Van Den Heuvel misappropriated millions of dollars, using investor funds to pay unrelated business and personal expenses.

7. Van Den Heuvel made other misrepresentations about the Green Box Process in order to attract funds from investors. He touted a relationship with Cargill and the ability to use a key additive when, in reality, Cargill had terminated the relationship and sued his company. He claimed that tax-exempt bonds would provide approximately $95 million to $125 million in financing when, in reality, he knew that the State of Michigan had all but denied the application. He represented that his company held seven patents when, in reality, it held only one. He also told different investors that their funds had purchased the same pieces of equipment.

8. Based on Van Den Heuvel’s representations, the investors believed that they were investing in a new, environmentally-friendly project to recycle waste. In reality, they unwittingly provided the financing for Van Den Heuvel’s improper spending spree. …

3. The Nation sues the Department under the Administrative Procedure Act to overturn a series of final agency actions taken during the previous administration. By those actions, the United States first gave federal approval to and then federally recognized the change of name of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin (“the Wisconsin tribe”) to Oneida Nation, causing confusion with and damaging the Nation. The last of the challenged agency actions – the Department’s decision to change the Wisconsin tribe’s federally recognized name that is published in the Federal Register in the official list of federally recognized tribes – appears to have been approved by a Department official who was a member of and a former attorney for that Wisconsin tribe who thus had a disqualifying conflict of interest….

46. The Department appears to have acted under the direction of and notwithstanding the conflict of interest of the Acting Assistant Secretary. The Federal Register indicates that the revised list was published by or under the authority of “Lawrence S. Roberts, Acting Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs.” 81 Fed. Reg. 26826 (May 4, 2016) …(bold and italics omitted); see 82 Fe3d. Reg. 4915, 4917 (Jan. 17, 2017) (most recent published list, under Mr. Roberts’ name, republishing Wisconsin tribe’s changed name). In 2016, the Nation, by counsel, made FOIA requests to the Department in Washington, D.C. for documents regarding Mr. Roberts’ recusal from decisions regarding the May 4, 2016 list. The Department neither produced documents nor indicated that it had no responsive documents.

47. Mr. Roberts, who served during the prior administration and left the Department on January 20, 2017, could not be a neutral decision-maker. He is a member of the Wisconsin tribe, which had included Mr. Roberts’ name in a list provided to the Department in connection with the name-change election, titled “Final List of Registered Voters for the May 2, 2015 Secretarial Election Amending the Constitution and Bylaws of the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin.” As a lawyer in private practice, Mr. Roberts had previously represented his tribe and had reason to believe he would continue to do so after leaving government service and returning to private practice. His interests could be substantially affected by the decision to change or not to change the name by which the United States officially recognizes his tribe, and his impartiality in the matter would reasonably be questioned.

  • August 11, 2017 Plaintiffs’ Proposed Findings of Fact, U.S. District Court / Eastern Wisconsin, Green Bay Division Case No. 14-CV-1203,  Tissue Technology LLC, Partners Concepts Development Inc., Oconto Falls Tissue Inc., and Tissue Products Technology Corp.  v.  TAK Investments LLC and Sharad Tak

[The July 2, 2014 Brown Co. WI Sheriff’s Office] affidavit established that the defendants’ enterprise was permeated with fraud. …

The large quantity of materials seized reflects not officer misconduct, but rather the pervasive, complex, and long-term nature of the defendants’ fraudulent activities. …

This case arose from federal investigations regarding the defendants pursuing two schemes to defraud banks by obtaining loans through straw borrowers. Separately, the [Brown County WI Sheriff’s Office] was investigating Ronald Van Den Heuvel for defrauding investors and lenders by promoting his Green Box businesses. Federal agencies also subsequently began investigating Ronald Van Den Heuvel’s Green Box scheme; that investigation is ongoing and has not led to charges yet. …

Courts have applied this “permeated by fraud” doctrine to approve of broad search warrants when there was probable cause to believe an enterprise was fraudulent. …

This doctrine applies here because the BCSO affidavits establish ample cause to believe that Ronald Van Den Heuvel conducted his businesses through a long series of interlocking fraudulent maneuvers. To illustrate, following are facts asserted in the affidavits…:

•  Mr. Van Den Heuvel made false representations to a series of investors to get them to make large investments in his Green Box enterprise …

•  Mr. Van Den Heuvel pledged the same collateral to multiple creditors …

•  Mr. Van Den Heuvel represented Green Box to be a functioning entity to possible investors when it was not …

•  Money obtained from investors for Green Box was used by Mr. Van Den Heuvel for clearly personal expenses, not for stated purposes …

•  Those expenditures included items like alimony to his ex-wife, payments on a house for his ex-wife, payments on a Green Bay Packers luxury box, and a trip Las Vegas …

•  Mr. Van Den Heuvel directed his employees to make false accounting entries in order to mask his financial activities …

•  In order to stall creditors, Mr. Van Den Heuvel wrote large checks that he knew had insufficient funds to cover them …

•  He regularly withdrew money from his business entities for his own personal purposes …

•  He inflated the value of his purported assets …

•  He knowingly made false representations in a civil suit …

•  Mr. Van Den Heuvel transferred titles to company vehicles to his son in law in order to use as collateral to obtain loans for Van Den Heuvel’s benefit …

•  He took money out of the company but did not pay himself wages in order to avoid paying tax debts to the IRS …

•  The affidavit makes clear that Mr. Van Den Heuvel ran his businesses as a fraudulent enterprise meant to finance his high-end lifestyle with other people’s money. As such, his businesses were permeated by fraud, thus justifying the seizing of all of his business records. …

[A]s detailed above, before the search warrant executions in July 2015, the federal investigation had already gathered the vast majority of the necessary evidence and information to prosecute the Horicon Bank fraud. Among its final investigative steps, the FDIC and FBI would have approached Van Den Heuvel directly, whether by subpoena or search warrant, for any additional evidence he had. It just so happened that the BCSO executed its search warrants first. If the [Brown County Sheriff’s Office] had not executed its search warrants, the federal investigators would have inevitably recovered the same documents from Van Den Heuvel directly.

Similarly, for the [Patrick Hoffman] straw borrower fraud, key witnesses [Steve Huntington] and [Guy LoCasico]. had already described the fraud to the BCSO before the search warrant was executed. When federal officers later began investigating this scheme, they reviewed those witness statements and followed their leads, obtaining evidence from [Patrick Hoffman] and the financial institutions as independent sources.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons given above, and for reasons to be stated in subsequent briefing after the evidentiary hearing, the United States respectfully requests that the Court deny the defendants’ motions to suppress evidence and return property.

The fact that Mantria Financial might have eventually declared bankruptcy at some indefinite point in the future is irrelevant. The defendant is essentially arguing that he cannot be convicted of murder because his victim would have eventually died of natural causes at some indefinite point in the future. Many legitimate banks suffer financial problems, that does not mean they are not banks. Here, there is no question that the defendant’s fraud scheme “affected” Mantria Financial as defined by the statute.

On September 2, 2015, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania returned a ten-count indictment charging TROY WRAGG, AMANDA KNORR, and WAYDE MCKELVY with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud…, seven counts of wire fraud…, 1 count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud…, and one count of securities fraud…. The charges in the indictment stem from the defendants’ participation in the Mantria Ponzi scheme which collapsed in November 2009 when the SEC filed a motion for a temporary restraining order with the United States District Court in COLORADO.

In his motion, defendant MCKELVY requests the Court to order the government to produce all the e-mails of certain government witnesses. Quite frankly, the government’s desire to obtain these e-mails probably surpasses defense counsel’s desire to obtain these e-mails, because the government believes that these e-mails contain a significant amount of inculpatory evidence. Unfortunately, the government simply does not have and cannot obtain the e-mails requested by defense counsel. All e-mails in the government’s possession have been turned over in discovery. For this reason, the defendant’s motion must be denied.

In order to understand why the government does not have possession of these e-mails, it is necessary to review the investigative process. E-mails are typically obtained in a criminal investigation through the use of a search warrant. The first two government agencies to investigate Mantria were the COLRADO Division of Securities and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because the SEC was able to quickly obtain a temporary injunction and, shortly thereafter, a permanent injunction, the SEC’s investigation of Mantria was abbreviated. Thus, the SEC did not obtain any of the e-mails at issue here. The FBI in Denver [COLORADO] then began a limited investigation of Mantria. This investigation was hampered by the untimely death of the assigned Assistant United States Attorney and the retirement of the FBI case agent. As a result, the FBI in Denver did not obtain the e-mails at issue here. In late 2014, the criminal investigation was transferred to the FBI in Philadelphia. By this point, five years after Mantria collapsed, the government simply could not obtain the necessary search warrants to seize the e-mails at issue here due to the lapse in time, even though there is no question that these e-mails would contain a significant amount of incriminating evidence. Consequently, the government does not have the e-mails requested by the defendant.

[Atty. PAUL SWANSON, Attorney for GBNAGB]:  Have you paid subtantial monies to these various entities to get these projects, get these studies, or whatever, rolling?

[STEPHEN A. SMITH of  GBNAGB ‘Registered Agent’ GlenArbor Partners, Inc.]: Yes. [sighs]

[Atty. Swanson]:  And how much time have you spent?

[Stephen Smith]:  Too much. Um, I’ve spent, I mean, it’s been Ed [Kolasinski]‘s full-time job, times probably 50%, and it’s been virtually my full-time job for the last 3 or 4 months. I’ve had investments elsewhere.

[Atty. Swanson]:  Now, let me back up just to uh, clarify and for full disclosure … that PCDI [Partners Concepts Development, Inc.] contract, who signed that?

[Stephen Smith of GlenArbor Partners]: Ron Van Den Heuvel.

[Atty. Swanson]:  And, was that ‘personally guaranteed’?

[Stephen Smith]:  Yes.

[Atty. Swanson]:  By who?

[Stephen Smith]:  By him.

[Atty. Swanson:] [softly gasps] Who would take Ron Van Den Heuvel’s ‘personal guarantee’?

[Stephen Smith]: I don’t know, but it wasn’t going to be my personal guarantee, though. That was really where that started, um, is um, the, the – When we approached the scrap dealer [TONY HAYES], he wanted a personal guarantee and I was not about to do that for this. I’ve got enough, probably way too much money in this project already and I wasn’t going to guarantee performance.

Later during the 07/24/2017 GBNAGB Bankruptcy Hearing as heard in this Excerpt:

[Attorney BRIAN THILL of Murphy Desmond S.C. for WEDC]:  Is there an arrangement between PCDI and Green Box for the purchase of the equipment?

[Stephen Smith]:  I have… Yes, I have complete control of that So, there’s no – there’s no contractual arrangement. I have the ability to sell that, uh, equipment, and, um, uh, at – at whatever points I deem appropriate for whatever amounts I deem appropriate.

[Atty. Thill]:  How do you know you have that authority?

[Stephen Smith]:  It’s in the operating agreement of the company.

[Atty. Thill]:  When’s the last time you saw that document?

[Stephen Smith]:  Oh, in the last month or two? It’s been in place – it’s been in place for 2 (two) years.

[Atty. Thill]:  Do you trust Ron Van Den Heuvel?

[Laughter & snickering]

[Atty. Thill]:  So, what would stop Ron Van Den Heuvel from entering into some sort of amended agreement with Tony Hayes. He’s already signed one agreement, right?

[Stephen Smith]:  Because he needs to get my approval to do so. It’s very well documented.

[Atty. Thill]:  But, you yourself said you don’t – I believe the word was that Tony Hayes himself was ‘notorious.’ Is that accurate?

[Stephen Smith]:  No, I didn’t say that.

[Atty. Thill]:  Ok, your lawyer said that. Would you agree with you –

[Stephen Smith]:  I would never agree with my lawyer. I’m not nuts. No, I don’t know Tony Hayes. I’ve never met him. So if Tony Hayes is notorious, then – then, uh, that’s – that’s [Atty.] Paul [Swanson]’s opinion.

[Atty. Thill]:  So you have no idea who the scrap dealer is?

[Stephen Smith]:  No, no. That’s not – I didn’t say I don’t have idea who he is. We looked into it carefully. I’ve never met him. I’ve – uh, we – I was fully aware of the transaction; I approved the transaction. Um, and, but your – your question is, “Do you know him?” No. “Is he ‘notorious’?” I don’t know. That’s all opinion.

TONY HAYES filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on July 23, 2013 [U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Wisconsin Eastern District Docket No. 13-29932-svk, Chapter 7, Tony Hayes aka Hayes Salvage]. Although the Order Discharging Debtor(s) was originally filed on October 28, 2013, it was later vacated on November 12, 2015 and the case closed on September 14, 2016.

Chapter 7 Trustee for Debtor / Tony Hayes was Attorney PAUL SWANSON, whose October 20, 2014 Complaint For Revocation of Discharge [U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Wisconsin Eastern District Adversary Proceeding No. 14-02563-svk,  Paul G. Swanson  v.  Tony Hayes] states:

NOW COMES Paul G. Swanson, the Plaintiff and Chapter 7 Trustee, and respectfully represents as follows:

1. On July 23, 2013, the above named Debtor [Tony Hayes] filed a petition for relief under Chapter 7, Title 11 of the United States Code. The Debtor was granted a discharge herein on October 28,2013. The case is still open and the trustee is administering assets of the estate.

2. On July 23, 2013, the Debtor [Tony Hayes] filed his bankruptcy Schedules in this case listing all of his assets and all of his liabilities.

3. On August 22, 2013, the Debtor attended the first Meeting of Creditors wherein he testified under oath that he had listed all of his assets and that his Schedules were true and complete.

4. Among those assets listed are 100% interest in Sturgeon Bay Iron & Scrap Metal, LLC, Full Circle Recycling, LLC, and AAAAA Sanitation, LLC [for which the Registered Agent is Angela Hayes, Tony’s ex-wife]. The Trustee has, since he was appointed to the case, taken possession of the assets of the LLCs for the benefit of creditors as it appears there is substantial equity in the same even though the Debtor did not list a value but rather scheduled them as “indeterminate”.

5. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 727(d)(1) or (2), the Trustee may request revocation of the discharge previously granted.

6. The Trustee is in the process of selling the assets of the Debtor’s wholly-owned LLC, Sturgeon Bay Iron & Scrap Metal, LLC and, as such, has taken possession of all the assets of that entity. In the course of the investigation by the Trustee and his counsel, certain facts have been revealed concerning missing assets from that entity.

7. Specifically, the entity had an interest in a Caterpillar mini excavator, a Lowboy semi trailer and approximately 20 metal dumpsters for the collection of scrap metal.

8. Through the investigation, it was determined that the Debtor [Tony Hayes] was in possession, personally, of these assets. Despite repeated demands upon the Debtor and his counsel for the return of the assets, the Debtor has failed to do so for no justifiable excuse. Such assets are rightfully the property of the LLC which is property of the estate. Such assets have a significant value.

9. Additionally, during the investigation it was also determined that the Debtor is the title owner to a 1996 Peterbilt semi tractor as the Trustee’s counsel observed him driving the same. Once again, despite repeated demands to turn over the semi tractor, the Debtor [Tony Hayes] has failed to do the same.

10. The 1996 Peterbilt semi tractor has, according to the records of the Department of Motor Vehicles, been titled in the Debtor’s name for years. The Debtor omitted the Peterbilt semi tractor from his schedules. The Peterbilt semi tractor has significant value.

11. Upon information and belief, after the date of the filing of the Petition and while the Debtor was still operating one or more of his LLCs, the entities took in substantial amounts of money, a significant amount of which is not accounted for. Trustee believes that the Debtor is withholding funds which are actually property of either Sturgeon Bay Iron & Scrap Metal, LLC or Full Circle Recycling, LLC, which rightfully belong to those LLCs, both of which are property of the state.

12. The Trustee alleges that the Debtor acquired property that is property of the estate, to wit, property of one of his LLCs and, despite repeated demands to do so, has failed to deliver or surrender of such property to the Trustee.

13. The Trustee has also ascertained that the Debtor materially misrepresented the value of his interest in Sturgeon Bay Iron & Scrap Metal, LLC to the Trustee when he knew that the business and its assets had a substantial value to the estate. The Trustee [ATTY. PAUL SWANSON] alleges that this representation or omission rises to the level of fraud and that the Debtor obtained his discharge through such fraud, contrary to 11 U.S.C. § 727 (d)(1).

14. The intentional undervaluation of substantial assets of the Debtor, to wit, his interest in his LLCs, in his Schedules constitutes fraud in fact as does the failure to disclose his ownership interest in a 1996 Peterbilt semi tractor.

15. Such fraud would have prevented the discharge had it been known and timely brought to the attention of the Court.

16. The Trustee did not know of the fraud until approximately July 2014, after the discharge was granted to the Debtor.

17. The Trustee asserts that this is a core proceeding in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 7008.

Wherefore, the Plaintiff requests the following relief:

A.  The discharge of the above-named debtor be revoked.

B.  That the Debtor be ordered to account for all property in his hands that belongs to Sturgeon Bay Iron & Scrap Metal, LLC or any one of his LLCs and turn the same over to the Trustee for liquidation for the benefit of creditors of this estate.

C.  For whatever further relief the Court deems equitable under the circumstances.

2. The Debtor claimed in its Motion to Modify the Revised Third Amended Plan that “A contract has been entered into for the reacquisition of all of the equipment” which had allegedly been previously been abandoned (Docket 255, ¶7) (emphasis added). Yet as of the time of the filing of this Objection, not all of the Debtor’s property has been removed from Little Rapids’ warehouse…

[4]c. Little Rapids’ Motion makes a vague reference to potentially “privileged or other protected matters” which “may” require disclosure, but fails to state what those possibly could be, particularly if they merely involve a third-party salvage dealer [Tony Hayes, Hayes Salvage]…

10. Since confirmation of the Debtor’s Plan, both the Debtor and Little Rapids have represented that all or substantially all of the Debtor’s personal property located in the Warehouse has been surrendered to Little Rapids and subsequently transferred to a third party (see Docket 255, ¶7).

11. WEDC has attempted for months to obtain particulars regarding the alleged surrender, both from counsel [of] the Debtor and Little Rapids, and both in writing and verbally; in response, WEDC has received only partial information.

In the excerpt below, the OBC’s attorney – Chief Counsel Jo Anne House –  admits that Oneida Seven Generations Corp. / OSGC Managing Agent Peter J. King III / King Solutions, LLC, DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO A CONFIDENTIAL MULTIMILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT with Atty. Eric Decator and Arland Clean Fuels / Generation Clean Fuels / ACF / GCF …

but the OBC retroactively and surreptitiously approved the multimillion settlement anyway instead of bringing the matter back to GTC for action as had been promised in the OBC’s Letter mailed to GTC members in late-October 2015 (strangely dated September 23) after the OBC rejected ACF/GCF’s request in August 2015 for a $9 MILLION settlement payment.

After Oneida Eye Publisher Leah Sue Dodge’s inquiry at the July 17, 2017 GTC Semi-Annual Meeting, both the OBC and Attorney Jo Anne House refused to say…

(a)  exactly when the OBC retroactively approved the unauthorized actions of Pete King III

or

(b)  exactly where OSGC actually got multimillions for what
looks & smells like just another white-collar extortion / intentional tort / ‘waste-to-energy’ / ‘plastics-to-oil’ / ‘green investment’

with a treasonous,

genocidal twist?
