Holy Shittlestix - Mr & Mrs Manafort sued by Federal Savings Bank

Look I really want to be obnoxiously snarky because Paulie Walnuts getting his walnuts crushed by the same bank who’s CEO is facing a Superseding Indictment is the Cherry on this Sundae

Well who didn’t have this on their Paulie-Walnuts Bingo card? Admittedly I did but I actually expected Federal Savings Bank would have filed this in 2020 - yet the bank Filed this civil lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) - which I find hilarious —given their “former” CEO Steve Calk is up to his eyeballs in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) addressing the Superseding Indictment (you can read more here)

Paul Manafort and Trump’s Pardon(s):

Trump’s Pardon of Manafort, and Manafort’s acceptance of the aforementioned pardon; 1) by accepting Manafort is accepting the narrative that he is guilty of the crimes two juries found him guilty of; and 2) Manafort now forfeits certain constitutional protections like the 5th Amendment

there were two criminal cases;

Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) and District of Columbia (DDC)

EDVA Final Judgement: 47 months' imprisonment; three years' supervised release; $50,000 fine; $25,497,487.60 restitution (as amended by court order on March 21, 2019) (March 7, 2019)

• Conspiracy against the United States; conspiracy to obstruct justice (witness tampering)

NOW let’s talk about

Federal Savings Bank (FSBank) sues Paul Manafort

Because earlier this week FSBank filed a very long complaint, technically the Complaint is relatively short - it’s the exhibits that make this a forty four page filing - above entitled case: The Federal Savings Bank v Paul Manafort, Kathleen Manafort et al EDNY Civil Case No: 2:21-cv-01393 ECF Docket Rpt - The Civil Complaint via ECF

The Named Defendants - well that’s kind of curious - logistically speaking I think it is safe to say that this civil case will (or at least it should) be held in abeyance while Steve Calk, who’s still a principal owner of FSBank, criminal SDNY matter continues. The inherent conflict that could occur, particularly surrounding discovery —I think the SDNY prosecutors could make a very strong and compelling argument to put the civil matter on pause.

The animus side of me thinks this is Defendant Steve Calk’s ploy to some how recover the millions of institutional loss the bank incurred because of Calk’s personal interventions as it relates to the various Manafort loans. Especially since the intent of the civil complaint seeks to initiate foreclosure of Manafort’s Hampton’s Mansion.

🌶Quick yet funny-sidebar; I still can’t believe some Twitter Trolls tried to trick Claude and others with a hilarious crap-tastic forged Federal Court Filings. It took me less than 5 seconds to not only verify that the “purported” SummerBreeze “indictment’ was 100% forged. The person who forged those documents made the following mistakes;

• bates-header wrong (missing the prerequisites Judge’s initials)

• bates-header circa 1990’s format

• the format of the filing was completely wrong (font and spacing)

• lastly there was no such case.

An indictment isn’t a civil “cv” matter, an indictment is a criminal “cr” matter. That hilarious forgery was one of the worst ones I had encountered out in the wild. And it still makes me chuckle that someone on Twitter thought it would pass the sniff test. Lastly forging Federal Court documents that can easily be proven as a forgery and dare I say not exactly smart.


As previously mentioned the recent civil lawsuit seeks to initiate foreclosure proceedings on Manafort’s Hamptons Mini-Mansion - the reason FSBank also named New York State Department of Taxation & Finance as a defendant - there’s a strong likelihood that Manafort’s might owe “back” property tax. Which ccould encumber the aforementioned property. with a tax lien that would make “reselling” the Hamptons Mini-Mansion slightly complicated.

Yes the $9.5Million loan that Steve Calk personally intervened and at the protest of various FSBank underwriters and loan officers, Calk over-rode each controls built into the Bank’s charter. Thus resulting in millions of dollars in actual loses - again in the superseding indictment article I specifically pointed out that FSBank recently filed SEC disclosures that represent they “sold” bad debt. I genuinely think most overlooked that public filing and it’s actually important.

Since Manafort failed to meet the November 2017 deadline, this triggered various default clauses. Moreover since 2017 the Manaforts have been in default and thusly continue to accumulate late fees and other penalties.

Relevant Court Filings:

Unless otherwise specified- all filings EDNY -foreclosure proceedings for Manafort’s 174 Jobs Lane - Bridgehamptons Mini-mansion. For the record and accuracy, there are several liens on this property- as recent as 2019 via a concrete Company

• Civil Complaint ECF or via my public drive

• Exhibit B - Promissory Note ECF or via my public drive

• Exhibit C - Mortgage ECF or via my public drive

On March 18, 2021 all defendants were served with their respect summons(es) -oh you thought I was being flippant as it relates to the 2019 Concrete Company?

I will assume Suffolk County Records are an acceptable source of factual data. Direct link to the May 2019 Case - mainly because I have never trafficked in forged or manipulated Court Filings or other related documents. Only people of poor character do this and they are also typically plagiarist too - at least that’s been my experience.

Incidentally I do not think Paul Manafort’s legal woes are over. Granted back in 2018 in New York State Court - Oleg Deripaska’s case:

Surf Horizon Limited - v. - Paul J. Manafort Jr. et al was “stayed” and subsequently extended, see January 2020 Request to extend the 2018 Stay - also I went ahead and pulled down the other mortgages via NYC ARIS system and uploaded to a public folder, found here. As needed I’ll update that public folder with additional documents.

The point? Manafort owes a lot of money to a lot of (in my opinion) unsavory people - some of whom (Steve Calk) are facing their own criminal trial(s) but the recent civil lawsuit concerning the $9.5Million loan/mortgage from Federal Savings Bank. I personally think there’s a reason this was filed in the EDNY and the timing is kind of suspect.

I certainly expect that case to be “stayed” but ultimately the bank will likely suffer a multi-million dollar loss (which is why I previously provided you with Steve Calk’s brother - who’s a co-owner of the Bank) recent SEC disclosure. Those disclosures were embedded at the very bottom of this previous article - ICYMI just for clarification Federal Savings Bank - holding company filed the SEC disclosures - and yes of course I previously provided you with the original documents

And with that - I believe you are now caught up…
