III) HISTORY OF COMPLAINT – Not Complete
IV) AMENDED COMPLAINT –
1. Legal Arguments and issues of the Statute of Limitations and Time Barred Causes of Actions that support that justice has been denied and due process subverted thus granting relief to the PLAINTIFFS:
a. (“RICO”), 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq.; A claim may be barred by the statute of limitations if you discovered or reasonably should have discovered your injury four or more years ago.
b. Civil RICO claims are not subject to a statute of limitations. Congress failed to include a statute of limitations when it passed the RICO Act, but the United States Supreme Court has remedied that oversight and imposed a four-year statute of limitations on all civil RICO claims.
c. Civil Rico's statute of limitations begins to run when the victim discovers or reasonably should have discovered its injury. Once a victim is aware or should be aware of its injury, the victim has four years to discover the remaining elements of its claim and bring suit. A victim cannot sit on its rights and refrain from filing suit in the face of known injuries.
d. There are several equitable doctrines that may toll or suspend the running of the statute of limitations. If a defendant fraudulently conceals facts that are essential to the victim's ability to purse its rights, the running of the statute of limitations may be tolled.
e. Acts of duress, such as "if you sue me, I'll kill you," may toll the running of the statute of limitations.
f. All tolling doctrines are based upon whether it is fair, under the circumstances, to bar the victim's claims on the basis of the running of the statute of limitations.
g. If a defendant engages in a new pattern of racketing, that causes new and independent injuries, a new limitations period may apply to those new and independent injuries.
2. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly referred to as RICO), 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq.;: RICO is a United States federal law which provides for extended penalties for criminal acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, Pub. L. No. 91-452, 84 Stat. 922 (Oct. 15, 1970). RICO is codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 1961 through 18 U.S.C. § 1968. RICO addresses long-term, not one-shot, criminal activity. Not only must a RICO claim be based upon criminal activity, but the criminal acts must constitute a "pattern" of criminal activity.
a. A single criminal act, short-term criminal conduct, or criminal actions that bear no relationship to each other will not give rise to a RICO claim. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that criminal actions constitute a "pattern" only if they are related and continuous.
b. In order to be "related," the criminal acts must involve the same victims, have the same methods of commission, involve the same participants, or be related in some other fashion. A pattern may be sufficiently continuous if the criminal actions occurred over a substantial period of time or posed a threat of indefinite duration.
c. The former patterns are referred to as closed-ended patterns; the latter patterns are referred to as open-ended patterns.
d. Accordingly, even if you have been injured by a criminal act, you will not have a RICO claim unless that criminal act is part of a larger pattern of criminal activity.

Pete Wolfson of Lancaster Aviation conducts the meeting, as an official agent of Lancaster Aviation. Commonwealth Bank has approved the financing of $97,000 for the purchase. The additional $25,000 required is not yet available. Pete Wolfson insists that the plane must be purchased before being flown back to the Midwest. Pete Wolfson requests a post-dated check from PLAINTIFF for the remaining balance. PLAINTIFF refuses, citing that the remaining funds must be liquidated from the Keystone Mutual Fund, and the exact receipt of the moneys is not guaranteed, and could take up to 10 days. Pete Wolfson agrees not to deposit the check until PLAINTIFF confirms that the funds have been received and deposited in order to cover the check for the remaining $25,000.

On June 18, 1987, the PLAINTIFF and Randy Grespin, corporate attorney for The Life Underwriters Group, fly to Atlanta, Georgia, to visit with executives of Planners Securities Group, a nationally known Broker Dealer, and joint venture partner that was in the midst of a deal in which Financial Management Group, Ltd., had negotiated an equity interest. The PLAINTIFF had initially consulted with both Kauffman and Hartlett concerning the trip, however when both disagreed, The PLAINTIFF questioned why the PLAINTIFF was the only principal to personally visit the operations of Hibbard Brown & Company, which lead the PLAINTIFF his decision to terminate the ill fated merger.
20. Planners Securities Group, was regarded as the most successful Broker Dealers in the financial planning community, and included several former presidents of the national board of the International Association of Financial Planners. The company had previously been recruiting Financial Management Group, Ltd.,., and offering an attractive equity interest.

Randy Grespin advised The PLAINTIFF to take some time and seek legal counsel.
22. On June 18, 2007, after arriving at the corporate offices of Upon entering the offices of Financial Management Group, Ltd., Robert Kauffman pulls The PLAINTIFF into his office and abruptly shouts "Who is running this corporation, me or you?".

PLAINTIFF voted by telephone from the Chicago Airport, in the midst of his travel to Palm Springs and Hollywood California. The Board also voted to negotiate and approve a deal with the Planners Securities Group, of Atlanta, GA. PLAINTIFF had won the votes of Alan Loss and Robert Long, overturning the decision of Robert Kauffman, President, and Michael Bartlett and officially terminating the agreement. This vote, in and above itself, took control of the Board of Directors from Kauffman and Bartlett, and put the power of the Board in the direction of PLAINTIFF. This will eventually lead to the Coup conspired by Kauffman and Hartlett to find a way to get PLAINTIFF out of the corporation.
26. On January 20, 1987, the PLAINTIFF and Al Dannatt, a principal and managing partner with the commercial mortgage banking company Institutional Investors of Houston, Texas, consummate a joint venture agreement where the PLAINTIFF will market and solicit clients on the eastern part of the regional for commercial mortgages with a lending authority of $3 to $100 million dollars.

Prior to the meeting, Dave Schaad had indicated by telephone, that Robert Kauffman had invited himself to the meeting, without prior consent or notice to The PLAINTIFF, During the meeting, The PLAINTIFF disclosed the current criminal activities within the principals of Financial Management Group, Ltd., being facilitated by Robert Kauffman himself.
30. In June of 1987, Jill Carson, a Fulton Bank Branch Manager libeled and slandered the PLAINTIFF in notifying Mr. Chuck Smith, owner operator of Lancaster Aviation, the Plaintiff was bankrupt and had no liquid funds, which was totally fabricated. At the time of this infringement and at least until August 8, 1987, the PLAINTIFF’s credit rating as reported by the Lancaster Credit Bureau was perfect, with all creditors “paid in full within 30 days, as agreed”. The credit report included 22 creditors. Being that the PLAINTIFF was a customer, borrower, and a client in good standing with Fulton Bank, this amounts to defamation of character, slander, wrongful interference with business relations, wrongful interference with contracts, trespass to person, unfair competition, fraud, conspiracy, embezzlement, breech of contract.
31. On July 1, 1987, the PLAINTIFF retained the counsel of Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq., of Lancaster, to arrange for a meeting to discuss the recent events and Coup attempt by Kauffman and Hartlett that included several criminal and security violations. The PLAINTIFF visits with Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. and describes the incidents in detail, including the "Digital Movie", ISC, and all related activities. Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. instructs The PLAINTIFF to have all of the files copied and arranges for the return of all Financial Management Group, Ltd., corporate files. The PLAINTIFF had questioned Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. for a legal opinion as to his right of any moneys in Financial Management Group, Ltd., checking accounts that he was authorized to sign for. Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. advised that The PLAINTIFF had no right to any funds. All checks were returned to Financial Management Group, Ltd., along with all other documents.
32. The PLAINTIFF advises Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. that he is in fear that someone is deliberately orchestrating all of the recent incidents, which were quite extraordinary and extremely criminal and have been coming from all directions. The PLAINTIFF advised Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. that he would like to take all of his files to Stone Harbor, New Jersey for safekeeping while he pursued his legal recourse. The PLAINTIFF also explained that he would feel safer leaving Lancaster until these circumstances were brought under control.
33. Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq., failed to provide any advocacy representation; colluded with Financial Management Group, Ltd.,; failed to inform the PLAINTIFF of any conflicts of interests with current clients (Mr. William Clark, in house legal counsel for International Signal & Control, Plc.,); was negligent in not reviewing the hundreds of documents the PLAINTIFF delivered and for not identifying causes of actions, which United States District Judge Mary McLaughlin identified from similar documents in June of 2006; was negligent in not believing the PLAINTIFF detailed account of the Commonwealth National Bank (Mellon Bank) wrongful repossession, may have conspired to cover-up the PLAINTIFF’s Federal False Claims Act against International Signal & Control, Plc,.
34. Mr. Joseph F. Roda committed fraud in invoicing the PLAINTIFF for services rendered, without any actual benefit afforded to the PLAINTIFF.
35. The Defendants conspired to discredit the PLAINTIFF with a massive campaign of libel, slander and deceit when immediately following the meeting with International Signal & Control, Plc., meeting of June 23, 1987 the following contracts were terminated without cause:
a. Planners Securities Group, Ltd., NASD Series 22 Securities License
b. Planners Securities Registered Representative Agreements
c. William O. Umiker Executor of Estate
d. Michael T. Caterbone Power of Attorney
36. On July 3, 1987, at approximately 12:00 am, Victor Miasnikowcs, owner operator of Romar Aviation (Currently Venture Jets, Inc.) calls The PLAINTIFF to notify him that his aircraft was reposed some hour earlier, and locked in the hanger of Lancaster Aviation, with all of his personal and business files on board. Victor only would say that Commonwealth Bank had taken part in the repossession, with no reasons given. The first payment of the loan agreement with Commonwealth National Bank (Mellon Bank) was not due until July 25, 1987 and the $25,000 cash deposit for the airplane was now officially extorted from the PLAINTIFF. There was no money due to Commonwealth National Bank (Mellon Bank). The PLAINTIFF also becomes quite suspicious, after learning a few weeks earlier that his efforts to provide a refinance of some $6 million to Boyd Wilson Properties, was more favorable than the existing or proposed financing arrangements now place with Commonwealth National Bank (Mellon Bank), which not only has a lender relationship with The PLAINTIFF, but is also a competitor for his mortgage banking activities. It was also known that The PLAINTIFF's lending authority was larger and more competitive than most of the local banking community. The PLAINTIFF now becomes in fear for his life due to this incident, and all other unexplained incidents in the preceding days and weeks.
37. Commonwealth Bank engaged in an illegal repossession, conversion, replevin, trespass, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and/or breach of contract arising out of the alleged repossession, Count IV - extortion, lender liability, interference with business contracts and relations, civil conspiracy, fraud, and violated anti-trust and lender liability laws.
38. On July 4, 1987 at approximately 9:00 am in the morning, The PLAINTIFF calls his attorney Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq., under emotional duress from the previous conversation with Victor and the repossession of his aircraft with all documents on board; Mr. Joseph F. Roda, Esq. responds "Stan, you have to quit fabricating these allegations, it is July 4th, what do you want me to do. This conversation reaffirms a conspiracy theory within Lancaster to ruin him, and supports his efforts to leave Lancaster with his files to solicit aid and support from legal and law enforcement authorities to suppress the conspiracy. The PLAINTIFF realizes that the documents were authentic proof and evidence of all of his allegations, and most importantly all of his business activities for the past 5 or more years. The loss of the files would have devastating consequences for his life.
39. Mr. Joseph F. Roda committed fraud in invoicing the PLAINTIFF for services rendered, without any actual benefit afforded to the PLAINTIFF.
40. On July 4, 1987, at approximately 9:30 am, after the disturbing phone, The PLAINTIFF drives to the Cape May County Airport to solicit the services of a pilot to fly to Lancaster to retrieve his files. Brad Donahue accepts the job, and agrees to a $200 tee, and an additional $200 it there are any difficulties in obtaining the files. The PLAINTIFF provides Brad Donahue with all documentation showing legal title to the aircraft in the event authorities are notified. The PLAINTIFF gives explicit instructions to notify the police in the event personnel will not return all of the files. Brad Donahue arrives a few hours later, with boxes of files. Brad Donahue briefly describes an encounter at Lancaster Aviation, and demands payment of $400 as agreed. An invoice is signed by all parties as proof of payment and the activity, and $400 in cash is paid to Brad Donahue. Pilot Dave Austin, of the Cape May County Airport witnesses the transactions and the event.
41. In the following weeks, Dave Austin, would later disclose to The PLAINTIFF that Brad Donahue was killed in a mysterious "Air-Accident", while over water, with an unexplained and questionable flight chart.
