Attorney General Letter

Dear Attorney General Barr:

This letter is to request an investigation of FBI Agent Philip Christiana and what appears to be his cover-up of the theft of funds from my Boston company, International Center for Distance Learning, Inc. (ICDL), of over $600,000 as reported by my CPA, Nicholas Pino.  I also reported this theft to my attorney, Frances Quinn of Portsmouth, NH who agreed that I should convey this information to the FBI. Connected to this theft, my wife and I would also like the investigation to include the cover up of a much larger civil or criminal conspiracy of my OfficeLand Inc. assets sold to Staples Inc. worth around 16 million dollars or more. Currently from Wikipedia today: ”In 1991 OfficeLand Inc., under great controversy, Staples purchased OfficeLand’s 23 stores”  Of course, there was great controversy because, as the founder and owner of OfficeLand, Inc. I knew nothing about the acquisition for many years.  

We believe that this conspiracy was originally managed by former FBI Agent, Joseph M. McElhenny, who was my brother-in-law before his sister divorced me in 1972. However, together with my son, Leonard C. Faucher Jr., his mother, and many of my own corrupt family, still continues to direct fraudulent activity  at our Texas business in Houston today. They want to prevent my wife and I from filing costly civil legal action against all involved. The results have negatively affected other stock-holders of my previous companies, employees who we have had to terminate, and vendors who have been financially harmed. From all of the New England states, New York, across to New Mexico, and Texas, those involved with this conspiracy continue to harm our business and, we believe, require an in-depth investigation. For my former brother-in-law, Joseph McElhenny, his motive was personal and to support a fake adoption of my two daughters both of which I’ve been prevented any contact since 1982. For everyone else involved in the conspiracy, their greedy motive continues to be financial.

As CEO of the International Center for Distance Learning, Inc. with headquarters in Boston and a financial office in Salem, NH, I raised 5.3 million dollars in two private placement offerings from sophisticated investors many years ago. All of them lost their investment. In fact, in 2003 it was necessary for my recent wife and I to pay the retainer of $20,000 to the Law offices of Hannify and King of Boston to represent me at an angry group of over 100 ICDL stockholders who gathered in Andover, MA to complain about their investment loss. It was in 2004, I officially reported to the Portsmouth, NH office of the FBI the disappearance of over $600,000 from the bank account of this corporation. With an official audit and signed letter of the company’s financial loss from CPA Nicholas Pino of Charlestown, MA the Portsmouth FBI office informed me that Agent Philip Christiana, an expert in accounting from the Boston office, would take over the investigation I requested. Refusing to meet me in the actual FBI

Portsmouth office, Christiana, instead, strangely met me in a busy restaurant nearby. At his request I gathered all my financial records including our Merrill Lynch bank statements, and copies of cashed checks from investment deposits (where Pino thought the missing funds originated) and gave these documents to Christiana at a second meeting. There was little doubt that, at the time, Christiana agreed that it appeared to him that the funds were missing. Not long after there was a great deal of interference from other powerful Boston millionaires who were members of my Board of Directors and connected to large New England corporations including Gilbane Construction. Because of this pressure, my future wife, Sarma Taylor, and I departed for Santa Fe, NM, looking for a new and safe start. Not hearing anything further from Agent Christiana, I went to the Santa Fe office for their help. However, they got back to me stating that the Boston office was handling my investigation.  Not long after my visit to the Santa Fe FBI office,  Christiana called me with a chilling order for me “….to stop telling people there was an investigation as there never was an investigation and never will be an investigation”. In other worlds he prevented any further inquiry of the obvious theft of over $600,000. He never responded to my communications again.

As I stated above, we believe that this illegal event started years before with the theft of my OfficeLand assets. In 1991, at the request of my Hale and Dorr  (now Wilmer and Hale) attorney, Jeff Stein, I was advised to meet with Joe Mays of Securities Consulting Group of NYC. Recommending an acquisition by a public company, Mays arranged that I meet with a merger company in Salt Lake City. Having met in Salt Lake City with Alan Wolfson of A-Z Professional Services, together with Jeff Stein and Attorney David Sharpe, in exchange for me receiving a great deal of cash and stock from Member Services Corporation, it was planned that I would run a new corporation, OfficeLand International Inc.  However, a few months after conveying all my OfficeLand assets to M&A attorney Sharpe as planned by Stein, I was told that the merger was off. At the same time, my wife, now Susan Ramos, filed for a needless bankruptcy and surprising divorce. Having lost everything and rejected by everyone in my family I was also prevented from any further employment. For about 3 months I actually became homeless.  With my present wife it took many years to identify the people involved. In a quick summary, without my knowledge OfficeLand Inc. and all its 26 stores were sold to Staples Inc. with the illegal assistance of Susan Ramos, my son, and all my family members. As my company was located less than a mile from Staples Inc., in Newton, MA, I also knew the founders of Staples very well (Tom Stemberg and Mitt Romney),  it would be impossible for them not to know that I was the founder and owner of OfficeLand Inc. and not my family. It also turns out that the Alan Wolfson who I was sent to Salt Lake City by Stein and Mays, was later sent to federal prison for racketeering and was identified as being connected to the infamous Gambino family. But this conspiracy continued further with ICDL.

During 2001 through 2002, due to the identified theft of $80,000 by its CFO, Joseph Bonavia, I was required to hire Attorney Irwin Heller of the Mintz Levin Law firm and, through him, proceeded with a law suit against Bonavita and his bookkeeper wife, Ann Lear. Representing ICDL was the Law firm of Cooke and Clancy. After depositions, this case was dismissed and moved to New Hampshire, and turned into a vacation pay countersuit by Lear. Represented in

Dover, NH by Attorney Stephen Gaige, I was then forced into a long court action which found its way into the Rockingham Federal court room of Judge Paul McHugh. Gaige all but told me that he was being bribed to help the other side. After agreeing to pay a $14,000 pay-off to Ann Lear suggested by Gaige, I went to the Clerk of Courts who told me that there was no record of the law suit I was involved with.  No doubt that this was also part of a very well-orchestrated conspiracy that continued after OfficeLand. I sent letters of the ICDL theft of the  $600,000 and possible related activity including that of Agents Christiana and McElhenny to the SEC, NH Attorney General’s office, FBI Director James Comey, and even the NSA Director. However, this should now be extended to a new investigation. This investigation should begin, in our opinion, by soliciting testimony from the following people.

 Leonard. C. Faucher Jr. of Olympia, WA (my son), Susan Ramos, of Auburn, NH (my ex-wife), Andris Ozols of Houston, TX (my wife’s adopted son), Linda Ozols of Houston, TX, (his wife), Pamela Kahn, of Missouri City, TX (business client), Robert Pereira of Rollinsford, NH (my ex-brother in law), Ruth C. Faucher of Waltham, MA, (my mother), Kathleen Johnson of Columbia, NH (my sister), Thomas & Cindy Faucher of Culleoka, TN (brother & wife), George & Suzanne Faucher of Sterling, MA (brother & wife)  Steven and Jody Faucher of New Ipswich, NH (brother & wife), Donna Smiley of Centerville, MA (cousin),  Nicklas Scalese of Andover, MA, (ICDL Director), Joel Jackson (ICDL investor) of Lawrence, MA, Bruce Schwaegler, (ICDL investor) of Wayland, MA, Barry Burbank, (ICDL investor) of North Andover, MA, Walter Reichert of Andover, MA and Naples, FL (ICDL Director), Raymond Broderick (ICDL Director) of White Plains, NY , Lois Silverman (wife of deceased ICDL Director) of Boston,  Dr. Joseph Cronin, (ICDL Director) of South Boston, MA and all lawyers involved.

We are certain that only a few FBI interviews from some of these individuals will reveal both a conspiracy to commit theft and possibly more involvement of organized crime. .

Both my wife and I are well- educated people with Master’s Degrees and would never request an FBI investigation unless we believed that they would truly learn about a great deal of significant illegal activity. And a new investigation may stop the continued efforts to harm our company and prevent us from taking our own personal legal response.  We also have our concerns that current FBI Agent Christiana may be still active today using his abusive power to make sure we don’t attain business success and, at the same time, protect his other FBI agent ally, Joseph McElhenny. Because the fraudulent activity continues, we believe that the Statute of Limitations has not yet expired and interviews with those mentioned above will prove that fact.  In the days ahead, we will be fully describing much of this illegal activity on our new website, OfficeLandConspiracy.com. It is our goal to seek justice from all corrupt activity and seek financial compensation for decades of harmful fraud.  As the new Attorney General we pray that you will fully investigate this illegal matter and bring justice to this on-going conspiracy.

Respectfully

Leonard C Faucher,
