Proof of Concept

They released the video of the public comments. So here is the first one.

I got a lot of feedback. Mainly, people said how brave I was for doing that. It was not an act of bravery. It was an act of desperation.

I was desperate to be heard by my government. Like maybe I had just gotten lost in the shuffle. That’s not the case. It never was.

It was willful. I was ignored. I was brushed aside. Why? Well, that has been the entire question. That is the part I couldn’t figure out.

Like fine, I have texts of {D} saying he was with Aaron Ford, but I know they weren’t buddies. Aaron Ford should have no loyalties to him. In fact, if he did, it would be ill-advised at this point. I’ve made myself known. There are a lot of people who know the story and who I am. I haven’t been particularly coy. But no one engages.

I might be a bit toxic. C’est la vie.

When the Troublemaker said to me, “Oh wow, I just thought of it. They could reverse anything he has done,” the Troublemaker didn’t know what exactly it was {D} did.

I had two very distinct moments of flashback.

The first one was {D} sitting on the couch after work. We were having a “Hi honey, how was your day?” conversation. He was bitching about work. He said, “I hate it when people call me. They say, ‘You work for me’ and ‘I pay your salary.’ They don’t pay my salary. I do. I pay everyone’s salary here.”

{D} was in charge of enforcement and investigations. He was bitching about his employees once and said, “I’m a lawyer. I know what the lawyers need, so that’s what I get them.”

My dad being a lawyer for the FDIC means a few things. I fully understand and have an unusual amount of knowledge of self-funded agencies, and everything {D} was saying made perfect sense. I also understand regulation and banking law more than most people. My dad did enforcement. He was the guy who showed up at the bank and shut it down. That was his job. Then he went to The Hill and worked for Barbara Boxer for a while. Then, after he retired, he went to Annapolis to work for the legislature.

I’ve been around this forever. I understand how the sausage is made. This is just a casual topic of discussion.

This, of course, brings me to my next flashback. Dinner with my dad and LawyerBoy. LawyerBoy does workers’ comp insurance defense.

The topic turns to regulatory penalties. LawyerBoy is talking about Division of Industrial Relations fines. His clients pay them all the time. He was saying that they can really add up because the minimum was like $5,000, and if you had been fined five times before for the same thing, it’s multiples. You would end up paying $25,000. It adds up fast.

Now, for me, piecing these conversations together, I went, well, if the Troublemaker is right, and LawyerBoy says DIR fines are like that, how much money are we talking about? I don’t know yet. The press release has $9.6 million in recovery. The legislative budget has an average of $10 million biennially. Is that just revenue? Is the recovery number inclusive of revenue, or is it on top of it?

Over a seven-year tenure, we’re talking about tens of millions of dollars, if not $100 million, if it’s recovery plus revenue. Then the AG is like maybe $3 million annually on insurance.

That would very much make me an expensive fucking problem.

So next, I went to LawyerBoy and asked if it was possible for the penalized parties to get their shit reversed. And he, in normal LawyerBoy fashion, said, “I don’t know. I’d have to look it up.” So I was like, ask someone. So he went to one of the partners, and she said they absolutely would need that information for their clients, hypothetically of course. LawyerBoy asked if they ever handled DOI fines, and she was going to ask around.

Okay, proof of concept.

The lawyers for the insurance companies agree that this is something they would need to know about.

That is, of course, without the EB-5 knowledge that I don’t even think Nevada realizes yet. Because that shit? There is negligence in hiring him in the first place. The person you put in charge of investigations is being investigated at the time for failing to investigate.

The leaving under criminal investigation is just the cherry on top. That can be argued. Did it really affect his decision-making or anything? I mean, yeah, he is a psychotic serial rapist, but does that negate his regulatory enforcement authority?

But when you piece it together with a) Nevada should have known his background and b) out of seven years he only spent three months NOT under investigation for something.

Then, just for flair, there are personal records. Texts saying things like, “I’ll be in a suit and showered and shaved. These fuckers won’t know I’m still drunk.”

This could snowball into something just fucking indefensible.

And insurance companies have lawyers for their lawyers’ lawyers.

You know what else they’ve got? Lobbyists. NPRA is on the table next legislative session. That’s why the task force is happening. I don’t know, but Vegas is a betting town. There might be a push for a lot more transparency.

We still also have the issue of DOI’s handling of the whole thing. And Todd, I don’t know if you are to blame or if I should thank you. I mean, HR? Really? That was the first thought?

Would anyone have done a fucking thing if you hadn’t watched it?

But for fuck’s sake, three days. It took three fucking days to get it to the police? Do you realize I thought that motherfucker was going to kill me? And meantime he’s telling me that you all have not said a word to him. No one reached out to me. Like seriously, no one was like, “Hey, I wonder if that lady is okay?” Nothing.

Why three days? Was that how long it took to put together the NDA?

That’s why I went to the press on Monday. I had heard nothing. {D} had heard nothing. It was being covered up. Who is next? The press. That’s who.

Of course, he was lying. I know this because in discovery, one of the ladies texted him. I haven’t seen it yet, and I am actually very interested in seeing what she said to him. Then, of course, the other one he was following around and staring at. Again, Todd, you worked with him for years. The look? The intimidating, evil look? That shit sent chills down my spine.

How could you guys even keep him in the fucking office? No one thought that maybe working from home was the way to go? See, the first time he was supposed to get fired, he was chipper. He was calm and fine and relaxed. Then the meeting got canceled and pushed.

The night before that happened, {D} was going off. Like he was flipping out. Was I told right? Were you guys actually planning on letting him stay? Who told him the day before that he was going to be fired?

Seriously, whose side were you on? He is a rapist. You saw it. You watched what he did to me. That’s in the public records. So whose side were you on?

I will give credit where credit is due to Drew. My understanding is he had just started. And I was fucking throwing curveballs at that kid. I saw something on LinkedIn that made me laugh. It was just saying he was an employee, but it was like, “Apparently I work at TMZ now.” I’m assuming it was him.

Every fucking time I talked to the press, there was a press release about how great consumer protection was doing under the sole leadership of Kipper. To me it was so obvious. I collected them and cackled at them.

But the masterful part was the disappearing. I only knew Todd was gone because I saw the job listing. I made a snarky comment about where the deputy commissioners were going. The response I got on Facebook was that the “esteemed” former deputy commissioner had retired and the chief deputy commissioner went to the exchange. I was pissed he said esteemed. So I asked what kind of cake they had at his retirement party and then said, “Oh yeah, there wasn’t one. The police escorted him out and never let him back in.” I was very quickly blocked.

It just dawned on me that he might have been talking about Nick. I have no idea when he left. I can’t find a fucking thing on him. Like that motherfucker is in the wind.

The beautiful part, though, was the commissioner. When Gaines came in as deputy, he and Kipper were getting equal press. If there was something about one, there was something about the other. Three months later, Gaines is acting commissioner. Kipper is sliding back but still there, kind of. And then just Gaines is commissioner. Nothing about the departure, just smooth right in. No one would notice.

It was impressive and masterful. That man deserves abundance in his career. Like, brilliantly done.

The Nevada Division of Insurance rape cover-up of 2024. You all would have gotten away with it too.

Again, you can blame Steve Wolfson for pissing me the fuck off.

Him calling me a whore set something off in me.

The AG and that bullshit. Wow. Looking at the numbers, why would they not violate the law? Why would they talk to me? Like what am I going to do? Sue them? $200,000 limit. First, I can’t get an attorney to take that shit because the case is complicated and that does not cover the hours. Even if I did? $200,000 versus potentially $100 million? Bitch please. That is a simple decision to make.

But is it?

They left me to die. Like I literally told them I couldn’t survive without knowing what happened. I was under surveillance when I tried to kill myself. They fucking knew what they were doing to me. And they didn’t fucking care.

To whom is the fiduciary duty owed? The state or the individual? Is it the greater good? And is the greater good fiscal or public safety? What is the equation on that? How many women would he need to rape to make it worth $100 million to the state to admit they never should have hired him? Which one is the greater good? Money or the safety of women?

The fucked-up part was the months of watching the videos over and over and over and obsessing over every word of the police report, trying to figure out what I did wrong. It couldn’t have been them. It had to have been my fault.

Last but not least is the press. The press is the failsafe for democracy. Governments cover things up and the press goes digging. It’s the actual reason for the First Amendment. This is a fucking story. Let’s break it down. You have a sex tape plus a government official. That is a tale as old as time. Come on now. Then we start adding that the DA is calling a rape victim a whore, the AG is having private citizens who are speaking out against him investigated. We are in an election year in the hottest gubernatorial race in the country, and one of the candidates is the fucking AG who did this.

Like, is it true-true that the press is very much controlled here?

Like the RJ, Noble Brigham. I talked to him. He was all over the story. Then just not. Said {D} wasn’t that important. I’ve seen Noble write stories about way less important people and things through the years. The funny thing is every fucking time I email him, he somehow has some weird or off interview with Wolfson. Wolfson’s statement that he had the bankroll for his reelection and anyone thinking about running against him should think twice? Day after I emailed Noble and said that I could not wait to see who was running against him because I was their new best friend.

I’ve done it a couple more times. Every time there is a Wolfson-involved story.

Fucking Ralston, I don’t know what that is. But I dabbled, and we will see what ripple might happen.

But I can’t get a story to run in Vermont either. I talked to the Digger, and he was a little standofish because—and this is what I didn’t think of—he said he would have to call the AG’s office and ask them for comment. {D} was still there at the time I talked to him. So he was concerned about being the conduit by which they got the information at the AG. I understood that. He told me to let him know when the disbarment happened, and of course it hasn’t. He did interview Pieciak and ask him about the situation. And Pieciak smoothly avoided that question. He was speaking politician that day.

Anyways, hopefully LawyerBoy will get back to me after he talks to the partners tomorrow. Hopefully there will be insight, and hopefully the ethical and moral questions can be answered for me.
