Re:       Case #785226 – The People of the State of California vs. C. Palmieri Enterprises, Inc., et al

Dear Judge ……..

I recently received a letter from C.J. Palmieri, which was an apparent plea to myself and the other investors to write letters on his behalf. On Mr. Palmieri’s suggestion, I have decided to write to you and ask that you take this letter into consideration in dealing with the Palmieri case.

Mr. Palmieri’s letter clearly shows he has not accepted responsibility for his crime. Throughout the letter he consistently shifts the blame for this situation to the courts and authorities. Not once does he offer an apology for victimizing us and even dares to claim we are being led by vengefulness and spitefulness! I am a forgiving person, but one has to accept responsibility for his wrongdoing and demonstrate that he understands what he did wrong and why it was wrong. Mr. Palmieri has not done any of that. On the contrary, he continues to play his game.

Mr. Palmieri says he deeply regrets the “inconvenience” that we have been put through. I am sorry, but the $..... amount of money that has been stolen from my retirement fund is quite more than a mere inconvenience! Atrocity may describe what I’m feeling more accurately.

I do believe Mr. Palmieri when he says he wants to see this resolved “now”, as any jailed criminal strives to “resolve” his undesirable situation behind bars. I don’t believe any of the other investors would be foolish enough to fall for this attempted trickery, but I ask you to make sure his continued demonstration of con-artist skill does not affect the judicial process being carried out. It’s unbelievable to me that someone would be bold enough to try pulling another scam in the situation that he is in.

Mr. Palmieri’s effort to see us “made whole again” is very obviously a ploy for him to get light sentencing. He apparently believes that if we were foolish enough to fall for his “investments” in the first place, we must be stupid enough to fall for his lies now. We have learned from our mistakes, Mr. Palmieri, something you have yet to do. There is a “harsh reality” to this, as Mr. Palmieri states, but that reality is that we will probably never regain all of the money lost. Now with the money gone, do we let the thief giggle his way out of jail, only to go back to his “resources” to scam another victim?

The nature of this man’s communication with us was shameful enough, but he even dared to throw insults into the letter. “What a country!”, he states, in his disgust with the legal system. He should be thankful he lives in a country where thieves don’t lose their hands as punishment for their thievery. I find it absolutely appalling that such a criminal dirtbag would attempt to taint the image of our great country with his pathetic blasphemy! He says, “I know God is guiding me in this,” and with that I agree. God is guiding him toward the reality of justice and repentance for his wrongdoings, something he is desperately trying to weasel out of to the very last minute. Some people make mistakes and immediately come to terms with their actions. For those, light sentences are appropriate. We cannot, however, become confused with an isolated mistake and a scheming victimizer.

Please consider this letter a formal request that this criminal be sentenced to the maximum extent of the law. Anything less will be a victory for crime and a defeat of justice.

Sincerely,

Ludmila Loisy
