It’s been another big estate news day.  Note the article posted about how the Nina Wang estate looting trial has harmed credibility within Hong Kong’s formerly revered feng shui community.  We find this an interesting example of using a guise of respectability for abusive purposes.  Feng shui “master” Tony Chan Chun-chuen’s conduct is no different from people using social prominence, community visibility, professional stature, religious trappings, political affiliations or other social conventions once associated with high character yet today serving as a networking foundation to identify potential targets for Involuntary Redistribution of Assets (IRA) efforts or other bad acts.  Remember one of our favorite columns Where the Looters and the Poachers Stalk Prey:  Guarding Your Estate in the 21st Century.

EoD has obtained a copy of the letter that former Astor butler Christopher Ely sent to Supreme Court Justice Kirke Bartley regarding Monday’s sentencing of Anthony Marshall.  We’ll have comments on that tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we’ve come across a blog called NY Courts-New York Court Corruption.  This blog is the creation of advocate/writer/editor/researcher Betsy Combier who describes herself as “a person who cares about people and wants to help resolve problems.”  The blog is described as follows:

The information on this blog about the corruption in the New York Unified Court System will disgust and frighten you and propel you into a world of racketeering, greed, larceny, malicious prosecution, and outrageous disdain for due process, the Rule of Law, the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Professional Responsibility Standards, Rules and Statutes.

Speak up and protest.  Along with aggressive public education, EstateofDenial.com certainly believes strong, visible, credible exposure of estate abuse and the often accompanying legal industry corruption is required.  New York Court Corruption details Combier’s 11-year dispute with the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, the New York City Presbytery and numerous judges and courts in New York state.  The site also provides some good informative links to other legal-oriented sites.  We think you’ll find it an interesting read.
