Richard Luthmann and I were back for The Unknown Episode 24. We did current events, an update on Paul Boyne, and we talked about WhattheHale$ starting at approximately twenty-one minutes.
Mr. Luthmann also updated on a lawsuit he’s currently involved in New York with a former client who refused to pay.
Beyond the allegations involving Felici, Hanks and Love face accusations of corruption related to their political operations. Richard Luthmann, a journalist and Hanks' former family and election lawyer, has filed a lawsuit against them. He accuses them of unpaid fees and unethical conduct and seeks hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Luthmann’s case, pending in Manhattan Supreme Court, raises questions about judicial interference. The case was recently and controversially reassigned from Justice Louis Nock to Justice Kathleen Waterman-Marshall.
The problem, as Mr. Luthmann explained, is that he has done several stories on Judge Waterman-Marshall. Below is part of one.
Furthermore, as a family court judge, she made for a curious pick to preside over this civil complaint.
Luthmann says this case can't proceed before Justice Waterman-Marshall because the appearance of impropriety is too great.
He also believes the administrative transfer didn't happen by accident. Luthmann alleges Hanks, Love, and their co-conspirators corruptly orchestrated the case's move to Justice Waterman-Marshall's court.
“The fix is in,” Luthmann claimed. “Someone got paid off, and all signs point to Kevin Barry Love as the bag man, in my opinion. They know they are dead if they sit for depositions. They already admitted terrible things in filed court documents.”
Further fueling the controversy, Luthmann has submitted evidence to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York since Trump's Inauguration. The evidence reportedly implicates Hanks, Love, and other political figures, including Justice Ronald Castorina, Jr., and Special Staten Island District Attorney Eric Nelson, in public corruption schemes.
It appears the powers that be in the New York judiciary took notice as well, because days after the broadcast, the case was moved out of Judge Waterman-Marshall’s court.
I’m glad that was straightened out.
