REGISTERED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Edward Manfredonia 8337 St. James Avenue Apt. 4B Elmhurst, New York 11373 4 September 2003 The Honorable Wayne Easter Solicitor General 340 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario CANADA K1AOP8 Dear Sir: I am writing to you concerning the criminal activity of Robert J Van Caneghan (Robert VanCaneghan), a resident of the United States and a Director of Energy Exploration Technologies, A Canadian Company, and the dubious business enterprises of Scott Schrammar, the Secretary of Energy Exploration Technologies. Energy Exploration Technologies (NXT) is traded over the counter listed company (ENXT) on the NASD Bulletin Board, a notorious cover for many stock frauds and companies engaged in illegal conduct. The company's address is: Energy Exploration Technologies 840 7th Avenue, S.W. Suite 700 Calgary, Alberta T2P 3G2 My credentials for exposing crime on Wall Street include being the progenitor of the 26 April 1999 Business Week cover story, Scandal On Wall Street, which exposed crime at the American Stock Exchange. (A copy has been included for your perusal.) I no longer speak to Gary Weiss, the author of this article, because in a subsequent story, A Message From The Mob, Weiss lied and attributed the murders of Al Chalem and Maier Lehmann to the Italian Mafia when he knew that the Russian Mob had perpetrated these murders. Weiss lied so that he could have a book on the Mafia and Wall Street published. 60 Minutes had promised to have Weiss appear on 60 Minutes if Weiss were to write a book about the Mafia and Wall Street. In 1993 I was wired by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, specifically by FBI Agent Joseph Yastremski, who was investigating a stock fraud, PNF, in which Robert J Van Caneghan was deeply involved. The stock fraud, PNF, was a successor to the wildly successful stock fraud, Greyhound Electronics, which had been manipulated by Al Avasso, a Mafia Associate (Italian Mafia). Al Avasso, owned 2 million shares of Greyhound stock under his wife's maiden name (Rita). This resulted in an illegal tax-free earning of $23 million, which sum Heinz Grein laundered into a Luxembourg account. Robert J Van Caneghan (Robert VanCaneghan), a member of the Board of the American Stock Exchange, and his partner Louis Miceli, a former member of the Board of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), conspired with Al Avasso to have this stock fraud listed on the American Stock Exchange. Avasso and Van Caneghan arranged, with bribes paid to Steven Lister, Senior Vice President of Compliance at the AMEX, that the eponymous specialist firm of Miceli-Van Caneghan (intentionally misspelled in the Energy Exploration Technologies website as Micili-Van Caneghan) would serve as the specialist in the stock of PNF and that Robert J Van Caneghan and Louis Miceli would manipulate the market in PNF. This stock fraud was exposed in The Wall Street Journal in July 1992, but Peter Kann, Publisher of The Wall Street Journal, ordered that no further installments on the criminal activity of Robert Van Caneghan and Louis Miceli appear in The Wall Street Journal. So powerful is Wall Street that even The Wall Street Journal backed off from exposing a serial rapist. Upon investigation the FBI discovered that Louis Miceli was involved in the smuggling of narcotics aboard his boat, The Jaded Lady, and that Robert J Van Caneghan and Louis Miceli were laundering drug money through their broker dealer and specialist firm, Miceli-Van Caneghan (Micili-Van Caneghan; also spelled Miceli-VanCaneghan). I provided FBI Agent Joseph Yastremski with the name of the tax attorney who set up these illegal accounts and assisted in laundering the drug money. This same tax attorney assisted Robert Van Caneghan and Louis Miceli in tax fraud, when the specialist firm of Miceli-Van Caneghan (Micili-Van Caneghan; Miceli-VanCaneghan) was audited circa 1991. FBI Agent Joseph Yastremski requested my assistance in this investigation of money laundering and narcotics smuggling and I readily consented. The investigation was dropped at the insistence of Arthur Levitt, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and former Chairman of the American Stock Exchange. As a form of payoff to Mary Jo White, United States Attorney for the Southern District of the State of New York, the former law firm of Mary Jo White, Debevoise and Plimpton, was appointed counsel to the American Stock Exchange and White's former partner, Bevis Longstreth, was appointed to the Board of the American Stock Exchange. (See Note 1) Please note that something even more sinister has occurred. Robert J Van Caneghan (Robert VanCaneghan) is a confessed serial rapist. Robert Van Caneghan admitted to the Board of the American Stock Exchange, including such luminaries as Paul Volcker, Richard Syron, John Hatsopoulos, etc. that he (Robert Van Caneghan) had sexually assaulted/raped his female employees. That this is known to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to the Department of Justice is irrefutable. When Assistant United States Attorney Frances Fragos interviewed me on 13 September 1993, I stated that my reason for voluntarily contacting the FBI about crime at the American Stock Exchange was that Robert Van Caneghan (Robert VanCaneghan) had sexually assaulted/raped his clerks. After my interview with Ms. Fragos on 13 September 1993, I met Jeff Green, who was involved in the insider trading of Motel 6. Green informed me that Robert Van Caneghan had admitted to Joel Lovett, Vice Chairman of the American Stock Exchange; James Jones, a former Congressman and at that time Chairman of the American Stock Exchange; and other members of the Board of the American Stock Exchange, that he, Robert J Van Caneghan, had sexually assaulted/raped his female employees. I informed Assistant United States Attorney Frances Fragos of Green's statements and AUSA Fragos knew that these statements were true. As a member of the American Stock Exchange I frequently heard Robert J Van Caneghan boast of his admiration for two serial rapists, Carryl Chessman and Ted Bundy, both of whom were executed for their crimes against women. Robert J Van Caneghan frequently spoke of his fascination with bondage and rape. Furthermore, Robert J Van Caneghan (Robert VanCaneghan) travels to countries, such as Thailand and India, where he can torture women and have sex with pre-teen young girls. My information concerning Scott Schrammar is not as damning as my information concerning Robert Van Caneghan. When I was a member of the American Stock Exchange, Scott Schrammar, a close friend and law school associate of Robert J Van Caneghan, informed me that Louis Miceli, a partner of Robert Van Caneghan, was smuggling drugs aboard his boat, The Jaded Lady. (Robert J Van Caneghan later confirmed this.) Thus Scott Schrammar knew of narcotics smuggling at the American Stock Exchange. Furthermore, Scott Schrammar is involved in a charity, American Foundation for Disabled Children, which can only be described as a scam. Upon his forced retirement from the American Stock Exchange, Scott Schrammar set up a foundation, American Foundation for Disabled Children. The true beneficiary of this alleged charity is Scott Schrammar, who received remuneration in excess of $250,000 per annum. Of $2,332,833 received in donations in the period 7/00 to 6/30/01, $2,217,330 was for administrative expenses. Only $229,311 was distributed to the alleged beneficiaries. Scott Schrammar's salary exceeded the sum distributed to needy children. I am therefore requesting that the Government of Canada initiate a full-scale investigation to determine if Energy Exploration Technologies is involved in any illegal activities including money laundering or stock fraud. I am also requesting that the government of Canada determine if the Italian Mafia, via Robert Van Caneghan's Mafia connections, has any role in this company. Should you doubt my veracity, please visit my website, WallStreetScandals.com, for more information- including the section, FBI. Please read in Part II, my letters to Janet Reno, dated 15 April 1999, and to Judge Richard Casey, dated 9 December 2001, for more information. I thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,   Edward Manfredonia   Note 1: That payoffs are made to prominent prosecutors is not news. Joseph Lomuscio, my maternal uncle, was one of the progenitors of the Salad Oil Swindle, which at the time (circa 1962) was the largest commodities swindle ever in the United States. Joseph Lomuscio pleaded guilty to falsifying the records of the quantity of soybean oil held in oil storage tanks in Bayonne, New Jersey. Tino D'Angelis was the mastermind of the illegal scheme, but it could not have been accomplished without the assistance of Joseph Lomuscio, who forged the warehouse receipts for the fictitious soybean oil. Joseph Lomuscio did not serve a prison term for this fraudulent scheme, which led to the collapse of Ira Haupt, the fourth largest brokerage firm in the United States. Joseph Lomuscio bribed a federal judge to receive this preferential treatment. The Bagman for this bribe was Nelson Gross, who later became a United States Senator from New Jersey. (Cf. The Great Salad Oil Swindle by Norman C. Miller.) Another instance of illegal payoffs is that of Mr. Beal (spelling approximate) who was the father of my childhood friend, Robert Beal. Mr. Beal was a member of the Italian Mafia, who was a major figure in illegal gambling in New York City. (To his credit Mr. Beal despised drugs and the individuals who sold them.) Mr. Beal regularly paid off Frank Hogan, the District Attorney of the County of New York. Mr. Beal spoke to me and stated that Frank Hogan, who at the time was on the Board of Columbia University, was a close friend and that he had many business dealings with him. Specifically, Mr. Beal stated that Frank Hogan permitted him to operate in Manhattan (either Harlem or East Harlem if my memory is correct). Mr. Beal described Frank Hogan as his business partner. Note 2: The current Manhattan District Attorney, Robert Morgenthau, is worse than Frank Hogan. Instead of protecting gamblers, Morgenthau extends his protection to the millionaires of Wall Street, thereby protecting serial rapists, narcotics smugglers, money launderers, etc. In 1996 to protect criminal activity at the American Stock Exchange, one of Morgenthau's corrupt Assistant District Attorney's, Tom Wornom, picked me up as a favor to the American Stock Exchange. This was done without a signed complaint- a violation of the law. After my interview with Wornom, Wornom telephoned the American Stock Exchange and stated that "Manfredonia had never talked to the women (victims of Van Caneghan's sexual assaults/rapes) and no penetration occurred." This was a lie, but was repeated by Richard Syron, Chairman of the AMEX; Joel Lovett, Vice Chairman of the AMEX; Edwin Crooks, a member of the AMEX Board; Joseph Palmeri, a member of the AMEX Board; and other members of the AMEX Board. Wornom merely misunderstood my evasive answers, answers, which were evasive because I had been informed that Morgenthau was in thrall to the AMEX. The quote of Joel Lovett and Edwin Crooks was: "The AMEX didn't even have to pay Morgenthau for picking up Manfredonia. He did it as a favor to the AMEX." Morgenthau permitted the Russian Mob to take over Harbor Securities- and this resulted in the murders of Al Chalem and Maier Lehmann, as well as the bankruptcy of Harbor Securities. I was picked up at the behest of Joel Lovett, a principal in Harbor Securities, whose son, Evan Lovett, who was involved with criminals as well as the Russian Mob in Harbor Securities. When Joseph Giamanco was portrayed in the Business Week article as illegally trading stocks in which he was the specialist, Giamanco immediately hired Morgenthau's son in law, Paul T. Grand, to receive favorable treatment. It is widely known in New York City that if you hire Paul T. Grand, stock fraud artists and Wall Street criminals are not indicted, or if the stock fraud perpetrator is indicted because of overwhelming evidence, the stock fraud mastermind does not receive a prison sentence. Morgenthau also displays preferential treatment to his friends and members of the exclusive Westchester clubs to which he belongs. Thus, Bear Sterns was never indicted for its role in the A. R. Baron stock fraud case because of Morgenthau's friendship with James Cayne and Alan Greenberg, the principals of Bear Sterns. Arthur Levitt, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the same exclusive clubs, refused to investigate Bear Sterns and in the case of Morgenthau, refused to indict Bear Sterns for knowingly permitting excessive mark-ups and fraud in the A. R. Baron case. Records obtained by the Manhattan District Attorney and the Securities and Exchange Commission proved that Bear Sterns knew of the stock frauds and excessive mark-ups in commissions- the excessive commissions were displayed in the daily sheets, which Bear Sterns as clearing agent for A. R. Baron provided to A. R. Baron. The Sulzbergers, publishers of The New York Times, refused to run this story because of the Sulzbergers' friendship with Morgenthau, Levitt, Cayne, Greenberg, etc. and the fact that all belonged to the same exclusive clubs. These clubs would not admit many very wealthy individuals because of certain requirements. Note 3: The bias in federal courts against exposure of criminal conduct by the Federal Bureau of Investigation can be even more devastating. In my court case, which was filed by my attorney, Michael Bressler, against the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and the New York City Police Department (NYPD), a federal magistrate, Andrew Peck, proudly proclaimed his bias against me. In October 2000 the NYPD transferred Inspector O'Hare and his lieutenants for having me illegally followed and harassed at the behest of the American Stock Exchange. This was done under orders from the Office of the Mayor. The American Stock Exchange also hired private investigators to illegally follow me. (I have photographs, license plate numbers, etc. of some individuals who followed me.) Peck permitted the AMEX and its representatives to lie in court and to state that the AMEX never telephoned the police to have me followed and the AMEX never hired private investigators to illegally follow me. Peck thus willingly and knowingly permitted perjury in federal court. From the beginning Peck less than a bushel stated that the records would be destroyed. Peck stated that without the records we could prove nothing. I countered that there would be records: billings; records of the security firms, which illegally followed me; etc., but Peck did not care. Peck was willing to permit perjury to further his ambition to become a federal judge. Of particular importance is the fact that Peck knew that I had been wired by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in particular by FBI Agent Joseph Yastremski, a graduate of Columbia University, and that the FBI was covering up serial rape, two murders, money laundering, stock fraud, narcotics smuggling, and a host of financial crimes, including massive criminal activity by Goldman Sachs. Peck proudly stated that he did not wish my FBI files to be displayed upon my website. Note 4: Even the press can be bribed. After the appearance of the article, Scandal On Wall Street, the American Stock Exchange and Business Week reached an agreement, whereby the AMEX would construct a broadcast stage and Business Week would broadcast business news several times a day from the AMEX. Of course, no articles critical of the AMEX ever appeared in Business Week. Business Week did not wish the Securities and Exchange Commission to appear totally incompetent, so Business Week neglected to mention that I possess a BA and an MBA. When everything is considered, this is far worse than Enron, Global Crossing, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen, etc. This is the corruption of the entire federal government. I have been told by sources at the Department of Justice that if the extent of corruption in the City of New York were known, New York City would be a wasteland.
