Complaint Review: Key Bank

I attest that I am not an employee, agent, partner or affiliate of Key Bank in any way whatsoever.

Today is August 28, 2002.

Key Bank sued me for fraud three times in Bankruptcy Court.

Key Bank's law firm, Brown Berardini & Dunning (Denver) alleged I committed multiple counts of fraud and misrepresentation on corporate books and my personal financial statement in the course of procuring loans for my corporation in December 2000.

(I did not commit fraud. My personal Financial Statement was hand written by my banker and has a rediculous entry of a $500,000 note owed to me by a start-up venture, banking at Key Bank, with less than $5,000 in its account at the time the statement was generated.)

Of the three complaints filed, none provided substantiation for the allegations. Only copies of loan documents, my personal financial statement and a portion of the corporation's books were included. No explanation of what the fraud was and how it was committed which is required in a fraud suit.

The U.S. Trustee's office and Federal Court in Denver were not deterred from allowing the suit to continue despite the lack of required evidence and denied my motion for dismissal.

Prior to the filing of the third complaint, Key Bank and Brown Berardini & Dunning were made aware of fraudulent lending activity on behalf of the loan officer for my corporation. The news came from another company in bankruptcy who had the same loan officer, same corporate Trustee and same personal Trustee as I did. The evidence against the loan officer was irrefutable. This did not stop Key Bank and BBD from filing the third complaint against me.

I did not settle despite countless attempts and intimidation on behalf of BBD and Key Bank. Key Bank withdrew their complaint with prejudice on the last day possible when it would be necessary for me to file a final response.

I have since discovered a number of other companies in Boulder who banked with the same loan officer. We all have evidence that that loan officer adjusted figures on our applications to help up gain approval of our loans.

1. Did the Trustee deliberately aid Key Bank while hiding behind his sovereign immunity?
2. Did the Courts and Office of The U.S. Trustee turn a blind eye to this knowingly?
3. Is there a deeper conspiracy at Key Bank involving underwriters, accountants, other banks and law firms, asset liquidation and foreclosures?
4. Is the Denver Bankruptcy Court and attending bevy of lawyers of which it is comprised corrupt?

The purpose of this report is to generate a forum for those of us seeking justice. Please do not reply with suppositions or editorials. Only facts.

If you have had a similar experience with Key Bank or the Denver Courts, don't hold back. There is strength in numbers, and our strength is growing.
