Complaint Review: STEVEN GREYSON (FAKE FREEDOMWORKS LEGAL FOUNDATIONFAKE MEDIATORFAKE DOCUMENT SPECIALIST) - Beverly Hills California

All of you who have been scammed by Steven R. Grayson you should file a complaint with the FTC and the Attorney General of the State of California.

Steven Grayson tells people in his Craigslist ad that he won a case against the US Attorney on appeal before the 9th Circuit. 

This is what Steven says on his Craigslist ad - 

AFTER MY TRAINING, I FILED A FEDERAL LAWSUIT AGAINST FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND I PROSECUTED MY CASE IN FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT IN ARIZONA. I PREPARED ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS MYSELF AND GAVE MY ORAL ARGUMENT BEFORE THE CHIEF FEDERAL JUDGE. I WON THE CASE, BUT THE GOVERNMENT APPEALED THE CASE TO THE 9TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. 

I PREPARED MY LEGAL DOCUMENTS MYSELF, AND I GAVE MY ORAL ARGUMENT WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF AN ATTORNEY, IN FRONT OF THE CHIEF JUDGE OF THE 9TH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS, ALEX KOZINSKI, WHO SAID "I WAS BETTER THAN MOST ATTORNEYS WHO CAME BEFORE HIM". OBVIOUSLY, A HUGE COMPLIMENT FROM A FEDERAL JUDGE!

I WON THE APPEAL IN SPITE OF 2 ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS WHO REPRESENTED THE DEFENDANT WITH MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE THAN I HAD.

Steven Grayson is lying!  He Lost!!!

Here’s the case -

Last paragraph of opinion - 

When prison officials have legitimate administrative authority, such as the discretion to move inmates from prison to prison or from cell to cell, the Due Process Clause imposes few restrictions on the use of that authority, regardless of any additional motives which are claimed to exist.5  It doesn't matter what label is placed on the action or what other reasons may be behind it; nor is it relevant that the conditions of confinement may become less pleasant as a result. We must allow prison officials the freedom to exercise their administrative authority without judicial oversight. Some administrative actions will inevitably make prisoners feel cheated; nevertheless, this does not give them a federal cause of action. See Fano, 427 U.S. at 225, 96 S. Ct. at 2538.Conclusion

We affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment.

AFFIRMED.  <— This proves that Steven lost.  He did not win.

If you relied on Steven’s representation that he WON his case as a basis for hiring him and he did not perform - or took your money and then ignored you - then I suggest you file a report with the State of California and the FTC.

In the Matter of

 

STEVEN R. GRAYSON     

 

 

INITIAL DECISION

.

-----------------

 

APPEARANCES:      

 

Ronald K. Stifrin and Mitchell J. Albert,

of the Los Angeles Regional Office of the commission, for the Division of Enforcement.

 

 

Steven R. Grayson, pro se.

 

 

 

 

BEFORE:  Warren E. Blair, Chief Administrative Law Judge

..

 

These public proceedings were instituted by order of the Commission dated July 12, 1983 ("Order") issued pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act

of 1934 ("Exchange Act") to determine whether allegations made by the Division of Enforcement ("Division") against the respondent, Steven R. Grayson ("Grayson"), were true and what,

if any, remedial action would be appropriate in the public

1/

interest.

In substance, the Division alleged that Grayson was convicted on October 25, 1982 by the United States District Court for the Central District of California on two counts

of mail fraud and one count of securities fraud in connection with the offer and sale of municipal bonds.    Additionally, the Division alleged that on November 3, 1982 the United States District Court for the Central District of California permanently enjoined Grayson from further violations of Section !0(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule l0b-5 thereunder and Sections 17(a)(l) and 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act

of 1933 ("Securities Act").

In a letter dated July 25, 1983, which was deemed

 represented by counsel.After being advised of his rights at the outset of the hearing held on August 23, 1983 Grayson affirmed that he wished to proceed without counsel.

As part of the post-hearing procedures, successive filings of proposed findings, conclusions, and supporting briefs were specified.  Timely filings thereof were made by the parties.

The findings and conclusions herein are based upon the preponderance of the evidence as determined from the record and upon observation of the witness.

 

Respondent

From about 1973 to May, 1979, Grayson was a municipal bond salesman with MuniciCorp of California ( "MuniciCorp"),. a Los Angeles broker-dealer engaged in the sale of municipal securities funds.         About May, 1979 Grayson left MuniciCorp for Gibralco, Inc. ("Gibralco"), a California broker-dealer selling municipal bonds, where he was employed as a muni­ cipal bond salesman until on or about January 4, 1982.

While with each of those firms, Grayson was responsible for placing and carrying out orders for the purchase and sale of municipal bonds and for ensuring the proper handling

and safekeeping of bonds and money on behalf of the firms' customers.

 Criminal Conviction

On October 25, 1982 the United States District Court for the Central District of California, upon Grayson's plea of

3/

"Guilty," convicted Grayson on two counts of mail fraud and

 one count of securities fraud in violation of Sections 17(a)

4/

and 24 of the Securities Act. Grayson was thereupon sentenced

to serve two three-year periods of imprisonment concurrently on the two counts of mail fraud and on.the other count given five-s/

years probation with imposition of sentence suspended.- At

the time of the hearing in these proceedings, Grayson was still serving time at a federal prison camp.

 

Permanent Injunction

As a result of a complaint filed by the Commission against Grayson, a permanent injunction was entered on November 3, 1982 by the United States District Court for the Central District of California enjoining him from engaging in acts and practices in violation of Section lO(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule lOb-5 thereunder and Sections 17( )(1)

and (2) of the Securities Act in connection with the purchase or sale of municipal bonds or any other securities.  The permanent injunction remains in effect.

Public Interest

Having found that Grayson had been convicted on October 25, 1982 for felonies involving mail fraud and securities fraud and had been permanently enjoined from engaging in certain conduct and practices in connection with the offer and sale of securities, it is necessary to consider the remedial action appropriate in the public interest.

Underlying the felony convictions and the permanent injunction were Grayson's fraudulent actions through which he unlawfully converted to his own use around $400,000

belonging to ten or more customers of MuniciCorp and

7/

Gibralco.-  Grayson accomplished his ends primarily by

retaining and converting to his own use proceeds from sales of municipal bonds which customers had entrusted

to him for the purpose of exchange into new bonds carrying higher interests rates. After gaining possession of

Grayson admitted that the losses to customers were about $400,000.          The Division's contention that the losses totaled between $779,000 and $1,500,000 is not supported by the record.

 customers' bonds, Grayson concealed his fraud by deceptive acts and practices designed to lull customers into believing he was continuing to act in their best interests.    His lulling tactics included false representations that·lengthy delays

,         would be involved in obtaining suitable new bonds, delivery

of some new higher-yielding bonds to customers but in dollar amounts far smaller than those obtained from his victims, delivery to customers of checks purportedly representing interest on bonds he had sold, and assurances that customers'

old bonds were being held in safekeeping for them at his brokerage firm.

Pointing to the long duration and elaborate techniques used to carry out the egregious fraud committed by Grayson, the Division insists that only a bar from association with

a broker or dealer can prevent Grayson from "once again lining

his pockets with funds and securities of investors."

Grayson concedes that he violated "SEC rules and regulations

and committed fraudulent acts to which he pled guilty." However, he believes that when mitigating factors are taken into account he should not be barred or, if a bar is imposed, it should terminate upon the expiration of his incarcerationand term of probation.

Grayson's Response to Division's Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, November 8, 1983, at 6.

 

-        6 -

In mitigation of his offenses, Grayson urges that consideration be given to the fact that he suffers from a "Compulsive Gambling" disease which is now recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, and that prior to

his incarceration he had sought help for his problem through the Gamblers Anonymous program and from a psychiatrist in Los Angeles.  He also refers to the severe punishment he  has received for his misdeeds, citing his present incar­ ceration and the loss of his business, reputation, money

and marriage. He further states that he is deeply remorseful for his misconduct and that he recognizes the "roots of

his transgressions and because of this knows he will never

10/

violate the law again."

Upon careful consideration of the record and the arguments and contentions of the parties, it is concluded that in the public interest, Grayson should be barred from association with any broker or dealer.Assuming, without deciding, that Grayson had a mental disease which led him to be a compulsive gambler is of no help to him in determination of the appropriate remedial action to protect public investors, for the record has insufficient evidence to establish whether the disease has been cured or is merely in remission through the

force of his present circumstances. To allow him to return to the securities business without a strong showing that he no longer poses a threat to the public interest would be

an imposition of an undue risk upon the investing public. In view of the danger of a repetition of his misconduct, it does not appear possible at this time to specify a time limit for the bar that is being imposed upon Grayson.

Re-entry into the securities business must necessarily await a showing over a period of time that he is again worthy of being trusted, and his present expressions

of remorse for his misconduct and regrets over his losses

 

of money, reputation, family, and ,friends cannot substitute 

for that showing.As argued by the Division, the conclusion based on this record must be that Grayson is simply

not suited for the securities business.

  

"A determination that future securities activities by [a sal·esman] would be consistent with the public interest should be made on the basis of a showing of .the nature of the proposed activity and the conduct of the s.a.1esman in question prior to and subsequent to the

mis­conduct here found."

Here is PROOF that this man was fined by the SEC for FRAUD in 1983......in FEDERAL court,mind you.

Its just sad that this man has nothing better to do than drink his troubles away with his victims money.

A DEFAULT JUDGEMENT was entered against STEVEN "ROBERT" GREYSON on 1/26/2018 at the SANTA MONICA COURTHOUSE of LOS ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT.

(court documents attached below)

It's good to see so many people taking a stand against this awful man who prays on innocent victims.

He sleeps all day.  All day!  He goes to Islands on Pico at night and, like a spider, traps someone in need of help.

Steven was convicted of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from innocent victimes when he worked in a Muni Bond company.

He was sent to prison, which is where he learned his meager "legal writing" skills.  He did argue his appeal on his own, but he lost.

Run from this man.
