Bankruptcy Abuse & Civil Rights Crisis: A Call for Justice in Florida’s Courts

This site shines a light on alleged civil rights abuses, fraud, and legal manipulation within Florida’s bankruptcy and civil court systems, focusing on actions by judges and attorneys that have disregarded justice and due process. It outlines a shocking case of a court allowing legal harassment, targeted abuse, and misuse of the law— continues to impact Faith Antonio and her family’s Civil Rights, safety, and well-being.

Faith is a current hate crime victim in the state of Florida who has been targeted by over a dozen attorneys and two judges who accepted bribes and assisted in an attempt to build a case in a fabricated embezzlement scheme that could have landed her facing 30 years for a crime she could have never committed. Faith and her family has been dealing with this for over four years and the judges are sitting on the cases in an attempt to obstruct justice and conceal their crimes committed against me and my family. No judge had jurisdiction over me and Fed Bankruptcy Judge Catherine Peek McEwen admitted to this several times on the record.

Faith alleges that her ex-boyfriend, his CPA, and attorney falsified financial documents and accused her of embezzlement. This is a state court lawsuit involving state tort claims that was directly filed in the bankruptcy court with NO Oversight of an ARTICLE III Judge as required by CONGRESS. Judge McEwen does not believe the Law of the Land applies to her. She does not respect the rule of law or the rights of the citizens in this country. There are multiple allegations of theft and RICO by this Court, including by Michael Kim and Amen Bey. 

Judge McEwen is daughter of Scott Irving Peek, who worked in Sen George Smather’s administration and is a long-time family friend. If you are aware of the history of Smathers, he voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, called Brown v. Board, a “judicial abuse of power,” and offered to pay MLK’s bail, if he would leave the State of Florida. The Peek family has continued this push to segregate Florida, strip us of our rights, and commit egregious crimes under the guise of court proceedings. 
 

Through this site, Faith Antonio, located in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, is a domestic violence survivor, reveals how bankruptcy and state courts participated in clear evidence of fraud, racketeering, theft, and collusion, that allowed a court system to be weaponized, and failed to protect her rights. She also exposes failures by the Department of Justice (DOJ) attorneys to investigate or report these violations, effectively enabling the continuation of legal and financial harassment.

"For years, I believed that the courts were where I could find safety, fairness, and truth. Yet, what I found was betrayal. Judges, attorneys, and those in power used their positions not to uphold justice, but to wield it as a weapon. Imagine the person who once threatened your life being given tools by the legal system to continue that torment—this is the reality for countless survivors, disabled individuals, and vulnerable people across the country."
--Faith Antonio

The DOJ, IRS, and SSA was absent from this public lynching masked as a court proceeding.

A Timeline of Evidence, Abuse, and Fraud

Geberth paid off “expert witness” Brad Kanter, made unusual, and repeat large withdrawals of cash during the pendency of the case just] just like he promised to “file a civil suit.. have (Faith) thrown in jail… playing fucking hardball,” guaranteeing to “fuck her over.”

Faith’s Closing Argument Brief filed in the proceeding thoroughly covers the bankruptcy fraud, collusion, tax fraud, and other crimes committed against her, citing to the evidence that sits on the record, in an action that involved over a dozen legal professionals, including three attorneys from the Region 21 U.S. Trustee’s Program, Steven Pralle, Nicole Peair, and J. Steven Wilkes and the Chief Bankruptcy Judge Caryl Delano. [App. 8 p 83 (doc 82), App. 20 p 382 (doc 105)].

When DOJ Attorneys and Courts Protect the Abusers: Fraud Ignored in Florida

Judge Catherine Peek McEwen admitted multiple times, including on December 7, 2020, and May 24, 2021, that she lacked jurisdiction over the adversary proceeding, yet she permitted Plaintiff to continued litigating, in violation of 28 U.S.C. § 1334, and to the detriment of Petitioner’s health, who never consented to her jurisdiction. [App. 8, p 62-63]. Petitioner contacted numerous attorneys, all refused to involve themselves or requested tens of thousands of dollars in retainers. [232D-258 AB p 10]

With full knowledge that Judge Kimberly Sharpe Byrd had never ruled on jurisdiction and venue, attorneys from the Solomon Law Group and McGuire-Megna Law (formerly McGuire Law Group) engaged in judge shopping by bringing the stayed action into the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, under Judge Catherine Peek McEwen. [App. 8, p 56, App. 16, p 209]

DECEMBER 7 2020 TRANSCRIPT           MAY 24 2021 TRANSCRIPT

Instead of investigating and prosecuting the criminals, the court decided to protect the criminal and target an entire innocent family, violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, (Pub. L. No. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241 (1964)), and stripping Faith and her family of every constitutionally afforded right and continues to do so by its inaction. The hope for the integrity of the judicial system is lost.

John Seigenthaler Oral History Interview – JFK #2, 2/21/1966

Haugerud explained that a distinct Speakers Bureau was being established, featuring only Southern speakers, with coordination and financing managed independently by Senator George Smathers’ office.  It seems that they were planning to operate a shadow government that would require the thirteen Southern states to contact the Carroll Arms Hotel, which would handle everything. Haugerud was troubled by this “empire building” …. The two men who were on Smather’s staff, Scott I. Peek and Bud Lucky, were masterminding this operation. 

George A. Smathers was one of 101 politicians who signed the Southern Manifesto, a document condemning the racial integration of schools following Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. (George A. Smathers Libraries). He called the Brown v. Board of Education decision a “clear abuse of judicial power.“

Nancy Peek McGowan: Nov 2016: Voters Must Ensure Constitutional Republic by Electing Trump  “It is time to elect an outsider, a successful businessman who does not want anyone’s money, especially money from special interests in Washington, D.C. Americans’ priorities must come first, not those of the ruling class in both parties… The future of the judicial branch will be determined in this election. Do we want more rulings from the Supreme Court which violate state’s rights, religious liberty, and the will of the voters regarding abortion, and the authentic definition of marriage?
