<h2>eleven Years On Doubts Cast on Fair Trial</h2>
following a Conversation About Why I Believed the Conviction Was Wrongful I Prepared a Memo for an Influential Publisher on the Jerry Sandusky Case

here is My Memo
<h3>million dollar Stories Repressed Memories or Coached Testimonies</h3>
thank You for Reviewing and Offering to Present the Following Summary to Your Investigative Team

like Many Others I Thought Justice Was Served in 2012 Only to Become Convinced 11 Years After Jerry Sandusky Was Imprisoned That He Did Not Get a Fair Trial

there Were Corrupt Actors from victims to Prosecutors to at Least One Judge

much of the Case Was Based on the Junk Science of Repressed Recalled Memories

<span Style="font-size: 16px;">every So called Victim Who Was an Actual Identified Human Being Later Walked Away with More Than a Million Dollars</span>

and It Seemed The more Extravagant the Fiction About Sanduskys Crimes the Greater the Reward

sabastian Paden the Greatest Beneficiary Collected  Million for a Story That Was Incredible and Ridiculous on Its Face

paden Claimed Sandusky Had Raped Him and Forced Him to Fellate Him While Locked in a Soundproofed Basement for Several Days Screaming for Help

but the Basement Was Not Soundproofed and the Doors Didnt Lock from the Outside Paden Could Have Gotten out at Any Time

instead of Escaping and Never Returning He Went Home Went to School and Told No One About His Horrible Ordeals Then at Ages 13 15 Hed Go Back for More  for Years Why

no Human Being Much Less a Sexually Maturing Adolescent Would Have Behaved in That Robotic Manner

it is Also Curious That Another Accuser Aaron Fisher Said He Was in the Same Basement Being Molested on the Same Bed During the Same Weekends over the Same Three Years Yet He and Paden Testified That They Were Unacquainted

the Prosecution Presented Ten victims at Trial

two of Them Remained Unidentified and One May Never Have Lived at All Yet Astonishingly Sandusky Was Convicted on the Charge of Having Molested That Possibly Imaginary Boy

not a Single victim Made a Report Contemporary to the Time of Abuse nor Did Any of Them Confide in Anyonea Friend or Classmate a Family Member or a Counselor

the Case Was a Journalistic Travesty

the Prosecution and Media Were a Conjoined Force the Media Functioned As Credulous Stenographers Reporting Whatever the Prosecution Cared to Tell Them

and Significantly the Campaign to Portray Sandusky As a Monster Began Seven Months Before His Indictment and Continued Through His Trial Rendering the Guilty Verdict All but Inevitable

there Were Other Factors
<h3>paternos Fall Collateral Damage in the Rush to Judgement</h3>
joe Paterno then Dying of Cancer Was Just Two Football Games Away from Ending the Most Distinguished Career of Any American Coach

he Had Worked a Lifetime to Deserve a Reputation As a Man of Goodwill Who Put Honesty over Immediate Gain and Integrity over the Quick Win

but the Media That Convicted Sandusky in Advance Also Convicted Paterno As a Supposed Accomplice to Atrocities

caption Id=attachment 240447 Align=alignnone Width=177<img Class="size-medium Wp-image-240447" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/122-paternosandusky-177x300.webp" Alt="" Width="177" Height="300" /> Jerry Sandusky l Joe Paterno rcaption

it Was the shower Boy Story That Destroyed Paternos Reputation and Led to the Conviction of Three Top Officials at Penn State  for Not Reporting an Alleged Rape of a Ten year old Boy by Sandusky in the Locker Room Showers of a Penn State Athletic Facility Some Ten Years Earlier

contrary to What the Media Reported Paterno or Penn State Officials Did Not Cover Up a Reported Crime

we Now Know for Certain That the Rape in the Showers Never Occurred the victim Himself Allan Myers Swore Under Oath That Nothing More Than Innocent Horseplay Had Been Involved

caption Id=attachment 238588 Align=alignnone Width=300<img Class="wp-image-238588 Size-medium" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/screenshot-2023-12-18-at-9.56.20-pm-300x221.png" Alt="" Width="300" Height="221" /> Jerry Sandusky with Allan Myerscaption

yet the Country Was Shocked by the Medias Frenzied Reports of Sanduskys Rape of a 10 year old Boy That Never Happened

even Without Myerss Exoneration of Sandusky the Story Made No Sense

six Foot Five 230 Pounds Mike Mcqueary a Former Penn State Quarterback Whose Job on the Field Was to Avoid Giant Defensive Linemen Goes into the Penn State Locker Room and Allegedly Sees a Naked Wet Defenseless 57 year old Sandusky with a Child and Doesnt Do Anything

as John Snedden the Most Qualified Investigator Ever Involved in This Case Asked wheres Your Moral Compass or Did It Even Happen

sandusky Was Actually <u>acquitted</u> on the Flimsy shower Boy Charge Yet the Public Continues to Recall It As the Most Vivid Proof of His Villainy

as for the Trial As a Whole It Featured Corruption railroading and a Rush to Judgment

the Presiding Judge Met with the Prosecutors and the Defense Attorney Secretly in a Motel Where They Agreed without Sandusky Present to Waive Sanduskys Preliminary Hearing There He Would Have Learned Who His Accusers Were and Heard Their Fantastic Stories instead of Learning About Them at Trial

the Defense Could Have Challenged the Scientific Validity of Repressed Recalled memorya Key Aspect of the Prosecution Which Rested on That Pseudoscientific Concept to Explain Why None of the victims Had Initially Remembered Their molestation

caption Id=attachment 239531 Align=alignnone Width=300<img Class="size-medium Wp-image-239531" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/screenshot-2024-01-03-at-3.14.31 pm-300x214.png" Alt="" Width="300" Height="214" /> Mike Gillum Repressed Memory Therapist He Said It Took Him Six Months to Get 15 Year Old Aaron Fisher to remember That He Had Been Forced to Have Mutual Oral Sex with Jerry Sandusky Scores of Times Since He Was 14 They Wrote a Book Togethercaption

repressed Memory Should Have Been Challenged As Inadmissible Evidence under the frye Standard Whereby Pennsylvania Courts Require That Testimony Invoking Disputed Science Be Excluded from Consideration There Would Have Been No Case Against Sandusky Without Such Tainted Testimony

every Alleged Victim Dramatically Changed His Story

most Began with the Statement to Police That Sandusky Had Never Abused Them

the Prosecutors Cheated at Every Turn beginning with Their Felonious Leaking to the Media of Their Own False information in Grand Jury Minutes

the Media Mania Started with the Illegal Leaking of Grand Jury Minutes of a Witness Saying He Witnessed the shower Boy Incident

caption Id=attachment 241168 Align=alignnone Width=349<img Class="wp-image-241168" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/screen-shot-2024-02-05-at-1.57.38-am-300x182.png" Alt="" Width="349" Height="212" /> Media Mania During the Sandusky Trialcaption

but at No Point Though His Testimony Shifted More Than Once Did Mike Mcqueary Ever Declare He Had Witnessed a Rape the Prosecutors Unilaterally Altered His Testimony and then Leaked the Doctored Version

and when Mcqueary Complained Senior Attorney General Jonelle Eshbach Sent Him an Email Warning Him to Keep His Objections to Himself in Other Words She Was Suborning Perjury

that Came out After the Trial During One of Sanduskys Several Summarily Dismissed Hearings for a Retrial

the Judge  james Cleland Perhaps with Penn States Jeopardized 2012 Football Season on His Mind Seemed Determined to Get Sanduskys Conviction over With

caption Id=attachment 238877 Align=alignnone Width=300<img Class="size-medium Wp-image-238877" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/screenshot-2023-12-24-at-1.10.28 am-300x273.png" Alt="" Width="300" Height="273" /> Judge John Cleland Rushed the Trial Despite the Defense Not Having Enough Time to Study the Evidencecaption

after His Secret Motel Meeting He Rushed the Trial He Demanded It Go Forward a Mere Seven Months After the Indictment He Also Permitted the Prosecution to Dump 12000 Pages of Discovery Less Than Ten Days Before the Trial He Ignored the Defenses Plea for Time to Look at the Discovery Which Contained Exculpatory Evidence That Could Have Proven Sandusky Was Innocent  and He Denied the Request of Sanduskys Lead Attorney to Resign from the Case Arguing That He Was Incapable of Offering a Fair Defense of His Client
<h3>sanduskys Smiling Lawyer Legal Defense or Media Performance</h3>
still That Attorney Joe Amendola Was Not Motivated to Win His Opening Statement All but Conceded Sanduskys Guilt and His Conduct Throughout the Trial Suggested He Was Less Interested in Defending Sandusky Than in Dissociating Himself from an Unpopular Cause

caption Id=attachment 238736 Align=alignnone Width=300<img Class="size-medium Wp-image-238736" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/amendola-and-sandusky-300x200.jpeg?crop=1" Alt="" Width="300" Height="200" /> Joe Amendola is All Smiles As His Client Jerry Sandusky Heads Toward a Convictioncaption
<h3>the Sandusky Jury Compromised by Preconceived Guilt</h3>
the Jury Was As Compromised As Amendola

several Potential Jurors Admitted They Knew Sandusky Was Guilty Based on What They Had Read in the Media

one Juror Was Friendly with a Witness Who Was to Testify Against Sandusky

another Man Who Worked at Penn State Said His Wife Was totally Convinced of Mr Sanduskys Guilt and That if He Found Him Not Guilty i Would Have to Do a Lot of Explaining

one Juror Said He and His Friends Had Already Decided Sandusky Was Guilty when Asked Whether He Could Face His Friends if He Voted Not Guilty the Young Man Said i Wouldnt Tell Them if Thats How I Felt Because Thats Not How I Feel

the Judge Accepted Every One of Them As Jurors
<h3>dottie Sanduskys Steadfast Fight for Her Husband</h3>
curiously Sanduskys Wife of 60 Years Dottie Still Lives in State College Pennsylvania She Could Have Moved and Made Her Life Easier if She Thought Her Husband Was Guilty but Shes in the Same House Still Visits Him Every Time She Can and is Committed to Proving His Innocence

caption Id=attachment 238571 Align=alignnone Width=158<img Class=" Wp-image-238571" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/dottie-sandusky-296x300.png" Alt="" Width="158" Height="160" /> Dottie Sanduskycaption

and Jerry Sandusky Himself Has Shown Incredible Resilience Hes a Strong Man Very Few People Could Hold Up Against the Universal Hatred He Has Experienced His Innocence Combined with His Strong Methodist Faith Has Carried Him This Far Incidentally It Appears Evident That  no One Who Has Gotten to Know Himneither His Guards nor His Fellow Prisonersbelieves Him to Be a Criminal

an Actual Child Molester Has Numerous Victims Who Cannot Forget Their Abuse They Eventually Come Forward and They Testify but Every Single One of Sanduskys Accusers Was <u>recruited</u> Either by a Greedy Parent or by Prosecutors or by child Abuse Attorneys Who Looked Forward to Sharing Enormous Settlements

these Attorneys Referred Their New Clients to Memory Therapists Who Helped Them remember What They Had Forgotten to Tell Police when They First Interviewed Them  That Sandusky Had Never Abused Them

the Therapists Brought Them Their Memories of Abuse Recovered in Graphic and Vivid detail yet with Dreamlike Features and Absurd Inconsistencies That Typify Therapeutically Induced recollections
<h3>sanduskys Physical Condition Revealed the Overlooked Evidence</h3>
but One Detail an All important One Was Never Mentioned Even Once and All by Itself It Proves That the Stories of Rape and Indeed of Any Sex Acts Whatever Were Fictitious

the Smoking Gun is Sandusky Had Only Vestigial Testicles He Was Born That Way As Part of a Condition That Also Featured an Inability to Generate Enough Testosterone to Father a Child

yet Not One of the Eight Trial Accusers Looking Forward to Their Millions from Penn State Ever Mentioned This Conspicuous Fact

aaron Fisher Claimed 100 Episodes of Fellatio but He Never Said by the Way Jerry Has No Testicles Worth Mentioning

brett Swisher Houtz Who Claimed Sandusky Turned Him Upside Down and Stuck His Penis and Testicles in His Face Never Noticed It

<span Style="font-size: 16px;">nor Did Anyone Else </span>these Were Not Seven Eight year old Boys the Men Who Made the Allegations at Trial Claim Sandusky Abused Them when They Were 12 13 14 15 16

boys This Age Are Aware of Their Genitals and Whats Happening to Them Not One of Them Ever Noticed Sandusky Had Shrunken Testicles That Fact Alone Ought to Have Sufficed for Acquittal on All Charges yet for Reasons Unknown Sanduskys Attorney Chose Not to Present This Extraordinarily Important Medical Information Either from Sandusky or Physicians  Who Provided Medical Records to the Defense Before the Trial

jerry Sandusky Was Never a Plausible Candidate for the Role of Homosexual Pedophile Insofar As He Was Sexual at All There Was Never a Hint of Gayness About Him by All Accounts He Was Conventional and Prudish in His Attitude Toward Sexual Matters

in Addition Abusers by the Very Nature of Their Crime  are Generally  furtive and Sly Jerry Was Boisterous and Fun loving with His Playfulness and Kindness Toward Neglected Children out in the Open for All to See He Was and Still Is an Extremely Devout Christian Again Abusers Wallow in Pornography but There Was No Pornography Found on Sanduskys Computers or Phones

on the Other Hand the Lead Prosecutor Frank Fina Was Fired from His Job for Using His State Computer to Share Porn with Judges Later He Was Suspended from the Practice of Law for Lying to a Judge About His Plan to Intimidate a Witness in the Case

caption Id=attachment 238670 Align=alignnone Width=320<img Class="wp-image-238670 " Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/frank-fina-abc-27-300x169.png" Alt="" Width="320" Height="180" /> Prosecutor Frank Finacaption

finally Consider the Level of Guile and Intimidation That Would Have Allowed Sandusky to Abuse Hundreds of Boys as the Prosecution Alleged over Decades in a Small Town Rural Community  without Anyone Ever Noticing His Conduct and Without a Single Incident Being Mentioned Even in Private No One Familiar with Sandusky Including His Family Members and Oldest Friends Regards Him As Capable of Such Deceit He is an Innocent Man in Both Senses of the Term Innocent of Malicious Charges and Innocent of Temperament It is Because He Actively Cared About Helping the Underprivileged That People with Less Innocent Minds Regarded Him As Peculiar or Worse

The super-hot rock band SoleTurn is coming off two tremendously successful shows this past weekend and is planning on another big turnout on Saturday (June 29) at 7 at the Hamburg Public House on Lake Erie where they will be performing on the patio stage, weather permitting, with the lake as a breathtaking background.  If it rains, the show will move to the inside bar, says owner Frank Testa.

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Were Not Given a Single Case Filed by Rachel Grynberg Against Any Third Party After She Took Control of the Family Companies</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">not One</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the hurricane Rachel Story Did Not Check Out at Least Not Yet</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">but the Story Behind the Story  How Rachel Grynberg Came to Control a Billion dollar Empire and What Happened to the Women Who Said Her Father Was a Sexual Predator  is Worth Telling Because Nobody else Has Told It</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Major Oil Companies  Bp Shell Exxonmobil Conocophillips  Came in Behind Grynberg and Then As Majors Tend to Do Tried to Cut Him Out Jack Sued Them All He Filed More Than Seventy Lawsuits Accusing Hundreds of Firms of Defrauding the Government of Mineral Royalties He Fought Bp Accused Exxon and Conoco of Participating in Bribery Schemes and Tangled with Foreign Governments from Grenada to Cameroon to Ecuador</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">a Federal Judge Wrote That Grynbergs litigation Exploits Verge on the Legendary a Law Professor Used the Grynberg Family As a Case Study in the Uc Irvine Law Review Alongside Sumner Redstone  Two Aging Tycoons Who Held on Too Long and Watched Their Families Fight for What They Built the Professor Called It the king Lear Problem Shakespeare Would Have Recognized Jack Grynberg Immediately</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Was Not a Man Who Avoided Courtrooms He Lived in Them</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in the 1990s He Placed His Companies  Pricaspian Development Corporation Gadeco and Rsm Production Corporation  in the Names of His Wife Celeste and Their Three Children Rachel Stephen and Miriam the Purpose As a Judge Later Found Was to Protect His Wealth from Creditors Estate Taxes and Kidnapping Threats the Understanding Jack Claimed Was That He Would Run the Companies Until the Day He Died</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">at Their Peak These Entities Held Hundreds of Millions in Cash Reserves Pulled Approximately 0 Million Per Year in Royalty Payments from Kazakhstan Alone and Controlled Exploration Projects Spanning Multiple Continents the Family Pocketed Roughly 0 Million over Twenty three Years While Jack Did the Work</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">then They Fired Him</span>
<h1><b>the Takeover</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">by 2014 Jack Grynbergs Behavior Was Changing He Was in His Eighties His Children Would Later Testify That He Had Become Erratic  Claiming to Own a Wyoming Oil Well Containing Thirty Billion Barrels more Than the Entire Nations Reserves Telling the President of Botswana He Had Two Billion Dollars in a Local Bank Trying to Buy One Hundred Million Dollars in Generators for a Nigerian Power Plant That Did Not Exist a Geriatric Psychiatrist Would Later Testify That Jack Had Dementia by 2014 and Was Sending Bank Information to a Gmail Address He Believed Belonged to a Brazilian Princess Who Had Been Dead for a Decade</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in September 2015 the Pricaspian Board Voted to Remove Jack As an Authorized Signatory on the Companys Bank Accounts in February 2016 the Board Removed Him As President and Appointed Rachel and Stephen As Co interim Ceos in March 2016 They Removed Him from the Board Entirely</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Was Placed in a Care Facility He Died on October 11 2021 at the Age of Eighty nine</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">his Attorney Said Jacks Children Without Having Made Any Contributions to the Companies Had Received Approximately One Billion Dollars That He Alone Had Earned the Familys Lawyer Said They Were relieved to Have This Unfortunate and Painful Litigation Behind Them and That They Had Acted to Protect the Companies and Jack Grynbergs Legacy</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">whether the Children Were Right to Take the Companies from a Man with Dementia is a Fair Question the Courts Said Yes Reasonable People Can Disagree About Whether the Courts Got It Right or Whether the Children Could Have Found a Way to Protect Both the Companies and Their Fathers Dignity but Jack Grynberg Put Those Companies in His Childrens Names He Created the Legal Structure They Used to Remove Him That is Not in Dispute</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">what is in Dispute  or Rather What Has Never Been Discussed at All  is What Happened to the Women</span>
<h1><b>the Women</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in April 2015  One Year Before Rachel and Her Siblings Formally Ousted Their Father  Candice Dee Smith Was Working As Jack Grynbergs Personal Assistant</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">smith Claimed in a Douglas County Lawsuit That Jack Had Bought Her a 0000 Home in Parker Colorado Furnished It and Let Her Live There for Free with Her Then husband and Five Children then the Bill Came Due According to the Lawsuit Grynberg Ushered Her into His Office Bathroom One Day and Told Her It Was time for You to Start Repaying Me for the House</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Lawsuit Alleged She Was Coerced into Sexual Contact Thirty five Times over Several Months</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Will Note What the Reader is Already Thinking Thirty five Times is Not One Moment of Coercion It is Not a Single Act of Force from Which a Victim Could Not Escape It is an Ongoing Arrangement over a Period of Months Smith Alleged Coercion and Coercion is Real  a 0000 House and a Job Create Pressure That Should Not Be Minimized but the Allegation Also Raises Questions About the Line Between Coercion and Complicity That Smith Herself Would Have Had to Answer if the Case Went to Trial <em>the Frank Report</em> Does Not Know Whether It Did</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">smith Was Not the Only Woman to Make Allegations</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">maxine Yzaguirre Worked As a Receptionist at Grynberg Petroleum for Five Months in 2016 She Claimed Jack Gave Her Tasks Requiring Her to Bend over While He Stared That She Walked into His Office and Found Him in His Underwear on at Least Three Occasions That He Thrust Himself at Her and Asked if She Was Interested and That After She Rejected a Kiss He Reminded Her He Had Just Given Her a Bonus</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">roxanne Alvarez Maxines Sister Worked As a Temporary Assistant She Alleged Grynberg Took Her to His Home to Do Tasks While Staring Down Her Shirt on a Separate Occasion She Claimed He Lured Her into the Mens Locker Room at the Companys Denver Offices Kissed Her and Put His Hands Inside Her Bra She Pulled Away and Ran Alvarez Reported the Locker Room Incident to Police Grynberg Was Arrested in December 2016 and Charged with Felony Unlawful Sexual Contact the Denver Da Later Dropped the Charge Saying It Could Not Be Proven Beyond a Reasonable Doubt</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">alvarez Also Reported the Assault to Terence Burns the Companys Vice President According to the Lawsuit Burns Told Her to Stay Quiet and Not Put Their Jobs at Risk He Said Grynberg Had Done This Before</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">burns and Company Attorney Roger Jatco Were Named As Defendants for Allegedly Knowing About Jacks Conduct and Failing to Protect Employees</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">a Fourth Woman Suzanne Greene Did Not Join As a Plaintiff but Submitted a Sealed Affidavit She Said She Was Harassed in 1976 Just Weeks After Being Hired As Jacks Executive Secretary She Said He Asked Her to Show a Visiting Associate a Good Time then Later Came to Her Home Pinned Her to a Wall and Forcibly Kissed Her when She Pushed Him Off He Said but You Invited Me Over Greene Resigned in 1977 and Said She Did Not Go to Authorities Because She Did Not Think They Would Believe Her</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Allegations Span Forty Years the Pattern Described by Burns  he Has Done Things Like This Before  Suggests It Was Well Known Inside the Company</span>
<h1><b>the Question</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">here is What We Know About the Timeline</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">rachel Grynberg and Her Siblings Began Their Legal Campaign to Remove Their Father in 2015 2016 Their Theory Was That Jack Was Mentally Declining Making Irrational Decisions and Putting the Familys Billion dollar Empire at Risk</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">during That Exact Same Period  2015 and 2016  Four Women Were Alleging That Jack Grynberg Was Using the Same Company As a Vehicle for Sexual Predation One Woman Said She Was Coerced into Sex Dozens of Times Another Was Allegedly Assaulted in a Locker Room a Company Executive Acknowledged the Pattern and Told a Victim to Keep Quiet</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Familys Lawsuit to Seize the Companies and the Womens Lawsuit Were Proceeding Simultaneously in the Same Metropolitan Area Covered by the Same Newspaper</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">what Did Rachel Do for Those Women What Did Any of the Grynberg Children Do</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Do Not Know</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">it is Possible That the Grynberg Family Quietly Settled the Womens Claims Ensured They Were Compensated and Required Confidentiality As a Condition if So That Would Be a Responsible Resolution  and by Its Nature We Would Never Know About It</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">it is Also Possible That the Family Took the Money Took the Companies and Left Those Women to Fight One of Denvers Wealthiest Families Alone</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Does Not Know Which of These is True No One in the Grynberg Family Has Ever Said a Word About Those Women Publicly Not Rachel Not Stephen Not Miriam in the Age of metoo a Billion dollar Family That Built Its Entire Legal Strategy Around the Argument That Their Patriarch Was Unfit Has Never Acknowledged the Women Who May Have Had the Most to Say About Just How Unfit He Was</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">maybe the Silence Means the Matter Was Handled Privately and Responsibly Maybe It Means Something Else</span>
<h1><b>what We Are Looking For</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Received Tips Alleging That Rachel Grynberg Has Engaged in a Pattern of Aggressive Litigation and Destruction of Business Relationships Since Taking Control of the Grynberg Empire We Reviewed the Materials Those Tipsters Provided Most of It Documented Jack Grynbergs Legendary Litigation History  Not Rachels What We Were Not Given Was a Single Case Filed by Rachel Grynberg Against Any Third Party Since She Took Control Not One</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">that Does Not Mean Such Cases Do Not Exist the Grynberg Family Operates Behind a Wall of Sealed Records and Corporate Privacy but Tips Dressed Up As Jacks Old Court Filings Do Not Get the Job Done if People Have Been Harmed by Rachel Grynbergs Stewardship of These Companies the Evidence Needs to Be Specific  Case Numbers Jurisdictions Names</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Are Specifically Seeking Information on Two Fronts</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">first the Disposition of the Sexual Harassment and Assault Lawsuit Filed by Smith Yzaguirre and Alvarez in Douglas County Was It Settled on What Terms Did the Grynberg Family Companies Participate Were Non disclosure Agreements Signed</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">second the Current Status of Terence Burns and Roger Jatco Once the Grynberg Children Took Control Burns and Jatco Became Their Employees Burns Was Accused Under Oath of Telling a Victim to Stay Quiet Jatco Was Accused of Knowing About the Pattern and Doing Nothing Did Rachel Fire Them Did She Keep Them the Answer Tells You Something About What Kind of Company She Chose to Run</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Built His Fortune by Fighting Companies That Were Bigger Than He Was His Daughter Inherited That Fortune by Fighting the Man Who Built It Whether the Women Her Father Allegedly Victimized Were Taken Care of or Thrown Away is a Question the Family Has Never Answered</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Invite Rachel Grynberg to Contact<em> the Frank Report</em> at Any Time with Her Perspective if She Took Care of Those Women She Should Say So if Confidentiality Agreements Prevent Her from Discussing the Terms a Simple Acknowledgment That Those Women Existed and That Their Experience Mattered Would Cost Nothing</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">oakland Calif  on June 9 2024 Someone Smashed the Window of Mario Juarezs Car with a Brick by June 14 Fbi Special Agent Duncan Haunold Told a Federal Magistrate Judge It Was an Assassination Attempt Orchestrated by the Duong Family  the Recycling Executives Now Facing Decades in Federal Prison</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">there Was Just One Problem the Evidence Collected the Night of the Shooting  Evidence Sitting in Fbi Files Before Haunold Swore out His Affidavit  Showed the Opposite of What He Told the Judge</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">that Lie and the Search Warrants It Helped Produce Are Now the Subject of a Franks Hearing Set for March 5 2026 Before Us District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers if the Defense Prevails the Evidence Seized in the June 2024 Raids  Raids That Ended a Mayors Career and Produced a 31 page Indictment  Could Be Thrown Out</span>

<h2><b>what the Agent Told the Judge</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">according to the Defense Motion Filed by David Trung Duongs Attorneys at Jones Day and Swanson  Mcnamara Llp docket 119 Special Agent Haunolds June 2024 Affidavit Told the Following Story About the Shooting</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">on the Night of June 9 2024 Co conspirator 1  the Governments Name for Mario Juarez  Was the Target of a suspected Targeted Shooting Due to His Cooperation in This Investigation </span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Affidavit Stated That the Assailants Were waiting for Co conspirator 1 to Return Home and May Have Attempted to Draw Him out of His Home Before They Opened Fire According to the Affidavit Co conspirator 1 Only returned Fire</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">agent Haunold Told the Magistrate He Believed the Shooting Was Targeted and May Have Been Coordinated by the Duong Family in an Attempt to Kill or Harm Co conspirator 1 to Prevent Him from Cooperating with the Investigation</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">this Was Not Filler This Was Not Background the Affidavit Explicitly Asserted Probable Cause to Believe That Andy and David Duong Had Violated 18 Usc  1512a  the Federal Witness tampering Statute That Applies when a Defendant killed or Attempted to Kill Another Person with Intent to Prevent the Attendance or Testimony of Any Person in an Official Proceeding</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">this Was a Claim of Attempted Murder It Was Presented to a Magistrate Judge As Grounds to Raid the Homes of a Sitting Mayor a Vietnamese american Businessman His Son and Their Offices</span>
<h2><b>what the Evidence Actually Showed</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Defenses Supporting Declaration docket 120 Filed by Attorney Neal J Stephens and Containing 23 Exhibits Paints a Radically Different Picture  One Drawn Entirely from Evidence the Fbi Already Had</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">here is What Investigators Knew Before Agent Haunold Submitted His Affidavit on June 14 2024</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">juarez Told Oakland Police He Fired His 40 Caliber Handgun </span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jaurezs Son Told Officers He Heard Four Initial Shots Coming from the Front of the House Where Juarez Was Standing </span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">a Neighbor Independently Confirmed Hearing Four Initial Shots </span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">officers Recovered Four 40 Caliber Shell Casings in Juarezs Front Yard</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">juarez Had Told Police the Sequence Went Like This Unknown Assailants Fired Twice at Him He Fired Four Times in Self defense and the Assailants Left and Returned Approximately Ten Minutes Later to Fire Again</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">but the Physical Evidence Said Something Else Four Shots Were Heard Initially Four Casings Were Found  All Matching Juarezs Gun </span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">if Juarezs Story Were True There Should Have Been Six Sounds in the Initial Volley Two from the Attackers and Four from Him Instead Witnesses Heard Only Four the Initial Gunfire Was All Juarez</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">as David Duongs Attorneys Wrote in Their Reply Brief docket 162 the Available Evidence Suggested That in the Initial Round of Gunfire Co conspirator 1 Shot Four Times and the Supposed Assassin Not at All</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">you Dont Need a Ballistics Degree to See the Problem </span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Neighborhood Told a Different Story Too a Neighbor Reported Seeing two Mexican Males Hitting Juarezs Car with a Brick Prior to the Shooting Police Found a Red Brick Near Juarezs Car Which Had a Smashed Window with Red Dust Consistent with the Brick Juarez Himself Told Officers He Saw an Individual Inside His Vehicle</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">neighbors Told Investigators This Was a High crime Area There Had Been Prior Shootings the Suspects Were Described As Local to the Neighborhood  People Seen at a Nearby Liquor Store This Was Not a Sophisticated Assassination It Looked Like a Smash and grab Gone Sideways when the Homeowner Came out Firing</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">defense Counsel Put It This Way in the Reply Brief sa Haunolds Declaration Does Not Claim That He or Any of His Colleagues Have Ever Encountered a Case Where an Alleged Hit Man Who Was Lying in Wait Allowed His Target to Get into His House and Arm Himself Before Attempting to Lure the Target out by Loudly Breaking Car Windows Thereby Drawing the Attention of the Entire Neighborhood Who Could then Witness the Shooting</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">no Competent Assassin Breaks Car Windows with a Brick and Waits for the Target to Get Inside Grab a Gun and Come out Shooting if the Duong Family Sent Hit Men They Sent the Worst Ones in the History of Organized Crime  Men Who Arrived Smashed a Car Window Let the Target Arm Himself Took Zero Shots when the Target Opened Fire Fled Allegedly Came Back Missed Every Single Shot and then Vanished Without a Trace</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">or It Was a Car Burglary and Juarez a Man Known for Embellishment Violence and Self interest Fired at the Burglars and then Told the Fbi They Were Assassins</span>
<h2><b>the Shotspotter Problem</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">here is Where the Governments Timeline Becomes Evidently False</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">shotspotter the Acoustic Gunfire Detection System Used by Oakland Police Recorded the Shooting the Reports Documented Four Gunshots at 952 Pm and Nine Additional Shots 15 Minutes Later at 1007 Pm Not Six Initial Shots As Juarez Claimed Four</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">according to the Defense Motion the Oakland Police Department Received the Shotspotter Data on June 15 2024  One Day After Agent Haunold Submitted the Affidavit for the Residential Search Warrants</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">but the Warrants Did Not End on June 14 Five Days Later on June 20 the Fbi Obtained Rollover Warrants  Additional Warrants Extending the Search Authority Those Rollover Affidavits Continued to Allege That Co conspirator 1 Had Fired Only in Self defense They Did Not Disclose the Shotspotter Data</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Government Admits in Its Opposition Brief docket 151 That the Shotspotter Data was Not Analyzed Until Several Weeks Later According to the Government the Fbi Did Not Determine That Juarez Likely Fired First Until August or September 2024 More Than Two Months After the Raids That Destroyed a Mayors Career</span>

<img Class="size-medium Wp-image-257826 Aligncenter" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ca7fb44f-9057-4ba9-ba2d-e15fe7a1dd7c-300x229.jpeg" Alt="" Width="300" Height="229" />

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Fbi Had Acoustic Data That Contradicted Its Star Witnesss Account of an Attempted Assassination  Data That Arrived Before the Rollover Warrants Were Filed  and Nobody Looked at It</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Defense Argues This is Not Exculpatory It is Evidence of Reckless Disregard You Have an Informant You Already Know is Motivated by Revenge You Have an Informant You Already Know is a Co conspirator in the Scheme Youre Investigating You Have an Informant Already Charged with Felony Fraud and when Data Arrives That Could Show He Lied About Being the Target of an Assassination  Data Relevant to the Very Warrants Youre Seeking  You Dont Look at It</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in September 2024 Three Months After the Raids the Fbi Finally Re interviewed Juarez About the Shooting He Changed His Story He Now Said He Shot First After Someone Pointed a Gun at Him This Was a Different Account from What He Told Oakland Police on the Night of the Incident and Different from What the Fbi Told the Magistrate</span>
<h2><b>the Governments Defense</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in Its Opposition Brief the Government Offers Two Responses to the Shooting Problem</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">first It Says the Significance of the Evidence Was unclear at the Time  That Four Initial Shots and Four 40 Caliber Casings in Juarezs Yard Didnt Necessarily Tell Haunold That Juarez Fired First</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">david Duongs Attorneys Had a Response to That in Fact the Significance is Unmistakable</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">and It Is Juarez Said the Attackers Shot Twice then He Shot Four Times Witnesses Heard Four Shots Total Casings from Juarezs Gun Accounted for All Four Either Juarez Was Lying or the Supposed Assassins Fired Silent Rounds</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">second the Government Argues the Shooting Was Included in the Affidavit Merely for context About Juarezs state of Mind and Potential Motives for Statements to Law Enforcement</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Defense Demolished This in Their Reply the Affidavit Didnt Present the Shooting As Context It Presented It As a Standalone Crime It Asserted Probable Cause That the Duongs Violated the Federal Witness tampering Statute  Attempted Murder to Prevent Cooperation the Government Cannot Claim the Shooting Was a Cornerstone Allegation when Seeking the Warrant and then Recharacterize It As Background Context when Challenged</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">as the Defense Wrote this After the fact Characterization Cannot Be Squared with the Application Itself</span>
<h2><b>why the Shooting Mattered</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">imagine You Are a Magistrate Judge You Receive a Warrant Application in a Bribery Case the Amounts Are Modest  0000 Split Between Campaign Mailers and Payments to a Mayors Boyfriend the Documentary Evidence Consists Largely of Text Messages Written by the Cooperating Witness Himself the Agent Tells You His Informant is Revenge motivated and Has a Criminal History</span>

caption Id=attachment 261202 Align=aligncenter Width=300<img Class="size-medium Wp-image-261202" Src="https://frankreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/6286e0e3-edda-45fa-b500-6e77f0934141_1040x700-300x202.jpg" Alt="" Width="300" Height="202" /> Mario Roberto Juarez the Serial Fraudster Whose Word is Gold to the Fbicaption

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">now Add This Three Days After the Informant Started Cooperating Someone Tried to Murder Him the Agent Believes the Defendants Family Ordered the Hit</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">that Changes Everything a Bribery Case Becomes a Case Involving Potential Violence the Urgency to Search the Defendants Homes Escalates the Informants Credibility Paradoxically Increases  if They Tried to Kill Him He Must Be Telling the Truth About Something Important</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">now Remove the Assassination Replace It with What Actually Happened a Car Burglary in a High crime Neighborhood Where the Informant Fired First</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Affidavit Reads Very Differently Instead of a Dangerous Cooperator Targeted for Death You Have a Man with a Pattern of Confrontation Exaggeration and Self serving Lies  a Man Who Turned a Neighborhood Burglary into an Assassination Plot Because It Served His Narrative</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Magistrate Never Got to Make That Evaluation Agent Haunold Made It for Her</span>
<h2><b>no Evidence the Duongs Knew</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">there is Another Detail the Government Has Never Addressed and the Defense Highlighted It in Their Reply</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">agent Haunold Told the Magistrate the Shooting Was Connected to the Case for Two Reasons It Was a targeted Attack and It Occurred Just Three Days After Juarezs First Meeting with the Fbi</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Timing Argument Implies That the Duongs  or Someone Acting on Their Behalf  Learned Juarez Was Cooperating and Moved to Silence Him but the Government Does Not Dispute That There Was No Evidence Anyone Other Than the Fbi Knew About Juarezs Cooperation at the Time of the Shooting</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">as the Defense Wrote the Government Does Not Dispute That Sa Haunold Had No Reason to Believe That the Duongs or Anyone Else Knew Co conspirator 1 Had Started Cooperating with Law Enforcement Shortly Before the Shooting</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">so the Fbis Theory Required Accepting Two Unsupported Propositions That the Shooting Was a Targeted Hit Despite Physical Evidence Suggesting a Car Burglary and That the Duongs Somehow Learned About Juarezs Secret Fbi Cooperation in Time to Organize an Assassination Within 72 Hours  Despite No Evidence They Knew</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">agent Haunold Presented Both Propositions As Established Facts</span>
<h2><b>march 5 the Reckoning</b></h2>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">on March 5 2026 Judge Gonzalez Rogers </span><span Style="font-weight: 400;">will Decide Whether to Hold a Full Evidentiary Franks Hearing if She Does Agent Haunold Will Be Called to the Stand He Will Be Asked What He Knew About the Shooting Evidence Before He Submitted His Affidavit He Will Be Asked Why Shotspotter Data Wasnt Reviewed Before the Rollover Warrants Were Issued He Will Be Asked Why He Told a Magistrate That a Car Burglary Was an Assassination</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Standard for a Franks Hearing is Not High the Defense Needs Only to Make a substantial Preliminary Showing That the Affidavit Contained Deliberate or Reckless Falsehoods They Do Not Need to Prove It by a Preponderance of the Evidence  That Comes Later at the Hearing Itself</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Shooting Evidence Alone May Be Enough</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">if the Hearing is Granted and the Defense Prevails the June 2024 Search Warrants Could Be Voided the Evidence Seized in the Raids  the Raids That Dominated Oakland Headlines Destroyed a Political Career and Preceded a Recall Election by Four Months  Could Be Suppressed</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">and a Federal Bribery Case Built on the Word of a Serial Fraudster Who Bounced His Own Bribery Check Might Finally Be Seen for What It Is</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Fbi Raided a Mayors Home over a Car Burglary They Called an Assassination</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">by 2014 Jack Grynbergs Behavior Was Changing He Was in His Eighties His Children Would Later Testify That He Had Become Erratic  Claiming to Own a Wyoming Oil Well Containing Thirty Billion Barrels more Than the Entire Nations Reserves Telling the President of Botswana He Had Two Billion Dollars in a Local Bank Trying to Buy One Hundred Million Dollars in Generators for a Nigerian Power Plant That Did Not Exist a Geriatric Psychiatrist Would Later Testify That Jack Had Dementia by 2014 and Was Sending Bank Information to a Gmail Address He Believed Belonged to a Brazilian Princess Who Had Been Dead for a Decade</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in September 2015 the Pricaspian Board Voted to Remove Jack As an Authorized Signatory on the Companys Bank Accounts in February 2016 the Board Removed Him As President and Appointed Rachel and Stephen As Co interim Ceos in March 2016 They Removed Him from the Board Entirely</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Fought Back He Filed Suit in Texas Claiming His Children Were Violating a Lifetime Agreement the Case Was Moved to Colorado a Jury Found There Was No Oral Contract Granting Him Lifetime Control a Judge Ruled He Was Not Entitled to a Penny in Back Pay for the Decades He Spent Building the Empire His Children Now Owned</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">rachel Led the Fight She is Now Ceo of Rsm Production Corporation and the Registered Agent for Gadeco Royalties Llc She and Her Siblings Control the Entire Apparatus  the Kazakhstan Royalties the Domestic Exploration Rights the Cash Reserves and the Litigation Portfolio That Jack Spent a Lifetime Assembling</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Was Placed in a Care Facility He Died on October 11 2021 at the Age of Eighty nine</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">his Attorney Said Jacks Children Without Having Made Any Contributions to the Companies Had Received Approximately One Billion Dollars That He Alone Had Earned the Familys Lawyer Said They Were relieved to Have This Unfortunate and Painful Litigation Behind Them and That They Had Acted to Protect the Companies and Jack Grynbergs Legacy</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">whether the Children Were Right to Take the Companies from a Man with Dementia is a Fair Question the Courts Said Yes Reasonable People Can Disagree About Whether the Courts Got It Right or Whether the Children Could Have Found a Way to Protect Both the Companies and Their Fathers Dignity but Jack Grynberg Put Those Companies in His Childrens Names He Created the Legal Structure They Used to Remove Him That is Not in Dispute</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">what is in Dispute  or Rather What Has Never Been Discussed at All  is What Happened to the Women</span>
<h1><b>the Women</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in April 2015  One Year Before Rachel and Her Siblings Formally Ousted Their Father  Candice Dee Smith Was Working As Jack Grynbergs Personal Assistant</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">smith Claimed in a Douglas County Lawsuit That Jack Had Bought Her a 0000 Home in Parker Colorado Furnished It and Let Her Live There for Free with Her Then husband and Five Children then the Bill Came Due According to the Lawsuit Grynberg Ushered Her into His Office Bathroom One Day and Told Her It Was time for You to Start Repaying Me for the House</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Lawsuit Alleged She Was Coerced into Sexual Contact Thirty five Times over Several Months</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Will Note What the Reader is Already Thinking Thirty five Times is Not One Moment of Coercion It is Not a Single Act of Force from Which a Victim Could Not Escape It is an Ongoing Arrangement over a Period of Months Smith Alleged Coercion and Coercion is Real  a 0000 House and a Job Create Pressure That Should Not Be Minimized but the Allegation Also Raises Questions About the Line Between Coercion and Complicity That Smith Herself Would Have Had to Answer if the Case Went to Trial <em>the Frank Report</em> Does Not Know Whether It Did</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">smith Was Not the Only Woman to Make Allegations</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">maxine Yzaguirre Worked As a Receptionist at Grynberg Petroleum for Five Months in 2016 She Claimed Jack Gave Her Tasks Requiring Her to Bend over While He Stared That She Walked into His Office and Found Him in His Underwear on at Least Three Occasions That He Thrust Himself at Her and Asked if She Was Interested and That After She Rejected a Kiss He Reminded Her He Had Just Given Her a Bonus</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">roxanne Alvarez Maxines Sister Worked As a Temporary Assistant She Alleged Grynberg Took Her to His Home to Do Tasks While Staring Down Her Shirt on a Separate Occasion She Claimed He Lured Her into the Mens Locker Room at the Companys Denver Offices Kissed Her and Put His Hands Inside Her Bra She Pulled Away and Ran Alvarez Reported the Locker Room Incident to Police Grynberg Was Arrested in December 2016 and Charged with Felony Unlawful Sexual Contact the Denver Da Later Dropped the Charge Saying It Could Not Be Proven Beyond a Reasonable Doubt</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">alvarez Also Reported the Assault to Terence Burns the Companys Vice President According to the Lawsuit Burns Told Her to Stay Quiet and Not Put Their Jobs at Risk He Said Grynberg Had Done This Before</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">burns and Company Attorney Roger Jatco Were Named As Defendants for Allegedly Knowing About Jacks Conduct and Failing to Protect Employees</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">a Fourth Woman Suzanne Greene Did Not Join As a Plaintiff but Submitted a Sealed Affidavit She Said She Was Harassed in 1976 Just Weeks After Being Hired As Jacks Executive Secretary She Said He Asked Her to Show a Visiting Associate a Good Time then Later Came to Her Home Pinned Her to a Wall and Forcibly Kissed Her when She Pushed Him Off He Said but You Invited Me Over Greene Resigned in 1977 and Said She Did Not Go to Authorities Because She Did Not Think They Would Believe Her</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Allegations Span Forty Years the Pattern Described by Burns  he Has Done Things Like This Before  Suggests It Was Well Known Inside the Company</span>
<h1><b>the Question</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">here is What We Know About the Timeline</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">rachel Grynberg and Her Siblings Began Their Legal Campaign to Remove Their Father in 2015 2016 Their Theory Was That Jack Was Mentally Declining Making Irrational Decisions and Putting the Familys Billion dollar Empire at Risk</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">during That Exact Same Period  2015 and 2016  Four Women Were Alleging That Jack Grynberg Was Using the Same Company As a Vehicle for Sexual Predation One Woman Said She Was Coerced into Sex Dozens of Times Another Was Allegedly Assaulted in a Locker Room a Company Executive Acknowledged the Pattern and Told a Victim to Keep Quiet</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Familys Lawsuit to Seize the Companies and the Womens Lawsuit Were Proceeding Simultaneously in the Same Metropolitan Area Covered by the Same Newspaper</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">what Did Rachel Do for Those Women What Did Any of the Grynberg Children Do</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Do Not Know</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">it is Possible That the Grynberg Family Quietly Settled the Womens Claims Ensured They Were Compensated and Required Confidentiality As a Condition if So That Would Be a Responsible Resolution  and by Its Nature We Would Never Know About It</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">it is Also Possible That the Family Took the Money Took the Companies and Left Those Women to Fight One of Denvers Wealthiest Families Alone</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Does Not Know Which of These is True No One in the Grynberg Family Has Ever Said a Word About Those Women Publicly Not Rachel Not Stephen Not Miriam in the Age of metoo a Billion dollar Family That Built Its Entire Legal Strategy Around the Argument That Their Patriarch Was Unfit Has Never Acknowledged the Women Who May Have Had the Most to Say About Just How Unfit He Was</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">maybe the Silence Means the Matter Was Handled Privately and Responsibly Maybe It Means Something Else</span>
<h1><b>what We Are Looking For</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Received Tips Alleging That Rachel Grynberg Has Engaged in a Pattern of Aggressive Litigation and Destruction of Business Relationships Since Taking Control of the Grynberg Empire We Reviewed the Materials Those Tipsters Provided Most of It Documented Jack Grynbergs Legendary Litigation History  Not Rachels What We Were Not Given Was a Single Case Filed by Rachel Grynberg Against Any Third Party Since She Took Control Not One</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">that Does Not Mean Such Cases Do Not Exist the Grynberg Family Operates Behind a Wall of Sealed Records and Corporate Privacy but Tips Dressed Up As Jacks Old Court Filings Do Not Get the Job Done if People Have Been Harmed by Rachel Grynbergs Stewardship of These Companies the Evidence Needs to Be Specific  Case Numbers Jurisdictions Names</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Are Specifically Seeking Information on Two Fronts</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">first the Disposition of the Sexual Harassment and Assault Lawsuit Filed by Smith Yzaguirre and Alvarez in Douglas County Was It Settled on What Terms Did the Grynberg Family Companies Participate Were Non disclosure Agreements Signed</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">second the Current Status of Terence Burns and Roger Jatco Once the Grynberg Children Took Control Burns and Jatco Became Their Employees Burns Was Accused Under Oath of Telling a Victim to Stay Quiet Jatco Was Accused of Knowing About the Pattern and Doing Nothing Did Rachel Fire Them Did She Keep Them the Answer Tells You Something About What Kind of Company She Chose to Run</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Built His Fortune by Fighting Companies That Were Bigger Than He Was His Daughter Inherited That Fortune by Fighting the Man Who Built It Whether the Women Her Father Allegedly Victimized Were Taken Care of or Thrown Away is a Question the Family Has Never Answered</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Invite Rachel Grynberg to Contact<em> the Frank Report</em> at Any Time with Her Perspective if She Took Care of Those Women She Should Say So if Confidentiality Agreements Prevent Her from Discussing the Terms a Simple Acknowledgment That Those Women Existed and That Their Experience Mattered Would Cost Nothing</span>

Soleturn Performing at Sportsmens

Testa, of Hamburg Public House, calls SoleTurn “a well-polished group that packs the house” and says he is looking forward to Saturday’s show.

And packing the house has become routine for SoleTurn as they drew a big crowd at the Blueberry Treehouse Café last Friday and also at Marge’s Lakeside Inn on Lake Ontario last Saturday night.

Be Sure to Hydrate and Slap on the Spf Because Soleturns Music is Hot and Getting Hotter

“It was a perfect summer day,” said Vik Bhargava, SoleTurn’s lead vocalist in describing the show at Marge’s where the group, with their mix of old and new that audiences love, performed a three-hour show that fans received very well.

Bhargava says the guys in the group are super stoked about the response they are receiving as they prepare to release their debut album, “The Soundtrack of Our Youth.”

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in September 2015 the Pricaspian Board Voted to Remove Jack As an Authorized Signatory on the Companys Bank Accounts in February 2016 the Board Removed Him As President and Appointed Rachel and Stephen As Co interim Ceos in March 2016 They Removed Him from the Board Entirely</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Was Placed in a Care Facility He Died on October 11 2021 at the Age of Eighty nine</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">his Attorney Said Jacks Children Without Having Made Any Contributions to the Companies Had Received Approximately One Billion Dollars That He Alone Had Earned the Familys Lawyer Said They Were relieved to Have This Unfortunate and Painful Litigation Behind Them and That They Had Acted to Protect the Companies and Jack Grynbergs Legacy</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">whether the Children Were Right to Take the Companies from a Man with Dementia is a Fair Question the Courts Said Yes Reasonable People Can Disagree About Whether the Courts Got It Right or Whether the Children Could Have Found a Way to Protect Both the Companies and Their Fathers Dignity but Jack Grynberg Put Those Companies in His Childrens Names He Created the Legal Structure They Used to Remove Him That is Not in Dispute</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">what is in Dispute  or Rather What Has Never Been Discussed at All  is What Happened to the Women</span>
<h1><b>the Women</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">in April 2015  One Year Before Rachel and Her Siblings Formally Ousted Their Father  Candice Dee Smith Was Working As Jack Grynbergs Personal Assistant</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">smith Claimed in a Douglas County Lawsuit That Jack Had Bought Her a 0000 Home in Parker Colorado Furnished It and Let Her Live There for Free with Her Then husband and Five Children then the Bill Came Due According to the Lawsuit Grynberg Ushered Her into His Office Bathroom One Day and Told Her It Was time for You to Start Repaying Me for the House</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Lawsuit Alleged She Was Coerced into Sexual Contact Thirty five Times over Several Months</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Will Note What the Reader is Already Thinking Thirty five Times is Not One Moment of Coercion It is Not a Single Act of Force from Which a Victim Could Not Escape It is an Ongoing Arrangement over a Period of Months Smith Alleged Coercion and Coercion is Real  a 0000 House and a Job Create Pressure That Should Not Be Minimized but the Allegation Also Raises Questions About the Line Between Coercion and Complicity That Smith Herself Would Have Had to Answer if the Case Went to Trial <em>the Frank Report</em> Does Not Know Whether It Did</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">smith Was Not the Only Woman to Make Allegations</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">maxine Yzaguirre Worked As a Receptionist at Grynberg Petroleum for Five Months in 2016 She Claimed Jack Gave Her Tasks Requiring Her to Bend over While He Stared That She Walked into His Office and Found Him in His Underwear on at Least Three Occasions That He Thrust Himself at Her and Asked if She Was Interested and That After She Rejected a Kiss He Reminded Her He Had Just Given Her a Bonus</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">roxanne Alvarez Maxines Sister Worked As a Temporary Assistant She Alleged Grynberg Took Her to His Home to Do Tasks While Staring Down Her Shirt on a Separate Occasion She Claimed He Lured Her into the Mens Locker Room at the Companys Denver Offices Kissed Her and Put His Hands Inside Her Bra She Pulled Away and Ran Alvarez Reported the Locker Room Incident to Police Grynberg Was Arrested in December 2016 and Charged with Felony Unlawful Sexual Contact the Denver Da Later Dropped the Charge Saying It Could Not Be Proven Beyond a Reasonable Doubt</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">alvarez Also Reported the Assault to Terence Burns the Companys Vice President According to the Lawsuit Burns Told Her to Stay Quiet and Not Put Their Jobs at Risk He Said Grynberg Had Done This Before</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">burns and Company Attorney Roger Jatco Were Named As Defendants for Allegedly Knowing About Jacks Conduct and Failing to Protect Employees</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">a Fourth Woman Suzanne Greene Did Not Join As a Plaintiff but Submitted a Sealed Affidavit She Said She Was Harassed in 1976 Just Weeks After Being Hired As Jacks Executive Secretary She Said He Asked Her to Show a Visiting Associate a Good Time then Later Came to Her Home Pinned Her to a Wall and Forcibly Kissed Her when She Pushed Him Off He Said but You Invited Me Over Greene Resigned in 1977 and Said She Did Not Go to Authorities Because She Did Not Think They Would Believe Her</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Allegations Span Forty Years the Pattern Described by Burns  he Has Done Things Like This Before  Suggests It Was Well Known Inside the Company</span>
<h1><b>the Question</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;">here is What We Know About the Timeline</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">rachel Grynberg and Her Siblings Began Their Legal Campaign to Remove Their Father in 2015 2016 Their Theory Was That Jack Was Mentally Declining Making Irrational Decisions and Putting the Familys Billion dollar Empire at Risk</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">during That Exact Same Period  2015 and 2016  Four Women Were Alleging That Jack Grynberg Was Using the Same Company As a Vehicle for Sexual Predation One Woman Said She Was Coerced into Sex Dozens of Times Another Was Allegedly Assaulted in a Locker Room a Company Executive Acknowledged the Pattern and Told a Victim to Keep Quiet</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">the Familys Lawsuit to Seize the Companies and the Womens Lawsuit Were Proceeding Simultaneously in the Same Metropolitan Area Covered by the Same Newspaper</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">what Did Rachel Do for Those Women What Did Any of the Grynberg Children Do</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Do Not Know</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">it is Possible That the Grynberg Family Quietly Settled the Womens Claims Ensured They Were Compensated and Required Confidentiality As a Condition if So That Would Be a Responsible Resolution  and by Its Nature We Would Never Know About It</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">it is Also Possible That the Family Took the Money Took the Companies and Left Those Women to Fight One of Denvers Wealthiest Families Alone</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Does Not Know Which of These is True No One in the Grynberg Family Has Ever Said a Word About Those Women Publicly Not Rachel Not Stephen Not Miriam in the Age of metoo a Billion dollar Family That Built Its Entire Legal Strategy Around the Argument That Their Patriarch Was Unfit Has Never Acknowledged the Women Who May Have Had the Most to Say About Just How Unfit He Was</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">maybe the Silence Means the Matter Was Handled Privately and Responsibly Maybe It Means Something Else</span>
<h1><b>what We Are Looking For</b></h1>
<span Style="font-weight: 400;"><em>the Frank Report</em> Received Tips Alleging That Rachel Grynberg Has Engaged in a Pattern of Aggressive Litigation and Destruction of Business Relationships Since Taking Control of the Grynberg Empire We Reviewed the Materials Those Tipsters Provided Most of It Documented Jack Grynbergs Legendary Litigation History  Not Rachels What We Were Not Given Was a Single Case Filed by Rachel Grynberg Against Any Third Party Since She Took Control Not One</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">that Does Not Mean Such Cases Do Not Exist the Grynberg Family Operates Behind a Wall of Sealed Records and Corporate Privacy but Tips Dressed Up As Jacks Old Court Filings Do Not Get the Job Done if People Have Been Harmed by Rachel Grynbergs Stewardship of These Companies the Evidence Needs to Be Specific  Case Numbers Jurisdictions Names</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Are Specifically Seeking Information on Two Fronts</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">first the Disposition of the Sexual Harassment and Assault Lawsuit Filed by Smith Yzaguirre and Alvarez in Douglas County Was It Settled on What Terms Did the Grynberg Family Companies Participate Were Non disclosure Agreements Signed</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">second the Current Status of Terence Burns and Roger Jatco Once the Grynberg Children Took Control Burns and Jatco Became Their Employees Burns Was Accused Under Oath of Telling a Victim to Stay Quiet Jatco Was Accused of Knowing About the Pattern and Doing Nothing Did Rachel Fire Them Did She Keep Them the Answer Tells You Something About What Kind of Company She Chose to Run</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">jack Grynberg Built His Fortune by Fighting Companies That Were Bigger Than He Was His Daughter Inherited That Fortune by Fighting the Man Who Built It Whether the Women Her Father Allegedly Victimized Were Taken Care of or Thrown Away is a Question the Family Has Never Answered</span>

<span Style="font-weight: 400;">we Invite Rachel Grynberg to Contact<em> the Frank Report</em> at Any Time with Her Perspective if She Took Care of Those Women She Should Say So if Confidentiality Agreements Prevent Her from Discussing the Terms a Simple Acknowledgment That Those Women Existed and That Their Experience Mattered Would Cost Nothing</span>
Vik Bhargava Zachary Michael Robert Helms and Patrick Mudd Turning It Up to 11

Of last week’s shows, Bhargava said “It was a real pleasant surprise to see so many people come out to entirely difference venues in two different cities    I feel good knowing that people enjoyed themselves and the guys just played incredible.  When you have to sing your heart out for three hours, it makes my job a heck of a lot easier when you’ve got a solid band behind you.  We’ve really been able to tighten our sound and live act as we’re going to have a big album release concert in the coming months.  Zachary (Michael), myself and the guys are super excited.”

The “guys” include Zachary Michael, bass/vocals, Rob Helms, drums/vocals, and Patrick Mudd, keyboards/vocals.

It is a group that seems to be catching fire as the season moves on and more and more folks turn out to hear their music. As Vik says, “it is about the song, and connecting with people. That’s what we are all about.”
