Laurita Defendants Deal with Legal Set Back in Federal Court

On November 26, 2012, the U.S. Trustee (“Responsible Person”) in charge for Signature Apparel filed a Motion to Amend the Complaint against Defendants Lauritas, individually. The allegations are another blow to Mommy of the Year and her Shady Businessman husband.

The Declaration of Counsel in Support of the Motion to Amend the Complaint details the alleged deceit of Chris Laurita and his counsel in attempting to hide assets from the Bankruptcy Court. This alleged deceit began to unravel with production of documents and email by Third Persons that were served with Subpoena.

Specifically, the Lauritas filed Schedules and a Statement of Financial Affairs with the Bankruptcy Court where they failed to disclose licensing agreements (for manufacturing and distribution of goods) with Rocawear and Iconix. Paragraph 6 of Declaration

The Trustee seeks to amend the Complaint based upon  the incomplete and/or what “appear to have been false” statements made by Lauritas.

The Court was advised of counsel for Lauritas’ deliberate delay in producing documents:

Notably, counsel for the Laurita Defendants attempted to delay production of documents to the “Responsible Person”, taking the position that the Laurita brothers’ permission was required prior to the production . . . This position was puzzling, given that the “Responsible Person” previously had received similar productions . . . At no previous time was the prior permission of the Laurita brothers deemed necessary . . .

Paragraph 16 of Declaration.

  • On June 29, 2012, the Trustee received further confirmation that Signature Apparel’s former counsel was withholding documents.   Signature’s former counsel took the following contradictory positions:
  • At first, counsel stated it never represented the Lauritas or any entities owned or controlled by the Lauritas other than Signature;
  • On April 5, 2012, counsel stated “it had done some corporate related work for Chris Laurita” but that it had “nothing to do with Signature;”

On April 24, 2012, former counsel produced the much anticipated Notice of Default for the licensing agreement.  Contrary to Lauritas’ counsel statements, prior counsel still withheld documents.

While Creditors were owed in excess of $55 million dollars, the Lauritas sought to drain Signature Apparel so as to deprive creditors by financially benefiting the Laurita Brothers.

    They deserve everything they get. They are a joke. She is the biggest scammer going. Her son has made great progress. I’m sorry but I do not believe he has Autism. Fat Daddy and his sludge is another scam. This is going to go on for years. Darn I say, get on with it and get it over. She’s getting wackier every day.

    • avatar Joanna says:

      I have my doubts as well, we will see how well he really communicates in this upcoming season.

      • avatar Socalsoccer says:

        They are liars and theives. Who can really believe her son has autism? I would hope no one could lie about a diagnosis like that. What goes around, comes around.

        • avatar hoolie says:

          EXACTLY! Couldn’t have said it better myself Socal

        • avatar Hollie says:

          I honestly think this kid has fetal alcohol syndrome! Shame on them if he does not have autism. They are trying to claim that BLK has cured him and will cure all autistic kids! they’re are many parents who are desperate to help their kids and will buy the sludge! I also hope to God they get all that is coming to them! Who rips off the Susan G Comen Breast Ca society? These are the same people trying to pass off BLK as a miracle water!! Wako called T scum, well she is the president of Scum Incor.

  3. avatar lobstahsmaht says:

    Between the Gorgas and the Lauritas it looks like what goes around is coming around. Karma is hitting them big time. Couldn’t happen to two more deserving couples.

  4. avatar whoopsie says:

    Mr. Shady and Jacko have been conning everyone for a long time. I want to see all their stealing and lies made public and justice served.

  5. avatar Sunny says:

    What a bunch of lowlife thieves. Jax has the nerve to wish ” jail time” on others while she & her husband steal millions. I hope Karma is a bitch to her.

  6. avatar Karen says:

    This family is absolutely disgusting. Could they be any more repulsive and still pretend to be the perfect couple

  7. avatar CleverID says:

    Love love love you faux! Still puzzles me that no tabloid has picked up the story, the Guidice bankruptcy was everywhere? I have friends that still think the Lauritas are good people…so frustrating!

  8. avatar Buck Henry says:

    It’s getting worse and worse for them. People aren’t going to jail or get sued for Mr. Shady and clown posse. Chris and his lawyers think they can con their way into making the federal trustee to give up but he won’t. Chris and company bled that company out to the tune of 55 million at least and didn’t want to pay anybody money the company aka they owed. Sooner or later that judge is not going to wait and maybe put Chris and others in contempt of court and have them arrested. Not to mention that the federal govt. will be going after them for Bankrutpcy fraud and bleeding a company to the tune of 55 million dollars.

    • avatar Candace says:

      Those are staggering dollar amounts. It’s amazing!

    • avatar Aint Pittypat says:

      IMO the Lauritas will run out of money to pay their attorneys at some point and then the game of legal cat and mouse will come to an abrupt halt. Chris needs to get real. The Government Boys have all the time in the world and continuing to lie and obstruct the court is a very poor decision. This matter has to be costing the Lauritas a big fat bundle in legal fees. How long can they hang on?

      • avatar FauxReality says:

        True. To date, Laurita brothers have been utilizing big name attorneys. Eventually, those attorneys will drain whatever is left.

        • avatar Aint Pittypat says:

          My BFF went through a divorce 20 years ago. Her Dr. husband had all the time and money in the world to string her along and delay delay delay. They spent 50,000 on attorneys before his GF turned up pregnant and he settled very quickly. The Lauritas bankruptcy is costing a bundle. They are burning through attorney’s fees like they own the US mint. You know those Bravo paychecks can’t begin to cover the bills. My question is will Bravo Andy hold Jax feet to the fire this season?

          • avatar madepiley says:

            No way. Jax is taking a page out of SWINE’s book using her child as a shield. And of course all her “humanitarian” efforts for Sandi victims. She will get and Andy pass.

  9. do u remember the tweet from chris? stating something like my info on Signature Apparel was false…. chris was a fraud n defrauded roco wear n another company =

    chris tweeted something like…why would he still be in business with roco wear etc have lic agreement if he stole from them….

    i remember reading the tweet

    do u?

  10. avatar Aint Pittypat says:

    It amazes me that The Lauritas manage to get away with this. This is nothing more than a white collar hijacking and nothing less than robbery. It disgusts me that Jax twitters away about her fully stocked gluten free pantry, in home therapist, special needs in training Nanny while others with autistic children struggle to pay the bills and provide service to their children. Did Bubba Jax earn the money to provide her child with that abundance or did the Signature Apparel investors and the long line of stiffed creditors ? It is an insult and travesty to parents everywhere that would give anything to just pay the bills on time and to be able to give their child one tenth of that. I suppose if you are brazen enough and do not have a moral compass you to can be rich at other’s expense.

    • avatar hoolie says:

      lack of brain cells from excess booze consumption too….

      • avatar spababe says:

        I do believe that they have a lot of that 55 million hidden away and are using that.

        • avatar Buck Henry says:

          No they don’t, don’t get me wrong they had money stashed away (that’s what was funding their lifestyle). The last thing they want is to have a clear cut showing of him moving 2.5 million from the company bank account to his bank account etc. etc.. That is why he had Jax and others as no show jobs with a big salary and moving money back and forth through his other companies and such. And remember much of the family had their hand out for money also, if you don’t think that Caroline and Albert didn’t get a bunch of money your dead wrong especially with his contacts with the police.

          Also remember you have to think of it this way, they didn’t one day take out 55 million and split it up among themselves (which if you think about it with a possible mix of 6 people to 10 that would have been 5 million a piece and that doesn’t go to far with this type of spending). They took money out over a course of time so when you see 1.5 million taken out that may have been split between all of them or a few of them and they used that money to buy cars or downpayments on houses or trips etc. etc.. You see 90,000, 200,000 or half a million may seem like alot to us and it is. But when you are spending like daddy warbucks and buying top of the line Jaguars and other things that money can get burned through real quick.

          • avatar spababe says:

            Then Buck tell me how are they living the lifestyle they are still living. She hires people our of the arse how.

            • avatar Buck Henry says:

              In fact to be honest with you, they aren’t living the lifestyle that they where living back in season one, remember. You don’t see all those black expensive vehicles anymore. He stopped going on those trips before the show unless bravo paid for it. And remember last season he got a car for Ashlee but had the mother cosign for it and not him. Something changed this time for Mr. money bags, and that is he won’t pay the full amount and he doesn’t want things if he can help it in his name.

              What you see (His house) are the only things left. His other vehicles may have been sold or taken back if leased because it was draining what little he had left.

          • avatar Aint Pittypat says:

            Buck do we know when Caroline bought the Franklin Lakes mansion? Doesn’t her sister Dina, now estranged, live in don Caro’s former home the white Cape Cod rambler from season 1? Curious if Caroline received “help” from Chris.
            Yes the money is likely very diminished because the Lauritas acted like kids in a candy store. A Bentley? Really?
            I’m really curious if/how Chris paid the IRS for the income he siphoned from SA? At some point they are about to get a scrupulous audit from the IRS.

            • avatar Buck Henry says:

              So that house Dina was living in was Carol and Alberts old house? I didn’t know, I’ve been trying to find out also when they bought their Mcmansion too. Because if we can find out the time frame then we will know for a fact that they got money from someone who had money (Chris and family).

            • avatar dch60 says:

              I never remember Caroline in a different house. I believe she’s been in the one she’s in for quite some time.

          • avatar Joanna says:

            @Buck You know, they should have just taken all 55 mil at once. “Go big or go home” right?
            Either way, they are up shits creek without a paddle.

  11. avatar Kelly says:

    Awesome job Faux, These crazy loons are so rightous, yet thieves and liers. I remember an episode from the past when Chris and the gang were at an Italian deli. I can’t off hand remember what the bill was but it was huge. Chris whips out his credit card. His look was odd and it always stayed with me. Now I know he is a thief. I read this all the time but rarely post. Just wanted you to know I am here.

    • avatar Buck Henry says:

      Actually there is a blind item from 2 years ago that was connected to the RHONJ. It said that one of the housewives was broke as hell and that the husbands credit cards are always getting denied etc. etc.. They made sure to say it wasn’t Teresa and Joe, I always thought it was Chris and Jax. I truly think that they are on their last gas vapors of the fun they had when they ran that multi-million dollar company and drained it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t go live in an apt..

      • avatar dubbalicious says:

        Perhaps the Laurita’s and Gorga’s can share a room at the Gorga’s in-laws home..lol
        Seems they’re both heading in the same direction!!

      • avatar Duffy1958 says:

        I read today Caroline is selling Franklin Lakes home & moving into an apartment. I understand downsizing but from mansion to apartment? Not a smaller house, condo but apartment? Doesn’t make sense.

    • avatar Candace says:

      I recall that deli clip, and I think they rang up $500 or $600 dollars.

  12. avatar ChemGeek says:

    The Lauritas better get used to drinking toilet wine.

  13. avatar Janene says:

    Does this mean no more over the top Christmas mornings with presents piled to the ceiling????

  14. avatar Amazing NJ says:

    I believe that more information will be coming in. And the Trustee will file for leave to amend the complaint again. Chris L is BAD (as well as his 2 brothers Anthony and Joseph). Well, blk water probably was funded by Chris L’s embezzlement.

    Note to DonCaro: Your fambly is thick as thieves? No, your family members ARE THIEVES.

        Good suggesting. But it DOES explain how someone like Laurita would be more comfortable hanging out with a Marco spawn. Birds of a feather n whatnot

          • avatar spababe says:

            Remember Pittypat what goes around comes around and it sure going to bite Mehohoho where the sun don’t shine. She’s a whore from the word go. People will soon realize if this gets out.

            • avatar Aint Pittypat says:

              I am deadly serious when I say that anyone with a grain of common sense ( Normally I would also add class but God only knows that is something that is not in the Marco’s vocabulary) and has children would allow this kind of vile , shady person even marginally in their lives. Wow! to think Caroline and Jacko whine cozied up to MeGo and trashed Teresa. MeGo’s day of reckoning is on her doorstep in the form of this …IDK sex worker? Really?

          • avatar Harmony says:

  25. avatar daisymay says:

    I don’t get this – so what exactly is the connection with mego and this sheman person? something about info and tweeting -??

    • avatar ChemGeek says:

      What I’ve put together is that this “lady” has a sexy website (Skyler St. Coxx), and this “lady” is also a co-host on QueenzofMedia podcast. QueenzofMedia has a blog and talk show. MeGo was a guest for the QueenzofMedia (Skyler St. Coxx’s show) podcast as featured on the QueenzofMedia blog.

      If you put “QueensofMedia” into the Twitter search, you will find them and the links for their websites.

      I hope that helps :)

  27. avatar Bella says:

    Something is definitely wrong with her son! The severity of is yet to be known, Botox, injectable fillers and Alcohol are not recommended during pregnancy. Look back at the season when she was pregnant & you be the judge. I also heard from a lil birdie that her eldest son may not be C. I really despise this woman! Evil Eyes!!!!

    • avatar Buck Henry says:

      I totally agree with you, and I’ve commented on that on other sites before. Remember Jax likes to drink, and I think she drinks in private also. Remember last season when her and Teresa was going to work out at her house with her “trainer”. Did you ever wonder why the trainer who is a female was acting strangely, she was 2 sheets to the wind she was drunk. If you don’t believe me look at that episode again and the cameraman was smart enough to film the flask of vodka in her carry bag. I’ve always wondered why did the camera people do that and nobody even talked about it even in the reunion.

      It’s because her sons autism could easily be FAS or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

      “To clarify this point, I asked Dr. Susan Levy, a top autism expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia:

      If a person has “autism-like” symptoms, does he or she have an autism spectrum disorder? That is, if a person has, for example, fetal alcohol syndrome with “autism-like” symptoms, does that person have autism caused by FAS, or FAS with autism-like symptoms, or a dual diagnosis?”

      “Here is how Dr. Levy answered the question:

      If they meet the criteria, they have autism. Those medical issues are the underlying cause. Autism is the end-product of different biological entities. FAS [fetal alcohol syndrome] may be a cause of autism. The medical issue may cause the problem. There could also be confounding issues that make diagnosis difficult. [It's also critical that] onset must be before age 3. if there are cognitive impairments after age 3, it’s not autism – it’s brain injury with autism-like symptoms.

      Dr. Levy says, while about 80% of autism is idiopathic (of unknown cause), there are at present many known causes of autism including FAS, rubella, Fragile X Syndrome, and more. In addition, according to a a report published in Pediatrics in 2009 entitled “Prevalence of parent-reported diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder among children in the US, 2007,” as many as 40% of children who received an autism spectrum disorder at some point in their lives are no longer diagnosable on the autism spectrum. ”

      Even if she stopped drinking, she could have been weeks pregnant drinking like a fish and then oops I’m pregnant and stop (then drinking on the side). We wondered why did it take them so long to get him diagnosed and they said they where waiting on their insurance, thats BS. I truly think he got his autism from FAS and nobody wants to say it because at the end of the day it would seem the mother damaged the child.

      • avatar wildrose says:

        Great post Buck Henry! But if autism can truly be caused by FAS under all of Jax’s circumstances it should be made well known publicly and written about without being shrouded in secrecy.

        Information that mother can damage a child due to a drinking prior to or during a pregnancy needs to be a public service, not the protected right of a “patient”/client/mom. It’s child abuse and should be treated accordingly, imho.

  28. avatar Miss Fabulous says:

    Faux, did u get what I sent u?

  29. avatar xxciaobelloxx says:

    i remember jac having a hard time to become pregnant…i wonder how old she is when she had him because that could be the reason why he might have autism. She also had four miscarriages so there was problem to begin with.

    • avatar wildrose says:

      xxciaobelloxx, you are so right that “there was a problem to begin with”, Jacqueline’s miscarriages could very well have been caused by her heavy abuse of alcohol and simultaneous use of Xanex or similar drugs. I would bet that the gyn doctor gave the risks of using drugs and alcohol while trying to conceive to the Laurita’s multiple times.

  30. avatar marianne says:

    Looks like there will be more Court action on dec 20 in judge peck’s court. 4 motions will be ruled on. I wish I had a law degree so that I understood all of this. If you google the case number you will find the docket.

    • avatar FauxReality says:

      Marianne, the Motion that is described in the article hereinabove will be decided by the Court on December 20th – that is if the Trustee is granted permission to Amend the Complaint. If you want to see any additional documents and cannot find or cannot understand, please advise and documents will be posted and /or explained.

  31. avatar daisymay says:

    I hope that the next court motion tomorrow will spark a return of faux reality! really miss your entries!

  32. avatar TiaGiaChristie says:

    Faux,
    I really look forward to your posts….they are like presents to be savored!! It is my hope that your holidays have been full of love, happy memories, and lots of fun! Do you have any new information on the Lousy Lauritas and their criminal activities or their bankruptcy case? Again may your 2013 be prosperous, full of wonderful memories, and blessed. Thank you for all you do….
