3-03-07 Smith and and his Attorneys  still trying to steal settlement funds paid to settle tax litigation years ago.

Smith, after signing a settlement agreement making the Aardvark Partnerships the exclusive beneficiary of the settlement agreement and each side agreeing to pay their own attorney fees and costs, now is attempting to foreclose on trust deeds on Sandra Kardos' properties and personally keep the funds along with his attorneys and giving the Aardvark Partnerships nothing.

Here is the lawsuit we just filed to return the properties

Smith V Kardos and Brink settled.

On 11-20-98 we  reached an  agreement with Peter Smith and his attorneys Baker, Silverberg, et al. All parities agreed that no one admitted to any wrongdoing . All parties and  their representatives were released except Fred Rucker, who had represented all parties (on both sides of this case at various times), and he was specifically excluded from releases by all the parties.

More data will be posted as it is signed, transcribed, scanned and entered. The agreement will ultimately eliminate any possible liability to the general partners. While a number of the partners were not reachable as letters sent to them were not deliverable, 99%+ of those responding agreed to our request and signed the agreement transferring their partnership interests to Charles Brink.  He, as both the general Partner and as the attorney-in-fact for the Aardvark Partnerships, will close the partnerships. More on the mechanics will be posted here later.


This page is to describe the problems caused by Disterdick's (TFP) attorney (Fred Rucker) to Charles Brink and Sandra Kardos and to you as a partner in one of the fraudulent Government Securities partnerships.

We are posting on this web site a number of documents to provide background information on the issues. While you don't have to read any of them, they are presented for your information. If you want to see the detailed document, click its name in the summary.

Frequently asked questions. We are adding answers to questions posed by telephone calls.

Are you requesting money?. We are not asking for any more money for our services. The amount contributed in 1987, along with the funds recovered from the promoters, is all we asked originally for that work. If anyone wants to send contributions to our cost of defense, that would be welcome. But, just your signature on the the agreement his very much appreciated.

10-1-98 Was I a general Partner? Yes, to receive losses in excess of your "investment" (basis) you needed to be at risk for those losses (IRC 465). As a general partner you were at risk. The partnership agreement required the majority vote, by ownership, of the partners to act.

More items will be added to this site, so check back frequently if you're interested. We thank you for your support and while this has been a financial disaster for all of us, including our firm. We still are glad that we helped defend.you and the partnership against the billions of dollars IRS was improperly claiming and the millions of dollars that the promoters attorneys were trying to take from you.
