No, YOU besmirch the Marine Corps, faker coward Richard Russ

AUTHOR: Chris l - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, June 19, 2010

There you go again, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ, attacking innocent family members.  I know they didn't teach you that in the Marines.  I don't think you were EVER a Marine, because Marines attack only the enemy and not innocent civilians.  But if you were a Marine, let's see your DD-214.  Wonder if it'll show an other than honorable discharge?

No, I won't be disbarred, not now, not soon, not later, not ever.  Again, an admonishment is just that--a slap on the wrist, and that was the end of the case.  And the North Carolina Bar ASSOCIATION can't do anything to me, as you'd know if you paid attention to detail, Einstein.  But you don't, and that's yet more evidence that you were never a Marine, because Marines pay attention to detail.

Once again, you don't deny your wrongdoing and fraud and damage to innocent people, all so you could make a miserable few bucks, which are long gone by now.  Wonder what you're up to these days?  No doubt you're running some new sleazy debt elimination/modification fraud, without much success.  Any real employer would take one look at your resume, google "R&G Marketing," see that you decided to be a career criminal, and show you the door.

And you better find another hobby besides running your mouth on ROR, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ.  CCDN is dead and gone.  You lost.  Accept it.  Move on.  But you won't, and you'll be sorry.  People hate you because of what you did to them, and they'll find a way to bring justice to you, entirely legally.  Marines take responsibility for what they do.  You're just another keyboard kommando.  Come out and fight.  If you don't, it's because you know we're right, you're wrong, and you'll lose.

Christopher W Livingston crook

AUTHOR: Mark J. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, June 19, 2010

Christopher w Livingston is a soon to be disbarred lowlife lawyer who operates a shakedown criminal enterprise in which he files frivolous civil RICO class actions in the hopes that the sued party will crumble with fear and settle Livingston who has been admonished for unprofessional behavior. I did not realize I that chris Livingston is the son of the famous hog magnate until I hired a good PI and I plan on releasing a large amount of documents that demonstrate the pathetic life of this po little rich boy.

You see that is where Chris Livingston gets his pseudo strength from it is because his father is enormously wealthy and I am certain that pappy has had to bail out his retard son a few times for sure. By the way Chris you should not besmirch the Marine Corps, I am sure a rich boy like you wishes he could make it in the corps.....but I don't think so.

Coward Richard D. Russ attacks innocent family members again

AUTHOR: Chris l - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, June 16, 2010

And disgraces the Corps again.  See, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Richard Russ aka Rick Russ, you're the only one on your side.  Notice how you had nothing to say to the order, from a federal judge--and we know how you love federal judges--correctly finding that your scam is just that, a scam that destroys lives and property and damages honest creditors.  But you're not a bit sorry.  Is that what the Marines taught you--not to take responsibility for what you do but blame everybody else in the world?  I'm sure it wasn't.  I'm sure they also didn't teach you to hide like a coward when you could come out and fight and win, but that's what you're doing.  If I'm not telling the truth about you, then you have the same right of access to the courts as anybody else, and you know where to find me.  But you're just hiding in your cowardly hole.

So Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ, enjoy your miserable meaningless long life of fraud and crime.

Attack Methods

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Richard,

Your inability to argue your thoughts WITHOUT being extremely personal only shows that your thoughts on the actual subject are completely wrong.  If you are unable to try and argue your point without bringing unnecessary comments in to it, it only shows how desperate you are.

You're a crook, liar and fraud.  This comment is completely true, as shown by your "business ventures" and your comments above.

PS. And Yes, there is much you're able to find out by hiring a PI.

Christopher W Livingston

AUTHOR: Mark J. - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, June 11, 2010

What Christopher W Livingston says doesn't make sense.....Chris how can you be in good standing after having been admonished by the NC Bar Association?

Face facts Chris you are a pathological shakedown lawyer who files frivolous and defamatory complaints in the hope that you can bluff your way into a settlement.  You play with the law like someone might treat a hobby like playing bridge......except in your case without the necessary intellect.  You are a brazen sociopath because your old man is daddy warbucks of the famous Livingston family hog fortune.........it is as easy as hiring a private investigator.

Chris you should tell your old man to break out the check book because I have a feeling you are not only going to lose your license but the forensic accountant is going to show us just how judgment proof you are. Oh and one more thing....you wouldn't last 24 hours in the Marine Corps..lol.

Fear Based Posting, IT OOZES OF FEAR AND I AM GRATEFUL!

AUTHOR: Karma911 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, June 10, 2010

There is nothing frivolous or vexatious about the recent lawsuits Chris Livingston has filed. The lawsuits are by no means false or poorly presented. He is doing an excellent job protecting his clients and in doing so the overall well being of society as a whole. His is a strong attorney and not shaking down anyone. Hopefully bringing down, but legal and proper, as it should be.

This author is clearly fearful of that and I could not be happier that "fear" has been established. The reference to pork bellies seem to fit nicely...pork = pigs = squealing. Scared pigs squeal! There ya have it, a clear representation of the author.

Again, let me restate, Christopher Livingston is an excellent attorney.

Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ

AUTHOR: Chris l - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, June 09, 2010

You're such a coward, Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ, threatening my family. You're a fake claiming to have been a Marine. If you ever were, you're an absolute disgrace to the Corps. You've also been falsely claiming to have an Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters. Why don't you tell your (nonexistent) FBI friends about your criminal violations of the Stolen Valor Act? People go to jail for that.

My status with the State Bar is member in good standing. Look it up.

Well, Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ, since you lie about your capabilities to eliminate people's debt and conduct "forensic loan audits" and anything else you dream up to ruin people's lives, you must be lying about your FBI contacts too. You can have all the contacts at the local and state police you want. They won't save you from prosecution, and if they exist, then when they find out what a complete criminal you are, they'll turn on you as they do with all fakers and posers.

Oh, yeah, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ, did you see what U.S. District Judge Anderson did to your little racket? Here you go:

The court will conduct a damages hearing in June 2010, in order to ascertain Capital Ones damages and to enter a final default judgment.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA ROCK HILL DIVISION CAPITAL ONE BANK (USA), N.A., ) C/A No.: 0:08-2274-JFA ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. )) CAREFREE DEBT, INC. A/K/A ) PERMANENT INJUNCTION CDI, FEDERAL DEBT RELIEF ) SYSTEMS, CREDIT ) COLLECTIONS DEFENSE ) NETWORK, ELIZABETH ) SALAZAR, and SUZAN AZEREDO, ) ) Defendants. ) )

Plaintiff Capital One Bank (USA), N.A. (Capital One) commenced this action on June 19, 2008 (Dkt. No. 1). Defendant Credit Collections Defense Network (CCDN) waived service of the summons and complaint (Dkt. No. 21). All remaining defendants were properly served with the summons and complaint. On January 4, 2010, the clerk entered default as to defendant Federal Debt Relief Systems (Dkt. No. 83). On March 9, 2010, the clerk entered default as to CCDN (Dkt. No. 99). This matter came before the court on May 12, 2010, upon an Order and Rule to Show Cause against CCDN (Dkt. No. 108). CCDN failed to appeared at the hearing. Based upon CCDNs failure to appear, and the other corporate defendants failure to responsively plead or otherwise respond, the court directed the clerk to enter default against all corporate defendants. (Dkt. Nos. 108, 109). The court also granted Capital Ones request for injunctive relief. This order serves to memorialize and more fully set forth the courts rulings announced at the March 9, 2010 hearing. 0:08-cv-02274-JFA Date Filed 06/01/10 Entry Number 113 Page 1 of 5 2

I. Factual and Procedural Background Capital One brought this action in an effort to enjoin the defendants participation in a nationwide fraudulent credit counseling and debt relief service. As alleged in Capital Ones complaint and established by the defendants default, the defendants use television and internet advertisements to encourage individuals with debt problems to contact the defendants and explore opportunities allegedly provided by the defendants program. To participate in the program, individual debtors are required to sign a document entitled a Debt Termination Education Agreement where the individual agrees to make payments to the defendants and the defendants purport to educate the individual on the United States banking system and to assist the individuals with written communications to creditors, collections agencies, and attorneys in order to terminate the individuals unsecured debt obligations. The corporate defendants share clients and pass client information from one to the other, actually providing little or no useful services to their customers. Customers receive worthless literature regarding the banking system, are encouraged to stop making payments to their creditors, and are provided form pleadings in the event legitimate creditors commence debt-collection processes in court. In addition, the defendants have executed fraudulent documents, purporting to be acknowledgments from creditors, including Capital One, that individuals debts have been discharged. Typically, these documents are prepared on what appears to be the creditors letterhead and are signed by persons purporting to be authorized agents or officers of the creditor. These documents are then sent to credit reporting agencies in an effort to induce the credit reporting agency to cease its credit reporting concerning the consumers debt. 0:08-cv-02274-JFA Date Filed 06/01/10 Entry Number 113 Page 2 of 5 3

II. Discussion 1. Standard The district court may grant permanent injunctive relief where a plaintiff establishes: (1) that it has suffered an irreparable injury; (2) that remedies available at law, such as monetary damages, are inadequate to compensate for that injury; (3) that considering the balance of hardships between the plaintiff and defendant, a remedy in equity is warranted; and (4) that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. Palmetto Conservation Found. v. Smith, 642 F. Supp. 2d 518, 531 (D.S.C. 2009) (citing eBay, Inc. v. MercExchange, LLC, 547 U.S. 388, 391 (2006)). Furthermore, the Lanham Act allows the owner of a registered trademark whose rights have been knowingly and intentionally violated to obtain injunctive relief to prevent further violations. 15 U.S.C. 1116.

2. Capital One is Entitled to an Injunction The facts alleged in Capital Ones complaint, and established by the corporate defendants defaults, support the issuance of a permanent injunction. The corporate defendants fraudulent debt elimination scheme has deprived Capital One of business revenues, and will continue to do so in the future if not enjoined. The nature and full extent of Capital Ones future damages cannot be readily ascertained, because it is impossible to predict what ongoing damages Capital One may suffer if the corporate defendants activities were allowed to continue. Furthermore, the corporate defendants unlicensed and intentional misappropriation of Capital Ones registered trademark for use in the defendants scheme violates the Lanham Act, and entitles Capital One to a permanent injunction. A balancing of the relative hardships between Capital One and the corporate defendants weighs in 0:08-cv-02274-JFA Date Filed 06/01/10 Entry Number 113 Page 3 of 5 4 favor of Capital One. The public interest also supports the issuance of an injunction against the defendants.

The defendants Carefree, Federal Debt Relief Systems and CCDN, as well as the officers, agents, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns of each of the corporate defendants are permanently enjoined from engaging in any of the following activities: a. Publishing written or oral false, fraudulent, materially misleading or unsubstantiated declarations that any Capital One account holder has satisfied or closed his/her Capital One consumer credit account; b. Publishing any written or oral communications which may lead the recipient of such communication to believe that any one or more of the corporate defendants, or the officers, agents, employees, attorneys, successors or assigns of such defendants are authorized to take any action or make any representation on behalf of Capital One; c. Publishing any written or oral communications which may lead the recipient of such communication to believe that Capital One, or its authorized agents or assigns, is the publisher of such communications; d. Publishing any written or oral communications which may lead the recipient of such communication to believe that Capital One authorized the communications to be made on behalf of Capital One; e. Reproducing, imitating, incorporating, copying, disseminating, distributing or publishing in any form any of Capital Ones trademarks, logos, slogans, letterhead or trade dress. This prohibition includes any use of colorable imitations of Capital Ones registered trademarks which are likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or deceive; 0:08-cv-02274-JFA Date Filed 06/01/10 Entry Number 113 Page 4 of 5 5 f. Contacting, communicating with, and/or representing any customer in regards to a Capital One account; and g. Engaging in any conduct which constitutes the unauthorized practice of law.

III. Conclusion Because each corporate defendant is in default, the court hereby grants Capital Ones request for injunctive relief as set forth in its complaint and memorialized in this order. Within thirty days after the service of this injunction upon the defendants, each corporate defendant, Carefree, Federal Debt Relief Systems, and CCDN, shall file with the court and serve on Capital Ones attorney a report in writing, and under oath, setting forth in detail the manner and form in which it has complied with this injunction. Any violations of this injunction may be enforced by proceedings to punish for contempt, or otherwise, in this court, or by any other United States district court in whose jurisdiction the defendants may be found. See 15 U.S.C. 1116 (1982).

IT IS SO ORDERED. June 1, 2010 Joseph F. Anderson, Jr. Columbia, South Carolina United States District Judge 0:08-cv-02274-JFA Date Filed 06/01/10 Entry Number 113 Page 5 of 5

Still with us, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ? Wasn't that fun? Hey, that's the scam YOU used to sell! No wonder you're so mad at me, you criminal coward. You're out of business! Ha! Enjoy the bitter end of your scam, before you go to prison. You'll be all mad at us, of course, because you're nothing but a criminal and you blame everybody else in the world for your own wrongdoing. Enjoy the rest of your long, bitter, meaningless, miserable life, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ. Cherish those old pictures of what you could have been, but threw away because you love crime and evil and fraud and cowardice.

By the way, if you insist on cowardly dragging innocent people into this, you'll go to jail sooner than I thought. They don't have the internet there, Coward Richard D. Russ aka Rick Russ aka Richard Russ.
