L.A. City News - TOP STORIES on L.A. City Hall Fraud, Waste & Abuse (Part 1 of a Never Ending Series...)

[PICTURED: When LA City News blogger, Zuma Dogg, worked in radio/record industry, he used to spend a lot of hours waiting backstage, in "green rooms." Now, he's living "Twilight Zone," episode, stuck inside a similar venue...ZD's blogging/karaoke/disco-show studio/apartment. (Has same feel/layout as most arena backstage "green rooms.") He can't go outside, anymore, so he sits around listening to 70's & 80's music, while tweeting away the day to all the L.A. City corruption that has permeated his brain, till he went permanently insane. Here's what it looks like.]

Zuma Dogg has been cranky with L.A. City Hall, recently, more so than ever, since I suffer from a degenerate (as in "progressive") condition.

And as the days turn to weeks; into months; into years...now going on SIX years, Uncle MC Zuma Dogg has luxury of historic perspective -- and the blogging keeps getting more intense and condensed, as time progresses.

In other words, I think the content on this page (the links to stories from past week, and the headliner on "History of Pension Fraud," posted below,) is just about the WORST NIGHTMARE for any involved parties at L.A. City Hall.

YOU FUCK WITH ME...I FUCK WITH YOU!!! (So to the readers...TRUST ME, when I say, this is the hardest, wild pitch to the side of the batter's helmet as six years of round-the-clock, hardcore investigation of L.A. City Hall corruption, based on insider info, will allow for me to post.

HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. Maybe Martin Scorcese wants to turn it into his next Deniro/Pesci mob film, A la: "Goodfellas." Or maybe a follow up to "Chinatown." Nicholson would be GREAT!

AND NOW, on with the countdown. On American Top 40, I'm Casey Kasem. And, we're up to the NUMBER ONE municipal caper in U.S. history. Countless billions and billions of State and City pension dollars, lost to fraud, at the hands of billionaire and millionaire connected political insiders. It's got all the makings of a Martin Scorcese script, or fodder for a "Godfather IV" script. Or a "Soprano's" movie for the big screen. Maybe Al Pacino can reprise his role as "Scareface" to portray the Mayor of Los Angeles in this corruption thriller. But for now, here's local L.A. legend, Zuma Dogg, speaking with former Wetherly Captial inside consultant, explaining the history of the biggest white collar crime, ever..."The History of California Pension Fraud." On American Top 40, I'm Casey Kasem:



BRIEF VIDEO OF ZD'S WETHERLY CAPITAL SOURCE IN INTERVIEW ABOVE:



STARTING POINT FOR NEW "PENSION FRAUD" READERS: FBI: Here's Mayor Villaraigosa...PENSION FRAUD 101 - An Introduction

Since Zuma Dogg began blogging about California Pension Fraud, as described in radio show and blog posts above, Elliot Broidy (Wetherly Captial Crony/Villaraiogosa-appointed pension commissioner is in PRISON for pension fraud; as is Wetherly Capital's Julio Ramirez, Jr. And Wetherly Capital has been SHUT DOWN FOREVER by Andrew Cuomo with deals taken by Wetherly Capital's Dan Weinstein & Vicky Schiff (along with $1 million dollar fines). Currently, Al Villalobos is under SEC (Federal) investigation; and California Pension Fund is under SEC/Federal investigation. (The first time a municipality is being investigated in U.S. history.)
YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA! I take FULL CREDIT FOR MAKING ALL OF THIS HAPPEN..as I not only blogged about this; but picked up the phone and made calls to people...like the people who put these assholes in jail.

THIS IS THE BLUEPRINT FOR PENSION FRAUD: It is Andrew Cuomo's NY AG report on his bust. Names the guilty parties, their cronies and details the illegal tricks of the trade they were trying to get away with. THE SCREENPLAY FOR THE MOVIE SCRIPT!: EXCLUSIVE: Read TEXT of New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo In The Matter Of Wetherly Capital (PENSION SCANDAL!)

FBI INVESTIGATIONS ALSO into L.A. Housing Department's Rent Escrow Program (REAP), Building & Safety (Bribes), Pensions (as mentioned), among other areas, as LA Times reports, "FBI says investigation into L.A. City Hall will go as wide and high as needed." ("as high" would be the mayor's office.)

HOPE YOU FEEL YOUR ILLEGAL FEDERAL VIOLATIONS OF ZUMA DOGG WAS WORTH IT! And I'm glad Eric Garcetti said the city attorney has PLENTY of money budgeted to keep dragging Zuma Dogg's settlement out.

Dear Obama,

Your middle name may be "Hussein," but please don't be IN-SANE! SEND MORE FBI AGENTS FROM D.C. to L.A., on a one-way, without delay, cause the corruption on the treasury, it has eaten away, in a giant, and historic way. (I'm friends with Run-DMC, as you can see.)

Barack, my man...here's the problem: Over the past few years, the City of Los Angeles and State of California has lost BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars...NOT JUST of your Federal Stimulus Money (used to back-fill, previous budget messes, instead of creating NEW jobs/you got bamboozled by Villaraiogsa) --

BUT THE PRIMARY REASON I AM CONTACTING YOU VIA THIS EXCLUSIVE BLOG POST:

PENSION FRAUD! Billions were lost at both the city and state level, and the result is the city and state can no longer afford to operate in a manner the United States is accustomed to. BUT EVEN WORSE, I honesty do feel, it's becoming a real NATIONAL HOMELAND SECURITY ISSUE!!! THE CITY AND STATE IS BECOMING TOO BROKE TO ENFORCE ITSELF!

AND NEXT YEAR WILL BE WORSE, WHEN THE 2013 BUDGET KICKS IN!

You may know that in New York State, Andrew Cuomo was able to take a nice bite out of pension crime, with his hard and decent work. But in California, it's a different story.

While these "Crimes of the Century," (WHICH THEY ARE, because the municipal pension funds are the biggest hunk of cash outside of Bernakie's money printing machine, so the losses make it the biggest fraud crime in U.S. history!), now Governor Jerry Brown was California Attorney General. He didn't do squat, cause he goes to the weddings and bat mitzvahs of the people facilitating the crimes. (The people who run the capital equity firms that have been backing his political career, since he was dating Linda Ronstadt.)

Then there is Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley. Well, it's hard for him to bust pension crime, when the number one KINGPIN in the ENTIRE COUNTY is Supervisor Gloria Molina. So SHE won't let the D.A. make a move.

And current CA Attorney General Kamala Harris dated San Fran KINGPIN Willie Brown, and she's on the same team as the rest of the corruption crew

SO FBI AGENTS ARE YOU ONLY HOPE, MR. PRESIDENT.

BILLIONS WERE LOST (-20% of fund) IN WHAT LACERS (L.A. City Employee Retirement System/Pension Fund) EXECS had to admit, "were invested in overly-risky, non-investment grade, "alternative investments." That's kinda like one guy saying, "Hey, give me $100 million in pension money, and I'll give you $15 million back, and if we lose it all, WHO CARES? WE GOT PAID, and the general fund pays back the pension fund. LOSE-WIN!"

AND RECENTLY, Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension (LAFPP) Chief Michael Perez, went on the record to say, "The consultant report and audit said the city should have ZERO (0) dollars invested in "alternative investments," on Wall Street and in real estate, but we don't agree and are heavily invested in alternative investments."

SO IT'S STILL AT RISK...AND THERE IS NO MORE BOTTOM TO FALL THROUGH!!!

VILLARAIGOSA IS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE HE IS DESPERATE!!!

HURRY UP!!!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

LOSING YOUR RE-ELECTION, CAUSE THINGS ARE SO BAD?

Very Truly Yours,

Have someone contact me if you need me to help connect the dots.

HERE I AM EXPLAINING IT ALL IN ONE MINUTE. And Barack, notice how when someone is speaking on camera and they know the topic of which they speak, a teleprompter is not needed. (Or maybe that's just because I'm the greatest improv comedian/public speaker, in human history; now, focused on political corruption, so it comes out like the "Midas Touch," each and every time. Call Tony Robbins to teach you. He's the one that taught me. You're probably not as good as ZD, in the first place, but maybe he can help you be a little more like ZD, in the "Public Speaking & Overall Excellence" Department! Dr. Deming praised my work, as did Robbins.)

Zuma Dogg's Question For L.A.'s Blogging Budget Activists (Regarding LACERS - City Pension Fund)

[City of Los Angeles announces it's giving an old ambulance away, or spend $50,000 for something nutty=TALK SHOW HOST & BLOGGERS GO NUTS! City announces BILLIONS LOST in shady, "overly-risky, non-investment grade" Wall Street investments that people went to jail over=CRICKETS! (What a bunch of nutty, Jerry Springer audience members these hot air budget bloggers are.)]

In 2007, I started to notice that LACERS (L.A. City Employee Retirement System) had money invested in some shady real estate projects, that I stumbled upon, while researching the "Grand Avenue Project" for an article I wrote for L.A. Weekly.

I've told the story, many times, how upon the discovery (that pension money was being invested in this shady, bogus project that I felt had ZERO chance of getting off the ground), I started to ponder the idea of investing pension money (the most sacred of investment money, that I thought was supposed to be in "safe/non-risky" investments), invested in something so speculative and risky as Grand Ave Project.

Then further investigation, raised further ZD flags, at the same time I became increasingly concerned over the effects that the global economy would be having on Wall Street, in light of "subprime loans" that I felt would be triggering a recession, that I noted would be the worst thing we've seen in our lives, unless you are old enough to remember the Great Depression.

Sure enough, subprime loans triggered a recession, and Wall Street crashed over it all in '08.

We are all aware of the effects that this economic slide has had on not only business, but on municipalities, like the City of Los Angeles.

The bottom seems to have fallen out of the city's budget -- as they have already decimated staff, departments and are seeing the negative results throughout the city in the form of city departments that can't accommodate the city's work load. Things like the city attorney not being able to prosecute cases, mechanics not being able to service emergency response vehicles...and the reduction of services will be felt at a more intense level, next year.

A couple years ago, as the city was first beginning to discuss this economic and budget mess (still not a crisis in the mind of City Council, yet, but time to start getting to the bottom of things and figure it out...again, a couple years ago...and they are still trying to sort it out, this week), the CAO staff was called into council chambers to do what they were trying to avoid at all costs: HAVE A REPORT FROM THE CAO AS TO THE SHAPE OF THE CITY FINANCES ON LIVE TV 35, with the whole city watching, including Zuma Dogg.

What the CAO said was that the reason the city had to take drastic measures, immediately, was because the city lost billions (up to $7 billion) in "overly-risky, non-investment grade Wall Street and real estate investments." (They are called, "Alternative Investments." And Andrew Cuomo threw Julio Ramirez & Elliot Broidy in jail over it and shut down Wetherly Capital FOR LIFE, over the New York State "Alt Investment" scam, RUN BY THE PEOPLE HERE IN L.A., that mayor Antonio Villaraigosa appointed to the LACERS (and other boards) as commissioners. DO YOU THINK NOTHING SHADY HAPPENED IN LOS ANGELES, after losing 20% of the fund in what the city's experts say were lost in "alternative investments?"

THEN, the CAO adds, "And the way the system is set up, the losses have to be covered by the city, out of the general fund." (Unlike YOUR retirement fund, if they LOSE, who cares...the return is guaranteed by YOU and the city taxpayers, right out of the same general fund used for fire, police, trash, roads, parks, libraries, all city staff, all services, all everything.

AND TO REALLY HIT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH THE IMPACT THESE "ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT" LOSSES HAD ON THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND...CAN IT BE ANY MORE CLEAR IF I TOLD YOU, a LACERS member told me the mayor twists their arm to invest in "alt investments," and one of the high level CAO's (don't wanna say which one, specifically, for their own good) PERSONALLY TOLD ME, FACE TO FACE, THAT IT IS THESE SHADY ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS THAT IS THE REASON WE ARE IN THIS SINKING BUDGET BOAT!!! (It is NOT because of structural, overly-generous payroll and pension that is ALSO an issue...BUT AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS THE FUTURE. THAT IS NOT WHY WE ARE CUTTING AND REDUCING EVERYTHING....we would still be able to kick that down the road, without much boat rocking....THE REASON IT IS "GO TIME/CRISIS TIME" IS BECAUSE THE 20% LOSS HAS TO BE COVERED OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND!!!!!!!!!!

I did some research on the LACERS web site, and found they did indeed lose -20% of the entire LACERS pension fund in '08-'09, when they promised a +8% return. (OOPS, just a tad off!)

Then, late last year, I was watching a report from the LACERS staff, before council for a discussion, and Tony Perez of LACERS was responding to a consulting report on LACERS practices. He noted that he didn't have a problem with the report, but he took issue with the point, that he even noted other consultants agree, the city is overly-invested in "alternative investments." AGAIN, ALL THE PENSION CONSULTANTS HAVE NOTED THAT THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES IS OVERLY INVESTED IN ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS.

Tony Perez of LACERS disagrees. WHAT DOES HISTORY TELL YOU. And if the market "adjusts" again, like it did in '08...and I think we ALL AGREE IT IS DUE FOR AN "ADJUSTMENT," the city will be pulled into bankruptcy like an anvil tossed over a cliff, if the market "adjusts down."

THE CAO TOLD ME...AS GOES WALL STREET GOES THE CITY'S GENERAL FUND!!!!

I AM NOT PONTIFICATING ON THIS STUFF...IT IS NOT MY OPINION...I AM ONLY BLOGGING WHAT THE CITY'S LACERS & CAO SAID...ON THE RECORD...ON TV 35.

Ask L.A. Times David Zanhiser. He said, at the bottom of a column, on a slow news Saturday that the reason the city was in this budget crisis was due in large part to the Wall Street loses during the peak of the recession: "When Villaraigosa took office in 2005, public safety pension and retirement healthcare benefits consumed 4.4% of the general fund, which pays for basic services such as police, parks and recreation programs. That figure reached 9% this year and is expected to reach nearly 20% in 2015, budget analysts said."

Much of that growth has been attributed to plummeting investment returns in the city's public safety pension system during the recent recession. - LA TIMES/Feb 2011 (As in all the PENSION FRAUD as blogged by Zuma Dogg in '07, '08 & '09, as it was happening.)

AND IN FEBRUARY 2011 it was announced by the SEC and U.S. Attorney's Office that there is an investigation into California Pension Funds!!! Adding, this is the first time EVER that the SEC is investigating something other than a Wall Street/Fortune 500/Business and the first time they are investigating a state municipality. DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT IS!?!?! FIRST TIME, EVER!!!! OVER THIS ISSUE!!! (Sorry it's not over your neighborhood council rollover funds. If they didn't lose this money in Wall Street, your dumb NC budget wouldn't be an issue.)

So my question is: With so many arm chair budget experts on the blogosphere like Paul Hatfield, Ron Kaye, Jack Humphriville and even mi amigo talk show host Kevin James...

HOW COME YOU ALL REFUSE TO MENTION THIS ISSUE EVEN FOR ONE SECOND, OR EVEN FOR ONE PARAGRAPH? Seems kinda nutty? You'll talk about some $50,000 thing, or even a $500,000 project or $5 million (whatever.) STILL CHUMP CHANGE TO BILLIONS AND BILLIONS THIS ISSUE CONCERNS. AND THIS IS THE CAUSE OF ALL YOUR OTHER BUDGETARY PROBLEMS AND CUTS!?!?! I have third degree burn from all that nutty demagogue hot air.
