NY Alleged Multi-Billion $ Bogus Lien Racket Used In Intimidation, Extortion, Racket Against Local Officials, Say Plaintiffs In RICO Lawsuit

In Albany, New York, Courthouse News Service reports:

• Ulster County and three towns in New York say they're the targets of a multibillion-dollar revenge and extortion plot aimed at "disrupting the administration of local government," because a town issued two traffic tickets to the plot's alleged ringleader.

***

• The towns say the plot is revenge for two tickets that lead defendant Richard Enrique Ulloa received at a traffic stop in Rosendale, a rural town in Ulster County, in the Hudson Valley. Ulloa was sent to Ulster County Jail after failing to provide identification to Rosendale Town Justice Robert Vosper, a plaintiff in the case.(1)

• "Shortly thereafter, defendant Richard Ulloa began a pattern of harassment and attempted extortion towards plaintiffs, including, but not limited to, filing purported maritime liens and UCC statements containing fraudulent statements asserting that plaintiffs owed defendants amounts totaling several billion dollars," the complaint states. "The liens and UCC statements were not only fraud, but part of a course of intimidation by defendant Richard Ulloa" and others.(2)

***

• They demanded more than $2.8 billion from the plaintiffs through a myriad of phony criminal complaints and invoices, according to the complaint. Adding to Richard Ulloa's fury was the fact that "property owned by defendant Richard was the subject of a foreclosure proceeding venued in Ulster County," according to the complaint. "Ulloa attempted to file a purported 'deed' removing the foreclosing party's interest in his property. The Ulster County Clerk rejected the 'deed' offering."
