Richard Luthmann Drops Bombs: On Stand With Meg he calls Family Courts RICO-style rackets built on secrecy, silence, and extortion.

Richard Luthmann Drops Bombs on Broken Family Courts in ‘Stand With Meg’ Appearance

    Richard Luthmann stormed onto Stand With Meg and set the place ablaze. The former Staten Island attorney turned investigative journalist tore into the family court racket with blunt force. He called the system a “legalized extortion ring” that chews up families and enriches insiders. Host Meghann Miller—herself a mother stripped of her children—joined in exposing how courts, CPS, and guardians collude in secrecy. Luthmann, who once survived a political takedown and four years in prison, declared: “Family court is the civil rights issue of our time.” His mission is clear: torch the darkness and drag corruption into daylight.

    Timely Fashion

      Connecticut’s criminal justice circus has collapsed into the absurd. Judge Peter Brown, instead of addressing constitutional violations, now demands legal arguments over the meaning of “timely fashion.” Prosecutor Jack Doyle, earning $215,000 a year, can’t even file charges in the correct district, yet insists due process rights simply “expire.” Brown, described by critics as a “trained ape for his masters,” repeatedly refuses to specify the supposed criminal speech at issue. Protected political expression is rebranded as “stalking,” and the judiciary plays along. The case now hinges on semantics, not law—proof of a judiciary independent of justice itself.

      Family Court Free Press: Wall Street dad Dave Weigel and journalist Richard Luthmann expose corruption, betrayal, and “journalistic treason.”

      Family Court Free Press Showdown: Wall Street Dad and Firebrand Journo Expose “Treason” in the System

        Wall Street whistleblower Dave Weigel and firebrand journalist Richard Luthmann are teaming up to blow the lid off America’s family court racket. Together with the Family Court Fraud Warrior Project, they accuse the system of systemic dishonesty, judicial corruption, and “journalistic treason.” Weigel calls Luthmann “a rare bird” with the guts to publish names and faces the mainstream media won’t touch. Their exposés have shifted power dynamics, sparked outrage, and ignited reform. But the fight has fractured reformers, with California journalist Susan Bassi accused of betraying victims by burying stories. The stakes are clear: Is press freedom already dead in family court?

        Boyne's Connecticut Justice Fraud: Gag orders, illegal raids, and judicial cover-ups in a First Amendment battle shaking the state system.

        Boyne’s Connecticut Justice Fraud

          Connecticut blogger and journalist Paul Boyne has become the unlikely face of America’s First Amendment fight. Prosecutor Jack Doyle’s two-page gag motion to muzzle Boyne ignited a firestorm, barring him from publishing his own discovery. On The Unknown Podcast, Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe shredded the move as unconstitutional overreach. Boyne accused Governor Ned Lamont’s agents of staging an illegal raid and claimed ex-Justice Joette Katz secretly pulled strings. His lawyer, Todd Bussert, offered only a half-hearted fight. Boyne calls it “pretend justice” — a system that tramples speech and proves Connecticut no longer honors the First Amendment.

          Pretend Justice Exposed

            Connecticut’s so-called “justice system” is rotting from within, and Jack Doyle is Exhibit A. Paid $215,000 a year, the New Haven State’s Attorney pretends to be a prosecutor, pretends to be a lawyer, pretends to honor the Constitution—but in reality, he’s a puppet for political bosses and outside agendas. Critics say Doyle has weaponized the courts to muzzle speech, crush dissent, and protect the powerful. From illegal warrants to gag orders, from family court tyranny to free press crackdowns, Doyle plays the role of sovereign protector while trampling the very rights he swore to uphold.

            Killer Family Courts?

              Arizona’s Capitol shook on August 27, 2025, as Senator Mark Finchem and Representative Rachel Keshel led a searing hearing into family court corruption. Parents and whistleblowers exposed judges ignoring abuse, DCS tearing families apart, and a billion-dollar custody racket enriching lawyers and evaluators. Kathy Sherlock recounted how her daughter Kayden was murdered after a judge forced unsupervised visits. Danielle Pollock warned of nationwide dangers while pushing Kayden’s Law. Attorney Michael Moore exposed the “legal cartel” feeding off families’ pain. From burned homes to murdered children, the testimony was brutal. Finchem and Keshel vowed Arizona would lead the national reform fight.

              Mainstream Media’s Journalistic Treason: The Family Court Cover‑Up

                Family courts across America operate like rackets, not courts. Judges, lawyers, and guardians exploit families for profit, hiding behind vague doctrines and sealed files. The media plays its part, parroting “no evidence” of fraud while ignoring thousands of families who scream otherwise. Whistleblowers call it a “business model of fraud” and “designer child trafficking.” Elected officials like Mark Finchem and Rachel Keshel in Arizona, Tammy Nichols in Idaho, and reformers like Dave Weigel in New York, Rabbi Jacob Bellinski in Colorado, and Matt Grant in Missouri are pushing back. But mainstream journalists, often aligned with trial lawyers and donor-class interests, have betrayed the public trust. Critics call this betrayal: Journalistic Treason.

                Prosecutor Jackaz’s Gag Motion Ignites Constitutional Firestorm

                  State Attorney John “Jack” Doyle’s August 22 motion against journalist Paul Boyne has set off a constitutional firestorm. Doyle wants to ban Boyne from possessing or sharing discovery—even redacted—with the press. Critics call it an unprecedented gag that shreds the First Amendment. Boyne, once editor of The Family Court Circus, labels Doyle “Jackaz” and accuses him of covering up judicial corruption. Even Connecticut’s own constitution promises citizens the right to “freely speak, write and publish.” Now Doyle’s bid to silence Boyne has become a national litmus test: can America tolerate unpopular voices, or will Connecticut muzzle them?

                  Christopher Ambrose's Fraudulent Script: fake poverty, hidden assets, custody court abuse, and a federal fraud affidavit exposed.

                  Christopher Ambrose’s Fraudulent Script: Family Court, Federal Court, and Fake Poverty

                    Christopher Ambrose plays victim while living large. The ex-TV writer seized custody of three children through family court maneuvering, then claimed financial ruin in federal court. Court filings show him hiding assets, underreporting rent, and transferring money into secret accounts while his ex-wife was left homeless. Now, Ambrose sues Dr. Bandy Lee, who scored him a chilling 32 out of 40 on the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. Ambrose calls her a liar. His affidavit tells another story. From a $2.2 million beach house to “broke” in front of a judge, Ambrose’s script is finally unraveling.

                    Matt Grant’s War: St. Louis lawyer launches RICO and civil rights lawsuit alleging Missouri family court runs like a “Family Court Mafia.”

                    Matt Grant’s War on Missouri Family Court Corruption

                      St. Louis attorney Matt Grant has declared war on Missouri’s family court machine. On The Unknown Podcast Episode 52, he exposed a “Family Court Mafia” of judges, lawyers, and guardians ad litem he says operate like a racketeering enterprise. Backed by a 170-page RICO and civil rights lawsuit, Grant alleges retaliation, extortion, and secret deals designed to profit from custody battles. He calls it a civil rights fight for families silenced by corruption. “They took my children away completely… for exposing Hilton as the ring-leader of corruption,” he charged. His website, StopMissouriCorruption.com
                      , posts the evidence.

                      TORTURE IN INDIANA: Kids Forced Back to Abusive Dad

                        Indiana family court is under fire after Judge Alicia Gooden is forcing three children back into the hands of their abusive father, Nicolas Shaffer, through controversial “reunification therapy.” Despite the kids’ desperate cries—“I hate him… he’s ruined my life”—the court-appointed therapist Lauren Glanders has punished them for resisting, grounding them for refusing visits. Advocates like Jill Jones Soderman call it “sanctioned torture.” Neurologist Dr. S. Gregory Hipskind issued a medical order banning forced contact, warning of severe trauma. Still, the court presses forward. Critics say this is less therapy and more a cash-fueled industry of abuse.

                        Colorado Records Rat: Rabbi Bellinsky says smoking gun email damns Colorado’s top court administrator in perjury records scandal.

                        Colorado Records Rat?: Steven Vasconcellos

                          Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky, fresh off a landmark Tenth Circuit victory, is now battling Colorado’s top judicial administrator over public records. In a Denver courtroom, Bellinsky accuses State Court Administrator Steven Vasconcellos of perjury for swearing “no records exist” about judicial misconduct complaints. Emails tell a different story. One August 2024 email assured Bellinsky complaints were “actively investigated.” Another November 2024 email admitted a misconduct memo was “completed back in August” but withheld for five months. Bellinsky says these contradictions prove a cover-up. He calls it “a constitutional emergency.” The case could force unprecedented transparency—or validate systemic concealment.

                          Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason

                            A bitter feud has erupted inside the family court reform movement, now dubbed “Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason.” Once hailed as a transparency crusader, California journalist Susan Bassi stands accused of betraying protective parents by torpedoing the case of Julie Holburn, a mother fighting to expose abuse and corruption in Orange County. Richard Luthmann, Michael Volpe, and Family Court Fraud Warrior Project leader Dave Weigel have blasted Bassi as a turncoat protecting the very system she once vowed to fight. The fallout has sparked a civil war, leaving the reform movement fractured and Bassi’s credibility under fire.

                            Unhinged Ambrose Floods Court with baseless lawsuits against critics. Will CT Judge Nagala finally stop suspended lawyer's courtroom circus?

                            Unhinged Ambrose Floods Courts with Baseless Lawsuits

                              Christopher Ambrose, once an NYU-trained lawyer and Hollywood writer, has morphed into Connecticut’s most notorious vexatious litigant. Suspended and disgraced, Ambrose now clogs federal courts with frivolous lawsuits targeting anyone who dares expose him. His latest filings against Dr. Bandy Lee and journalist Frank Parlato showcase a pattern of weaponizing the legal system with rambling, baseless complaints. From seizing his ex-wife’s inheritance and custody of their children to suing critics with invented claims, Ambrose thrives on abuse of process. The question: why do Connecticut’s courts still enable his psychopathic crusade?

                              Christopher Ambrose Affidavit Lies: Claims poverty from a $2.2M beach house. Lies on rent, SNAP, and dependents could trigger perjury charge.

                              Christopher Ambrose Affidavit Lies: Claiming Poverty From a $2.2M Beach House

                                Christopher Ambrose’s poverty plea doesn’t match reality. The former TV writer swore under oath he was broke—so broke he begged a federal judge to waive a $405 filing fee. But Ambrose filed his affidavit from a $2.2 million beachfront rental in Madison, Connecticut. He claimed $2,450 rent when his signed lease shows $3,750. He listed adult children as dependents who had already left school and home. He claimed ignorance of SNAP benefits while records show he’d been on them for months. His affidavit reads less like hardship and more like fraud. Now, perjury charges could follow.

                                Title IV-D Fraud: SC clerks indicted for stealing funds reveal a statewide child support cash-for-enforcement racket.

                                Title IV-D Fraud: South Carolina’s Child Support “Incentive” Program or Judicial Slush Fund?

                                  The federal Title IV-D child support program was designed to help children, not line officials’ pockets. But in South Carolina, indictments against former clerks Sharon Staggers and Becky Hill expose a darker reality — federal “incentive” dollars fueling corruption. Prosecutors say Staggers siphoned $120,000 and Hill misused $20,000, both from Title IV-D funds. Critics argue the program rewards aggressive enforcement, inflated orders, and contempt threats — turning child support into a cash machine for courts and agencies. For fathers like William Sewell, these revelations raise serious questions about whether profit, not justice, drives family court decisions.

                                  Chris Ambrose Abused Me: Mia Ambrose, 19, details abuse of her and her brothers. Courts ignored her pleas as he sues those who told the truth.

                                  Psychopath Or Just Broke?

                                    Christopher Ambrose, once a successful TV writer, is now suing psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee for defamation. Lee’s report labeled him a “full-blown psychopath” based on interviews with his children and others. Ambrose, accused of emotional and sexual abuse by his kids, now claims he’s broke—filing for a federal fee waiver to avoid paying $405 in court costs. Judge Sarala V. Nagala denied his bid to keep his finances sealed, making his affidavit public. The irony? Ambrose once left his ex-wife destitute. If his sworn statement contains lies, he could face perjury charges—over a lawsuit he may not even afford.

                                    Bigger Bitch Susan Bassi? Luthmann wonders whether the California Reporter is a bigger bitch than Kyle's mom on South Park after Holburn snub.

                                    Bigger Bitch Susan Bassi? Bigger Than Kyle’s Mom?

                                      A no-holds-barred media war has erupted between California’s Susan Bassi and Florida “tough guy” journalist Richard Luthmann. The flashpoint: Bassi’s refusal to cover Julie Holburn’s harrowing family court abuse case, despite years of following it and viewing raw evidence. Luthmann accuses Bassi of hypocrisy, DARVO tactics, and being compromised by Chinese Communist Party-linked TikTok funding. Bassi fired back, attacking Luthmann’s ethics and dismissing his journalism. Luthmann responded with a formal Florida Statute 770.01 litigation notice, daring her to set foot in Florida. The feud has gone public — and personal — with reputations, credibility, and serious corruption allegations all on the line.

                                      Costa Mesa Cops Stonewall: PD hiding public records tied to journalist Julie Holburn’s corruption probe into Orange County family courts.

                                      Costa Mesa Cops Stonewall Reporter on Court Corruption Files

                                        Costa Mesa Police are hiding something. Investigative journalist Julie M. Anderson-Holburn says they’re stonewalling her public records request in a case tied directly to her explosive reporting on Orange County family court corruption. Holburn requested police reports contradicting court claims made by high-powered attorney David Monarch. But the cops won’t release a word—citing “privacy” and ignoring their obligations under California law. Critics say it’s retaliation for Holburn’s journalism. CMPD’s excuses have sparked national outrage. “They’re using every loophole to keep those reports in the dark,” says Holburn. Now she’s going public—again. Costa Mesa may have picked the wrong journalist to cross.

                                        Secret Custody Orders, Rogue GALs, and Corruption dominate Idaho Family Court Reform at the Child Custody and Domestic Relations Task Force.

                                        Secret Custody Orders, ‘Rogue GALs’ Under Fire at Idaho Family Court Hearing

                                          Idaho’s Child Custody and Domestic Relations Task Force heard explosive testimony on July 31 about family court failures that destroy families. Witnesses described secret custody orders, unaccountable “rogue GALs,” and a “cash-for-conflict” court system that enriches lawyers while bankrupting parents. Lawmakers, including Sen. Tammy Nichols and Rep. Heather Scott, vowed reform. Arizona Rep. Rachel Keshel demanded jury trials in custody cases and denounced judicial bias. Parents accused courts of weaponizing “parental alienation” and ignoring abuse. GAL Kacey Wall defended the system, while critics said she embodies the problem. Nichols pledged reform is coming: “If there’s a pattern, we’re going to act.”
