Rodolphus Allen Family Private Trust
The Rodolphus Allen Family Private Trust is a group, which purports to be a property trust, operating in Ireland. While supporters of the group's methods have stated that it can exploit loopholes in mortgage documents to prevent the takeover of at-risk properties from bank repossession, a number of politicians, financial advisors and legal commentators have warned that the group's purpose is to scam investors and embezzle funds while claiming to place the property into a non-existent 'trust'. The group was set up by Charles Allen, a Kilkenny based landscape gardener. It is neither registered as a company nor as a charity in the Republic of Ireland or in any way registered with any financial regulatory body. The group's operations have been labelled as "legal nonsense" in the High Court, as a "massive fraud and a scam" in Dáil Éireann, as having the "hallmarks of scam" by a senator in Seanad Éireann, and as "predatory behaviour on vulnerable debtors" by the Irish Mortgage Holde ...

Trust Law
A trust is a legal relationship in which the holder of a right gives it to another person or entity who must keep and use it solely for another's benefit. In the Anglo-American common law, the party who entrusts the right is known as the "settlor", the party to whom the right is entrusted is known as the "trustee", the party for whose benefit the property is entrusted is known as the " beneficiary", and the entrusted property itself is known as the "corpus" or "trust property". A ''testamentary trust'' is created by a will and arises after the death of the settlor. An ''inter vivos trust'' is created during the settlor's lifetime by a trust instrument. A trust may be revocable or irrevocable; an irrevocable trust can be "broken" (revoked) only by a judicial proceeding. The trustee is the legal owner of the property in trust, as fiduciary for the beneficiary or beneficiaries who is/are the equitable owner(s) of the trust property. Trustees thus have a fiduciary duty to manage th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Revenue Commissioners
The Revenue Commissioners ( ga, Na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim), commonly called Revenue, is the Irish Government agency responsible for customs, excise, taxation and related matters.

The Revenue Commissioners are responsible to the Minister for Finance. Overview Revenue consists of a chairman and two commissioners, all of whom have the status of secretary general as used in Departments of State.

Confidence Tricksters
A confidence trick is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust. Confidence tricks exploit victims using their credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, confidence, irresponsibility, and greed. Researchers have defined confidence tricks as "a distinctive species of fraudulent conduct ..intending to further voluntary exchanges that are not mutually beneficial", as they "benefit con operators ('con men') at the expense of their victims (the 'marks')". Terminology Synonyms include con, confidence game, confidence scheme, ripoff, scam, and stratagem. The perpetrator of a confidence trick (or "con trick") is often referred to as a confidence (or "con") man, con-artist, or a "grifter". The shell game dates back at least to Ancient Greece. Samuel Thompson (1821–1856) was the original "confidence man". Thompson was a clumsy swindler who asked his victims to express confidence in him by giving him money or their watch rather than gaining their confidenc ...

Strawman Theory
The strawman theory (also called the strawman illusion) is a pseudolaw, pseudolegal conspiracy theory originating in the redemption movement, redemption/A4V movement and prevalent in Anti-statism, antigovernment and tax protester movements such as sovereign citizens and freeman on the land movement, freemen on the land. The theory holds that an individual has two personas, one of flesh and blood and the other a separate legal personality (i.e., the "strawman"). The idea is that an individual's legal responsibilities belong to the strawman rather than the physical individual. Pseudolaw advocates claim that it is possible, through the use of certain "redemption" procedures and documents, to separate oneself from the "strawman", therefore becoming free of the rule of law. Hence, the main use of strawman theory is in escaping and denying liabilities and legal responsibility. Tax protesters, "commercial redemption" and "get out of debt free" scams claim that one's debts and taxes are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
