Steven “Laser” Haas is the owner and
sole shareholder of Collateral Logistics Inc. (CLI) the firm which was retained
to oversee the liquidation of assets in the bankruptcy of eToys in 2001.
During the process of liquidating the
company Haas came across irregularities, unethical practices and outright
criminal acts originating from the top at Bain Capital (Mitt Romney’s asset
management firm), Goldman Sachs, Kay Bee Toys and Stage Stores, all of which
were involved in the machinations to sell eToys for mere pennies to Bain
through its interest in Kay Bee.
Haas
filed his suit under a provision of the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations) statute which allows a plaintiff to become a “Private Attorney
General” when it is necessary in order to address “Prosecutorial Gaps.”
According to Haas, that gap was created by Colm F. Connolly, former United
States Attorney in Delaware who had been a partner in the law firm of
Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell (MNAT) in 2001, alleging he had failed to
disclose that fact while also neglecting to investigate the complaints which
Haas had lodged.
Along
with Romney, Haas has named Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Michael Glazer Barry
Gold and Paul Traub in the suit. Haas has claimed that he has evidence that the
parties involved have committed perjury on 35 separate occasions — even
alleging that there have been murders carried out in attempts to cover up their
wrong doing.
His
$100 million suit is intended to recover some of the losses incurred by the
victims of the unethical and illegal actions of those involved in the chicanery
and who reaped handsome profits from the deal.
Haas
alleged in his affidavit to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 3, 2012 that after he had uncovered numerous irregularities, he had been
offered $850,000 by Bain to keep silent about what he had discovered.
When he attempted to report the bribe, he was told that since he had not
accepted it, he didn’t have a case. Bain of course denies that the offer was
ever made.
Haas has summarized the steps to
be taken in his suit:
- Summons granted.
- Request for a Court Order to have U.S. Marshals serve the summons.
- First amended complaint Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.
- New case order.
- Haas’s preliminary RICO case statement.

If Haas’ list of charges prove to be
backed up by the evidence, this could be one of the most interesting civil
trials in recent years.
No matter the outcome, there is little
question that just having this case make it into court will stain the
reputations of all involved permanently, including squeaky clean Mitt Romney —
the man whose moral convictions run so deep that he will not even drink coffee
or coke because they contain caffeine.
