Jack Idema is suing New York Magazine
New York Magazine and Stacy Sullivan, et al - which includes all the usual players -including Joe Cafasso; are being sued because of the horrendous article that appeared in New York Magazine entitled “Operation Desert Fraud”; and the use of stolen images. Interestingly, Joe Cafasso is nowhere to be found and he’s cleaned up his blog quite a bit. But he sure was arrogant and brazen when Idema was in prison. The same sources that Sullivan used were used by Mariah Blake in her piece at Columbia Journalism Review, entitled “Tin Soldier”.
I’ve written here extensively about Idema, so I’m quite familiar with the names involved, and the kinds of sickening tricks these people use to evade/escape and even twist the truth.
New York Magazine stole photos, but paid Polaris Images for others that were used in the article. The reason they didn’t pay Polaris for the stolen photos is because they’d obtained them through criminal conduct, the court documents say.
The defendants claimed in court documents that Idema’s case shouldn’t be granted an extension to serve- because they ran away from the process servers.
What’s even more ridiculous is this from the court documents:
Sullivan, Artis, Warrington, and Cafasso went through extraordinary measures to conceal their whereabouts since the events set forth in the complaint, using a variety of alias names, misleading company names, forwarded phone numbers, and other methods of concealment.
What’s revealing also is that Stacy Sullivan now works for the infamous George Soros outfit, Human Rights Watch, and HRW covered for her in her attempts to evade the process servers.
What they did was order the photographs from Polaris images retroactively in February of 2008 and received the photos in March of 2008, in order to circumvent legal action for the publication of the stolen images back in October of 2004.
From what I gather from these documents, all defendants refused to have a statement taken under oath; and this, after they tried to evade the process servers.
Todd Robberson’s attorney really took the cake when he accused Idema of attempting to serve him in a synagogue during services on a Saturday, when in fact it was during his speech to a men’s club on a Sunday!!!
It’s amazing the lies they tell and hope to get away with - even after all this time.
What they’d hoped was Idema was going to die in Pulacharke; and they were willing to gamble that he’d never be in a position to sue them.
Someone told me that they’ve totally underestimated Idema, that they assumed he’d never get out of there.
No sh*t.
