They Took Everything.Then Made Sure He Couldn't Fight Back.

The government seized over $150 million in assets and claims. They froze every account. Then they prosecuted a man for conduct the Supreme Court explicitly ruled legal in 2008. Once they took everything, admitting error became impossible — unwinding the seizures, vacating the orders, acknowledging the prosecution should never have happened. The cost of correction grew every month. So instead of justice, they chose cover-up.

Four years later, Joseph Cammarata sits in federal prison. No court has ruled on his appeals. No judge has explained why binding Supreme Court precedent doesn't apply. The Third Circuit has ignored unopposed motions for 21 months. The Constitution exists on paper — they follow none of it.

This is what happens when prosecutors have unbridled power and judges choose self-preservation over justice. The failure isn't one bad actor — it's every level of the federal judiciary, from the District Court to the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court, refusing to do what the Constitution demands: decide cases. They stay silent because the truth would unravel everything. This website exists because sunlight is the only disinfectant left.

The Central Legal Question
Can you be convicted of fraud for conduct that the Supreme Court has explicitly ruled is legal?

In Sprint Communications Co. v. APCC Services, Inc., 554 U.S. 269 (2008), the Supreme Court held that assignees of legal claims have Article III standing to pursue those claims in their own name. Pennsylvania's Assignment of Claims Act of 1939 confirms this right under state law.

Joseph Cammarata assigned securities settlement claims to beneficial owners who then filed class-action claims — exactly as the law permits. The government indicted him anyway. No court has explained why Sprint doesn't control. None has even tried. The reason is simple: it does control, and the charged conduct was never a crime.

Sprint v. APCC Services, 554 U.S. 269 (2008)

What Actually Happened

A coordinated prosecution between DOJ and SEC designed to guarantee conviction by eliminating any possibility of a funded defense.

Same Judge Presided Over Both Cases

Judge Chad Kenney was assigned to both the criminal case (21-cr-427) and the SEC civil case (21-cv-4845). He scheduled the SEC asset-freeze hearing at the exact same time as the criminal bail hearing — in two different cities — making it physically impossible for the defendant to attend both. No notice was given for the Philadelphia hearing. This was not a coincidence.

Oct 28, 2021
Grand Jury Misled: Prosecutors tell grand jury that assigned claims cannot be legally enforced — directly contradicting Sprint v. APCC. Indictment issued without presenting exculpatory controlling law.
Nov 3, 2021
Coordinated Strike — Same Day: (1) Cammarata arrested at Miami airport; (2) SEC files civil "securities fraud" complaint — even though DOJ deliberately avoided securities fraud charges because DOJ could only freeze $16M in "ill-gotten gains." The SEC civil action allowed them to freeze $78+ million — every penny — guaranteeing no funded defense from day one; (3) FBI executes search warrant, seizes records but leaves computers with cooperating witness.
Nov 9, 2021
Impossible Hearing — Same Judge, Same Time, Two Cities: Judge Kenney schedules SEC TRO hearing in Philadelphia at 9:00 AM — the exact time defendant is at criminal bail hearing in Miami. No notice given. At this hearing Kenney states on record: "I consider this a crime against the courts!" — later removed from transcript and replaced with "[inaudible]". Both transcripts exist proving simultaneous hearings.
Nov 24, 2021
TRO Expires by Law: Under Rule 65(b)(2), TRO must expire within 14 days. Government continues enforcing it for 4+ years. $78M+ asset freeze remains in effect under void order.
2023-Present
Third Circuit Silence: Appeals filed. Mandamus filed. All unopposed. Government never responds. Court refuses to rule. 21+ months of deliberate non-adjudication while man remains imprisoned.

Same Judge, Both Cases — Never Recused

Judge Kenney presided over both the criminal prosecution AND the SEC civil case. He controlled the asset freeze that eliminated the defense while simultaneously overseeing the criminal trial. Despite multiple recusal motions, he refused to step aside. The SEC hearing was scheduled without notice at the exact time as the Miami bail hearing — ensuring the defendant could never appear.

Why This Matters Beyond One Case

This isn't just about Joseph Cammarata. It's about what happens when institutional safeguards fail at every level.

If prosecutors can suppress controlling Supreme Court precedent, if the same judge can preside over both cases and schedule impossible hearings, if $78 million can be frozen under a void order for 4+ years, if appeals can sit unruled for 21+ months — then constitutional protections mean nothing.

The Due Process Protections Act of 2020 was enacted specifically to prevent Brady violations. Neither district court ever issued the required certification. Rule 65 limits TROs to 14 days. This one has been enforced for 4+ years. Sprint v. APCC is binding Supreme Court precedent. No court has explained why it doesn't apply.

When the government's only defense is silence, and the courts' only response is delay, transparency becomes the last check on power.
