Seattle, WA Dec. 31, 2022. “I will never be charged with a crime, because we have people in every part of government who will always protect me,” boasted serial criminal and sex offender John Pennington, Jr. to his ex-mother-in-law, Linda Laughlin.
As a result of that boasting, and over 15 years of effort by public interest attorneys and journalists, including hundreds of public records requests and thousands of pages of litigation, Mr. Pennington personally exposed what is likely the single largest criminal enterprise in U.S. history. An explanation of how is works is here.

Today, Ninth Circuit Attorney John Scannell provided notice of a series of national Petitions to suspend Federal funding of Washington State courts. The Petitions will appear in the press, internet venues, and the courts. An advance draft follows:

John Scannell, a public interest advocate and lawyer in the Federal Ninth Circuit Court, started this Petition to the Department of Justice and others.

SUMMARY OF THE PETITION
This Petition is for the citizens of Washington State – and all U.S. citizens – who don’t want their federal tax dollars to support a corrupt state court system. The goal of this Petition is to suspend Federal funding of Washington State Courts.
The citizens of Washington State are currently denied their Constitutional right to due process – a fair day in court – because of organized crime. The organized crime is called a RICO. The RICO, which operates openly, involves public officials and private attorneys.
The purpose of this Petition is to suspend Federal funding of the Washington State court system until the conclusion of Federal investigations. This Petition respectfully requests that Federal law enforcement based in Washington, D.C., the Department of Justice, Government Accountability Office (GAO), and Congress, investigate the allegations against specific people and legal cases. Those people and cases are listed in the “What We Are Asking” section below.
In addition to Washington State public officials, we ask for an investigation of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Nick Brown. Mr. Brown is fully aware of the RICO and is alleged to directly support the RICO by refusing to act against it. Prior to his position as U.S. Attorney, Mr. Brown was an attorney at a law firm that allegedly defends and supports the RICO according to legal scholars, researchers, and journalists.
In the Western District of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Mr. Brown is the public’s last line of defense against public corruption. Because of that, Mr. Brown’s alleged knowing collaboration with the RICO, and inaction, is the most critical obstruction to public justice – his inaction protects and ensures the continued existence of the RICO.
This Petition calls for action by Washington, D.C. based Federal agencies to investigate the RICO. The first agency and contact is listed below, and several more will follow in the near future.
At the end of this Petition is a more detailed explanation that is titled “How the RICO Operates”

WHO I AM
My name is John Scannell. I am a public interest advocate and appellate attorney in the Federal Ninth Circuit Court. Separately, I am a candidate for the Supreme Court of Washington State.
With decades of experience as a public interest attorney, I have worked on behalf of public justice with more than one hundred million dollars of impact, and which have resulted in constructive social change. I have seldom asked for any financial compensation for my work throughout my entire public interest career.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
WHY I AM SPONSORING THIS PETITION
Should your Federal tax dollars support Washington State courts which are controlled by extensively documented organized crime? This is why I am sponsoring this Petition.
I believe in the importance of due process, and that everyone should have a fair day in court. Millions of people have died for your Constitutional right to due process.
My personal motivation resulted from my discovery of the RICO, the racketeering enterprise. It includes judges, prosecutors, and lawyers who present themselves as representing public interest while in fact they betray their sworn duty under the Federal and State Constitutions.
By allowing well documented corruption in its courts, the State of Washington has violated its court funding contract with the Federal government. That contract requires the State to uphold the Federal Constitution and ensure the right of due process – a fair day in court.
Extensive corruption in Washington State courts is a reality. The question is, what are we willing to do about it? If we work together, we can make a difference.
Power is not taken from us. We give it through fear and inaction. Let’s act now.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
WHO IS FUNDING THIS PETITION, AND WHO IS BEHIND IT?
No one is funding this Petition, and I am its sole official sponsor.
Behind this Petition are several dozen public interest attorneys, legal scholars, journalists, and others who have been targeted for retaliation by the RICO. We have spent over 15 years filing hundreds of public records requests, reviewing thousands of pages of public documents, and engaging in public interest litigation – all at our own expense.
The summary of the RICO that follows this Petition is the result of all of our collective public records requests, research, testimony of government and corrupt law firm insiders, and public interest litigation.

WHAT THIS PETITION IS ASKING
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
IN CONCLUSION
We ask all Washington State citizens, Federal law enforcement organizations, legal advocacy groups, and every American citizen to join us in this Petition to suspend Federal funding for the Washington State court system until the conclusion of a Federal investigation of the named parties and cases.
The named parties, it is alleged, have betrayed their respective oaths of office and public trust to uphold the Constitution, betrayed the legal and ethical duty of the Washington State Court system to uphold the law, betrayed the trust of every federal taxpayer, and betrayed every Washington State citizen’s Constitutional inheritance: the right to due process – a fair day in court.
THIS PETITION WILL BE SENT TO: The Honorable Amy L. Solomon, who currently serves as Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Justice Programs (OJP), and is the person who controls Federal funding of State courts.
Please also join us in directly contacting Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Solomon. Her phone number and address are listed on the screen below 202-514-2000; her mailing address is: Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, 810 7th Street NW, Washington, D.C.20001. Amy Solomon’s personal email address: absolomon5@gmail.com
Let’s keep the Constitution alive by working to suspend our Federal tax dollars from the Washington State court system today. Please contact us and let us know if you or your organization would like to join us.

HOW THE RICO OPERATES
The courts of Washington State are currently controlled by organized crime.
This is a fact established by several public interest attorneys including me; national legal experts; and thousands of pages of evidence collected through hundreds of public records requests by journalists and legal academics at the award-winning publication, The Gold Bar Reporter.
The allegations in this Petition are the result of over 15 years’ public records requests, research, and litigation by the Gold Bar Reporter, its publisher, affiliated journalists, public interest lawyers, public records lawyers and experts, and several dozen concerned citizens.
The purpose of the alleged organized criminal activity – a racketeering enterprise called a RICO – is to control both the insurance market and financial losses for the insurance company Lloyd’s of London and its insurance partners, called syndicates. The RICO effects every citizen in Washington State.
A RICO is a complex fraud. Complexity is fraud’s best friend. Because complexity creates a kind of “sandstorm” of confusion. It allows the people who operate it, and the way that they operate it, to hide inside that storm. We have worked hard to deconstruct it.
An ongoing series of articles, “Seattle’s Epstein,” explains in more detail how the alleged RICO was exposed and operates. According to that series, in brief, this is a summary of how the RICO is structured, directed, and controlled:
1). Lloyd’s of London. The RICO is directed and controlled by the insurance company, Lloyd’s of London. In the U.S., the Lloyd’s RICO is directed and controlled by Cary Bond of Lloyd’s N.Y. office. Lloyd’s RICO is well documented in U.S. court cases like this one.
2). AWC. In the U.S., the RICO is operated on a state-by-state basis. In Washington State, the RICO is directed by Lloyd’s syndicate member, the Association of Washington Cities (“AWC”). Just days after his role in the RICO was exposed in the press, Peter King, the de facto CEO, hastily announced his retirement in an attempt to deceive Federal law enforcement.
3) The AG. The Co-Director of the Washington State unit of Lloyd’s RICO is State Attorney General (“AG”) Bob Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson was chosen and supported by Peter King to co-direct the RICO.
At the direction of Peter King, Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson controls the legal system and denies any Washington citizen, considered by the RICO to be a financial or political risk, their Constitutional right to a fair day in court in four main ways:
A). Public Records Officers. State public records officers, acting at the direction of Mr. Ferguson, routinely and illegally deny public records requests, destroy documents, and obstruct justice. The denial of public records prevents access to due process. These are criminal acts in violation of Federal law.
B) SAAGS. SAAGS are Special Assistant Attorney Generals. They are both private attorneys, and county prosecutors. A SAAG is basically “deputized” by Mr. Ferguson to act on his behalf as his own staff. This is illegal and unconstitutional: it places both attorneys and prosecutors in a conflict of interest with the people they have a legal duty to represent. When a prosecutor illegally accepts a SAAG contract from Mr. Ferguson, it allows Mr. Ferguson to assume the county prosecutor’s power of criminal prosecution, which is denied Mr. Ferguson under the Washington State Constitution. It also allows Mr. Ferguson to deny anyone he wants the right to due process under the Federal Constitution.
C) The Bar Assn. The private Washington State Bar Association is controlled by State Attorney General Bob Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson controls the Bar by illegally: 1) Giving the private Bar millions of dollars in free rent; 2) Hosting and controlling the Bar’s email and data servers; 3) Proving unlimited free legal services to the Bar – all at a cost of tens of millions of dollars to the taxpayers of Washington State; 4) Using the Bar and its State conferred disciplinary powers to target people chosen by Mr. Ferguson for liability control or political retaliation; and 5) Gifting every employee of the ‘private’ Washington State Bar tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars through the State retirement system, called PERS;
In one case alone, Mr. Ferguson has spent over $30,000,000 of State taxpayer dollars to illegally disbar, harass with contract private security and cybercriminals, and engage in baseless litigation with dozens of attorneys against a single person, Anne Block, a court-recognized journalist, and former public interest lawyer.
D) Judges. Judges in Washington State are a key part of the RICO. They are routinely bribed in several known ways, including home refinancing where loans are paid by outside parties, “speaking engagements,” cash bribes, and promoted for their collusion and cooperation in the RICO. Corrupt judges are usually former employees of the staff of AG Bob Ferguson or were SAAGs – attorneys who were under contract by Bob Ferguson.
4). The U.S. Attorney in the Western District. For the public, the last line of defense against public corruption is U.S. Attorney for the Western District, Nick Brown. Until his appointment, aided by RICO co-director Bob Ferguson, Mr. Brown was an attorney with the SAAG law firm Pacifica Law Group. Pacifica law group allegedly has, and continues to protect, the RICO and its members.
