Judge Thomas Stringer, Jr. of Florida; scofflaw, ethical gnome, moron

 

Court of Appeals Judge Stringer, who hears cases in the Tampa Bay area, is yet another judge who is ethically deprived and who has engaged in a multitude of misconduct. In early January the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) accused Tommy Boy of taking gifts from a stripper (exotic dancer at the now closed Scores Club in New York City, and helping her hide her ass-sets from creditors. The formal charges include Tom’s acceptance of the following gifts from the stripper, gifts he failed to report on annual financial statements, which was a violation of Florida statutes.   

  •       2 Rolex watches (one’s not enough?)
  •       Paid vacations to Las Vegas and New York City
  •       A customized 2001 Mercedes (unethically charged?)
  •       Received $50,000 loan, which he never paid back 
As to the customized 2001 Mercedes that Tommy accepted from Yamanaka, he hid the name of the true owner who transferred the vehicle to him and he did not pay the required Florida sales taxes. Besides being an adulterer, and basically a serial crook, Tommy is also a tax scofflaw
I must admit that I have no credible evidence as to Tommy’s alleged sexual prowess in and/or out of the sack. However, he must be pretty good if Ms. Yamanaka was willing to (a) forgive a $50,000 loan, (b) gift him with 2 Rolex watches [valued of at least $25,000], (c) payment of several thousand dollars for trips to Vegas and New York City, and (d) a customized 2001 Mercedes. The total of these gifts and loan easily exceeds $125,000. As to sexual competence, expertise, skill, dexterity, proficiency, aptitude and talent, Tommy must be to the Tampa Bay area what Eros was in regards to Greek mythology. And of course it goes without saying that Tommy considered Yamanka to be an Aphrodite clone. Let’s all put our hands together and give Ol’ Tommy the Bronx cheer for his alleged sexual prowess
I wonder what Mrs. Stringer’s opinion is of Tommy’s love-making skills. I think it’s safe to assume what her opinion is of Tommy’s understanding of what the term “monogamous relationship” means. Obviously, Tommy had no concern about embarrassing his wife and/or his three daughters in unabashedly acting as a serial adulterer from 1995 to 2007. Maybe it would be appropriate for Mrs. Stringer to attend a seminar conducted by Ms. Lorena Bobbitt.
 

Tommy and the Stripper

Beginning in 2004 and continuing through October 2007, Tommy engaged in an illegal scheme in an effort to shield the ass-sets of Christy Yamanaka (stripper, lap-dancer) from creditors that she owed in an amount of at least $350,000. In furtherance of said scheme, Tommy opened bank accounts in his name and the name of a friend of Yamanaka, in which Yamanka had access. The purpose and effect in setting up these accounts and the transactions that follower was to effectively ass-sist Yamanka in concealing her ass-sets and income from others, including creditors that had obtained court judgments against her.  
As part of a business relationship with Yamanaka (aka, money-business), Tommy listed himself as the sole title holder in a residence located in Hawaii, a residence that Yamanaka had a financial interest in. The funds used to purchase the house came from deposits made by Yamanaka, including large cash deposits, and loans which were made in Tommy’s name. The sole purpose of this scam was to again conceal Yamanaka’s financial interest in the residence from her lawful creditors. When the house was bought, the title to the property omitted Yamanaka’s financial interest in it. Tommy had the house transferred (titled) in his name in 2004 through its sale in 2007, all in an ongoing effort to defraud Yamanaka’s creditors.
During his relationship with Yamanaka, Tommy allowed her to use bank accounts in his name; including making large cash deposits (deposits that were originally stuffed into her g-string while performing lap dances) into said accounts, and then transferring sums to other accounts, for the sole purpose of hiding her ass-sets and income from her lawful creditors.
After Yamanaka found employment at Scores in New York, Tommy arraigned for and obtained a rent-controlled apartment in New York in his name on her behalf. Because Yamanaka’s inability to openly maintain a bank account (creditors would seize the funds), Tommy arranged for her to make the monthly rental payments in cash. While procuring the rent-control apartment for Yamanka, Tommy traveled to New York. During this trip, Tommy allowed Yamanaka to pay substantial expenses including lodging at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and catering expenses he incurred during his stay at the luxury hotel.
 
Tommy’s Defenses
 
            Tommy previously admitted to the St. Petersburg Times that he had been a friend and business partner of Yamanaka, but he denied any wrongdoing. Apparently, Tommy is of the opinion that screwing a stripper from 1995 through 2007 doesn’t constitute wrongdoing even though he was married at the time. It would seem that Tommy has as much contempt for the oath he took when he got married as he does for the one he took when he became a judge.
            Tommy’s so-called lawyer J. David Bogenshutz said: “I can tell you that both Judge Stringer and I, as well as many of his friends there, are extremely disappointed with the action taken by the JQC.” (St. Petersburg Times)  Disappointed you say Davey Baby? Ever wonder how disappointed Yamanaka’s lawful judgment creditors were in being screwed by the illegal conduct of Tommy in ass-isting (facilitating) the fraud visited upon them? Ever think about that Davey Baby? What about Mrs. Stringer and Tommy’s three daughters? Think they might have been just a tad disappointed Davey?
            Yamanaka’s attorney Joe Tacopina said: Obviously, this validates (JQC charges v. Tommy Boy) Christy’s version of events, which are corroborated by independent documents. And obviously the committee [JQC] found her credible.” (St. Petersburg Times
            As could be expected, Tommy’s attorney Bogenshutz who said he plans to take Yamanaka’s deposition said he found her credibility to be suspect. Bogenshutz then said “A lot of this has got be coming directly from her. It colors what you find on documents that don’t have a voice of their own. We take a different view, and may be able to prove that.”
            Now this Bogenshutz must have graduated from Slippery Rock University Law School located in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. To suggest that documents proving the financial shenanigans involving Tommy, most of which likely are bank records, can mean something different depending on who is viewing them is absurd. Davey’s assertion doesn’t pass the involuntary laugh test! Seemingly, attorney Bogenshutz is not aware of the legal term Res ipsa loquitor, which is Latin for “The thing [document] speaks for itself.” That’s the last time I’m going to provide any “free legal advice” to you, Mr. Bogenshutz!
