Part. 3 Urban One's RVA Casino will Scam Investors out of Billions with McGuireWoods' Legal Assistance

Only Richard Cullen, McGuireWoods, and Urban One will Win on its Failure, Investors and Creditors will lose Billions! 

Author Brace Impact, October 6, 2023



Urban One's financial problems are no secret, with numerous warnings from SEC that Urban One will be delisted from NASDAQ on October 20, 2023, for failing to file financial disclosures. How can Urban One desire a Casino in Richmond, which has a history of these failures?

Urban One's plan is to hire McGuireWoods and Richard Cullen to protect them from bankruptcy, while making billions $$$ building and operating the RVA Casino until it bankrupts. The bankruptcy will cost investors and creditors billions of dollars, while Urban One and McGuireWoods are the big "winners." McGuireWoods current leadership rests on the shoulders of Jonathan Harmon.

History has played this old scam for decades, which cost investors billions USD, should we forget:
  • Ponzi Scheme by Charles Ponzi (1920)
  • Charles Keating (1989)
  • Enron Scandal (2001)
  • WorldCom Accounting Fraud (2002)
  • Tyco International Scandal (2002)
  • Bernie Madoff Ponzi Scheme (2008)


Richard Cullen, as the chief legal advisor of Governor Youngkin, has a conflict of interest to be directly involved in the Urban One financial scam plan, so he assigned his son Richard T. Cullen (Cullen Jr.) to represent him in Urban One's affairs until RVA citizens vote a second time on the Casino referendum on November 7, 2023.
 

Chief Legal Advisor Richard Cullen has a long history as the founder and head of the "McGuireWoods Shadow Government" which has been exposed as a criminal syndicate in pending Ethics Complaints filed against him and eight co-conspirators. They are accused of supporting and promoting a "white nationalism" syndicate in the Virginia Courts, protecting white affluent lawyers and professionals from being implicated in their involvement in a 600 kilo cocaine organization that operated in the RVA area for over ten years.



Godfather Cullen and the co-defendants allegedly protected an international fugitive accused of being the hub of a 600 kilo cocaine from being extradited and prosecuted. Cullen feared that the fugitive's testimony would implicate McGuireWoods' clients and attorneys who were involved in the 600 kilo cocaine organization.


On October 3, 2023, at a meeting at River City Roll for pro-Urban One supporters, Cullen Jr. introduced himself as "advisor" to Alfred Liggins, CEO of Urban One. Cullen Jr. is a partner with PLUS Communications, a full-service firm specializing in bi-partisan public affairs, strategic communications, and advertising campaigns. https://pluspr.com

Cullen Jr. has no experience in Casino/Gambling operations, no experience in the construction or legal industry, Cullen Jr. has a 
English and Philosophy B.A from Furman University. Furman University is one of the nation’s premier liberal arts and sciences universities. Cullen Jr.'s employment experience is from Godfather Cullen's political connections where Cullen Jr. worked as press secretary and communication coordinator from 2009 - present date.

                                    RICHARD T. CULLEN

Where is Urban One's partner Churchill Downs in all this? 
Churchill Downs is attending its own affairs until RVA citizens vote on November 7, 2023, if citizens reject the referendum twice, Churchill Downs will quietly go back to their shadows. 

Leaving Urban One and Richmond City mayor Levar Stoney, Councilman Mike Jones, and the other district Councils with egg on their face, wondering if they jeopardized their political career over this quickly sinking proposed Casino. Councilman Mike Jones who has been strongly pushing the Casino, represents the 77th District where the proposed RVA Casino will be built.


Urban One, RVA Politicians, and Pro-supporters of the Casino are promising RVA citizens with over 1300 employment opportunities with an average $55,000 in annual compensation and benefits, yet Casino statistics place the average annual compensation at $30,000.

These "carrot in front of the donkey" scams have a history of bilking investors and creditors out of billions of USD, leaving citizens in the unemployment line and back on government supported welfare services.

Part 2. Richard Cullen's Collusion exposed in Urban One's Casino Plan

Godfather Cullen Positions his Son to guard the Richmond Casino Project for McGuireWoods to Rape the Legal Fees

Author Brace Impact, October 6, 2023



Richard Cullen, well known as the Godfather of the Virginia Shadow Government, has again positioned McGuireWoods law firm to represent Urban One's Richmond Casino project.

Richard Cullen has placed his son, Richard T. Cullen, as the "advisor" to Alfred Liggins, CEO of Urban One, to safeguard McGuireWoods' legal representation of the controversial project once Richmond citizens approve it in a referendum vote on November 7, 2023.

Richard T. Cullen is a partner with PLUS Communications, a full-service firm specializing in bi-partisan public affairs, strategic communications, and advertising campaigns. https://pluspr.com


                                                              RICHARD T. CULLEN

Godfather Richard Cullen is currently the Chief legal advisor to Governor Glenn Youngkin and was the managing partner of McGuireWoods law firm for decades. Godfather Cullen is well known as a top lawyer in Virginia politics and has represented many high-profile politicians and celebrities. 


Godfather Cullen's legal problems are still pending in the Virginia Appellate court, where he has pending ethics complaints filed against him and eight co-conspirators accused of supporting and promoting a "white nationalism" syndicate in the Virginia Courts, protecting white affluent lawyers and professionals from being implicated in their involvement in a 600 kilo cocaine organization that operated in the RVA area for over ten years.

Godfather Cullen and the co-defendants allegedly protected an international fugitive accused of being the hub of a 600 kilo cocaine from being extradited and prosecuted. Cullen feared that the fugitive's testimony would implicate McGuireWoods' clients and attorneys who were involved in the 600 kilo cocaine organization.

Godfather Cullen and his co-conspirators, which include James B. Comey, former director of the FBI, allegedly:
  • § 18.2-460. Obstructing justice
  • § 1071 - Concealing person from arrest
  • § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses
  • § 1001 - False Statements or entries generally
  • § 1510 - Obstruction of criminal investigations
  • § 18. 242 - Deprivation of Rights (Color of Law)
  • § 18. 241 - Conspiracy against rights

Urban One is facing delisting from the Nasdaq stock exchange for regulatory violations. Nasdaq officials said the company is facing delisting after failing to file its 2022 financial annual report in a timely manner and additionally filing quarterly reports late. A Nasdaq Staff Determination of Non-Compliance often results in delisting the publicly traded entity. Urban One has requested a hearing before Nasdaq, which will suspend any delisting action until at least October 20.

Urban One's RVA Casino project is estimated to cost $600 million upon completion, which if it fails, would leave Urban One investors busted on their hopes of a successful Casino.

Win, lose, or draw, the only winner will be McGuireWoods law firm as they will receive enormous legal fees from the inception to the completion of Urban One's bankruptcy. McGuire Woods would receive tens of millions just from the Casino opening its doors if approved.

Part 1. Richmond Casino Wishes will Fail because of its overwhelming Corruption

 Richmond's Overwhelmed Corruption Cannot Support the Responsibility of a Casino

Author Brace Impact, September 18, 2023


Urban One Inc.’s $562 million Casino project in Richmond, Virginia has huge stakes for its referendum approval on November 2, 2023. 
Urban One Inc.’s project is claiming to bring in around 1,350 permanent jobs. Along with supporting people with employment, it estimates that it will make $30 million in annual tax revenue for Richmond as well as $16 million in charitable contributions over the next decade. 

Dangling the "carrot in front of the donkey" is Alfred Liggins, Urban One’s CEO, stating “Our proposal is unparalleled and can not be matched, “We would be creating the only black-owned casino in the United States of America. Perhaps more importantly, our project will be very diverse and inclusive.” So because it would be black owned means that his Casino would not be prone to violent crimes, theft, loan sharking, narcotics distribution, prostitution, and theft? 

                      URBAN ONE ALFRED LIGGINS

Despite Liggins boasting that the Casino would create 1350 new jobs earning at least $15 an hour. Common sense dictates that with Casinos comes organized crime and violence, the RPD is overwhelmed now, what happens after the Casino is operating and citizens turn to loan sharks for gambling money, narcotics distribution, prostitution, and fraud? 

A Casino in Richmond, who cannot control its corruption, would increase crime and the burden on its failing court system. In Richmond, the statistics prove that justice goes to the highest bidder, would a lower class citizen get the same justice as a well dressed attorney from a major law firm or a businessman who makes political contributions, absolutely not!

Whenever there is enormous revenue, corruption goes hand in hand, especially when corrupt judges, law firms and public officials are involved. History has taught us that these are the major concerns, especially in a city with high violent crime, deteriorating public schools, and lack of housing for lower to medium class citizens and out of control corruption. 

Council President Mike Jones, who represents the 9th District said “We're going to hear dog whistle...Crime this, crime that. Those are just dog whistles," said “Please stop speaking on behalf of Southside residents, they are grown.” 

                         RVA COUNCILMAN MIKE JONES

Elected officials like Mike Jones with his eyes on gold quickly dismisses Richmond's highest violent crime rate ever and Richmond's inability to employ police officers and its failed support of the Richmond Police Department. Exactly what is Councilman Mike Jones justification, that "grown southside residents" don't commit violent crimes? 

The turmoil in Richmond's Justice system is no stranger to corruption as justice is sold to its highest bidder. Richard Cullen's McGuireWoods Shadow Government has poisoned the three branches of Virginia's Government putting a stranglehold on the Constitution. Richard Cullen positioned himself as the Chief legal advisor to Governor Glenn Youngkin, Cullen wears the proud title of the "Godfather of the Virginia Shadow Government."


Richard Cullen controls the Virginia Justice system, especially in  Richmond and surrounding counties of Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, and New Kent. Richard Cullen has strategically placed his judicial pawns in the Circuit Courts, Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court as to obtain favorable decisions for him and his criminal syndicate.

The Virginia senate elects Judges based on their corruption level and not on integrity, Richard Cullen's Shadow Government wants Judges who are players and not those who abide by their sworn oath and the Judicial Canons of Virginia, history has proven this over a period of twenty-five years. 

Judge Willian Reilly Marchant, Chief Judge of the Richmond Circuit Court was handed the Casino referendum case and had issued an order clearing the way for a Richmond casino referendum to appear on ballots this November, despite Richmond citizens strongly opposing it last year. 


What has changed over the past year to give the Casino another chance at the ballots in November, higher bribes and political favors, of course! With a $562 million project and yearly income of over $100 million at stake, payoffs to judges and public officials just got more expensive.

Under Chief Judge Marchant, the Richmond Circuit Court operates under anarchy, evidence of retired judges presiding over highly controversial cases, without an order from the Circuit court or the Supreme court designating them and giving authority to hear cases and issuing orders are common. The Supreme Court is investigating judges who conspired with retired judges and lawyers to commit treason by usurping the authority of the Virginia Supreme Court and the Virginia General assembly.

How can Richmond justify having a Casino that will surely bring a variety of serious felonies to the area which will be covered up by Richmond Commonwealth Attorney Colette McEachin. Colette McEachin has proven her history of corruption by refusing to disqualify herself and refer criminal complaints filed with her office naming her associates conspiring to treason, bribery, and fraud.


McEachin was obligated to disqualify herself and appoint a special prosecutor and have the Virginia State Police investigate the criminal complaints, instead McEachin buried the criminal complaints to protect her political friends.

By its history of corruption, Richmond does not deserve a Casino until it gives the citizens evidence of it cleansing itself of the cancer of corruption.
