$10,000,000 a year undeclared income by the Virginia State Bar

The $10 million a year "legal aid" shell game by the Virginia State Bar raises many corruption suspicions.

Why is the Virginia State bar's Annual Treasurers report intentionally omits the $10,000,000 income it receives from Virginia court filing fees?

http://www.vsb.org/site/about/79th_annual_report_2017

§ 17.1-278. Additional fees in certain courts; use by Virginia State Bar.

In addition to the fees prescribed by § 16.1-69.48:2 and subdivision A 13 of § 17.1-275 and to be collected by the clerk of the circuit or general district court upon the filing of papers for the commencement of civil actions in such courts, the following additional fees shall be collected in all cities and counties in which civil legal representation is provided for the poor, without charge, by a non-profit legal aid program organized under the auspices of the Virginia State Bar: (i) upon commencement of a civil action in such circuit court, an additional fee of $10 and (ii) upon commencement of a civil action in such general district court, an additional fee of $10.


The additional fees prescribed by this action shall be collected by the clerk at the time of the filing. The amounts so collected shall be paid by the clerk to the state treasury and credited as follows: (i) $9 to a special fund within the Virginia State Bar fund to be designated the Legal Aid Services Fund, and (ii) $1 to the general fund for funding of the district courts of the Commonwealth. Such amount for the district courts shall be used to assist indigent litigants. Such amounts credited to the Legal Aid Services Fund shall be disbursed by the Virginia State Bar by check from the State Treasurer upon a warrant of the Comptroller to non-profit legal aid programs organized under the auspices of the Virginia State Bar through the Legal Services Corporation of Virginia to assist in defraying the costs of such programs. However, the additional fees prescribed by this section shall not be collected in actions initiated by any local government or by the Commonwealth.

Whenever you hear the word "corporation" combined with "legal services" it rings a loud bell.

Why is the Virginia State Bar distributing the public's money, not attorneys' dues to private corporations and Non-Government Organizations?

Why are the Virginia General Assembly, Virginia Supreme Court and the other Virginia courts failing to distributing the Virginia Taxpayers' and the Public's funds directly to these private legal aid charities?

How much of Virginia Taxpayers' funds and the Public's funds paid to the Virginia State Treasurer are being wasted and squandered by the:

1. Private legal aid corporations;  and 

2.  Other private corporations by engaging in this shell game using the Virginia State Bar to launder the funds the Virginia Taxpayers' & Public's funds?

Virginia State Bar, a good old boys WASP club.

An inside look at the exclusive Virginia State Bar "members only" Club

Martin Luther Kings day has arrived and what better way than to expose more corruption at the Virginia State Bar, especially when it comes to the exclusive "good old boys" Club.

Lets look at another picture from the 76th annual meeting, does the word "token" mean anything?

Oh, here is a picture of some other members, notice anything unusual? Now maybe our imagination is wild or you are thinking it is coincidental. 

At all meetings/conferences, there is table assignment, who sits with who.

Hmmm, just our imagination?

The Virginia State Bar Disciplinary committee targets minority and women lawyers but protects the "good old boys", the records prove this!

Virginia State Bar $41 million undeclared income corruption

The undeclared $41 million Virginia State Bar income, many questions surround the massive amount!

On the Virginia State Bar website, the Treasurers annual report  declares the income, operating expenses and "other distributions". No where on their website is the undeclared income which averages over $10 million per year. 
Why is this income hidden from the public?

Below is a chart of the financials concerning the VSB income

On the Virginia Government Data Point website, the declared total income is stated.

You might say that, "oh, it was an oversight or accidentally omitted", well no, actually the "undeclared extra income" had been on their website but after our investigators questioned VSB staff, the link was removed.

Lets look at the VSB Regulations for Finance & Budget:

(A.) General Assembly Appropriation
Although it is a state agency, the Virginia State Bar receives no general fund or tax dollars. It is funded by dedicated special revenues derived primarily from bar dues which are held in the State Bar Fund with the Department of the Treasury. Regardless of cash balances on hand in the State Bar Fund, the VSB is authorized to spend only the amount of money appropriated to it by the General Assembly of Virginia in the state budget. The bar’s appropriation request is included in the Governor’s budget prior to review and approval by the General Assembly. 

(B.) Special Funds
Virginia State Bar funds are held in three separate accounts: the State Bar Fund; the Administration and Finance Account,
and the Clients’ Protection Fund. Each of these accounts is authorized by statute or rule of court and is audited annually by the State’s Auditor of Public Accounts.

The State Bar Fund is the bar’s operating account. This fund is comprised of member dues and penalty fees, as well as fees
from a variety of other sources including MCLE sponsors, professionalism course registration, cost assessments in disciplinary
matters and section revenues. Va. Code § 54.1-3913.

The Administration and Finance Account was created in 1987 to manage revenues and expenses for meetings that are supported
by registration receipts rather than mandatory dues. The Annual Meeting is handled through the A&F Account. The fund
is used to pay expenses that cannot be paid with state funds. Va. Sup. Ct. R. Part 6, § IV, ¶9(i).

The Clients’ Protection Fund was established in 1976 to make monetary awards to persons who have suffered financial
losses because of the dishonest conduct of a Virginia lawyer. 
The General Assembly and the Supreme Court approved a $25 per year assessment for each active member of the bar. Approximately $800,000 per year is added to the fund from this annual assessment. In February 2013, the General Assembly extended the $25 assessment through June 30, 2020.

• Who is giving an average $10 million per year to the VSB.
• Why are they giving $10 million per year?
• Where is the undeclared $10 million per year being spent?
• What are the reasons for the $10 million per year undeclared funds?
• Why is the VSB hiding this massive amount of cash?

• Virginia State Bar extravagant foreign travel
• Virginia State Bar $2.8 million computer scandal
• Virginia State Bar excessive salary scandal

OK, well return to your work!

Why is the Virginia State Bar the only state agency that does not use a government email server?

The Virginia State Bar, a state agency, uses a private server (vsb.org) for its email communications which is not monitored by the Virginia State Government.
