I know that my website can be difficult to navigate, so here is a “FTB Table of Contents”: a list of what I have done with links to more information on each item. I am still working on adding links, so if you need more information ASAP on a particular topic, post a comment and I will make digging that particular info up a priority.
The issue that started it all:
Between the years 2008 and 2016, the Franchise Tax Board, California’s Income Tax Agency, “lost” 16 of the 20 payments that my husband and I had made. When I say “lost,” I mean that they cashed our checks right away, but didn’t apply the money to our account. Instead of locating the “lost fund,” FTB aggressively harassed me to pay the “outstanding balance” and imposed penalties for “paying late.” Here is the list of payments.
The Bona Fide Criminal Schemes I’ve Uncovered:
The 8 schemes to overcharge taxpayers that were documented via court records.
- The Legal Process (Statutory Law)
In 2017, I filed an appeal with the administrative law court to try to get my penalties refunded.
During the case, I was assigned a free student attorney that worked for FTB to represent me. This was my student attorney’s brief that I rejected. My attorney then fired me for wanting to address the accounting fraud and all my attempts to contact FTB, which FTB had redacted and omitted from the records they’d submitted to OTA. Here was the Brief that I wrote, the Oral Arguments I made at the hearing, and the Accusation that I filed against FTB’s attorney Eric Yadao in the CA Supreme Court for improperly redacting and omitting exculpatory evidence to hide his employer’s accounting fraud schemes.
When I lost the administrative court case, I filed an appeal in San Diego Superior Court.
Here are some of the SDSC court documents:
Specially Prepared Interrogatories, Set #2: Accounting Irregularities.
Motion to Compel Further Response to Demand for Documents filed 12-15-2020: For more information on accounting irregularities that appeared to be fraud. FTB’s documents stated withheld payments were “no payments” and FTB stated under penalty of perjury that they don’t keep accurate records.
I took the evidence FTB propounded in that SDSC case and highlighted all the accounting fraud and sent it to the FBI.
I lost that case, too, in a ruling as jaw droppingly corrupt as the OTA ruling.
- BAR Complaints (Statutory Law)
I filed BAR Complaints against two FTB employees for rigging my administrative law case, the attorney that was supposed to be representing me (Craig Shaltes) and the attorney representing FTB (Eric Yadao). When the BAR sided with the FTB employees, I filed an Accusation in the CA Supreme Court against Eric Yadao.
I filed two BAR complaints against FTB’s lawyer in the San Diego Superior Court case, Deputy Attorney General Anna Barsegyan.
- Federal Criminal Complaints (via Common Law)
I filed a Federal Criminal Complaint against two FTB employees, Alexis Bear and Carrey Burton-Beilby, for committing fraud and Deputy Attorney General Anna Barsegyan for harassment and retaliation for exposing the fraud.
I filed a second Federal Criminal Complaint against two different FTB employees, Keith Swank and Chelsea Hubbard, along with Deputy Attorney General Anna Barsegyan, for covering up fraud.
- I’ve filed multiple complaints with the Office of Insurance and Risk Management (ORIM)
I filed two ORIM complaints against Deputy Attorney General Anna Barsegyan and FTB employee Grace LeBleu for unlawful harassment by conspiring to post my and my husband’s social security numbers on the internet.
I filed an ORIM claim for FTB overcharging interest by not fully crediting payments made.
I filed an ORIM claim for FTB refusing to disclose policy and procedure regarding payments that are supposed to be immediately applied (the embezzlement scheme).
I filed an ORIM claim for FTB refusing to disclose policy and procedure surrounding their Notice of Proposed Assessment, which I believe to be a lynchpin of their racketeering scheme.
I filed an ORIM claim for the majority of the FTB executive staff not having properly executed oaths, which are required by federal and state law. Working for the government without fully executing an oath to uphold the constitution is a felony.
- I’ve made numerous requests at the Annual Taxpayer Bill of Rights Meetings (since the speeches are time limited, the written requests are longer and more detailed than the oral requests).
2017 written request (no oral); FTB’s Resolution
2018 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response (note they changed the name of their document after I called them out on fraud for their 2017 resolution)
2019 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response
2020 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response; my rebuttal
2021 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response
2022 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response
2023 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response
2024 written request and oral requests; FTB’s Response
2025 written request and oral request; FTB’s Response; my analysis.
- I’ve made multiple legislative requests to my legislators
Repeal four laws that allow FTB to evade due process laws (2026)
Tax Agencies to Comply with Due Process Laws (2022 and 2024)
Close the Married Loophole
- I’ve contacted many government officials to try to get these unlawful schemes stopped:
In August 2017, I sent several letters to the State Controller’s Office and the CDTFA.
In November 2017, I sent a letter to FTB’s Taxpayer Advocate and the State Controller complaining that Lila Fedler in the Taxpayer’s Advocate’s office misrepresented the contents of statutes to me and tried to deny me my right to submit a request at the ATBOR meeting.
In November 2017, I sent a letter to the Taxpayer Advocate accusing FTB of targeting the vulnerable for criminal schemes. I also complained about FTB still not finding my “lost” money and the notice I’d just received that they’d “lost” even more money.
In December 2017, I sent a complaint letter to FTB’s Taxpayer Advocate and the State Controller that instead of locating the “lost” funds, FTB claimed that I hadn’t factored in the penalties and the matter was now resolved. So basically, they tried to sweep the accounting fraud under the carpet instead of addressing it.
In December 2017, I sent a letter to FTB’s Taxpayer Advocate and CEO, GovOps, Governor Brown, and FTB’s Board of Directors, calling FTB out for the felony of misrepresenting the contents of laws in order to cover up their racketeering scheme.
In December 2017, I sent a letter to FTB and GovOps outright accusing them of running an embezzlement and racketeering scheme.
In December 2017, I sent a letter to Governor Brown, GovOps, and the FTB’s Board Members demanding that the head of the DoF be fired for failing to do his job of overseeing FTB (note, in the letter, I spelled his representative’s name wrong. Proper spelling is Eraina Ortega). I also asked for an investigation to be launched.
In April 2018, I sent a complaint letter to Governor Brown and other legislators.
- Oaths and Bonds
I have been collecting oaths for State Level government workers, some elected, some permanent employees at various agencies.
Information on oaths and bonds laws (both CA and federal)
My Wiener Campaign to oust Scott Wiener from office for working unlawfully without an oath (via common law): Notice of Legal Violations, Writ of Quo Warranto, and Certificate of Default. Since Common Law currently has no teeth, when the State Senate failed to make Wiener file an oath, I stated a Petition.
Notice to State Controller Cohen demanding she Cease and Desist from paying Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis and the 28 State Senators who have not filed oaths with the Secretary of State. Here is more information to help understand the bigger picture.
- Migrants
The Franchise Tax Board is paying NGOs $10 – $20 million per year to hunt down illegal aliens and sign them up for taxpayer identification numbers.
FTB admits that it is issuing its own tax identification numbers to illegals, separate from the federal government (see answer to #3).

Note: I am not suicidal, I don’t have depression issues, I am a careful driver, I rarely drink alcohol, and I do not use drugs of any kind (not even aspirin). My family lives a wholesome life. If something happens to me or my family that is out of character for us, we were set up by the State of California as revenge for exposing their crimes.
