A preview of what LinkedIn members have to say about Isaac:

• “

  While working with Strack as part of a "start-up" design/techology team at Adobe, I was highly impressed with his technical expertise, ability to articulate solutions to the less tech-savvy, and consistently positive attitude. He's always up for a challenge and pushes everyone around him to think more, question more, innovate more. He's a great collaborator, teacher, and friend, and a tremendous asset to any team.

• “

  Isaac is a driving force at Adobe. Besides his normal duties he volunteers his time for a number of community initiatives. He is very committed to education and works relentlessly to make sure those inside and outside the company receive the information and education they need to be effective. In addition to training our customers, Isaac goes the extra mile and takes time to train those inside the company on our own products. In addition to work related training, Isaac volunteers with a number of outside groups such as STEM / STEAM, FIRST robotics, and WIT to share technology education to the community. Isaac is always willing to donate his time, talents, and energies to share his knowledge with others. I've worked with Isaac on a number of initiatives. He is well organized and detail oriented. He knows how to effectively share leadership while still making sure everything gets done and everyone has fun. Working with Isaac is a blast.

The Computerland Scandal and Apple Computer 

MeriselFab lost millions charged as returns after the acquisition of Computerland Stores from Vanstar Corporation. 

Pleasanton CA - In 1995, Pete Bennett was hired to work at Computerland Corporate to update the reporting system for returns, and sales etc. It was his first corporate customer working at a rate which helped retire debt from closing his computer store earlier that year. 

The project was to consolidate hundreds of reports into a core set of management reports. In the room was a firm making requests were outside consultants pouring over accounting problems.  

The problems were ominious with monthly losses in the millions but oddly pegged to returns.  The return authorizations lacked origins, paperwork and were shoved through from Vanstar which operated distribution to the stores for transactional fee for each item.  

Most of the funds went to Apple Computer for product never shipped.  The employees invested heavely numerous company offers on stock offers. 

One day the reports reached the consultants then Mersil was forced to restate earnings as the real value of Computerland was grossly overvalued.

The Speaker Letters - The Kill Pete Bennett to Cover Up and Your Attorneys

PPP

Dear Speaker Pelosi, 

Your husband retained Amanda Bevins who is the same attorney for the so-called mastermind of the Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce, a group of corrupt parties connected to numerous federal cases with convictions. 

There is a strait path to my long battles with Contra Costa County public officials, police agencies and the members of the Contra Costa Bar Association.  

I have been relentlessly beaten, attacked, arrested, harassed and have been brought to the edge of death many times with every investigation stalled past the Statute of Limitations.  

The connections between us are the base closures such as the Presidio, CNWS, Mare Island, Oakland Army base, and Treasure Island that then connect to Lennar Corporation, Brookfield Properties, and Discovery Homes owned by Albert D. Seeno.  

The Seeno family is a corrupt murderous entity where their contractors, enemies, and opponents end up dead. 

Yous support of the Teamsters and other unions has been a large part of the issues I've faced over forty years. There is a large racketeering investigation underway aimed at Base Closures, Unions and your friends at Salesforce, Oracle and other big tech, big law and big tech are your supporters that came after Pete Bennett founder of nomoreh1b.com lost when Godaddy was taken private, from there officers arrested in the cnetscandal.com proceeded to drive me out of business and forcing me to flee Contra Costa County.

https://www.cnetscandal.com/p/archive-posts-by-month.html
https://www.cnetscandal.com/search/label/Speaker%20of%20the%20House

Every effort I've made to right my ship has failed in connection to the attorneys, investors, bankers, and unionized workforce that you and your co-conspirators coddle and protect.  

Chris Butler is the same person connected to Deputy Tanabe with others rigged my F-250 to explode on NB 680 in connection to my divorce.  That day my death value was over two million via a Prudential Life Policy, in inheritance valued anywhere from one million to much more.  

I have lost my housing, my EDD funds were cut off, your friends the Benioff's retaliated by booting me from Dreamforce 2022 which is identical to Oracle World 2019.  

My personal situation is bleak, hobbled by diabetes, I am aging out and heading to live on the street.  It is truly clear that every department in Contra Costa County rebukes my efforts to acquire housing, assistance, have altered my medical records to conceal the attempts to end my life either in the jail or the hospital. 

The across-the-board rejection of constituent services will end my life far earlier than expected.  Exposure to weather will consume this constituent.  

Have a wonderful day, spend those millions wisely and enjoy your mansions and summer homes.  

Warm Regards, 

Pete Bennett

Senior Contra Costa County Law Enforcement Official and Concord Private Investigator Indicted
Two Alleged to Have Engaged in a Spectrum of Corrupt Activities, Including Stealing Methamphetamine and Marijuana from Evidence and Selling it for Profit, Protection of a Prostitution Establishment, and Armed Robberies of Prostitutes

U.S. Attorney’s OfficeAugust 15, 2011

Northern District of California(415) 436-7200

SAN FRANCISCO—A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted Norman Wielsch of Antioch, Calif., and Christopher Butler of Concord, Calif., on Aug. 8, 2011, for federal narcotics offenses, civil rights violations, and extortion, United States Attorney Melinda Haag announced.

According to the indictment, Wielsch, 50, and Butler, 50, are alleged to have participated together in criminal activities made possible by Wielsch’s position as the commander of the Contra Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team (CNET). The indictment alleges the following abuses of Wielsch’s position, in which Butler, a private investigator based in Concord, participated and assisted:

• Wielsch, aided and abetted by Butler, stole from county evidence facilities methamphetamine and marijuana that had been seized in CNET operations. Wielsch and Butler sold some of the stolen narcotics and intended to sell the remainder. The quantity of methamphetamine sold by Wielsch and Butler was sufficiently large to trigger a mandatory minimum term of 10 years’ imprisonment, if proven at trial.
• Wielsch and Butler participated together in a phony “sting” operation in which they falsely detained a person under the guise of a legitimate law enforcement operation, conducted warrantless searches, and kept narcotics that were taken from the person during the “sting.”
• Butler opened a massage parlor in Pleasant Hill, Calif., in which prostitution activities took place. He required the women working in the parlor to make weekly payments, which he shared with Wielsch, in exchange for Wielsch’s agreement to provide protection to the women from law enforcement action.
• Wielsch and Butler together conducted “stings” directed at prostitutes. Wielsch and Butler identified individuals they believed to be prostitutes through online advertisements and arranged meetings with them, typically in hotels. Wielsch and Butler then staged what purported to be legitimate sting operations, but instead of seizing evidence and citing the prostitutes, they unlawfully took the prostitutes’ money and property for themselves.

“This indictment alleges a pattern of lawlessness that not only violated the trust of the people of Contra Costa County, but also brings dishonor to all the fine men and women in law enforcement who work hard, do the right thing, and risk their lives every day protecting our communities,” U.S. Attorney Haag said. In May 2011, the Contra Costa County District Attorney asked the U.S. Attorney’s Office to lead the investigation. “The District Attorney’s Office led the initial investigation and did a thorough and professional job,” U.S. Attorney Haag said. “When the extent of the alleged misconduct became apparent, however, District Attorney Mark Peterson asked our office and the FBI to take the lead. We took that responsibility without hesitation.”

Wielsch and Butler were arrested this morning by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who have been investigating the case since May 2011.

The defendants’ initial appearance took place this morning in federal court in San Francisco; they are currently being held without bail pending detention hearings. Butler’s detention hearing is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins in San Francisco. Wielsch’s detention hearing is scheduled for Aug. 22, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler in Oakland, Calif.

The maximum statutory penalties for each count are as follows, although any sentence imposed by the court following conviction would take into consideration the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553:

Count 1 – Narcotics Conspiracy, 21 U.S.C. § 846 (Wielsch and Butler)

• Life imprisonment (10-year mandatory minimum)
• Five years’ supervised release
• $10,000,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Count 2 – Methamphetamine Distribution, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (Wielsch and Butler)

• Life imprisonment (10-year mandatory minimum)
• Five years’ supervised release
• $10,000,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Count 3 – Methamphetamine Distribution, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (Butler)

• Life imprisonment (10-year mandatory minimum)
• Five years’ supervised release
• $10,000,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Counts 4 through 9 – Marijuana Distribution, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (Butler)

• Five years’ imprisonment (10-year mandatory minimum)
• Three years’ supervised release
• $10,000,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Counts 10 through 13 – Theft From Programs Receiving Federal Funds, 18 U.S.C.m § 666(a)(1) (Wielsch)

• 10 years’ imprisonment
• Three years’ supervised release
• $250,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Count 14 & 16 – Civil Rights Conspiracy, 18 U.S.C. § 241 (Wielsch and Butler)

• Life imprisonment
• Five years’ supervised release
• $250,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Count 15 & 17 – Extortion, 18 U.S.C. § 1951 (Wielsch and Butler)

• 20 years’ imprisonment
• Five years’ supervised release
• $250,000 fine
• $100 special assessment

Hartley M.K. West and John Hemann are the Assistant U.S. Attorneys who are prosecuting the case with the assistance of Alycee Lane, Rania Ghawi, and Cristhian Escobar.  The prosecution is the result of an investigation by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office.

Please note, an indictment contains only allegations against an individual and, as with all defendants, Mr. Wielsch and Mr. Butler must be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Normy - remember Pete Bennett

They moved in built a sleep loft in rented a space on Cloverdale Ave Concord just a few doors down from Pete Bennnett's first shop. Years later he is Commander Wielsch of the Contra Costa Narcotics Taskforce leaving a legacy of threatening suspects, frame-ups and dubious busts leaving a trail of distrust. Now he's jumping for Jesus.
