Ex-Attorney Richard A. Luthmann Files Lawsuit Seeking Compensation for Alleged Wrongs

December 22, 2023
Castorina presides over Simonetti’s divorce and now wants Simonetti to pay for the ex-wife’s attorneys.

NEW YORK — Former attorney Richard A. Luthmann, known for his unconventional legal tactics, initiated a lawsuit against several prominent individuals, contending they are indebted to him or have committed various offenses against him.

Luthmann, previously convicted for state and federal crimes, including wire fraud and extortion conspiracy, asserts he endured an unjust prison sentence, leading to what he describes as his transformation into a “broken person.” He alleges that during his incarceration, he was a victim of prison rape, sexual abuse, and torture, experiences that have since resulted in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Upon his release from federal custody, Luthmann embarked on a new career path as a journalist. However, he claims the defendants in his lawsuit obstructed his efforts to move away from his troubled past. Legal documents filed in Manhattan Supreme Court assert that each defendant “owes Mr. Luthmann a debt or has perpetrated a crime against him. Some have done both.”

The allegations include falsehoods, perjury, and improper use of office. Luthmann seeks compensation totaling over $600,000 for past legal fees owed, in addition to more than $500,000 in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. He intends to allocate any proceeds from the litigation to satisfy the judgments rendered against him by the United States Government.

Among the defendants in the case are NYC Council Member Kamillah M. Hanks, her partner, Kevin Barry Love, suspended NY attorney Christopher Ambrose, Staten Island Special District Attorney Eric Nelson, Guy Cardinale, the estate of Charlie Balducci and NYS Supreme Court Justice Ronald Castorina, Jr.

An Assemblyman-Turned-Judge

Luthmann’s claims against Justice Castorina allege corruption, perjury, and unauthorized practice of law.

Luthmann, who was convicted of creating fake Facebook pages and falsifying business records, claims Castorina was not only his co-conspirator, but he commissioned the deceptive social media campaign. The filing includes exhibits purportedly showing Castorina’s actual knowledge of these activities.

Further, Luthmann alleges Special Prosecutor Nelson committed perjury, subornation of perjury, and practiced law without authorization. According to Luthmann, Nelson enlisted the help of disbarred ex-lawyer Perry Reich, depriving Luthmann of his constitutional rights.

The lawsuit also accuses Castorina of failing to settle outstanding legal bills of over $65,000 and perjury during a 2018 grand jury proceeding. According to Luthmann, Castorina’s sworn testimony did not align with his previous Facebook messages.

This lawsuit follows a series of stories on the Frank Report about Castorina’s alleged perjury. Earlier this year, Luthmann’s lawyers filed a similar case against Castorina, including materials suggesting discrepancies in Castorina’s sworn testimony.

According to Luthmann, Castorina was aware of plans to create a fake Facebook page to lampoon Janine Materna, his political opponent, in the 2016 NYS Assembly elections.

The claims suggest they planned the scheme after Castorina learned that Materna intended to challenge him in the primary.

Luthmann had previously created a spoof Facebook page for Democratic District Attorney candidate Michael McMahon in 2015. Referred to as “Smiling Jack,” this page also targeted McMahon’s advisor, former Judge Carmen Cognetta, with derogatory language.

The lawsuit alleges Castorina approved these tactics and even referred to “TEAM MCMAHON” as “the Irish Mafia.”

Luthmann created an organizational chart depicting “TEAM MCMAHON” as a crime family, posted on the fake Mike McMahon Facebook page.

Castorina reportedly told a grand jury under penalty of perjury, “I told him — I told him to stop. I told him not to communicate this type of stuff to me. That’s for sure.”

However, Luthmann disputes these claims, arguing their Facebook Messenger exchanges show Castorina found the campaign amusing and never instructed him to cease.

The allegations of perjury could have severe repercussions for Castorina, potentially leading to judicial defrocking, disbarment, and prison.

Luthmann also alleges Castorina attempted to “cover up” his involvement in illegal activities by making baseless claims to the US Probation Office. Nelson, too, is implicated in the accusations, with Luthmann asserting that the special prosecutor was involved in criminal activity during the 2018 indictment in People v. Luthmann where, Luthmann contends, Nelson submitted false affidavits to Justice Marina C. Mundy and Judge Donald Leo, aiming to hide alleged crimes committed by himself, Castorina, and disbarred attorney Reich.

Luthmann accuses Castorina of perjury, and Nelson, as a special prosecutor, knowingly suborn his perjury.

Frank Parlato, it is disgusting how you create an unsafe space for members of the LGBTQI2s+ community like Ambrose, Castorina and Luthmann by constantly posting homo/non-binary/transphobic comments!

You are perpetuating literal genocide of Queer folx!

Is it true that Richie Luthmann (aka “Man Boobs”) only enjoys hetero sex if Janine Morrison uses a strap-on dildo on him?

Does he insist that she use lots of lube to prevent re-injuring his anus?

Is it true that Riche Luthmann (aka “El Gringo Gordo”) was first initiated into gay sex by Castorina and this silly revenge lawsuit is driven by Luthmann’s jealousy of the judge’s younger, more attractive lovers?

Janine, how much did Luthman originally get paid to create a fake face smash page of this hamburgler? 🤔 I knew a guy that tried to bring heroine into the United States and got caught. His so called friends used him as a decoy. As he’s getting detained the real shipment came through. As for Luthman, did he create lies on social media for money or does he just do what he’s told, like a good dog? I’m not calling him a dog in particular, rather what was his reward for his facesmash account? Thank you

Luthmann will prevail. The corruption is on so grand a scale but they scoundrels are not used to ever being challenged. It’s fantastic that Luthmann has kept his wits about him throughout this ordeal and has clarity and determination to see justice served.

So true!

Richard Luthmann (aka “Richie No-Lube”) is a towering intellect of the legal world. It was the threat he posed to the entire corrupt world order run by The Reptilians that gave them no other option but to manufacture the fraud charges against him and manipulate him into pleading guilty.

Those who mock him by claiming he lives for oral and anal gay sex will feel his WRATH!

How did Luthmann go to jail for that? It’s true! Everyone on Staten Island knows TEN PERCENT JIMMY!

Plus, it says “MATERIAL PROTECTED UNDER US CONST. AMENDMENT 1.” How can they criminalize someone for free speech? Especially in politics. Everyone knows what politicians say is a lie!

There’s no statute of limitations on attorney ethical complaints. Castorina looks like he has some problems. I wonder when OCA is going to put him in the judicial “rubber room.”

The day Richie convinces anyone his prison sex was rape, not consensual, is the day Castornia will get put in the “judicial rubber room.”

Hey, Richie, how did you go about obtaining rubbers in prison (judicial or otherwise)? Or did you not like to use them because then sex felt less intimate?

Luthmann’s getting his revenge in court. He’s either crazy, ballsy, or both. He won’t practice law ever again, but they may have to make him a millionaire to walk away.

After the way Luthmann’s ass was torn up in prison, he can’t walk; therefore, he can’t walk away. He has to use a mobility scooter. That’s why he needs the money. The scooters that will hold a morbidly obese dude like Richie are expensive.

Richard, talking about yourself on the third person will not get you laid, except by desperate tranny hoookers. Good thing that’s your preference.

No judgement, dude. You do you.

I think the most severe punishment, which may constitute “Cruel and Unusual Punishment”, for Castorina would be to deprive him of Big Mac’s for a period of six months. This would surely cause “PTCD” (Post Traumatic Cheeseburger Disorder). He would be devastated. I believe this could dissuade him from any illegal or improper conduct in future.

Although, unsure if this would be a civil rights violation for Casty?

Richard, what is your legal analysis?

Richie, did you charge extra if they didn’t use lube?

Was there breach of contract with the hombres that tore your anus? Were they rougher than agreed?

Why don’t you sue them? Your chances of succeeding in court will be far higher than this novelty act.

So sorry I hurt your feelings, Richie.

Bring your altar boy friends, er, make that boyfriends. Will you be carrying that tough guy cross you like to haul around on Sundays? Dead Jesus on a stick Christians crack me up. No one understand gay sex better than you Catholics and especially your pope when he is deep-throating Chairman Xi.

You know where to find me. So, I’m ready 24/7/365. No need to call ahead and make an appointment.

Yes, please write a long series of articles revealing my identity.

Go ahead and file a civil lawsuit against me. Or report me to the cops for being a not nice guy.

Why don’t you reveal the identities of your vatos that “raped” you in prison while you are at it?

You are a joke, Richie. A loser living rent free in his mom’s house listening to your step dad bang her brains out every night. Does he let you clean up afterwards?
