F. The Florida Collection Suit
Glenn Storch, hereinafter sometimes referred to as Storch,
is a Florida attorney who represented David Ellsworth and James
Morrison in a judgment collection suit, hereinafter sometimes
referred to as the Florida collection suit, filed in 1984,
against Robert, the Riago Trust, and various entities controlled
by Robert. Before that suit, David Ellsworth and James Morrison
had obtained an out-of-State judgment against Robert. Storch
obtained a domestication of foreign judgment against Robert to
pursue the out-of-State judgment.
After filing the Florida collection suit, Storch began
formal discovery against Robert and the Riago Trust. During
discovery, Storch found that all of Robert's property was held by
the Riago Trust. As part of that discovery, Storch deposed
Robert on several occasions, at which time Robert told Storch
that it was fruitless for Storch's clients to try to collect on
their judgment because neither he nor Monica owned anything, not
even the clothes on their backs. Whenever Robert or Monica
attended depositions, they arrived in a Rolls Royce. At
Storch's meetings with petitioners, petitioners wore jewelry,
including a Rolex watch and a diamond ring. During the course of
discovery, Storch saw a 1954 Corvette, extensive exercise
equipment, and a Jacuzzi at petitioners' home. Robert told
Storch that petitioners did not pay any rent to the Riago Trust,
