Trillion-dollar man gets convicted, files another lawsuit

Richard Ulloa, the Ulster County man who allegedly sent threatening demands for millions of dollars to Ulster County judges, banks and a Rosendale police officer last year, was convicted of running a "fraudulent lien scheme" by a federal jury on December 30. 

Despite the jury finding him guilty of seven counts of mail fraud, Ulloa is unbowed. An article in the Daily Freeman yesterday reported that he is planning to appeal his conviction, even as he fights off three other lawsuits in state and federal court.

And court documents reveal that two days before the federal jury found him guilty in December, Ulloa filed a new lawsuit against the judge presiding over the case.

Ulloa's latest legal filing sheds some light on his state of mind these days. The complaint, which you can read in full below, accuses judge Thomas J. McAvoy of violating Ulloa's due process rights by "ignor[ing] all facts submitted and overrul[ing] all evidence."

The document, which Ulloa wrote himself, is full of odd phrases that are usually not found in legal briefs. For example, Ulloa declares himself a "free white man" and a "follower of Yashua the Messiah in the laws of the Almighty Supreme Creator, Yahvah first and foremost and the laws of man when they are not in conflict." He also lists his address as "Nation 'New York.' general post office. Hurley-town. United States Minor, Outlying Islands. Near."
