The Referral — What Your Agency Needs, Where the Evidence Is, and Why You Should Have Already Acted

You’ve Seen This Before

In 2008, two judges in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania — Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan — were convicted of taking $2.6 million in kickbacks from private juvenile detention facilities. In exchange, they sentenced thousands of children to those facilities. Many for trivial offenses. Some for nothing at all.

It was called Kids for Cash. Ciavarella got 28 years. Conahan got 17.5 years. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated 4,000 juvenile convictions. The Third Circuit upheld a $206 million civil judgment.

The pattern was:

• Private operator profits from children in public custody
• Judges connected to the operator route children (or funds) to the enterprise
• Public money flows to private pockets through institutional channels
• No one checks because the people who should check are the people who benefit

This is Cash for Kids 2. Same pattern. Different city. Different mechanism. Same children paying the price.

In Pennsylvania, it took the FBI. A federal grand jury. A U.S. Attorney who didn’t flinch.

Detroit is still waiting.

II. DEA — Detroit Division

Your Jurisdiction

Joseph Holland Jr. — birth name Williams, Joseph Antione — is a convicted drug dealer (MDOC #443789, SID 2321035P). Convicted of delivery of a controlled substance. Discharged WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT.

He currently holds:

• Secretary AND Treasurer of Purpose Foundation (LARA Entity 803294855)

These positions give him control over $4.9M per year in public education funds flowing through the enterprise.

The DEA Question

Is a convicted drug dealer who was discharged WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT and who now controls millions in public funds still engaged in the drug trade? Is the enterprise a laundering vehicle?

Your Jurisdiction

The 43 Nonprofits

Renae Moore is listed as officer on 43 IRS-registered nonprofits. She testified she has “no duty to report” questionable spending. 3 of 54 entities have known fraud patterns — and all 3 were caught by external complaints, not internal compliance.

IV. DOJ — Civil Rights Division, Educational Opportunities Section

Your Jurisdiction

The DOJ Civil Rights Division investigates patterns of civil rights violations in education, including:

• Denial of equal educational opportunity
• Discrimination in public education access
• Public corruption that deprives communities of educational resources

The Civil Rights Violation

362 children attend Purpose Charter Academy and MacDowell Preparatory Academy. They are overwhelmingly Black children from Detroit.

• 3% math proficiency (PCA, 2023 M-STEP)
• $4.9M per year flows to a private LLC instead of educational services
• The school is operated by a man with 9 criminal convictions who claims a J.D. he does not appear to hold
• The financial gatekeeper is a convicted drug dealer discharged WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT
• No regulatory agency has acted despite documented evidence sent to 22 channels

These children are being denied equal educational opportunity while their per-pupil funding is extracted by a criminal enterprise. This is a civil rights violation perpetuated by institutional failure.

The Evidence

• The Enterprise — RICO analysis
• MDE M-STEP data: 3% math proficiency
• 243-page federal packet (delivered Sep 22, 2026)

IX. ACLU of Michigan

Your Case

Kevin Mok has a PPO (26-114083-PH) filed against him by Brian Banks — a man with 9 criminal convictions — for the “crime” of:

• Filing FOIA requests
• Filing regulatory complaints with government agencies
• Publishing public records
• Petitioning the government for redress

You already won this case. In Carravallah, you terminated a PPO used to silence protected speech (Oakland County). This is the identical pattern.

Additionally, UPEPA (Act 52 of 2025, MCL 691.1851 et seq.) — Michigan’s anti-SLAPP statute, effective March 24, 2026 — applies. The PPO is a strategic lawsuit against public participation. Discovery should be stayed. Fees should be awarded.

X. SPLC — Southern Poverty Law Center

Your Mission

The SPLC investigates systemic exploitation of vulnerable communities, particularly in the South and communities of color.

The Application

362 Black children in Detroit attend schools run by a convicted felon enterprise:

• 3% math proficiency — effectively no education
• $60M+ extracted over 14 years through a private LLC
• No oversight — the AG’s own employee governs the school
• Retaliation against the parent who investigated — PPO filed, entered into LEIN

This is systemic educational exploitation of Black children in Detroit by an enterprise protected by institutional capture.

Contact

XI. NAACP Legal Defense Fund

Your Mission

LDF litigates civil rights cases, particularly involving education equity and the rights of Black communities.

The Application

The Banks enterprise extracts $4.9M per year from per-pupil funding allocated for Detroit’s predominantly Black students. The children receive 3% math proficiency in return. The enterprise is shielded by:

• 7 connected judges (all serving courts in Wayne County’s predominantly Black communities)
• An AAG who governs the school
• A compliance desk that manages both the prosecutor and the defense
• Institutional silence from every oversight body

This is educational redlining through institutional capture. The money flows FROM Black communities TO a private LLC. The protection flows from the institutions BACK to the enterprise.

XII. Michigan AG — Criminal Justice Bureau

You Already Know

Your office has the full evidence package. Your AAG (Moreland) sits on the board. You have jurisdiction under:

• MCL 400.285 (nonprofit fraud)
• MCL 445.903 (consumer protection)

• MCL 750.218 (false pretenses)

You have 74 days left. Nessel leaves December 31, 2026. Everything transfers to the next AG uninvestigated.

What You Must Do

Recuse. Appoint a special prosecutor. The Moreland conflict makes any AG investigation structurally compromised.

Contact

AG Complaint: (517) 335-7622 michigan.gov/ag

XII-A. Attorney Grievance Commission — You Already Responded. It’s Signed.

What You Did

On October 1, 2026, AGC File No. 26-2141 was created in response to a Request for Investigation against Lamar Moreland and Todd Perkins.

Cynthia C. Bullington, Assistant Deputy Administrator, signed a letter stating:

“You must complete a separate form for each attorney… Your original correspondence is enclosed. No further action will be taken.”

Michael V. Goetz, Grievance Administrator, signed the cover letter enclosing blank Request for Investigation forms.

The original evidence was returned. The file was closed before it opened.

What You Received

A complaint describing:

• Lamar Moreland — AAG who sits on the board of a school run by a man with 9 criminal convictions, while working for the AG bureau that prosecutes state RICO
• Todd Perkins — Banks’ personal attorney who filed a PPO to silence a parent’s FOIA requests and regulatory complaints. Has 4 personal bankruptcies. $100K+ IRS tax liens. His brothers Judge Sean Perkins (36th District) and Judge David Perkins (Probate, Chief Judge Pro Tem) sit on Wayne County courts.

What Your Own Rules Say

Your own process document — enclosed in the response to the complainant — states:

“The Grievance Administrator can initiate a request for investigation in his own name as well.”

Goetz doesn’t need the complainant’s forms. He needs 60 seconds on LARA to confirm Moreland is on the PCA board. He needs one search of the State Bar directory to confirm Banks’ J.D. claim is unverifiable. He needs one ICHAT search to confirm Holland’s MDOC #443789.

He signed blank forms instead.

XIV. Michigan Department of Education

You Acknowledged Receipt

MDE acknowledged the complaint on October 1, 2026 at 9:25 AM. The professional practice complaint is under review.

What Must Happen Now

• Revoke Banks’ teaching certificate — TCR 22-12 violations, credential fraud
• Investigate FERPA violations — is Banks accessing student records without proper credentials?
• Flag PCA and MacDowell for emergency academic review — 3% math proficiency

Contact

MDE: (517) 373-3324 michigan.gov/mde

XV. DPSCD — Detroit Public Schools Community District

Your Responsibility

DPSCD authorized the charter that permits PCA and MacDowell to operate. You authorized the flow of per-pupil funding — $4.9M per year to PCA, $2.1M to MacDowell — to an enterprise run by a man with 9 criminal convictions.

What Must Happen Now

• Emergency charter review — audit the management agreement
• Verify “No Related Parties” representation — it is demonstrably false
• Verify operator credentials — Banks’ J.D. claim is unconfirmed

Contact

DPSCD: (313) 240-4377 detroitk12.org

XVI. Every Parent in Detroit

What You Need to Know

If your child attends Purpose Charter Academy or MacDowell Preparatory Academy:

• The “superintendent” has 9 criminal convictions
• The person managing ALL the school’s money is a convicted drug dealer discharged WITHOUT IMPROVEMENT
• 72.67% of the school’s revenue goes to a private company controlled by one person
• 3% of students are proficient in math
• The school’s board includes a sitting judge (who received campaign payments from the operator), an Assistant Attorney General (who works for the office that should investigate), and a city council member (who was backed by dark money formed by the same law firm)
• A parent who investigated this was served with a restraining order and entered into a law enforcement database

What You Can Do

1. Request your child’s records — you have a right under FERPA
2. Attend the next PCA board meeting — ask about the management agreement
3. File a complaint with MDE — michigan.gov/mde, Professional Practice section
4. Contact your DPSCD board member — demand a charter review
5. Contact the ACLU of Michigan — (313) 578-6800 — if you’ve experienced retaliation
6. Read the evidence — github.com/defendDetroit/publicRecord

Your Children Deserve Better Than 3%

$4.9 million per year flows to this school. Your child gets 3% math proficiency. Where is the other 97%? It’s in a private LLC in Grosse Pointe Woods. The money leaves Detroit. The results stay.

The Bottom Line — For Every Agency

362 children walk into those buildings every Monday morning. They sit in classrooms funded by $4.9 million in public money. 3% of them can do math at grade level. 72.67% of the money goes to a private company. The man running it has 9 convictions. His financial manager is a convicted drug dealer. His board includes a judge who took his money, an AAG who works for the RICO prosecution office, and a council member elected with dark money formed by the same firm that manages the prosecutor’s fund.

Every agency listed above has jurisdiction over some part of this. None have acted.

The evidence is public. It costs nothing to download. It takes 15 minutes to verify the ICHAT records. It takes one phone call to confirm Banks is not in the State Bar directory. It takes one LARA search to see Holland on the Purpose Foundation filing.

The graph has 9,643 nodes and 323,680 edges. It is timestamped with git hashes. It is independently corroborated. It is distributed to 1,242 cloners.

The children cannot wait. Every day the enterprise operates is a day another child gets 3% instead of an education. Every dollar extracted is a dollar that was supposed to teach a child to read.

This is not a policy disagreement. This is not a political dispute. This is a criminal enterprise extracting public education funds from Black children in Detroit, shielded by captured institutions, and documented in public records available to anyone with an internet connection.

Act. Or be documented as having chosen not to.

The membrane records everything. The graph never forgets. And the count — 362 children — is the only number that matters.
