Kelley Lynch (Boulder PD booking photo)It has been one year since—following her bannage from these pages— we first posted about the controversial former Leonard Cohen manager Kelley Lynch. (See here.)
To commemorate the one year anniversary of almost daily harassment by Ms. Lynch consisting of multiple daily emails (over 4,000 to date) sent to the IRS, the FBI, the media, attorneys, governors, mayors, the State Bar, local police agencies and many others—all falsely accusing us of multiple criminal offenses (and worse)—we have invited various persons (including Lynch’s own family) to guest post here.
Here is the second in a series of such posts. These views do not necessarily reflect our views and pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(c)(1) we are not responsible for third party content, such as this post.
What is wrong with Kelley Lynch’s Family?
Opinion
By Kelly Green
What in the hell is wrong with the adult members of the Lynch family? The lovely cast of characters includes: her parents Joan and John Lynch, her sister and brother-in-law Karen and David McCourt, her ex-husband and Rutger’s father Douglas Penick, and Ray’s father Steven Clark Lindsey. Even though Rutger’s an adult and her son Ray is nearly eighteen-years-of-age, I don’t believe in visiting the sins of the mother on the child. Certainly, the Lynch family realizes Kelley has serious mental health issues—how can they not? How can they continue to be deliberately indifferent toward her current mental health CRISIS? Indeed, their deliberate indifference toward her mental health CRISIS shocks the conscience of all sane and decent people! As hard as I try, I come up with no answers that justify their indifference. Certainly, they’re horrified by her loony and insane behavior; certainly, they’re appalled Kelley has become a shady character rapidly spinning out of control; certainly, they’re disappointed their once promising daughter/sister/spouse chooses to implode, crash, and burn on the internet—in public, for all the world to witness. So why does the Lynch family choose to remain deliberately indifferent toward Kelley’s mental health CRISIS? What is wrong with the Lynch family?
Let’s start with mom and dad—err, Joan and John Lynch. Kelley’s mental health issues are not a new development. As a kid, they most likely considered her high-spirited; as a teenager, she was a petulant wild-child. When Kelley went off to college—and she’s attended some of the best colleges in the US—well, they were relieved. They believed she was no longer their problem. Au contraire Mr. and Mrs. Lynch: HAVING CHILDREN IS A LIFE SENTENCE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE OF PAROLE. EVER.
After college, Kelley hooks up with Douglas Penick, they marry and Rutger joins the family. No marriage is perfect—especially when one spouse has mental health issues—and later divorce. Later, Kelley hooks up with Steven Clark Lindsey, and soon their family includes Steven’s daughter Jennifer, Rutger, and their son Ray. Friends, it never ceases to amaze me that Kelley Lynch suckered two men into not only hooking up with her but also breeding with her. What the hell were they thinking? Why didn’t they notice her mental health issues? Perhaps Penick found her quirky or charming—but what’s Lindsey’s excuse? Didn’t Lindsey and Penick ever speak? Are we to believe Penick never spoke to Lindsey about Kelley or Rutger? Seriously, there was no robot warning: “DANGER WILL ROBINSON”—of course I mean, “DANGER STEVEN CLARK LINDSEY”. I understand Kelley hates Lindsey—and probably has issues with Penick—but her sons are very lucky she hooked up with men who’ve done quite well raising her kids. I know she maintains Lindsey is evil and Ray has issues with his dad—but what teenage boy doesn’t have issues with his dad? From the outside, it appears as though Rutger and Ray are doing fine. And their fathers get all the credit for single-handedly shepherding her children into adulthood.
While the kids are young, Joan and John Lynch, and Kelley’s sister Karen, relocate to sunny southern California. Voila! In no time, nearly the entire Lynch family is on Cohen’s payroll. John Lynch becomes Cohen’s bookkeeper—and John keeps the books for ALL of Cohen’s accounts and assets. As to who employed Joan and Karen—well, it’s complicated; nevertheless, Cohen paid their wages.
As was proven in court, Kelley habitually, and freely, co-mingled her finances with Cohen’s finances. Given her tenure with Cohen, perhaps she thought she was ENTITLED to Cohen’s money. Kelley’s parents had to be aware of her creative finances: after all, her dad was the bookkeeper for Kelley’s accounts AND for ALL of Cohen’s accounts; in addition, Joan’s listed as a contact on Cohen’s accounts. As Cohen’s bookkeeper, he had to realize Kelley was co-mingling her funds and accounts with Cohen’s. Are we to believe her parents never discussed how Kelley managed Cohen’s accounts? So why did Joan and John Lynch choose to be deliberately indifferent toward Kelley’s criminal conduct? John and Joan had many opportunities to stop Kelley’s criminal behavior; yet, they chose to turn a blind eye to her FINANCIAL TERRORISM. Why? What is wrong with the Lynch family?
If the Lynch family honestly worked for Leonard Cohen, they were, indeed, entitled to payment from Leonard Cohen. I certainly don’t begrudge them honestly earned wages. However, if Joan and Karen worked for Kelley, or any of her numerous entities, then Kelley was responsible for their wages.
While the Lynch family controlled, and closely guarded, Cohen’s finances, Kelley eagerly helped herself to more than $7M of Cohen’s cash. While Joan, John, and Karen worked for Cohen, Kelley purchased a condo for her parents. Since Kelley stole $7M from Cohen and purchased an expensive condo for her parents, it’s fair to speculate who really financed John and Joan’s California condo. Did Cohen UNKNOWINGLY purchase Joan and John’s condo? I’m sure she’ll insist Cohen gave the condo to her parents as a gift. There’s a sure-fire way to ascertain whether the condo was, indeed, a gift from Cohen: did Joan and John paid gift taxes on the condo? Since Kelley routinely instructs the IRS to investigate her enemies for tax fraud, she’ll have no problem asking the IRS to investigate her parents. Why do Joan and John choose not to comment on the purchase of the condo? Why do Joan and John Lynch choose to remain deliberately indifferent to their profoundly mentally ill daughter, Kelley. Routinely, Kelley reports her mother’s “writing a declaration as we speak that absolutely proves everything [Kelley] says is the truth”! Yet, Joan and John remain silent. Why? What is wrong with the Lynch family?
And then there’s her sister Karen. As I said before, I’m unable to ascertain for whom Karen actually worked; however, it appears Cohen probably paid Karen’s wages. After Karen leaves Cohen’s employ, Karen and David McCourt begin Softwhere Solutions. Some wonder if, perhaps, Cohen’s cash made it’s way into Softwhere Solutions. As usual, Kelley refuses to deny giving Karen any of Cohen’s cash for Softwhere Solutions. Instead, the McCourt’s choose to refer Stephen to their attorney—and I question their motives in referring Stephen to their attorney. Most likely, they want their attorney to announce they’re not responsible for Karen’s bat-shit crazy sister Kelley. Apparently, the McCourt’s remain unfazed that some believe Cohen may have UNKNOWINGLY given money toward Softwhere Solutions. Yes, perhaps it’s better for some to think Cohen’s cash worked its way to Softwhere Solutions—but god forbid the McCourt’s have anything to do with, or be concerned about, Kelley. Why? Why do the McCourt’s choose to be deliberately indifferent toward Kelley’s rapidly declining mental health CRISIS? What is wrong with the Lynch family?
Five years after stealing $7,000,000 from Leonard Cohen, Kelley continues to struggle: she continues to deal with intermittent employment, homelessness, and mental illness. While homeless in Boulder CO, she works as the project coordinator for Deneuve Const; recently, she claims to have worked for a paralegal firm. In the past five years, she’s failed to find a job anywhere near her educational ability. As usual her tenure at each job is brief. With the exception of Deneuve Construction, according to Kelley’s internet posts, she insists she encounters crooks and thieves, tax cheaters and embezzlers, spies and secret agents on the job. Because she has no job, she remains homeless—although she wants us to believe she has a home; however, sleeping on her son’s couch or a friend’s floor is not the definition of one’s home. While in Texas, Star of Hope tries to get Kelley back on her feet. According to Kelley’s Lynchlogic, SOH thought having her reside at SOH put other clients at risk. Since SOH is based in Texas, it hopes to reunite Kelley with her family in Texas—staying in Texas allows her access to SOH’s community outreach programs. Had Kelley remained in Texas, she’d continue to receive treatment for her mental illness. Even though it meant Kelley would have a home and receive treatment for her mental illness, neither Joan and John Lynch nor Karen and David McCourt wanted anything to do with Kelley. Knowing your child or sibling lives in a nearby shelter, WHO ALLOWS A CHILD OR SIBLING TO REMAIN A RESIDENT AT A NEARBY HOMELESS SHELTER? Instead, the Texas clan chooses to be deliberately indifferent toward Kelley’s homelessness and rapidly advancing mental illness. Because the Lynch family wants NOTHING to do with Kelley, Rutger agrees to take in Kelley. SOH gives Kelley a one-way bus ticket to California where she bunks on Rutger’s couch. How do Joan and John and Karen and David justify dumping their extremely abusive mentally ill daughter/sister on Rutger? Kelley thrives on CHAOS—and they think it’s appropriate to dump her on Rutger? What is wrong with the Lynch family?
The Lynch family is complicated. While on Cohen’s payroll, they ALL knew of Kelley’s deceit and criminal conduct—and why should they stop her? After all, courtesy of their demented daughter and sanity-deprived sister, they’re living the sweet life in a sunny southern California condo. They knew she’s using Cohen’s stolen funds to finance the Lynch lair. They knew she was stealing from Cohen—and they did nothing to quell the rampant reign of their daughter—the FINANCIAL TERRORIST. Today, they STILL choose to remain deliberately indifferent to her crimes and mental illness. Why? What’s wrong with the Lynch family?
A lot has happened since the Lynch family worked for Cohen. Kelley’s relationship with her family is fractured. Yet, the Lynch family remains silent. Neither Kelley, her parents, or sister are willing to confirm or deny who financed their homes and businesses. No one intends to name the beneficiary of Kelley’s financial terrorism. I understand why an abusive mentally ill Kelley likes to jerk around and harass strangers. But why in hell does she choose to terrorize her parents, harass her siblings, and humiliate her kids? What is wrong with the Lynch family? Neither her parents nor siblings choose to issue a statement. Not even a simple statement acknowledging their love for Kelley. Not even a statement acknowledging Kelley’s mentally ill and needs in-patient psychiatric treatment. Not even a statement that gives Kelley hope of ever reconciling with her family. Not a single word. No, they choose to remain deliberately indifferent toward Kelley and her mental illness.
