Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §51 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §19, 35 Stat. 1092).
Clause making conspirator ineligible to hold office was omitted as incongruous because it attaches ineligibility to hold office to a person who may be a private citizen and who was convicted of conspiracy to violate a specific statute. There seems to be no reason for imposing such a penalty in the case of one individual crime, in view of the fact that other crimes do not carry such a severe consequence. The experience of the Department of Justice is that this unusual penalty has been an obstacle to successful prosecutions for violations of the act.
Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
Minor changes in phraseology were made.

Open Letter To HISA

Lisa Lazarus’s response to, “How is it legal for HISA to reduce costs of the horseracing industry,” was, in her own words, that she intends to re-direct HISA to begin seizing the horsemen’s money out of the accounts of all racing commissions, nation-wide!

The PDF which you have provided remains dissatisfactory in response to our office’s five, specific questions; it does not answer them.  

We are working diligently to authorize the information you have provided as being factual, lawful and correct.  Our research indicates that HISA has made errors regarding all those parameters. 

The public record indicates that Lisa Lazarus’s refusal to provide the requested information charges lack of transparency.

We have copied, reformatted and published the PDF file which you had sent to our office so the information may be copied and re-published for applicable experts to investigate.

The official record indicates that Lisa Lazarus offered omissions instead of answers to the specific questions which were asked in the public forum on April 21, 2026.  The PDF Lisa Lazarus offered as, “answers,” is documentation of Lisa Lazarus’s refusal to be transparent, therefore, documentation of Lisa Lazarus’s lack of integrity. 

Lisa Lazarus, in concert with other actors designated as HISA and as HIWU, are in the commission of committing the crime of knowingly and willfully misleading the public. See 18. USC §1001(a)(1).

From a psychological expert’s standpoint, Lisa Lazarus’s answer qualifies as being a, “word-salad”.   A word-salad is a long-winded, nonsensical, verbal response which a narcissist employs in order to create confusion to avoid accountability and to avoid telling the truth. A word-salad is sometimes composed of compound sentences compiled by of a lot of complicated-sounding terminology, (such as in Lisa Lazarus’s unethical response,) designed to make the person who asked the question think that they are not intelligent enough to understand the answer and to make the public lose focus on the issue-at-hand. You did not get away with that. You are going to answer that question in the public forum without your copy-and-paste word-salad, Lisa.  Our investigation is far from being closed. 

For example: When the public asked, “How is it lawfully HISA’s role to reduce costs of the industry?”

“The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act requires HISA to collect assessments directly from the state racing commissions or “among covered persons involved with covered horseraces pursuant to such rules as the Authority may promulgate.” But the Act does not prohibit other funding source” 

(That is not a specific answer to the public’s question, but a copy and paste from public law 116-260. Furthermore, the answer mentions nothing about reducing costs; however, is a meager defalcation regarding acquiring funding, which has zero correlation to reducing costs within the industry; yet, in fact, does the opposite, funds must be exerted in order to lobby for promulgating said funds!

 Lisa Lazarus’s response to, “How is it legal for HISA to reduce costs of the horseracing industry,” was, in her own words, that she intends to re-direct HISA to begin seizing the horsemen’s money out of the accounts of all racing commissions, nation-wide!

Lisa Lazarus’s answer as to how to cut costs from the industry is that she is going to take money out of the pockets of all Racing Commissions, nation-wide and award that money to HISA. That does not reduce costs within the industry!

The second part of Lisa Lazarus’s answer is that HISA is going to privately seek-out funding to fund itself- not the industry; and zero dollars of that funding goes towards helping the horse or the horsemen. 100% of that money goes towards HISA to arm it with more capital by which the actors of HISA and HIWU incrementally encroach upon the integrity and safety of horseracing, upon our sport- upon the industry.  

Funded by the imposition of unreasonable financial and psychological burdens on every person and entity within our sport, therefore, on all aspects of our industry, Lisa Lazarus’s intention is to pilot HISA through the Bermuda Triangle of the embezzlement of hard working folks’ money, masquerading as being a federal authority, welding HISA as her shield from fiscal and criminal liability.

Be Advised:

The Word-Salad Lisa Lazarus offered the public did not answer how HISA has any lawful authority to “reduce costs within the industry”. On the contrary, Lisa Lazarus stated that her intention is to take funds outfrom the industry, quoting part of a statute which references the acquiring of funding, not reducing costs within the industry!

Our office is not going to, “Google it,” as Lisa Lazarus’s “copy-and-paste,” response suggested.    

We do not tolerate that kind of behavior from you, Lisa.

That horse is not leaving the barn, Lisa!

We will tell you which horse is getting tacked-up and ready to get ridden right now,though:

You are going to google it, yourself; copy it; paste it; then, publish it to the public forum! The integrity and Safety of our sport grant us the authority to require that of your body; therefore, you are not going to avoid accountability. You are going to do the work lawfully required of you.

You are now on notice:

{Both your word-salad and your not acting in good faith are rejected, for they are unlawful.}  You have herein (and otherwise,) been documented as knowingly and willingly falsifying, concealing, or covering up material fact.  You are engaging in deceptive practices which are related to government matters.  The integrity of the industry has no room for blatant actions of obfuscation; and we do not tolerate any deliberate lack of transparency nor any private actors’ knowing and willing commencement of violation of applicable federal statute(s).

The public record indicates that Lisa Lazarus, using HISA as private-for-profit body, is not acting in good faith. 

Lisa Lazarus disrespectfully telling the media, Expert Horsemen and the betting public who have questions, to “Google it” is unethical, not transparent and is a glaring indication that Lisa Lazarus’s intentions and objectives are not in the light of the integrity or safety of thoroughbred horseracing, but to milk the cash/cow which was birthed by the 2020 omnibus bill!

In the interim, we look forward to investigating the validity of the claims posed in the PDF provided by maintaining an open dialog with actors within the Federal Trade Commission, with all relevant senators, representatives, committee members, with actual authorities within the executive branch and with un-announced, private entities, encompassing all avenues of operation in order to ensure that the Integrity of our industry shall not be further diminished your unconstitutional infringement and by your criminal actions.

Be duly advised,

It is, herein, duly noted that the author of the PDF our office had received on April twenty-ninth, in the year, two thousand twenty-six,  was not Lisa Lazarus.  

Lisa Lazarus is the specific person such five questions were asked during the public forum, which she ignored publicly on behalf of HISA; and to date.  

The public record indicates that author of the PDF, herein under investigation, is, Erin McLaughlin (located at 201 East Main St., Suite 340 Lexington, Kentucky 40507) whose title is, “Systems Integrity & Operations Assistance” of which she (Erin McLaughlin) executed in her private capacity, not in the public’s.

What is the Signifigance of the Credit River Case Decision In Conjunction to the Stature of the Federal Reserve Bank?


Thesis Statement:

We do not need to provide prior value before we are authorized to obtain and/or exchange funds. The collateral at time of exchange is the body of the living man. A person may submit payments by way of accounting entries. All in all, a man does not need to toil for another man in order to obtain monetary independence.
