She goes on to state Amodeo suffers from rapidly shifting moods with marked features of debilitating episodes of severe depression and mania with periods of stability. “His psychosis appears to fluctuate with changes in intensity of his mood state.” When stable, Amodeo can more successfully control his condition. In Parks’ opinion, “careful psychopharmacology management is required.” During the early morning hours of day eight, the Canadians notified Amodeo that one of their informants working inside Bemba’s faction of the military believed the detainees were about to be taken to the airport and executed. Suddenly, Tactical’s people began reporting movement within the prison’s fences—the detainees were being loaded onto transport vehicles. Once a person is convicted, that person loses all credibility," says Frank Amodeo. "This is true even if the person is actually innocent. This prejudice causes the most egregious prosecutorial misconduct to remain hidden."

His face becomes harshly rigid as he stares into my eyes and says, “I have nothing to hide, everything I’m going to tell you is the truth.” In 1988, after a six month courtship, Amodeo married Claire Holland, an adorable blonde with great legs. Claire was an associate manager at one of Hyatt’s offices. He then started the boutique law firm of Amodeo, Durden & Thomson, in 1990, with roughly a dozen attorneys and nearly twenty support staff. Over the next several years, Amodeo’s mania-fueled-work-ethic resulted in extreme growth. The firm took on over a thousand clients per year, churning out over six hundred bankruptcy cases annually. Amodeo argues that the doctrine of standing does not apply to his criminal case, but Article III of the Constitution, from which standing derives, governs our jurisdiction in every type of case. Article III vests the judiciary with jurisdiction only over “Cases” and “Controversies.” U.S. Const. Art. III, § 2. To have a case or controversy, a litigant must establish that he has standing, which must exist “throughout all stages of litigation.” Hollingsworth v. Perry, 570 U.S. 693, 705, 133 S.Ct. 2652, 186 L.Ed.2d 768 (2013). “That means that standing must be met by persons seeking appellate review, just as it must be met by persons appearing in courts of first instance.” Id. (quoting Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43, 64, 117 S.Ct. 1055, 137 L.Ed.2d 170 (1997)); see also Wolff v. Cash 4 Titles, 351 F.3d 1348, 1353 (11th Cir. 2003) (“Litigants must establish their standing not only to bring claims, but also to appeal judgments.”). To establish appellate standing, a litigant must “prove that he has suffered a concrete and particularized injury that is fairly traceable to the challenged conduct, and is likely to be redressed by a favorable judicial decision.” Hollingsworth, 570 U.S. at 704, 133 S.Ct. 2652.By the time Amodeo entered the picture the general contractor had cancelled the asbestos company’s contract. Amodeo immediately agreed to put up the bond for half the profit. That same day, he placed the company in bankruptcy and forcibly reclaimed the naval contract through bankruptcy protection. Amodeo believed his “economic methods would eventually make governments an anachronism, that he would set up regional areas of 30,000 square miles with three and a half million people, and because of his restructuring of the world’s economy, eventually world governments would wither away.” Mirabilis would be everywhere on the planet and Amodeo would become the de facto ruler of the earth. “Presidents would take direction from him, he The CIA had stationed two officers with Amodeo to observe, assist, and if necessary, help him manage the hostage crisis—they had people on the ground in Kinshasa. Not to be outdone, the FBI had requested that one of their own agents—an expert in hostage negotiations—be present.

All thirty-two foreigners] were found with weapons,” said Sakanyi. The government continues to believe the men were plotting a takeover. “We have spoken with their respective ambassadors and we have said that those people are delinquents and should face proper justice.” Even popular fiction authors of political thrillers like Clive Cussler, Vince Flynn and Robert Ludlum shy away from villains hell bent on world domination—certainly no nonfiction writers have reported on a subject attempting global conquest.

Congo Vision, “U.S. Citizens Released Without Changes In The Democratic Republic Of The Congo,” by StaffWriter; May 31, 2006 Over thirty-three candidates were running for the office of President; the bulk of them shared less than one-third of the voting base. The remaining candidates—President Joseph Kabila, former Prime Minister Etienne Tshisekedi, General Jean-Pierre Bemba and a few others—including Kashala, were battling over the crucial two-thirds.

Frank was the glue that held us together. He was solid filled with love and one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever known. Gingi BeltranHe pinches his nose and brow together in confusion, and says, “You keep speaking in the past-tense; I’m going to do this.” His facial expressions and body language tells me he’s having a bad day. His mood is teetering between polarities. “I will be emperor,” he mumbles emphatically. “I will be emperor.” On Wednesday, Amodeo’s attorney told a three-judge 11th Circuit panel that a Florida federal judge unfairly dismissed his petition for habeas relief and argued that he is “factually innocent” of the crimes to which he pleaded guilty. STUDY AFTER STUDY show that bipolar leaders typically possess very high levels of formal education, cognitive ability, capacity to process information and a propensity to deviate from the status quo, cites Leslie DeChurch, PhD., industrial and organizational psychology expert and an associate professor at the University of Central Florida. “[E]nergy, charm and intuition distinguish many successful hypomanic creative geniuses.”

He lived his life to give, to give to his family, his friends – even his career was to support and lift everyone he met. His actions helped bind and create a family, a unit of friends that have lost their leader. I will miss him for as long as I live. Jason Clarke BORN WITH A RARE intestinal abnormality, the obstetrician told Amodeo’s parents, odds were that their infant son would die during the corrective surgery. Devout Roman Catholics, Amodeo’s mother, Margaret, and his father, Frank P. Amodeo prayed in the hospital waiting room during the procedure. Although Amadeo wasn’t Latin, he was raised in Miami and fell in love with the music of Miami Sound Machine in the group’s early days in the 1980s.The next day, aboard Amodeo’s return flight to Orlando somewhere over the Atlantic, Karen called. The Washington lobbyist had spent her morning, inundated by questions from multiple federal agencies, regarding Amodeo’s comments. Amodeo was on the cusp of starting over when he got Yaniv’s message. They met at a breakfast-style-greasyspoon restaurant in Orlando. Yaniv was Jewish, in his late-twenties, clean-cut, sporting a stylish suit. Amodeo had previously partnered with him in a small business venture. The plan had been to buy several thousand gift baskets from a company in bankruptcy and sell them during Christmas—a venture Amodeo had long ago written off. Yaniv placed his briefcase on the table. By 2012, I expect I’ll have offices within one hour of every human alive everywhere,” he said during an interview with the Sentinel. [Amodeo’s] subsidiaries evaluate distressed companies that fit into his “Capital Genesis” philosophy. Mirabilis, he has told employees, will “change the world.” Kabila’s regime had a real problem; the Mbuj-May province felt disenfranchised. To some degree they were being discriminated against, not as a government policy, but due to cultural differences stemming from centuries of tribal squabbling. As a result, they were being excluded by “modern” Congolese society. There was massive Mbuj-May unemployment, poverty, incarceration and dependence on government subsidies. Millions lived in shanty-towns. In the course of a deposition in early 2006, regarding a technology company Amodeo had acquired—and immediately placed in bankruptcy—an attorney approached him in the restroom during a break.
