Virginia Millionaire Realtors Terrorize Martha Boneta – Case Heads to Court

Virginia Millionaire Realtors Caught Terrorizing Farmer in Land Grab

Case will be heard January 19 before Fauquier Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker

PARIS, VA – January 14, 2016 – Martha Boneta, owner of a family farm located on the edge of the Shenandoah Valley in Fauquier County about 55 miles west of Washington, D.C., filed a lawsuit against realtors Philip and Patricia Thomas for Conspiracy and Tortious Malicious Interference for a decade of abuse and harassment. Thomas, an attorney, used her personal law firm in her capacity as an agent for her husband’s real estate firm in a land grab scheme that included years of harassing behavior. The case will be heard before Fauquier Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker on Tuesday, January 19, at 9:00 a.m. in the Fauquier County Circuit Court, 29 Ashby St, Warrenton, VA 20186.

The Thomas husband-and-wife real estate team submitted a brief to the Court saying their multi-year, well-documented harassment of a local farmer does not mean they “should have to be dragged through protracted, expensive litigation to battle a neighbor.” Their novel argument in their “affluenza” defense: We should not be held liable for the terrorizing duress and financial loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars we inflicted on our neighbor; she should suck it up because our acts were a mere “irritation and distraction.” The realtors shouldn’t be inconvenienced by going to court to defend their reign of terror.

Boneta’s dream of becoming a farmer was realized when her family purchased a farm on the edge of Virginia’s fabled Shenandoah Valley.  However, she soon entered a Kafkaesque world of power hungry realtors, trumped-up charges, fabricated coordinated claims and being stalked in-person and online. “It’s terrifying,” said Boneta. “My family is still in shock at the lengths these realtors went to terrorize us off of our land. We just want to be left alone to farm in peace.” Years of documented conspiracy even includes the fact that in one 24-hour period, Patricia Thomas called all of Boneta’s neighbors and followed up the calls by drafting letters for them to send to county officials to make complaints about the farmer.

The elaborate mile long documented web of deceit spun by the wealthy land barons who coveted Boneta’s farm is exposed for all to see in documents filed with the court in a lawsuit filed by Boneta: http://www.scribd.com/doc/288757263/Phil-Patty-Thomas-Malicious-Harrassment
