John:
I recently came upon a photo of you on the internet by accident. It was taken during 2012 at a
Founders Hall Anniversary Reception. I spent a few minutes pondering it, and what came to my
mind is the fact that you are clueless as to the damages that you caused many as a result of your
immoral acts of lies, greed and obsessions. This photograph of you reveals to me by your
appearance that we are both near our final chapter. A phenomenon that we are all confronted, but
for you, what you have done is in my mind the worst anyone can do---lie and cheat family. I am
going to take this time to outline your despicable acts commencing when we were kids and right
up to the present.
You should finally face your hypocrisy and that of Elaine, your wife. If you think you have
fooled people by your supposed charitable ways, look again. If you see yourself honestly in the
mirror, you will face the reality that the only money you have is what you stole from family. So
this will be easy for you to comprehend, I will outline your bad acts, beginning when you were
a kid at Camp Hawthorne and at the Miller School, when you were about 6 years old. Yes, your
resentments and neurosis began then.
So in a nutshell, and since you and your wife will have to answer for the damage and injury that
you caused by your greed and dishonesty I provide you with the list of your villainous conduct.
This greed and lies and manipulations of your family has unjustly enriched you at the expense of
family members that trusted you, supported you, cared for you, gave you a job, gave you a
college education and financed you when you were broke. Remember what Dad said about Ill
gotten gains.
You betrayed and cheated our father, you conned and manipulated our mother, you cheated and
ruined the lives of Mitchell and Virginia Habeeb, you lied and cheated me, and you cheated my
daughter Alex.
It was me and Mitch who put our cash into DFI, because of our trust and love of Dad. Mitch and
his wife trusted me, but they told Dad in my presence that they did not trust you. They were
right. I also devoted years of time assisting DFI in its growth, doing so while you were plotting
to steal my investment. My error was trusting family. It seems that your pathetic brain tells you
that you won, having cheated and stolen. You have won nothing. You have a scheming wife and
a son who has no regard for you, looks at you with disdain and who you bought and paid for
from Columbia because you were not qualified for adoption in USA. Why? Because of your
background of beating-up your former wife Pat Davis resulting in your arrest.
Well, sad and pathetic as it is, here is a list of your bad acts, dishonesty, thefts,
misrepresentations, fraud, looting, obsessions and abusive conduct, establishing that you are a
man without conscience, a sociopath, and a fraud; causing pain, suffering, loss and injury to
others all for the unjust enrichment of yourself. I may have left some out, and our Dad is gone
and cannot attest to the contents. Here is the real John Couri:

Repetitively concocted false incidents about me to Dad.
Breaking into Brunswick Prep Schools various professors offices
Stealing test questions and cheating at Brunswick
Lying to Brunswick Headmaster Alfred Everett when confronted
Your expulsion from Brunswick
Dad used political connections to get you into Syracuse
I gave Dad the cash to pay for most of your Syracuse tuition
You physically assaulted Pat Davis Couri your first wife
You were charged with spousal abuse
You had no job until our uncle hired you as a salesman
I gave $350K to Dad for DFI investment, you invested zero
I advanced another $25K for DFI legal assistance
Your cousins Mitch and Virginia Habeeb gave their life savings of $50K to Dad and you for DFI
investments
You looted Habeebs money
You falsely accused me to Dad and DFI of stealing DFI cash from the safe at Kennedy, when I
was in NYC, and you had access to the safe yourself.
You and your wife Elaine interfered into my marriage with Carla, depriving her treatment for
admitted substance abuse. Your lies were proved by your phone records
You, Harold Boboroff and Elaine abused and manipulated Dad when he had brain cancer and ill
to sign-over my and the Habeebs DFI shares to you and Elaine via a phony Trust while you
destroyed records.
You manipulated our mother who had mental disorders and forged her name aided by others
You engaged in perjury when I sued you for Alex
You forged and secreted documents and records to shore-up your theft
You conspired with Ken Gomez in order to injure me
When I left property at your home hoping that you would change, you stole it
You concocted an Affidavit to malign me and forged Moms name to it. The affidavit is your
words not our mothers.
You have given money to charities that you have stolen from me, the Habeebs and Alex.
John, I could go on for many more pages but I wont. To be sure, I can prove anything I have
alleged here. You have done everything in your power to injure me and my family as part of
some demented obsession and greed. I tried to reach out to you on 3 separate occasions, hoping
and praying that you would recognize your demented acts of theft and fraud and correct it. You
hide behind a guise of respectability, but in reality you are a fraud. There is nothing worse than
betrayal/thefts from family.
It is not Paul Robbins who has stolen from Alex, it is you and your wife. You caused the
Habeebs severe loss and injury by your looting their life savings of $50K because they trusted
me and Dad and invested it in DFI. This caused them severe injury before they passed away.
Virginia in Nov 2008 and Mitchell in Jan 2009. Because of your looting you have therefore
disenfranchised Rickey Habeeb and 5 other of Mitchells nephews. Your acts of greed have
caused pain and suffering for these fine people as well.

For a number of years after Dad passed, your robbing me of my DFI shares and my money was
put on the back burner in my hope that you would recognize your transgressions and make
things correct. I was foolish. Does your brain not ask why I, your brother, did not contest Dads
Will and the conversion of my property leaving Dad with an Estate of only $500--. The fact is I
waited and hoped, but to no avail. Finally, I assigned my claims to Alex and I sued you.
Your cheating ways were evident to many including Federal Judge Briant. Your cheating, lying
and robbing my money has caused irreparable injury to me, Alex and Marlene. You continue to
meddle, lie and cheat, but like all psychopaths you cant tell the truth. Your wife Elaine admitted
your mentally imbalanced ways.
I have said my piece. I am suffering with Stage 4 Cancer, Heart Disease, and numerous other
medical disorders. I am anxious to remain alive in order to see you come forward and repay the
family members and their assigns that you robbed by your deceit, dishonesty and fraud. This
should include repaying the Habeebs Estates and their respective Heirs.
John, your photo taken of you about one year ago speaks for itself, but you still have time to
right your wrongs and to rectify the hurt, loss and injury you and Elaine have caused Alex,
Marlene and me and the Habeeb heirs. The hypocrisy that you have been living and the false
front you are displaying is not fooling many. Only some suckers and yourself. You are not
fooling me and you are surely not conning God. You should realize that you are in a glasshouse. You may be surprised at what many say about you, Elaine and your son. You can only
fool some of the people, and not for long.
Only you are to be blamed as to the horrible situation involving the Case brought in Federal
Court by Alex. She is a sad neophyte. The Complaint is a shamble but the premise spawns from
your theft of my money. Had you not engaged in amoral acts ripping off Dad and me, this Case
would not have started. Your sickness and larceny have again caused irreparable harm to family.
Dad always said: There is a time to dance and a time to pay the fiddler.
Accordingly, as your older brother I can only suggest that you and your wife promptly come
forward and make-right your transgressions of thefts from family who cared and supported you.
Remember our Dads words about ill-gotten gains. None of you, nor your adopted son Chris
and his kids, are entitled to the money you and your wife have systematically looted and stolen,
and they should not want it because what comes with the secreting of stolen money no one
should want for their family. This is not lawyer talk, it is Family.
Your Brother
