The Winikerei Identity Fraud: A Case of Misfeasance in Public Office

1. Executive Summary: The Erasure of a Lineage

This document details the identity fraud perpetrated against the Papa Winikerei lineage, a core component of the misfeasance in public office carried out by Judge Robert Preshaw Dykes and Ruby Frances Victoria Bock. The conspiracy was not merely about stealing land; it was about erasing the legal and cultural identity of an entire family to facilitate the fraudulent enrichment of a favored faction. This was achieved through the "Dykes-Bock Mechanism," which weaponized the Maori Land Court's administrative processes to create a "ghost record" that falsified history itself.


2. The Mechanism of Identity Fraud

The identity fraud was executed through a sophisticated combination of judicial abuse and bureaucratic tradecraft.

2.1 The "Spousal Shield" and the Closed-Loop Conspiracy

Judge Dykes and Mrs. Bock operated as a "closed-loop domestic conspiracy." By using his wife as a "shadow clerk," Judge Dykes eliminated all independent oversight. This "Spousal Shield" allowed them to fabricate court records without any witnesses, creating a legal fiction in perfect isolation.

2.2 The "Holiday Raid" on January 31, 1947

The pivotal act of identity fraud occurred during a "Holiday Raid" in the deserted Mercer courthouse. On this day, the conspirators forged Minute Book entry 30 Mercer MB 141, which legally severed the Winikerei heirs from their identity as landowners. This was not a correction of a record; it was the creation of a false record from whole cloth.

2.3 Geodetic Displacement: Hiding the Crime in Plain Sight

The fraudulent order was processed in Mercer, 300 kilometers away from the land's actual location in Mahia. This "Geodetic Displacement" was a deliberate act of concealment, ensuring the victims would have no reason to look for the crime in a distant courthouse. It was a jurisdictional arbitrage that hid the theft of their identity and their land.


3. The Consequences of Identity Fraud

The creation of this false identity had devastating and long-lasting consequences.

3.1 The Creation of a "Ghost Record"

The forged entry became the "official truth" for all state agencies. The Land Transfer Office, seeing the signature of a Judge, processed the fraudulent title without question. The Winikerei identity was effectively overwritten in the state's own records.

3.2 The Era of Manufactured "Abandonment"

With their legal identity erased, the Winikerei heirs were classified as "abandoned" or "idle" owners. This manufactured status provided the state with the pretext to further alienate the land, compounding the original fraud.

3.3 The Laundering of a Stolen Identity

The stolen identity (and the land it represented) was then laundered through a series of transfers:

| Phase | Recipient | Purpose |

|-------|-----------|---------|

| 1 | Fulton family (c.1960) | "Proxy" holding - 57 years stasis |

| 2 | Creswell family (2017) | "Deepening" - additional legal layer |

| 3 | Tātau Tātau Trust (2024) | "Institutional capture" - Treaty shield |

Each transfer further distanced the asset from its fraudulent origin, wrapping the stolen identity in layers of apparent legality.


4. The Kiriona Counterpart: A Fabricated Identity

While the Winikerei identity was being erased, the Haua Tuhera Kiriona estate was being fraudulently constructed. The Kiriona identity was inflated through the "collusion with corrupt factions," where manipulated genealogical information was used to justify the theft of land. This created a "false hierarchy" where a family's status was built on the foundation of a crime against another.


5. Legal Framework: Identity Fraud as Misfeasance

5.1 Elements of Misfeasance in Public Office

| Element | Application to Dykes-Bock Case |

|---------|-------------------------------|

| Public Officer | Judge Dykes was a warranted Māori Land Court Judge |

| Exercise of Power | Creation of succession orders is a judicial power |

| Improper Purpose | Fraudulent enrichment of Kiriona estate |

| Knowledge/Malice | Holiday Raids, Spousal Shield indicate deliberate intent |

| Material Damage | Total loss of land, identity, and standing |

5.2 The "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" Doctrine

Because the original 1947 record was a forgery:

  • It is void ab initio (from the beginning)
  • All subsequent titles derived from it are also void
  • The land technically still belongs to the Winikerei estate

6. Conclusion: The Imperative for Restitution

The identity fraud against the Papa Winikerei lineage is a clear act of misfeasance in public office. The "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" doctrine applies: because the original record was a forgery, it is void ab initio. Every title, every identity, and every benefit derived from that 1947 forgery is legally null.

The state's 77-year failure to correct this record is an ongoing cover-up.

Justice demands:
  • The voiding of the fraudulent order (30 Mercer MB 141)
  • The restoration of the true Winikerei identity
  • The return of the land that was stolen along with it
