Introduction
BDM LLC specializes in investigating potential court fraud, procedural irregularities, and financial misrepresentations within judicial systems.
This report and court recording examine a DuPage County, Illinois, court case involving child support modifications and college expense contributions, where income from Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LW) stock options and bonuses was central. Based on court transcripts, public records, and unrebutted affidavits submitted by the respondent, Broc D. Montgomery, MEd, MBA, this analysis highlights allegations of income concealment, money laundering through judicial proceedings, and broader connections to corruption involving state officials and an Epstein-linked trafficking scheme in Northwestern DuPage County. These claims underscore systemic issues that implicate key figures, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, former DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, State’s Attorneys, and Judges Linda Davenport and John Demling, in obstructing justice and enabling hate crimes against vulnerable parties.
The respondent, a highly qualified individual with master’s degrees in business administration and counseling psychology, argues that these proceedings were manipulated to his detriment. Our research aims to provide a structured overview of these allegations, emphasizing the need for accountability in Illinois’ political and judicial landscapes.

Case Overview and Financial Irregularities
The DuPage County proceedings addressed modifications to child support following the emancipation of two children, alongside contributions to college expenses. The petitioner, Nichole Montgomery, serves as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Foodservice Sales – North America at Lamb Weston. Her 2020 W-2 reported gross income of $715,116.65, including a base salary of $284,581.99 (later increased to $325,000), a $75,000 retention bonus, $223,580.44 in stock-related payouts, and a $142,831 performance bonus.
However, the allegations assert that her total annual earnings exceed $1,000,000, including full compensation packages, including equity awards, which are standard for executives at Lamb Weston, as reflected in public SEC filings.
Under the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act Sections 505(a)(3.2) and 505(a)(5), income imputation considers work history, education, and opportunities. The court’s decision to exclude variable elements from the petitioner’s income—deeming them non-guaranteed—allegedly undervalued her earning capacity, resulting in child support calculations based on only one-quarter of her base salary and one-tenth of her total yearly earnings. This has led to claims of corporate court fraud orchestrated by the State of Illinois, where high-level executive compensation is systematically minimized to reduce financial obligations.
The respondent contends that his unemployment stems from adverse publicity and an alleged felony arrest without a conviction related to threats against Dan Cronin in 2020, which he attributes to orchestrated efforts by Nichole Montgomery and county officials to falsely jail or eliminate him. Court records from that period, including charges filed in DuPage County, reveal Broc Montgomery’s incarceration and subsequent job loss.
These events, as evidenced by unrebutted affidavits, were part of a broader scheme to silence him amid revelations of corruption that included trafficking.

Allegations of Fraud and Personal Vendettas
Nichole Montgomery’s alleged fraud extends beyond financial concealment to include over six years of contempt of court for failing to comply with court-ordered maintenance payments. These payments were calculated using the undervalued income figures, perpetuating economic harm to the respondent and his sons. The unrebutted affidavits detail how Nichole Montgomery has manipulated family court processes to sabotage the respondent’s and his sons’ economic opportunities, including through fraudulent representations that hindered employment and educational prospects.
Furthermore, these actions are claimed to intertwine with a Northwestern DuPage County Epstein-linked trafficking scheme, involving child exploitation and high-level cover-ups. The affidavits, filed without rebuttal, describe how sports programs—such as her son’s All-State athletic achievements—and college ambitions at institutions like Northwestern University were exploited as fronts for trafficking activities, drawing parallels to Jeffrey Epstein’s networks of influence among elites.
The respondent alleges attempts by Nichole Montgomery to have him killed or falsely imprisoned, facilitated through connections with DuPage County officials. A 2020 federal RICO lawsuit (Montgomery v. DuPage County Government et al., Case No. 1:2020cv05481) names Nichole Montgomery as a defendant, along with county entities, and asserts claims of racketeering and corruption. Judges Linda Davenport and John Demling, who preside over related matters in the 18th Judicial Circuit, are accused of procedural bias that obstructed fair hearings, including delaying 2019 motions and prioritizing college expense petitions. These actions allegedly perpetuated hate crimes by denying due process and enabling financial disparities.

Implications for Illinois Political Corruption
This case exposes deeper systemic failures under the oversight of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, former DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin, various State’s Attorneys, and judges who have received multiple affidavits detailing these allegations yet have allowed Nichole Montgomery’s harmful fraud schemes to continue unchecked.
Despite being notified through formal submissions, these officials are accused of obstructing investigations into the fraud, sabotage, and trafficking connections, thereby enabling ongoing economic harm to the respondent and his sons. The failure to address contempt-of-court issues—spanning more than six years—further illustrates a pattern of selective enforcement that protects influential figures while disadvantaging others.
State records and affidavits suggest these politicians and judicial officers have prioritized shielding networks involving trafficking and money laundering over upholding justice. The respondent’s 2020 charges for threats—stemming from frustration over these injustices—further demonstrate how powerful interests weaponize the legal system. BDM LLC’s research indicates patterns in DuPage courts in which high-net-worth executives, such as those at Lamb Weston, benefit from lenient income assessments, potentially masking illicit financial flows.

College Expenses and Retroactive Injustices
The court’s ruling on college contributions, under Section 513, allocated 33.34% to the respondent and 66.66% to the petitioner, retroactive to December 17, 2019. This included expenses for the children’s education at Northwestern, DePaul, and Morton College, with the son’s basketball scholarship at Morton noted. Allegations tie these allocations to the trafficking scheme, where athletic and academic pursuits allegedly served as recruitment mechanisms. The denial of the respondent’s motion to dismiss, despite reserved judgments, and the oversight of his earlier 2019 motions, exemplify procedural fraud under Judges Davenport and Demling.
