Our Journey
About Whistleblowing for Dummies
This is a true story – For years I exposed tax fraud, RICO violations, wire fraud, money laundering, mine permit abuses, sexual coercion and theft by law enforcement and a web of political favors in Colorado. I testified in two seperate federal criminal investigations. The response? Lost business, my mining company unlawfully shutdown by a State regulatory agency, CDRMS, the same agency who butchered my first husband, our horses stolen and killed, targeted zoning complaints and a litany of due process violations, Brady violations, false charges, and death threats, ultimately costing my husband his life. The 47 Project exists so no one can bury this story again.
So that others do not have to live the nightmare that the State forced us to endure – Start with the Timeline below, then dive into the original documents. Read Who was involved. Laws broken. But not my indomitable spirit. Transparency is the best defense.

More About me
My story, Background the Mining Operation at Shaffers Crossing
Federal Witness and Victim
Yes I was actually a FEDERALLY PROTECTED WITNESS testifying in no less than two seperate federal criminal investigations involving an Edward Vecchiarelli Sr and other. The police knew, the sheriff knew, I recorded myself telling my attorneys and the Jefferson county sheriff but they simply ignored my appeals, stomped all over my constitutional protections, told me I was 'not allowed to speak to the IRS...' (true story)
Stolen
Things stolen from me. Theft complaints were filed appropriately but systematically ignored by the sheriffs office and others
Shaffers Crossing Quarry – Permit MLRB #1978-208
Juliet Moores did what no other woman on earth has: she built a full-scale hard rock quarry mining operation from scratch—permitting, financing, marketing, engineering, and operating the Shaffers Crossing Quarry under Colorado MLRB Permit 1978-208. With decades in the male-dominated mining industry, she succeeded where few dared to try.
But the moment she began cooperating with federal investigators—disclosing serious regulatory abuses, tax evasion, RICO violations and fraud—everything changed. Within months, hours even, state and local officials turned against her. A wave of retaliatory enforcement, inflated tax assessments, and permit interference followed. What began as a pioneering success story turned into a targeted takedown by the very agencies entrusted to uphold fairness and law.
Juliet’s story is not just rare—it’s a case study in what happens when a whistleblower in a hardhat dares to speak truth to power.
