In what may very well be Luke Wenke’s shortest-ever letter to the federal courthouse in Buffalo, New York, he shares one of his many uncreative and not-very-original business ideas with the Honorable John L. Sinatra, Jr., who oversaw his cyberstalking case and subsequent probation violation charges. Luke Wenke also expresses a desire to collaborate with a controversial and well-known Western New York businessman, Carl Paladino, to bring his vision of nuclear energy to fruition. This is just one of many letters where Wenke mentions Paladino despite no apparent relationship existing between the two.
Luke Wenke mailed this letter in late July of 2025 from FMC Devens, a federal medical prison in Massachusetts, where he’s receiving mandatory mental health care after being deemed competent but mentally ill in court. Based on his recent letters, I think it’s fair to speculate that Wenke is either refusing to cooperate with treatment or it’s simply not working. Despite this apparent lack of progress, the Federal Bureau of Prisons website lists a projected release date of October 7th, 2025. It remains unclear whether Wenke will be on probation or under any other type of supervision following his release.

Luke Wenke Letter to the Court #218Luke Wenke #218 – Page 1
“I am in a great mood as I write this to your court because I always knew I could come out of this situation good with everybody.
“We in the vicinity of Tim Murphy are looking forward to helping Carl Paladino become the sole proprietor of a nuclear plant to be built in Orleans County which will be selling nuclear energy all over the world. Carl is long time friends with John’s friend Donald, and Carl has free ‘secretary help’ coming his way soon to help him file the papers to get this built so the papers look formal for the Robert H Jackson US Courthouse to accept. No forged handwriting.
“It will be a great addition for Ellicott Development so Carl can finally become a billionaire. It will help provide a tax base for Orleans County so they can stop calling themselves ‘Poorleans County’. We look forward to getting a joint ribbon cutting with Carl, Nick Langworthy, and Santa Barbara CA residents Prince Harry and Megan Markle.
“More importantly, this will provide an amplified federal tax base so Siemens Dresser Rand of Olean can make the upgraded public safety equipment needed to repeal and replace federal threats cases as talked about in this courtroom. We will make the national debt go down, not up.
“Thank you to SimCity and Mr. Dapperton of YouTube for helping my mind formulate all that I have to think this way.
“See everybody soon enough. Love – Luke Wenke”
