Luke Wenke mailed this letter to the Honorable John L. Sinatra, Jr. at the federal courthouse in Buffalo, New York in mid-July of 2025 while in custody at FMC (Federal Medical Center) Devens, a federal medical prison in Massachusetts.
In this latest installment of Luke Wenke acting like an authority on topics he’s arguably unqualified to advise on, he:
-
Mockingly refers to the district court as a “satellite office” of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals which, in my humble opinion, demonstrates a sufficient ability to understand the dynamics of his case, thereby challenging the notion that he’s too delusional to think critically and grasp reality.
-
Wonders if it’s true that housing an inmate costs tens of thousands of dollars per year, and if taxpayers foot the bill. (Spoiler alert: yes and yes.)
-
Brags about the alleged accomplishments of his ancestors, who he seems to think are highly noteworthy and important (a common theme of his letters)
-
Suggests that the victim he served prison time for cyberstalking (referred to in court documents and on this website as “Victim 1”) should fund a so-called “universal order of protection program.” The program is Wenke’s idea, and Wenke is a stalker. And he has always insisted that he’s not a charity case, but he apparently thinks his victim should pay to protect society from people like him.
-
Wants Alfred University students to be tasked with advancing this fictitious/imaginary program by developing mach-speed drones and public safety satellites. You know, since scholars from respected universities have nothing better to do and are lining up around the block to help Luke Wenke bring his fantastical visions to fruition (note sarcasm).
-
Refers to his legal situation as something that’s “being done” to him rather than the result of his poor decisions (including his repeated refusal to follow court-imposed conditions and orders banning him from contacting his victims), once again demonstrating a complete lack of remorse and an outright refusal to take accountability for his actions.
-
Instructs the letter’s recipient, The Honorable John L. Sinatra, JR. –AKA the judge who oversaw his case before it went to the appeals court — to end his case “now please and thank you.”

USA v. Luke Wenke: Document #217 (Letter)Luke Wenke #217 – Page 1
“Cost effective crime prevention is today’s mindless rambling from the permanently former Cattaraugus County Libertarian Chairman to this 2nd Circuit satellite office calling itself a US district court.
“I am in the N5 section of this facility. This is the most per capita threats cases I have seen these 3.5 years. Does it truly cost $45,000 per year per inmate off the taxpayers/endless paper money printing? Go get your Venn Diagrams, your bar graphs, and your Ross Perot pointer sticks out for this one since my research capabilities are limited in a world where people on our don’t contact list have a right to interfere with sentencing paperwork on the way to county jail.
“By the way, everything I send out in the mail is hereby liable to be considered a Poormans Copyright. Glad I am having this facility’s Law Library staff help me copyright certain current paperwork needs. My great grandmother Geraldine Wenke’s father/my great great grandfather Corson of Olean invented the gas pump shut off valve, and that claim is findable in Olean Times Herald internet history.
“How about [Victim 1] borrows against his $1 million house on Zillow to get a prototype for the Homeland Security Universal Order of Protection program going. Alfred University could be helping with mach speed public safety drones and with public safety satellites; neither of which would likely cost $45,000 to build en masse on Siemens Dresser Rand assembly lines. It is the second quarter of the 21st century. It should be technologically possible for us to have satellites we can fill up with 7/11 gas and launch into orbit right from our backyards which then orbit on solar panels. My 2021 Ford Fusion hybrid Katie got repo’d did not cost $45,000.

“This infraction is manageable in county courts and village courts. Skype was trailblazing 15 years ago. This infraction should at most involve [Victim 1] complaining about me on a video call from Michael J. Davis’s courtroom into this courtroom. Make it an Xmen movie for all I give a shit and holographically project my image from this courtroom out to Minneapolis. Long distance orders of protection like this wouldn’t even involve an arrest if I designed this infraction’s handling my way. The drones and satellites and even cameras on every state border’s road and highways would simply track someone driving a ways away and say for example the minute Elmer Fudd and the rest of his Oath Keepers groupies show up in [Victim 1]’s county, the Homeland Security drones and satellites notify his local police to show up and supervise the screaming match.
“So it costs $45,000 per year to do this to me and everyone else here in N5. This court made the US Marshals pay $5000 to that douchebag Leidenfrost.1 Now we are at $50,000. I understand YOUR need in terms of not convicting people if they are psychologically inept. Ok well orders of protection involve showing up to the village court, sign this paper, goodbye. Orders of protection don’t have healthcare mandates. Neither do traffic tickets. This one shouldn’t either.
“We have EZ Pass Lane cameras these days, we have radar reports, we have fingerprint evidence. My technology requests for this infraction’s replacement involve Alfred University students figuring it out and Siemens Dresser Rand of Olean making everything. It does not take one satellite per person on Earth, one drone per person on Earth, one camera per person on Earth, etc. to supervise this infraction’s circumstances in a more alleviating way. So I am convinced it is not $45,000 per defendant per year to deal with something like this.”2
1. Dr. Corey Leidenfrost is a forensic psychologist who performed multiple court-ordered mental evaluations on Luke Wenke. He concluded that Wenke poses an imminent danger to others and recommended involuntarily committing Wenke to an inpatient treatment facility.
2. A rudimentary Google search yields the following AI-generated result: “The cost of building a satellite can range from a few thousand dollars for CubeSats to hundreds of millions or even billions for large, complex satellites. Factors like size, functionality, materials, and launch costs significantly influence the final price.”

“I believe it was just one person who designed Witness Protection after the Nixon Watergate crime years. I remember being told that sentencing guidelines came out of that era, too. Ok well now all we hear among inmates is that ATF and DEA merged, conspiracy charges are going, mandatory minimums are going, it’s now 65% of the time done not 85%, etc.
“It takes John Sinatra calling himself a Pro Se judge, a Homeland Security official, a Dept. of Justice official, a Senate Judiciary committee official, an Alfred University official, and a Siemens Dresser Rand official to figure out the Homeland Security Universal Order of Protection program. ‘Universal’ because do we want to answer to the European international court over international threats charges if one of us fights with Putin or Zelenskyy’s lawyers on Facebook next? No we do not. Do we want to see Mark Zuckerburg bitch from Earth straight out to Elon Musk’s cottage on the beaches of Mars and see Andrew and Krystie and [probation officer] get those two picked up for interplanetary threats next? No we do not. The Homeland Security Universal Order of Protection program. To infinity and fucking beyond, don’t ever pick anybody up for this kind of shit ever again.
“And Dr. Gorham of this facility agrees right to my face that this infraction needs an upgrade.
“I have much more to say than just ‘repeal and replace this shit’. Bob Lambert is at this facility walking around the track every day telling everyone he is Adam Lambert’s cousin. Ok so where is Adam Lambert to help the Bureau of Prisons’ needs out by investing to build federal halfway houses which there are absolutely not enough of as any BOP case manager will tell you? R. Kelly continues to profit when inmates purchase…”

“‘I Believe I Can Fly’ on their tablets. Then R. Kelly could be building his own halfway house from where he’s at. I don’t think ‘running a business from prison’ should even be a thing if imprisoned millionaires sat down with their case managers and orchestrated the construction of their own halfway houses.
“I should not have to cling to religious thoughts in order to cope with an exaggerated and elongated personal situation like this. If Peter Grazi1 truly has depression mental health issues then that dream is Biblical like all the others I have had. So if he does, then you can all go on YouTube and go watch the Spirit Science episode on ayahuasca and the Rhythmia resort in Costa Rica to figure that one out. You want to keep defunding the bloated national budget? Defund all these big pharma mandates because you all know they help nobody.
“Also, Dushkov Vulchev here in N5 calling himself the in house jailhouse lawyer. Give him to Moscow, Russia and let multi billion dollar Arctic Ocean deep sea fishing prop him up as Moscow’s international court judge. The entire world won’t answer to Europe’s international court.
“It is taking way too much thought to fix and end these circumstances. Hamas is just Proud Boys and Oath Keepers for Iran. 5 years since Benjamin [Ryan] Whathisface [last name] was a thing. Does this court give enough of a shit to keep track of him?
“Protestors at Jeff Bezos’s wedding as if getting married is something only the privileged elite do. Perhaps THAT protest should indicate how personal things have been since Covid. Watergate is to Vietnam, Covid crime is to Russia/Ukraine Iran/Israel. Probation is done. End this now please and thank you. -Luke Wenke”
1. Wenke is likely referencing disgraced strip club owner Peter Gerace, who was recently convicted of sex trafficking and other federal offences.
