I'm Being Sued By Elon Musk's Front Man Because I Exposed Musk's Criminality... And I Am Going To Win

Dear Judge Pittman,

With your permission, I’d like to read something or, alternatively, given its sensitive nature, I printed out a copy for you and for opposing counsel to read though I prefer just giving it to you.

I’m happy to submit it under oath if needed and to file it under seal.

I’d prefer you take a moment to read it and then we can discuss its contents.

Come what may, come what must. There’s a chance, however remote, that I might go to jail today. I welcome it because in fearing it, I guarantee its arrival. In fact my going to jail would expose a lot of this for what it really is — a sham, a fraud, and an op.

But like a lot of my generation I feel as if I have lived my entire life in a sort of prison of false starts and elder dishonesty. I did nearly everything I was supposed to do when I was supposed to do it—only to have it seized from me.

On paper I have been successful, sure, I guess, but I have had my resources stolen from me by older generations who have been predatory when they should have been helpful. What a cliché and well, I suppose this is what it means to live in America in the year 2025. Shakedowns galore.

Here are the facts:

I was recruited as a code-named informant by the FBI. The plaintiff knows this full well as I introduced him to my handler and I believe they even worked a case together, involving elder abuse.

The process by which I became a code-named informant is complicated but it amounts to this:

I was threatened with potential jail time for something which wasn’t even a crime.

Rather tellingly, the FBI agent who recruited me as an informant has been removed from law enforcement altogether. I suspect that rather than hold people to account he wanted to go work for the very oligarchs we were investigating. Like a lot of people he saw an opportunity to cash in rather than do his duty. Now he’s an uber driver.

Still, I wanted to be helpful to my country and I did I was asked for no compensation and out of loyalty. I was told I was one of the best informants they had ever had and my work was used in the presidential daily briefing, especially as concerns Chinese penetration of the satellite industry. I’m proud of the work I did and it continues to pay dividends though as you might imagine I have a rather clear eyed view of the FBI, which has alternatively praised me as a genius — literally — or threatened to throw me in jail.

As part of that code-named status I was asked to deal with three oligarchs who were washing money from foreign governments into our system.

Reporting on these oligarchs led to the oligarchs using a foreign-compromised money manager to sue me rather than face me, themselves.

That frontman’s name is Hal Lambert. Though I introduced him to Umbra Labs, a satellite company, he proceeded to cheat me out of my interest in said company, just as he had worked with my two other co-founders to cheat me out of my interests in a facial recognition company where he later became the co-CEO.

Lambert is known to be underhanded in his dealings though I did not know that at the time.

Rather than back me in our dispute, our other partner on the satellite deal — John Burbank — elected to back Lambert instead. Burbank owed me money for two projects but then at the eleventh hour decided to cheat me too. Burbank’s source of funding is from abroad, notably the UAE, China, and Russia.

Lambert then connived with GigaFund partners Luke Nosek and Steve Oskoui — men who I introduced Lambert to — and who party with Lambert. They grew close.

I didn’t know it at the time but both Nosek and Oskoui manage Musk’s money. They also manage money from foreign actors.

Despite a promise to pay me a fee for introducing them to Othram, a genomics venture I cofounded, Oskoui and Nosek proceeded to invest in Othram and then deny me my fee.

I went to the CEO of Othram, David Mittelman, and told him to sell my stock in the company I had cofounded.

Despite this adversarial history with the Othram board, Mittleman got the board to approve a $1M. In truth my stock was worth at least $2M but I was happy to take this money for several reasons:

I had been offered a job and neither my new employer nor I want to be conflicted. Unlike other parties in this case I take conflicts of interest seriously.

My ex-wife and daughter were in need of cash as their home had been burgled and I wanted to move them to safer accommodations. I myself want to get remarried and to move in with my partner and the money offered here will give me an opportunity to marry her.

And finally I had lost confidence that the people around Othram would listen to me and my advice.

We arranged for my family assets to be sent to a Wyoming trust — Wyoming is the state my beloved grandmother is from and one of my trusts is named for her teaching. It is not, as opposing counsel has wrongly suggested, proof of some kind of malfeasance on my part. Indeed during the pandemic I looked at moving to Wyoming full time, but elected to be in Texas, much to my chagrin.

I was to handle the parsing out of those assets to my ex-wife and daughter. Neither my eight year old daughter nor immigrant ex-wife are terribly financially sophisticated so you can imagine that this, too, took a bit of effort on my part.

Of course my correspondence with the CEO of Othram was shared with the company’s counsel, who, of course, worked with Burbank before accepting his job. As I said, the conflicts of interests abound here and yet I am the one who was charged with a RICO, go figure.

That Othram counsel used your order to deny giving me and my family the money we were owed. I appealed that order and filed a brief at the Fifth Circuit.

Opposing counsel has even gone so far as to subpoena and harass the attorney for my family trusts, trusts which were formed more than half a decade ago.

When I looked to hire an attorney to help advocate for me, I was informed that my attorney of choice wasn’t going to be permitted to work with me because he had worked previously for Clearview.AI, the facial recognition company I cofounded, and which still owes me millions.

This fact suggests that there is coordination between the New York and Texas cases.

Lambert is facing criminal sanctions abroad and massive civil liabilities domestically for systematically violating people’s privacy— which is all the more reason that I am loathe to hand over any more information to him and his backers.

I will not sit for a deposition. Nor will I provide anymore information to opposing counsel. What little I have provided opposing counsel, has been contorted and deceptively used to induce you to force me — once again — to come down to Texas. I no longer wish to have any communication with DLA Piper that isn’t mediated by a court.

We all know that DLA Piper has a checkered reputation as a responsible law firm with its longstanding ties as a front for the Chinese government. My family retained DLA Piper on a property earlier than Lambert and yet curiously this conflict of interest was ignored.

DLA Piper just so happens to be Tesla’s attorney and they have elsewhere behaved as if they were Musk’s personal attorney.

I have been a successful person at least relative to many in my generation but I obviously don’t have the kind of resources to go up against the richest man in the world.

It’s time for sanctions for opposing counsel for abusing this court’s time and using discovery to harass me.

I have extended every kindness here — allowing people to testify via Zoom which I am denied, allowing counsel to have time with his elderly parents which I have to leave my ailing mother, and so on — but counsel has not behaved ethically.

Instead counsel is seeking to harass me once more by trying to tease out all of my assets, information they will surely use as they have here to harass other parties and complicate my financial affairs. That is the true purpose here of this project. Learning my assets can be used to intimidate the people who are connected to them.

This is to punish me for helping federal law enforcement.

They were especially upset that I had talked to federal law enforcement about Elon Musk and they worked with Lambert to cheat me.

Elon Musk was upset that I had exposed his ties to organized crime. I was warned that he would come for me and now he has. But rather than face me in open court, he has sent his lackey.

This case should have been dismissed or I should be given an opportunity to bring it to Washington D.C., where I live and refile it against Lambert and Musk.

My assets were tied up so I didn’t have a lot of cash to defend myself. My lawyers didn’t really do what they were supposed to do and I was less interested in getting cheated by the legal profession in a city I do not know.

There wasn’t a U.S. government doing its duty so I thought that if I offered my help, I could help them, but I’ve become more convinced than ever that there isn’t really a consequence for the bad actors among us.

Here’s the way global capital flows work:

We go out into the world and give them our dollars and they give us their stuff. Those dollars then come back into our system.

It’s a lie that this money doesn’t transform us. Of course it does. It pays for attorney’s fees, for houses, and so on. This is how the oligarchy works. It buys people off.

I promise that if allowed to have my resources I will dedicate my life to exposing this kind of fraud.

I didn’t get the justice I deserve at the jury box. Fortunately the ballot box is still open to me. And so is the written word.

So here’s what I propose:

You allow me to have the resources which belong to my family as my appeal is pending — which is standard — and you let me walk out of this court room a free man.

I’ll handle the rest.
