Re: Request for Investigation into Alleged Coordinated Misconduct, Extortion, and Corruption Involving Tom Girardi, Associated Attorneys, and Related Parties – Evidence of Potential Federal Violations
Dear Mr. Estrada, AUSA Moghaddas, and AUSA Paetty:
I am Alkiviades “Alki” David, a businessman and entrepreneur based in Malibu, California, currently residing in Europe. I write to request that the Department of Justice investigate what I believe constitutes a long-running pattern of coordinated misconduct, including potential extortion, fraud, abuse of process, and corruption involving disbarred attorney Tom Girardi and a network of associated lawyers and other parties.
Over more than 15 years, I have been the target of multiple civil lawsuits that I allege were brought in bad faith as part of a broader effort to harass me, extract settlements, and damage my businesses—particularly after my media companies (including FilmOn TV) challenged major U.S. television networks on retransmission and copyright issues. These actions have resulted in judgments against me exceeding $100 million in total. I maintain that many of these claims were fabricated or exaggerated, and that they involved violations of my due process rights and exploitation of my documented head injury disability, which qualifies me as an individual with a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Key elements of my concerns include:
- Involvement of Tom Girardi and Associated Counsel: Mr. Girardi, who was recently convicted in federal court of wire fraud for embezzling client funds and sentenced to prison, has been linked (directly or through associates) to litigation against me. This includes cases handled by attorneys such as Gary Dordick, Keith Griffin, Gloria Allred, Lisa Bloom, Michael Avenatti, and others you referenced in your prior communications. Just last week, Judge Lui in the Los Angeles Superior Court issued sanctions against Gary Dordick and his client, Margarita Nichols (also known as Jane Doe in related proceedings), for allegedly presenting fabricated evidence and misleading the court regarding health records and claims against me. I believe Mr. Girardi played a behind-the-scenes role in orchestrating aspects of this and related matters.
- Documented Misconduct and Retaliation: I have faced repeated incidents of alleged harassment, including unauthorized entry into my Malibu property by attorney Joseph Chora, bribes to local sheriff’s deputies, and threats to my safety. I have also endured wrongful incarceration for six days and the unjust seizure of my ADA service dog. Several of my former attorneys—Barry Rothman, Rebecca Rini, John Quirk, and Phil Kaye—have died under circumstances I find suspicious. Notably, John Quirk, a former CIA asset locator, was killed in Turkey shortly after providing a report on assets potentially linked to Gloria Allred.
- Broader Context and Whistleblower Information: My disputes originated in part from business conflicts with major media companies, including Comcast (Brian L. Roberts). During those battles, I uncovered what I believe to be widespread copyright infringement and other illegal activities. I possess extensive documentation, including evidence from whistleblowers, related to these matters and potentially relevant to other high-profile cases, such as the Alec Baldwin “Rust” shooting incident. I am not acting alone; other public figures, including Kanye West and Rose McGowan, have voiced support for exposing similar patterns of alleged abuse within certain Hollywood legal circles.
- Ongoing and Related Litigation: I have filed an antitrust lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas (Alkiviades David et al. v. Comcast et al.) that has survived a motion to dismiss and is now in discovery. There is also related appellate activity involving FilmOn TV and DoubleVerify (a Comcast-affiliated entity). Additionally, I have pursued criminal complaints and civil actions in Switzerland and Greece concerning attempts to extort me and seize family property. In one Swiss matter involving Mahim Kahn (a prior judgment creditor), the court ordered costs against the opposing side, highlighting inconsistencies in their claims. I have also submitted multiple complaints to the California State Bar that appear to have been disregarded.
I have assembled a global team of counsel, including Alan Dershowitz, to pursue these issues through lawful channels. My attorneys Troy Perez (a former Green Beret Colonel) and Mark Lieberman (an experienced Supreme Court litigator) have prepared supporting materials and can provide additional context.
I respectfully request that your office open or expand an investigation into these allegations of potential federal crimes, including but not limited to wire fraud, extortion, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and civil rights violations. I stand ready to provide a comprehensive set of evidence, documents, and witness contacts under appropriate protections.
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I urge a prompt response and am available at your earliest convenience for a meeting or to facilitate the transfer of materials. Please direct any correspondence to me and copy my counsel Troy Perez and the appropriate representative for Mark Lieberman.
Sincerely,
Alkiviades “Alki” David
