Lawyers are expensive and in my experience do not provide value commensurate with the expense.

The underlying issues here are of national interest and involve a complex regulatory regime including the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, the White House, Congress, and state regulators. There are a lot of people who need to know what's going on.



Sorry but you're quite insane. Well maybe not insane, by certainly an egotistical nutjob. Just randomly cc'ing organizations takes away any credibility that you may have had (which wasn't much after not using a lawyer for a case like this). If you think you can win this without a lawyer you're completely delusional.

Also, isn't working on this taking away time to be working on your startup? Or is this just some dumb promotional stunt?

EDIT: Your filings against Airbnb, Facebook, Stanford, USC, etc... shows that you have lost your grip on reality. Do you really think thats going to help or just piss people off?

Aren't you the same guy who was claiming that Facebook ripped you off? How about you actually create something that people want to use, rather than complaining about everyone around you.


Not hiring lawyers can be pretty expensive, as well, especially when you're taking on the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, the White House, Congress, and state regulators.


Don't you need to be a lawyer in order to represent a corporation in a court filing? See United States District Court, Northern District, Local Rule 3-9 (b): Corporation or Other Entity. A corporation, unincorporated association, partnership or other such entity may appear only through a member of the bar of this Court.


I sincerely hope you find peace one day.


I doubt it. Seems like he likes fighting people.


Well then, I hope he doesn't find peace but does good and not evil.

We need people who like to fight. We just need them fighting the right people. Sounds like he's off to a decent start, if he can continue it.


I disagree. The world has more than enough people who want to fight and complain. Look at OWS etc.


I look at them. I just think they accomplish something useful. It sounds like you don't.
