UPDATE: ON NOVEMBER 1, 2023, I FILED A LAWSUIT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND AGAINST 30 companies PARADING AS MARKET MAKERS AT THE NATION’S SECURITIES EXCHANGES for violating the CFAA, Sherman Act, federal securities laws and Maryland state laws. Webull Financial is the 31st defendant and the suit against the broker is interwoven but the claims are varied. THE SUIT NUMBER IS: 8:23-CV-02986-LKJ. The SCHEME revolved around the securities of Lordstown Motors (RIDE), Ashford Hospitality Trust (AHT), Multiplan Corporation (MPLN), Genius Group (GNS). The MARKET MAKERS conspired and coordinated in the fraud/crime to hack my personal computers, stalk and monitor me, stole financial records and data, and used the stolen information to manipulate securities held in my portfolio, including driving Lordstown Motors into bankruptcy protection. WeBull Financial Assisted them with DECEIT, SELF-DEALING, VARIOUS BREACHES, and Broken or Manipulated Technology. In the week following and including the date of the lawsuit, video evidence showed the Market Makers and employees/agents of the Defendants frantically manipulating GNS, AHT, RIDEQ as they monitored three Yahoo Finance browsers on my computers, paralleled and gamified the stocks. *************************************************************************************
Though this case is a civil action, the fraud and conduct of the defendants constitute criminal offences under both Federal Law and Maryland Law. It is a federal crime to engage in the hacking of any computer or network. It is a Maryland state crime to engage in the hacking of any computer/network – felonious where the amount of loss equals or exceeds the losses caused by Defendants in the present case. It is a federal crime to engage in acts that are prohibited by the Sherman Antitrust Act, which Defendants did in this matter. The federal RICO laws prohibit the kind of scheme Defendants are engaged - which forms part of this lawsuit. I used “are” to show that Defendants have intensified the cyber-hacking of Plaintiff’s computers since the filing of the lawsuit, and Plaintiff has been collecting a treasure trove of evidence which he would share with any interested party or regulator or law enforcement. ***THESE CRIMES ARE OCCURING IN THE UNITED STATES***
