Subject: Urgent Appeal Regarding Weaponization of the Justice Department
Dear Kash Patel,
I am contacting you as the new FBI Director and a strong ally of President Trump. I appreciate your courageous efforts to defend Trump and expose the widespread weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI’s corruption. In line with Trump’s commitment to ending the weaponization of government and addressing misconduct by FBI and DOJ prosecutors, I would like to highlight a case that exemplifies this issue. It showcases the egregious misconduct of federal prosecutors that has resulted in wrongful convictions and imprisonments—issues that President Trump aims to bring to light and eliminate.
I need your help to shed light on these issues, as I am just an average conservative entrepreneur caught in this situation. The weaponization of government extends beyond targeting conservative Christians like myself. It goes deeper, driven by financial motivations and a “win at all costs” mentality that undermines justice. This weaponization includes rogue prosecutors reinventing laws based on vague and constantly changing civil regulatory guidance.
You have experienced these attacks firsthand and have witnessed what malicious prosecutors and the FBI are capable of. Observing the corrupt proceedings against President Trump has made me acutely aware of the challenges in combating governmental overreach, especially from unethical prosecutors who manipulate the law. That’s why I need your help. If Trump had to win the presidency to fend off these unjust attacks, how can ordinary citizens hope to achieve justice?
The charge of “conspiracy” is manipulated to fit any legal activity to entrap innocent citizens. I want to draw your attention to such a case, which demonstrates government and FBI misconduct, including “policing for profit,” which should be treated as a criminal offense. President Trump has empowered you to bring these misconduct cases to light. You, along with Congress, can implement the necessary changes to end the weaponization of the justice system and hold rogue prosecutors or FBI agents to account.
This case involves Infinity 2 Global, a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that operated from 2013 to 2015. MLM is a legal business model and an effective method for product distribution. However, due to pressures related to this case and a campaign of sabotage, the company was ultimately forced to cease its operations. Distributors were unable to realize the full potential of what was a promising MLM plan, which aimed to shift the focus from recruiting to product consumption as the primary driver of distributor rewards. This model was designed to be the opposite of a pyramid scheme.
A saboteur named Chuck King, who was exposed for his unethical dealings, orchestrated a campaign to undermine the company and get the defendants imprisoned. This situation is reminiscent of the Christopher Steele dossier revealed in the Durham report. Without access to an investigation like Durham’s, ordinary citizens find themselves powerless against these influential forces, which possess unlimited funds, blanket immunity, and the ability to punish those who resist them.
Through a misinformation campaign, King managed to attract the attention of a Kentucky FBI agent named McClelland, who began an investigation in June 2014. Lacking experience in multi-level marketing, McClelland accepted King’s claims without question and hastily reached conclusions, demonstrating the FBI’s tunnel vision, reminiscent of the Richard Jewell case. The outcome was predetermined when McClelland discovered that Maike owned a Kansas property valued at $3 million.
McClelland filed a lis pendens to seize the land owned by Rick Maike, the owner of i2G Infinity Two Global, which is now valued at over six million dollars. After two and a half years of attempting to pressure Maike into surrendering his property through a civil settlement, the government intensified its efforts by filing a criminal indictment. Four top MLM distributors, including myself, were named in the indictment as part of a strategy to coerce someone into turning against Maike, rather than facing a potential 20-year prison sentence.
This indictment utilized the broad “conspiracy” statute, applying it to a new interpretation of mail fraud. It suggested that mere involvement in an alleged pyramid scheme could be enough to establish liability without proving criminal intent. In other words, any distributor could be labeled a conspirator or a victim based on the prosecution’s discretion. This creates a dangerous precedent that could jeopardize the future of multi-level marketing (MLM) due to vague regulatory interpretations that are not law. There is a risk of arbitrary prosecutions targeting any distributor associated with a company accused of operating as a pyramid scheme.
In 2022, I was offered a probation “cooperation” deal with no jail time. My attorney advised accepting a guilty plea would be considered perjury since I was not guilty. Therefore, I decided to go to trial as the only MLM distributor being tried alongside the owners. One of my MLM partners, Richard Anzalone, accepted the same probation “cooperation” plea offer based on his attorney’s advice, even though he consistently asserted that he did not believe he had done anything wrong at the time. Despite his cooperation deal, Richard testified that I was honest, hard-working, loyal, motivated to help others, and would not lie, mislead, or deceive anyone.
Operating an illegal pyramid scheme has historically been classified as a civil violation under Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which addresses unfair business practices. This Act requires that specific notice of the alleged conduct be provided, along with an opportunity for the company to rectify the situation. Except for the Gold Unlimited case in 1996, almost every charge related to “operating” a pyramid scheme has been treated as a civil matter.
Congress has never created a law or formally defined what constitutes a pyramid scheme. However, the intent to define the term under the FTC Act is evident with the failed Anti-Pyramid Acts of 2017 and 2018. The FTC does not target distributors “civilly” since they are considered “agents of the company.” Furthermore, no distributor has ever been criminally charged for their “participation” in an alleged pyramid scheme as a “conspiracy” charge, which could carry a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. This precedent puts all hard-working independent mlm distributors at risk of arbitrary prosecutions based on any government claim that their company is a pyramid scheme. The distinction between distributors they deemed conspirators and those considered victims was based only on their level of merit-based success within the company.
The danger does not stop with threats to the mlm direct sales industry. Every business guided by vague regulatory constructions is at risk.
In the Maike case, the prosecutors committed fraud against the court by lying to the Court about exculpatory evidence that contradicted their case. The lie was used for cover to to manipulate data and fabricate $38 million in non-existent victim losses. The government suborned perjury from 16 witnesses, including four key witnesses, by presenting this false data as a truthful representation of the total gains and losses of i2G distributors. Additionally, they misrepresented 27 months of non-i2G data to judge the business operations related to i2G.
There were FBI and government incentives for “policing for profit” in this case. Kentucky has a poor track record, with 100% of civil forfeiture seizure funds benefiting law enforcement agencies. An 85/15% sharing arrangement between the FBI and the Kentucky government fosters a “win at all costs” mentality that undermines justice. In 2015, FBI agent McClelland filed a false affidavit to obtain a lis pendens without informing the judge that the case involved a multi-level marketing (MLM) company, where the alleged victims’ investments were purchases of distributor products.
I have submitted complaints to the Office of Professional Responsibility, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Judiciary Committees, and the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government. However, I am concerned that my voice may go unheard. This case is under appeal, but the government’s abuses have not been fully documented. I worry that the Appeals Court may struggle to fairly evaluate a case where the evidence presented is based on fraud upon the court. My supplementary documents will clarify how $32 million in losses was fabricated by manipulating commission data.
My allegations are backed by data, sworn statements from data providers, and the government’s own evidence, including discovery documents, spreadsheets, and admissions in their briefs. Relevant documents were uploaded to the website www.defendmlmfreedom.com. I can meet or speak with anyone to assist with an investigation of this case’s issues. Owners and distributors remain in prison as a result of this egregious misconduct.
Moreover, I am attaching copies of my letter to the Office of Professional Responsibility and supplementary documentation. I can provide spreadsheets and data that support each allegation. Please do not let this government abuse go unnoticed, especially when the freedom of ordinary people is at stake.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter, which impacts all entrepreneurs’ future endeavors, and for holding corrupt prosecutors accountable in service to the public.
Sincerely,
Faraday Hosseinipour
