Reporting: Another really remarkable accusation by Amazon - and another way Amazon partnered with a billionaire while working hard to get the government to charge my husband with a felony. This one involves *Ross Perot* - remember him?? /1

After my husband left Amazon, the company sought to work with him on real estate development. Many emails show this!! I’m not sharing them here because - while they are Carl’s post-employment emails, not Amazon’s - I’m afraid of their lawyers. /2

By 3/20, Carl found great land in Tennessee for a fulfillment center. He paid for diligence & test fits for a warehouse & more. He sent it to Todd Meldahl, a KBC broker with an Amazon email address. (More on KBC & their $$ partnership with Amazon.) /3 bit.ly/3mGyGYL

Carl sent it with the stamp of Allcore - the real estate development company he worked with - directly to an Amazon email address. Carl was so proud that his experience & years of work were leading to all of this. /4

But while this was happening, Amazon & its outside lawyers at Gibson Dunn were telling the FBI my husband was committing federal crimes. So when they sued Carl, they filed the emails about Tennessee as exhibits & said Carl had somehow usurped an Amazon corporate opportunity. /5

In other words, they said Carl offering land *to Amazon* was stealing an Amazon opportunity. That doesn’t even make sense. (Yes, they also mention Carl’s lawyer in the allegation. Yes, Amazon believes the lawyer with 30+ years of practice is a criminal. That is their claim.) /6

(For lawyers reading, I can share these emails because they are on the public docket in Virginia! That’s the strangest thing, but they are.) /7

Here’s the kicker: Amazon ended up working with a developer to build a fulfillment center on the EXACT piece of land Carl sent to them as an opportunity. It was HIS idea. /8

They didn’t use Allcore, though. (No, they sued Allcore & accused it of a felony.) Nope. The billionaires at Amazon linked up with the real estate development company built by billionaire Ross Perot. /9

Billionaires making billionaires richer. While making allegations that have destroyed 2 companies, 50 jobs and led to the loss of 3 homes that housed 11 children. It’s almost too unreal to believe. But, trust me, it is real. Thanks for reading. /10

REPORT: Today’s thread is about Amazon’s reliance on secret recordings made by Kyle Ramstetter, who they allege swindled them out of $17 million but who they have mysteriously left alone. And: Proof of manipulation of the secret recording. You can't make this up. /1

Kyle worked at Northstar. But in February 2019, he independently took a piece of land under contract from Virginia land baron Chuck Kuhn. The government revealed this fact in a civil forfeiture complaint. /2

Land is a funny thing. If you have it under contract - the right to buy it - you control it. The owner can’t sell it to anyone else. You could think of it like when you have a house under escrow. The owner can’t sell the house to someone else. /3 bit.ly/3EAi7DR

@jack

Reporting: Amazon & IPI (a spinoff of Iconiq - Zuckerberg, @jack, & Reid Hoffman’s fund) have a neat legal trick, using federal law enforcement & public storytelling. Step 1: Accuse people of a crime to the FBI. A thread. /1 bit.ly/345o7s1

@JeffBezos

(Bonus points if company destroys documents in 30 days, so they can whatever story. As @JeffBezos says: ''I love E-mail. The problem is somebody can take it out of context and use it against you, and we have to guard against that.'' /2 nyti.ms/3HjH88n

Step 2: When there isn’t an indictment, sue the people you accused. Step 3: In complaints, mention the FBI investigation that YOU started 114 times. (114!) But do NOT say that you made the accusations & provided selective evidence. /3 bit.ly/3zakEUs
