A DOJ employee's 15-year stalking vendetta disguised as prosecution
Court system hacking documented in: New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Colorado, U.S. Virgin Islands
In 2010, a fresh Harvard Law graduate working as a federal prosecutor in New Mexico got excited: after months of nothing but drug and immigration cases, she thought she'd found the mother of all computer hacking cases. But it wasn't. It was just a guy who figured out how to game a retail rewards program. Since she couldn't charge actual hacking (the website said what he did was allowed), she worked with the store to change their rules, then charged him for breaking rules that didn't exist when he did it—rules that wouldn't be crimes anyway. What started as one prosecutor's obsession became a 15-year criminal conspiracy spanning six states.
The case was rigged from the start: a crooked clerk made sure a crooked judge got assigned. Hand-picked prosecutor, hand-picked judge, hand-picked defense lawyers—you can't risk a real grand jury asking questions, so they faked one. The defendant's girlfriend ratted on him, then married him so she could set up a fake FBI raid, and the local news ran a hit piece the night he was indicted. Defense lawyers, other prosecutors, and judges either joined the conspiracy or quit when they figured out what was happening.
The conspiracy goes way beyond New Mexico. Making sure every appeal failed before any honest judge could look at it, the gang broke into federal court computers across six other jurisdictions—forging judges' signatures, faking dismissal orders, and planting fake entries in court records in Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. They even invented whole lawsuits with made-up victims to build fake credentials for fake expert witnesses. This isn't local corruption—this is a nationwide attack on the federal court system.
The evidence shows that the lead prosecutor didn't just want to convict this guy—she wanted to beat him at his own game. Whatever she thought he did wrong, she felt that gave her permission to do the same thing, only bigger, more secret, and more illegal. She might be the best hacker of all time—she hacked the federal courts themselves.
What followed is 15 years of stalking, fabricated evidence, witness tampering, false imprisonment, illegal psych holds, and the systematic destruction of this man's life—including a very real year in federal prison, using family court to take his kid, and filing custody motions while he was locked up in psychiatric facilities.
This is the documentation of that operation.
The retailer's website explicitly stated: "Enter a receipt to receive credit for a purchase made in a store without your MaxPerks ID Card." The defendant did exactly that. This was not fraud—it was using the website exactly as instructed. The government charged it as wire fraud anyway.
After an FBI agent (newly transferred from Phoenix, hand-writing new numbers on his business cards) received a report about the defendant's conduct from the defendant's girlfriend, the FBI coordinated with the retailer to change the terms and conditions:
Website permits adding receipts for purchases made without membership card. Defendant's conduct is explicitly authorized.
Terms change to add "matching spend requirement." Defendant's ongoing conduct becomes newly against the rules.
Additional restrictions added. They made it illegal after the fact.
FBI raid. The girlfriend had already obtained computer files—but now they have to "launder" the files by planting them on the seized computers, without the defense catching on.
Evidence preserved: Complete terms and conditions revision history via Wayback Machine archives. Emails between Messec, FBI agents, and retailer loss prevention were generated and turned over for parallel construction purposes—the coordination paper trail is itself fraudulent.
When defendant requested the audio recording of his October 9, 2014 status conference, the clerk's office produced a CD within approximately 3 hours. Forensic analysis reveals the recording is fabricated:
| Anomaly | Significance |
|---|---|
| File size: 3.4MB for 26 minutes | Impossibly small except for brand-new compression algorithms that weren't around in 2014. Voice-quality WMA requires ~6.2MB minimum. |
| WMA format | Federal courts use FTR systems recording in WAV or proprietary formats, not consumer WMA. |
| Three audible "tape splices" | Digital recordings don't have splices. Evidence of editing/assembly. |
| No "we are on the record" statement | Every federal proceeding begins with case identification. This recording does not. |
| Days of week don't match 2014 | Recording refers to "Tuesday the 13th" and "Wednesday the 14th"—this matches October 2015, not 2014. |
| Judge says "Next Monday is Wednesday" | Nonsensical. No real judge would say this. AI generation artifact. |
"Meet and confer by Monday, October 13, send letter by Tuesday, October 14"
October 13, 2014 was a Monday. ✓
"Meet and confer by Tuesday, letter by Wednesday"
October 13, 2015 was a Tuesday. Wrong year.
Conclusion: The clerk's office fabricated an audio recording using the wrong year's calendar, delivered it within hours of the request, and charged $60.50 for it.
Two judgment documents exist in the docket with contradictory information:
| Document | Conviction Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Doc 377 – JUDGMENT | Guilty by PLEA | Not stricken, not filed in error |
| Doc 379 – AMENDED JUDGMENT | Guilty by VERDICT | "Sentence Amended due to clerical error" |
Key observations:
Theory: A phantom plea exists somewhere in the system. The defendant's waiver of appearance may have been modified into a plea agreement. The trial was theater to legitimize a predetermined conviction.
Defense attorney Marc Robert met secretly with prosecution on October 14, 2014. The defendant was not present. The next day, Robert sent this letter to Judge Khalsa:
"As directed, counsel for all parties met on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 to attempt to resolve or define the remaining issues presented in the discovery motion [Doc. 57] filed on January 28, 2014 by Mr. Channon's previous counsel. We believe that we have addressed or resolved all of the issues raised in the motion, and that an evidentiary hearing will not be necessary."
What Robert surrendered in that meeting—all 42 items from Sirignano's aggressive discovery motion:
The scheduled evidentiary hearing—where defense expert Tim Bryan would have testified about chain of custody problems with the seized computers—was "terminated" via unnumbered docket entry the next day.
Why this matters: The prosecution couldn't let defense examine the computers because they needed to contain evidence planted after seizure to create parallel construction. Tim Bryan would have discovered the timestamps didn't match. The entire case would have collapsed.
This is not prosecutorial misconduct. This is stalking—using the machinery of federal prosecution as the weapon. This IS organized crime hiding in the ranks of government.
| Stalking Behavior | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Unwanted persistent attention | 15 years of involvement in ALL of defendant's legal cases, including divorce, custody, employment |
| Surveillance network | Multiple informants have explicitly admitted being paid to monitor/report on defendant |
| Isolation of victim (taxpayer-funded) | Systematic bribing of friends, family, business partners to cut contact |
| Physical contact | Visited defendant at MDC Brooklyn posing as corrections trainee, conducted frisk |
| Control of victim's life | Keeping victim poor, geographically contained, unable to rebuild |
| Retaliation for resistance | Two illegal mental commitments when defendant gathered critical evidence of her gang's wrongdoing |
| Refuses to stop | Case closed for years, still filing notices, still monitoring, still controlling |
The federal prosecutor has stated in filings that defendant "never acknowledged that his conduct was wrong." This is the stalker's justification: he won't submit, so I must continue.
| Document | Description | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Doc 135 | SEALED letter surrendering all discovery | Obtained—shows defense sabotage |
| Docs 142-150 | SEALED "Tax applications" re: both defendants | Judge ordered unsealed (see Doc 162), but clerk refuses to comply. Cooperation agreement hiding somewhere in the system. |
| Doc 162 | SEALED Order by Herrera re: Docs 142-150 | Obtained—orders the clerk to unseal the documents above. The clerk is defying the judge's own order. |
| PSR | Presentence Investigation Report | Would reveal any plea deals. Probation refuses to provide a copy. Significance cannot be overstated. |
The defendant is entitled to court orders in his own case. These documents are being withheld to conceal the cooperation agreement with co-defendant and the predetermined nature of the proceedings.

Venue: Because the conspirators hacked court systems and filed forged documents in multiple federal circuits, prosecution could originate in the Southern District of New York (2nd Circuit), Eastern District of Pennsylvania (3rd Circuit), District of Colorado (10th Circuit), District of Vermont, or District of the Virgin Islands—any jurisdiction where the fraud touched down. SDNY in particular has jurisdiction over the forged 2nd Circuit dismissal order and would have strong interest in prosecuting attacks on their circuit's integrity.
