Stop Conservatorship Abuse

Jeffrey Baron needs your help!

 

You've heard of the Brittany Spears conservatorship, but you probably didn't realize that this abuse can happen to any American.  The story you are about to read is shocking and sad, but true.  If you believe in the principles of Truth, Justice, and the American Way, prepare to be stunned. Even I – Jeff’s mother – struggle to understand how this could happen in the United States of America. Everything discussed below can be verified through public records. I have two goals: to get justice for my son and to do everything I can to make sure no one has to go through what Jeff experienced over the past 10+ years. I humbly ask for any donation you make. From my heart, I thank you for taking the time to visit this site.

Now buckle up! It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Jeffrey Baron has been fighting a group of attorneys who are determined to squash him, personally. The irony is that the attorneys Jeff has been fighting are the attorneys Jeff hired 10 years ago to represent him.

My Testimony to Congress:

What Was Jeff's Crime”?

 

Jeff was accused of not paying his lawyers enough money and firing them after they demanded more. The alleged "firing" supposedly delayed a civil lawsuit after it had been completely settled. All of the "charges" have been plainly demonstrated to be fabricated. Despite this, the lawyers spun a false narrative in which they labeled Jeff “vexatious”, a legal term for filing frivolous lawsuits without being represented by a lawyer. None of this remotely applied to Jeff. In fact, Jeff had always been represented by a lawyer until the court stripped him of that right

In Summary,

 

● Jeff was stripped of all constitutional rights, including his right to have a lawyer, right to vote, right to decide his own medical care, and right to travel.

● Jeff was never charged with any crime.

● All of Jeff's possessions were taken without due process. Assets seized included his home, phone, car and documents, all of which were liquidated and distributed to government lawyers.

● The judge made Jeff property of the court and ordered Jeff to work indefinitely for the court and court’s lawyers without compensation. It gave “possession and control” over Jeff to a "receiver".

● Jeff was barred from leaving the district, from owning anything, from earning any money, etc. . ..

● The judge gave “immunity” to himself and all other perpetrators of these illegal acts, so that Jeff would have no recourse.

● The judge set precedent that the courts can seize any American’s property and place him/her in virtual slavery without due process and without any liability.

 

Eventually, the court of appeals deemed the receivership and over 80 related orders “unconstitutional” and ordered Jeff’s rights restored and property returned to him “expeditiously”. Netsphere, Inc. v. Baron, 703 F.3d 296, 313. It was all supposed to end here. However, the judge refused to return Jeff’s assets. Instead, he stepped down from the bench.

 

Could You Be Next? 

 

The entire Judicial system is watching to see how this ends. Should lawyers be legally allowed to profit from something that is clearly illegal? Will this precedent be overturned? How will it be used in the future on more American citizens?

 

Why Should you Care?

 

Simply put, Jeff has been persecuted by a self-serving Federal judge and an army of Dallas lawyers, proving one thing to us all... if a judge is determined to arbitrarily destroy your life, the judge can do it, leaving you broke, enslaved, and buried under piles of documents until you run out of resources. In Jeff's key case, which was later overturned by the appeals court, the original judge ‘s order went a step further. He prohibited Jeff from hiring any legal defense and boasted of his power to employ the military to destroy anybody who appealed or questioned his orders.

 

Why Donate?

 

Emerging grassroots support is encouraging. By donating, you will help not only Jeff but also others who struggle against a system that is not always fair and impartial. Here is our plan:

 

● Retain a lawyer to defend Jeff from ongoing legal issues (now that the court has reversed its ban on Jeff having a lawyer).

 

● Raise awareness of corruption in the legal system.

 

● Form a public interest advocacy group to assist others who find themselves in a similar situation.

 

● Hire legal researchers to uncover improprieties in the handling of assets to bring justice to those who have leveraged nearly $1 billion from Jeff's estate.

 

● Set an effective precedent to the entire legal community that destructive judicial activism cannot go unpunished.

 

This is an invitation to people who might be able to assist in other ways. We seek righteous individuals with a passion for truth and justice to join us.

Comments from Other Attorneys: 

 

“What happened to Baron, can happen to anyone. The system is obviously broken. . . The judge in the case allowed them to thoroughly corrupt the legal process. Baron was stripped of most of his constitutional rights without due process, and then stripped of his assets.”

- Conrad Herring, Esq. San Diego, CA

 

“Although Baron was successful in his appeal of the unlawful receivership order, he is still today, five years later, fighting to recover the assets that were illegally taken from him.”

- Conrad Herring, Esq. San Diego, CA

 

“These rulings are totally unconstitutional; they violate the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments, and ... he ought to be impeached.”

 - Former U.S. Congress leader Tom Delay

For More Details About This Nightmare, Read Below:

First , you should know more about Jeff. At age 3, Jeff was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and other serious medical conditions. Graduating with highest honors from the University of Texas at Austin, he was hired at Mary Kay corporate headquarters,

where he spent his free time exploring new technologies … and created something revolutionary.

In 1999, the internet was young and hungry for new ideas. Jeff recognized the potential. He put his small savings to use, betting it all to create technology that made it easier for people to navigate the Internet. Jeff developed unique insight into the underpinnings of the Internet. He used his invention to acquire domain names which he believed would become useful to Internet users. Businesses clamored to hitch their wagons to Jeff’s horse. The 700,000+ domain names Jeff had worked hard to register were worth approximately $1 billion. By the early 2000’s, Jeff’s operation rivaled Google.

 

Instead of spending his money on a lavish lifestyle, Jeff contributed much of his earnings to a philanthropic cause close to his heart -- finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes and established an irrevocable research trust for that purpose. Unfortunately, others were not so magnanimous.

 

As explained by a lawyer in the lawsuit, “Jeff [Baron] mined gold from the Internet by developing an alternative backbone to the Internet’s domain name infrastructure. And like the miners who struck gold in the days of old, unscrupulous predators found Jeff’s gold too tempting to resist.”

 

Hundreds of people/businesses wanted to join Jeff. One potential investor made an especially strong pitch – he promised that his company, Netsphere, would develop a search engine for Jeff that would surpass Google. All Jeff had to do was establish a joint business venture. Jeff decided to partner with the investor.

 

Several years later, Jeff noticed discrepancies in financial records. A deeper dive showed that the investor had embezzled approximately $8 million from the diabetes research trust. Jeff hired an attorney and filed a lawsuit. He did not anticipate the dirty legal tricks the investor’s lawyers had lined up.

 

Using the embezzled money, the investor hired an army of lawyers who attacked Jeff ferociously. First, the investor’s lawyers counter-sued Jeff in six courts throughout the US. The investor lost in all courts. Next, he turned to a federal court in Texas. This time it was different. The judge had familial and other improper relationships with Jeff’s adversaries.

 

Netsphere Case

 

At the very first hearing, the judge made numerous threats to Jeff without any justification:

 

“You realize that order is an order of the Court. So any failure to comply with that order is contempt, punishable by lots of dollars, punishable by possible jail, death” . . . “You want to challenge the court order. I have the marshals behind me. I can come to your house, pick you up, put you in jail. I can seize your property; do anything I need to do to enforce my orders. I'm telling you don't screw with me. You are a fool, a fool, a fool, a fool to screw with a federal judge, and if you don't understand that, I can make you understand it. I have the force of the Navy, Army, Marines and Navy behind me.” Certified Court Transcript  Because of the judge's threats, Jeff's lawyers resigned. 

The opposition lawyers eventually forced Jeff into a very unfavorable settlement. The investor promised to return only $3 million of the $8 million embezzled from the research trust. That trust was still valued at over $500 million. In exchange, Jeff was promised “peace” and to be able to go on with his business free of legal problems. Jeff believed in the promises made to him and signed the settlement agreement, performed all of his obligations under it, and waited for the lawsuit to be dismissed as required in the agreement. That never happened, and Jeff fought back. To squelch Jeff, a false narrative was concocted to create the appearance that Jeff was a bad person. False “charges’ were created that Jeff fired dozens of lawyers without paying them and that he was vexatious (e.g., filing multiple minor motions). These allegations were proven to be completely fabricated. Jeff defending himself further enraged the judge, who took even more drastic actions.

 

Although the case was already settled and Jeff had fully complied, the judge held an off-record meeting with Jeff’s adversaries. He ordered a “receivership”, a court-imposed custodial arrangement where a lawyer is appointed to manage assets and liabilities. Legally, a receivership is only imposed over assets—not people. This order had a new twist—Jeff was placed in the receivership along with his assets. For the first time since 1865, an American citizen became a legal slave , forced to do whatever the court demanded with no compensation or recourse and forbidden from having a lawyer or trial. He was literally deemed "property" and stripped of all constitutional rights and possessions. In the words of New York Attorney David Relkin, “The only accurate analogy to Baron’s situation is that he became an inmate at Guantanamo Bay." The ultimate irony is Jeff was not even being accused of a crime.

 

Everything that Jeff owned was seized, including the Type 1 Diabetes Research Trust that had an approximate value of $1 billion. The judge did not have any basis to support any of these actions. The receivership became a money pit for lawyers, who claimed millions of dollars of fees from the research trust for doing nothing but persecuting Jeff.

 

All of the assets and trust were ultimately distributed among other attorneys, judges, and Chinese cyber pirates . The judge made it clear that this was just the beginning:

 

"This is going on and on and on until Mr. Baron has nothing. I mean, actually, everything is depleted. I gather that Mr. Baron is worth lots of money. But it may be that we sell all the domain names. We may sell all his stock. We may cash in all of his CD's, and we may seize all of his bank accounts." See court transcript (p.9).

Jeff's Current Fight

 

In another unexpected twist, Jeff’s attorney, who called Jeff’s adversaries “unscrupulous predators,” became the most unscrupulous predator of all because …in his own words he found Jeff’s “gold … too tempting to resist”.

 

Now Jeff is trying to get back the property his former lawyer stole from him.
