Click here for Hashimi-Campos divorce papers

More importantly, in the context of a pending defamation trial, I be­lieve that Ms. Campos cited a fear that Kamal Sayed Hashimi aka Mark Hashimi was going to steal her money as one of her primary concerns.

In short, I've been sued in part for com­ment­ing on actual mass fraud that Mark Hashimi is be­lieved to have in­volved in — when Hashimi's own wife booted him out be­cause, she said, he was going to take her money and run away with it to Afghanistan.

The fact that Hashimi and Campos reached some sort of deal subsequently doesn't significantly affect the point.

Rachel Ghiringhelli's al­le­ga­tions against Mark Hashimi:

In a very odd move, in two of the Fremont-Toyota fraud re­la­ted hearings Christine Long went after my most obscure exhibit with attacks that were difficult to fol­low. She seemed to be alleging that the exhibit had been faked but it wasn't clear.

Long's focus on such a minor exhibit has led me to reassess its importance. Here is a screen­shot version, one that can be proved to be genuine:

Brian Martin didn't even say who “she” is here. And “she” and Brian didn't want to talk publicly about why, exactly, Brian felt that he'd be “f*cked” if he talked about the conversation.

So, this exhibit probably couldn't have been used despite its potential significance.

However, Christine Long decided to make an issue of these text messages. So, as this was Ms. Long's decision, the “she” in the messages, according to Brian Martin, was Rachel Ghiringhelli, an ex-employee of Fremont-Toyota. I've ex­plain­ed elsewhere what Brian said that Rachel's call to him was about.

I didn't be­lieve Rachel G.'s al­le­ga­tions against “Mark” Hashimi for 1.5 years. I'm not sure that I be­lieve any of it now. But Mark's and Christine's focus on this exhibit is a sign that the dis­cus­sion between Rachel and Brian was sig­ni­fi­cant. It isn't pos­si­ble to sim­ply wave away what is said in the screen­shot.

Mark Hashimi and Brian Martin email

This page holds primarily email between Mark Hashimi aka Kamal Sayed Hashimi and P.I. Brian Martin. We've retained part of the 2021 version that discusses our attempts to identify Mark.

To read Court filings with more re­la­ted to Mark Hashimi, use the fol­low­ing links:

We'd like to call your attention to Mark Hashimi's June 29, 2021 let­ter further down. Mark sounds exact­ly like a 6-year-old caught with his hands in the cookie jar, doesn't he?

Hashimi identification issue

When we start­ed these sites, we need­ed to fig­ure out who Mark Hashimi actu­al­ly was. Because, as it hap­pen­ed, his real name wasn't “Mark”.

Mark's cell-phone num­ber [redacted] [stated by Mark himself in email below] was asso­ci­a­ted with a man named Kamal Sayed Hashimi. This didn't prove much by it­self but Kamal Sayed Hashimi had the fol­low­ing email address:

markhashimi@gmail.com

We had a match. The match was con­firm­ed later by Fremont-Toya ex-employee Sam Pawar, who con­firm­ed that Kamal Sayed used that name at work. “Mark” was just a fake name, Sam indicated, used with white peo­ple who might be prejudiced against Muslims.

DOB was July 1972. Kamal Sayed is getting old but so are the rest of us.

Past research here into marital status for identification and lit­i­ga­tion purposes has been superseded by the Court filing at this link.

Editor's notes:

(a) The photo of Mark Hashimi is used under Fair Use re­la­ted to pro­se­cu­ta­ble crimes that Mr. Hashimi is be­lieved to have com­mit­ted and/or be in­volved with. DMCA-re­la­ted notes and con­tact infor­ma­tion will be add­ed to the Notices page.

See also the note re­la­ted to perjury at the start of this page.

(b) This is be­lieved to be a fairly accurate tran­scrip­tion. How­ever, the editor has assembled the thread manual­ly from copies in dif­fer­ent formats. So, there may be errors and omis­sions.

(c) Brian usually signs his emails with a stand­ard tem­plate. To reduce use of ver­tical space, we've omit­ted part of the tem­plate here.

Note, also, that it isn't pos­si­ble to pro­vide the orig­inal papers be­cause Hugo Alcan­tar physi­cal­ly took some of them out of my hands and stole them.

Subject: Loan Fraud

Mr. Hashimi, it's a pleasure to hear from you.

01. If you didn't under­stand the email, that isn't a problem.

Your cus­tom­ers, Toyota Nation­al, personal and business associ­ates of yours, and parties of other types will under­stand the copy on the web­site per­fect­ly well. We imag­ine that they'll be able to explain it to you in sim­ple terms.

02. It's going to be ranked pretty high in Google, Mark. We're already on the first page for the fol­low­ing search. Go head, type the fol­low­ing 4 words into Google:

fremont-toyota loan fraud

Editor's note: For this to work, you need to tell Google, when it asks, that the word “fraud” needs to be in­clud­ed. If you do that, these sites are at #1 in Google already as of July 2021.

03. This said, are you able to point to the words in the follow­ing para­graph that you're not able to under­stand?

"These are not scans of the orig­inal pages be­cause Hugo Alcan­tar of Fremont-Toyota physi­cal­ly took orig­inal pages out of my hands on Decem­ber 29, 2021 and stole them. In fact, the copies that were scan­ned to produce this PDF appear to be color photo­copies that have been altered by Mr. Alcan­tar or other par­ties at Fremont-Toyota for the pur­poses of fraud. They are not orig­inals with my orig­inal sig­na­ture or sig­na­tures. Only Mr. Alcan­tar and/or his associ­ates know where the orig­inals are."

If this is too difficult for some­body who pre­sum­a­bly has at least a 6th Grade edu­ca­tion to under­stand, we regret this.

04. We have text messages which prove that the post-sale meet­ing with Hugo took place. We also have the email that Hugo was fool­ish enough to send that evening. In fact, all of this is on the web­site.

What was the docu­ment that Hugo email­ed even sup­posed to be, Mr. Hashimi? How will you explain it to Toyota Nation­al or in other venues?

05. Yes, the sig­na­tures match. The point isn't entirely clear. The pages in ques­tion are photo­copies of the orig­inals, so of course the sig­na­tures match.

You're invited to re­view the orig­inals. This would be a sim­ple mat­ter as they're in your pos­ses­sion.

06. You sug­gest­ed a phone call. Thank you, perhaps at a later date. For the time being, let's keep things in wri­ting.

Phone calls aren't ruled out. However, please be advised that any phone calls between par­ties on this side and Fremont-Toyota may be record­ed and tran­scrib­ed.

07. On a re­la­ted note:

Communications between any parties -- including but not lim­it­ed to tran­scrip­tions of phone calls -- or statements, events, actions, or facts dis­cover­ed that are be­lieved to be rela­ted to Fremont-Toyota and/or parties associ­ated direct­ly or indirect­ly with the cur­rent matter may be quoted, analyzed, post­ed, blogged, email­ed, snail-mailed, or dis­tributed or made use of as is deemed appro­pri­ate.

08. We reserve the right to make use of Fremont-Toyota and/or Toyota intel­lectual property, as things pro­ceed, under Fair Use and/or Nom­ina­tive Use.

09. If you're not able to under­stand the paragraph quoted in part 03 above, the next step is logical­ly for us to com­muni­cate with such other parties at Fremont-Toyota, Toyota Nation­al, and in var­ious cities in Cali­fornia and else­where who may be able to under­stand the par­a­graph and explain it to you.

Thank you for your time.

Subject: Loan Fraud

Mark, thanks for wri­ting.

1. Um, yes, Hugo Alcan­tar physically stealing the papers and creating forged copies would be loan fraud. Most peo­ple would see this as obvious. You said be­fore that you didn't under­stand. If you have a rudi­men­tary grasp of events after all, that's posi­tive.

2. Regarding “proof it”, you meant to spell that “prove it”. One part of the proof is Hugo's email to me. Once again, Mark, what was the attach­ment even sup­posed to be?

I might add that you can read Hugo's acknow­ledgment of the email online on fremont toyota dot org.

To use a tech­ni­cal term, your decision to sup­port the possi­bly pro­se­cu­ta­ble crimes that Hugo has com­mit­ted means, legal­ly, that you're “hosed”.

Google “RICO law” and “conspiracy charges”. Are you able to fol­low that this may be a crim­inal matter involv­ing 20 years in prison and not sim­ply a civil mat­ter?

3. You didn't read my let­ter closely. I have the option of com­muni­ca­ting with third parties, including associ­ates of yours who may not be delight­ed about the pos­si­bili­ty of facing crim­inal charges on your behalf. I'll pro­ceed to do so.

Threats which characterize communications with you or with others as “harass­ment” will be treat­ed as threats to com­mit abuse of pro­cess. Abuse of pro­cess is potential­ly a pro­se­cu­ta­ble crime as well as a tort. So is con­spiracy to com­mit per­jury.

Mark, a threat to commit a crime can be treated as a crime. How deep a legal hole would you like to dig for your­self?

4. Regarding “posting”: Our correspondence will be distri­buted direct­ly to third parties as well as post­ed online. So will other events, facts, or in­for­ma­tion that may be come to light. De­mands for con­fi­den­tial­ity are not valid and will not be honor­ed.

By the way, settlement most like­ly will not include NDA, con­fiden­tiali­ty clauses, anti-dis­par­age­ment clauses, or the like. It'll all be in Google for the long term. So, it'll work out best for you if you don't dig that hole too deep.

Subject: Loan Fraud

Mark, good day.

1. As a first step, the loan par­am­e­ters under dis­cus­sion need to be cor­rect­ed. Addi­tion­al­ly, all costs incur­red on this side need to be addressed.

2. I'll com­ment briefly here on the impact of the actions of Fremont-Toyota on this side. This is for the bene­fit of others who may read this let­ter. It's not realis­tic to assume that you per­sonal­ly will react with more than a shrug.

I have two businesses. I'm a private inves­ti­ga­tor and I also have a com­pany that designs and installs video sur­veil­lance sys­tems. Both busi­nesses were impact­ed by the pan­demic.

My wife lost her job at the beginning of the pan­demic and it never came back. She was self-employed and col­lect­ed no unem­ploy­ment bene­fits. I'm self-employed as well and col­lect­ed no unem­ploy­ment bene­fits either.

So, money was tight. Then we need­ed to replace our old Toyota Tacoma. This was as we approach­ed Christmas 2020 when work and funds were even more limit­ed than usual.

To save money for a down pay­ment, I work­ed a third job at night for Reel Sound and Com­mun­i­ca­tions. It was dif­fi­cult to work both days and nights and not be able to see my family.

We bought a new truck from Fremont-Toyota in good faith. But your peo­ple -- at least two peo­ple and most like­ly four of you count­ing you per­son­al­ly -- stole thou­sands of dol­lars from me and my family. It ap­pears that you may have done this to others be­fore.

It isn't just a civil tort. It's a pro­se­cu­ta­ble crime, “Mark”. Or Kamal Sayed. If it quali­fies as a RICO case, you might be look­ing at 20 years in prison. Even if RICO doesn't apply, prison is a pos­si­bi­li­ty.

3. The loan amount needs to be corrected. The amount that we agreed to is $28,995.00.

4. I paid taxes re­la­ted to the extra $6,000.00 and have paid and am con­tinu­ing to pay extra inter­est on that amount. Add both issues to the list that Fremont-Toyota is going to address.

5. Let's not overlook auto reg­is­tra­tion. I'm stuck paying regi­stra­tion fees for a truck that cost 33,991.00 as opposed to the 28,995.00 that it was sup­posed to cost. How much is the extra in regi­stra­tion fees going to total over the life­time of the truck?

I owned my last Toyota Tacoma for 21 years. I expect to receive at least 15 years worth of the dif­fer­ence.

6. Fremont-Toyota ignored initial inquiries on this matter.

This isn't surprising as it's a prose­cu­ta­ble crime that man­age­ment is in­volved in. However, the time and effort need­ed to get to the cur­rent point will need to be addressed in dol­lar terms. The time and effort have been sig­ni­fi­cant.

7. No compensation that we receive in con­nec­tion with the pro­se­cu­ta­ble crime that Fremont-Toyota has com­mit­ted is going to be posi­tion­ed in any way, shape, or form as tax­able income. Nor will any dodgy or grey-area arrange­ment be accept­able.

As part of this point, a tax per­son and/or an attor­ney may be asked to vet any arrange­ment. You'll cover the costs of such ad­vice.

8. These are the initial points that you need to get start­ed on. It isn't a comp­lete state­ment and noth­ing is waived by omis­sion.

9. Closing note:

“Mark”, I'm not under rep­re­sen­ta­tion yet nor have I filed a police re­port yet. This said, it's ad­vised that you and the oth­ers in­volved con­sid­er the mat­ter care­ful­ly be­fore you test the waters again to see what type of games you might be able to get away with.
