Welcome to my site
I'm a real person who made the mistake of standing up to attorneys for a decade. It was foolish but it happened.
I was shy and had hid from the world for 25 years. It should have stayed that way.
But in 2012 my father Jim and one brother, Tom, sued me to get a gag order about Jim beating up my mother Grace. I said, um, no, and dealt with the cases. I won but I ended up homeless after a lifetime of hard work. Things were never quiet again.
Jim used to be VP of Transamerica, and Tom was VP of Concentra, Humana, and Hanger, Inc. Another brother, Ken, runs or used to run Amazon's secret Lab126 and was the lead designer of the Kindle. There was a lot of talk about the Bible but no connection with a God. It was legalistic. So, it was a Religious Tech Corporate Violent type of family.
These people weren't very nice but I can't say that it wasn't interesting.
There were echoes over the years but 2021 was the big one. I tried to do the right thing and attracted the attention of a hostile group. The group had access to a great deal of money. Some of the money had been stolen from Blacks and Asians and so there was going to be more.
This time, the truth wasn't going to be enough. The Courts don't care about that.
This is the last time that I do this but I
have no choice but to see it through. They aren't
offering me
a choice. I can do phone calls, text
messages, Zoom, or in-person meetings depending on location and
air travel cost.
Short for Attorneys:
An auto dealership is alleged by an ex-employee to have targeted minorities for fraud. I posted his statement in 2021 as well as one by a customer. As an interesting note, the customer was Fox TV's Reality P.I. years ago and a skilled P.I. presently in real life.
The controversial part is that the employees involved are Muslims. The Muslims seem to have taken control of operations a decade ago in a lawsuit which alleged that they were the ones discriminated against. The ex-employee has now filed the same type of lawsuit against them.
I ended up with two WVROs and one defamation suit against me. The cases are a year old and might have another year to go. I retained two attorneys. One attorney had to drop out but is still in communication.
There is no workplace and there is no violence. A typical allegation is that I emailed a “non-White” attorney when I could have written to a “White” one and that is evidence of racial hatred. There is more to it and I take responsibility where I should. However, the cases are abusive. People need to know that this can happen.
This is the town and these are the people:
* Opposing Counsel: Christine Long of Berliner-Cohen, CA SBN 199676. Christine is quite a character.
* Petitioner for defamation case: Henry Khachaturian. Henry is deceased but he is quite active for a dead man.
* Petitioner for WVRO #1: Fremont-Toyota auto dealership. This case is based in part on a LinkedIn photo of Kamel Sayed Hashimi.
* Petitioner for WVRO #2: Berliner-Cohen law firm. The law firm itself is alleging threats of mass violence.
* General Manager of Fremont-Toyota: Kamal Sayed Hashimi aka “Mark” Hashimi. Sam Pawar says that Kamal Sayed uses the “Mark” name with White people and the Kamal Sayed name with Muslims.
* Respondent: Robert Kiraly
* Key witness: Sam Pawar aka Kulwant S. Pawar, ex-employee of Fremont-Toyota
* Key witness: Brian Martin, a Bay Area P.I. as well as Fox TV's former “Reality P.I.”
* Attorney for Sam Pawar: Richard Oriakhi, CA SBN 193797. Sam alleges that Richard gave him a pre-written false statement to sign. This seems to have been felony conspiracy on Christine Long's part. Click here.
* Intermittent attorney for Respondent: Nabiel Ahmed, CA SBN 247397
* Attorney for Respondent: Seth Wiener, CA SBN 203747
* Registrar for Internet domains at issue: Namecheap
* Namecheap's attorney: Eugene Rome, CA SBN 232780. You can Google him.
* Foundation involved: Khachaturian Foundation. This is one of California's wealthiest non-profits.
* Church involved: Armenian Apostolic Church.
* One of the Muslim employees involved:
Raffi Hashemi.
* Likely source of funds for Berliner-Cohen: Daphne Khachaturian aka Kavich and Natasha Azzam aka Khachaturian aka “Tasha Torian”. Note: S.F. Bay Area auto fraud attorneys are familiar with the Khachaturian and “Torian” names.
* Female employee who made detailed abuse allegations against “Mark” Hashimi: Rachel Ghiringhelli.
Sam Pawar has stated that some of the employees at Fremont-Toyota are related by marriage to Kamal Sayed Hashimi. However, it's believed that there is no connection between the “Hashimi” and “Hashemi” names listed here.
Short sketch:
This was drafted initially on Christmas Day 2022:
I'm a senior citizen with 45 years of data and code experience. I spent the past decade partly as a fraud detection analyst for two national chains.
In 2021, a P.I. asked me to look at a Fremont-Toyota truck purchase because he suspected fraud. There was no doubt that fraud had occurred. I put the story online.
In late 2021, an ex-employee of Fremont-Toyota came forward. He said that Muslims at the dealership targeted minorities for fraud because they considered minorities to be “smelly”. The EEOC had reviewed his story and it was consistent with the P.I.'s experience. I put that story online too.
Fremont-Toyota filed anti-violence restraining orders against the P.I. and me shortly after that. However, I didn't learn about any cases against me until February 2022. They didn't file against the ex-employee because they're trying to pretend he doesn't exist.
The allegations against me include odd parts such as the fact
that I said I'd go to the police. The law office suggested that
this was a threat
of violence. The cases in general imply that the P.I. and I
made up stories in the hopes of inciting people to
physically
attack the
Muslims.
In January 2022, Fremont-Toyota and their law firm Berliner-Cohen served the P.I. with one of the ROs. I emailed that side to make the case that they had no case. That was stupid of me.
They broke into a bank account to find me; I spoke directly by phone with one of the blackhats. They filed two more lawsuits against me. Their process server committed burglary and threatened a 78-year-old man. They threatened the ex-employee to intimidate him into retracting a statement; he refused. They committed actual perjury.
In short, their feathers were ruffled and they were going to “disappear” me by any means necessary, legal or illegal.
Note: I wasn't even in the same County as the 78-year-old man. This was a military veteran who'd served our country with honor. He wasn't pleased to find a large angry stranger confronting him at night in a closed backyard.
I'd have shut up if they'd just asked me.
However, there was no attempt at discussion or
engagement.
I retained two attorneys for the three lawsuits. The first was Muslim. We dined after dusk at Ramadan. He was faithful to the rules but said that the fast didn't make him feel well. We talked about belief and commitment.
Both attorneys seemed confident. But the first had a breakdown due to fear of losing his children in a custody case. I fired him. He said, “you're still going to work on my case, aren't you?” I did some minor work on his filings and he got access to his kids. He bought each of us a steak to celebrate. That much is positive.
The second attorney ended up handling all three cases. He's unusually reliable in some respects.
It didn't help that I referred to Christine Long, lead counsel for Fremont-Toyota, as a rapist of an attorney. She took offense at that and sued me herself.
It's a year later. I have 10 to 15 years to live. I mostly want to live quietly and work on my books. But these people are set on smashing up my life and this might go for another year. It's harshing the mellow.
There are some odd parts to the story. I figure maybe I can find a way to do something with the odd parts.
Merry Christmas!
Odd parts:
The odd parts include:
* Ethnic hatred and hate speech.
A whistle-blower named Sam Pawar has alleged that a core group of Fremont-Toyota employees targeted minorities for fraud. He's stated that the employees viewed minorities as “smelly”.
The employees, Sam added, made statements directly to him such as “Mother F*cker you can't call us brother because you aren't Muslim” and “Go and complain to your Hindu god also and no one will help you”.
It seems impolite. It's unlikely that Mohammed would be fully on board with this.
Sam was pressured, he alleged, to state that he never made a statement to me. However, this writer has about 40 pages of text messages which prove that he did. Emails as well.
Would you like to read some of the text messages? The messages that Berliner-Cohen doesn't want you see? Here you go. They're at this link.
And would you like to see what Berliner-Cohen tried to do about
the text messages? Perhaps the email at
this link
will be interesting.
* Allegations by Rachel Ghiringhelli against Mark Hashimi.
A P.I. named Brian Martin has stated that in mid-January 2022 a Fremont-Toyota manager named Rachel Ghiringhelli phoned Brian to discuss a Fremont-Toyota manager named Mark Hashimi. Note: Mark's legal name is believed to be Kamal Sayed Hashimi.
Mark Hashimi is the most important figure, from a legal perspective, at Fremont-Toyota per se.
One odd part is that Brian was under a restraining order at the time which prohibited him from contacting Rachel. Rachel phoned Brian regardless.
Rachel Ghiringhelli, Brian said, made detailed allegations about Mark Hashimi of Fremont-Toyota engaging in offensive and/or abusive conduct. Rachel seems to have spent half an hour talking about Mark and harassment.
This site believes that Rachel's allegations are false and, pending cross-exam, this site doesn't assert as a fact that they were even made. The statements made here are a paraphrase of statements made by Brian Martin.
If Rachel made false allegations against Mark, it wasn't a crime in the context of false allegations per se but Mark would have a defamation case against Rachel.
To read a few text messages from Brian Martin related to the phone call from Rachel Ghiringhelli, click here. Note: The linked PDF has been filed with the Court.
* Conspiracy to fake violations of TRO.
If Rachel Ghiringhelli's allegations of abusive conduct by Mark Hashimi were false, the motive for the allegations would seem to be to use the conduct allegations against Mark to set up false allegations of TRO violations against P.I. Brian Martin and this writer. Attorney Christine Long of Berliner-Cohen might have been involved but this is unproven.
A conspiracy of this nature would arguably be a prosecutable crime.
* Witness intimidation.
Sam Pawar was an ex-employee of Fremont-Toyota who alleged that he was directed to sign a false statement. Sam alleged as well that false statements and/or threats were made to him over a period of months to induce cooperation with litigation against P.I. Brian Martin and this writer. This part seems to be a possible prosecutable crime.
It's interesting to note that Berliner-Cohen has tried in filings to pretend that Sam doesn't exist. The fact that he exists is awkward both for the law firm and for Fremont-Toyota.
To read a related letter from Sam Pawar, click here.
* Humorous perjury by Mark Hashimi.
Mark alleged that I'd posted a photo of him that I'd taken in person and that was “scary”. It was his LinkedIn photo. One of my attorneys did a suborn perjury filing on that one. The Court didn't do anything but perjury is a prosecutable crime.
The LinkedIn page is pasted below. The small image of Hashimi above or to the right is the one that I used. Judge for yourself.
* Khachaturian Foundation.
A few organizations besides Fremont-Toyota seem to be connected to the situation. One is Khachaturian Foundation. Details are at this link. This is believed to be one of California's most cash-rich foundations.
The key figures in Khachaturian Foundation are believed to include the heirs of Henry Khachaturian, believed to be the previous owner of Fremont-Toyota. Henry is also known as Hank Torian.
The heirs are believed to include Daphne Kavich and Natasha Azzam aka Tasha Torian.
In an unusual note, Henry has apparently sued
me even though he's been dead sinced mid-2021. In short,
Henry Khachaturian's ghost has sued me. This is illegal as
well as confusing. However, objections are only likely to slow down
these people a bit.
If the people behind Khachaturian Foundation own Fremont-Toyota now, it's a problem because they seem to be funding one or more of the lawsuits against me indirectly and these are wealthy people. Abuse of process is about who has money for attorneys. Everything else is “let's pretend”.
The Khachaturian Foundation is connected, in turn, to the Armenian Apostolic Church. It seems likely that money flows from Fremont-Toyota to the Church by way of the Foundation. If this is true, it would include money obtained by any or all means.
Half a century ago, I had a dear friend named Peggy. She was different as I am. Peggy, you were supposed to always be there.
Peggy had a difficult life but there was something she
loved above all else. It was the composer
Aram Khachaturian. If the Khachaturian Foundation people are related
to the composer, I don't feel that they're worthy of the name.
* Fremont-Toyota's position on the police.
I noticed that Berliner-Cohen had visited the initial websites.
I said I'd talk to the police or the FBI. Christine Long said that
this was a threat of murderous violence. I don't understand.
* The “non-White” attorney.
I suggested State Bar mediation as well. Christine Long said that that was ethnic hatred because I'd Cc'd the suggestion to a, quote, “non-White” attorney.
Christine's logic was that I'd chosen to write to a “non-White” attorney who wasn't a partner instead of a “White” attorney who was a partner. This, she said, meant that I'd decided to harass the “non-White” attorney because of his race.
But Berliner-Cohen had refused to tell me who the partners were or who I should write to.
I don't even know the race of the attorney that I wrote to for sure. I think that he's Chinese-American. Like my sister-in-law and two of my nephews.
* The Court Orders that never existed.
Christine Long stated in a filing that attorney Michael Bonetto had told her I'd violated Court Orders in the past. The problem for Christine in the future State Bar complaint is that no orders ever even existed in Bonetto's cases other than TROs and she wasn't talking about TROs.
My father Jim broke my mother Grace's nose. Jim and my brother Tom sued me to get a gag order about it. The Court lost its patience with those cases and told the attorneys to get out. There was no finding or settlement in the Court's jurisdiction.
I'd guess that if the State Bar asks Michael
to comment, he'll
confirm that he didn't tell Christine anything about orders
that never existed. If he doesn't
confirm what he knows he needs to confirm, he'll be admitting
that he violated standards himself.
Long has further alleged that I'm under past ROs right now. If that is so, nobody has troubled themselves to tell me about it. Nor has a records search turned up any such thing.
I don't have much discipline recourse at the cases level when false allegations are made. But if it's prima facie that Long has consciously lied in writing, it might be different at other levels. And these aren't the only conscious lies that Christine Long has put into writing.
* Neurodiverse isn't worse.
I alluded to the fact that I'm autistic and tried to speak lightly about it. For what it's worth, I don't wear a Green Lantern T-shirt the way that the Sheldon TV character does. My life doesn't have a laugh track. But I'm honest, kind, reliable, and supportive of people who need it.
For 20 years I talked mostly to the homeless. They used to hug me. I didn't understand why. The reason was that I was able to see them. Normals don't see those who make them uncomfortable.
Christine Long responded with attempts to characterize autism as mental
illness and frightening. This isn't about being a good attorney by
winning cases for clients. It's about being made of hatred.
* Television P.I.s are frightening.
Brian Martin was a television P.I. years ago as well as a genuine P.I. If I remember correctly, Christine Long cited the fact that Brian Martin had been a television P.I. as frightening and grounds for a restraining order. Um.
Note to self: Find this one and paste exact quote here.
* The “Jihadi” issue.
In January 2022 Brian Martin was served with an abusive restraining order. I wasn't served, myself. I emailed Christine Long and Mark Hashimi to make the case that there was no case against Brian. I included the Farsi version of Surah 9:67 from the Qur'an:
“The hypocrite men and hypocrite women are all alike. They enjoin
what is wrong and forbid what is right and close their hands. They've
forgotten Allah, so He's forgotten them.”
I challenged Mark Hashimi directly as well:
“The Qur'an uses the word 'jihad' in two general contexts: the internal struggle, 'al-jihad fi sabil Allah', and the external one. The inner struggle is praiseworthy. The external one, not so much. The latter ranges from, on the mildest side, those who proselytize to, on the most dangerous side, Muslim terrorists.”
“Do you acknowledge or contest that you personally and/or those under your authority at Fremont-Toyota — as a group and not as isolated cases — are absolutely and unquestionably 'Jihadis' that fall right in the middle of the external-jihad scale?”
The part about “terrorist” is a definition from Wikipedia. Christine removed the context for the quote, which I believe is a violation of evidence rules, and has used the word “Jihadi” ever since as a club. That email and that word are a key element of the legal cases against me.
I regret not being more careful with wording that the other side could misrepresent. However, the point was valid: there was no case against P.I. Brian Martin. These cases and the fact that the other side might not face consequences for its conduct don't seem appropriate.
There is more to it, of course. All allegations should be addressed. This site will tell the story from the start including the parts this page skips.
The site will include case materials and statements by the people involved.
Pleadings, objections, exhibits, etc., will be added in due course. Exhibits will include documents from both sides.

Legal note:
If legal tests are met, it's completely legal to use a company's name or a person's name as part of a domain name whether or not you hold rights to the name. Again, taking the tests into account, it's not even a trademark violation.
In short, domain names aren't “cyberstalking”, “cybersquatting”, “harassment”, “impersonation”, or any crime in the Universe unless the definition of the crime is met. Facts do matter.
