Handwritten Lawsuit Accuses Google Having A Name Similar To Accuser's Social Security Number
from the plaintiff-and-defendant(s)-have-a-responsibility-to-fight-the-war-on-terrorism dept
We've seen some really bizarre and silly lawsuits filed against Google over the years, but this latest one wins hands down. Eric Goldman gets all the credit in the world for sending this one over. Someone has filed a handwritten lawsuit against Google, asking for $5 billion in damages, because his social security number, when turned upside down and scrambled spells Google. And then it gets weirder. The war on terrorism makes an appearance, as does a Burton snowboard. If you're reading this via RSS, click on through to see the filing in all its handwritten glory. Update: As pointed out in the comments, the guy actually filed 8 other things with the court, including a rather detailed description of how the Philadelphia 76ers play a key role in the code to unscramble his social security number to spell Google.

Wonderful Complaint
Hey, for a rambling piece of garbage, this is pretty well written. Why doesn't he just go ahead and sue Yahoo and Microsoft, while he's at it. Oh, right, the scrambled and turned upside-down angle. Oh well, good luck with that, pro se plaintiff, in forma pauperis. Classic.
Something tells me he's going to get his Burton Snowboard repo'd from him when Google files their malicious prosecution suit against him, but maybe they won't bother.

Jack Thompson moved to PA and changed his name?
Hmmm.... Jack Thompson may want to take note of this guy, as it looks like this is what Thompson will be reduced to in the coming years as a result of his own frivolous lawsuits.

It's amazing what you can find on the internet...
go to http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-pamdce/case_no-3:2007cv01677/case_id-69169/
and open up the second exhibit - or specifically:
http://casedocs.justia.com/pennsylvania/pamdce/3:2007cv01677/69169/1/2.pdf
then go to page 18.
It shows the specifics of this loon's SS Number and how it spells Google (with the help of the Philadelphia 76ers)
wow.

Conflict of Interest?
I found this related article on the justia news website. I find it interesting that they suggest to their visitors that google be used to research the lawsuit in question, even though google is listed as a defendant.

For some reason I doubt that identity thiefs will run out and try to use this guys SS#
Have a feeling using that might bring you a whole lot of trouble. Is this guy an inmate or a patient?

(reply to this comment) (link to this comment)
Wow
So the guy's entered his driver's license, his social security records, his bank statement, etc. into the public record now. Let's see, which is a more likely cause of his overdrawn bank account:
1. The fact he hasn't earned any money for the last 3 or 4 years, or
2. The fact that if you fiddle with his SSN enough it looks kinda sorta like "google"?
I wonder.

I turned my cell number upside down and it is scrambled code for go sue somebody. Guess I will sue Verizon. Wait…… maybe that is a bad idea. They may send a Verizon FIOS tech to ‘accidentally’ start a fire……:)

wow
"Prevent Identity Theft - Protect Your Social Security Number". Did anyone read the big bold letters? How is that site able to post all of that personal info? Now those people, he *can* sue.
He talks about not getting his anxiety medication while in jail in one of the complaints so definitely an inmate or recently released. Anyway, just google the phone number he left on the complaint form and you'll see a real phonebook entry. (That's a 570 area code)
(reply to this comment) (link to this comment)
Perhaps the silliness has to do with the drugs he has been smoking instead of getting a life. What 25 year old has only made $2300 in 6 years prior to 2006. My 12 year old son made more than that at a small paper route in 2 years.

They blacked it out at the bottom, but not from within the document. Oops.

There really isn't anything funny about this. This person is clearly not well. I really wish this person well.
Also, to suggest that this only happens in America is silly, mental health problems are a human condition and don't have borders or politics.

i dunno
i don't know what to make of this myself.
I mean, the guy lays it all out on the table: he's been in jail for the last several years, during which he was also "hospitalized" in the psych ward, so he's obviously out there.
yet, he sure seems to know his shit when it comes to writing properly structured motions and submitting the proper supporting documentation.
hannibal lector anyone?
so, is he just taking the piss out of a system he knows and loathes, or his he serious? can't figure it out.
(reply to this comment) (link to this comment)
Not his first lawsuit
He has also filed a previous lawsuit against the county jail in June.
Perhaps it's fortunate that these filings aren't available through the website(courthouse didn't have a scanner at the time?).

WTF?
OK, what does terrorism, police brutality, and public drunkenness have to do with all this? Seriously.... WTF...
I think this kid should have patented his social security number first... that way we could have had a stupid patent as well... and he would have had a better case against Google.... sort of...
Jesh.... hell, my SSN multiplied by a certain number is the amount Google pays in taxes each year.... I'm sooo suing.

Problem Child
If you look through the exhibits, it's apparent that he's in prison. And, not getting his medications. I agree the suit is silly, but it's also plain he's not mentally competent. It's sad, actually.
(reply to this comment) (link to this comment)
Re: Problem Child
How is it apparent he's in prison? Would he have access to a photo copier and his drivers license, SS card, Library card, wachovia card, wachovia statement, etc.? What's sad is that you can't just laugh like the rest of us. Maybe he is mentally competent and was tired of the system... but guess what no one reading this thread on here knows, so stop diagnosing someone based on a handwritten lawsuit. Yeah it's crazy but what else would you be looking at while you are supposed to be working???

This is called a "warning sign"
One day, this weirdo is going to walk into a busy mall and start shooting, because he just can't deal with the pressure any more. And then the media will find these fine specimens and blame the Pennsylvania police for not acting responsibly to protect the public.

Re: Problem Child
I think he's mentally competent; could you write out a law suit without any forms?
But he is clearly a paranoid and delusional nut-case...
(reply to this comment) (link to this comment)
Interesting
Yes, he's clearly crazy. After all, apparently his current problem is that (he feels) he is falsely imprisoned and that a certain newsman has a video of the incident which he feels will vindicate him.
And now this document has made this information public in a manner there is no way someone like this would have ever been able to do otherwise, simply by suing someone famous for something dumb.
I don't know anything about the video, or the circumstances of the arrest, but it seems to me this is a very effective way of getting information out there publicly.
Crazy or not, maybe he knows the system better than you think...

Why just $5Bn?
Mr. Jayne obviously knows something the market doesn't about Google's enterprise value. Perhaps he has uncovered a portfolio of sub-prime motgages lurking on Google's books.
This is another obvious hedge fund ploy to get out of bad short situation.
(reply to this comment) (link to this comment)
hmmm
The guy must have read a lot of law books while in prison. I have to say it's certainly creative and after reading all of the paperwork, including exhibits; it definitely took a lot of effort on his part to file this case. I also believe the guy knows he won't win and submitted this in hand writing to prove a point on how silly our justice system can be. He mentioned "national security" and "terrorism", so they can't just throw it out in the "event" there was some merit to those accusations. Gotta love Homeland Security!! :P
Definitely the best laugh I've had in a really long time. LOL

It seems to me that the website http://www.600673.com/ resembles his (descrambled?) social security number even more than Google does...
