According to Volokh’s article, “…one danger with this practice, as we’ve seen, is that it leads to an incentive for unscrupulous people — whether plaintiffs, their lawyers or reputation-management companies hired by the plaintiffs (and potentially working out the details without the plaintiffs or the lawyers’ knowledge) — to file lawsuits against fake defendants.”
Volokh, a UCLA Law Professor, in his research, found multiple lawsuits that were filed by Daniel Warner and Aaron Kelly that appear to have fake, non-existent defendants & have fake notarizations. Let’s take a look at these suits:
Lawsuit 1 – Chinnock v. Ivanski
Joseph Chinnock, AKA Joel Cassaway, hired Attorney Warner to deindex (remove) 39 website listings from Google that cast him as a scam artist that harmed multiple people over a span of several years.
Attorney Warner then filed a lawsuit against a person located in Turkey named “Krista Ivanski.” The lawsuit claimed that Krista Ivanski was responsible for publishing all 39 of the different “defamatory website listings” across websites like RipOffReport, Scam Exposure, USA Complaints, and more.
