China Acknowledges Torture and Illegal Detention in its Judicial System — Supreme People’s Procuratorate Establishes Investigation Office in Response
China’s top prosecutorial body has publicly acknowledged the existence of torture and illegal detention within the country’s judicial system. In response, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate has launched a new Investigation Department tasked with probing abuses of power by judicial and law enforcement officials. This development is particularly significant in the context of the McDonald’s case, as it directly echoes personal events I experienced in 2022 when I was subjected to what I consider torture by police officers in Taiyuan — a city where U.S. intelligence operatives were also known to be active. The creation of this investigative body raises important questions about past mishandlings, local accountability, and possible foreign interference in China’s internal legal processes.

Exposing McDonald’s “1 in 4” Mass-Marketing Frauds: A Statistical Analysis
In one of my analysis, I uncover the truth behind McDonald’s “1 in 4” odds in their Monopoly sweepstakes. Through a binomial distribution approach, I demonstrate the vast disparity between the claimed and actual probabilities of winning, with real odds ranging from 1 in 1,000 to a staggering 1 in 10 billion. This investigation highlights a systematic pattern of mass-marketing fraud within McDonald’s promotions. I call for immediate action from the U.S. Department of Justice to address these criminal practices that significantly skew market competition and defraud consumers worldwide.
-
Clarifying Probabilities to the FBI: Simple Probability vs. Binomial Distribution Probability
In my correspondence with the FBI, I elucidate the critical distinctions between simple probability and binomial distribution probability, highlighting the substantial implications these differences have in the context of this mass-marketing fraud case affecting many countries around the world. I argue that without explicit clarification, consumers, including minors, were inevitably defrauded by the criminal practices of the corporate predator that McDonald’s Corporation is. This fraudulent misrepresentation of chances of winning as simple probability, when they are in fact outcomes of a complex binomial probability, underscores my appeal for witness protection in the face of such powerful entities operating akin to a crime syndicate.

Navigating Bureaucratic Challenges in SEC Whistleblower Case
In my email to the FBI, I convey my frustrations over the bureaucratic process I’ve encountered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

I highlight my previous attempts to alert the FBI in 2015 and my recent efforts to reach out again after learning of the complaint against me. My request seeks all information the FBI may have about me and my case. This email underscores my persistent pursuit of clarity and my rights as a victim in an international legal context.

Please make sure the MARKET INTEGRITY AND MAJOR FRAUDS UNIT is notified

My correspondence includes links to a transcript and a YouTube video of a previous call with the FBI, where I discussed the potential for joint investigation under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

-
Unveiling Fraudulent Probability Claims in McDonald’s France 2011 Promotion
In my correspondence with Mr. Rogalski at the FBI, I underscore the importance of understanding McDonald’s fraudulent probability claims in France during 2011. I argue that their statement of “1 chance out of 4” to win instantly must logically refer to each individual game stamp as an attempt, not a set of stamps. By leveraging the axiom of extension from set theory, I demonstrate that the differing number of game stamps offered with various menu options necessitates this interpretation of attempts. My email is a crucial clarification for the investigation, highlighting McDonald’s lack of transparency and the need for the FBI to recognize the underlying deceit in their criminal practices.
-
60 Million Consumers: Addressing the Scale of McDonald’s Frauds
In my communication with the FBI, I discuss the immense scale of McDonald’s global consumer base, highlighting the potential for significant financial impact from even minor price manipulations. I contemplate the temptation for McDonald’s to cross legal boundaries for profit, especially given their daily interaction with 60 million consumers worldwide. The prospect of gaining just an additional quarter per customer translates to substantial annual revenue, underscoring the possible motivations behind their fraudulent activities, including the McDonald’s Monopoly sweepstakes. I hint at ongoing serious infractions by McDonald’s France that could greatly influence the market and competition. My focus remains on the Monopoly sweepstakes frauds, with an urgent call to consider a RICO indictment against McDonald’s. This email aims to shed light on the magnitude of potential corporate wrongdoing and the need for decisive legal action.
-
An Example of Fraud Committed by McDonald’s in China: Part 3
In part 3, I share an analogy to illustrate the mass-marketing fraud McDonald’s committed in China, hoping it clarifies the situation’s obviousness. Given that China ratified the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC, also known as the Palermo Convention) on September 23, 2003, I believe the country should be part of the international effort to take down the transnational criminal enterprise orchestrated by McDonald’s Corporation.

Correcting Probability Misconceptions in McDonald’s Promotion: An FBI Briefing
In my communication with the FBI, I dissect a Business Insider article to clarify the misconceptions surrounding McDonald’s Monopoly promotion probabilities. I emphasize the critical difference between the number of instant-win elements and total sets, a distinction that dramatically affects the perceived odds of winning. My analysis reveals that the actual chance of securing a prize is closer to 1 in 8, not the widely marketed 1 in 4. This significant disparity points to a mass-marketing fraud campaign by a major corporation, one that even children are expected to navigate. I urge for this nuanced understanding of odds calculation to be recognized and corrected, highlighting the intricate fraudulence at play and the need for meticulous scrutiny.
-
Clarifying Probability Concepts for the FBI Investigation : the difference between “the probability of a certain scenario happening,” Bernoulli trials, and Binomial distributions
In my recent email to the FBI, I stress the importance of understanding key probability concepts—specifically, the difference between “the probability of a certain scenario happening,” Bernoulli trials, and Binomial distributions. This distinction is vital in dissecting the fraudulent activities of McDonald’s in their Monopoly sweepstakes. I reference a flawed article by journalist Walter Hickey to illustrate common misconceptions, while also highlighting the accurate definition of probability as given by David Morin from Harvard University. My expectation is that FBI and Justice Department agents not only grasp the fundamental concept of probability, but also recognize the impact of the number of trials in a Binomial distribution on the outcome. This understanding is crucial for unraveling the complexities of the case at hand.
-
Explaining Set Theory’s Core Concepts to the FBI: Element vs. Set
In my email to the FBI, I aim to shed light on the set theory and its pertinence to the FBI’s investigation of McDonald’s Corporation’s criminal activities. I express urgency for the FBI and the Justice Department to grasp the nuanced distinction between an element and a set, a foundational concept that underpins the sophisticated mechanics of the crimes in question. Amidst my call for clarity and action, I also convey my anticipation for a response regarding the lead investigator of the racketeering case, hinting at the necessity to involve oversight agencies should the silence persist. My message underscores the critical need for understanding mathematical principles in unraveling the intricacies of the serious crimes committed by the transnational crimal entity McDonald’s Corporation.
-
Is McDonald’s Too Big To Fail? Questioning the Impunity of a Corporate Giant
In my correspondence with the FBI, I confront a pressing question: “Is McDonald’s Corporation too big to fail?” I question the U.S. government’s resolve in tackling the crimes committed by one of the world’s largest corporations. My email seeks to understand the progress of the investigation and Mr. Rogalski’s involvement. I offer to clarify any complexities he might face and urge for a response. This message is a direct appeal for action and transparency, aiming to shed light on the potential impunity of a corporate giant and the need for accountability in the face of significant global implications.
-
Asserting My Innocence Amidst Legal Challenges
In my communication with my lawyer, Edward Lehman, I address the daunting situation of being sued by Nicole Belloubet, the former French Minister of Justice.

The email reflects my frustration with the French administration, which I openly criticize. This message is a candid expression of my feelings towards the legal challenges I am facing, and a reaffirmation of my efforts to seek help and warn about potential injustices. My intention is to convey the seriousness of my situation while standing firm in my belief of innocence.
-
Highlighting Money Laundering and Fraud in Major RICO Case
In my email to Mr. Adam Rogalski, I address significant concerns about money laundering and fraud within McDonald’s Corporation, particularly emphasizing the roles of Malcolm Hicks and Steve Easterbrook. I point out the clear violation of the European Directive 2005/29/CE by McDonald’s, focusing on the deceptive practices in their promotions across different countries. This message to the FBI calls for an urgent and thorough investigation into these serious allegations, underscoring the necessity of immediate action and accountability for what I describe as clear instances of organized crime within a major RICO framework. My correspondence is a demand for justice and a comprehensive response from legal and governmental authorities in the face of these substantial allegations.
-
Navigating the Complexities of McDonald’s Fraudulent Instant-Win Claims
In my correspondence with the FBI, I delve into the intricate details of McDonald’s Corporation’s fraudulent claims in their Monopoly sweepstakes. I express my concerns regarding the fraudulent nature of the game’s probability calculations, particularly the assertion of having “1 chance out of 4” to win. I argue that, in reality, the odds were closer to “1 chance out of 8,” a figure never stated by the corporation. My goal is to demonstrate the fraud in their probability claims and to clarify the real chances of winning based on a single game stamp. I urge Mr. Rogalski (State Department/FBI) to ensure the FBI is aware of these issues, as they have ramifications in numerous countries. I urge the FBI to alert INTERPOL. This email is an attempt to unravel the complexities of the situation, seeking clarity and accountability in one of the largest fraud cases in history.
-
Unmasking McDonald’s: The Lance Armstrong of Fast Food
In an email I sent to the FBI, I draw a stark comparison between McDonald’s Corporation and disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong. This page reveals my insights on how small, criminally obtained advantages, when systematically exploited, can lead to substantial and unfair dominance in the business world. My analogy strikingly positions McDonald’s marketing tactics alongside Armstrong’s infamous career, offering a unique perspective on the deceptive and illegal strategies that underlie the success of this global fast-food leader.
-
Crucial Evidence: Gloria Santona’s Contact in 2016 Revealed
In my email to Mr. Rogalski, I provide critical evidence of Gloria Santona’s contact with me in 2016. The attached screenshots reveal her following me on Twitter, opening a direct communication channel through DM. This interaction suggests McDonald’s awareness of the frauds. I urge the FBI to acknowledge receipt and identify the lead agent for the criminal investigation into the racketeering enterprise. The silence from law enforcement is disconcerting, and I seek clarity on these serious allegations.
-
In the United States, did the McDonald’s Monopoly Sweepstakes constitute an illegal lottery?
In my correspondence with Mr. Adam Rogalski, Assistant Legal Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, I delve into my longstanding belief that the U.S. version of the McDonald’s Monopoly sweepstakes constitutes an illegal lottery. Citing a detailed explanation on a website, I argue that the promotion’s claim of “NO PURCHASE NECESSARY” is misleading, as statistical analysis suggests that participating without a purchase might be more costly than the prizes offered. Additionally, I challenge the assertion that “PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE CHANCES OF WINNING.” I propose that, theoretically, a wealthy enough individual could secure all prizes by purchasing all game stamps, thereby guaranteeing victory, which contradicts McDonald’s claim. These inconsistencies, I believe, point towards fraudulent practices. I also suggest the FBI question former McDonald’s executive Gloria Santona, as her departure timing might be significant. My aim is to highlight the potential deception in this widely known sweepstakes and the need for thorough investigation.
-
Urging the FBI to Investigate McDonald’s for Fraudulent Practices
In my email to the FBI, I highlight the need for a thorough investigation into McDonald’s Corporation for their fraudulent practices. I discuss the deceptive nature of their promotional strategy, specifically pointing out how their “1 chance out of 4” per attempt claim in their instant-win game misled me. This, I argue, is a clear case of mass marketing fraud driven by greed, designed to artificially boost sales. I question why McDonald’s chose not to state a straightforward “1 chance out of 8.” I emphasize the importance of upholding the law consistently, especially when it comes to large corporations, and express my concerns about the broader implications of such fraudulent practices on the integrity of financial systems. My correspondence serves as a call to action for the FBI to investigate these practices, which I believe are part of a larger pattern of criminal activity by McDonald’s Corporation and its accomplices.
-
Exposing RICO Violations by McDonald’s to the FBI
In my email to the FBI, I detail the racketeering activity within McDonald’s Corporation, specifically in the context of the United States. I reference the explanation I provided to New York Times journalist Constant Méheut about the instant-win fraud in France for 2011, asserting its relevance to the U.S. operations of McDonald’s in 2013. I emphasize the significance of McDonald’s fraudulent claim of “one-in-four odds of winning” for their 2013 U.S. promotion, critically analyzing the calculation basis they provided and highlighting the deviation from their stated odds. This correspondence serves as a stark reminder of the serious implications of these allegations, particularly when they involve targeting children, and questions the integrity of McDonald’s practices. I express concern over the security of my personal information and communications, seeking the FBI’s attention and action in a case that I argue has deep legal and ethical ramifications.
-

"I wish I could understand": 30 September 2022 email to my lawyer disclosing my wife's early suspicion that our American Christian missionary friends might be U.S. intelligence
On 30 September 2022, I sent my lawyer Mr. Lehman a long, personal email in which I disclosed, relatively early in our working relationship, that when my wife first met our American Christian missionary friends she had told me she wondered whether they could be U.S. intelligence. The email also walked Mr. Lehman through several connected events: the August 2019 dinner conversation; the November 2019 firing of Steve Easterbrook; the January 2020 email I had sent to a member of the French parliament about doctoring of legal documents in the McDonald's case; the police summons that arrived by email approximately thirty minutes later; my reading of that timing under ECtHR Article 34 jurisprudence; and my brother's questioning by French police in November 2019, which I only learned about in September 2021.

Answer from French anticorruption association Anticor related to the McDonald’s case.
Answer from French anticorruption association Anticor. I would forward their reply to Cédric Villani, a member of the French Parliament. The internal investigation targeting Steve Easterbrook would start about 1 week after this email I received from Anticor. Coincidence? Maybe. But it’s a fact that there is parallel truth which was happening at the same time. I personally don’t think it’s a coincidence.

Witness Tampering: Threats Received from French Elected Official Cédric Villani
On September 25, 2019, Philippe Mouricou, the director of communication of French elected official Cédric Villani contacted me and he would quickly start issuing threats against me thus committing the crime of witness tampering. He accused at some point of using the same methods as McDonald’s which seem to imply that McDonald’s might have pressured a French elected official. If McDonald’s pressured a French elected official, it might fall under the FCPA.

My Urgent Appeal to Cédric Villani: Exposing McDonald’s Sweepstakes Frauds
My heartfelt plea to Cédric Villani, a Member of the French Parliament, seeking his assistance in exposing one of the largest frauds in history involving McDonald’s Corporation. In my letter, I describe myself as both a victim and a whistleblower, passionately arguing against McDonald’s criminal practices in their Monopoly sweepstakes, where the company falsely claimed a “1 in 4 chance of winning instantly”—a deceptive assertion, as the actual odds were 1 in 8. I urgently request Villani’s mathematical expertise to affirm the rigged probabilities and urge immediate action to compel McDonald’s to compensate millions of consumers defrauded by their games, highlighting the necessity of upholding the rule of law against such corporate deceit.

Email from Law Professor Yves Strickler - procedural contracts invented by the bar associations, jurisdictions, and legal aid offices
Email from Professor Yves Strickler, Associate Professor of Law Faculties, confirming to me that procedural contracts are invented by the bar associations, the jurisdictions, and the legal aid offices, and that this is something truly preposterous! That the law is the law, and French institutions are obligated to respect it. In essence, this situation amounts to the judicial branch circumventing the legislative branch to create its own laws, a practice that is profoundly dangerous. It undermines the principle of the separation of powers, a cornerstone of democratic governance.
