To Daniel Duplantis

Daniel Duplantis thought he could operate under the delusion that he could weaponize phone calls and emails to launch a malicious smear campaign against my 40-years as an instructor and coach in the martial arts, hide behind the coattails of an unverified "grandmaster," and simply walk away.

Let me address Duplantis directly, with zero filter and absolute finality: 

If you were standing face-to-face with me right now, I would beat your mother fucking ass for what you did. You did not know me or have ever had any communication with me. ABSOLUTELY NONE! Yet you chose to attack me and try to destroy my reputation and livelihood. 

I am taking you to civil court and suing you for the absolute maximum. There is no ducking it, no running, and no escaping. 

This is the last public comment I will make on this matter and I want there to be no misunderstanding....

You, Duplantis, executed the attack! You chose to participate in purposefully malicious, slanderous, and defamatory attacks with full intent. You picked up the phone, you drafted the emails, and you chose to disseminate unverified lies to cause maximum professional and personal damage. 

If your defense is to claim you didn't know what you had when you passed it along. In court, claiming you didn't verify your facts isn't a defense… it is a direct admission of a reckless disregard for the truth. Nothing about my back ground was a lie...cant say the same for your instructor. So, if your defense is going be that your attempted attack did me no damage or harm to me, because my reputation withstood your garbage…. that is a fallacy. It doesn't protect you legally from being sued. 

Under the law, a failed attempt to destroy a man’s name does not erase the malice of the execution. The intent was established the moment you made those phone calls and sent those emails, and you will be held fully liable for every single shred of that malice.

You acted as an execution proxy to feed lies to the NKJF and its leaders and members, i.e. the fucking public! You even used your status in the military to do it. Well, that status is gone. The USAF-IG complaint with the evidence I submitted was already carried against you earlier this year, meaning the military has already substantiated the foundational misconduct of your actions. 

Let me assure you, I am not done! 

It was explained to me directly what you did do and that the remaining things regarding the defamation was a civil matter and I should seek out an attorney. I did.  

Now, the civilian courts are going to handle the financial and legal restitution.

If youre going to try some bluff and buster and state like you did in an email to Ed Mathna "that JAG attorneys are waiting".....JAG Does Not Defend Service Members in Civilian Civil Lawsuits! Under military regulations and federal law, JAG attorneys are strictly prohibited from representing or defending service members in civilian civil litigation. You can BS others with those statements but not me! You never once knew who you were fucking with. Knew zero about me. You are going to find out though. 

Make no mistake about my intentions. I do not care that your life, career, security clearance, and livelihood may be in shambles already. Every single effort was made by you to ruin mine, and I will show the exact same consideration in return.
