#NEW: Per court documents, Amazon filed an appeal after a judge dismissed its lawsuit against a former Amazon worker, accusing him of breaking his contract & stealing millions. At 5, @Amy_K_Nelson shares how they were forced to move from Seattle to prove her husband's innocence.

Today, @rosie shared my family’s story of battling @amazon & @ajassy, who’ve spent $50M trying to secure federal criminal charges against my husband.

What they’ve done will shock you. I appreciate Rosie being brave enough to talk with me.

I am certain that @amazon, @ajassy, @davidzapolsky, @KMSheepeople & @yousriomar will continue to lobby @DOJCrimDiv to charge my husband with a crime, as they have since February 2020 over 100+ meetings.

I'll show you 4 massive lies Amazon lawyers & @gibsondunn told federal prosecutors. Maybe someone will care. Probably not. A 🧵/1

THE COURT IN VIRGINIA JUST GRANTED MY. HUSBAND SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON RACKETEERING AND FRAUD. Against Amazon & Gibson Dunn.

They had DOJ take my family's money. They had the FBI raid my home with guns. We lost everything. And we fought with our hands tied behind our backs.

The truth prevailed.

Went to a Women in VC meetup in Seattle last night, and so many people turned up that we ran out of name tags! That alone is noteworthy 🤩 ...but also, underscores just how many firms are establishing "outposts" here now. All eyes on Seattle!

[Brian Hall @IsForAt]

Unfortunately, I don't think Amazon understands what it means to sue an individual and then only "talk" through legal goons (who have incentive to keep the rude shenanigans running). @Amy_K_Nelson is putting the appropriate light on it, and I'm so sorry she needs to do it.

I had a video on TikTok today heading to a million views about @amazon and it was 2x reported as a violation and removed. I believe Amazon is behind this. Thousands of commenters said they were quitting prime bc of their attack on my family. Anyone know anyone at TikTok?
