Complaint narrative:
You can definitely publish this information as I've had to take it public several times. You can keep my name out of it or use an alias- American Express, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  operate like a gang. This will be a long description, if you need clarification on terms or the hacking please don't hesitate to reach out. This is definitely related to veterans and the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

To be completely honest this has been the most taxing sequence of events I've been through in my life and I'm tired of having to investigate myself. I'm barely surviving on canned food and having to outwit companies in public spaces using sockpuppet accounts to harass and bait information. I've had break-ins, been spied on physically and digitally, had intellectual property stolen ( they didn't do a good job, they left behind an old version of my password manager and I recovered most of it ), been held at XXXX twice, and both of those people tried to convince me my fiance is a XXXX and it was all fake to ruin my life. The sockpuppet accounts are doing the same. 

All of these life ruining tactics occured within weeks of my child being born - and that was intentional. I missed my son 's birth keeping this away from those I love and I've hardly seen XXXX scared for the future. There is so much crime occuring between these financial institutions and their subsidiaries I don't know where to begin. I'm trying to find evidence on their real estate connections because similar things happened to my father after his XXXX  year tenure at Amex. He lost his home shortly after. 

This begins in XXXX actually much earlier but this is strictly finance related and not insurance. In XXXX I worked for XXXX XXXX  briefly. I say briefly because I was being spied on through my webcam ( team would talk about things I was doing in my apartment ) and had an internal investigation started in the company. Shortly after I was forced out. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX people in vans to the complex - the same happened this time. Not only was I spied on, but my steganography and cryptography projects were stolen and published in places I'd frequent on the internet in off hours. 

Fast forward to XXXX of this year, I was hired by Amex as a contractor. Our team was working with XXXX XXXX to implement XXXX. I immediately felt things were off even by the recruiting firm ( XXXX XXXX - contacts are XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ). It took XXXX months to staff me and nearly none of what was discussed from the firm occured. Upon reporting what occured, XXXX did nothing and sent me a message saying they are giving a heads up the XXXX employees instead of helping me out or trying to understand. My recruiter left the country up on hire. When I was let go during a week off ( handling relationship struggles and a very sick pregnant fiance ), the same occured. My home network was then hacked ( and I mean everything, phones, computers, routers, you name it ). 

My boss at the time, XXXX XXXX, harassed me from the very beginning. Our intern at the time, XXXX XXXX commented on the gaslighting several times. There was a lot of heaping more and more work on me. XXXX was newly made an XXXX XXXX at American Express and told me his superiors thought he was too young. Upon hiring he had several slips of the tongue about Amex trying to hide things. He was flown out to New York and given XXXX to " make a problem go away '' from what I understand. He bought a new XXXX that week. Before all of the horrible events occured, XXXX stated he was calling his friend at the XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX American Express kept XXXX XXXX " XXXX ''. Which is a significant name at a security conference called XXXX XXXX. I believe he runs a cryptocurrency but haven't been able to 100 % confirm this. Our team frequently stated he'd do anything for money. XXXX lives at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

He also told me Amex had lost XXXX XXXX dollars and I fear I was being set up as the fall guy on top of the dangers and theft. I caught XXXX XXXX going through my work bag returning from a smoke break and kept my head down for the remainder of my time there to use the information when necessary. Before I knew I had been hacked, XXXX XXXX pulled me into a meeting room with our XXXX XXXX who's name I can't remember and had a smashed XXXX XXXX on the table maniacally laughing. I later found out they XXXX swapped an old number ( XXXX ) XXXX to get into my XXXX account and crawl into other accounts from it. 

Another team member, XXXX XXXX stated " Amex said they would protect me '' - he had just moved to another state and after the crime I've seen there, I truly wonder what he did. He and the rest of the team turned malicious simultaneously while XXXX 's actions were constant. I had a pregnant fiance/child to protect so I stayed. 

Some time during my employment, XXXX XXXX threatened me at his home ( covered in drugs and stolen computer equipment ). I knew him from a recovery center I was at 10 years ago. He said he waited 10 years to make me think we were cool ( I hardly recognized him, I can't describe the difference beyond the evil look in his eyes ). He claimed he was a spook and I was now his property. He sent several messages of assault rifles and insinuated he was killing people and spreading a XXXX variant. This was when I first reached out to the FBI. His address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. He is into fraud, drugs, and definitely hacked me. I believe his family kills people and takes their homes for his father 's real estate business. He invited me to a gated community with a multi-million dollar home he was at playing with assault rifle cartridges before essentially telling me I need to build a botnet. I have a bunch of stolen equipment/information he gave me that I'd like out of my home. 

During the week of struggles with my fiance ( I was granted a week to handle the situation ), I was lured to a compound by XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX employee XXXX XXXX. He was an old friend from childhood so I was excited to see what he was up to. He left before I arrived, we were supposed to code to get my mind off things. This is where I was first threatened at gunpoint by a man named XXXX XXXX who made threats while sniffing XXXX for XXXX hours until I was able to convince him I needed equipment and got away. XXXX initially didn't answer when I arrived and XXXX wanted me to collect license plates in the area. I felt I was beginning to be in more danger and left, XXXX eventually called and XXXX said he is concerned about him so I turned around. His home was covered in spray painted occult symbols. His image in our chat later turned to his face covered in blood and he had sent extremist propaganda. 

Truth be told, I've had to threaten both XXXX and XXXX to stay away from me since no one helped. XXXX was apparently attacked by a cartel member and has a limp now. It's been months of forced work until I finally got them away and I fear the actions I've had to take for protection may have ruined the company I've been attempting to start 's reputation as well as my own career. 

I've been harassed on XXXX, XXXX, had my window broken, been stalked by XXXX XXXX ( the same access points as the first stalking are viewable ), had data stolen, hard drives swapped, my car broken into- it doesn't stop. 

There is something deeply troubling about what is going on at Amex, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX and the XXXX 

I fear my fiance and her family are involved. My fiance 's father is a veteran and has made some messed up comments like " I love XXXX ''. Her sister said our child looks like " XXXX '' - the fathers name is XXXX XXXX ( nickname is XXXX XXXX ) and in that week off I found XXXX books on her tablet and texts with her coworker that appeared to be her cheating. Her family was cleaning the house in what appeared to be a paranoid mode the first time I saw her after all of this. She also had Amex cards in her phone prior to this and made a comment about my badge being her job. She's destroyed or lost her phone every time I begin to suspect what is going on. 

She was working for a subsidiary or XXXX XXXX ( suicide hotline for veterans ) called XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX. Our relationship was greatly struggling and I felt she was never there unless it was me buying things or trying to get me to spend my money. Upon investigating her coworkers, there is XXXX XXXX who used to work at XXXX but now works for XXXX. He has posts about being in a " XXXX  '' with XXXX XXXX ( her name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and many other posts that have timelines aligning to the struggles of our relationship- including the conception of our son. All of his followers on XXXX should be investigated, but likely won't because again - XXXX and protected crime. I was approached by a friend of XXXX 's who I worked with 10 years ago. His name is XXXX XXXX and is an ex-marine. When I discovered their connection he completely disappeared. When I worked with him he talked about being a mercenary frequently. 

I wasn't invited to our son 's birth and she wasn't around for my struggles ( the usual occurrence, she would run to hang out with her dad and come back in clothes I'd never seen ) despite being around for hers constantly. XXXX appears to be an exact clone of her interests and talks about her going back to New York in his posts ( Amex headquarters ). 

I don't know what I did to deserve any of this but I'm fairly certain Amex, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  have a long history of extorting people. Another recruiter sent me messages about being " golden handcuffed '' and called himself a XXXX instead of a recruiter. They claim ownership over humans, my father worked there for 25 years and he saw similar things to what I did. If you aren't drinking with executives and participating in the activities you get treated like a slave. 

Please end this madness. I'm sick of having to defend myself from danger and barely surviving while exposing the XXXX back offices of these companies. I will not stop. My fiance and her family are incredibly good liars and cover for each other. Her journal has comments about " XXXX used psychology to puppet the population '' or something to that effect to give you a picture of the type of manipulation I'm dealing with.
