(America First Report)—For four years, Amy Nelson and her family have endured one of the most disgusting abuses of power and privilege we’ve seen waged against an American family. It involves mega-retailer Amazon, their team of fifty attorneys, and the Department of Justice.
In short, the Nelson family have been targeted for complete financial destruction. Seizures have been made. Threats continue incessantly. All the while, no charges have been filed and all of the evidence points to the Nelsons being innocent.
It’s important to note that we’re only seeing one side of this story. Amazon has not responded to requests for comment. However, a local news story corroborates much of what Nelson explains in her Twitter thread.
Here is the blood-boiling scenario as told by Nelson herself:
(These docs are all on the public docket in Amazon's civil case against my husband, where a federal judge ruled in April that my husband – even if he did exactly what Amazon said he did – acted in accordance with the "explicit terms" of AMAZON's contract.) /2
— Amy Nelson (@Amy_K_Nelson) January 5, 2024
And then, 2 days later – Amazon's lawyer had the AUDACITY to email DOJ & say, hey, need you on the phone again! I want to tell you Amazon's position on the "timing" of the investigation & seizure we ordered up.
This is a real email, from a private attorney.

Amazon alleged a crime of private sector honest services fraud – meaning, Amazon had to prove that my. husband violated his duty to them as an employee.
SO AMAZON LIED ABOUT THE DUTY. They said my husband wasn't authorized to do biz w/ entities doing biz w/ Amazon /6 pic.twitter.com/8UK8Ps2Eop

So, yeah.
Amazon got DOJ to seize $7 million over an alleged breach of employment duties – that were false, not real, and actually contrary to the exact duties Amazon had in their own contract.
DOJ also obtained and executed search warrants with these false duties listed. /8

So if DOJ didn't rely in "any way" on the employment contract as the alleged source of "fiduciary duty" my husband allegedly criminally violated … what did they look at?
Can Amazon allow something in a contract and then try to put an American in prison for it? /10

Amazon's entire mission to "get" my husband was one of seek and destroy at any cost.
Me, my husband & our 4 girls endured civil forfeiture for 2 years, a terrifying FBI raid, and months of threats from prosecutors to arrest my husband in our home in front of our girls. /12
— Amy Nelson (@Amy_K_Nelson) January 5, 2024
Last year, Amazon's lawyer sent me a letter telling me if I didn't stop my "unlawful" social media posts sharing the names of lawyers hunting my family for Amazon that he would go to the court. He also called me a conspiracy theorist.
I didn't stop. Nor will I. /14

The media is terrified of this story. I get it. Everyone in the world is terrified of @JeffBezos. But we have the receipts because these lawyers were so damn sure we'd collapse and die so no one would ever see the paper trail.
And the paper trail is sloppy and horrifying. /16

Patrick Stokes, Elizabeth Papez, Jason Mendro, Claudia Barrett, Michael Dziuban, Amanda Sterling, Veronica Moye, George Hazel, Lora MacDonald, Travis Andrews, Rachel Robertson, Thomas Hungar, Jason Schwartz, David Casazza, Trisha Parikh, Luke Sullivan, Cate Harding, /18

Internal Amazon lawyers: David Zapolsky, Dennis Wallace, Yousri Omar, D. Matthew Doden, Alexis Collins, Brad Elias, Sarah Tyerman, Marnina Cherkin. Those are the names I know currently, as identified by Amazon. /20
— Amy Nelson (@Amy_K_Nelson) January 5, 2024
And there is more: Like, why did DOJ prosecutors threaten to charge my husband with obstruction of justice or witness tampering if he refused to stop defending himself in Amazon's civil case?
I mean, weird? /22https://t.co/VxRmaBwaMW
— Amy Nelson (@Amy_K_Nelson) January 5, 2024
Please share our story with ANYONE you know who might help.
We've spent over $3 million legal fees. We've lost our home, car, retirement, & more.
No one deserves this. Someone could do the right thing today. Including @ajassy, @DavidZapolsky or @JeffBezos /24
— Amy Nelson (@Amy_K_Nelson) January 5, 2024
And, finally. Why do I name the lawyers?
People do things to people. We need to remember that. Companies can't make decisions – people do. Law firms can't scorch the earth of their targets – only people can.
We are all responsible for our decisions and actions. Always. /26

I will be interviewing Nelson soon and will post it when it’s live.
