Chad Hurley’s Perjury
The supplemental sworn declaration provided by Chad Hurley after Attorney Monts haggled with Google's legal team over court costs. The case was heading toward Google's standard "Rule 11" filing which had been promised by David Kramer, the lead counsel for Google. My attorney called it a "lawyer's trick" - essentially it made further discovery impossible until the Rule 11 motion was dealt with. They've used this in several cases. See other posts about the case and our strategy, as well as the Google defense strategy and the special privileges the judge allowed Google.
This document was required by Google's attorney at Chad's request (most likely) to have the case dismissed without prejudice (dismissed such that both parties paid their respective costs). In other words, to get the case dismissed without costing us for the Google legal team, we had to permit Chad to lie. So, here is the document and the reasoning behind it being a contrivance:
Note the highlighted text above where Chad states he had no connection to the company after 2002. We all know the famous Foundation Myth about how "three former PayPal employees" started the company, but Steve Chen in the interrogatories as part of our case stated that he was still at PayPal in 2005. If Steve worked at PayPal in 2005, how did Chad start a company with him without interacting with at least 1 employee of PayPal?
Here is an excerpt from a Fortune article entitled "The PayPal Mafia" published in 2007:
"And then things got interesting. The eBay deal, remarkable only because it happened in the bleakness of 2002, wasn't so much an exit as an explosion. Most of PayPal's key employees left eBay, but they stayed in touch. They even have a name for themselves: the PayPal mafia. And the mafiosi have been busy."
Chad and Steve went to Sequoia Capital and Roelof Botha is reported as advisor and integral in securing $3.5M in funding for YouTube when it was still in its infancy. Since Botha was a founder of PayPal, and Steve was an employee, how could it be true that Chad Hurley had absolutely no connection to PayPal whatsoever after 2002?
Anticipating this, our discovery team (read as: me, myself and I) contacted PayPal to "dig" around and see what could be found out about transferring calls. Why? Because a PayPal manager transferred me to a switchboard operator in November 2004 (or possibly, January 2005, we'll never know without discovery of evidence [subpoenas] which will never happen), who in turn transferred me to Chad Hurley's personal telephone contact number. This is when I told him about the YouTube domain name. Later, in 2005, I received a call back from Steve Chen (via either Hurley's, Chen's [most likely] or Jawed's cellphone). How did he get my number? Chad must have written it down when we talked the first time.
Someone flagged the Carson video above <g> .. it was a famous Carson bomb where he grabs the boom mic and says "Attention K-mart shoppers ..."
Here's another one -> Mel Blanc on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, most likely from the 1980s:

If Chad appeared at the place(s) you indicated, then others would have been present as well, and affidavits & testimony from them should be a viable means to overturn the statement and invoke great suspicion about Chad’s statements. I haven’t read anything about Rule 11 yet. Perhaps you should speak with headhunter attorneys, who will do the work to represent you for a cut of the settlement. You’ll get something, and vindication.

This case is that. This was my 1 attempt. I had already gone beyond the statute of limitations on trademark challenging. This was my 1 shot deal, it’s done, I’ll never get anything for it and no attorney can help me now. All I can hope to do is find more evidence (fMRI, someone from the YT3 admits it) to further prove that I’m not “delusional” or lying, but it will never be decided in a court.
