Corey Ehrman was using pseudonyms all the time in hundreds of media articles. And the former majority shareholder of the company was completely unknown to the world. And he had hidden his identity for so many years. And actually, Fabian, the former owner, is the one who told me his name for the first time. And we were able to expose him, burned Bergmayer.
And he was the majority shareholder, living part-time in Hong Kong and London and He was from Austria. But these men tried to hide themselves. So one of the things was, let's actually show the world who they are and hold them accountable.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, definitely. That has been part of the whole process. Yeah, I've experienced a lot. Death threats, rape threats, family, doxing, hacking, being falsely reported for possession of child pornography, which never happened. Of course.
Yeah, that's happened. And yeah, there's been kind of a lot of stress on my family through all of this as well. But it doesn't even compare to some of the stuff that the victims themselves have been attacked and had happened to them. And what they've had to go through in identifying themselves and speaking out has been so much worse.
Yeah, it was at the same time within days of each other in different parts of the world. There were separate victims who had come forward publicly. A lot of the victims were coming forward anonymously and being connected to attorneys. I mean, at the time I had victims coming forward anonymously.
As the petition was going viral and all the news stories and everything, almost on a daily basis, victims were coming forward. But some of them said, I'm going to put my name out there. I'm going to speak publicly about this. And it was three of them. And they were in different parts of the world. Within days of each other, each one of them was physically attacked. And they were just roughed up.
It was an intimidation thing. One of them sent pictures of notes that she was getting on her windshield after work that were talking about her sexual abuse and things like that. And it was frightening.
Yeah. And that's the thing is that you think that how could this happen? How could this be a coincidence? But at the same time, you can't prove that it wasn't a coincidence. So you feel like in the sense I felt like I was going crazy. What is happening here is how could this be real? But it was like this was actually happening.
Yeah. I, you know, reflecting back on that, there are some stories people say, like, why did you do this and how did you stick with it? And some of that I think back on my history. And sometimes I think certain personality traits are just genetic, like just in you. Yeah, I've had experiences over the years where a crooked plumber takes advantage of my husband.
So he's a builder and he takes all the money for a job he never does. Find out that he had actually done that to many other people looking on the Internet. They're complaining about the same guy texting him saying, hey, listen, you give that money back or you're going to regret it. He didn't listen.
And I ended up connecting with the victims throughout the county who all shared the same story, connected with the police, actually connected with an ex-girlfriend of his I found on social media.
And she told me a lot of interesting details and found out that he was going to try to take off to Hawaii with all this money that he'd taken from all these victims and actually found out the airline, the flight. And I told the police and he was arrested and he was sentenced. And now he's paid everybody back with interest.
Amazing. Yeah.
It started with somebody that I care deeply for. And then this was so wrong. I just had to go after it. And then a used car salesman has sold my sister a lemon of a junkyard engine and failing transmission. And She drove it off the lot. The check engine light goes on. She begs him to take it back. He won't. I go over there. Listen, this is wrong. You sold her a lemon. Give it back. He wouldn't.
I just stood out there protesting. I got a permit, stood outside of his little car dealership for days in the rain, protesting, telling every single person that they sold a lemon and he lost all his business. And anyway, he finally did it.
The news didn't cover it.
There was no news. It was just me with a sign saying, turn around. He sold us a lemon failing engine. And day after day, he came out gun threats, yelling his partner quit. I just said, I'm not leaving until you give it back. And I was serious. And then he finally did.
Hit him where it hurts, right? Like he was losing his revenue. Nobody would buy a car from him.
Well, good for you. I mean, you have the heart for justice. Yeah. Being an attorney also in your past and knowing that they're doing that to other people.
