Zombie Squad, Inc is a criminal enterprise!
by trixter on Apr.10, 2010, under Zombies
I recently discovered that Zombie Squad, Inc is a criminal enterprise. They commit the same types of felonies that Al Capone & John Gotti did. I also discovered their coveted trademarks have a defect in the applications that make them invalid. I cannot challenge them unless and until they first try to enforce the trademarks. For those that want to scream this is slander, get a dictionary slander is spoken. For those that want to go to the fallback libel, I can prove everything I have said here, it is not libel if it is true. I can prove that they solicit funds under fradulent pretenses, that they are wholely illegal in their operation, and that they are breaking state and federal laws on a regular basis. The question that now remains, will they file a lawsuit and force me to prove this, or will they just acknowledge their actions and eek off into the shadows and “ignore” this. I have informed Kyle Ladd, one of the “board members”, about my intent to do this, he acknowledged with invalid URLs to the trademarks (I already knew their numbers, how else would I know they were defective?)

Do a search for “Zombie Squad”
Yeah, the links I sent you expired because the US Trademark website uses a session that expired.
The Session on the website expired – not the registered trademark.

I never said that you didnt file for a trademark, I said that it is defective. You only sent me the links originally because I told you that they were defective and that I was going to be using the trademark. The logic that I think they are defective because you provided bad URLs makes little sense to me, given that you only provided those URLs to “prove” they were not defective.
Defective means that it is not legally valid, as such you can only file a lawsuit by committing more crimes. I do not have to prove to you that it is defective unless and until you sue, at which point I will be afforded the opportunity to challenge the trademarks and get them revoked making them free for others to use. Of course if you do not file a lawsuit then they are free to use anyway so mission accomplished.

Kyle, forgot to congratulate you on your home purchase on September 9, 2009. You should look at making the roof white though, the black roof that you have just attracts the heat in the summer and causes you to run the AC more. At least you have that large shade tree in the back yard, too bad that is the north side of the house and the sun shines on the south side. And over $1700/year property tax, wow. Yeah the house was worth $245k at one point, but it sold at a bank auction for $115k and I do not think that the market rebounded when you bought it. That just seems like its high, you may want to get the tax office to adjust that for you.
All in all its 8 blocks closer to Cyr’s house from your last place, so that makes it easier. And with a median income in the area of just under $27k I am guessing that the area isnt that bad. Granted $27k would not be suitable in California or Manhattan, that area is not as expensive. At least both William and Jennifer only have to drive a short distance up S. Kings Highway and they are right there. That is really convenient.

I do believe that my callsign was already on this site. If I am so confident that the trademarks are defective and I have such information, maybe there is something to my assertions. Maybe that is how I discovered that you personally and the ZS crew are committing the same types of felonies that John Gotti and Al Capone committed. Maybe, just maybe I stumbled across the proof.

I guess you are showing your worth or something. I am actually baffled why all these one liners are here, they are incoherent and do not seem to have anything to do with anything.
I see that the forum post you have titled ‘ZS mentioned on Trixter’s website’ in the ‘zs in the media’ section discusses this. So it is fully known and available for all.
A point of correction, this is not because I am upset over being banned, obviously I can still read the content and my content is still there. I do see that you are slow to correct people with the fact that it is not because your web session expired that the trademark is defective.
Tater Raider has offered to not only buy a membership but also to chip in for legal fees if you sue for libel. You have the support of your community (many are part of the criminal enterprise, although they may be unaware of it), you have promises of financial backing. The only thing preventing it is the fact that its true.

Shortly after my comment that I can read the posts about me on the zombie squad website the thread went down. Utilizing google cache I have captured that into a pdf. For those that missed this conversation you can see the following:
1. Kyle, listed as Zombie Squad, Inc president, is not offended by my assertion that I have proof they are committing the same types of crimes Al Capone and John Gotti committed, evidenced by his personal profile picture being Al Capone.
2. Whisk.e.rebellion accurately pointed out there is no way I can be dumb enough to confuse a web session timeout with a trademark being defective. What he failed to notice was that I commented on the trademark being defective *before* the email that had the expired sessions, in fact that email was the rebuttal to my assertion that I knew they were defective.
3. The clique they live in does not appear to believe the assertions that I have proof of the ongoing criminal activity, in fact one person even volunteered to become a paying member of this criminal organization and donate extra money to sue me for libel, not because what I said was wrong but because I did not post proof here. Legally I do not have to post proof here so that is an odd argument, but the “hey lets sue” dangerously treads down a RICO violation under the Hobbes Act. It is not there yet, but its really close.
I do not know why the post was removed, probably because they are circling the wagons in preparation for some legal assault on me. I do caution them that I will be forced to reveal my proof in court, and that those public records can be used against them in other proceedings. If ZS feels totally safe and secure that they are not breaking any laws they should have nothing to worry about. It is my guess they will not file a lawsuit merely because they dont want their criminal activities becoming public.

this is epic !!!!!
April 13th, 2010 on 9:01 am
Oh! He figured us out! Don’t worry Kyle, the rum runners are holed up and we’re trying to find a new route for them. Same with the Canadian wiskey.
See below the true reach of our evil? We’re still listed as one of this guys’ “friends”! Mwuahaha…
… ZS, not just a criminal enterprise, but a team of Super Villians. Trixter, you know we get a cut of your blog’s traffic revenue we’re bringing in right?
April 13th, 2010 on 9:14 am
I was unaware that John Gotti was known for rum running and Canadian whiskey. Maybe that isnt what I have proof of, but it sure makes for trying to distract instead of dealing with the real criminal actions.
Thank you for pointing out that the blogroll links to you, I will remove that.
There is a reason ZS refuses to even protect their “property” on this page, namely their trademark. They know that my assertions are true so ignoring it is the best course of action for them even though that means they dont protect their trademark and thus can lose it. Any challenge means that I get the opportunity to present evidence to have it removed.
April 14th, 2010 on 11:57 am
Can’t we all just get along? This seems to be the ultimate mountain made out of a molehill.
Ideally, Trixter could get unbanned and could keep contributing, and he’d drop all the legal infractions, or better yet, become an asset to ZS and help plug the holes and fix the problems…
April 14th, 2010 on 12:27 pm
Given the history, I do not think that those in charge will be willing to get along.
Only some people should know of the direct criminal activity, namely the board members. Each of them actually has a duty to know making it harder to claim they did not. The chapter officers are likely also breaking the law, I only know that to be true in California. They are most likely acting on bad advice given by the board members, although technically they too have a duty to ensure they follow the law.
All of this is fixable, yet there seems to be a stronger desire to mock me than to actually try to fix any of this. That is their choice, their lack of interest in what I found speaks to me as to their prior knowledge of it.
April 15th, 2010 on 11:40 am
Trixter, the reason why you chose to pick this fight baffles me. Which leads me to believe that there may be some serious truth behind your accusations, or you are otherwise motivated. Trademark issues aside, what proof have you uncovered that fingers Zombie Squad as a criminal organization?
Required by law or not, it seems you want to enlighten members that do not know of what you speak and. So, speak. I’m all ears.
April 15th, 2010 on 1:08 pm
I did not pick this fight. This fight started because I suggested having an unofficial social gathering. For quite some time there was an individual that had been trying to get people together to form their own chapter covering this area. They were unsuccessful. There appeared to be a positive response to the social gathering and that is when things went downhill.
What baffles me is why there are people still coming to my page to discuss this, the thread on the ZS forums was removed right? So how is this still being talked about? How are people still informed about this to come over here?
April 20th, 2010 on 10:12 am
Speaking for myself, I was late in getting in on the dogpile, though I had read and kept up with the NorCal meet thread. The thread you mention is still on the site in the graveyard for those who look.
But you didn’t answer the question Trixter, what did you find that labels Zombie Squad as a criminal or otherwise dubious organization?
I await with baited breath.
April 20th, 2010 on 6:10 pm
Many threads that I talked about as well as about 100 wiki pages are still up.
You are right I did not answer the question, although I do not know why it is so important to people that I do. If I answer the question I give information that can be used to prosecute those involved with Zombie Squad. Currently I am not legally obligated to provide any evidence I have uncovered that would result in a prosecution.
If people truly believe that I have no information, why not sue me for defaming the organization and some of its members? Why not even send a cease and desist letter over either the trademark or the content of the post? Such letters have been sent over tshirts that did not directly use the term ‘zombie squad’ or the ZS logo but were similar in nature (I cant find the person who had this happen and was talking about it right now, but its out there somewhere). So if they will try to claim a phrase from a 1980s movie as their property (that is not why its defective, prior art does not make a trademark instantly defective, what I found does) and they will issue takedown notices to those online printing stores and such why not me?
May 3rd, 2010 on 6:00 pm
Legally no you are not required. But morally is another matter, you would probably have already defamed the organization and made the information public. Since you have not, I’m going to assume that you don’t have any such information and you are bluffing in order to needlessly protect yourself in the reproduction of the Zombie Squad logo and name that I suspect you are not interested in doing.
Further conjecture leads me to believe that you responded so vehemently to requests by the mods on a whim and you decided to run with the bluff to save netface. For whatever that’s worth.
You ask why does ZS not take action against you? Because you are one person sir. You may be a big enough problem or simply annoying enough to the mods to take action against you on the boards. However that does not mean further action needs to be taken.
If you want to continue holding onto the information, feel free. I’m not disposed to look for the information nor do I have the savvy to do so. I have more important things to do.
Anyway, have a good one Trixter.
May 3rd, 2010 on 6:30 pm
Just so I understand this, you came over to this website just to call me a liar based on your conjecture. I see. If I am, as you put it, defaming them they have a valid case against me. I am not defaming them, which means that they have no case. Should a case be brought they know that a countersuit is likely to win while their case gets dismissed in a summary judgement (meaning it does not even go to trial).
I just reconfirmed some of the claims, namely the larger one that they are operating illegally and sure enough I discovered they are.
The fact is that the officers of Zombie Squad, Inc are aware of this site, what it says about Zombie Squad, Inc, and the actions of those officers and they opted to do nothing. They also know that their (defective) trademark is being used here, failure to protect their trademark results in losing their trademark outright. Although if they sued me over it they would lose it anyway. I just cant get it delisted without a hearing, so I have to wait for them. Either way they go about it, it ends up being gone.
The reality about why I wont reveal what I know is more because I know they can fix things. They can be legal, they can stop committing wire fraud (yes, I now know that they are doing that), they can stop committing other “crimes against the government of the United States of America”. They have the responsibility to be legal, I do not have the responsibility to help them, nor do I have the responsibility to inform government agencies of their crimes.
What would scare me more is the fact that any member of Zombie Squad has opened themselves up to potential lawsuit. Each member can be sued severally or jointly (meaning by themselves or all together as a group) for any and all actions that the group is involved in.
What this means is that if there is a ZS event and someone gets hurt, they can sue members that were not even present at that event and try to go after their personal property such as homes, bank accounts, and other items. I discovered this one by accident, but none the less it is there. Insurance policies are also likely not going to offer the level of protection that people expect them to offer due to some of these things.

I still fail to see why you are refusing to disclose at least a portion of the evidence that you claim to have. If the evidence is as incontrovertible as you seem to say it is, and you have proceeded through the appropriate legal steps with your counsel to prepare the evidence, then nothing with change how damaging it will be. And a portion revealed does nothing to reduce the threat that your case poses. Now…you seem to have confused your legal doctrine a bit. If they sue you over your use of the “copyrighted” logo,(that is not to say I am making a statement on the validity of the copyright) nothing about thier buisness practices means anything in terms of your case. Legal counsel argument can present anything they want, but if it doesn’t address the direct issue of the use of the logo…then it won’t be considered. As for thier legal transgressions, either IRS issues or USC violations, that would be handled by the local DA’s office in Federal Circuit Court. Now…if you are threatening people with legal evidence for personal gain and this is discovered…it is called extortion, and that incidentally is a crime. If you are not reporting a criminal act that you are aware of, and not under any form of negative influence from another party…it COULD be looked upon as withholding evidence. So…when looking at the issues, the lawsuit for the logo would be quite separate than the criminal acts you claim to have evidence of. Of course…your lawyer should have told you all this.
August 11th, 2010 on 7:51 pm
I am unclear why I would have to go through any steps with counsel for claims that someone they dont represent is violating the law. What legal steps are involved in this, would you at least share that?
I never said “copyrighted” logo, I said trademarked. They are different sets of laws, and I did not confuse the two bits of doctrine despite you insisting that I did. What proof I possess regarding the trademark at the time of this writing and a month ago (I have not checked for the last month) makes the trademark defective (as in a legal sense). If they sue they lose their trademark and opens the door for a counterclaim against them. I personally believe they know this and that is why they have opted to not sue. Lack of protection on a trademarked item when the claimed owner knows such infringement exists also causes the trademark to become invalid. So basically they can sue and lose the trademark or not sue and lose the ability to protect the trademark in the future.
Actually you are confusing extortion with blackmail. It would be extortion (18 USC 1951) if I demanded anything of value (per the statute, which is part of the Hobbs act which ultimately is part of the RICO statutes, and afaik the only RICO statute that can be charged against a single individual). The elements of extortion requires that it be 1. something in interstate or foreign commerce, 2. a threat of violence or economic harm, neither of which I have done.
Blackmail (18 USC 873) would be me threatening to turn this evidence over (or to not turn it over) in exchange for money or something of value. I never made a threat to turn this evidence over to anyone, nor did I make demands in exchange it would be kept quiet. Revealing it here would enable federal and state authorities to go after Zombie Squad, Inc. as well as individual members in at least 1 state (probably others as well).
Further, just holding a membership card opens each individual member liable in at least 1 state (I dont know all the state laws nor do I know all the facts for other states so I can only comment on 1 state). What this means is that at least in California if you are a member your personal property can be sought in court should anything come up at any official event, or at least it appears that way, but that was not part of my initial claim and gets a bit off topic. This means that a lawsuit against ZS for anything can bring in individual members as defendants and they could be found liable for any damages assessed. Bank accounts, homes, vehicles, and other property could be seized to pay the damages even if that member had no participation in that event, it has to do with the way the laws are in California and the way the membership is done here.
It is not currently illegal to fail to report evidence that others are doing, with the exception in California under certain circumstances. As I do not live in any other state I am not obliged to follow those state laws. The federal government has no law that requires me to call them up and do their job for them, although 18 USC 1001 requires me to make truthful statements if asked. So far, no one under the ‘color of law’ has asked me so that is a moot point. California recently amended a law that requires you to report only violent crimes, before the law was violent crimes where the victim is under the age of 16. As this is a non-violent series of crimes (as far as I know anyway) I am not required to report it. The only way I could be brought into this as a criminal charge would be under the conspiracy laws that exist and given my involvement – or rather lack of involvement – that would be a stretch to even get the indictment.
I never said that the lawsuit for the logo would be intertwined with any proceedings for the criminal charges, although once the evidence comes out in the lawsuit trial odds are the government would then want to proceed with criminal charges against ZS, its officers and at least some of its members. The government case would be handed to them as part of my defense in the trademark lawsuit should that come about. It would be a trivial case to bring given the evidence that I possess.
I think you need to stop trying to be an internet lawyer and pay a bit more attention to what I have said, what the laws say and learn something as opposed to just making wild allegations that are completely inaccurate.
