Eastern District of Virginia Judge Leonie Brinkema held a hearing this past Friday on a motion for civil contempt against AiPi LLC filed by Netflix. The hearing occurred in a proceeding brought by AiPi to quash a third-party subpoena served in connection with ongoing litigation between Lauri Valjakka and Netflix in the Northern District of California over a claim under the California Uniform Voidable Transactions Act (CUVTA). In its motion for civil contempt, Netflix represents that AiPi personnel have committed perjury, that AiPi has been engaged in the unauthorized practice of law, that the scheme operating in the background of multiple litigation campaigns has had William P. Ramey III of Ramey LLP acting as a “ventriloquists’ doll” mouthing AiPi’s legal work to nationwide courts, and that all of this amounts to the AiPi perpetuation of fraud on federal courts on a “grand scale”.
