Court Authorizes “Full and Complete Discovery”, Including Forensic Discovery into Alleged AiPi Perpetuation of Fraud on a “Grand Scale”

February 4, 2025

Eastern District of Virginia Judge Leonie Brinkema has deferred a ruling on a motion for civil contempt filed by Netflix against AiPi, LLC, in which Netflix argued that AiPi perpetuated a fraud on federal courts on a “grand scale”. The court has granted Netflix “full and complete discovery” before any ruling on its motion, that discovery to include the deposition of Eric Morehouse, AiPi’s corporate representative, after forensic access to “all devices used by AiPi, including but not limited to the computer of” Morehouse, as well as to email servers, if necessary, as well as “discovery into AiPi’s use of Netflix’s [marked confidential] financial information”. This ruling comes 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.
