The FBI raided my home over a case that can be debunked in 30 seconds. It started with an absurd corporate referral from Amazon. This is my story or injustice. 🧵

My community has $15b of yearly sales on Amazon with 800+ members. These are small businesses. They employ real Americans and support local communities. They do not have large margins to absorb shocks. Every year Amazon squeezes them more and supports overseas Chinese sellers instead of local American businesses. Now Amazon is hitting sellers with even more of a squeeze all back to back: 1.Amazon has moved many sellers to DD+7 Meaning funds are held until 7 days after delivery, not simply paid out on the old cadence. 2.Amazon just added a 3.5% fuel/logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees. 3.To top it off now Amazon Ads charges will be pulled directly from disbursements rather than floating on a credit card. That combination matters. Amazon already forces sellers into an environment where ads dominate visibility. So now the same platform that pressures brands to spend more on ads is also tightening payout timing and pulling more cash out before sellers ever see it. For a very large business, this is just a minor annoyance. But for a small business making payroll just got 50x harder. Less cash on hand means: less inventory more stockouts more debt more strain on small teams and ultimately a worse customer experience This is not “supporting small business.” It is starving the brands that create so much of the value customers come to Amazon for. @WSJ @business @nytimesbusiness @BusinessInsider @ReutersBiz @CNBC @APBusiness If you’re covering Amazon, local communities hit by a hard economy and large companies trying to squeeze hardworking Americans hit me up.

@Mike_Adams_OG @Amy_K_Nelson @ajassy Innocent victim. End of story x.com/i/status/20109…

@ed_rosenberg @Amy_K_Nelson @ajassy You’re a convicted criminal who pled guilty. End of story.

Six year ago today, Amazon sent the FBI to my door. They’ve done this to dozens of other Americans. Ed is one. His story is horrible. Why do you do this, @ajassy ?

@Mike_Adams_OG @Amy_K_Nelson @ajassy Here as well x.com/i/status/20204…

@Amy_K_Nelson @ajassy No, it’s clear: @ed_rosenberg is a known and admitted criminal. justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/b…

@IntRschAgncy At this point unsure. It's a injustice @FBISeattle @WDWAnews @EagleEdMartin

@ed_rosenberg So... what did they say you did? This is a long story and I read all your posts, but I didn't even really see what the allegation was. As an Amazon customer I know how shady Amazon sellers can be.

2 great Americans

@PJeffcock Nothing can justify the weaponization of the justice system. Even trying to knock out dissent with a scammy case.

Pleading guilty and being guilty are entirely separate things when you’re up against earth’s biggest company with an army of lawyers who can drag things out for years whilst having the gun of unrecoverable financial ruin pointing at your head. Nobody can say what they’ll actually do in the position you were in until it comes down to it but I’m pretty sure I would have done the same. If Amazon had had proper escalation mechanisms to address legitimate sellers’ concerns none of this would have happened in the first place. And the problem is they largely still don’t have proper escalation mechanisms or won’t act on concerns that are raised.

@realtrumpstein Many of these are grossly exaggerated or completely wrong. He's fixing injustice

HOLY SH*T: President Trump pardoned Jewish nursing home owner, Joseph Schwartz, 3 months into his sentence. He was invovled in a $39 MILLION fraud scheme for endangering residents & defrauding employees. Gee... I wonder why. 🧃💰🤔 Do NOT tell me this Admin cares about fraud.

I agree this is injustice and very wrong.

@HawleyMO Josh can you see this abuse please. Outrageous injustice x.com/i/status/20375…

Congress needs to pass my legislation empowering victims and parents to sue Big Tech

@elonmusk Elon can you help this injustice? x.com/i/status/20375…

@ed_rosenberg I wish I’d known you existed years ago. Been a large seller on Amazon for decades. I have many stories. As a consumer, Amazon is awesome. As a seller, not so much.

@GoldenNoel follow @AmazonASGTG

Dear Mr President @realDonaldTrump @POTUS These two gentlemen have committed no crime. Their ‘crime’ is writing code that works too well. Please, pardon Keonne Rodriguez and William Hill today! change.org/billandkeonne #PardonSamourai
