Defendant
I have received your request to waive service of a summons in this action along with a copy of the complaint,
two copies of this waiver form, and a prepaid means of returning one signed copy of the form to you.
I, or the entity I represent, agree to save the expense of serving a summons and complaint in this case.
I understand that I, or the entity I represent, will keep all defenses or objections to the lawsuit, the court's
jurisdiction, and the venue of the action, but that I waive any objections to the absence of a summons or of service.
I also understand that I, or the entity I represent, must file and serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 within
60 days from December , 2015 , the date when this request was sent (or 90 days if it was sent outside the
United States). If I fail to do so, a default judgment will be entered against me or the entity I represent.

Duty to Avoid Unnecessary Expenses of Serving a Summons
Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires certain defendants to cooperate in saving unnecessary expenses of serving a summons
and complaint. A defendant who is located in the United States and who fails to return a signed waiver of service requested by a plaintiff located in
the United States will be required to pay the expenses of service, unless the defendant shows good cause for the failure.
"Good cause" does not include a belief that the lawsuit is groundless, or that it has been brought in an improper venue, or that the court has
no jurisdiction over this matter or over the defendant or the defendant's property.
If the waiver is signed and returned, you can still make these and all other defenses and objections, but you cannot object to the absence of
a summons or of service.
If you waive service, then you must, within the time specified on the waiver form, serve an answer or a motion under Rule 12 on the plaintiff
and file a copy with the court. By signing and returning the waiver form, you are allowed more time to respond than if a summons had been served.

If you fail to respond, judgment by default will be entered against you for the relief demanded in the complaint.
You also must file your answer or motion with the court.

My address for service is 120 Meadow Lane, State College, PA. Would you like my
phone number for your process server to call me to make sure he can serve me? I look

firms (emphasis supplied).
c.
I am a paralegal at a Palo Alto law firm that works with many VC firms, both local and
in Texas and the Boston area. I have significant access to very, very valuable information
of interest to those in the VC community and those that want to seek VC funding. I have
"sold" inside information through a series of cut-outs that shield me as the source. I
would like to have a more legitimate, less cloaky, portal to expand my information
business (emphasis supplied).
d.
I was a barrister in England before relocating to the US. I have to take the California bar
exam before I become fully credentialed in CA. I am performing more paralegal-like
work here at Hagan...that is why I am casting about for other opportunities (emphasis

community that is accessed at www.insidervc.com (bolface supplied).8
b.
What do I tell the folks that respond to my ad for www.insidervc.com??? Ive got it all
over craigslist and other classified sites.
c.
Craislist [sic] never "cut" me. What is shit-nuts talking about now?
d.
Yes, craigslist did remove it but its been posted on five other cities. I've even had
inquiries. In fact, maybe you can answer this question: One guy wanted to know if is built
with any "PHP scripts"? Do you know what that is and what is the answer. Hurry back to
me, he's waiting for a reply.
e.
I'm working ten cities (I just added five more since I last emailed you).
f.
Got another inquiry about our site...I tried to log into the web host but forgot the
password. Can you refresh my memory again?
g.

Why don't you modify the site by adding a page www.insidervc.com/alexi.html with a

Repeatedly, Mohsenin claimed that his motives, purposes, goals, etc., were his own
financial gain, at Plaintiffs expense. For example, according to Mohsenin, in his own words:
a.
b.
c.
d.
I see Julia forced you to buy www.insider.net! Ha, ha! What a lameass!
e.
f.
g.
It's basically a Web 2.0 social-networking site for a very select, niche group of wealth
management folks. We have a very high profile angel investor backing us "We" is our
team. Investor, develoers [sic], subscribers.
h.
i.
If I get my price [for illegally advertising and selling your site],10 I'll consider buying
your site for $5000 (emphasis supplied).
10.
which (from Plaintiff,11 EarthLink,12 Hostgator,13 Google, Gmail, and others) he freely and
voluntarily confirmed, in his own words:
a.
I've already written your email for you to cut and paste STOP ALL YOUR
ACTIONABLE BEHAVIOR! (emphasis in original).
b.
10
$15,000. For but one of Mohsenins countless illegal ads over the years, see EXHIBIT C.
See, Group EXHIBIT D at 3, for an example. Mohsenin -- who refused to answer the simplest of questions
(e.g., his name) -- is, inter alia, overweight.
12
Mohsenin replied: boo hoo, waaa! Geez, what a bawl baby.
13
Pursuant to, inter alia, THE DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT. Mohsenin admitted he is a repeat offender.

When George Bush left Austin the average IQ of the city rose slightly.
j.
k.
l.
Fat geek that thinks google [sic] or gmail [sic] will even give a shit! You just flushed a
grand down the shit hole dipshit!
m.
n.
Mohsenin still refuses to stop all (or any) of his actionable, even felonious
behavior. For example, not only falsely holding himself out as a lawyer, but also falsely
simulating legal processes. According to Mohsenin, as always, in his own words:
a.
I have a default judgment of $9,764 against you in California from three years ago by the
wayyou never showed up for the small claims hearing! I'm getting the judgment
domesticated in Travis County so I can seize your assets.
b.
Page 7 of 13
to himself -- profane messages impersonating Plaintiff,16 and then complains about them.
14.
fraudulent eBay listings, illegally impersonating Plaintiff. For example, according to Mohsenin:
Found someone selling this on ebay [sic] for $100 Buy It Now http://insidervc.info
So you had no luck with .com for years? You actually think ".info" will help?????
Geez, you are warped...or a really bad businessman. Both likely.
16.
Mohsenin is such a warped and really bad sociopath that -- abusing both
private registration and interstate wire communications -- he fakes complaints about his own
illegally copied, fraudulent, imposter, stupid .info site. For example, according to Mohsenin:
Looks like my complaint to your hosting company worked to get your stupid .info
site off the radar! HA HA! So much for our private registration--trying to hide
from us, eh?
17.
Mohsenin is such a sick sociopath that he even fakes answering his own
fraudulent advertisements. For example, Mohsenin, again in his own words -- about himself, his
own deceptive identities and listings -- each time violating repeated notices to stop:
a.
Are you the owner of insider.info [sic] as well (the registration is shown as private). If so,
could you provide that domain as well?.18
b.
Are you Srini that was also selling the insidervc.info site on the same craigslist site?.19
c.
I also saw someone trying to sell your same site or one awfully close to it on craigslist?
Is that you shilling or something? I bet you've got all kinds of folks that think you're off
he [sic] hook emailing you (emphasis supplied).
d.
What is this all about?? I thought you'd be interested that someone listed a name similar
to yours on craigslist (emphasis supplied).
16
Page 8 of 13
18.
Mohsenin is such a twisted sociopath that he fakes telephone calls to himself and
even fakes sales to himself. For example, Mohsenin, again in his own words, about himself, each
time violating repeated warnings to stop:
a.
One of your craigslist ads. There seems to be two. One is asking $50 and includes the
".info." Now I'm confused??? (emphasis supplied)
b.
I called the phone from the other ad and I am dealing with them (emphasis supplied).20
c.
www.insidervc.info I found this on craigslist for $25, so I bought it. The owner hasn't
transfered [sic] yet. It looks like your site? Are you involved with it somehow? Care to
join forces? (emphasis supplied).
d.
I never heard from you regarding teaming up on insidervc.info. We have very similar
names, you think so, right? (emphasis supplied).
19.
filthy, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, scatological, felonious, and other disgusting, hard-core
harassment, advertisements, solicitations, and impersonations (literally, thousands of pages)
including vile racial slurs, bestiality, extremely offensive sexual acts, photos and images,
pedophilia, and child molestations. For example, according to Mohsenin, in his own words:
a.
Check me out here
http://www.nudetube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=1731&title=Latina_does_the_handjob.
b.

telephone,24 voice-mail, social media and, of course, e-mail. For example, Mohsenin, in his own
words, each time violating repeated notices to cease and desist:
a.
b.
I noticed my last email was deleted by mistake without you being able to read it.
c.
d.
I keep getting these read receipts saying "not read." I bet you're really reading them.

low-income Asian Pacific Islander immigrants in deportation proceedings,25 represents him in all
(or any of) these matters. For example, according to Mohsenin, in his own words:
a.
I've given Mr. Prassad [sic] permission to contact you. What number should he use?
b.
If you want my attorney to contact me [sic], you've GOT to give me a phone number!
c.
As I said, I am an attorney. I don't cut my own hair just as I don't represent myself. What
form would you like to be contacted? My attorney prefers a phone call first (emphasis
supplied).
d.
My attorney is curious as to what you want. You can contact him at 415.568.3777. Ask
for Anoop Prasad.
e.
So you called my attorney. Excellent. What did he say? You mean, you actually picked
up the phone and called this guy I sent you to! That's one for me, shit-nuts!!
23.
No one with whom Mohsenin purports to act in concert (or even know) has ever
heard of him (save those who, like Plaintiff, requested Mohsenin stop). For example:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Anoop Prassad [sic], staff attorney at Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian Law
Caucus in the Immigrant Rights Program.

Michael Bazeley, UC Berkeley Law School / San Jose Mercury News,32 who responds:

See, http://www.advancingjustice-alc.org/staff-member/anoop-prasad.
I'm chaperoning a party at Heidi Rozien's [sic] house My kid goes to school with her daughter and I've been
asked to help out.
27
Had Mohsenin been telling the truth and not trying to scam or defraud someone (for the first time in his pathetic
life), then he would have known that Heidi Roziens [sic] employer subscribed to Plaintiffs site.
28
I bumped into Meg Whitman I'll let Meg know your subpoena is coming.
29
One of my trim carpenters is working on his job.
30
I did get an answer from Lundberg--he [sic] not happy man!

b.
c.
d.
e.
There's a similar ad for your same site on the NYC craigslist and the guy wants $500!
(emphasis supplied).35
f.
g.
I brought your domain to the attention of some other folks at my company now that we're
all back at work. They are possibly willing to entertain a higher offer. What are you
interested in selling it for?
h.
i.
Would you take $5000 for both domains together with integrating a blog into the site? Do
you take Paypal?
j.
k.
l.
What are you asking for the domain name you have on craigslist? What is your phone
number to discuss details?.37
m.
Once again, I am asking for a contact phone number for Mr. Prassad [sic].
n.
I'm now gathering that last week's Forbes' cover story was about folks like you. It's a
business magazine in case you aren't familiar with it. Can you get it in Nigeria?.38
33
See, EXHIBIT H.
Mohsenin knows full well that, since the price is more than 99 ($0.99), he cannot afford it.
