The Record

The Hooman Asbaghi Case

Section 09

Connections

Documented overlaps of people, institutions, and dates. Overlap is not guilt. A possible setting is not a named shipment.

What overlap does and does not show

A claim of an unauthorized smart hip would be easier to dismiss if the year, hospital, surgeon, or research neighborhood did not exist. They do. Scripps hosted SCORE. Walker operated. Public copy describes electronic knees and, later, smart shoulders. His 2025 chart still describes the hips he received as standard Stryker without electronics. Both can be shown. Neither is hidden.

documented

Padtan Elm Farideh Kavesh

1999 power of attorney + share lists

She is printed as his attorney as early as July 2003 minutes, and later as an officer. After 1999 that is the default reading. Paper is not a theft finding. An attorney-in-fact has a duty to act in the principal’s interest; whether that duty was kept is the civil question.

documented

Hooman Asbaghi Scripps Green / Walker

2015 and 2017 THA faces

Surgeries happened. Device identity on staff lists is conventional Stryker.

circumstantial

Walker Colwell / D’Lima / SCORE

same campus; 2004 magazine names Walker + Colwell as fellowship directors

Same institution, public research program. Not an operative link to his hips.

circumstantial

Stryker parts lists Healio 2008 / NIH 2024 shoulder

manufacturer + campus research copy

Literature shows the field exists. Walker 2025 says his hips were not that field.

circumstantial

Ommid Asbaghi Curebound / Scripps Research / Moores

Bill’s Angels captions + beneficiary lists

Family name on a fundraiser that supports institutions in the same city. Not enrollment.

circumstantial

Padtan Elm ELISA catalog (thyroid, PSA, ferritin…) MyScripps biomarker names

archived padtan.com product names vs portal test names

Name overlap is real if both lists are shown. It is not a wire from a hip to Tehran.

conflict

Sheean lab labels 2016 Karches “I do not know a Dr. Sheean”

same patient portal, different faces

Both sentences stay. Neither is deleted to make a cleaner story.

conflict

Test Details 677C>T Result Trends c.675C>T

same collection 13 Oct 2016 14:20

Both strings are on portal faces. Do not call 675 a typo. Do not call 677 a glitch. Do not treat the mismatch as finished proof of fabrication.

alleged

Codex DNA monument MTHFR 13 Oct 2016

Folder 6 filename + Article 2

Street View shows co-signed Scripps/Codex monument. The MTHFR crop does not print Codex. Keep them separate until a face names the lab.

circumstantial

Central Lab 9535 Waples St. 150 Codex DNA Suite 100

same street number; catecholamines face vs 2021 Codex SEC filing vs Scripps CLIA

Scripps Medical Laboratory – Sorrento Mesa is publicly listed at 9535 Waples St Ste 150. Codex DNA listed Suite 100 in the same building. The catecholamines face matches the Scripps suite, not Codex. Sharing a building is not the same as running the assay.

conflict

Walker / Greene / Risk Management 2025 denials Thin notes, 675/677, Sheean vs Karches, SCORE copy

same case file, different faces

Official negatives stay on the table. They do not take the other faces off the table. The site does not write guilty. It also does not write closed.

documented

Scripps visit note Labs / DEXA from Iran

Folder 6 Fabricated Docs still — Grok Sessions 171–172, mounted here

The chart names Iran. It sources the Iran testosterone as “patient states.” That is not the same as a lab-to-lab dump from Pathobiology Laboratory Centers, and it is not nothing.

documented

Hooman Asbaghi Massoud Ghasemi

27 Aug 2002 board page (Madayen / Bionic) + 2024 official notice

They are printed together on a 2002 approval page. In 2024 Ghasemi is noticed, with Narges Javad, about questions concerning Hooman — that notice belongs later in the story. A board page is not a 1991 stent log. A notice is not a judgment.

documented

Ghasemi CV Valeix / Teirstein / Saeed / Imam Khomeini / Scripps 2003

named references and certificates on his own profile

Valeix, Saeed, and Teirstein are printed as references. France 1993 and Scripps 2003 are printed as certificates. Imam Khomeini is printed as a current post. Richard Schatz is not on that list. References are not a training log for Palmaz-Schatz in 1991–93. The 2003 Scripps line is an independent match to the claim he was in San Diego around 2000/2003. It is not proof Hooman made the introduction.

circumstantial

Claim: he brought Ghasemi to San Diego ~2000/2003 Ghasemi’s own CV — Scripps Clinic certificate 2003

same year, same campus, printed independently on Ghasemi’s paper

Credibility of the San Diego claim, not a finding that Hooman arranged it. Folder 3 has no boarding pass, Scripps badge, or arranging letter. The CV already independently matches year and campus. Introduction stays the claim. The CV also lists M. Saeed and Paul Teirstein as Scripps references — the same names the narrative uses. Those lines are references. Mohsin Saeed is pinned for later.

circumstantial

Palmaz-Schatz calendar Claimed Iran introductions 1991–93

first coronary implant Dec 1987; U.S. iliac 1991; U.S. coronary PMA Aug 1994; international coronary use already underway by 1991

U.S. coronary approval in 1994 does not close the early-1990s window. Palmaz records coronary work in Europe, Japan, and Latin America before that PMA. Tehran sources date angioplasty expansion to 1370 SH (1991–92). Foreign proctors were ordinary. Valeix’s 1992–93 papers are Wiktor, a different stent. The setting makes the activity possible. No warehouse page puts Hooman’s name on a Palmaz-Schatz shipment.

documented

Kianoosh Behlouli Padtan Elm inspector seat, 2011–2013

Warehouse minutes 1390/5/18 + matching gazettes + Rasmio dump

Gazettes name him alternate inspector; Amargaran Accounting is principal. The later Farsi letter’s heading says principal. Keep both. The match of man and years is witness credibility. It is not a court finding of theft.

circumstantial

Official gazette 24 Dey 1391 Alleged 14 January 2013 share transfer

Same calendar day; published act is an objects amendment adding export of all permitted goods

A meeting is on the register that day. The published act is not a share deed. The deed has not been mounted. Absence of that deed is expected if concealment is the theory; absence is not itself the proof.

circumstantial

14 Jan 2013 export-clause gazette 1 Jul 2013 EO 13645 / IFCA effective

same six-month window; padtanteb.ir first Wayback save 23 June 2013 sits between them

The dates are real. IFCA is sectoral (energy, shipping, shipbuilding, rial, auto), not a finding that IVD exports were newly banned that morning. Broader Iran sanctions already existed. An old registered company with a long gazette trail is a harder KYC vehicle than a clean new name — that is the open question. It is not a closing that they created a shell to evade. Padtan Teb’s own copy claims 1366 / 1369 / 1990. A new website is not a new legal entity.

conflict

Padtan Teb self-description padtanteb.ir first archive 23 Jun 2013

own copy claims 1987 or 1990; first listed Wayback save is June 2013

Live padtanteb.ir says 1366. Warehouse introduction still says 1369 / 1990. Archive calendar starts 23 June 2013. Four new Google stills in the parent folder show related-name logos (Elm, Padza, Danesh, Pishtaz Teb). Those stills are not a register page. No national-ID / register-number / official-founding-date page is in the Teb subfolder. Keep all three website years. Padza Padtan dates itself to 2017 — a later related-name company, not the 2013 vehicle.

documented

Narges Javad Padtan Elm

Oct 2002 equal share; May 2012 managing director; 2024 notice

She is not on the 1996 founding minutes. She is on later company paper as owner and then as managing director. That is a later-entry record, not a 1995 founding.

circumstantial

Padtan Elm ELISA kits Iranome catalog

same country; kit company documented; Iranome FAQ names Illumina, not Padtan

A working IVD company and a later public genomic catalog can exist in the same industry without one owning the other. No page currently attributes Iranome to Padtan, Farideh, or Hooman. Capability is not guilt.

documented

Padtan Elm commercial IgE kit Published sulfur-mustard small-airway methods

methods line: IgE (Padtan Elm co)

Independent paper used a named Padtan Elm kit. That is supplier-in-the-literature, not a 2013 transfer and not a Roche contract.

documented

Wiley methods §2.2 + colonoscopy/PSA paper Padtan Elm of Tehran as named supplier

SinaClon on the same chemicals page; “Padtan elm kit (made in Iran)” for PSA; ferritin/Hb companion line

Remainder of the Articles Naming Padtan ELM folder. Second IgE PDF is the same 1.88 MB file, not a second citation. Elsevier “Alnylam AND Padtan Elm” bookstore search is a search hit, not a paper.

documented

2018 ELISA-plate contract Farideh Kavesh and Soudabeh Keykavousi as authorized board

Padtan Elm Evidence Doc1 — register 127180, 30,000 Biomat plates, catalog MGOIF-HB8

Hard commercial paper after the alleged 2013 exclusion. Euro totals held off the public caption. A plate purchase is not the missing deed and not a finding about his hips.

documented

Farci Rasmio dump (national ID 10101705792) 2011 objects gazette news 11777168

extraordinary meeting 8/3/90; gazette 1391/03/08; same register 127180 as the English dump

Unique gazette the English extract did not table: kit production, import of production inputs, diagnostic-kit research. Two years before the 14 January 2013 export-clause gazette. Not the missing share deed. Graph links to Central Pathobiology Lab and Amargaran are supporting network, not theft.

alleged

Hooman’s presentation of related-name IVD marks Padtan Elm / Padza Pajooh / PadTan Danesh / Pishtaz Teb

four Google-image stills in the shell folder; similar names and badge logos

This is what he presented as shells of the original company. Name and logo similarity is on the stills. It is not a finding they are one legal entity or that anyone created a shell to evade. Pishtaz Teb is a named 2017 defendant. Padza’s public founder paper names Fatemeh Rabbani, 2017.

The full uncropped 815 scan is what was sent as the 1999 original. The face is 1392. Keep both instruments. Filename is a label.

conflict

Thermo Fisher catalog “Padtan Elm” Yeast gene Elm1

TaqMan assay Sc04140348_s1, species Baker’s yeast

The search string hits a gene name. That is not a distribution contract. A warehouse still of an Academia.edu listing titles a paper “thermo Fisher and Padtan Elm” under his name. That listing is not his paper. It was found by the investigator and later disappeared. Keep the anomaly. Do not treat it as his authorship.
