The Record

The Hooman Asbaghi Case

A filing is not a verdict. Nothing on this site is a finding of liability.

Section 06

People

Names appear because they are printed on a document or a public page. Listing a name is not a finding of wrongdoing.

Subject

Hooman Ali Asbaghi

On the record. Named patient on Scripps/MyScripps faces; 9 Oct 2015 right THA and 23 Oct 2017 left THA under Richard Walker MD; plaintiff caption on a 1395 dispute-council cover against Padtan Elm. Named as a 25% founder on 1996 Padtan minutes. After 1999, later company paper that still prints his name is Farideh using the 1999 power of attorney: paper involvement, not his presence in the room. Public marriage listing: Carolin Manuela Botzenhardt, Clark County, Nevada, 16 October 1990. Plaintiff, Hooman Asbaghi vs Park Laurel Owners Association, filed 11 June 2018, dismissed without prejudice 27 July 2018 — that building file is one window. Apple mailbox faces — a 2020 Dear Ommid / Farideh iCloud alert, an 18 Apr 2024 News+ receipt, and his 1 Dec 2022 letter — are one window. Public GitHub sayem314/hooman, created 3 May 2020, sits on one window with the HAA search still; he later wrote to that author. Phone-anomaly stills — iOS managed-profile / Screen Time language, a Microsoft IT-department picker, ProtonMail Contacts repeating Hoghooghi, Screen Time recordings of the master toggle turned off — sit on one window with the AT&T witness file. Named attorney-in-fact on a 24 October 2024 Dubai Courts instrument, signed 14:08:03, for inquiry into Farideh Kavesh’s UAE banking — that later paper is one window. A second instrument that afternoon names two UAE advocates instead of him. Named as the client on a 6 December 2024 King & Spalding engagement letter whose Scope of Work writes approximately $4 billion; the countersignature in this warehouse is blank. A Chase notice prints his $25,000 outgoing wire on 10 January 2025.

Not established. That the implants contain radios, that labs were collected remotely, or that family philanthropy funded a study on him. That he received the 5 January 2017 $950,000 wire — that notice names Ommid as trustee and does not print a beneficiary. Financial exclusion from Padtan Elm stays alleged until a company money trail is mounted. That sayem314/hooman was used against him. That Screen Time, a Microsoft IT-department prompt, port 62078, or a repeating Contacts list prove a third party ran his iPhone. That the Central Bank of the UAE holds approximately $4 billion — that figure is a Scope of Work on an unsigned engagement, not a bank confirmation.

Mother; vice-chair and CEO of Pathobiology Laboratory Center

Farideh Kavesh

On the record. Named as his attorney on the 1378 / 1999 power of attorney. July 2003 Padtan minutes already print his holding as exercised through her. Later share lists and gazette blocks still print his name as founder and shareholder while she signs. Appears as an officer of Padtan Elm, including vice-chair into the 1400s. Named with Ommid Asbaghi on Trans In’Tech, LLC — that chart is on this page and on hers. Official gazette 1402/08/22 of Pathobiology Laboratory Center (آزمایشگاه مرکزی پاتوبیولوژی, register 13884, national ID 10100524000) names her نایب رئیس هیئت مدیره و مدیرعامل through 1404/06/29; سیدمهدی مقیمی is رئیس هیئت مدیره. The same person is vice-chair of Padtan Elm. The laboratory directory and physicians table print names that also sit on Padtan Elm paper — Korourian as Quality Control Manager here and chair there. She is a 25% founder; after 1999 his printed 25% line is her using the 1999 instrument. Passport pages are on the 2024 Dubai power of attorney. They are not reprinted in this sentence. An Apple download alert, copyright 2020, names Apple ID farideh.kavesh@icloud.com and greets Ommid — that mailbox file is one window. A 24 October 2024 Dubai Courts instrument names her as principal and Hooman Ali as attorney-in-fact for inquiry into her UAE banking — that later paper is one window. A second Dubai Courts instrument the same afternoon, signed 14:40:57, names Marwan Mohamed Ahmed Noor Al-Mazmi and Ammar Ali Ahmed Ali Al-Mulla for lawsuits, settlement, and estate banking. Named customer on a 17 December 2024 recovery contract he signed as agent, and on a 12 December draft invoice. An 18 February 2026 email from Kavan Bakhda of Mishcon de Reya records Mr Drahmoune of Fotis Law as saying the Fotis instrument gave full authority to operate the accounts. The copy Drahmoune said he would send is not in this file.

Not established. A money trail showing she paid him, or that she did not. His physical presence in later meetings. That Trans In’Tech was a cover. That she is board chair of Pathobiology Laboratory Center — Moghimi is رئیس هیئت مدیره. That she still holds CEO after 1404/06/29 (~20 September 2025); Rasmio still printed that slate in September 2026, which is not a new appointment. A thanks plaque from the Iran Health Insurance Organization addresses the head of that laboratory as عالم حکیم — keep that face next to the gazette. That two 25% founder lines are a court finding of 50% voting control, or that laboratory titles prove she seated subordinates on the Padtan board for almost absolute power — those are his legal reading. A finding that she breached the duty of an attorney-in-fact — that is the civil question, not a closing on this page. That she Family-Shared an Apple ID with him — he says they did not; the 2020 alert is a forward without a To: line. That the 2024 Dubai inquiry instrument authorized withdrawal or that UAE banks paid under it — the printed 14:08 powers are inquiry, and DIB denied a later notice. That the 14:40 lawsuit-and-estate grant revoked the 14:08 inquiry paper — the file does not print a revocation. That King & Spalding or the recovery consultant were retained by her — those faces name him as client or as agent. That Drahmoune or Fotis Law later put that full-grant confirmation in writing — the promised copy is not in this warehouse. That they stopped writing after 18 February 2026 is the empty shelf, not a signed withdrawal.

Later shareholder and, by 2012, managing director; claimed co-founder

Narges Javad

On the record. He named her as a co-founder when the investigator met him. The 1996 founding minutes still do not print her. Named as an equal 12.5 million-rial shareholder on 16 October 2002. Named managing director on the 21 May 2012 gazette. Public directories list her as manager / MD of Padtan Elm, including a plaque-50 head-office listing. On a warehouse recording identified as a call with Behlouli, the woman on the line says she did not take action and that Ms. Kavesh can give the best explanations. Addressed, with Massoud Ghasemi, on a 13 April 2024 official notice concerning Hooman — that notice belongs later in the story. The notice’s own footer says it is not a lawsuit.

Not established. That she was a 1995 or 1996 equal founder on the constitution page. That she received the 2013 transfer. That “I didn’t do anything” on a phone call is a finding she was not involved. That she answered the 2024 notice.

Official accountant; alternate inspector on Padtan gazettes, 2011–2013

Kianoosh Behlouli

On the record. Warehouse minutes of 18 Mordad 1390 name him alternate inspector, with Amargaran Accounting Institute as principal; he signs as official accountant. Matching gazettes, and the Rasmio dump, reprint him in that seat through the year that covers 14 January 2013. A Farsi letter over his name is an exhibit. On a warehouse recording identified as a call with Narges, he says a lawyers’ notice reached him about Padtan Elm from when he was inspector, about a year-92 share movement, and that they wanted him as a witness.

Not established. That he was principal inspector — gazettes say alternate; the letter heading says principal. Keep both. The letter is not a court finding of theft. The call is not a finding that a Columbia firm served process, and it does not supply the missing 2013 deed.

Interventional cardiologist named with Hooman on a 2002 board

Massoud Ghasemi

On the record. CV: attending cardiologist, Imam Khomeini Medical Center; interventional fellowship, Tehran University, 1991–1992; interventional-cardiology certificate, France, 1993; Royal Marsden 1994; Royal Brompton 1996; endovascular certificate, Scripps Clinic, 2003. Printed references, as written, include Bernard Valeix, M. Saeed (Scripps vascular radiology, La Jolla), and Paul Teirstein (Scripps cardiology). Richard Schatz is not on that list. Signs a 27 August 2002 board page with Hooman (Madayen Hospital / Bionic). Addressed on the 2024 notice. Public IRSA site names him president. Named on the Behlouli–Narges call as the subject of a father’s memorial that day.

Not established. That Hooman brought him to San Diego, or paid for that trip. Folder 3 has no boarding pass, Scripps badge, or letter that he arranged the 2003 trip. The CV already independently matches year and campus; the introduction is still the claim. That Valeix trained him at Imam Khomeini in 1991–93 on Palmaz-Schatz stents. That the 2003 Scripps certificate is 1990s training. That he administered any drug named in later messages. Those messages are held off this page. A memorial mentioned on a phone call is not a finding he conspired in a 2013 share transfer.

Public Scripps vascular/IR physician; later in the story

Mohsin Saeed, MD

On the record. Ghasemi’s CV prints “M. Saeed. Head, Division of Vascular Radiology. Scripps clinic, La Jolla, California, USA” as a reference. Scripps.org lists Mohsin Saeed, MD, vascular and interventional radiology, at 10666 N Torrey Pines Rd, La Jolla, with Scripps Green among his hospitals. Independent public bios print staff since July 1988. The identity match is the reasonable public reading. He is pinned here because the same name becomes more relevant later.

Not established. That Hooman introduced Ghasemi to him. That he trained Ghasemi in the 1990s. That a listed reference is a visit log. Do not treat this pin as a 1990s training record.

Named on Ghasemi’s CV; Wiktor-stent author in the public literature

Bernard Valeix

On the record. Printed as Dr B. Valeix among Ghasemi’s references. Named author of Intracoronary Stenting Without Coumadin, Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1995. A public Marseille directory lists him as a cardiologist. Public 1992–93 papers list Valeix on the Wiktor stent, a different device from Palmaz-Schatz.

Not established. A visit to Imam Khomeini Hospital with Hooman. That he brought Palmaz-Schatz stents to Iran. No warehouse letter, itinerary, or shipping page currently prints those facts.

Sister; named manager on Trans In’Tech

Ommid S. Asbaghi

On the record. LinkedIn print: UC San Diego, Bachelor of Arts, Political Science and Government, Sep 1982 – Jun 1986. Named in 2019–2025 local coverage as a Padres Pedal the Cause / Bill’s Angels co-captain; those pages are now hosted. A 2 August 2025 Bill’s Angels captains letter names her and lists Scripps Research and Moores among Curebound beneficiaries. MLB.com, 23 April 2016: Padres and Pedal first partnered in 2015 and expanded the brand for 2016; she is not named on that release. Curebound copy lists Scripps Research among six partner institutions; the Cancer Challenge page prints more than $32.5 million raised. A Curebound Concert for Cures committee list prints Ommid Asbaghi on the same page as Pradeep Khosla and Carolin Botzenhardt. Fall 2018 La Jolla Country Day School magazine lists her in the Wisteria Cottage Society and Sherry Bahrambeygui-Hosey ’82 in the Louise Balmer Leadership Society. An LJCDS news page thanks her and the Bahrambeygui-Hosey family / Price Philanthropies for a Pedal faculty team. IASF donor-thanks lists name her on 2021–22 and 2020–21; the 2018–19 list names Hooman Asbaghi and Ommid Asbaghi. Curebound donor drive, 13 August 2025: Ommid Asbaghi $50 at 10:13 PM; Sherry Bahrambeygui $5,000 at 6:15 AM the same calendar day. WhatsApp stills Jason Moreno forwarded to Hooman 5 May 2025, 6:19 AM, Guarda porfa: inner chat named Ommid Asbaghi, 8 April header; she writes she has been paying close attention to his movements, friendships, and intentions, that she has Moreno’s details, that she knows much more than he imagines, and that her brother is a drug addict harassing her and their mother with a lawsuit. Named in Asbaghi vs Asbaghi. Named manager on Trans In’tech, LLC, California document 199619410017, filed 12 July 1996. That company also names Farideh Kavesh — the chart is on this page and on hers. A Concert for Cures host-committee graphic prints Ommid Asbaghi & Levant Alkibay on the same face as Carolin Botzenhardt & Paul Noury. A 2022 gallery filename names both women in one photograph. Named “Ommid” in Saqvan Ali’s 19 June 2026 notarized declaration as the sister who entered the Del Mar AT&T store; the same incident is in his 13 February 2020 email (“hooman asbaghi sister”) and 26 March 2024 statement. That witness file is one window — The AT&T statement — linked from this page, not a second sister page. Named “Dear Ommid” on a 2020 Apple download alert for farideh.kavesh@icloud.com, and as username ommid-farideh in Hooman’s 1 Dec 2022 letter — that mailbox file is one window. Named trustee on a 5 January 2017 First Republic outgoing-wire notice for the Asbaghi Revocable Trust, $950,000 — that money file is one window. A La Jolla Country Day plate prints Ommid Singoela Asbaghi, class of 1982. Saqvan Ali’s 13 February 2020 email calls her “hooman asbaghi sister.”

Not established. That fundraising caused, funded, or selected Hooman’s surgeries. Overlap with Scripps Research / Moores as beneficiary institutions is circumstantial. A UCSD political-science degree is not a laboratory appointment. That Trans In’Tech was a cover for Zanetti patents or Iranian trials. That she dated Zanetti or Saeed, worked in that lab, or introduced Zanetti to her mother. That Saeed introduced Walker because of that dating. Those sentences are his account. No personnel page is in this file. That Corporation Wiki pages were suppressed — the warehouse stills exist; current live availability is not this exhibit. A host-committee listing and a social photograph are continued contact, not a finding she ran Padtan Elm or moved money. Saqvan’s store account is a witness statement, not a finding she accessed or deleted an iCloud. June 24 2018 (2020 email) vs early 2019 (2024/2026) stays a date conflict. That she downloaded ICQ or Family-Shared with him — he says they do not share and he does not speak to her. A Dear Ommid greeting is not a download log. The 2017 wire does not print a beneficiary — it is not a finding she paid him, hid money, or evaded tax. Phone-anomaly stills do not prove she set Screen Time or enrolled a managed profile. A $50 Curebound row is not a study on him. The 2016 MLB article does not prove a Padres–Pedal relationship well before 2015. A concert-committee row with Khosla is not a grant to Zanetti. IASF donor-thanks for 2018–19, 2020–21, and 2021–22 are not a continuous 2010–2021 listing. Public paper does not show her raising millions for Scripps Research while Walker was SCMG president. A public Ommid–Laurie Black connection is not on the web pages in this file. “Drug addict” and “I have your details” are her bubbles, not findings. Paying close attention to movements is what she wrote, not a device log. That she accessed an iCloud, ran a hacking program, or commissioned the GitHub harvest. That Moghimis on the yearbook plate is the Pathobiology chair.

Orthopaedic surgeon, both hips

Richard H. Walker, MD

On the record. Attending on 2015 and 2017 THA faces; implant registry card for the 23 Oct 2017 left shell; June 2025 email/note: standard Stryker, no embedded chips. Public physician-page cover prints Sees existing patients only. Portal prints Richard Walker, MD: Out of office until 1/29/2027. A 21 April message to Dr. Hong prints that Walker had retired, that although he did take questions there was no response, and that the question has been removed. 24 February staff: Dr. Walker has retired. 19 June 2025 6:17 PM WhatsApp: Dr. Walker called; 6:18 I spoke to the attorney. No recording of that call is on this file. He writes Walker refused to see him since 2023 — that since-2023 sentence is his; no 2023 refusal letter is on this file. Scripps.org physician page: joined 1983; interests include computer-assisted navigation and pressure sensor applications; most recently President of Scripps Clinic Medical Group; Padres team physician over 15 years including 1984 and 1998 pennants. Dated SCMG presidency: 25 January 2017 Scripps news (before the 23 October 2017 left THA); 27 August 2018 Patch; 9 November 2020 Scripps news as president and CEO of SCMG; NPI 1538297726 last update 16 May 2023 authorized official PRESIDENT. Co-author lines with D’Lima and Colwell on hip papers 1994–2014, including Ceramic Liner Fracture and Impingement in Total Hip Arthroplasty, HSS Journal, published online 21 October 2014 — methods name Trident PSL / Super Secur-Fit Plus / Biolox; Walker declared no conflict of interest.

Not established. That he implanted a telemetry device. That those 2025 sentences close the file. An invitation to come in for evaluation is his telling, not the 19 June still. A medical-group presidency is not innocence and not guilt. SCMG is the physician group, not Scripps Health. The 9 October 2015 right THA is not locked as president on the dated faces. Navigation on an operative note is cup registration, not a radio. The 14 February 2007 Padres page names Larry Harrison as CEO of Scripps Clinic and Jan Fronek as head team physician — Walker is not on that staff list. The 2014 ceramic paper does not name him as the single surgeon of that 169-patient series. The retired-vs-present conflict stays open.

Assistant surgeon on the 2015 right THA packet

Kenneth J. Schmidt, MD

On the record. Named Kenneth Schmidt, MDF on the 2015 converted operative packet. Public bios: fellowship in lower-extremity reconstruction at Scripps Clinic La Jolla; later Phoenix; Stryker surgeon page lists robotic-arm assisted hip and knee. 2019 Orthopedics paper with Clifford W. Colwell Jr. on self-reported metal allergy after TKA, DOI 10.3928/01477447-20190906-01.

Not established. That he implanted a radio. Robotic-arm assistance on a later Arizona practice page is not a 2015 Scripps finding. Metal allergy is not telemetry. A 2025 Journal of Arthroplasty metal-hypersensitivity title (Shankar et al., DOI 10.1016/j.arth.2025.09.018) is a different author team — do not attribute it to him.

Endocrinology, authorizing provider on 2020 LH

Megan McGarvey, MD

On the record. Authorizing provider on Luteinizing Hormone collected 19 Oct 2020 (Session 634). A Blue Shield visits summary lists Megan Mcgarvey VIRTUAL 14 Oct 2020 and Megan Mcgarvey, SCRIPPS CLINIC MEDICAL GROUP, OUTPATIENT 28 Aug 2019. Staff, quoting her: she has not seen him in five years. The portal still prints Megan McGarvey, MD, as authorizing provider on a 3 Jan 2023 venous comprehensive metabolic panel at Scripps Lab, 9535 Waples St., 150, and on TSH and PSA (Surveillance) 16 Jan 2023. A list banner on that screen prints Result is from another organization. The insurer’s January 2023 visit rows name SCRIPPS CLINIC MED LABS / LABCORP ESOTERIX, not her. A 29–30 Sep 2025 portal thread: staff write yes, she did run tests in January 2023 for the thyroid; footer Megan McGarvey, MD: Out of office until 1/5/2026.

Not established. That she drew that 2023 blood, stood in the room, or approved remote collection from Cartagena. Authorizing provider is not a clinic visit. Testosterone suppression as a remote protocol. An out-of-office banner is not a finding she was hidden.

Portal correspondent

Kelli Karches, MD

On the record. Wrote, as Kelli Karches, MD FACE, that she last saw him in Aug 2017, saw no testosterone-suppression meds on his list, does not know a Dr. Sheean, and that another endocrine provider after her may have more details. A T4 Free collected 26 Aug 2019 2:34 PM prints her as authorizing provider, venous blood, Scripps Lab 9535 Waples St., 150. A results page lists her on SHBG collected 30 Sep 2016 10:28 AM on the same page as Geoffrey Sheean MD on vitamin B12 collected 13 Oct 2016 2:20 PM — same page, not the same day. PTH intact 43.9 and calcium 9.6 share the 30 Sep 2016 collection; authorizing provider on that block is cropped off.

Not established. That she drew the 2019 blood, or that Sheean’s 2016 lab label is therefore false in her own knowledge. Authorizing provider is not a visit. The conflict with Sheean-authorized faces is kept open.

Name on 13 Oct 2016 lab faces

Geoffrey Sheean, MD

On the record. Authorizing provider on homocysteine collected 13 Oct 2016 14:20 (E-635-02) and on catecholamines at the same timestamp (E-635-03). Vitamin B12 collected 13 Oct 2016 2:20 PM PDT on a results page that also lists Kelli Karches MD on SHBG from 30 Sep 2016. Catecholamines resulting lab prints CENTRAL LAB, 9535 Waples St., 150, San Diego CA 92121, Michael Quigley MD lab director, with ARUP as the performing lab. Same-day MTHFR crops do not print Sheean’s name. A Blue Shield visits summary lists 10/03/2016 Geoffrey Sheean, SCRIPPS CLINIC MEDICAL GROUP, OUTPATIENT.

Not established. That Hooman met him, attended that lab, or that the draw was remote. Karches later writes she does not know a Dr. Sheean. Both faces stay. An insurer outpatient row is not a finding they sat in a room together.

Name on Blue Shield Scripps Clinic Med Labs visit rows

Edward Sakas

On the record. Blue Shield visits summary prints Edward Sakas as provider on multiple SCRIPPS CLINIC MED LABS OUTPATIENT rows, including 09/06/2016 — the morning the portal clocks a testosterone / SHBG collection at 8:16 AM and the docket clocks a 9:00 AM jury trial. Other Sakas / Med Labs dates on that list include 09/30/2016 and 10/13/2016.

Not established. That he drew blood, met this patient, or that any of those rows were remote. A laboratory billed as the visit provider is not a clinic visit. Do not write remote phlebotomy from his name on an insurer row.

SCORE / Shiley Center — public research

Clifford W. Colwell Jr. / Darryl D. D’Lima

On the record. Colwell started the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery in 1977 as Head of the Division; SCORE director; founded the Lower Extremity Reconstruction Fellowship in 1984 as Director. Walker’s bio prints faculty guiding joint-replacement fellows for over 30 years. Current SCMG leadership lists William Bugbee, MD, as that fellowship’s program director. Fall 2004 Scripps Health Foundation update, as printed: the fellowship, under the joint direction of Richard Walker, M.D., and Clifford W. Colwell, Jr., M.D. Quote that sentence. Do not write Walker supervised Colwell. Principal investigator on clinical drug and device studies. Named among Stryker principal investigators on a Trident ceramic acetabular acknowledgements page. Co-author with Walker on Ceramic Liner Fracture and Impingement in Total Hip Arthroplasty, HSS Journal, published online 21 October 2014: methods name Trident PSL / Super Secur-Fit Plus / Biolox; Colwell reports Stryker research support outside the work; Walker declared no conflict of interest. The paper does not name which of the five authors was the single surgeon of that 169-patient series. Padres team physician — 15 years on one letterhead bio, about 25 on San Diego Foundation copy. The 14 February 2007 Padres contract names Jan Fronek as head team physician and Larry Harrison as CEO of Scripps Clinic; Walker and Colwell are not on that staff list. The Fall 2004 magazine names Fronek, Copp, and Heinecke on Phil Nevin’s surgery. D’Lima: SCORE laboratory director; STSI associate professor; NIH electronic-knee grant; 5 December 2024 NIH smart-shoulder grant. 7 March 2004 Scripps news: Colwell implanted the first e-knee into Jerry Ward, coil-activated, nearby computer. Fall 2004 magazine: Ward as named test pilot; “I guess I’m kind of like a lab rat,” says Ward; implanted February 27. 31 May 2011: more than 15 years of e-knee work; three additional patients; next-generation wear/infection/alarm printed as a goal. 22 September 2011: Donald McDonald one of four testers. 2008 Healio quotes D’Lima on remote on/off, collect, reprogram, and a hip-dislocation sensor as a vision. June 2012 JAAOS review (Ledet, D’Lima, Bergmann et al.): orthopaedic smart implants used exclusively as research tools; size <10 mm; electronics housed inside the implant; D’Lima unpaid consultant to Stryker and research support from Stryker. Co-author lines with Walker on hip papers from the 1990s into 2014. STSI campus copy, founded 2006, names wireless medical technology for health monitoring. Walker is named SCMG president by 25 January 2017; Colwell and D’Lima remain on SCORE copy after that date, including D’Lima’s 2024 NIH smart-shoulder grant. Same campus during that presidency is overlap, not an employee org chart.

Not established. That either man operated on Hooman or that his 2015/2017 Stryker parts were investigational SCORE devices. Do not write that they worked “under” Walker — Colwell founded the division Walker later joined. A 2008 hip-sensor vision is not his implant card. A 2012 exclusive-research-tools review is not his implant card. A 2011 next-generation alarm is a goal, not a shipped hip. A Trident investigator list and a 2014 ceramic-fracture series on the same product family are not electronics in the shell. Four named e-knee testers are not a fifth unnamed hip patient. Walker’s 2025 sentences say they were not investigational.

Manufacturer named on staff implant lists

Stryker Corporation

On the record. Staff lists name conventional Trident PSL HA / Secur-Fit / Biolox for the 2015 and 2017 operations. Public manufacturer record, different products: Rejuvenate Modular-Neck and ABG II Modular-Neck settlements around 3 November 2014 (~$1.43 billion low end) and a second program printed 22 May 2017 (~$2.0–$2.2 billion, revision before 19 December 2016); OtisMed and CEO Charlie Chi pleaded guilty 8 December 2014 over FDA-rejected knee cutting guides, more than $80 million; Stryker Biotech pleaded 18 January 2012 to one misdemeanor misbranding over OP-1, $15 million, felonies dismissed; SEC FCPA books-and-records 24 October 2013 (~$13.28 million) and 28 September 2018 ($7.8 million, Marc P. Berger quote). 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement in the industry consulting investigation, no fine on that NPA. 4 May 2023 disclosure of a potential FCPA investigation is an investigation, not a finding.

Not established. That Rejuvenate, ABG II, OtisKnee, or OP-1 was in these two hips. That Walker took a kickback. That books-and-records failures are off-label electronics in a Trident shell. A 2008 class-action complaint alleging phony consulting agreements is a complaint, not a verdict.

UCSD immunology; Transgenics / Cosmo Bioscience — public docket

Maurizio Zanetti

On the record. Public court copy: professor of medicine at UCSD; laboratory of immunology at Moores; patents assigned under university policy; Transgenics incorporated in anticipation of a Purdue deal; Cosmo later purchased that vehicle and renamed it Cosmo Bioscience. Gerloni v. Zanetti is a real caption. A federal court rejected Gerloni’s claim that she co-invented the patents. The California appeal (D059695, Super. Ct. GIC868327) was affirmed 1 February 2013, unpublished under rule 8.1115. Short holding: derivative, no standing as a non-shareholder; contract and fraud counts failed on deposition. Nature, 13 February 1997, reported a UCSD misconduct charge including human-experiment and biosafety-policy allegations, dual faculty panels, and a DOJ-intervened whistleblower suit. A Cosmo securities note describes Cosmo Bioscience, Inc. et al. v. Adamis and Zanetti, filed May 2010. A laboratory page prints him as Director of the Laboratory of Immunology at UCSD Moores Cancer Center. A 2021 Gleiberman Head and Neck Cancer Center Pilot Grant names Maurizio Zanetti, MD, on a study of antitumor B-cell immunity in HNSC. Moores’ Pilot Grant Awardees page lists that title as Gleiberman 2021 Project 3 on the same directory whose first heading is Curebound/Padres Pedal the Cause Grants. Curebound is not printed on the Gleiberman PDF. UCSD Profiles: NIH R01HD025787, Engineered CD4-like antibodies in neonatal HIV infection, PI 2 May 1990 – 30 April 1993. C3 (2013) members are Moores, Salk, and Sanford-Burnham; Scripps Research is named as a neighboring collaborator, not a C3 member.

Not established. That he dated Ommid, met Farideh to plan Iranian trials, or used the Gerloni litigation as a shield for Padtan Elm or Iranome. Those are his account. That unconsented human trials occurred — Nature reported allegations, not a verdict; the later opinion recites a tenure-committee exoneration. A public cancer-vaccine docket is not a finding about a 2013 share meeting in Tehran. This site does not retry him as guilty on the 1997 news item. That Curebound granted the Gleiberman pilot. That Ommid sat in that lab. Fundraising to Moores is not enrollment. Director “since 1987” is not on the laboratory page in this file. A 1998 UCSD patent release and the numbers US5,348,878 / US6,168,793 are not independently verified here.

Postdoctoral fellow in Zanetti’s lab; later CBI CEO — public docket and directory snippet

Mara Gerloni

On the record. Joined Zanetti’s UCSD laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow in 1993. Sued in state court in 2006. Filed a federal patent suit. The federal court held she had not proven co-inventorship. Summary judgment for Zanetti was affirmed on appeal 1 February 2013, unpublished (D059695). Short holding: she lacked standing as a non-shareholder; individual contract and fraud counts were tied to promises she could not recall in deposition. The same opinion recites that in 2005 she left UCSD to become Cosmo Bioscience’s chief executive officer. A ResearchGate snippet still prints CEO at Cosmo Bioscience. An image result captions her with Cosmo Pharmaceuticals NV — a related public name, not proof the two Cosmo vehicles are one legal entity.

Not established. That the suit was a false allegation arranged with Ommid to tie up patents, or that a “memory lapse” was a strategy. Deposition contradictions are what the appellate court recited and treated as fatal to remaining counts. They are not a finding that she was a cut-out for Iranian work.

Public San Diego biotech founder — Hybritech, Nanogen; participated in Illumina 1998

Howard C. Birndorf

On the record. Co-founded Hybritech with Ivor Royston in 1978. New York Times, 18 August 1996: Johnny Appleseed of a biotechnology forest; Nanogen chip diagnostics. UCSD oral-history biography: later companies include Gen-Probe, IDEC, Ligand, Neurocrine, Nanogen (co-founder, CEO/chairman into 2009), and participation in Illumina Inc. (1998). Iranome’s FAQ names Illumina sequencers. That is platform overlap, not a personnel page.

Not established. A 1999 wedding, a personal friendship with Hooman, a $3 million introduction of Norman Achen, or that Birndorf connected Iranome to Illumina. Those are his account. Texts and calls are not mounted.

WWII POW; later Hyland Labs president — public biography

Norman W. Achen

On the record. U.S. Army Air Forces, shot down about 15 August 1944, German POW until May 1945. Later president of Hyland Laboratories and other California medical companies; attorney and judge in later accounts. Died 2010.

Not established. Founding Fisher Scientific, an IMDP / Las Vegas partnership with Hooman, or a meeting with Farideh Kavesh. Independent search did not show the Fisher founding. The $3 million Birndorf introduction is his account.

Roche pRED Global Portfolio and Program Manager, Basel — public listing

Leonardo Lauciello

On the record. Public workshop copy names him Global Portfolio and Program Manager at Roche pRED (pharma research and early development), Basel. Portfolio and business-development teaching fits that shop.

Not established. That he signed a 2016 PTELM / Padtan Elm license, or that Roche paid a family vehicle. Dollar figures from the warehouse licensing dump stay holdback. PTELM has no public Zurich register page in this investigation.

Former spouse; wealth management — public career

Carolin Manuela Botzenhardt

On the record. Public marriage listing: Hooman Ali Asbaghi and Carolin Manuela Botzenhardt had their marriage certificate recorded in Clark County, Nevada, 16 October 1990. The number sits under the still. Daily Pilot / Los Angeles Times, 22 June 2005: vice president of Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management’s German American business group, Costa Mesa. InvestmentNews, 8 August 2022: five years at Wells Fargo Advisors, then UBS Private Wealth Management in La Jolla; fifteen years at Deutsche Bank Securities. SmartAdvisorMatch: CRD#3186184, Series 65/66. La Jolla Light, 9 September 2009: named on the MCASD board for 2009–10. A Concert for Cures host-committee graphic prints her name on the same face as Ommid Asbaghi.

Not established. That she transferred funds to Iran, interfered with a Wells Fargo account after Nydegger, served as a connector for Padtan Elm, or that her UBS clients are Iranome. Deutsche Bank’s 2015 Iran-sanctions penalty is a public enforcement action against the bank. It does not name her. Private wealth is not the dollar-clearing desk in that order. Overlap of employer and years is overlap. A divorce decree is not in this folder — early-2000s divorce is his account. Simultaneous Wells Fargo and UBS after 2016 is inaccurate; the 2022 press has her joining UBS then. Circulating memos that start Wells Fargo in 2010 conflict with InvestmentNews; the press face wins.

Public Tehran clinical laboratory (path-lab.ir)

Pathobiology Laboratory Center

On the record. Live site path-lab.ir from at least Wayback 21 January 2022. Register name آزمایشگاه مرکزی پاتوبیولوژی, register 13884, national ID 10100524000, founded 1349/02/05 (printed as 56 years). Self-copy: one of the largest and most equipped medical laboratories in the country. Official gazette 1402/08/22 of board minutes 1402/06/29: Farideh Kavesh نایب رئیس هیئت مدیره و مدیرعامل through 1404/06/29; Seyed Mehdi Moghimi رئیس هیئت مدیره. Same titles already on minutes 1400/04/15 / gazette 1400/08/16. Same person is vice-chair of Padtan Elm (register 127180) through 1404/08/17. Building directory names DR. A.R. KOROURIAN M.D. and DR. M.GEROWGAN ph.D & M.D.; the live physicians table names علیرضا کروریان مسئول کنترل کیفیت. Padtan Elm gazette names Karourian chair. Wet-ink ISO 9001 QMS in the laboratory’s name: BSI FS 562375 (UK, originally registered 11 August 2010, clinical and surgical laboratory); TÜV NORD CERT / DAkkS EN ISO 9001:2008 (13 December 2014); TÜV NORD Iran / NACI ISIRI-ISO 9001-1388 (25 December 2014); TÜV NORD CERT ISO 9001:2015 upgrade (30 November 2017, different street); TÜV AUSTRIA EN ISO 9001:2015 (Vienna 28 November 2020) with printed scope “Clinical Laboratory and Pathology Services,” certificate 20100203008702. A 694-test QMS catalog (last review 1402/03/22, header certificate 20152202009708) includes MTHFR (A1298C) DNA and MTHFR (C677T) DNA Real-Time PCR. Keep both TÜV AUSTRIA numbers. RIQAS participation certificates name the laboratory for 2017 immunoassay, 2017 human urine, 2023 immunoassay, and six 2024 programmes (clinical chemistry, coagulation, haematology, glycated haemoglobin, immunoassay, maternal screening). Public menu pages name both MTHFR variants and compound heterozygote. Contracted-provider logo grid includes Central Bank of Iran, Armed Forces medical services, Iran Air, Social Security, major banks, oil, and copper. Padtan Elm’s Farsi Rasmio dump already graph-links Central Pathobiology Laboratory as supporting network.

Not established. That she is board chair — Moghimi is رئیس هیئت مدیره. That she still holds CEO after 1404/06/29 (~20 September 2025); Rasmio still printed that slate in September 2026. A Ministry thanks plaque addresses the head of this laboratory as عالم حکیم, which is not the string فریده کاوش — keep that face next to the gazette. That ISO 9001 is ISO 15189, CAP, or CLIA — it is a quality-management-system certificate, not medical-laboratory competence accreditation. That this laboratory ran Hooman’s 13 October 2016 Scripps MTHFR. Assay-name overlap is overlap. His draw is 2016; the C677T listing prints created ~23 January 2022. 2026 is a capture/discovery date, not a founding date. Logo tiles are contracted lab-insurance listings, not illicit finance. That Iran drawings in a Scripps portal came from here — that wait is the Scripps packet. That laboratory titles prove she appointed Padtan board members as subordinates, or that two 25% founder lines are a finding of 50% voting control.

Padtan Elm board chair; Pathobiology Quality Control Manager

Alireza Karourian / A.R. Korourian / علیرضا کروریان

On the record. Building directory at Pathobiology Laboratory Center: DR. A.R. KOROURIAN M.D. / دکتر کروریان. Live path-lab.ir physicians table, row 4: دکتر علیرضا کروریان, پاتولوژیست آناتومیکال و کلینیکال, مسئول کنترل کیفیت. Padtan Elm gazette 1402/09/29 of minutes 1402/08/17: رئیس هیئت مدیره through 1404/08/17. Same name already chairs on Docs23 (1400/02/21) and is the named receiving agent on the 2018 ELISA purchase. On the 1397/7/15 Padtan attendance list. Plate spelling KOROURIAN; minutes on this site used Karourian. Keep both. Person national IDs held off.

Not established. That Farideh seated him on the Padtan board because he reports to her at the laboratory. The 1400/02/21 Padtan board election is dated before the earliest Pathobiology CEO gazette mounted here. A website QC title is not an employment contract. Transliteration is not a national-ID match printed on this site.

Pathobiology Laboratory Center board member; named on the building directory

Mohammad Gerowgan / محمد کروگان / دکتر گروگان

On the record. Building directory: دکتر گروگان / DR. M.GEROWGAN ph.D & M.D. Pathobiology gazette 1402/08/22 of minutes 1402/06/29: محمد کروگان عضو هیئت مدیره, with Farideh vice-chair and CEO and Moghimi chair. Same slate already on minutes 1400/04/15. Plate گروگان and gazette کروگان are kept as printed.

Not established. That he sits on the Padtan Elm board — he is not on the current Padtan officer table. That he is on the live physicians table — he is not. That the plate and the gazette are a national-ID match. Person national IDs held off.

Journalist (context)

Sofia Almeida

On the record. Two Medium pieces exist: Stolen Legacy (11 Feb 2026) and The Smart Hip Experiment (27 May 2026). They are secondary. This site does not republish them as evidence.

Not established. Judicial findings. Roche dollar figures stay holdback until source contract pages are mounted.

Former AT&T Del Mar Highlands employee; witness

Saqvan Ali

On the record. 13 February 2020 Gmail to Hooman is the first recorded outreach in this warehouse: June 24 2018, Kameron Panahi present, sister asked them to delete an iCloud, they refused. Signed statement 26 March 2024. California-notarized declaration 19 June 2026, Savannah Stackhouse COMM. #2516436, San Diego County. 2026 employment face: Customer Service Representative, AT&T Mobility, January 2017–March 2021, Del Mar Highlands / Del Mar Heights. He says he called ethics/hotline about ten to fifteen times, was told to stay away, took a final warning for alleged insubordination, and left March 2021.

Not established. A court finding, AT&T’s admission, or copies of those ethics reports — he says they were on company equipment returned at separation. 2024 “assistant manager / started March 2018 / met July 2018” conflicts with the 2026 CSR window. Phantom Secure and Anom are 2024 wording, not independently verified, not in 2026. Date of birth held off. Not a LinkedIn still of Saqvan in this warehouse.

AT&T Retail Store Manager, Del Mar, Jun 2017–Jan 2019 — public LinkedIn

John Goodrich

On the record. LinkedIn stills in this warehouse: Retail Store Manager, Del Mar, California, June 2017–January 2019; Assistant Store Manager October 2015–May 2017. Named in Saqvan’s 2024 statement and 2026 declaration as former Del Mar store manager. Saqvan attributes to him, in 2018, words substantially similar to “Hooman's not crazy. These crazy ass people track him all day. I wonder why.”

Not established. That he spoke those words — that is Saqvan’s. That he collected SIM receipts or passed a name list. A Del Mar manager title in those years is not a finding of tracking. Later BradyPLUS title is career aftermath, not this case.

AT&T Area Retail Sales Manager, San Diego / Chula Vista, Jul 2014–Mar 2025 — public LinkedIn

Jesus M. Barraza

On the record. LinkedIn stills: Jesus M. Barraza, MBA, Chula Vista; Area Retail Sales Manager July 2014–March 2025 for company-owned and authorized retail, seventeen AT&T distribution points. Named in Saqvan’s 2024 statement as a district manager who received SIM-card receipts, and in the 2026 declaration as District Manager who told Saqvan to stay away from matters involving Hooman.

Not established. That he ordered surveillance, account access, or SIM duplication. These stills do not print Del Mar Highlands by name. Area Retail Sales Manager and District Manager are two wordings for a regional seat — keep both. Not a finding of wrongdoing.

General Manager, Park Laurel, Nov 2014–Mar 2022 — public LinkedIn; named on the 2018 docket

Ryan Figley

On the record. LinkedIn stills: General Manager, Park Laurel, November 2014–March 2022, Action Property Management; capital projects as printed (six elevators, roof air handlers, pool deck, exterior paint). Named on the UniCourt docket as the declarant of a 19 June 2018 declaration in support of the association’s opposition to Hooman’s ex parte TRO. A 11 February 2019 HOA letter prints “the return of Ryan Figley as the General Manager,” first day back 12 February. Assistant General Manager November 2013–January 2015 on the same LinkedIn still is The Infinity Owners Association, not Park Laurel.

Not established. That he entered an apartment unannounced on 11 June 2018, fitted a unit with devices, forwarded a mailbox, or that the listed capital projects were that work. LinkedIn does not print fiber optics. A declaration in opposition is not an admission. The February 2019 letter is a return after Rupel’s resignation, not a finding he was installed to resume hacking. An HAA Enterprises folder on an office computer is recall — not in this warehouse. Not a finding he caused Jeremy Rupel’s death.

General Manager, Park Laurel, on association letterhead 2018–19; died 20 Aug 2020

Jeremy Hunter Rupel

On the record. 3 October 2018 HOA letter: Jeremy Rupel, CMCA, General Manager, Park Laurel Owners Association. February 2019 HOA letter: he resigned so he could care for family for an undetermined time; Action would look to welcome him back. Official obituary: 27 July 1984 – 20 August 2020, passed away suddenly at 36 in Springfield, Missouri; property manager for over a decade at Park Laurel; relocated to be with his recovering father after a 2018 accident that took his mother. Walnut Lawn still lists those dates. Hooman Asbaghi posted on the tribute wall 7 April 2025 — that writing exists.

Not established. That he admitted surveillance or an apartment retrofit to Hooman — we do not have Jeremy’s words. That he was going to testify. That he was fired for coming clean — the association letter is a family resignation and a welcome-back. That his death was homicide or related to the 2018 caption. A mundane death remains possible. The obituary prints a recovered father, not a continuing coma. Eighteen months sit between the February 2019 letter and 20 August 2020. No independent public page dated the resignation beyond that letter.

Defendant, 2018 caption; condominium association at 2500 Sixth Ave

Park Laurel Owners Association

On the record. Public building at 2500 Sixth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103. Hooman Asbaghi vs Park Laurel Owners Association, filed 11 June 2018, San Diego Superior Court, Judge Timothy Taylor, dismissed without prejudice 27 July 2018 at the plaintiff’s request. Association letters in this warehouse are signed through Action Property Management (Matthew Holbrook on the February 2019 GM update).

Not established. That the association operated a forwarding mailbox, retrofitted a unit, or caused a death. A caption is not a finding. Unit numbers stay off this site until a dedicated address file. Association phone numbers are held off the public rasters.

Addressee on the 1 Dec 2022 ICQ-global letter

Janis Laincsek

On the record. Named as To: janis.laincsek@icqglobal.hu on Hooman’s 1 December 2022 letter about Farideh.kavesh@icloud.com sitting as a folder on his Proton with username ommid-farideh. That mailbox file is one window.

Not established. That he ran software, answered, or represented ICQ. A letter to an address is not a finding against the addressee.

Outer forward on the 1 Dec 2022 letter; PAAIA first leader on PAAIA’s own paper

Babak Hoghooghi

On the record. Named as the 23:52 outer forward of Hooman’s 1 December 2022 letter about Farideh’s iCloud sitting on Proton. That writing exists. ProtonMail Contacts at clock 19:47 printed Hoghooghi / bhoghooghi@bcr-dc.com many times on one list — that phone-anomaly face is a separate window. A 19 May 2009 PAAIA event notice names Babak Hoghooghi as PAAIA Executive Director; a companion still captions Sherry Bahrambeygui as a board member. Ommid Asbaghi is not named on that face. PAAIA’s 11 September 2009 release prints that he had been leading PAAIA since its inception in August 2007 and calls him the organization’s first leader; he was stepping down as Executive Director at the end of 2009. IABA’s live biography prints him as one of four founding members and first President beginning in 2000, with an OFAC / DOJ sanctions practice. A 16 February 2025 Proton still is his email to Hoghooghi; the denied-knowing / backtrack sentence is Hooman’s. A dcbar.org complaint form under his typing recites an introduction to investigate theft of shares and $400,000 as written. A complaint was sent.

Not established. That he ran software, answered, cloned a contacts list, or committed misconduct. A forwarded letter is not a finding. A repeating Contacts row is not a finding he wrote the address book. A bar email or form is “a complaint was sent,” not a finding of discipline. That he denied knowing Ommid or Sherry, or recanted as to Sherry — that is Hooman’s 16 February 2025 sentence until Babak’s own reply is mounted. Iranome negotiation, TEVA desks, and osteoporosis causation stay alleged. That he is Farideh Kavesh’s lawyer, or a mediator between Hooman and Farideh, until an engagement letter or a thread that names that role is mounted. First leader / since inception is not a finding he founded PAAIA as a personal vehicle. The live IABA page does not print a PAAIA founding-board paragraph.

Named on PAAIA, Curebound, and a 2019 PriceSmart CEO release

Sherry Bahrambeygui

On the record. A 19 May 2009 PAAIA photograph captions Sherry Bahrambeygui; the investigator footer calls her a PAAIA board member. PriceSmart, 31 January 2019: named Chief Executive Officer; director since November 2011; Vice Chair October 2016 to October 2017. IAWF biography: President of The Price Group, LLC; PriceSmart director who chairs that company’s compensation committee and sits on its Executive, Nominating/Governance, and Real Estate committees; IA-100/PAAIA Fund executive committee. PAAIA, 2 April 2014: among eight Iranian Americans awarded the 2014 Ellis Island Medal of Honor; Congressional Record lists Sherry S. Bahrambeygui. UC San Diego Foundation trustee biography prints UC San Diego, class of 1986. Fall 2018 La Jolla Country Day School magazine: Sherry Bahrambeygui-Hosey ’82 and Patrick Hosey in the Louise Balmer Leadership Society; Ommid Asbaghi in the Wisteria Cottage Society. She currently sits on the same UCSD Foundation trustee list as Laurie Black. A 2022 gallery filename names her with Ommid Asbaghi and Carolin Botzenhardt. Curebound donor drive, 13 August 2025: Sherry Bahrambeygui $5,000 at 6:15 AM, same calendar day as Ommid Asbaghi $50. FoundationSearch archive snippet names her with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego as a donee.

Not established. COO — that title is not on the 2019 release. An Iranian biotech fund. That she sat on the MCASD board — the public 2009 trustee list names Carolin Botzenhardt; Sherry’s MCASD paper in this file is a donor snippet. That she chairs IAWF’s compensation committee — the IAWF bio assigns that chair to PriceSmart. A PAAIA X/Twitter congratulations on the CEO appointment was not found. That she sat in Zanetti’s lab or selected a surgeon. A CEO appointment and a donor row are not findings about the hips.

UCSD Foundation trustee; former San Diego Port Commissioner — public résumé

Laurie Black

On the record. UC San Diego Foundation trustee biography: president and CEO of LJ Black Consulting; president of RS Lawrence Development; past president of the Downtown San Diego Partnership; chief of staff for Congresswoman Lynn Schenk; Civic San Diego / CCDC board 2010–2012; San Diego Port Commissioner 2007–2009 (Voice of San Diego, 5 June 2007). Nine years on the Board of Overseers. Trustee since 2016. 4 November 2012: Moores named her Extraordinary Caregiver of the Year. She currently sits on the same UCSD Foundation trustee list as Sherry Bahrambeygui. A 2019 campaign brunch lists “Home of Laurie Black & Stephen Skinner.”

Not established. A numbered Park Laurel unit. That her internet was tied to his. Cameras in his rooms. A 2016 conversation about herbal therapies or sons visiting Iran. A public connection to Ommid Asbaghi. That Stephen Skinner is a cyber-security expert — public pages describe an Australian magician and author. Same-building is his account until occupancy paper is mounted. A trustee list and a caregiver award are not findings about the hips.

Public GitHub author of hooman

sayem314 / Sayem Chowdhury

On the record. Owner of github.com/sayem314/hooman, created 3 May 2020. Published description: http interceptor to hoomanize cloudflare requests. On a Telegram still he answers Hooman and dates a prior contact to early 2023, medical and government issues. That GitHub file is one window.

Not established. That he named the package for this Hooman, built it for this family, or ran it against anyone named here. A public scraper library is not a finding of targeting. His reply is not a finding he participated in a program.
