The Record

The Hooman Asbaghi Case

File 03

The Network

A sister appears on public fundraising pages. The hospital sits in a research neighborhood that published instrumented implants. He says he has been monitored. Those are three different strengths of claim. They are not fused into one finding.

Documented as press

Philanthropy

Ommid S. Asbaghi is named in local coverage as a Padres Pedal / Bill’s Angels co-captain. Curebound lists Scripps Research and UCSD Moores among the institutions it funds. That is a city network. It is not enrollment of her brother in a study.

Alleged · methods held

Monitoring

He says his sister has been hacking and watching him. Device-scan stills, pairing steps, and videos are not published here.

Sofia Almeida’s reporting treats the fundraising as a documented convergence and states that there is no public personal link to the orthopedic implant research. That distinction is kept here.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
