A random person name Deane Ewing a convict who is posting under the name of Superboy on anon boards decided to randomly pick me
and write horrific things about me and my family. I am in the process of filing and a law suit against him and I have reported him to the FBI
as I have been receiving death threats. He has also posted a link to a fraudulent gofundme campaign and is using it to scam people.
I also reported the campaign as fraud.
Please remove this I have reported it to the moderator of anon boards along with 20 other people and they will not take it down.
Here is the post on anon boards.
