`
`
`MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
`
`Defendants move in limine for an order precluding the government from referring to
`
`any individuals as “victims” in front of the jury because such references eviscerate the
`
`Defendants’ presumption of innocence and are so unduly prejudicial that Defendants will
`
`be deprived of a fair trial.
`
`I.
`
`Background and Relevant Facts.
`
`Based on previous representations in its pleadings and before the Court, it is evident
`
`that the government intends to use the term “victim” in an indiscriminate manner in this
`
`case. See Nevarez Decl., Ex. A (Hrg. Mot. for Protective Order) at 15:18-19 (Ms. Feve
`
`stating that “under these allegations, the people who received the unsolicited e-mails were
`
`victims.”).
`
`Indeed, the government has expressly stated that legacy holders are victims of the
`
`alleged scheme. See, e.g., Dkt. No. 241 (Opp. to Defendants’ Mot. to Continue Trial) at
`
`7:21-22 (“The victim witnesses were allocated the netblocks at issue approximately 30
`
`years ago”) (emphasis added). However, during their testimony at a Rule 15 deposition,
`
`two holders of legacy netblocks identified in the government’s pleadings as “SAD” and
`
`“LWT”, gave contrasting testimony concerning their perceived effects of the alleged
`
`scheme. Notably, SAD confirmed that he did not own the netblock in question and that he
`
`told government investigators that he “was not the victim.” Nevarez Decl., Ex. B (SAD
`
`Dep.) at 101:16-1, 103:1-4 (“I wish to be removed as a victim from the witness list in this
`
`case. I am not the victim since I did not own the asset.”) (SAD recited the language in
`
`Defense Exhibit B, which is an email from SAD to a government investigator).
`
`
`
`Similarly, LWT stated that her company had received the netblock in question as a
`
`donation without paying anything, that her company did not use the netblock, and that she
`
`in fact did not even regard it as valuable. Nevarez Decl., Ex. C (LWT Dep.) at 34:23-35:3,
`
`35:13-17, 36:3-5, 38:22-39:11. LWT also affirmed that Company A’s use of the netblock
`
`in question did not affect LWT’s ability to sell the netblock, nor its monetary value. Id. at
`
`47:15-48:8.

`
`
`
`
`
`In its recent disclosure of expert witnesses, the government alluded to yet another
`
`category of victims – internet upstream providers such as internet hosting companies. See
`
`Dkt. No. 342. Accordingly, the government has indicated that it intends to put forth the
`
`following “expert” testimony:
` Michael Ward to testify that he denied announcing a netblock “to protect the
`integrity of the ViaWest network” (Dkt. No. 342 at 5:16-18);
` Ried Zulager to testify that he removed an announcement to “maintain the
`integrity and security of the Cogent network” (Id. at 6:5-7);
` Peter Holden to testify that Hostwinds removed blocklisted IP addresses “to
`protect the network’s integrity and security” (Id. at 6:17-20); and
` Sean Zadig to testify “how spam affects Yahoo’s business, how hijacked IPs
`affect Yahoo’s business, and Yahoo’s experience in 2013 and 2014 with spam
`
`sent by defendants’ then-employer.” (Id. at 4:12-16).
`
`The government moreover produced in discovery an email from Zadig where he reported
`
`costs associated with cleaning up Yahoo’s network from Company A’s purported
`
`commercial email. See Zadig email dated September 11, 2018.1
`
`II. The Court should preclude the government’s indiscriminate references to
`“victims” in front of the jury.
`
`The government has in the past identified a widespread cast of parties as “victims”.
`
`For instance, it has repeatedly and expressly referred to those individuals and entities that
`
`were assigned legacy IP addresses as “victims.” See, e.g., Dkt. No. 241 at 7:21-22 (“The
`
`victim witnesses were allocated the netblocks at issue approximately 30 years ago”); see
`
`also Nevarez Decl., Ex. D (Hrg. Mots. to Dismiss Indictment and for Bill of Particulars) at
`
`29:2-4 (Ms. Feve stating: “I think the most obvious victims are the individuals who were
`
`the registrants of these IP netblocks”). Elsewhere, and including in its expert disclosure,

`Case 3:18-cr-04683-GPC Document 358-1 Filed 03/24/22 PageID.5048 Page 5 of 11
`
`
`
`the government has suggested that internet hosting companies, like Hostwinds and Cogent,
`
`expert witnesses, and even Google and Yahoo, are also victims. See Dkt. No. 342; see also
`
`Nevarez Decl., Ex. D at 29:10-11 (Ms. Feve stating: “that is to say Gmail is a potential
`
`victim if you look at the statute”). And moreover, the government has also claimed that
`
`anyone who conceivably received a commercial email from Company A is also a victim.
`
`See Nevarez Decl., Ex. A at 15:18-19 (“under these allegations, the people who received
`
`the unsolicited e-mails were victims.”).
`
`These examples suggest it is probable that the government’s attorneys and fact and
`
`expert witnesses will characterize these individuals, or others like them, as “victims” before
`
`the jury. The Court should not allow use of that terminology. Giving the government carte
`
`blanche to call this exceedingly broad and diverse group of people “victims” is not only
`
`incorrect in this case, but it would also be unduly prejudicial to Defendants. Defendants
`
`should be judged based on the evidence of what they did and what they knew or intended,
`
`not based on how the government or witnesses characterize what occurred – which now
`
`apparently includes the remote and tenuous effects of Company A’s commercial emails on
`
`Yahoo.
`
`As an initial matter, the government’s use of the term “victim” at trial would turn the
`
`presumption of innocence on its head. At this stage, Defendants are merely accused of
`
`criminal conduct, not convicted of any crimes. For that reason, they are as a matter of law
`
`cloaked with the presumption of innocence. Using and re-iterating the term “victim”
`
`obliterates that presumption, and it carries with it the connotation that a crime has indeed
`
`occurred and the witness has been injured. See Adam J. MacLeod, All for One: A Review
`
`of Victim-Centric Justifications for Criminal Punishment, 13 Berkeley J. Crim. L. 31 (2008)
`
`(“Consequentialist reasoning provides a link between the harm suffered by a particular
`
`victim and the culpability of the perpetrator.”).
`
`It moreover suggests that there exists extra-judicial evidence that has persuaded the
`
`speaker – the government’s counsel or prosecution witnesses – to proclaim Defendants’
`
`guilt. The term “victim” further confers an aura of vulnerability and misfortune on the
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`individuals so characterized, thereby inserting an impermissible element of sympathy at
`
`trial.
`
`Use of this term is so prejudicial that the government has agreed to refrain from its
`
`use in other cases. See, e.g., United States v. Idaho Cnty. Light & Power Coop. Assoc., Inc.,
`
`2020 WL 1105091, at *7 (D. Ida. Mar. 6, 2020). Indeed, courts have even stricken the term
`
`from an indictment as irrelevant and prejudicial. See, e.g., United States v. Lalley, 2010 WL
`
`3946659, at *3-4 (D. N.J. Oct. 5, 2010) (granting defendant’s motion to strike the term
`
`“victim” from the indictment). Because use of the term “victim” will be unduly prejudicial
`
`to Defendants, will likely create bias against them, and will deprive them of a fair trial in
`
`violation of the Due Process Clause, this Court should preclude it. Instead, the Court should
`
`require the government and its witnesses to refer to those individuals by their names, by
`
`their initials, or with some other reference that accurately describes them without injecting
`
`the trial with unfair prejudice.
`
`Next, there is no evidence that the individuals and entities identified as “victims” by
`
`the government were actually victimized by Defendants. In sum, Defendants are accused
`
`of scheming to take and use decades-old IP addresses by submitting false documentation to
`
`send commercial emails on behalf of their uncharged employer. Defendants, however, are
`
`not accused of defrauding the holders of those legacy IP addresses. There is moreover no
`
`evidence that any of the putative “victims” even knew about the identity or existence of
`
`their “victimizers.” See, e.g., Nevarez Decl., Ex. C (LWT Dep.) at 29:16-30:12; Ex. B
`
`(SAD Dep.) at 51:21-52:8, 163:11-14; Ex. E (Thomas Conner Interview, October 27, 2014)
`
`at 1-2 (“CONNER believes that any and all claims to the IP blocks were relinquished in the
`
`sale of the company [in November 1999]”); Ex. F (Mike Durbin Interview, October 29,
`
`2015) at 1-3 (Durbin stated that when his company was acquired “all assets were transferred
`
`to OSAGE SYSTEMS GROUP, which would include the IP block” and that OSAGE went
`
`out of business in 2001); Ex. G (Rhonda Johnson Interview, February 24, 2012) at 2
`
`(reciting email by holder’s representative that “EDUCAUSE ha[d] not suffered significant
`
`monetary damage . . . other than staff response.”); Ex. H (Anne Gideon 302 Interview,

`
`
`
`February 18, 2021) at 1-2 (holder of legacy address “was sold to Haymarket Media and
`
`dissolved in 2003,” and Gideon was unsure “if the IP addresses were transferred to
`
`Haymarket when sold.”). And at least one of these holders of legacy addresses – SAD –
`
`continually reiterated that “he was not a victim.” See Ex. B (SAD Dep.) at 101:16-17,
`
`103:1-4.
`
`While the government alleges that Defendants created and sent purported false
`
`documents to internet hosting companies “fraudulently making it appear” that they were
`
`registrants of the IP addresses (see Dkt. No. 1, ¶ 6), there is no evidence that those
`
`companies sustained monetary losses because of handling such IP addresses. At most, the
`
`government’s discovery and pleadings disclose that these upstream providers sustained
`
`reputational harm or tenuous and incidental by-product of the alleged scheme. That is not
`
`enough for wire fraud charges enumerated in the indictment. See United States v. Yates, 16
`
`F.4th 256, 264 (9th Cir. 2021) (The “property deprivation must play more than some bit
`
`part in a scheme—the loss to the victim must be an ‘object of the fraud . . . .”); see also
`
`Kelly v. United States, 140 S. Ct. 1565, 1573-74 (2020) (holding that under the wire fraud
`
`statute, “[t]he loss to the victim must be an object of the fraud, not a mere implementation
`
`cost or incidental byproduct of the scheme.”).
`
`Based on the absence of any significant pecuniary loss, it is thus inappropriate to call
`
`any of these parties “victims” in this case. United States v. Yagar, 404 F.3d 967, 971 (6th
`
`Cir. 2005) (account holders were not victims and concluding that “where the monetary loss
`
`is short-lived and immediately covered by a third-party, we do not think that there has been
`
`‘actual loss’ or ‘pecuniary harm.’”).
`
`Finally, courts must preclude presentation of any evidence that is unduly prejudicial
`
`or likely to confuse the jurors under Rule 403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The same
`
`concerns about fairness that guide a court’s analysis on the admissibility of evidence under
`
`Rule 403 are applicable to references by prosecutors and witnesses to people as “victims,”
`
`and provide another basis for precluding them. Indeed, such references are unduly
`
`prejudicial and likely to confuse the jurors. The use of the term “victim” is a conclusion of

`
`
`
`fact that should be left to the jury. Use of the term by prosecutors and government witnesses
`
`would involve an unfair prejudging of the issues and would cause undue prejudice to
`
`Defendants’ right to a fair trial. See United States v. Marr, No. 14-CR-00580-PJH, 2017
`
`WL 1540815, at *11 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 28, 2017), aff’d sub nom. United States v. Sanchez,
`
`760 F. App’x 533 (9th Cir. 2019); see also Michael Conklin, Victim or Complaining
`
`Witness: The Difference Between Guilty and Not Guilty, 57 San Diego L. Rev. 423, 429
`
`(2020) (reporting on a series of surveys that showed a “significant effect” on the likelihood
`
`that respondents would find hypothetical defendant guilty when referring to a “female
`
`victim” versus a “female complaining witness”). Conversely, there is no reason the
`
`prosecutors and the witnesses cannot refer to the people by their names, initials, etc., such
`
`that the government can present its case while protecting the due process rights of the
`
`Defendants.
`
`III. Conclusion.
`
`For all the foregoing reasons, the Court should enter an order precluding the
`
`government and its witnesses from referring to any individuals as “victims.”
