Complaint for Harassment and Abuse of Process
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
JOHN BARRON, Plaintiff, Case No.: 26-CV-0211
v. COMPLAINT
JOHN DOE, d/b/a "Covid was a Hoax," Defendant. JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
I. Parties
Plaintiff John Barron is an individual and resident of Palm Beach, Florida.
Defendant, whose legal identity is currently unknown, is a user of the website xoxohth.com (hereinafter "the Platform") operating under the pseudonym "Covid was a Hoax."
II. Jurisdiction and Venue
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332, as there is diversity of citizenship and the matter in controversy exceeds $75,000.
Venue is proper in the Southern District of New York under 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) as the Platform is a widely accessed digital forum that conducts business and impacts individuals within this district.
III. Factual Allegations
On February 11, 2026, at 7:09 PM, Defendant published a public statement on the Platform: "nothing can wipe out lawmaxxing."
The Platform, xoxohth.com, is an anonymous message board frequently used by members of the legal profession to discuss litigation, law school, and legal strategy.
The term "lawmaxxing" is a colloquialism within digital subcultures referring to the aggressive or exhaustive utilization of legal procedures to achieve a desired social or professional result.
Plaintiff alleges that the publication of this statement on a legal-centric forum constitutes a call to action for users to engage in coordinated legal harassment against the Plaintiff.
Defendant’s username, "Covid was a Hoax," indicates a history of disseminating contrarian viewpoints, suggesting the post was intended to incite disruption.
IV. Cause of Action: Tortious Interference
Plaintiff incorporates the allegations in paragraphs 1 through 9.
Defendant’s public advocacy for "lawmaxxing" on a legal industry forum is an intentional effort to interfere with Plaintiff's legal interests and professional reputation.
Plaintiff has incurred and will continue to incur damages, including legal fees and reputational harm, as a direct result of these communications.
V. Prayer for Relief
Plaintiff requests the following:
Entry of a preliminary and permanent injunction restraining Defendant from further communications inciting legal action against the Plaintiff on the Platform.
Award of compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
Award of costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
