In a groundbreaking legal move, the UK High Court of Justice has accepted a cross-complaint from billionaire media executive Alkiviades “Alki” David, a maneuver that may reveal extensive alleged corruption within the realms of law, media, and corporate governance. Registered under Claim No. KB-2025-001991, this case is set for a hearing on July 25, 2025, at the Royal Courts of Justice, with Registrar Benjamin Power confirming the filing today. Supporters of David describe the upcoming event as a pivotal confrontation against "the machinery of modern legal oppression."
Billionaire Media Executive's Cross-Complaint Could Illuminate Legal and Media Corruption

Billionaire Media Executive's Cross-Complaint Could Illuminate Legal and Media Corruption
A recent high-profile cross-complaint filed by Alkiviades “Alki” David could expose a massive network of corruption involving legal and media entities in the U.K.
New Revelations Shake Legal Foundations
Included in the cross-complaint are explosive new findings that have reverberated throughout legal circles. The extensive 27-page document features encrypted text messages recovered from the late attorney Barry K. Rothman, who died under unclear circumstances in 2018. These messages purportedly illustrate collusion among Rothman, prominent law firms, and influential attorneys aimed at discrediting and silencing David. Moreover, multiple sworn affidavits from former witnesses who have entirely rescinded their previous statements allege manipulation, coercion, or bribery to testify against David, directly implicating well-known figures such as Tom Girardi, David Boies, and Gloria Allred.
David asserts that Rothman was intent on helping to unveil a widespread network of corruption before his untimely death, and contends that evidence has been strategically obscured by firms like Glaser Weil LLP.
Affidavits Expose Systemic Misconduct
Additional affidavits incorporated into the cross-complaint depict systemic abuses within the justice system:
- James C. Bohm, Esq., alleges that exculpatory evidence was concealed.
- Carl Dawson, a former executive at FOTV, speaks of sabotage and telecom interference.
- Yelena Calendar raises claims of fraudulent appellate rulings in U.S. courts.
- Gary Shoefield sheds light on media manipulation and judicial bribery.
These testimonies now form part of the official court records to be scrutinized during the upcoming July hearing.
A Broader Crusade Against Institutional Corruption
David contends that his legal battle transcends a single lawsuit, framing it as a crucial confrontation against what he terms a “modern-day crime syndicate.” This coalition of lawyers, media conglomerates, and judicial actors, he claims, has abused the legal system to usurp estates, undermine innovators, and pursue whistleblowers under the pretext of justice. In his filings and public statements, David connects this alleged network to notable cases involving the Michael Jackson estate and Beatles intellectual property, implying widespread exploitation of legal mechanisms for gain.
Looking Ahead: The Upcoming Hearing
Scheduled to represent himself, David is preparing to present the newly uncovered evidence before the High Court later this month. The decision delivered on July 25 could pave the way for a comprehensive investigation into the individuals and entities noted in the complaint.
Public Support Gains Momentum Online
As this case gathers media attention, public advocacy is intensifying across social media platforms. Advocacy sites like http://www.cbsyousuck.com are mobilizing support, calling for transparency and urging the general public to examine the court documents and evaluate the evidence independently. In the words of David’s team, “This is no longer a cover-up. This is accountability in motion.”
