Witnesses Emerge in Antigua’s $1 Trillion Media Corruption Case
By Grady Owen – Quanta Report Investigations
The Growing Case
Public filings in the High Court of Justice of Antigua & Barbuda have unveiled additional witnesses in a legal battle claiming systemic corruption in the global media landscape. Television personality Rovier Carrington has made a second sworn declaration, accompanied by a video statement that has been verified by SwissX Legal.
Newly identified witness Daniel Jackson, formerly known as John Doe, has also submitted a declaration that supports Carrington’s allegations, which span decades of alleged manipulation and misconduct in the entertainment sector.
Allegations of Exploitation
The court records indicate that both Carrington and Jackson are detailing a troubling pattern of grooming and retaliation within various entertainment networks. The statements, made under penalty of perjury, have elicited a review for potential criminal referrals while remaining allegations awaiting judicial evaluation.
From Damages to a Trillion-Dollar Claim
The case has evolved from an initial $10 billion default judgment to claims of more than $1 trillion in damages. Recent amendments include allegations of a global monopoly involving substantial financial institutions, which are, at this stage, untested in court.
Corporate Dynamics and Media Oversight
The lawsuit highlights the irony in CBS's support of the Me Too movement against the backdrop of internal practices allegedly exploiting content distribution networks. The legacies of powerful media figures like Brad Grey and Brian Graden are examined, suggesting their influence fostered a climate conducive to silence regarding abuse within the industry.
Law Enforcement Collaboration
Ongoing cooperation between Antigua's Royal Police Force and London's Metropolitan Police Service is aimed at authentication and evidence gathering as the case progresses. Upcoming hearings will see further discussions regarding the allegations, with critical dates marked in the court calendar.
As these developments unfold, the Attorney General of Antigua, Hon. Steadroy ‘Cutie’ Benjamin, has been appointed as amicus curiae to advise on legal matters of sovereignty and due process.
