In a single, high‑stakes motion before U.S. District Judge Sean D. Jordan, media entrepreneur Alki David has called for the preservation of an unprecedented breadth of digital evidence that stretches from cloud platforms to corporate advertising networks. The request – an "Emergency Preservation Order" – covers records, metadata, cloud logs, chain‑of‑custody chains and communication trails that could be deleted or lost before a formal discovery process begins.
Central to the motion is a hand‑drawn investigative relationship map that names a dizzying roster of figures and organisations: Sean “Diddy” Combs, David Boies, NXIVM leaders, Universal Music Group, CBS, and a host of financial intermediaries such as Bill Ackman. The exhibit makes it clear that the aim is preservation, not liability determination.
"Preserve first. Investigate second." The filing argues that forensic artefacts built by the cloud and preserved by chain‑of‑custody protocols carry far more evidentiary value than raw data. Without their careful preservation, the truth could evaporate.
David’s request does not stop at Dallas. It reaches into the Antigua King’s Bench, the Privy Council and cross‑border data pathways that link Texas and Caribbean jurisdictions. The filing even mentions the late attorneys Mark J. Lieberman and Aaron Cain McKnight as potential witnesses in a “Dallas‑related witness and evidence pathway.”
For years, David has posted evidence leads on Shockya and his open‑access site, CBSYOUSUCK.com. He argues that the same platforms that host entertainment content also store incriminating data for the companies involved. If these records survive, the evidence can be scrutinised. If they vanish, any defence collapses.
Judge Jordan has not yet ruled. The allegations remain unproven, but the decision on preservation could set a precedent for how major brands claim their right to digital data integrity.
