7. Title VI, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., was enacted as part of the 
landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination on the 
basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities 
receiving federal financial assistance. 
8. U.S. Const. amend. IV states, in relevant parts, that “the right of 
the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, 
against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and 
no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath of 
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and 
the persons or things to be seized.  
9. U.S. Const. amend. V creates a number of rights relevant to both 
criminal and civil legal proceedings.  In civil legal proceedings it 
requires that “due process of law” be part of any proceeding that denies 
a citizen “life, liberty or property” and requires the government to 
compensate citizens when it takes private property for public use.   
10. 18 U.S. Code § 2340 prohibits torture committed by public 
officials under color of law against persons within the public official's 
custody or control. Torture is defined to include acts specifically 
intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering.

11. 28 U.S.C. §1346(b), §1402(b), §2401(b), and §§2671-2680 provides 
a limited waiver of the United States’ immunity from suit, allowing 
claims “for damages for injury or loss of property, or personal injury or 
death caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of any 
employee of the Government while acting within the scope of his office 
or employment, under circumstances where the United States, if a 
private person, would be liable to the claimant in accordance with the 
law of the place where the act or omission occurred.” 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b) 
CLAIM FOR VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY ACT 
12. Early in the morning on Thursday, March 26, 2020, the Senate 
passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the 
“CARES Act”).  On Friday, March 27, 2020, the House of 
Representatives also passed the CARES Act and President Trump 
quickly signed it into law the same day. 
13. Title I of the CARES Act was separately titled the Keep 
American Workers Paid and Employed Act. Perhaps the most impactful 
provision of the Act was the availability of Small Business Association 
(“SBA”) loans that may, under certain circumstances, have been 
converted into grants.  The goal of the Act was to provide capital to

otherwise underfunded businesses, including non-profit organizations, 
in an attempt to help those businesses retain employees on payroll, 
covered by healthcare insurance, and off of unemployment. 
14. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDL”) provided loans of up to 
$2 million with interest rates capped at 3.75% for companies and 2.75% 
for nonprofit organizations, with payment of principal and interest 
deferred for up to 4 years. These loans were permitted to be used to pay 
for expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred, 
including payroll and other operating expenses.  
15. In addition, a business that received an EIDL [ during the 
covered period ] as a result of a coronavirus related disaster declaration 
was eligible to apply for a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loan or 
the business may have refinanced their EIDL into a PPP Loan.  
16. Section 1110 of the CARES Act also loosened credit standards for 
borrowers eligible to apply for PPP Loans.  For instance, the SBA may 
have approved PPP Loans based solely on the applicant’s credit score, 
without requiring submission of tax returns, or used alternative 
appropriate methods of determining ability to repay.

17.  To obtain a loan via COVID EIDL, small business owners must 
have met the eligibility requirements. Additionally, below were the credit 
score requirements: 
o $500,000 or under: 570 
o Greater than $500,000: 625 
Applicants were required to submit a signed and dated IRS Form 4506-T 
for COVID EIDL authorizing the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to 
release business tax transcripts for SBA to verify their revenue. 
18. As provided by Sec. 1102 (G) of the Cares Act, an eligible 
recipient applying for a covered loan shall make a good faith 
certification—  
(I.)  that the uncertainty of current economic conditions 
makes necessary the loan request to support the ongoing 
operations of the eligible recipient;  
(II.)  acknowledging that funds will be used to retain 
workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage payments, 
lease payments, and utility payments;

(IV.)  during the [ covered period ], that the eligible recipient 
has not received amounts under this subsection for the same 
purpose and duplicative of amounts applied for or received 
under a covered loan. 
19. Beginning March 17, 2021, Isabella Guzman was the 
Administrator of the Small Business Administration  
20. On or about September 1, 2021, Plaintiff submitted SBA loan 
application # 3323639082 through the SBA Covid-19 EIDL portal for an 
SBA EIDL loan in the amount of $195,000. Plaintiff has operated his 
business since July 2014 and been a federally registered vendor through 
SAMS since August 13, 2015. Plaintiff has published novels through 
this business, registered a copyright through the US Copyright Office ( 
Registration Number TXu-1-952-138) and has developed intellectual 
property including the country’s first “comic book universe of all black

female superheroes”. At the time of operation, Plaintiff’s business had 
less than 50 employees in addition to himself. 
21. On or about September 15, 2021 SBA staff including and with the 
participation of Administrator Guzman shared SBA loan application 
#3323639082 with unauthorized federal agents and agencies including 
US Treasury Office of Inspector General Special Agent-in-Charge Rod 
Ammari, Director of Field Operations Office of IRS Criminal 
Investigations Ryan Korner, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 
(“FDIC”) Office of the Inspector  General  Special Agent-in-Charge 
Jeffrey Pittano, (former) US Attorney for the Central District Tracy 
Wilkison, and unidentified staff members of the White House, not for a 
civil or criminal law enforcement purpose and not for any civil or 
criminal law enforcement investigative purpose, but for the purpose of 
identifying ways to harm Plaintiff’s economic interests. SBA staff and 
contacted parties knew and or should have known that there was no 
civil or criminal lawful basis to share Plaintiff’s loan application and 
that there had been no allegations of any criminal activity alleged 
against Plaintiff warranting criminal investigative review.

22. Plaintiff alleges that SBA staff at the direction of and with the 
knowledge of, Administrator Guzman, shared Plaintiff’s SBA loan 
application to unauthorized parties in violation of the Privacy Act, in 
order to give the illusion to necessary entities including Bank of 
America and the Franchise Tax Board, that parties were conducting a 
PPP criminal loan investigation, when in reality no such investigation 
was being performed or lawfully conducted. Furthermore, Plaintiff 
seeks to demonstrate and prove that the sharing of Plaintiff’s SBA loan 
application through emails, texts, and phone conversations, was done 
solely for the purpose of “freezing” Plaintiff’s loan application in order 
that the application not be processed to deny Plaintiff proper review 
and any allocation of a qualifiable EIDL.  
23. On July 5, 2022 Plaintiff received a communication entitled 
“EIDL Reconsideration Request SBA: 0011720007729” from SBA 
Disaster and Recovery Specialist “Angela P.”, Office of Capital Access, 
wherein the SBA admitted to sharing Plaintiff’s loan application with 
an unnamed individual in the White House. Although Plaintiff is an 
admirer and supporter of the President, Plaintiff never communicated 
to any member of the White House about SBA loan application

#3323639082 and never authorized the SBA to communicate any 
information to the White House.  
24. On July 5, 2022 Plaintiff also learned through the same 
communication stated above, that SBA loan application #3323639082 
had been denied on March 28, 2022 and that further appeals would not 
be allowable as SBA funds had been finally exhausted on May 6, 2022.  
25. Plaintiff aims to demonstrate that SBA loan application 
#3323639082 was accessed numerous times by numerous individuals 
and unauthorized individuals between September 2021 and May 5 
2022, and SBA staff, at the direction of and with the knowledge of 
Administrator Guzman, frequently allowed access to SBA loan 
application #3323639082 wherein numerous notations and changes 
were made to the application without including proper or any 
attribution by any SBA staff member or officer in order to shield SBA 
staff from any liability or exposure relating to the unauthorized access. 
The manner in which SBA loan application #3323639082 was 
improperly shopped around to government agencies and the 
communications, both informal and formal, through texts, and emails, 
from SBA officers including Administrator Guzman had the ultimate

and desired effect of denying SBA loan application #332639082 for 
$195,000 and denying the Plaintiff’s loan increase request to $495,000 
without proper review or proper attribution.  
CLAIM FOR VIOLATION OF TITLE VI 
26. On or about April 6, 2021 Plaintiff began reporting to United 
States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) officials including First Assistant 
US Attorney for the Central District Stephanie Christensen, Assistant 
US Attorney Christina Shay and (former) US Attorney for the Central 
District Tracy Wilkison about significant false claims violations 
committed by Plaintiff’s former employer UCLA and retaliatory 
attempts made by UCLA staff, wherein UCLA staff had improper and 
corrupt communications with a UCLA alumni and current Employment 
Development Department (“EDD”) judge to create a public record 
undermining Plaintiff’s credibility by characterization of being a 
‘disgruntled employee’. As a result of the actions by UCLA and the EDD 
judge, Plaintiff was issued an EDD judgment denying Plaintiff’s right to 
EDD unemployment claims yet paradoxically Plaintiff was issued the 
contested benefits, immediately after and in violation of the EDD 
ruling. Although Plaintiff appealed the ruling and believed he was

deserving of his unemployment benefits, Plaintiff realized he was being 
issued the benefits in contravention of the EDD ruling in order to deny 
Plaintiff standing in any suit and to protect EDD from future liability. 
Nevertheless, Plaintiff reported the misallocation of government 
resources immediately to both EDD and to the DOJ and informed DOJ 
that while Plaintiff had contested the decision to deny the benefits, 
Plaintiff had reason to believe the benefits were being issued to him in 
order to rob him of standing in any future litigation against EDD. 
Rather than investigate Plaintiff’s significant false claims allegations 
against UCLA which were clearly outlined in a document generated by 
Plaintiff entitled “UCLA violations”, and instead of investigating the 
nature of Plaintiff being awarded benefits that EDD judges had ruled 
against providing, DOJ instead began a months long campaign to warn 
UCLA and EDD about any possible liability or exposure from Plaintiff, 
and DOJ officials also began a months long campaign to use DOJ’s vast 
powers and influence to discover any information about Plaintiff that 
could be used against Plaintiff to prevent Plaintiff from pursuing claims 
against UCLA or EDD.

27. On or about April 12, 2021 and on or about May 5, 2021, Plaintiff 
applied for and received a First Draw PPP loan for $11,836 and a 
Second Draw PPP loan for $11,836, respectively, through third party 
PPP lender, Womply Fast Lane, for combined loan amount totaling 
$23,672. On or about June 15 2021 both the First Draw loan and 
Second Draw loan were totally forgiven. For several months, from April 
through September, DOJ and SBA had every opportunity to investigate 
Plaintiff and pursue any justifiable charges or allegations of unlawful 
activity against Plaintiff including for any possible indications that 
Plaintiff had made false representations or filed false documents to any 
state or federal agency. During this time DOJ and SBA through 
exhaustive investigation were able to fully vet and clear Plaintiff of any 
allegations of wrongdoing by Plaintiff and subsequently had 
opportunity to verify Plaintiff’s allegations against UCLA and EDD by 
launching an investigation into Plaintiff’s allegations. Though DOJ (and 
SBA) used their powers to investigate and verify Plaintiff, no 
investigations were launched into either UCLA or EDD despite 
Plaintiff’s very specific reporting of allegations of waste, fraud, and 
abuse. In short, DOJ (and affiliated federal agencies including SBA)

criminal conduct by UCLA officials and EDD officials.   
28. On or about September 15, 2021 at the direction of Administrator 
Guzman and SBA Office of the Inspector General Special Agent-in-
Charge Weston King, at the direction and suggestion of DOJ officials 
including Tracy WIlkison, SBA staff effectively put a review hold on 
SBA loan application #3323639082 in order that SBA loan application 
#3323639082 would not be processed in the same manner as other SBA 
loan applications and not be processed in accordance with the 
provisions of the congressionally approved CARES Act and SBA EIDL 
program. 
29. Starting in September 2021, the SBA began and continued an 
unrelenting campaign against Plaintiff whereby Plaintiff’s SBA loan 
application was withheld from proper review and proper determination. 
Furthermore, from September – March, Plaintiff’s loan application was 
frequently accessed by SBA staff and non SBA staff, including by staff 
of US Treasury Office of Inspector General Special Agent-in-Charge Rod 
Ammari, Director of Field Operations Office of IRS Criminal 
Case 2:22-cv-07334-SPG-AS   Document 9   Filed 11/04/22   Page 17 of 32   Page ID #:72

Investigations Ryan Korner, FDIC Office of the Inspector  General  
Special Agent-in-Charge Jeffrey Pittano, and (former) US Attorney for 
the Central District Tracy Wilkison, in which SBA loan application 
#3323639082 was discussed through emails, texts and phone messages 
by the same parties, and in which  notations were frequently added 
without any attribution to the agents accessing the application or 
making changes to the application. Plaintiff regularly inquired of the 
SBA about the status of this application and received many false 
promises and assurances on the phone and in more than 50 emails from 
SBA Disaster Customer Service and SBA PDC Reconsideration, that 
the SBA would review and escalate the application to receive proper 
determination. Such false promises had the effect of not only denying 
Plaintiff proper consideration of his application, but also jeopardizing 
Plaintiff’s business relationships as Plaintiff’s faith and credibility were 
ruined by SBA’s deliberate mishandling and misleading tactics.  
30. On December 31, 2021, due to the continued lag in processing 
SBA loan application #3323639082, and due to the ongoing economic 
relief needed to facilitate Plaintiff’s affected business operations, 
Plaintiff applied for an EIDL targeted advance. Due to the fact Plaintiff

is a minority and Plaintiff’s business is at least 51% minority owned, 
and due to the fact that Plaintiff’s business is in a qualifying 
economically disadvantaged area, Plaintiff qualified for and was 
granted an EIDL targeted advance grant for $10,000 and $5,000. 
31. Plaintiff alleges that the SBA was aware that Plaintiff was a 
citizen of protected class due to the review and application process for 
Plaintiff’s First Draw PPP loan, Second Draw PPP loan and the EIDL 
targeted advance. Furthermore, SBA staff including Administrator 
Guzman either knew or should have known that Plaintiff would be 
qualified for and approved for an EIDL given the due diligence and 
application review required to process Plaintiff’s First and Second Draw 
loan and EIDL targeted advance.   
32. Despite being evaluated for and having qualified for and having 
been approved for the First and Second Draw PPP loans, as well as the 
EIDL targeted advance, neither Administrator Guzman or any other 
SBA official made any effort to determine Plaintiff’s eligibility for SBA 
loan application #3323639082 during the 6-8 months the application 
was put on hold, precisely because Administrator Guzman knew that 
Plaintiff did qualify and should have been approved, and the SBA,

FDIC, IRS DOJ and US Treasury were determined to not approve 
Plaintiff’s SBA loan application #3323639082 . Regarding eligibility the 
SBA did not attempt to verify Plaintiff’s credit score for loan eligibility, 
nor did the SBA seek to review IRS form 4506-T strictly for loan 
eligibility, rather the SBA sought Plaintiff’s tax history and tax 
information not pertaining to years pertinent to the loan application in 
an effort to find and leverage any outstanding taxes owed to the IRS 
against Plaintiff so as to cause emotional distress.  
33. Additionally, due to the procrastinated processing of SBA loan 
application #3323639082 and due to the ongoing financial pressures of 
distressed business operations, on December 31, 2021, Plaintiff 
submitted an increase request to the SBA, sent to 
covideidlincreaserequest@sba.gov for an increase to a new loan amount 
of $495,000. 
34. On June 5, 2022 Plaintiff was informed by the SBA that Plaintiff 
was no longer eligible for an SBA loan because funding had been 
exhausted in May 2022. Ultimately as a result of these tactics and false 
promises and improper handling of Plaintiff’s loan application,

to zero out Plaintiff’s personal bank account and business account of all 
funds, including disaster relief funds allocated by order of the governor 
of California, and funds designated to pay Plaintiff’s business expenses 
and business insurance, and Plaintiff’s living and rent expenses, and 
thereby remit those funds on instruction from agents including Special 
Agent-in-Charge King to a third-party entity affiliate of the federal 
government. Plaintiff’s funds were remitted under the guise of tax 
collection, not reclaiming either the First or Second Draw loans which 
had been totally forgiven and Plaintiff was not given any notice that the 
government or any federal agency intended to take such action although 
by law, Plaintiff was entitled to notification about tax disputes as well 
as the opportunity to pay installment plans and or make any other 
necessary arrangements to appeal or settle such claims in a timely 
manner, in good faith, and on structured terms that would have not 
been harmful to the Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s ultimate ability to pay any 
and all outstanding taxes.  Parties’ participation in the absconding of

37. On February 17, 2022 SBA Office of the Inspector General

Re: Demand for Payment 
 
To whom it may concern 
 
Please be advised that this is a demand for payment from the Small Business Administration, in 
accordance with the Federal Torts Claims Act, for the sum of $1,495,000 for violations of the Privacy 
Act, for violations of Title VI, regarding retaliation and discrimination, for violations of the Takings 
Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, and for the intentional infliction of emotional 
distress. On or about September 1, 2021, I submitted an application to the SBA for an economic disaster 
injury loan in the amount of $195,000. This loan application was my property which I submitted to the 
SBA for evaluation in consideration of approving a $195,000 loan from the SBA that my business 
qualified for as a matter of law, in accordance with the emergency aid granted by Congress in order to 
help small businesses such as mine which had suffered during the Covid pandemic. At the same time that 
my EIDL loan application was submitted to the SBA, I was also engaged in a burgeoning legal dispute 
with my former employer, the UC Regents/ UCLA Corporate Financial Services, regarding retaliation 
and qui tam claims, presented by myself against the UC, for violations of the California and Federal False 
Claims Act. 
Due to the serious and sensitive nature of these qui tam and retaliation claims, I reported all allegations to 
the US Department of Justice, directly to US Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison. Unbeknownst to myself at the 
time, UCLA was preparing to enter into a new financial relationship involving the licensing and 
agreement of a grant of rights agreement which UCLA hoped would net UCLA and additional annual 
revenue gain of up to $100 million dollars, which could have been threatened or forfeited with the 
revelations contained in my false claims whistleblower reports. In an effort to help preserve UCLA’s 
financial ambitions, and as a political favor done to avoid embarrassing the UC and the UC’s interests and 
political backers and beneficiaries, Ms Wilkison used her investigative powers to receive and review and 
obstruct and arrest and ultimately “take” my SBA EIDL application (SBA loan application #3323639082) 
Case 2:22-cv-07334-SPG-AS   Document 9   Filed 11/04/22   Page 27 of 32   Page ID #:82

in such a way so as to prevent this application from being fairly evaluated per my request and per the 
intent of the EIDL program.  
Agents of the SBA facilitated and participated in the action of taking my SBA loan application. Agents of 
the SBA, including SBA administrator Isabella Guzman and regional inspector general Weston King, had 
knowledge of and or participated directly in the action of taking SBA loan application #3323639082 and 
distributing this application to federal agencies other than the SBA. Agents of the SBA including SBA 
administrator Isabella Guzman and regional inspector general Weston King, had knowledge of and/ or 
participated in disseminating SBA loan application #3323639082 to the following federal agencies 
including the Treasury department, FDIC, the IRS, and USDOJ. Additionally, the involvement of 
Inspector General King lent a false air of propriety to this misconduct, while also indicating to the 
offending agencies that the SBA Inspector General would lend his office to help protect the offenders 
from retribution or prosecution. 
Disseminating SBA loan application #3323639082 to agencies other than the SBA is a violation of the 
Privacy Act. Per the Privacy Act, agencies may not disclose records between one another without a 
person's written consent, except for law enforcement purposes. The SBA did not receive or request 
written permission from me to share this application, nor was this application shared for law enforcement 
purposes, but rather this application was shared and impeded in order to help another federal agency 
retaliate against me for reporting false claims violations against the UC. Because SBA loan 
application #3323639082 was singled out and denied fair consideration equal to every other application, 
the SBA violated the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, prohibiting the government from taking 
private property without notification and compensation, and also the SBA, in doing so, willingly 
participated in a broader effort to inflict intentional emotional distress upon myself and my business by 
impairing my ability to secure economic injury disaster assistance for my business in violation with the 
stated intent of Congress to help small businesses such as mine with such appropriation funding.  
Additionally, agents of the SBA took active steps to also share my personal banking information as well 
as tax information to agents of the FDIC (including FDIC Inspector General Jeff Pittano), US Treasury 
(including special agent Rod Ammari), IRS (including special agent Ryan Korner), and USDOJ 
(including US attorney Tracy Wilkison, US Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite, and Deputy 
Assistant Attorney General/ Controller Jolene Lauria), in order to aid in efforts to inflict emotional 
distress upon myself in an effort to retaliate against me for threatening the business and personal political 
relationships enjoyed by the UC Regents/ UCLA. Sharing this banking and tax information was also a 
violation of the Privacy Act, since it was done without written permission by me and was not done in a 
law enforcement capacity, and was done with the aim and intention of targeting me and my business 
interests and for the purposes of inflicting emotional distress.  
The SBA’s conduct with respect to obstructing and taking SBA loan application #3323639082 was 
outrageous and no reasonable person would find such conduct tolerable. Taking SBA loan 
application #3323639082 and participating in efforts to target my interests utilizing my personal banking 
information and tax information, not in a law enforcement capacity, is conduct so substantial or enduring 
that no reasonable person could be expected to endure it  As a result of these injuries, I have lost my 
business and my bank accounts were debited without my permission, and payment was sent to the 
government, without my permission, in such a way so as to prevent me from being able to pay my 
Case 2:22-cv-07334-SPG-AS   Document 9   Filed 11/04/22   Page 28 of 32   Page ID #:83

monthly living expenses, including my rent and also to prevent me from being able to sustain business 
operations, including making timely payments of my business insurance. 
Furthermore, Inspector General King’s involvement and review of these actions without issuing clear 
guidance to SBA agents with respect to issues and areas of potential or actual agency wrongdoing, while 
also not validating any assertions or conclusions that SBA agency actions were proper law enforcement 
activities, lent the clear and unmistakable impression to the agency and agents that these actions were not 
proper law enforcement activities and that agents need not fear punishment from the Inspector General’s 
Office. Inspector General King’s actions and failure to demand that corrective actions be taken to address 
agency wrongdoing in this regard made him complicit in these actions and led agents to understand that 
the Inspector General’s Office would protect offending agents from punishment/ prosecution for these 
violations.     
Under the FTCA, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671-2680, individuals who are injured or whose property is damaged by 
the wrongful or negligent act of a federal employee acting within his or her official duties may file a 
claim with the government for reimbursement for that injury or damage. To state a valid claim, the 
claimant must demonstrate that: 
1. he or she was injured, or his or her property was damaged by a federal government employee; 
2. the employee was acting within the scope of his or her official duties; 
3. the employee was acting negligently or wrongfully; and 
4. the negligent or wrongful act proximately caused the injury or damage of which he or she 
complains. 
In an effort to resolve and release all future claims against the SBA for these actions, I file this claim and 
am willing to except $1,495,000 in damages. 
The sum is determined as follows: 
$1,000,000 for loss of Skip 2 My Loop Publishing. This is the value of the company which was fully 
insured and damaged and destroyed as a result of the SBA’s negligent and wrongful refusal to process 
SBA loan application #3323639082. SBA’s misconduct with respect to the SBA’s failure to process SBA 
loan application #3323639082 was negligent and wrongful, if not egregious, and resulted in such a way 
that prevented me from reapplying for the EIDL or any other. SBA negligently and or wrongfully held on 
to this loan without making a proper determination and as a result I could not apply for any other loan 
before the funding eligibility window closed. Although SBA received and processed thousands of loan 
applications after SBA loan application #3323639082 was submitted, the SBA withheld loan application 
#3323639082 and negligently and or wrongfully discriminated against this application by not processing 
or evaluating the loan application fairly and equally. The SBA’s actions and participation in the damage 
to SBA loan application #3323639082 was negligent and wrongful.    
.    
$195,000 for the taking and impairment of SBA loan application #3323639082 for actual damages 
relating to the violation of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. This is the value of SBA loan 
application #3323639082. SBA’s actions and participation in the violation of the Takings Clause of the 
Case 2:22-cv-07334-SPG-AS   Document 9   Filed 11/04/22   Page 29 of 32   Page ID #:84

Fifth Amendment was wrongful and or negligent causing SBA loan application #3323639082 to be 
shared amongst federal agencies without my permission, resulting in the actual monetary loss of $195,000 
in qualifiable federal loans. 
$195,000 for actual damages relating to violation of the Privacy Act with respect to the sharing of  
SBA loan application #3323639082. SBA’s actions and participation in the violation of the Privacy Act 
was wrongful and or negligent causing SBA loan application #3323639082 to be shared amongst federal 
agencies without my permission, resulting in the actual monetary loss of $195,000 in qualifiable federal 
loans. 
$2,500 for actual damages relating to the taking of personal funds from my personal bank account 
and business bank account. SBA’s actions and participation in this action was negligent and or 
wrongful, causing the taking of funds/ damage to my personal and business bank account. 
$102,500 for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. SBA’s conduct with respect to the above 
was negligent and wrongful causing predictable, if not, intentional, infliction of emotional distress. 
Total claim for damages $1,495,000 = $1,000,000 + $195,000 + 195,000 + $2,500, + $102,500
