The story of a rushed federal indictment in the Western District of Oklahoma that collapsed under scrutiny following AUSA DH Dilbeck’s disqualification and major ethical + procedural issues - but not before costing me nearly everything
m.youtube.com/watch?v=v1v1F_…
This podcast doesn’t name names, unflinchingly explain every detail of what I did or didn’t do that the DOJ called a crime, or expose a web of incentives that, on its appearance, offers a simple yet sinister explanation for everything that unfolded upon me
It does explain what it felt like (spoiler alert….awful) to be on the receiving end of (now dismissed) United States of America vs. Ryan Bloom
Thank you @AlexLittleTN and @Amy_K_Nelson

The FBI came to my door at 6 am. I know what it's like when they come for your family.
For @toddchrisley + Julie it was the strategy.
I hope you'll listen to TARGET, our new podcast from Litson with @AlexLittleTN

1 year ago today, a federal judge in OKC disqualified federal prosecutor DH Dilbeck from a case Dilbeck indicted, twice. Why take this nearly unprecedented action?
It was the massive pay raises Dilbeck’s wife Mackenzie was receiving regularly from @OU_President, including a $100k a year bump to $310k WHILE her husband was pursuing this fed case benefiting @OU_President ‘s bank, Valliance, a bank he started with Roy Oliver and still owns and directs to this day. A bank that filed a fraud insurance claim and FBI report simultaneously that was pending while the case was rushed through the grand jury - a grand jury given objectively binary false testimony
Two days prior to his forced recusal, DH Dilbeck represented to the judge in court he did not know another bank board member, @blairdhumphreys, before admitting they’d been neighbors
New prosecutors without conflict examined the totality of the evidence - something DH Dilbeck did not do prior to rush indictment with no target letter and aggressive driveway surprise arrest - and then moved to dismiss the case
Yet, DH Dilbeck was never apparently subjected to DOJ ethics review, Oklahoma Bar, and he is *still* prosecuting cases to this day with no apparent repercussions for indicting a case AFTER being made aware of his conflict -OR- for leaving a false impression (to borrow the Judge’s words) upon the Court
Will anti-corruption @coffeyforok weigh in? Will @wsuares dig in? Will @SenatorLankford inquire? Can @Okla_OAG form a grand jury to investigate? Can @TheLostOgle find out if the Harroz connection is what caused the case to form in the first place?

Courts Say the @TheJusticeDept Is Shredding the 'Presumption of Regularity' It Never Deserved Extra Trust - Misconduct and misrepresentations by DOJ lawyers have led some judges to question the traditional benefit of the doubt they have had

Now imagine someone tries to make this construction dispute into something criminal on the part of the plumber
When the grand opening gets a red carpet, A-list VIPs, and endless champagne 🍾... but the plumbers who installed the toilets are standing outside with a $1.72 million bill 🧾🚽
Talk about VIP vs. RIP (Rest In Unpaid Invoices)!
DOJ needs a new policy for press releases on indictments. Unless there are too many victims to keep notified, too many public inquiries to address, or a high likelihood of discovering additional victims, press releases on innocent people should be banned. Your headline can wait
An accusation can travel around the world before the facts enter the room.
One screenshot.
One headline.
One review.
One press release written with the certainty of a verdict.
A physician’s reputation can begin collapsing before the investigation is complete, before the evidence is tested, and before a jury hears a single fact.
Even an eventual acquittal may never receive the same attention as the original accusation.
In this article, Dr. Rifai examines the court of public opinion through the perspective of a physician who personally experienced indictment, public judgment, trial, and a unanimous not-guilty verdict.
Physicians must be held accountable when evidence supports it.
But an allegation is not proof, and due process is not an inconvenience.
It is the foundation that separates justice from public punishment.

my mental health journey is less “finding my inner peace” and more “dragging my emotional support dumpster fire uphill.”
i’m fine
I shared my story of how the Western District of Oklahoma DOJ rushed to indict but then the case collapsed into a dismissal of all charges over conflicts of interest between AUSA DH Dilbeck and @OU_President on @ian_bick and a single reel exceeded a million views over the weekend
Why then is the story so uninteresting that @readfrontier and @briOKC and @DGoforth918 , a publication with
“a mission to produce fearless, independent journalism with impact. We hold those in power accountable, give a voice to the powerless and tell stories that matter to Oklahomans”
Won’t even engage with the possibility of covering the story?
This x 100
Replying to @FAMMFoundation
This DOJ is nothing like the DOJ of the past - it’s inexperienced, immature, had bad judgment, and cares more about politics than justice. Definitely @USAO_WDOK under the spineless sycophant Bob Troester
Renewing my call for @koconews @readfrontier @wsuares @NEWS9 @SenatorLankford @stephaniebice @Okla_OAG @GovStitt
to look into how a federal judge in Oklahoma City disqualified a prosecutor for his conflict of interest which led to the case collapsing - but not before it cost an Oklahoma City man and his family *everything* for a case that never should have been brought

In traditional criminal cases, wrongful conviction estimates are already terrifying. Some studies place innocence rates in the prison population around 4–6%, with certain categories even higher.
That is why many states have created Conviction Integrity Units. But even these reviews catch only a tiny fraction of the real problem. The National Registry of Exonerations recorded 147 exonerations in 2024, with CIUs helping secure 62 of them. Important work — but nowhere near enough.
Now look at the federal system.
Federal defendants almost never win. Most never even get a real trial. The pressure to plead is overwhelming, the indictment bar is zero, and acquittals are extremely rare.
In corporate-driven cases, it can be even worse. A powerful company can make a corrupt referral, shapes the narrative, hand the government a packaged “case,” and the individual target is suddenly fighting both the federal government and the corporation that created the false story.
If the company is wrong, biased, retaliatory, or commercially motivated, the damage is still done.
Careers are destroyed.
Families are destroyed.
Businesses are destroyed.
Freedom is taken.
And the company faces no accountability for setting the machine in motion.
This is a mockery of justice.
The cases discussed here are examples of how extreme the injustice can become when corporate referrals, weak safeguards, and federal prosecutorial power collide.
We need real reform:
• independent review before corporate-driven referrals become indictments
• mandatory disclosure of company conflicts and business motives
• penalties for false or misleading corporate referrals
• post-conviction integrity review at the federal level
• stronger safeguards before someone’s life is destroyed
Wrongful convictions are not just a state-court problem.
Federal injustice needs its own Conviction Integrity system — and it needs it now.
