Joseph Cammarata spent 30 years building trading technology. He founded SpeedRoute, a broker-dealer whose systems executed roughly 3% of all U.S. equity volume every day, later acquired by Overstock and renamed tZERO. He was CEO of Investview, a public company, when he was arrested in 2021. Never a crime. He was convicted of wire fraud for filing securities class-action settlement claims through companies to which he had assigned his own real trades. The Supreme Court held exactly that lawful in Sprint v. APCC Services (2008): an assignee may pursue a claim in its own name. At trial the prosecutor said aloud, "this appears to be assigned," then moved to strike his own words. No court has ever applied Sprint to his case. A judge with a stake and a verdict before the evidence. One judge controlled the criminal case, the parallel SEC case, and now a new contempt prosecution. At the very first hearing, before any evidence, he called the case "a crime against the courts," told Cammarata's wife she had enjoyed the fruits of his criminal enterprise, and she "may be sitting on zero or minus zero" when it was over. At sentencing he said from the bench, "I have invested, I've made a claim," about the same kind of settlement funds Cammarata was prosecuted over, and his own financial disclosures confirm it. He ruled on Cammarata's sworn affidavit of bias himself and refused to recuse, even after Cammarata sued him (24-cv-1000, D.N.J.). A $78 million freeze with no notice. The SEC sued the day he was arrested. In under 24 hours the judge froze more than $78 million, everything he had, on a 900-page application that never alleged the irreparable harm the law requires. The judge then set the hearing on the freeze in Philadelphia for the same day and hour as Cammarata's detention hearing in Miami, 1,000 miles away. He presided over both cases. Cammarata never received notice. The Marshals' return of service (ECF 10) claims he was served in the Marshals' cellblock on November 8 at 10:50 a.m., with the handwritten "9" changed to an "8." He was not there on November 8. He was handed the papers on November 9 at 10:50 a.m., after the Philadelphia hearing had ended. The next day the judge extended the freeze, reciting that the parties who appeared "consented." By law it expired no later than November 24, 2021. It has been enforced for five years without a single follow-up hearing, and the court refused to release $500,000 of his own money so his lawyers could defend him. Judgment by ambush. At sentencing on June 6, 2023, the judge refused a securities-fraud enhancement, saying it was "better litigated in the S.E.C. case." The next day the SEC moved for summary judgment, claiming the wire fraud conviction automatically proved securities fraud through collateral estoppel. That is legally impossible, because wire fraud has no securities element. The motion was never mailed to Cammarata, and he has never received it. The judge granted it anyway. Cammarata's own motion showing the court never had jurisdiction (ECF 183) has sat undecided since December 12, 2022. A second prosecution. In his tax case, the same prosecutors withheld evidence that disproved the charges. Before the grand jury, months before any fraud trial or verdict, the government used the word "fraud" 27 times, describing a "fraud scheme" that no jury had ever found. A court that protects itself. The lead SEC attorney's wife is an attorney in the Third Circuit's Executive Office, the court hearing his appeals. His judicial misconduct complaint against the judge and her husband, documenting more than 24 judicial and prosecutorial violations, was routed to her office and denied without addressing a single one. Every Third Circuit judge, by name, refused to recuse or move the case, mostly in one-line denials. His SEC appeal has sat almost three years without a brief from the SEC, and the court will not compel one. Can anyone help? Full record: ExposingJustice.com #43Americans

There was never a crime, and the Supreme Court said so in 2008. A judge with a financial stake. A $78M freeze at a hearing held while I was in custody 1,000 miles away. Five years, 93+ constitutional violations, not one addressed. Every fact is in the court record: ExposingJustice.com #43Americans

Joseph Cammarata founded SpeedRoute, later acquired by Overstock and renamed tZERO. He has been imprisoned nearly five years for conduct the Supreme Court held lawful in 2008. A judge with a documented financial stake. A $78M freeze obtained without notice. An appeals court that employs the prosecuting SEC attorney's wife. Two trials, now a third. Every fact, with court citations, is in the two pages below. Full record: ExposingJustice.com #43Americans #Clemency #WeaponizationWatch

Hello everyone. I'm Joe Cammarata, and I'm grateful this community exists. For almost five years I believed I was fighting this alone. These past few days, connecting with other families and people who've lived it has given me hope I haven't felt in a long time. My story: I've been imprisoned nearly five years for conduct the Supreme Court held lawful in Sprint v. APCC (2008). At trial the prosecutor said aloud "this appears to be assigned," then moved to strike his own words. No court has ever applied Sprint to my case. The judge who presided over every one of my cases said from the bench at sentencing that he had invested and made claims in the same settlements at issue, and his own financial disclosures confirm it. When I filed a bias affidavit, he ruled on it himself. The SEC froze more than $78 million at a hearing held while I was in custody at a simultaneous hearing of my own 1,000 miles away. My appeal has sat 32 months in a court where the prosecuting SEC attorney's wife works as an attorney in the executive office, and the SEC has never filed a brief. I was CEO of Investview (INVU), a public company valued at roughly $2 billion in 2021. Its value collapsed as the investigation and prosecution unfolded, and thousands of shareholders lost billions of dollars. More than 50 employees across my other businesses lost their livelihoods, along with their families. When my pardon appeared to be moving forward, my legal mail from the U.S. Supreme Court was taken from me and a captain claimed it was "drenched in methamphetamines." No substance was ever shown, no charge was brought, no hearing was held, but I was moved to a county jail within the hour. My clemency application was denied that July. My case is now before the Supreme Court. Every fact is documented at ExposingJustice.com. I'm here to support all of you as much as to share my own fight. If your loved one is in this community, I want to know their story too. Together we're much harder to ignore. #Clemency #43Americans

He founded SpeedRoute, a trading platform that handled roughly 3% of daily U.S. exchange volume. Overstock acquired it and renamed it tZERO. Then the government prosecuted him for conduct the Supreme Court ruled legal in Sprint v. APCC Services (2008). That precedent was never addressed. $150M was seized before trial so he could not fight back. The trial judge held stock in the exact class action settlements at issue in his case and deleted his own statements from the transcripts. The SEC prosecutor's wife is an attorney and executive at the Third Circuit, the court reviewing all 4 of his appeals. Never disclosed. Never recused. He has been in federal prison for almost 5 years. Congress won't investigate. Oversight agencies won't touch it. An emergency application is now before the Supreme Court. 93 documented constitutional violations. All on the public record. exposingjustice.com
