FYI: Nikki convicted of being a liar/fraudster.

Chicago-area man who sued women for badmouthing him on dating site convicted days later of tax fraud involving mob-connected sweepstakes kiosks

Chicago-area native Nikko D’Ambrosio made a national media splash earlier this month when he filed a lawsuit against dozens of women who allegedly bad-mouthed him on a tell-all Facebook dating page, describing him as “clingy,” a ghoster and a show-off with money.

Turns out D’Ambrosio’s dating reviews were the least of his worries.
On Friday, D’Ambrosio, 32, of Des Plaines, was convicted in the same federal courthouse where his lawsuit is pending of tax fraud counts alleging he vastly underreported income he’d made distributing “sweepstakes” gaming machines for a company with ties to Chicago mob figures.

After a four-day trial, the jury deliberated less than 90 minutes before convicting D’Ambrosio on two counts of filing a false tax return, which each carry a maximum prison term of up to three years.
Dressed in a dark suit, D’Ambrosio sat up straight in his chair but showed no reaction as the verdict was read. U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin set sentencing for May 28.

D’Ambrosio was a small fish ensnared in the same overall investigation into the shady world of sweepstakes kiosks, an ongoing probe that already has brought down James Weiss, son-in-law of former Cook County Democratic boss Joe Berrios, as well as then-Illinois state Rep. Luis Arroyo, in a scheme to bribe a state senator to support sweepstakes legislation.

Illinois has SLAPP statute.

Illinois has an anti-SLAPP law but it has limited application. SLAPP stands for strategic lawsuits against public participation. Compare your state’s anti-SLAPP laws.

Dating can be difficult, but there are certain things you can do to not make things worse on yourself. Don’t be a creep. Be kind. Take no for an answer. Actually listen to the people you date. I me…

CASE UPDATE:

Case dismissed. Minute Entry below.

Trent Firm also refiled the suit the same day. Lawsuit still lists Facebook entities which are going to be dismissed due to Section 230.

Nikki find another attorney!! LOLOLOL

01/25/2024 3 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Plaintiff Nikko D' Ambrosio brings a seven Count class action against 40 plus defendants. Plaintiff asserts jurisdiction is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332 for diversity jurisdiction. In his complaint, the Plaintiff alleges he resides in the territorial jurisdiction of the District Court, which is Illinois. However, several of the named Defendants are also Illinois residents. The Court understands "[r]esidency does not necessarily equate to domicile." Grandinetti v. Uber Techs., Inc., No. 19 C 05731, 2020 WL 4437806, at *4 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 1, 2020) (Chang, J.). However, the Plaintiff does not assert any other basis for his or the Defendants' domicile besides their residency; therefore, the Court equates the two here. Although, the Class Action Fairness Act ("CAFA") allows removal of a class action from state court to federal if there is minimal diversity, the present complaint fails to assert jurisdiction based on CAFA. See Calchi v. TopCo Assocs., LLC, No. 22-CV-747, 2023 WL 3863355, at *3 (N.D. Ill. June 7, 2023) (Seeger J.) (quoting Dancel v. Groupon, Inc., 940 F.3d 381, 383 (7th Cir. 2019), which states that "[t]he CAFA permits removal of a proposed class action to federal court as long as there is minimal diversity, meaning just one member of the plaintiff class needs to be a citizen of a state different from any one defendant.")). Consequently, Plaintiff fails to meet his burden that jurisdiction is proper pursuant to CAFA. Schutte v. Ciox Health, LLC, 28 F.4th 850 (7th Cir. 2022). Because it is well established that traditional diversity jurisdiction is destroyed when a plaintiff's and a single defendant's domicile is the same state, jurisdiction is improper. See Page v. Democratic Nat'l Comm., 2 F.4th 630, 636 (7th Cir. 2021) (citing Wis. Dep't of Corr. v. Schacht, 524 U.S. 381, 388, 118 S.Ct. 2047, 141 L.Ed.2d 364 (1998)). Because the Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over this case, the Court dismisses this case. Status hearing set for 3/11/2024 is stricken. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice.

Facebook lawsuit alleging women defamed Chicago man on private page brings flood of complaints from other men
Nikko D'Ambrosio's lawsuit stems from a page called 'Are we dating the same guy?'

What began as one Chicago man's attempt to get justice after multiple women allegedly defamed him on a private Facebook group called "Are We Dating The Same Guy? — Chicago" has garnered national attention.
Nikko D'Ambrosio is suing Facebook and 27 women for $75 million after they allegedly posted his photos, name and other identifying information on the Chicago version of a nationwide collection of private Facebook groups called "Are we dating the same guy?" along with complaints about his behavior.
"It didn't start off as a national issue, but it morphed into one because of how many people are out there who are victims," D'Ambrosio's attorney, Daniel Nikolic, told Fox News Digital.
"And these guys aren't running out there telling family and friends, ‘Look, I’m being defamed on this website.' Who would want to do that? So, they stay in silence and go about their day. … So, we filed this lawsuit, and now people are coming out of the woodwork."

Nikolic said his office is fielding "hundreds of calls" from men with similar complaints — and screenshots.
The "Are we dating the same guy?" pages were popularized around 2022 after various New York City women began sharing their bizarre dating stories on social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok and tried to determine whether they were, in fact, dating the same man known as "West Elm Caleb." Some of the videos went viral at the time but have since been deleted following backlash.

Some of the videos went viral at the time but have since been deleted following backlash.

The group "self-describes its community as Red-flag awareness groups across the country where women can empower each other and keep each other safe from toxic men."

To join these Facebook groups, users must answer a series of questions and agree to certain rules, such as not sharing identifying information posted within the groups with the public or the media and not posting a person's full name or employer. The groups encourage users to describe their dates more generally rather than with specifics.

In fact, the "Are we dating the same guy — Chicago" page includes a rule specifically against doxxing, and it says the goal of the page is to empower women rather than "judge men."
"Don’t post or comment any last names, social media usernames, phone numbers, addresses, employers, or any other personal or contact information that would make it possible for members or bad actors to look up or contact someone posted here," the rule states. "Adding this information greatly increases the chances that they will find out they were posted. It’s about protection. Not retaliation."
But D'Ambrosio's lawsuit says the women he is suing did exactly that. The lawsuit was filed just months after Illinois passed an anti-doxxing law in August.

"His status in the community has been harmed because people have commented that he's very clingy, he's a serial dater, he ghosted somebody," Nikolic said, adding D'Ambrosio worries about finding future jobs with his name and allegedly defamatory information posted on the Facebook group, which has about 80,000 members.

Another issue with the group, Nikolic said, is the fact that D'Ambrosio can't respond to what is being said about him because the page is private.

Nikolic said his office sent cease and desist letters to the moderators of the Chicago-based page, asking them to take down information about D'Ambrosio, but they "wouldn't respond."

"Our client really had no recourse, and it's not like he could go on the page himself … because you have to ask to join this group. And if you don't get in, you can't see what's on there," the attorney explained.

This poster is delusional. Read the TOS of any platform before you join. Most say that third parties may use photos.

Here is more context and legal context on this ridiculous lawsuit. Trent Law is trying to get additional clients. This will likely end badly for them and their client got nothing but more attention.

I hope they have good E/O coverage because they’re probably going to be sued after this monumental display of INEPT legal representation.

OH THE IRONY...he is suing people for false statements when he is CURRENTLY INDICTED and CHARGED WITH A FEDERAL FELONY FOR FALSE STATEMENTS??

16/01/2024

No expert witness for you, accused tax fraud.

"they require the expert witness to state expressly whether [the defendant] possessed the requisite intent to commit the crimes charged in the indictment.” Id. Because Part 2B of Dr. Farmilant’s testimony states an opinion as to the element of willfulness, the Court finds that Dr. Farmilant may not testify as to Part 2B of his opinion."

Does Nikko D'Ambrosio has a credibility problem as well? He was indicted by a Grand Jury in federal court for TAX FRAUD which is a FELONY. D'Ambrosio is currently defending this felony charge.

The file you are looking for does not exist.

How ironic is it that the main complaint about the Are We Dating the Same Guy groups is the anonymity that is offered to ask if there are red flags or has anyone had experience with basic f&&* boys. This is from an anti-AWDTSG group who all want to see those bishes BURN but note the name of the poster. Anonymous member? BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA 🙄

I wonder how much he wasted in this lawsuit?

“Members of the Trent Law Firm, dismiss this atrocity before you get sanctioned so hard your great-grandkids will come out with the judge’s bootprint on their asses. Nikko D’Ambrosio, go get a good malpractice lawyer.”

14/01/2024

LOLOL

But Nikko D’Ambrosio went to The Trent Firm and hired two guys named Marc Trent and Daniel Nikolic, and they gave him absolutely abysmal advice. If they told him about the Streisand Effect — if — he didn’t listen. Instead, they filed a stunningly terrible federal lawsuit on his behalf on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, suing a few dozen people and entities.
