Legal Fraud, Verified Trafficking, and a $90,000 IRS Cover-Up
1. The Cover Story Never Made Sense
I built a Delaware C-Corp. I was days away from global funding. The official story? That I “walked away” to stalk a man.
Powerful women don’t go crazy. They get silenced.
2. The Reality: Sex Slavery
I wasn’t a stalker. I was a victim of sex slavery.
- Tortured with cigarette burns.
- Branded like property: “Ethan’s Slave.”
- Locked up in a jail cell while my traffickers stayed free.
This wasn’t hidden. The evidence is everywhere—scars, tattoos, mugshots. But instead of an investigation, law enforcement chose to protect my perpetrators.
3. Kidnapped and Erased
In 2013, I was in South Africa—meeting with potential funders for my AR/VR company. That’s when they drugged me and kidnapped me.
Back in California, I left behind everything—my apartment in San Rafael, my car, my furniture, my life. I vanished.
I’m sure a missing persons report was filed. How could there not be? But no one followed up.
- Why didn’t San Rafael police pursue it?
- Why didn’t anyone connect the dots when I turned up branded and burned?
- Why is there still no investigation, even though the evidence is everywhere?
The answer is clear: because it was easier to erase me than to admit what had been done.

4. The Impossible Conviction
Knox County convicted me of second-degree stalking my trafficker.
But here’s the problem: under Maine law, you cannot be guilty of second-degree stalking unless you are guilty of first-degree stalking first.
They never found me guilty of first-degree stalking.
That’s not a mistake. That’s legal fraud. A procedural impossibility created to criminalize the victim and bury the crime.
5. Escape, Exposure, and Retaliation
I escaped in 2019.
Since then, I’ve been publicly calling out for help—on social media, in filings, through every official channel, and even unofficial ones. I’ve made noise in every way possible. The evidence is public. The record is everywhere.
I have not been silent. I have never been silent. The system has simply chosen not to act.
And here’s the part they don’t want you to know: a third-party legal organization has already verified that I was trafficked.
This isn’t a question mark. This isn’t a maybe. It’s been recognized. But law enforcement, prosecutors, and government agencies have refused to act—because doing so would expose their own complicity.
Last year, I tried to use the Freedom of Information Act to request my own Knox County file. At first, they responded. Then the communication went silent. No file. No transparency.
Two months later, instead of handing me my own records, the retaliation began: the IRS hit me with a $90,000 tax lien.
Not five years earlier when I left Maine. Not during the years I was gone. But two months after I requested the file that could expose them.
This isn’t coincidence. This is coordinated retaliation. It’s a message: stay quiet, or we will crush you.
6. What This Means
The conviction itself is evidence of a cover-up. It proves that Knox County twisted its own laws to shield the perpetrators.
This isn’t just my personal nightmare. It’s proof of how the system operates:
- Torture and trafficking covered with impossible charges.
- Victims discarded.
- Perpetrators protected.
- Retaliation used to keep survivors silent.
7. Where We Are Now
Me: in a tent in Berkeley, with no insulin, eating soup out of dented cans.
Them: safe in their homes, shielded by law enforcement, assets intact.
This isn’t justice. This is complicity. This is ATROCITY.
8. Call to Action: What You Can Do
This never should have happened. And it should not be happening now.
👉 If you’ve read this far and do nothing, you are part of the silence keeping this atrocity alive.
Here’s what you can do right now:
📧 Email these federal agencies & demand action:
- FBI (Civil Rights & Trafficking): tips.fbi.gov
- U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division: askdoj@usdoj.gov
- DOJ Office on Violence Against Women: ovw.info@usdoj.gov
- U.S. Attorney’s Office for Maine: USAME.PublicInfo@usdoj.gov
- IRS Inspector General (retaliation complaint): complaints@tigta.treas.gov
📞 Call these offices:
- Knox County Courts: Demand to know how someone can be convicted of 2nd-degree stalking without 1st-degree stalking.
- San Rafael Police Department: Demand to know what happened to the missing persons report.
- Your congressional representative and both U.S. senators: Demand oversight.
📰 Push the press:
Tag and send this to national outlets: @propublica, @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @theintercept, @guardian.
💥 Repeat the questions until they’re answered:
- How did Knox County convict Jodi Schiller of 2nd-degree stalking without 1st-degree stalking?
- What happened to the missing persons report in San Rafael?
- Why was the IRS used for retaliation two months after she tried to FOIA her own case file?
9. Final Word
If the law can be bent this far to protect traffickers, no one is safe. There were other women being held and tortured there—I suspect many are dead now.
The record is public. The evidence is everywhere. The cover-up is collapsing. The only thing keeping it alive is silence.
I have not been silent. I will not be silent.
Don’t be complicit. Make noise.
✊ The Mantra of Survival
Every day I wake up in America, I have to say words no woman should ever have to say:
“I won’t die today.”
Why?
- Because I live in a tent, and any predator could get at me.
- Because I am the enemy of the most horrific enemy humanity has ever known — the patriarchy.
- Because they know I’m a threat, and they want me gone.
- Because hospitals refuse stabilization.
- Because courts and police protect abusers.
- Because $20 million stolen from me is shielded by law.
- Because women and children are being slaughtered and tortured in silence while the government, authorities, and the press looks away.
“I won’t die today” should not need to be spoken in this country.
And yet — here I am, forced to say it.
So hear me clearly:
👉 Every day I say it and live it is proof I am still here, still fighting, still leading.
Repeat it with me.
“I won’t die today.”
Make it your mantra. Make it our war cry.
Because we aren’t done. And we sure as hell aren’t silent.
Jodi Schiller — once an international leader in AR/VR, days from securing global funding for her platform Metaobjects — was kidnapped, held for two years, tortured.
When she escaped, she was digitally erased.
Ex-husband Ben Douglas (Rimon Law) stole $20M from her. Law enforcement shields him, not her, and protects the stolen assets.
Founder of Connect The DOTS (Death Oppression Theft Silencing), exposing the hidden holocaust men are perpetrating on women and children in America. They’re hiding our bodies and working hard to keep us in the dark.
Now living in a tent in Berkeley — everything stolen, still targeted — she’s writing:
Narrative Possession: This is the Zombie Apocalypse — You Don’t Know Because You Are One.
If they can do this to a female founder, journalist, and mother — they can do it to anyone.
