Today, we are yet again covering a story that the mainstream media refuses to touch. This is the story of Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, who's being accused of some pretty horrible stuff, unspeakable crimes, okay, against his younger sister, and all the mainstream media will say is "Yeah, but she's got some mental health challenges, aka she's crazy."
But is she crazy? Because if she is and just lying about the whole thing, it should be pretty easy to prove. But instead, Sam has decided, as many wealthy billionaires do, to weaponize the media and the legal system against her because he can. So, after a year plus of a legal standoff, a couple weeks ago, it was reported by Bloomberg that Sam Altman tried to get the case dismissed because, quote, "The alleged abuse was so long ago." So, not that the crime didn't happen, but because the statute of limitations had supposedly expired.
He then filed this countersuit against Annie saying, quote, "This lawsuit is just one more attempt by the plaintiff, Annie, to use false accusations of SA to extort her family into providing her with greater and greater financial support without regard for her family members' concerns about how to best support her, including placing compassionate guardrails around financial support in light of her mental health condition." So, once again, he's just painting her out to be this crazy person who's just extorting him and his family for money, claiming that, "Oh, well, we tried to help her. She's got all these issues. We tried to put her in a treatment, this and that, but no, she just wasn't having it."
Which I can actually immediately debunk right now because we got the receipts. This right here is from a family group chat where Annie is asking for $45 to cover past bills and $15 for therapy copays, and her brother Max was like, "Nah, I think you'll figure it out on your own." So, the claims of financial extortion and that they tried to give her the best possible mental health care treatment, that looks to be a lie, allegedly.
And if we take a look at Annie's lawsuit, she's asking for $75,000 in damages against a guy who's worth billions of dollars. I mean, you tell me, but that sounds like this is not at all about the money, but rather it's about seeking truth and seeking justice. Anyway, her lawyer responded in regards to the case being dismissed saying, quote, "It's not over. It was just a procedural ruling. The judge is allowing us to refile the complaint to amend the allegations to conform with the Missouri childhood SA statute. The case is set for trial May 2027."
And last year, I spent hours and hours of research to gather all the facts in the public domain about this case from start to finish, facts that still no mainstream reporter, for whatever reason, is willing to touch. And here it is. This is a photo of a young Sam Altman smiling in the blue polo, and directly below him is his sister Annie. They both look super happy, but was something horrible going on behind the camera?
Because January of this year, the New York Times reported that Sam Altman's younger sister had filed a lawsuit claiming he had sexually abused her. Now, I pulled up that lawsuit to see what exactly Annie was alleging, and let me tell you, what I read was disturbing. Much of which I can't even say aloud for it could get this video taken down immediately, but you can pause to read if you want.
Now, back to the New York Times article, instead of taking her allegations seriously, the Times all but dismissed them saying Ms. Altman had, quote, "Mental health challenges and refuses conventional treatment and lashes out at family members who are genuinely trying to help." But you might be asking, "Why didn't she have any money?" Great question, and this is where the story gets even darker, if you can imagine.
Let's rewind the story a little bit. Annie Altman, she's the youngest of four siblings, the, quote unquote, black sheep of the family. Despite completing pre-med at Tufts, she chose to instead pursue improv, music, yoga, much to her family's chagrin. Annie wrote in a blog post, quote, "My siblings and my mother, Connie, were very judgmental about the shift." The one exception in the Altman family was Annie's father, Jerry, with whom she was incredibly close to. He supported her unconventional choices, right, the music, yoga, even writing a book about how to be human. In her words, quote, "I will always be a daddy's girl and specifically yours."
Unfortunately, in May of 2018, Jerry Altman tragically died from a sudden heart attack. This next part is just sad, but, um, Annie wrote that her father had a heart condition, but still had to work full-time until his death in 2018, even though she repeatedly urged Sam to help retire their dad, who dreamed of living in Costa Rica. Throughout her life, Annie struggled with her mental health and her physical health, which worsened as she grieved her father's death. And she shared on social media at the time that she suffered from OCD, anxiety, depression, IBS, eating disorders, which she said stemmed from PTSD.
Now, if you had paused to read the allegations against Sam in her lawsuit, you can perhaps infer the source of her PTSD. After her father's passing, Annie alleged that Sam, her other siblings, and her mother, Connie, all hid Jerry's will from her for over a year until her father's 401k company notified her that she was his primary beneficiary. Here is a copy of that email showing that it wasn't until September of 2019, a year later, that Sam finally gave Annie access to her father's will.
Annie then decides to quit her job to focus on her health, expecting that she would receive that money, uh, that her father, Jerry, had left for her. According to Annie, she notified her relatives of this plan, which she described as, quote, "A 6-month plan to heal her body." But while filing paperwork, Annie discovered that her mother, Connie, though separated from her late father, was still legally married to him and used the surviving spouse option to override his will, blocking Annie from the money.
Now, based on her social media post, when Annie went to her family for help, they allegedly told her to just, quote, "Work harder." She posts publicly about her precarious financial predicament on Facebook writing, "Hello, internet. I've gotten myself into a very difficult position as I've been unable to work as much as I've needed to due to my mental and physical health. I put myself in a financially risky position to pursue my one-woman show and podcast, and then had unexpected costs with health and technical difficulties. I'm dealing with the consequences of my own decisions, and I need help."
That same month, left without options, she signs up for the first time on Seeking Arrangements, a site connecting sugar babies with wealthy clients. That's right, she was driven into sex work, which is, I think, very different from entering sex work because you enjoy it. And according to Annie, her journey in sex work was a mix of survival, trauma, fleeting empowerment from her first client's payment immediately covering her overdue bills to dangerous in-person meetings driven by desperation. She endured harrowing experiences while reclaiming her autonomy. She wrote in her blog, quote, "I survived sickness because of survival sex work. Escorting, um, not at all glad that it happened, I am grateful."
Now, back to her allegations against her brother, Sam, November 13th, 2021 is the first time she posted about it publicly. And then 1 year later, on November 30th, 2022, OpenAI launches ChatGPT to massive fanfare and meteoric success. Sam Altman becomes a household name, as we all know, the Oppenheimer of our age, as he's called in New York magazine. Meanwhile, Annie is a ghost, who, for the longest time, ChatGPT didn't even recognize her existence. Because, remember, ChatGPT is basically just an internet scraper, so if he doesn't talk about her in his interviews, she basically doesn't exist.
Now, the timeline is kind of important there because a lot of people online are saying that Annie is making all the stuff up about Sam because she wants to extort him for his money, but as you can clearly see there, she made these allegations long before the launch of ChatGPT and before we knew it was going to be a success.
Full disclosure, on September 24th, 2023, on the eve of Yom Kippur, Sam sends this email to Annie apologizing for not helping her. And in regards to the sexual assault lawsuit, Sam states unequivocally, quote, "All of these claims are utterly untrue. The situation causes immense pain to our entire family."
Look, I I don't know the truth, honestly. Nobody does other than Annie and Sam. But I will say that it's easy, super easy to dismiss these allegations because it's inconvenient. On one side, you have Sam Altman, one of the most powerful people in the world, a steward of AI technology that is almost certainly going to alter the course of human history. Annie, on the other hand, is his crazy sister. Who are you going to believe?
And that, my friends, unfortunately, is how the mainstream media and the justice system work in conjunction, in cahoots with one another, to marginalize regular people in order to protect alleged billionaire pedos. I think you can see why this is one of the most suppressed stories in all the mainstream media. So, if you want to help, please like, share, comment because taking down one of the most powerful billionaires in the world is not going to be easy. We can't do it alone. Annie can't do it. I'm not powerful enough. It's going to take all of us.

Posting a video every day in 2026 of the CEO that runs ChatGPT saying something insane until I run out of crazy stuff. Here's day one. Happy New Year. You know, I think AI will probably, like most likely, sort of lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, uh there will be great companies created with serious machine learning.
