Overview
- Attorneys for Richard Hsieh filed a formal objection calling the newly surfaced document a scam and asking the court to invalidate it.
- An expert in counterfeit-document detection deemed it virtually certain Tony Hsieh’s signatures were forged, and a linguistics analysis found nonlawyer drafting with nonsensical terms and misspellings.
- The document’s origin traces to a claim by Kashif Singh that he found it among his late grandfather Pir Muhammad’s belongings, yet no evidence links Muhammad to Hsieh and Singh has not responded to outreach.
- The will names Nevada attorney Robert Armstrong as co-executor, but he says he never met Hsieh and had no role in his estate planning.
- Investigators report that listed witnesses, trusts and trustees cannot be located, and a judge in Las Vegas is set to address the objection and the document’s status on Thursday.
