Overview

• Jacob Chansley filed a 26-page, single-paragraph complaint on Sept. 29, 2025 seeking $40 trillion in damages.
• He names a wide array of defendants in court documents, including President Donald Trump, the Federal Reserve, the NSA, the IMF, the World Bank, the State of Israel, Elon Musk’s X Corp., T-Mobile, and Warner Bros. Studios.
• The complaint proposes minting a one-ounce gold coin purportedly valued at $40 trillion to erase national debt and asserts that major films plagiarized his writing.
• Chansley alleges the NSA “catfished” him by posing as actress Michelle Rodriguez and claims Trump emailed him two days after the Jan. 6 attack.
• Chansley gained notoriety for his Jan. 6 conviction and later received a presidential pardon in January 2025, after which he publicly broke with Trump over demands to release DOJ Epstein files.
