Investigation
Inside the alleged Tate enterprise: ownership & revenue structure
The structure as pleaded in the operative complaint — the Second Amended Complaint (ECF 105), filed July 19, 2026 in Mitchell v. Tate et al. The complaint contains its own structural diagram — Figure 1, “Structure of the enterprise, centered on fundraiser.com” — with a key identifying every node, who controls it, and its role. The map below follows that key: nineteen named defendants and four Roe Corporations across nine domains.

Figure 1 — the enterprise as the complaint draws it
This is the diagram filed with the operative complaint, redrawn to scale. Every box below is a node the pleading identifies by name; the arrows are the routes it alleges traffic and money take. Each node links through to that defendant’s profile.
¹ Corporate-formation & concealment. Per the complaint’s own footnote to this figure: Valton Eason is the officer, director, manager, or control person of record for University.com TRW, War Room, Caputra, Matador, Courses Works, New Era Comics, and Legendary Courses (Wyoming); the Texas entities operate through the shared registered agent Gibraltar Monex, a resident agent that Eason also helms; that resident agent’s own resident agent is VLVentures, which forfeited in 2013 and is also helmed by Eason. Eason is likewise the manager and registered agent of record of Empire Legal Group LLC.

Editorial note
What changed, and what this page used to say. Earlier versions of this map carried several boxes as publisher inferences — Course Works, Matador Interactive and Nicholas Thomas among them — drawn from public records and docket appearances before any pleading named them. All three are now named defendants in the operative complaint.
A 231-page proposed second amended complaint (ECF 66) would also have named several third-party service providers. The Court denied leave to file that pleading at ECF 96 on Rule 8 grounds and ordered a complaint of no more than 50 pages. Those service providers are not parties to the operative Second Amended Complaint and have been removed from this map.
Nothing here has been adjudicated. Any entity or individual shown above — through the removal-request form or by written response — is invited to clarify or correct the record.
Submit a tip
Can you identify a Roe Corporation?
Four defendants are currently sued under fictitious designations — the “New Era” platform operator, the “Wudan LLC” wire beneficiary, the operator of reachtwr.com, and the operator of getfireblood.com. If you can identify any of them, or another entity, vendor or contractor involved in building, operating, hosting or financing any part of the architecture above, send it here. Tips with verifiable URLs and primary-source documents move fastest.
Allegations remain allegations until adjudicated. Every claim in the Second Amended Complaint is disputed by the defendants, none of whom has yet answered it. This map is editorial reporting of what a court filing alleges, and is subject to correction and right of reply on request.
