My Stalker’s Identity Now Proven!
Many of you know that I have had a stalker for several years now. This guy stalks everything I do including my social media posts, my books, my family, my wife’s workplace, our sons, and our friends, all in some misguided attempt to, in his words, “destroy Bohdi’s reputation and his business.” His name is Alain Burrese from Missoula, MT!
I have known who he is for a while, as have several other people who have investigated his actions. Unknown to him, I have had several investigators looking into his actions and his background. What they found has been very eye-opening!
My investigators include: a private detective, an active Green Beret, a stolen valor organization, connections in the Veterans Administration, a forensic scientist specializing in bank fraud and handwriting analysis, police, lawyers, and even two guys from government agencies. Together, there was no stone left unturned. Here is a summary of what they found (Note: some things were not included in this report, as they are still being investigated.)
The guy behind all of the harassment and stalking of me and my family is indeed, Alain Burrese! This has now been proven without a shadow of a doubt. Burrese has committed harassment, libel, slander, defamation of character, and fraud both under his real name and under various fake names, most notably “Lordus Sapiens” and “MTTKDGUY,” among many others.
You may be wondering how I know that Burrese is in fact the same person as “Lordus Sapiens” and “MTTKDGUY.” Well, let’s start with that. You have to stay with me now, as Burrese has gone to great lengths to hide his identity, but as with most criminals, he made a few fatal mistakes.
Alain Burrese wrote a book entitled A Monkey’s Guide to Faking Your Martial Arts Credentials under the pseudonym of Lordus Sapiens. Feeling so secure in his skills to keep his identity hidden, he sent me a copy of the book and signed it to me under the name “Lordus Sapiens.” Burrese also posted a photo of the inside of a book that he signed to someone else under his real name on a Facebook post.
I took both of these writing samples and got them to one of my investigators who took them to a forensic scientist who specializes in bank fraud and handwriting analysis. The forensic scientist confirmed, without a shadow of a doubt, that BOTH writing samples were not only written by the same person, but were BOTH written with the exact same pen! Here is the report along with the samples. (note: the scientist’s name has been scratched out of the report at his request. He requested that his name not be used unless this goes to court.)
In addition to this evidence, which is absolutely admissible in court, there is much more. In his book, Alain Burrese made another fatal flaw. On page 93 he attacks me (as he frequently does) but was afraid to mention me by name, so he calls me “Grody Flanders,” and “The Warrior Lifestyle Guru.”
He also carelessly mentions that he doesn’t want to use my real name because he is afraid of me suing him and doesn’t want any more phone calls at “4 a.m.” This may not seem like much, except for the fact that I have NEVER called anyone at 4:00 a.m. in my life with one exception – Alain Burrese! And he wrote about it under his pseudonym, “Lordus Sapiens.” Here is a scan of that page of Alain Burrese’s book in which he teaches others how to fake their martial arts credentials.
Okay, so it has been proven, both scientifically and through Burrese’s own words that Alain Burrese is indeed “Lordus Sapiens.” But what about his being responsible for the attacks on me under the name MTTKDGUY?
Once again, Burrese confessed to this himself and carelessly outed himself through his own words, openly confessing that he (Lordus Sapiens) is indeed MTTKDGUY.
Burrese writes under the name “Lordus Sapiens,” “Way back in 2015 when I posted my expose on Bohdi on Bullshido, I talked about how, as a martial artist, I was offended by Bohdi’s efforts to pass himself off as a martial artist. In my righteous indignation, I felt it was worth my time (and the time of others) to expose Bohdi to the “world of martial arts” for what he is — a fraud who lies about himself with almost every breath he takes.” Notice, this was written on Bullshido under the name of “MTTKDGUY!”
He states the same thing in yet another one of his libelous articles, stating while using the name “Lordus Sapiens,” “Bohdi makes this claim all the time, but never provides proof. Well, here’s what I know. I am Lordus Sapiens, and Lordus Sapiens posted the original article on Bullshido as MTTKDGUY.”
Fine, “Lordus Sapiens” admits to being MTTKDGUY. And the forensic scientist specializing in bank fraud and handwriting analysis just proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that Alain Burrese is in fact “Lordus Sapiens.” Therefore, given this confession above, Alain Burrese is BOTH “Lordus Sapiens” and “MTTKDGUY!” The evidence proves this completely, both scientifically and through Burrese’s own words.
But that is not all; my investigators found out much more than this! I received a threatening phone call at 1:15 a.m. one night and the guy (Gottfried Roser, aka Jeffrey Allen) left a two minutes rambling message for me. As this investigation was going on at the time, I had the local police come over and listen to the message and file a police report about the incident.
The police officer called “Gottfried Roser” or by his real name, Jeff Allen, and let him know that he would be arrested for harassment if this continued. According to the officer, “Allen then stated that he had no problem with Sanders and that he had been put up to harassing Sanders by Alain Burrese and one other guy.” The police report clearly states that, “Gottfried is working with another male – Alain Burrese.”
In addition to the investigators, I have also had to have my lawyer write a cease and desist letter to Alain Burrese. Burrese’s response was to laugh about it, and to call my lawyer’s office and threaten to, “File a complaint against them with the Supreme Court.” This came straight from my lawyer. My lawyer stated, “Burrese called the office irate and belligerent. He threatened to file a complaint with the Supreme Court. (my lawyer was laughing hysterically by this time). Then before he hung up, he changed his tone and stated that, ‘It will not happen again.’ This guy appears to be mentally unbalanced.”
He later called my lawyer’s office again and demanded that my lawyer’s office retract their statement. My lawyer flatly refused to change her statement, as it was completely true. She told me that Burrese “contradicted himself over and over on the phone and then when she would not give in to him, he stated, “It will not happen again,” and hung up.
Again, that is not all; there is a lot more evidence! Alain Burrese has never been satisfied simply libeling, slandering, defaming, and lying about me; he apparently gets some kind of psychotic pleasure by trying to reach out to me through emails in some twisted attempt to get under my skin, which he never has been able to do. He has emailed me dozens of emails under names such as Lordus Sapiens, Lord of the Monkeys, John Smith, Walter Mitty, etc., the list goes on and on.
And once again, Burrese made another fatal mistake. He thought I would be too ignorant to know how to trace the IP addresses on his emails. The interesting fact about all of these emails is that, when I traced the IP addresses, they all originated just minutes from Alain Burrese’s address. Burrese lives in the middle of nowhere in Montana. Since several of these emails were from “Lordus Sapiens,” and all had the same IP address, it is easy to conclude that Alain Burrese wrote all of these emails himself, as we already know that Alain Burrese IS “Lordus Sapiens.”
In one of the emails from “Lordus Sapiens,” Alain Burrese stated that he was “thinking of deleting his website because he had accomplished what he set out to do – to destroy my reputation and my business.” He went on to say that, “since I would not simply go away, he was going to reconsider keeping his website going.” Again, Burrese’s own words show his real intent, and character.
My investigators did not stop at proving that Alain Burrese is the guy who has been stalking and harassing my family. They also dove into Burrese’s background and what they found speaks directly to Burrese’s lack of character, honor, honesty, and integrity. Here is more of what the investigators passed on to me from their investigations. These claims came straight from my investigators and I am only repeating what was presented to me as their finding.
1) Two independent investigators investigated Alain Burrese’s claims of being a sniper and a sniper instructor in the Army and found that he lied about BOTH! He was neither a sniper nor a sniper instructor. He served as an assistant to the sniper instructor for merely 60 days.
2) Alain Burrese was DEMOTED in the army for threatening a superior officer.
3) Burrese was sued for defamation of character while in the army.
4) The Veteran’s Administration could find no evidence that Alain Benjamin Burrese ever used his veteran’s benefits since he left the army the last time. When I asked what this meant, their response was, “It seems most likely that he was dishonorably discharged.”
5) Alain Burrese has a history of libeling and slandering people and has been involved in these despicable practices for years, under both his real name, Lordus Sapiens, and MTTKDGUY, among other pseudonyms.
6) Alain Burrese has not been able to find employment as a lawyer since he was asked to leave his previous law job. And he has had two complaints concerning him to the Bar Association. (see screen shot below)
In addition to all of this evidence, I have several of my readers who Alain Burrese has contacted and libeled and slandered me under his real name. I have been sent transcripts of these conversations and Burrese repeats the same lies as he does under his fake names, most particularly “Lordus Sapiens” and “MTTKDGUY.”
I have even had a couple of readers (ladies) who were in tears, as Alain Burrese (under his real name) was harassing them to the point that they had to block him from their social media accounts, simply because they supported me and my writing. One reader from England recounted to me, “I told him I was in the hospital with my husband, but he would not stop harassing me, all because I refuse to turn my back on you.”
He harassed one of my authors, attempting over and over again to get her to back out of her contract with my publishing company. Again, she finally had to block him to get her to leave her alone; all because she was doing business with me. And he was telling her the same lies that he wrote under his fake name, “Lordus Sapiens.” Burrese even started harassing Sifu Al Dacascos because we are friends. I won’t get into all the things this guy did to Sifu Al, but it was despicable!
One reader put it this way, “Good evening Sensei. I have been receiving a lot of nasty gossip about you over the past three weeks, from Alain Buresse. In fact he has even slandered my character for supporting you. I make my own mind up and will not be bullied into choosing. Just to let you know I have blocked him from Facebook. Bohdi, his whole attitude smacked of narcissism, jealousy and the attitude of a petulant child. At one point he talked about how you were trying to suck out some of his awesomeness for yourself. I do not cause trouble, and tolerated his tirades thinking he was just using me as a sounding board to vent his feelings of anger. It was when he started attacking my strong ethics and calling me a hypocrite, he was verging on cyber bullying, I thought enough is enough. I told him I was in hospital and did not need this, but he carried on. I am a mature adult, make my own decisions and accept the consequences. I told him to grow up. I respect Sensei Bohdi and that you have NEVER tried to embroil me in this dispute and I respect that. I told him to grow up. Feel free to publish and I give you permission to add my name. I am not a coward who hides anonymously.” Christine Hodson
And, just in case you need more evidence, I have screen shots of Alain Burrese, from his own personal Facebook account, admitting to stalking me and my family and saying the most vile things about me and others.
On the following screenshot, Burrese is telling his buddy that he wants the attack on my wife and me to “come from outside MT…apparently in another one of his attempts to hide his participation in the attacks on me and my family.
In the following screen shots, Burrese is telling his buddy how he “wants to piss on me and put it on YouTube.”
Below is a better look at the photo of Alain Burrese in these screen shots so you can see that this is indeed Alain Burrese.
Alain Burrese
I could go on and on about the lies he has told and written about me, but that doesn’t matter; this report is more than long enough already. What matters is that it is now proven, without a shadow of a doubt, that Alain Burrese is the person who has been stalking me and my family. Alain Burrese IS WITHOUT A DOUBT “Lordus Sapiens” and “MTTKDGUY.” And those who continue to support him are supporting a stalker, a liar, a complete fraud, and according to several of my investigators, a psychopath! THAT is the bottom line!
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST AND
LET’S MAKE THIS STALKER FAMOUS!!
Let’s be real and put your real name on your writing, A Monkey’s Guide to Faking Your Martial Arts Credentials, Alain. Let everyone know just who and what you truly are!
Good grief.
Sad story. Glad you have it to a conclusion….
It seems pretty cut and dry. There’s the proof. I have been the victim of some anonymous attacks online myself and it is the dark side of the martial arts industry. Some people forget that as martial artists and particularly as instructors we are supposed to teach and guide our students to live a moral life and strengthen our spirit and character through rigorous training. While others seem to be functioning only on ego and jealousy. I have learned so much from the teaching of Dr. Bohdi Sanders through his books, mentoring program and YouTube videos. Anyone reading his work with a sixth grade or higher reading comprehension would clearly see that Dr. Sanders is the real deal. Don’t be fooled by his critics and imitators. Dr. Bohdi Sanders walks his talk and stands up for his beliefs. Best Regards, Richard Hackworth, C.E.O. of World Martial Arts Marketing
