The back story is probably too long to read, but one of the reasons I have not been blogging is some people in an organized crime group have been spending a lot of money to try to ruin my family. It took a while to sort of piece together the who, what, and why, but on March 5, 2026 I sent the following email to the Barton Receivership with regards to civil sec case 25-cv-00946 and criminal case 3:22-cr-00352-K.


--------------------------------


March Fifth Email


Hi Cort,


My name is Aaron Wall. In 2016 my wife Giovanna Villanueva and I invested over $3.375 million into a person named Christopher Angus who later confessed to being a criminal fraud.


Christopher Angus


Christopher Angus mugshot.


When he confessed to being a fraud he stated the money was "lost" due to bad trading, and Crown Police in the UK were too lazy to analyze the devices they seized from him, plus refused to give me access to his accounts used for fraud, suggesting that they somehow had GDPR protections.


Here is the details of the account Christopher Angus was wired to.

Beneficiary Name : Christopher Angus

Beneficiary Address 1 : 48 Kimmeridge Rd, Oxford

Beneficiary Address 2 : OX2 9RF

Beneficiary Country : UK

Beneficiary Account/IBAN Number : GB03 BARC 2097 4800 1171 88

Beneficiary Bank Name : BARCLAYS BANK

Beneficiary Routing Type : BARCGB22

Beneficiary Bank Address 1 : 30 Market Square, Witney

Beneficiary Bank Address 2 : OX28 6BJ

Beneficiary Bank Country : UK


Shortly after receiving the first wire, on February 4, 2016 Chris "joked" about converting the money to Bitcoin and stealing it. Here is an image from our Skype chat history


Christopher Angus buys Bitcoins with stolen investment funds. Theft by conversion.


Here are the wire dates & associated Bitcoin quantities if the investment were instantly converted to Bitcoin.












































































date USD sent GBP received BTC price BTC quantity
26/1/2016 $144,140.00 £100,000.00 $392.44 367.29
8/3/2016 $503,650.00 £350,000.00 $413.89 1216.87
15/3/2016 $465,855.00 £325,000.00 $416.88 1117.48
1/4/2016 $470,242.50 £325,000.00 $418.42 1123.85
2/5/2016 $518,490.00 £350,000.00 $444.72 1165.88
16/5/2016 $508,865.00 £350,000.00 $454.00 1120.85
23/5/2016 $439,500.00 £300,000.00 $444.29 989.22
8/9/2016 $324,624.00 £240,000.00 $626.35 518.28
Total $3,375,366.50 £2,340,000.00 $442.98 7619.72

The above presumes same day investment into Bitcoin, and no spread on the investments. There could maybe be a 1% or 2% spread on the FX and the bitcoin investments, BUT the scumbag criminal fraud Christopher Angus only paid a £1 fine for producing a 99% investment return loss on his alleged "poor trade" frauds.


Anyhow, Stella Huh has been trying to ruin or life and family for years. She hacked my wife's computers, claimed to be my sidepiece lover, claimed I gave her hundreds of millions of Dollars, stated she paid a fake witness to create a domestic violence case against my wife in Lisbon, any many other very dark things.


Stella Sung Ha Huh


Stella Huh.


Recently while acting as hacked Google Gemini Stella associated herself with alias Saskya Bedoya and sent my wife instructions for how to make Stella look like a victim and me the mastermind of Stella's fraud ring.


When Gio did not listen to Stella she instead linked her to a news story featuring a high-powered Florida lawyer who took down some big banks for accounting fraud and wire fraud. Within a day of showing Stella that story, Stella sent my wife a death threat targeting our daughter. I immediately called 9-1-1 on that, and am going to stop at nothing to ensure she gets locked away for her suite of racketeering criminal activities.


Stella Sung Ha Huh's Fake Google Gemini Ballistic Protection Death Threat


Stella Huh's ballistic protection death threat.


Today I just stopped by the Dallas FBI field office to hand deliver a complaint in regards to the above.


Dallas FBI Field Office Form Submission


Dallas FBI submission form.


If you need anything from my wife or I with regards to how we can formally file for receiving assets from the frozen asset pool just let me know.


In addition to the money they stole and converted to Bitcoin they have spent millions of dollars trying to ruin our lives.



  • We've bought about 50 cell phones, laptops, tablets, and computers to try to get around the hacking.

  • In early 2023 San Francisco Stella pushed our daughter off a couch and hurt her neck.

  • My wife has a bogus domestic violence case against her in Lisbon where the witness was clearly paid to make false claims.

  • We moved from Lisbon to California to escape an unending bogus domestic violence charge.

  • In California our computers got hacked & someone also phoned in a bogus child and family services call.

  • Someone knocked over the plants on our porch in California as an intimidation tactic.

  • Someone stole around $300,000 in gold coins and jewelry from the Concord, California home.

  • We moved from California to Washington to get out of the hacking situation.

  • The hacking followed us, plus in Washington state an anonymous person can call in a fraudulent domestic violence complaint, leading to a mandatory arrest. Based on that, I also have a bogus domestic violence case against me in Washington state.

  • Stella threatened to drain Giovanna's bank accounts, so they were froze, requiring an HK visit to reopen them.

  • Stella threatened to murder my wife in Hong Kong, so she wanted me to fly with her, so no contact order violation and another arrest.

  • Stella constantly promotes high-conflict divorce & is trying to ruin every aspect of our family. She even followed our daughter in Roblox and told her "you have no dad" while she was playing.

  • Between our time and legal counsel we have spent millions between the original Christopher Angus case, the fake DV case against Giovanna in Portugal, the junk DV case against me in the United States, drafting contracts to try to negotiate with the criminal frauds only to have them constantly do a "who moved me cheese" and waste our time and money


Attached are screenshots from Google Gemini, where the "AI" is not actually from Google, but is Stella Huh (AKA Saskya Bedoya) offering death threats, giving a guide on how to get Stella off of consequences for her crimes, creating a roadmap to frame Aaron for her crimes, etc.


Technically I still have a no-contact order in place from my fraudulent domestic violence case where it is illegal for me to contact my wife, so I did not CC her on this email. You can email her directly at __@_________.com


My wife's name is Giovanna Villanueva. Her phone number is (___) ___-____


My name is Aaron Wall & I can be reached at either of the following numbers: (___) ___-____ or (___) ___-____


We want to ensure the criminals are caged and would love to get the Bitcoin they stole & whatever they purchased with it back ASAP.



  • ​new images.zip​ - images taken from the recent chat with Stella Huh powered Google Gemini where she confirmed her association with Saskya Bedoya.

  • ​stella-huh-saskya-bedoya.pdf​ - PDF export which partially overlaps some of these images. the PDF offers instructions on how to frame Aaron Wall for Stella Huh's fraud.


Thanks for doing all you do to help victims of these scumbag frauds get something back & help hold the criminals accountable for their actions Cort!


Thanks,

Aaron


-------------------


Please Help


If I have ever done anything kind for you or anyone you know please share this post on any medium you can. My daughter and wife have been put through hell as a side effect of me trusting criminal fraud Christopher Angus. I owe them some upside for all the pain they have endured. The criminals have made it clear they are going to keep spending portions of the stolen money to try to ruin our lives and family rather than give back what they stole.


Only through this story spreading and going viral do we have a solid chance at justice, because the criminals have bought off many politicians and bribed many people. One of the Timothy Barton cases went all the way to the Supreme Court, and there are still multiple ongoing cases.


Thanks so much for helping my family dig out of this rut and doing whatever you can to help me help make things right for them as best I can.


I'm sorry Giovanna. I'm so sorry Aja. You both deserved way better than this garbage you have endured based on my misplaced trust in utter human garbage. I had no idea Christopher Angus was tied into an international racketeering crime syndicate until this year, but at least I now know why Stella Huh has hated me so much for so long - her keeping the stolen Bitcoin without being charged for her crimes required destroying our family.
