Maurice Fitzpatrick for Mayor of Frisco · 2026

Reasons You should Say NO to Mark Hill on May 2, 2026 Whistleblower Alleges Fraud in Brand Engagement Network Inc.'s NASDAQ Listing under Ticker Symbols BNAI/BNAIW (Fraud & Conspiracy, Retaliation, and Deprivations of Rights) Why I'm exploring official candidacy for Mayor of the City of Frisco? Formal Submission of Mayoral Ballot Application for Mayor Frisco in the May 2, 2026 General Election How Retaliatory Legal Manipulation Led Me to Consider Running for Mayor of Frisco in 2026? Mark Hill's and Associates' Continuing Retaliation Against Me For Reporting Fraud Concerns Over Equal Access to Ballot Homeless Need Not Apply!

Maurice Fitzpatrick is the only non-stockholding, non-insider, retaliated against whistleblower, witness, victim, and injured party across multiple interconnected legal proceedings, spanning civil rights, corporate fraud, fraud on the court, jurisdictional and litigation abuse, who is actively challenging the legality, legitimacy, and validity of the March 15, 2024 business combination, IPO, and Nasdaq listing of Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (BNAI/BNAIW).

Hired in March 2024, under false and fraudulent pretenses, Fitzpatrick was unknowingly brought into what he learned was an ongoing conspiracy to execute a massive multi-hundred-million-dollar public company fraud followed by secret, manipulated and retaliatory state and federal court processes as cover to launder a false narrative, deliberately avoiding judicial scrutiny into the public transaction’s legitimacy. Now excluded and retaliated against, Fitzpatrick documents and publishes the evidence for public and regulatory review.

Despite documented injuries, conspiracy against and deprivations of rights, ongoing retaliation, I have never been offered genuine compensation for the harms I’ve endured. Instead, communications, including unsolicited contact from attorney Matthew Yarbrough prior to the January 16, 2025, BEN lawsuit filing (3:25-cv-00114), reveal that any compensation for damages to be extended to me was contingent on me aligning myself with the false narrative being advanced by Brand Engagement Network, Inc., Genuine Lifetime LLC, October 3rd Holdings, LLC, Due Figlie, LLC, Michael Todd Lucas, Shawn Lucas, and their affiliates. This tactic, to buy silence or force my alignment through conditional assistance, underscores not just the injustice of the conduct I witnessed and suffer from, but the lengths to which these parties have gone and will go to obstruct truth, tamper with evidence, intimidate witnesses, evade liability, and insulate the fraudulent business combination and IPO from scrutiny.
