Now we’re learning more about this man who thought his neighbors, ex-wife, sister, FBI, and Department of Justice, were all out to get him.
It is important to note that the law enforcement authorities did not verify this information. This does not prove that Yoo was guilty of any crime or responsible for the explosion that destroyed his home.
James W. Yoo has owned his Burlington Street house since 1992. He is $3,700 behind in property taxes, according to Arlington County records. The address of the house is blurred, even though it’s available on social media. There’s still a lot we don’t understand about the explosion.
The neighbor said the house was once for sale, but Yoo “chased would-be buyers off with a knife.” (Zillow shows that the house was listed in 2022 but did not sell.)
Yoo’s LinkedIn page shows his animosity towards the police and federal agencies.
He says he was the “Head for Global Information and Physical Security”, CFIUS, from 2003 to 2003. Wikipedia says that CFIUS is an inter-agency Committee of the United States Government that examines the national security implications arising from foreign investments in U.S. operations or companies, using classified intelligence information provided by the United States Intelligence Community. Yoo was particularly vocal in her criticism of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s policy prohibiting Chinese nationals from purchasing land.
He claimed that his neighbors were also spies who wanted to harm him. He posted photos and information about his neighbors on LinkedIn.
He predicted that he would be the victim of a “surprise” attack on Dec. 7th, the anniversary date of the Pearl Harbor attack.
A post with hundreds of legal documents appears to show an individual who has a history of mental issues. He complained in the long-winded filings about being detained against his will at Rochester General Hospital 10 years ago, and that he was denied a firearm permit because of his mental history. He says he had at least one “well-check” done at home, and that his sister and ex-wife were responsible for getting him locked away. He filed a lawsuit against the hospital, alleging that his civil rights were violated.
The national suicide hotline number is 988. “THIS CASE IS A SLAM DUNK FOR THE FBI… But the FBI doesn’t care about JAMES CASE… Why? hashtag#FBIASIANHATE hashtag#FBICORRUPTION,” he wrote on the platform.
The U.S. district judge assigned to the case in 2018 wrote: “This Court has seldom if ever been able to dismiss sua sponte the action of a self-represented litigant who paid the filing fees. This action is frivolous and its accusations are so obviously ‘the result of delusion or fantasies’ that it can’t be allowed to proceed. It would also be pointless for the pleading to be amended further.
He said, “This is an indisputably frivolous action and it should be dismissed with prejudice.” The Clerk of Court is instructed to end this action. “The pending applications will be denied as moot.”
Yoo has also posted on social media that he may have committed suicide.
Yoo’s page on YouTube shows only images of his various court filings and complaints over the years, without audio or explanation. He claimed on LinkedIn that YouTube was manipulating his metrics.
He does not seem to be a fan of Donald Trump.
Gavin Newsom, aka Mr. GREASER, is also not a favorite of his.
You bragged about COVID in 2022.
COVID was their way to ‘track’ people’s hygiene and influence communication with those they were trying to smear as lying. They forced you to “work from home” during COVID. They penetrated everyone’s network, under the pretense of ‘working at home’. AI was used to track all your activities. They will fabricate stories and falsify your network traces.
This is a disturbed person whose rambling posts on social media indicate that he might have spiraled out of control over the past few months. He had vendettas with many people and federal government agencies and contacted them repeatedly. This means that he was known by the FBI and the Department of Justice.
The authorities have not said whether Yoo was at home when the explosion occurred or if he is the person they were searching for when they came to execute an arrest warrant. It’s possible that, despite being the owner, Yoo had nothing to do (though it is unlikely, given his unhinged posts on social media) with the events of last night.
