Notorious namesquatter is threatening legal action

[endomorphosis]

Kye Gomez @kyegomez is threatening to sue openAI unless he is paid $10 million dollars for the use of the word "swarm" despite lying about owning the trademark, which is owned by some other company https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87278643&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch

He has previously also names quatted repositories named "sora" https://github.com/kyegomez/Sora, last year he was running bots to scrape microsoft bing image creator to re-serve requests against his own "unofficial" dalle3 API, and https://github.com/Agora-Lab-AI/Dalle3/blob/main/dalle3/dalle.py#L113, and has had numerous other complaints about name squatting see e.g. microsoft/unilm#1182 pypi/support#2928 https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/15sq2v1/d_potential_scammer_on_github_stealing_work_of/

He also ran a cryptocurrency scheme, purporting to pay people who contribute software services with crypto currency, sweepstakes scams pretending to give away A100s, statements that his company would be worth 100 trillion dollars by 2030, fake environmental carbon credit real estate holding company (before he got into AI).

I would very much appreciate it if someone from OpenAI's legal department, would reach out to the Maimi-Dade district attorney's office, to refer him for prosecution, because I am tired of the blight he continually brings to open source.
