Explaining the Letter From JUDGE SYKES FRIXOU, Threatening Me Around the Time GNOME's Nat Friedman Lost His CEO Job at Microsoft GitHub and His Best Friend Got Arrested for Strangulation

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 05, 2026

In 2021 I did a video rebuttal to the letter, already public as the person who paid for that letter uploaded it to his site in 2023

The timing of the following letter is meaningful and shall be explained here in the future. In a nutshell, it almost exactly coincided with the arrest of a Microsoft employee (GNOME, they're all GNOME) who, according to a testimony under sworn oath, spoke to the sender of the letter about suing me. Showing this letter (with annotation) is critical and it'll be mentioned a lot again in future articles because this was brought up again many times in years to come (in various different contexts).

OUR CLIENT: MATTHEW GARRETT; Please be alarmed and scared! Just do anything we tell you! Garrett's GNOME associate loses job as GitHub CEO shortly after Techrights expose; I never stated this! No dash

The article by Kirsten England to which you include a link in the Publications

The Allegations; Nope, listen to his spouse. It was only a comparison or analogy, without any name.

The Publications are highly defamatory of our client: Apologise to a casual defamer who stalks you all day long; clearly projection, he defamed me so many times, including that same month; unlike his spouse calling him rapist? He causes harm to many people all the time, including to me.

pay your 24-7 stalker for sending you threatening letter; 3 days before the serial strangler, who MJG spoke to, got arrested

Notice the date (compared to the letter's). In 2025 (in a British court) I confronted him over his public statement that people who don't look for sex in FOSS conferences are "missing out".

The post is dated several weeks prior to them preparing a letter:

This is about Matthew GAFAM

Hey Roy! This is factually inaccurate – I went back and checked, and it turns out I left a 30% tip ($9.50 on a $31 order).

The spouse of MJG has since then said in public (last month) that he was a "rapist" (not our word, we don't say we agree either). He's not a noble person, he only pretends to be one. █
