On this episode of the podcast, Amy Nelson shares the harrowing five-year ordeal her family endured after the FBI launched a federal criminal investigation into her husband, a former Amazon executive. Despite no charges ever being filed, the Department of Justice seized their assets, including $7 million, devastating their family financially, mentally, and emotionally. Backed by former federal prosecutors, Amazon pressed for charges of “honest services fraud” even though her husband had complied fully with his employment contract.

Over the years the Nelsons fought back, spending over $4 million in legal fees, while corporate giants and government agencies closed ranks. Their story exposes a disturbing alliance between Big Tech and the federal government, raising serious questions about unchecked corporate influence, prosecutorial overreach, and the lack of accountability from top leaders. Amy now advocates for justice and systemic reform, determined to prevent other families from enduring similar abuses of power.
