C001 (Lackawanna County, filed 2024-09-03) was filed concurrently with federal case C041 (filed 2024-07-08, same underlying Amos Miller dispute) and has continued to be actively litigated — including a 2026 motion-to-transfer-venue/order-to-show-cause sequence through June 2026 — after C041 was dismissed with prejudice on Dec. 16, 2024 on grounds the adopted R&R described as frivolous, meritless, and involving jurisdictional manipulation. Direct review of C001's Verified Complaint confirms all defendants named in C041 are also named in C001.

2024-06106 · Lackawanna County
About this case
Evidentiary treatment: This summarizes the plaintiff's own allegations as stated in the complaint or docket record cited below. It reflects what was filed, not a court finding, and is not a determination that the allegations are true.
Proceeding pro se, Tufano alleges that after he posted 2022 videos about a government enforcement action, Amos Miller and an allied media/fundraising network — the YouTube channel “Off Grid with Doug and Stacy,” Riverside Homestead Life LLC, and Maple Leaf Media LLC, later amplified by Fox News Network — ran an exaggerated, allegedly deceptive “under attack” narrative about Miller's own situation (including recycling a year-old article as breaking news) that diverted public attention and donations away from him, citing specific GiveSendGo and GoFundMe campaign totals.
He pleads deceptive/fraudulent business practices (18 Pa. C.S. § 4107), criminal conspiracy (18 Pa. C.S. § 903), and violations of Pennsylvania's charitable-solicitation statute, plus a request for pre-complaint discovery of donation and communication records.
He seeks compensatory damages of no less than $300,000 for lost business revenue and support, plus return of the allegedly fraudulently solicited donations. A materially similar federal suit against the same defendants (C041, M.D. Pa.) was dismissed with prejudice in December 2024; this state-court filing remains open.

Outcome and research status
Research status: Source-backed (direct LPA portal docket + case detail)
Research notes: Direct LPA portal lookup confirms the case remains open with no disposition entered. The Verified Complaint's own caption names 4 additional defendants not previously in the tracker (GoFundMe Inc., Off Grid with Doug and Stacy LLC, Riverside Homestead Life LLC, Maple Leaf Media LLC) -- now added; all match defendants already tracked on the related, since-dismissed federal filing C041 (same underlying dispute). The docket shows a Nov. 2025 preliminary-objections motion from defendant Off Grid with Doug and Stacy LLC (unresolved), an answer from GiveSendGo, an entry of appearance for GoFundMe, and a 2026 motion-to-transfer-venue / order-to-show-cause sequence running through 6/16/2026.

Federal Miller case was filed July 8, 2024 and had an R&R recommending dismissal on Aug. 28, six days before the Lackawanna Miller case was filed.

Federal source — dockets.justia.com ↗Public video statements
Public statements are displayed separately from court findings. Quotations are transcribed from the video’s own YouTube auto-generated captions and timestamped from the caption cues covering the passage quoted. The Strong / Moderate / Context tier is this project’s research classification of how closely a statement bears on the documented filing patterns — it is not a judicial finding. Any second badge names the filing-restriction factor the statement’s own words describe; it records what the speaker said, not that a court found it.
How quotations are marked: An ellipsis (…) inside a quotation marks words left out between two passages of the same video, which can sit some minutes apart. The omitted wording is not reproduced here, and a clip on the statement supercut plays the whole span from the quotation’s first word to its last — so it includes the omitted material. Quotations without an ellipsis are continuous speech.
they're lying again they're lying to steal money they did this back in July of 20122 [= 2022] when I was raided by the USDA my business they set up their own fake campaign to distract from me they did this whole Shop Story [= sob story] thing oh give us money give us money I personally didn't any of that no s story [= sob story] for me I didn't beg for money I didn't get a dime and they're doing it again Amos Miller the greedy Thief
States the central factual theory of the tracked Miller litigation — a 2022 USDA action against his own business, and a Miller fundraising campaign allegedly staged to divert attention from it — naming Amos Miller directly. The conduct described is the opponent's, and no filing of his own is mentioned anywhere in the quote, which fixes the tier below Strong. (Tier: Moderate — No filing-conduct factor)
Watch at 00:11 — youtube.com ↗they had a GoFundMe a few years ago where they made almost $200,000 now there was two more funds one of them was at $155,000 last night now it's up to $44,000 one was at $660,000 last night now it's up to1 $76,000
C001's claims summary records that the complaint cites "specific GiveSendGo and GoFundMe campaign totals"; this is the speaker reciting such totals 244 days before that complaint was filed. The figures as captioned are internally incoherent — two campaigns are each described as rising overnight to a smaller number than they started at, and up to1 $76,000 has a broken digit boundary. The quote is recorded because the act of reciting campaign totals is the evidence; the amounts themselves are unusable without a docket or archive check and must not be promoted as figures. (Tier: Moderate — No filing-conduct factor)
Watch at 01:11 — youtube.com ↗at most he got jerked around by his lawyer for 55 grand and he owes a $5,000 fine either way at this point he's stolen over $300,000 in total
The $300,000 figure is the one number in this video with an independent point of comparison: another researched statement, from a different video, quotes “people like Amos Miller that steal $300,000 from people fraudulently”. The same figure therefore appears in the channel's account in January 2024 and again years later. That is a fact about the channel's consistency, not corroboration of the amount. And within this very sentence the fine is $5,000 where 19 seconds earlier it was $50,000 — the two disagree and are not reconciled here. The tier is Moderate, with no filing-conduct factor.
Watch at 04:04 — youtube.com ↗let me explain what Amos Miller did to me for those of you still defending him my meek [= meat] business was rated [= raided] by the USDA in summer of 2022 as soon as I announced that on social media Amos Miller pretended to be rated [= raided] at the same time diverting attention from me and starting a fundraiser for himself so instead of helping me or speaking up for me he kicked me while I was down using my suffering and Misfortune to to fraudulently build his own wealth
Names Amos Miller, a tracked defendant, and states, in thirty-three seconds and in the first person, the complete factual theory that the tracked Miller complaints later plead — a 2022 USDA action against his own meat business, Miller allegedly staging a simultaneous raid narrative to divert attention, and a fundraiser built on it. It describes the opposing party's conduct, not any filing of his own, which is what fixes the tier at Moderate rather than Strong.
Watch / source — youtube.com ↗last week we had a department of a come in and inspect uh you guys know like Mr scammer Miller nonsense uh well he didn't want Department of a to do an inspection so he denied him and then they had to get a warrant and inspect his farm so me we passed our department of a inspection with flying colors no Fox News main page with a $300,000 GoFundMe for Frankie boy huh right I guess that's what happened when you uh I guess that's what happens when you do things a legitimate way
This is the Miller-dispute theory of the case, with the defendant named, 49 days before C041 and 106 days before C001. C041's claims summary pleads that Amos Miller and "several YouTube-based media outlets, later amplified by Fox News Network, mischaracterized an unrelated, year-old incident at Miller's farm as an active 'raid,' diverting public sympathy and customers away from Tufano toward Miller", and that "Miller solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars through GiveSendGo and GoFundMe campaigns." Every load-bearing element of that pleading is in this thirty-three-second passage: the regulator, the enforcement action against Miller's farm, Fox News, the GoFundMe, and the diversion-of-sympathy framing — stated as grievance, with no lawsuit, court, lawyer or filing mentioned anywhere in the video. No filing-conduct factor is correct and is the point: this is the grievance in its pre-litigation state.
Watch at 01:15 — youtube.com ↗so I filed about a dozen lawsuits Al together and every single one of them was dismissed by a judge as I said before I could even serve the opposing Council papers
both halves are checkable. Volume: 21 docket records exist on or before 2025-01-08, of which 20 were filed by him — so "about a dozen" understates the tracker, unless he means only the 2023–2025 federal/state run (C039, C040, C041, C042, C043, C044, C045, C046, C001, C002, C092, C093, C101 = thirteen), for which it is close to exact. Outcomes: a documented cluster of dismissals precedes this video — C042 (2024-11-13), C040 (2024-12-09), C044 (2024-12-11), C041 (2024-12-16), C043 (2024-12-30), the last of those nine days before publication. But "every single one" is overbroad on the same date: C045, C046, C101, C001 and C002 were all live.
Watch at 02:02 — youtube.com ↗So, we made a private website on botbytabbond.com. You guys can donate. Uh some of you suggested GoFundMe, but GoFundMe is owned by these people. They would just shut it down. Uh that happened when I I tried to start my business years ago. We had a GoFundMe and uh they actually took down the page and we had to make a private donation page.
GoFundMe Inc and GiveSendGo LLC are both named defendants in C001, C041 and C081 — the Miller-related litigation, Tufano v. Miller et al. This is a first-person, dated narration of the conduct underlying that defendant pairing: a fundraising page taken down "years ago" when he "tried to start my business." C041 was filed 2024-07-08 and C001 on 2024-09-03, so both were already on file when this was published — post-filing narration of the grievance, not a pre-filing announcement. It also records his stated reason for not using a fundraising platform this time, which is directly responsive to the same grievance.
Watch at 00:46 — youtube.com ↗One of you guys suggested I start a give send go. But you don't understand that the elite control all these platforms and this doctor is so connected that there is no way they are going to allow me to collect any money for what this guy did to me. You can't even leave a Google review. These people will continue to censor, shadowban, and harass me.
"Give send go" resolves to GiveSendGo LLC, a tracked defendant named in C001 (Lackawanna 2024-06106, filed 2024-09-03, pending) and C041 (M.D. Pa. 3:24-cv-01117, filed 2024-07-08, closed) — both in the Miller-related litigation group, the Amos Miller fundraising and media grouping. The notable thing is the cross-dispute posture: on 2025-05-06 he is publicly contemplating raising money on a platform he was concurrently suing in a pending action over that platform allegedly removing his campaigns, and he predicts in advance that it will not let him collect. Google is likewise a tracked defendant, though only later (C084, filed 2026-08-05), so on this date the Google reference is not yet a party reference. Party statement, no source offered.
Watch / source — youtube.com ↗um that it's the same website that um that Amos Miller fraudulently got $300,000 in donations when he faked he faked his farm getting raided by the USDA and then he got $300,000 in donations. Basically stole people's money. Yeah. Here I am sitting with my eyes gouged out half blind and I got 20 bucks.
This restates, on camera, the substance of what C001/C041 plead — that Miller solicited donations through GiveSendGo on an exaggerated account of a raid on his farm, with C001 seeking "no less than $300,000". It is delivered as an aside about his own fundraiser, not as commentary on a case: no court, docket or filing is mentioned, and the federal version (C041) had already been dismissed with prejudice five months earlier.
Watch at 11:33 — youtube.com ↗This is why you should never donate money online to anyone, especially if they're getting a lot of views. Because the elite secret society members, these people control all online platforms and they only funnel money to themselves. If you're not in the club, regardless of what happens to you, they won't let you raise money.
The Miller-related grievance in its general form. It is near-verbatim the framing already recorded from another video — "all these websites are for people in the club, members of the elite … if you're not part of them, they will ban your campaign" — and in two further researched statements. This video is another dated instance of the same statement; its value is chronological, not novel content.
Watch / source — youtube.com ↗When these clowns like Amos Miller pretend they got raided by the USDA and raised $300,000, he stole $300,000 from people and people feel bad for him. No one knows the truth.
The only named party in the video, and he is tracked: Amos Miller is a defendant in C001 (Tufano v. Miller, Lackawanna 2024-06106, filed 2024-09-03, pending), C041 (Tufano v. Miller et al, M.D. Pa. 3:24-cv-01117, filed 2024-07-08, dismissed) and C081 (M.D. Pa. 3:26-cv-02134, filed 2026-07-29) — all part of the Miller-related dispute group, described in the dispute-group record as "repeated litigation involving Amos Miller and associated fundraising/media defendants," whose defendant roster in all three actions is the identical seven names including GiveSendGo LLC and GoFundMe Inc. The quote also states the grievance theory behind that group in a way the case records do not: that a rival raised money through crowdfunding while his own campaigns were removed. Miller is a tracked party, so the name is not withheld. This research takes no position on whether the theft allegation is true; no source for it is offered on camera.
Watch at 00:41 — youtube.com ↗And this year when I tried to raise money on Give and Go for my eyes being botched, they took the campaign down. Yet you have people like Amos Miller that steal $300,000 from people fraudulently.
Dates a 2025 takedown of his own fundraising campaign, the predicate for the prospective suit he floats seconds later, and attaches a specific dollar figure to the Amos Miller campaigns. The tracked complaint is recorded as citing campaign totals, but whether that figure is the pleaded one is unverified, and no judicial finding supports the fraud allegation he makes.
Why this classification: It supplies the factual predicate for the filing threatened moments later and names a tracked defendant, which is why it is Moderate, but the statement itself describes no filing, threat or court outcome.
Watch at 00:30 — youtube.com ↗I mean, I think one of my lawsuits is actually against them, too. I could I could probably file a new one against them now for discrimination,
Two pieces of filing conduct in one sentence: he confirms that one of his existing lawsuits is against the crowdfunding platforms, and then says he could file a new one against them for discrimination arising from the 2025 takedown of his own campaign. Recorded as a statement of intent, not as evidence any such suit exists. The video cuts off mid-sentence here, so the quote must not be read as saying more than it does.
Why this classification: A prospective action against defendants he is already suing is real filing-pattern material, but the grievance he describes is a different wrong from the claims already pleaded against them, so repeat filing on the same dispute does not apply and, without a core factor, the tier is Moderate.
Watch at 00:51 — youtube.com ↗Some of you guys commented to make a GoFundMe, but I have in the past and they always take it down. Kickstarter, GoFundMe, Gibson Go, all these websites are for people in the club, members of the elite. These websites funnel money to those people and if you're not part of them, they will ban your campaign.
Names GoFundMe and, through a caption garble corrected in research, GiveSendGo, both tracked defendants, and alleges that crowdfunding platforms ban the campaigns of people outside a favoured group. It states the underlying grievance between a federal dismissal and a later action against the same lineup.
Why this classification: Moderate because two tracked defendants are named and the grievance matches what those cases plead, while no filing, court, case or lawyer is mentioned anywhere in the video and no filing conduct is described.
Watch / source — youtube.com ↗A lot of you offer to help, so I made a donation page. If you go to savefrankies.com, uh you can donate any amount you'd like. Uh we tried using G sendo gofundme in the past, but they always take down my donation campaigns for no reason.
Names GoFundMe, a tracked defendant, and alleges a pattern of donation campaigns being taken down, with fundraising moved to a self-hosted page as a result. It describes the counterparty's conduct rather than any filing of his own.
Why this classification: Moderate because a tracked defendant is named in the speaker's own words and the grievance matches what two tracked cases plead, but no case, court or docket is mentioned and no filing conduct is described. The second platform name is garbled in the captions, so the identification is subject-matter only.
