“I hope Danesh has good days,” Luthmann said with a smirk. “I hope he earns lots of money. Because I’m going to take it.”
That’s not a threat—it’s a legal plan. Luthmann is suing TikTok star Danesh Noshirvan for $20 million in a federal defamation case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
The case is classic defamation per se. Luthmann’s legal papers state the case unequivocally from jump:
1. There is no accusation more heinous under American law than that of pedophilia. The charge alone, whether true or false, carries with it an irreversible stain of moral depravity, public revulsion, and professional exile. Unlike other crimes, the mere allegation of child sexual abuse elicits immediate societal condemnation before any inquiry into the facts.
2. Nowhere is the reputational and legal impact of such an accusation more profound than in the State of Florida. In 2023, the Florida Legislature passed a law authorizing the death penalty for those convicted of sexually abusing children under the age of twelve. The measure reflects Florida’s categorical stance that criminal child sex offenders are not merely to be punished—they are to be extinguished. While focused on justice, this policy makes false accusations uniquely devastating for the innocent.
3. In a jurisdiction that now equates child sexual abuse with a capital offense, the deliberate and malicious act of labeling someone a pedophile is not mere defamation—it is a reputational execution. It marks the accused as deserving of death in the eyes of the law and community. The harm is not hypothetical. In Florida, it is terminal.
4. Plaintiff Richard Luthmann is a Victim of Defendant Danesh Noshirvan. The Victims of Danesh will no longer remain silent.
Luthmann served Noshirvan in April 2025. Months later, Danesh still hasn’t answered.
Journalist Richard Luthmann outside The Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City.
A Magistrate Judge granted him an extension, but even that deadline has now passed.
“The conduct constitutes defamation per se under Florida law, as it imputes to Plaintiff a criminal offense involving moral turpitude,” the legal papers say.
Luthmann accuses Danesh of acting with actual malice, claiming he “knowingly and maliciously falsely accused” him of being a pedophile. The complaint highlights that Noshirvan has also made similar accusations against others, notably including Lee CountySheriff Carmine Marceno. The papers say hefty damages are justified:
In addition to all available statutory, equitable, injunctive, declaratory, administrative, and other relief, Plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages in an appropriate measure and states as follows to the JUDGE and JURY:
A. What is an appropriate measure of damages per the law of damages and the facts of this case? Plaintiff submits that the penalty for the crimes Defendant accuses him of is DEATH under Florida law.
B. Accordingly, Plaintiff asserts the present value of his life is no less than $5 million as a compensatory measure.
C. Additionally, Plaintiff seeks TREBLE punitive damages because of the heinous, malicious, continued, and outlandish manner in which Defendant operates. TREBLE punitive damages would serve the important purpose of punishing the Defendant, but will serve the even greater societal purpose of DETERRENCE. Nothing to date has deterred Defendant from his course of action. TREBLE punitive damages will serve to specifically deter the Defendant in the future, AND generally deter others who would consider his course of conduct. The next Victim of Danesh could be you, a family member, a loved one, a friend, or a community member.
Luthmann says he is “buckled in” and his sights are firmly set on Danesh Noshirvan’s reckoning.
“This isn’t some Internet spat. This is libel per se. He accused me of a crime I never committed, and he did it to millions of his followers to hurt me in my profession,” the journalist said. “The more I report the truth about him, the less effectively he can engage in his extortionate WOKE Internet hustle. That’s the power of the fourth estate.”
Danesh Noshirvan uses the federal courts to sue, and doxxes the federal judiciary when it suits him.
The evidence is overwhelming. Exhibits include videos in which Danesh spreads defamatory claims to his followers—claims he later contradicts or admits were exaggerated.
“This is part of a pattern of Noshirvan targeting perceived ideological opponents by branding them with criminal or immoral labels to destroy reputations,” the legal papers say.
Multiple screenshots show a pattern of false public statements, harassment, and malicious conduct, including doctored images and AI-generated smear campaigns.
“If he defaults, I’ll take everything he wins in his other cases,” Luthmann said. “By his own making, he’ll be my debt slave. And I’ll love every minute of it.”
Good Day Danesh: His Own Lawsuit Is Worthless
Noshirvan isn’t just defending against Luthmann—he’s suing others too. In Noshirvan v. Couture et al., he accused Fort Myers plastic surgeon Dr. Ralph Garramone, his wife Jennifer Couture, and their medical practice of defamation, conspiracy, and emotional distress.
Apparently, on June 5, 2025, a veteran Southwest Florida trial attorney delivered an opinion of value on the case. Neither Danesh, the defendants, nor their representatives would confirm or deny the authenticity of the redacted copy of the document obtained from a protected source. Here is what Richard Luthmann asked Danesh, in connection with a litigation-related communication:
From: Richard Luthmann <richard.luthmann@protonmail.com> Date: On Friday, June 20th, 2025 at 7:01 PM Subject: Fw: Document Filing – Fort Myers Division – 2:25cv337 To: Danesh <daneshnoshirvan@gmail.com>, ThatDanesh Guy <thatdaneshguy@gmail.com>, daneshnoshirvan@yahoo.com <daneshnoshirvan@yahoo.com>, Noshirvan@yandex.com <noshirvan@yandex.com>, dnoshirvan@cox.net <dnoshirvan@cox.net>, dnoshirvan@valentinewoodworks.com <dnoshirvan@valentinewoodworks.com>
Mr. Noshirvan,
Please see the attached filed court documents concerning the above-referenced matter in which you are the defendant, and you are being sued for $20 million for libel per se for falsely and defamatorily calling me a pedophile.
Additionally, in a journalistic capacity, can you confirm the authenticity of the attached [OPINION OF VALUE]? It was received from a protected source, but I have not been able to verify its authenticity.
I know you have problems with the written word in English, as evidenced by your rampant defamation and libel tear on Substack, so I will take the liberty of explaining it to you:
The attached appears to be an opinion of value written by an accomplished Florida trial lawyer. We have not been able to identify the attorney.
Probable Outcome of Dismissal. On your best day, your case is worth $100,000, but is likely worth nothing.
From the letter: “In my professional judgment, Noshirvan v. Couture et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-01218, presents minimal liability risk. The Plaintiff’s claims are unsupported by law or evidence. His own conduct undermines his narrative, and there is no tangible loss substantiated in the record. On his best day, Plaintiff’s case may yield $50,000 to $100,000 in damages, though the more probable outcome is dismissal or a nominal nuisance-value settlement.”
Gaps in Treatment. There has been no course of treatment for you or Hannah Butcher Noshirvan, your wife, who appears in the OnlyFans commercial pornography with you and another woman, as per filed court documents and your in-court testimony on May 20, 2025, that you never filed commercial pornography model releases under 18 U.S.C. sec. 2257.
Truth is a Complete Defense. The allegedly defamatory images were posted by you, Danseh Noshirvan, and yourself—including on OnlyFans—and you and Hannah admitted their authenticity under oath in this case.
No Actual Malice. As a limited-purpose public figure, you, Danesh Noshirvan, must prove actual malice. He provides no evidence that Defendants knowingly lied or acted with reckless disregard.
Protected Opinion and Commentary. The reposts and remarks made are subjective and rhetorical, not statements of fact, and are protected under the First Amendment (Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co.).
Civil Conspiracy Claim Fails Automatically. Without a valid defamation claim, your conspiracy claim collapses, as it is derivative and unsupported by evidence of a coordinated agreement.
No Legally Outrageous Conduct for IIED. Florida law requires “extreme and outrageous” conduct for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. Reposting public content doesn’t qualify under McCarson standards.
No Credible Psychological Evidence. Your claim of emotional distress relies on a single, questionable mental health evaluation—no treatment, medication, or corroboration exists.
Daubert Issues. You have problems with your quack doctor’s opinion (that doesn’t comply with Daubert, and it’s basically worth as much as a Hallmark card). So you have no expert evidence to support your PTSD claims, which do not appear to be genuine.
Self-Contradictory Behavior. Your (DaneshNoshirvan’s) ongoing aggressive and combative online activity undermines any claim of serious emotional trauma or reputational damage.
No Proof of Economic Losses. You (Danesh Noshirvan) provide zero documentation—no contracts, tax returns, or witness statements—to support alleged loss of sponsorships or income. You’re actually doing better now than ever, which is great for my claim against you and the prospect of you as my “debt slave.”
Punitive Damages Are Unwarranted. There’s no clear and convincing evidence of intentional malice or outrageous behavior to support punitive damages.
Most Likely Outcome: Dismissal or Nuisance Settlement. The case is projected to end in summary judgment or defense verdict, with a recommended settlement value of $10,000–$25,000 for cost-avoidance.
I think I hit all the points. So I ask you, do you have any comments?
Also, can you confirm who your mediator is? Is it any of these people? I’m using the same methodology as I did to find your mediator, as I used your deposition location: YOU.
Earlier, you gave away that the mediation was South Florida-based on your social media posts and videos (which you’ll probably delete and deny ever existed). You gave away the Boca Raton location of your deposition in April:
Also, what do you expect to accomplish at your upcoming mediation? You’re broke and your case is worthless, right?
Why do you insist on telling your audience of over 2.5 million followers across all platforms that you will make “millions” from your lawsuit when you know that is a pipe dream and untrue?
Still, if you will tell your Woke audience how to avoid immigration raids and self-incrimination, you should at least know about Kastigar v. United States, 406 U.S. 441 (1972).
This case affirmed that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination applies across the board—civil or criminal, administrative or judicial, investigatory or adjudicatory.
You don’t lose your right to remain silent just because you’re in a civil courtroom.
SCOTUS (who you doxxed) was crystal clear: “The privilege can be asserted in any proceeding… and it protects against any disclosures that the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used.”
You and your lawyer accused me of the heinous federal felony of witness tampering.
So—if you’re being asked questions in ANY COURT about ANYTHING that could lead to government action, you absolutely can (and usually should) assert your Fifth Amendment rights. This is particuarly the case in the Couture cae where you, Danesh Noshirvan, and your lawyer opened the door.
Any other comments you have would be appreciated.
I expect to go to press soon with an update. If you respond to my journalistic question after press time, I will incorporate your responses into a follow-up.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention to this matter, and STOP HARASSING MY KIDS!
Regards,
Richard Luthmann Writer, Journalist, and Commentator
The conclusion? Danesh’s lawsuit is “probably worthless.” On his best day, he might get $50,000 to $100,000. The far more likely result? Dismissal or a nuisance settlement.
Why? Because:
The “defamatory” images were posted by Danesh himself, including from his own OnlyFans.
Danesh admitted the images were real under oath.
His intentional infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) claim relies on a single mental health evaluation from Dr. Robert Gordon, a non-accredited provider, with little history of expert testimony passing the rigors of Daubert admissibility.
There’s no evidence of lost income, contracts, or professional harm.
There’s no documentation of ongoing therapy, medication, or treatment.
The opinion slams the case as “facially weak,” noting Danesh’s continued online attacks contradict his claim of emotional distress.
Even if a jury bought the act, punitive damages are off the table—there’s no malice, no falsehoods by defendants, and no documented harm.
We asked Jennifer Couture, Ralph Garramone, and their lawyers for comments on and authentication of the opinion of value and other issues involving Danesh’s lawsuit. They have not responded. Here is what we asked:
From: Richard Luthmann <richard.luthmann@protonmail.com> Date: On Friday, June 20th, 2025 at 7:17 PM Subject: Fw: Document Filing – Fort Myers Division – 2:25cv337 To: Jennifer Couture <jen@Garramone.com>, Dr. Ralph Garramone <Rgarramone@Garramone.com> CC: jjfannin@duanemorris.com <jjfannin@duanemorris.com>, hwgurland@duanemorris.com <HWGurland@duanemorris.com>, aalfano@rolfeshenry.com <aalfano@rolfeshenry.com>, pt@ptesq.com <pt@PTESQ.COM>
Jen and Ralph,
Do you or your attorneys have any comments on the information below or the attached?
Today, I received information from a source that Danesh Noshirvan, on his social media, alluded to a “mediation” and “South Florida.” Is your case scheduled for mediation soon? I know from the court docket that it probably is.
I also suspect that the mediation out of the MDFL is probably “contracted” to the MDFL/Orlando-based American College of Civil Trial Mediators. These types of “legal contracts” are common knowledge if you know who to ask and where to look.
Do you have any comment?
Regards,
Richard Luthmann Writer, Journalist, and Commentator
Danesh tells his fans a different story from the one that coincides with reality.
He claims he’s the victim of a far-right conspiracy, and that Garramone and Couture are “evil racists” who “leaked revenge porn.”
His posts are full of dramatic retellings, often invoking imagery from fairy tales.
“He doesn’t just lie,” Luthmann said. “He’s literally Mother Goose. He paints himself as a prince and his critics as monsters. The problem is, it’s all fiction. Emperor Danesh has no clothes.”
Good Day Danesh: Cincinnati Insurance’s Malpractice Meltdown
As if Danesh’s legal circus wasn’t messy enough, The Cincinnati Insurance Company and its defense lawyers at Rolfes Henry Co. are now under fire. Fort Myers Federal Magistrate Judge Kyle Dudek recently slapped the defense with $5,000 in court sanctions.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kyle C. Dudek
Judge Dudek is no stranger to controversy. A recent Trump nominee now slated for a lifetime Article III seat, he has weathered attacks from radical left-wing groups. They oppose his confirmation because of his background as a lawyer who defended law enforcement while in private practice.
Beltway sources say his nomination is progressing, and the “snowflake noise” is only helping him.
“It’s going to be very hard for any U.S. Senator to vote against a distinguished graduate of Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University because he’s too pro-law and order,” the source said. “They might as well just punch their membership card in ‘The Squad’ at that point, and get used to eating lunch with Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib.”
For The Squad, Every Day is a No-Brainer.
Judge Dudek’s recently issued sanctions order was levied not because of misconduct by the Defendant, but because of their lawyers. Aaron Alfano, counsel for The Cincinnati Insurance Company through Rolfes Henry Co., failed to meet deadlines and comply with discovery orders.
Sources say the lawyers blamed Alfano’s “heavy caseload ” for the sanctions and the delay, not the clients themselves.
Florida Insurance Attorney Aaron Alfano
However, there was no declaration of ministerial error or claim of excusable neglect; there was just silence and sanctions.
“This reeks of malpractice,” said one insurance analyst. “The case is garbage, the plaintiff is unstable, and now they’re getting sanctioned while trying to pay him off.”
Behind the scenes, sources say The Cincinnati Insurance Company is looking to settle, offering Danesh and his ambulance-chasing attorney, Nick Chiappetta of Lake Worth, Florida, a six-figure check to make them go away.
Luthmann calls Attorney Nick Chiappetta an “ambulance chaser” in filed court documents.
This decision would be purely economic and is despite years of Danesh’s harassment and race-baiting, smacking of extortion.
“They think it’s cheaper to pay him than fight,” one insider said. “That’s a massive mistake.”
Luthmann agrees.
“They’re rewarding a cancel culture con artist and a crooked lawyer looking for his next mail-order bride,” he said.
Luthmann is amazed that the federal courts are giving quarter to Danesh, who sources say remains under federal investigation for doxxing six conservative members of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.
“I’ll gladly enforce my judgment against that settlement. Let Danesh pay me with their money. At least I know they won’t be able to use the funds to produce commercial pornography without 18 U.S.C. § 2257. He apparently admitted to that federal felony in front of Judge Steele on May 20,” Luthmann said. “I want to see underage children protected from exploitation by Danesh and others, like Congress intended.”
Nobody in law enforcement likes Danesh Noshirvan.
The long-term financial cost, Luthmann says, will hit the company’s policyholders.
“Premiums rise. Executives stay rich. The Cincinnati Insurance Company policyholders might fund a payday for a man who’s under criminal investigation with no viable claims,” Luthmann said. “I have no qualms with taking money from very, very stupid people because I’m not a shareholder or an insured.”
Good Day Danesh: The Fairy Tale Unravels
Danesh has built his brand on being loud, performative, and always the victim.
He’s posted dozens of videos reading children’s books and fairy tales, comparing himself to heroes while demonizing his critics.
Good Day Danesh: The TikToker tells BEDTIME STORIES to his WOKE followers.
The Snowflakes stay up late to listen to Danesh.
The Wokesters have breakdowns if they miss their stories.
In one video, he told viewers he was “just trying to be the good guy.” In others, he claimed to suffer from PTSD, hallucinations, and paranoia—all unsupported by medical records.
He’s also the center of a criminal investigation in Texas after his false online claims contributed to the death of Football Coach Aaron De La Torre. Police found no evidence supporting Danesh’s allegations. Still, he continued posting videos, calling his critics “pedophiles,” “terrorists,” and “Nazis” with no basis.
“Noshirvan utilized sock-puppet accounts and manipulated content to give the appearance of third-party validation of his false claims,” Luthmann’s lawsuit says.
