Law Enforcement Today Antifa doxer ‘AntiFash Gordon’ being sued in federal lawsuit for harassment – but he’s not the only one
CANTON, NY – An infamous Antifa doxer is at the center of a lawsuit being brought by one of his victims who lost his job due to a series of posts on Twitter that claimed the victim was a “Nazi” and “white supremacist”, and directed tens-of-thousands of his Twitter followers to “extort” the victim’s employer via death threats demanding the man’s termination.
But not only is this Antifa doxer named in the lawsuit – the company that fired the victim and the doxer’s employer are also named in it as well.

Christian Michael Exoo is a 39-year-old supervisor at the St. Lawrence University library, but those on Twitter know him by the handle “AntiFashGordon”.
And it was through this Twitter account that Exoo directed his followers to begin targeting & harassing the ex-New York Daily News employee Daniel D’Ambly.
Exoo had found that D’Ambly was a member of the group “The New Jersey European Heritage Association”, or NJEHA. While the ADL has labeled the entity as a “white supremacist group”, there’s not really anything historically controversial with the group at all.
As in, there’s no documented cases of violence coming from the group, no documented threats to any person or minorities from the group…the NJEHA has honestly just purported some racial-hysteria claims like white people are “earth’s most endangered species”, and some members deny the Holocaust happened.
But outside of some bizarre claims and theories, the group has seemed to only have held small rallies where they’d carry signs saying “it’s okay to be white”, and have passed out flyers warning that the “white race” may disappear.
Basically, just another racial-identity themed group (kind of like Black Lives Matter), minus all the looting, arson, rioting and assaults.
Nonetheless, this lawsuit being brought forth by D’Ambly alleges that Exoo used his platform on Twitter to spark some targeted harassment, which led to death threats, D’Ambly losing his job, and even resulted in his vehicle being targeted for vandalism.
Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that Exoo was allowed to carry out his doxing activities while using university facilities:
“Exoo is a self-described anti-fascist, notorious doxer, and leader of Antifa, who by doxing others has acquired a great deal of notoriety and infamy. Exoo’s activities are well known to St. Lawrence faculty and administrators, who allow Exoo to direct the enterprise from St. Lawrence property, from his place of employment, during his normal work hours using St. Lawrence equipment and information technology.”
This Exoo character is apparently not shy about his activities under the handle of “AntiFashGordon”, in which his bio reads as:
“I expose fascists via #OSINT, get them fired, de-homed, kicked out of school, etc.”
For those unaware, OSINT refers to open source intelligence, which is basically any piece of information that can be obtained publicly and without cost.
These could be things like what someone posts on their private social media accounts, white pages listings and whatnot.
Or, another prime example of OSINT is finding out Exoo’s father is a professor at the same university where he works at.
Of course. Another trust fund baby cosplaying as a “Nazi Hunter”. Why can’t they use their time and resources to solve hunger and poverty???
What a waste.

While collecting OSINT is legal, the information obtained can be used in an unlawful manner. Which the lawsuit alleges a variety of infractions such as harassment, stalking, discrimination (lodged against D’Ambly’s former employer) and even racketeering.
The racketeering allegation is by far the most interesting to dissect when in regard to New Jersey law.
Basically, racketeering relates to an enterprise of sorts that engages in acts like extortion in concurrence with other illegal activities.
So what the lawsuit has done is that it referred to Exoo’s Twitter account and followers as the enterprise, and the extortion was done through the followers by way of rallying under the direction’s delivered by Exoo to demand D’Ambly’s firing, by way of threatening violence.
They trust this moron as their library building supervisor

While it’s a legal stretch, since this is a civil matter, a compelling argument can be made (and the multi-page filing does a superb job at defining the case and cause).
St. Lawrence University has reportedly refused to comment on the case since having been named in the suit. Although, it’s rather interesting that Exoo’s activities of having people and their employers harassed has inadvertently resulted in the same happening to him.
