Frank Parlato loves to play the role of the crusading truth-teller, the sage investigative journalist. But when you look closer you see the wrinkles and liver spots in the facade. Frank is a blogger. He has some blogs. He gets paid to blog, to come up with narratives to whitewash the crimes of the wealthy and politically connected. He’ll mangle, even kill, the truth if you meet his price.
Parlato’s latest hit piece on Danesh Noshirvan isn’t just bad journalism. It’s a collaboration between federal defendants and professional liars. Parlato is trying to lecture the world on ethics while standing in a circle with kidnappers, racketeers, and the architects of election disinformation. It’s not just a joke. It’s a desperate attempt by a pack of felons to silence a creator who actually follows the law.
The Sources From Hell
If you want to know if a story is true or not, look at who’s telling it. Parlato’s star reporters are a gallery of the legally and morally bankrupt. These aren’t just controversial figures, they’re people whose crimes made headlines, with rap sheets long enough to use as bed sheets.

Richard Luthmann: This isn’t just a disbarred lawyer with a sword fetish. Luthmann was indicted on federal charges including kidnapping, racketeering, and witness intimidation. He allegedly threatened his own wife to keep her quiet. This is the man Parlato treats as a credible legal mind. In reality, he’s a bottom-feeder who belongs nowhere near a news cycle.
Joey Camp (theresearcher2020): If the name sounds familiar, Camp was a primary engine behind the Big Lie of voter fraud in 2020. Under his digital alias, he helped manufacture the election fraud disinformation that nearly tore the country apart. He’s a professional cyberstalker who specializes in fabricating reality to suit a narrative.


Frank Parlato: Let’s not forget the man himself. Frank loves to gloss over the fact that he was hit with a massive federal indictment. Sure, he took a plea deal, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t commit the crimes, it just means he took a deal because the government had the goods on him.
Professional Liars Defending a Ban That Isn’t Real
These three men, all with histories of fraud, intimidation, and federal crimes, want you to believe they’ve uncovered a conspiracy regarding Danesh Noshirvan’s TikTok account. Think about the irony. A guy who helped push the Big Lie (Camp) and a guy who was charged with racketeering (Luthmann) are claiming a social media investigator is the one who’s shady.
They’re obsessed with the idea of a permanent ban because they’re desperate to see Danesh deplatformed. Why? Because Danesh uses public records to show the world exactly who these people are. The return of Danesh’s account isn’t a “glitch” or a “hack.” It’s a sign that TikTok’s safety team looked at the reports, likely filed by this very circle of grifters, and realized they were baseless.
Shitty Ethics Are the Brand
Parlato’s ethics aren’t just bad; they’re nonexistent. A real investigator wouldn’t touch a source like Luthmann with a ten-foot pole. A real investigator would see Joey Camp’s history of lies and realize his evidence is about as real as his claim of a 3 million dollar settlement with the Washington Post (Bitch, please), both are worth less than zero. But Parlato doesn’t care about evidence. He cares about the smear.
He uses his platform to give a voice to criminals because they’re the only ones willing to lie for him. This isn’t a report; it’s a mutual-aid society for people who’ve been rejected by every reputable institution in the country. They’re sticking together because nobody else will have them.
The Final Verdict
Frank Parlato, Richard Luthmann, and Joey Camp represent the absolute floor of digital discourse. Between the three of them, you have enough criminal baggage to fill a federal warehouse. When they attack people like Danesh Noshirvan and James McGibney, it isn’t because they’re doing something wrong. It’s because they’re doing something right: exposing the very kind of behavior that landed these guys in front of judges in the first place.
Parlato can keep writing his fan fiction. He can keep citing his felonious friends. But the public sees the Frank Report for what it is: a tabloid run by a mean old man.
