Dear Dr. Minter-Jordan,

We have 11 days until you, on behalf of AARP, need to post a $2.2M bond to continue to discriminate and persecute me which can cost AARP almost $100K for the bond fee let alone putting up the $2.2M to secure the bond.

With how things work there, I am not sure anyone has shown you trial transcripts or pointed out that Mr. Flanagan perjured himself while under oath on the stand and/or during his deposition. I am speaking specifically to his not recalling firing another gay employee, not having a conversation about it and/or barely even able to recall their name until week two of my trial where he finally admitted he did have a conversation and he was the one who fired him, this after "not recalling" it for 6 long years.

I hope you take the time to review this because you will be making more history if you continue to appeal my lawsuit. Now TWO AARP CEO's would be responsible for my proven discrimination and continued persecution.

Reminder - my jury award is accruing about $400 a day (interest is over $100K as of this writing) and you are responsible for 100% of all legal bills - Mine and AARP's. Or you can stop the lawsuit that AARP has continually lost for 7 years including at trial and on first appeal and show all AARP employees that you want to look to the future not re-litigate a losing past.

At his October 2019 deposition, Mr. Flanagan did not recall the name or whether he was involved in the termination of the other gay employee (this employees name is redacted to protect another victim). During his first time on the stand Mr. Flanagan testified he didn't have a conversation about the termination. It was later that he testified that he did, both times under oath.

During his first time on the stand, Mr. Flanagan stated this employee termination "transpired earlier happened before I showed up." We have hard evidence to prove this is a lie.

Mr. Flanagan testified to not having a conversation about firing this gay employee, but during his second time on the stand for the defense he finally admits to having a conversation about it and to approving the termination - the one he hasn't been able to recall for 6 years:

Mr. Flanagan's testimony now directly contradicts his previous testimony from deposition and earlier in trial that he "couldn't recall," except he could and he did. He literally testified he approved the firing. He also testified it was "in process when he showed up" which as documented was December 2014. Only problem and the point my attorney made, we have receipts that show the (false) complaint against this employee happened in April 2015, not November 2014. This is from the lawsuit filed against AARP by the other gay employee Mr. Flanagan discriminatorily fired, which AARP settled out of court . . .

Mr. Flanagan confirms that this lawsuit would have been brought to his attention.

TO RECAP WHILE UNDER OATH:

• Mr. Flanagan couldn't recall this employee or if he was involved in firing him at his deposition in 2019

• Mr. Flanagan, who had the responsibility to authorize all terminations based on his testimony, testified he didn't have a conversation around this employees termination, but then testified he did

• Mr. Flanagan testified he didn't recall being involved in his termination, again it was "in process when he showed up", but the hard evidence based on an email from an AARP HR Employee Volk to this gay employee which was part of his lawsuit proves THIS IS NOT TRUE

• Mr. Flanagan finally, in week two of the trial, admitted he did approve the termination of this employee - it took 6 years to get the truth out of him

AARP knew what happened and in my opinion Mr. Flanagan's changing the "facts" of his actions while under oath is perjury to try to hide his misdeeds (its literally the definition of it).

I can't help but wonder if AARP and Mr. Flanagan had been truthful in 2019 and tried to settle this and let me move on with my life, what my life would look like now. If this lawsuit had been wrapped up 5 years ago, before it drove me to plan my suicide, spend almost $1M on legal fees and expenses and suffer incredible ongoing trauma I still suffer from today as this lawsuit is still ongoing and still fighting their discrimination 7 years later. Where would my life be?

In the end, they have used their tax-free member dollars to litigate, harass, sue, send me to collections, threaten, gaslight, all to try to destroy me and make me go away. If Dr. Minter-Jordan post's this bond, it will continue my discrimination for 18-24 more months. In the end, I know I will win as I have everytime in the last 7 years, but at what point does someone at AARP stop trying harm me and look to change things for the better - you know, like their marketing says they do.

The ball is in your court Dr. Minter-Jordan. 12.16.24 - you will let the entire world know what type of CEO you are going to be.
