Tickled Page #6
I mean... like,
you know, stolen identity.
Stolen a social security number
of a dead woman,
of two dead people, right?
It said, "David d'amato,
39, of garden city,
plead guilty
computer fraud and abuse."
Nothing about the tickling,
nothing about the boys, nothing
about the identity theft.
Zero. Nothing.
David:
Once Fordham becameaware of d'amato's convictions,
his admission was revoked.
d'amato finished
his sentence in prison.
But I've realized that
didn't stop the tickling.
David:
So, this is 2002. So thiswho would shoot
these boys tickling
and then send the videos...
To Terri. That was a, that's--
because she,
what she would have is...
- Do you want your glasses?
- Back in the early days...
Yeah. Back in the early days...
Terri would have friends
tickle them and send them the...
They were amateur tapes.
- These are now professional?
- Well, this is...
- Look at the date on it.
- '02?
Look at the date.
- Is the "t" Terri?
- Yeah, it's Terri writing.
So that was during, um,
lock-up time.
Oh, in jail. I get it.
"David, a few other things.
Email... explain my illness."
Oh. "Tell him I'll pay
everything owed
as soon as the mono is better."
Oh. "Get headshots."
My god! Oh, my god!
"I won't be online for a while
as I am very sick." Oh.
- Couldn't stop.
- No. No.
David:
It seems thatsince the mid-'90s,
David d'amato has never
stopped finding elaborate ways
to get young men
to tickle each other.
seems to have dropped off the
radar around 2006.
A while later, Jane o'brien
arrived on the scene.
We've posted
this theory online,
and David d'amato is not happy.
He's hired not one, but two
private investigators,
one in New Zealand
and one in New York.
The message is clear. They tell
us to stop what we're doing
and that d'amato has nothing
to do with Jane o'brien media.
On top of that,
David d'amato has also hired
a New Zealand lawyer.
He's demanding
an apology and retraction
or else he'll see us
in a New Zealand court.
We're now being attacked
by Jane o'brien's lawyers
on one side
and David d'amato's
on the other,
both insisting they have
nothing to do with each other.
Once again, we're way
out of our depth.
Things get even more surreal
with a phone call
from Michigan,
where there's a very different
tickling operation
also being run by Jane.
Jordan:
David:
So, like,crime is pretty high--
- Jordan:
Yeah--- ...Here, right?
Murder, robberies, um, rape,
I mean, theft.
It's all up there,
especially for being as small,
um, as what it is.
We've made it now, uh,
on to the top 100 most dangerous
cities in the United States.
David:
Do you think on some level
Jane kind of directed things
here because it is a poor area?
Yeah, you know,
the poverty level, you know,
- is easy to target, you know.
- Mm.
Thousands of dollars
in kids' hands is...
That's a,
that's a big, big deal.
David:
Jane has taken a likingto one of muskegon's main
A group of young, athletic men
desperate for extra money.
Jordan:
That's whatshe was trying to do,
is break into the mma world.
Because it's not illegal
to tickle somebody
to get out of a submission
Like, she was trying
to pitch that
because she, like,
looked it up in all the rules
and everything.
But if you tickle a guy in the
middle of that ring
to get out of a submission,
you might step out of the cage
and get punched in the face.
Like, never in a million years
out of all my fights
would I ever try to
tickle somebody
to get out of a submission.
F***, no!
David:
As an ex-fighter,Jordan was paid to recruit
tickling talent in the town.
He's the only one in muskegon
prepared to appear on camera.
- What? What for? To tickle?
- Yeah.
Just 'cause, like,
she liked him.
Yeah, right. She...
He was a favorite.
- Like, yeah.
- Yeah.
Asians and redheads
are what they call premiums.
If you get those, like,
she gives you bonuses.
I'm Jordan schillaci,
and this is cet.
Uh, we're gonna be
having a discussion,
whether tickling
is effective in
a combat situation.
a tickle cell. Like,
where you get guys to come in,
"we'll pay you and you
pay them to audition."
No!
So we'd choose a hotel,
nothing fancy,
and, uh, the guys would come
in and hang out, you know,
smoke, drink, eat pizza,
f***in', and we'd hurry up
and run through, you know,
five, six, seven guys.
So you're... you were looking
after the tickle cell in
muskegon?
Yeah, they have them set up
all over the us.
Ohio, Michigan,
Florida, New York.
- I mean, they're everywhere.
- Right.
- And they're all for Jane?
- Yeah.
F***in' hell.
Jordan:
Well, that's wherea lot of people started
getting really
really upset, man.
Because all of sudden
these videos
that are supposed to be
just auditions were on YouTube,
vimeo, and every other
site you could imagine.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Nobody was okay with that.
One of the guys, Brodie,
like, his family was very upset
with him. It was all over.
Like, people just picked on him
and picked on him.
You know, he was underage,
still in school.
And it wasn't supposed
to go out on the Internet.
It wasn't supposed to be put up,
and, uh,
you know,
that just kind of sucked.
Because, like I said,
it took Brodie...
It hit one of the hardest.
Like, this whole situation
and then being underage
and his parents.
Who do you have to turn to?
Who are you going to attack?
No... Jane o'brien's a ghost.
Nobody knows who it is.
Jordan:
Cody-bear, no.This is Colton,
this is my nephew.
- David:
Hey, man.- Colton, how old are you?
How old are you?
- Three.
- You're three?
You're three? All right.
- I'm David.
- I'm Phil. How are you doing?
It's nice to meet you, sir.
I was really, really reluctant
when Jordan
And he's like, "this lady seems
straight and legit, mom."
I'm like, you know,
"these... these boys are young."
It's easy to believe,
but when you're an old mom,
you're a little more leery
for the boys, and,
I was very leery
right from get-go
that the boys were
gonna get into trouble
and this was not legit.
Jordan:
She has all the money inthe world, it seems like,
whoever it is,
to be able to do this.
But they're waiting for
that day that you rely
on that as a sole income.
That was her big,
I think, power trip.
us relied on that income
because that was our
only source of income.
We'd been doing it for so long,
we didn't think...
complete control,
basically, over your situation,
and that's when she
wanted to yank that rug
right out from under you.
David:
David d'amato. Have you
