After Nathen Barton’s early career, his story took a significant turn when he discovered a way to turn the legal system into a personal revenue stream.
The Backlash: Companies Fight Back
Barton has sued dozens of companies, including Walmart, LeadPoint, various collection agencies, and companies owned by Joel Delgado. However, his strategy of relying on settlements is failing as companies fight back.
LeadPoint: Successfully defeated Barton, winning $40,000 in sanctions against him.
Other companies have begun countersuing, refusing to be extorted.
The Lies Unravel
Barton has consistently misrepresented himself. He told NPR he was a “stay-at-home dad,” despite court records showing he does not have primary custody of his children.
Most damningly, courts are now recognizing his pattern of deception. As of September 17th, a Washington State court found that Barton lied to the court in a recent case and the Court of Appeals affirms Barton lied to the trial court to gain a financial advantage against another Barton Victim.
In another case against Starter Home Investments, recordings exist of Barton acting as another person during phone calls, a tactic that was exposed during a deposition.
