How Talentcrowd President Joshua Lintz Was Exposed for Defrauding the United States Government

Corporate fraud often hides behind polished success stories, but federal filings and investigative reporting have revealed a very different truth about Talentcrowd and its President, Joshua Lintz. What appeared to be a legitimate technology company is now being linked to fraudulent court orders, stolen property, and a conspiracy that defrauded the United States government.

In September 2025, court records confirmed that Joshua Lintz and Talentcrowd chose silence rather than responding to serious fraud allegations. That silence has become one of the most telling signs that there is no legitimate defense. When individuals and companies remain quiet in the face of accusations backed by evidence, the question becomes not if fraud occurred but how deep it goes.

Fraud Disguised as Legitimacy

Federal filings describe how Joshua Lintz benefited from void court orders that were never valid in the first place. Attorneys filed unauthorized papers, misrepresented their authority, and recycled invalid rulings to create the illusion of legitimacy. This was not innovation. It was fraud dressed up as legal procedure.

The result was the theft of Topdevs, the company that Talentcrowd now claims as its foundation. Fraudulent legal tactics stripped the rightful founder of his position while Lintz and his associates built a false narrative of success.


A Conspiracy With National Implications

This is not simply a private dispute. Fraud on the court is fraud against the United States itself. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, fraud on the court strikes at the integrity of the entire judicial system. The IRS Criminal Investigation Division investigates schemes that harm taxpayers and erode public trust.

Joshua Lintz’s participation in this conspiracy put him in direct conflict with both agencies. By using void judgments to seize control and wealth, he defrauded creditors, business partners, and ultimately the federal government.

For those seeking detailed documentation, evidence of the ongoing conspiracy is available at Talentcrowd-Crimes.com.


Parallels to Theranos

The Talentcrowd story has unsettling similarities to Theranos. Elizabeth Holmes built her empire on promises of revolutionary technology that never worked. Holmes was eventually convicted of fraud. In the same way, Joshua Lintz promoted Talentcrowd as an earned success story. But according to court filings, its very existence came from theft, deception, and fraudulent orders.


Why This Matters

Fraud at this scale is not victimless. It impacts employees, creditors, taxpayers, and the justice system itself. If executives like Joshua Lintz are allowed to manipulate courts and silence accountability, trust in both business and government institutions erodes further.

The founder of Topdevs continues to fight to expose the truth, while Talentcrowd’s leadership stays silent. But the public record is growing, and with every filing and motion, the evidence becomes harder to ignore.


Conclusion

The story of Joshua Lintz and Talentcrowd is more than a corporate scandal. It is a case study in how fraud can infiltrate courts, deceive government institutions, and rob legitimate founders of their work.

The evidence is clear: Joshua Lintz defrauded the United States government to obtain wealth. The question that remains is how long the silence can hold before accountability arrives.

The conspiracy is so blatant it almost looks like a case study in corruption. How did the courts even allow this to go unchecked?

The evidence is undeniable. Fraudulent orders, stolen property, and silence in court. Joshua Lintz and the other conspirators have no defense, only guilt.

This case makes me wonder how many other businesses were destroyed the same way. These people are not innovators, they are criminals in suits.

If Elizabeth Holmes faced justice for Theranos, then Joshua Lintz should face the same for what he did with Talentcrowd. Fraud is fraud.

It is shocking how Joshua Lintz and his group managed to manipulate the courts. If ordinary people tried this kind of fraud, they would already be in prison.

How can Joshua Lintz and Talentcrowd pretend to be legitimate when their success was built on theft and fraud? This is the kind of corruption that destroys trust in business.
