Mr. Speaker, You Took a Photo with the Wrong Guys

Dear Mr. Speaker,

There you were—standing tall in one of democracy’s grandest hallways, flanked by Mark Schmidt and Bill Maadarani of Cyberlux Corporation. The photo was crisp, the handshake firm, the optics… unfortunate. Because while you were gracious with your time, they’ve been less gracious with ours—and our money.

Let’s be blunt: these men didn’t just run a company—they ran a scheme. According to filings, whistleblowers, and a growing body of litigation, Cyberlux took millions in government contracts—our money, Mr. Speaker—and used it not for mission-critical tech or battlefield innovation, but to pay themselves, buy questionable assets, and prop up what appears to be a failing financial illusion.

They called it “supporting Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression.”

We might call it personal enrichment draped in patriotism.

Their filings read like a diary of greed: multi-million-dollar consulting deals to insiders, vague IP purchases from friendly shell companies, and a CFO resignation that came just in time to avoid answering too many questions. One of their subsidiaries appears to have served as a vehicle for internal transfers so brazen they’d make a mob accountant blush.

And now, while small vendors go unpaid and shareholders get ghosted, Cyberlux executives are walking Capitol Hill in polished shoes, grinning for photos with the third-highest office in the land. That’s not just surreal. It’s grotesque.

I’ve written before about how they took the government’s money and then took care of themselves. But it’s more than that. They cashed in on credibility—the kind granted by badges, contracts, and yes, photo ops with people like you. That’s what makes this moment so dangerous: not just that they might’ve scammed the system, but that they’re using proximity to power as a shield against accountability.

Did your office know? Maybe not. Maybe it was a quick “in-and-out” meeting, one handshake among dozens. But Mr. Speaker, ignorance is a luxury the rest of us can’t afford. Every time a defense grifter poses under congressional lighting, it sends a message—you can play the system, and if you smile the right way, no one will stop you.

That’s not oversight. That’s complicity by convenience.

So I’m asking—not as a partisan, but as a citizen who reads court filings and balance sheets for a living—look again. Look at who’s using the steps of government to launder legitimacy. Look at who’s shaking your hand while defaulting on theirs. And look at how close fraud gets to power before anyone blinks.

You smiled, Mr. Speaker.

Yours in public interest,

Jackson Holt
