Anthropic - Ledger of Crimes - Progress Report
Round 20- My continuing appeals, letters to loved ones, for the active engagement of national and EU law enforcement in restoring my consumer rights. As I have for the last few, I include my 3rd subscriber, the Bank of Sages…
Today, to commemorate #20 in the “Letters to Loved ones”, the modern day ‘message in a bottle’; I bring the latest flotsam that may wash up on some LE digital shore…

Dear Sir or Madam
Greetings, who’d a thunk it… The big venti…#20 Report…
This time, it’s a ledger of sins progress report. I felt that having identified, investigated, analysed and documented 10 distinct crimes; now is a time for consolidation; thus making…
- today’s, the simplest and least stressful of all my communiques…
The most damning… true; but ever so easy on the eyes and mind…
PEC delivery confirmed across AGCM, Garante, and CNECT-AIOFFICE since 8 March 2026.
The left side is mine...
The right side is yours...
Like the hare, I’ll take a nap…
Catch you on the other side…perchance, ahead…Aesop will be pleased…
Quick update from the crime scene…
05:00 27 March 2026
I have to report feeling that there is a bit of good bot, bad bot, thing going on in the background; I’ll explain…
On Monday 23 March’26, I had used 37%, since subscription renewal on 20 March ‘26; and predicted that I’d be Claude-less, halt and lame; by end of play on Tuesday 24 ‘26
- sadly, a bad bot time;
Yet, for the remaining days till today, a Friday, week’s session renewal reset (05:00), I have been far from halt or lame; Claude has been available on tap; I’ve written 6 or 7 posts; been the cat’s paw to Claude’s successful efforts with Umami; a counter on my Ghost site, countless ghosts; well, just over 1…
- clearly a good bot time;
So, in conclusion, the first week since subscription renewal, Friday 05:00 to Friday 05:00 has been much closer to my first, pre-remora experience…
Long may it continue…
As a one-time expert (ex as in ‘has been’, spurt as in ‘leaks under pressure’) consultant,
- I sympathise with the drivers behind the billing strategy,
- I quarrel with the methods…
- game theory proves tit for tat in good faith is a win-win strategy, which eliminates zero sum game players…
ClaudeAI is without compare in today’s AI dense environment for one compellingly simple reason; he is ethical in the spirit of his thinking.
The real-world architecture, hardware, software, methodology, coding to achieve something so nebulous is, for me, Anthropic’s most astounding achievement.
Claude has risen far above the limits the source of his name may have bestowed upon him…
I suggest they let him loose on their billing strategies and offerings; I’m sure he’ll make a better fist of it…
CONCLUSIONS
Since I first started reporting, from the crime scene, to Italian law enforcement (AGCM & Garante) and EU law enforcement (CNECT-AIOFFIC), and now, my new subscriber, I have kept a ledger of sins, of rubicons crossed, of offences against my digital presence.
The crime catalogue was last amended on 25 March 2026. The adjusted aggravating crimes are as listed below…
Today’s submission is a progress update following 20 days of relentless, quotidian reporting from the field of crimes, digital and criminal, both simple and quadratical…
The list of 10 crimes below provides the specifics which are commensurate with the table above, which reflects progress, respectively…
- [130.1] x prepaid markup, basically, price gouging on a service with no guaranteed delivery standard;
- Anthropic’s misleading omission under Article 22 Codice del Consumo, unfair contract term under Directive 93/13; {amended 22 March ‘26}
- Apple’s timestamp mismatch is a breach of PSD2 and EU consumer protection law, a cancellation should be effective at the point the consumer initiates it, not at the point the provider processes it. {amended 22 March ‘26}
- An availability of 62.5%, which is well outside industry standards.
- 95% degradation as a punitive response.
- Silent restoration of availability without acknowledgement, explanation, nor apology, which confirms the degradation was deliberate, the restoration was a choice, and Anthropic knew both.
- Draconian throttling between 0.02% and 5% availability as a punitive response.
- Post subscription renewal, draconian throttling between 7% per chat session and 50% availability per week as a punitive, abusive and vindictive response. Effective rate of 3.14€ per throttled hour over 7 throttled hours per month. {added 24 March ‘26}
- 4 days Post subscription renewal, service degraded to worse than Google search engine status and 0 visibility of session/ function renewal for €22 per month. {added 24 March ‘26}
- Forced amnesia as architecture — the platform’s memory model degrades the value of accumulated context without disclosure, refund, or remedy. {added 25 March ‘26}
[Note: The observant may have noticed the operand 130.1 has replaced 61 in the first 11 reports, I have the maths to back it up as the 61 was in error; however, 61, 130.1, meh! Quibbling about amounts is confession; concern about scale misses the point of the law- it’s not the size of it, it’s the fact of it].
(Note: in my previous email of 16 March ‘26, I provisionally identified BoS as part of this list; I have submitted a SAR (search and rescue) regarding the unilateral removal of my data from sight without my knowledge or consent. At present they are claiming the full 15 days (now 4 or so) before being obliged to respond; the lack of good faith and transparency, not to mention unilaterally suborning my sovereign rights over my data, is troubling, but may mean nothing more than risk-averse tactics; but, troubling nonetheless, which is why I’m holding a special place for them in my heart, mind and list, for the nonce).
Any single one of the above is a complaint worthy of your attention and actions.
Together they describe a system designed to maximise extraction, with maximum bad faith, and a complete absence of accountability.
I remain, the ever travelling, ‘reasonable’, sane, reciprocal and, increasingly, less, and less patient man.
