San Francisco Police Department Quietly Reopens Suchir Balaji Case
SFPD Changes "Suicide" Status To "Open And Active Investigation"
The San Francisco Police Department and Office of the Coroner and Medical Examiner have quietly changed the status of the Suchir Balaji case from “Closed - Suicide” to “Open and Active Investigation.” After our researchers produced incontrovertible analysis of the video evidence I shot of the murder scene, what choice did SFPD have?

I have to credit the San Francisco Standard with some factual reporting here. It quoted OCME Director David Serrano-Sewell as saying that this investigation is “active and open.” But that’s where consideration of the facts ended in their article and the hand puppets begin.
Somehow, the Standard ignored video after video I published of the crime scene, but instead, they turned hand puppetry into a rare art form. Instead of examining the photographic and video evidence of the Suchir Balaji murder scene I published, the Standard went on to associate me with crypto grifters I have nothing to do with.
When The Standard could have avoided these embarrassments with the slightest amount of due diligence, it plunged headlong into conjecture and motives with zero evidence. When you get scooped in your own city on the most important story of the year, you should be rearranging your daily schedule for self-flagellation and self-criticism, but The Standard tried instead to move the discussion away from physical evidence.
Rather than consider this obvious discrepancy with the autopsy for a bullet entry wound in a downward angle from the forehead with no exit wound, the Standard chose instead to call me a conspiracy theorist. Rather than quote from the source document of my Substack articles with the video and photographic evidence, the Standard hid behind a request for comment while I was interviewing people at a Fire Refugee shelter near Santa Monica, California.
The Last Moments Of The AI Whistleblower - Suchir Balaji
I can’t begin to imagine the pain of Suchir Balaji’s parents after raising such an incredible young man as Suchir Balaji, only to have his life taken from him as he was about to take advantage of his world-class knowledge of AI to create a new Silicon Valley startup.
The Standard believes a large patch of black hair below Suchir Balaji’s door is not unusual for an autopsy, which says there was an entry wound in the forehead and no exit wound. Did Suchir have a large patch of hair growing between his eyebrows? Did Suchir grow his black hair underneath his door in his spare time? Apparently. the Standard believes in hair growing out of the bottom of doors and does not think doors growing hair is a conspiracy theory.
The Standard chose to ask me for a response when I had already left San Francisco and was covering the Pacific Palisades fire, sleeping in a fire refugee shelter near the blaze. This appears to be the new normal. Wait for the real investigators doing the work to leave town so they can’t immediately rebut your hand-puppetry journalism.
The Standard failed to state I am the ONLY journalist who produced video evidence of the crime scene, including the parents and the SFPD.
The Standard produced no visual evidence of the crime scene in their report and only criticized the only journalist who did as a “conspiracy theorist.”
The Standard also did not acknowledge the blood spatter analysis I performed through two expert AI systems, including Grok and ChatGPT, that talked of the probability of signs of struggle. These analyses also predicted the victim crawling through his blood on the floor to the door for help. The Standard didn’t mention any of this.
The new MSM ambush journalism M.O. appears to be to wait until the real journalists (who are actually going to the crime scene to publish real video evidence) go on to the next news story (where the real journalists are collecting real video evidence) to ask them for a comment for their hit-piece articles.
That appears now to be the best time for a hit-piece ambush, almost two weeks after I started publishing videos of the Suchir Balaji murder scene.
Again, I make the call to Elon Musk for Pulitzers for X to recognize great Citizen Journalism; otherwise, we will be reading stale and lazy The Standard hit-pieces for the rest of our lives.
X Needs Its Own Pulitzers
The Pulitzer Prize was once the gold standard of journalism. In the age of Woke, unfortunately it has become a symbol of Fool’s Gold - Fake News.
I have repeatedly questioned how China’s Deep Seek could leapfrog five billionaires and their pet AI project over the last decade within a matter of weeks without the help of Suchir Balaji’s training drive that went missing after his murder.
