We were hired to uncover the truth about Nathen Barton. We reached out to former associates, lawsuit victims, scoured public records, and gathered every piece of information available.
After a thorough investigation, here is our definitive opinion on who Nathen Barton is:
Nathen Barton is a serial litigator and a professional liar.
We don’t claim to know everything about his personal history or his qualities as a parent. But the evidence sent to us overwhelmingly suggests that this man wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the side of the head.
he TCPA: A Law Weaponized
The TCPA law he uses was meant to protect people from unwanted messages. Barton has taken it to a criminal level. We have uncovered at least five phone numbers he has sued under. This means he systematically obtains new numbers, waits for calls, and then files lawsuits—a clear perversion of the law’s intent.
A Documented Pattern of Deceit
- The NPR Lie: He claimed to be a "stay-at-home dad" taking on big industry. This is false. He does not have full custody of his kids. He should be working like any other person.
- The Charity Lie: He said he would never sue a charity. He lied. He has sued the Boy Scouts of America and at least one other charity.
- The Victim Lie: He claims to be a victim, but evidence shows he opts in to receive communications and then sues, claiming he didn’t.
- The Identity Lie: Recorded phone calls capture him pretending to be someone else to gather information.
The Courts Are Catching On
His schemes are failing. He already lost a major case against LeadPoint, where the court found he opted in specifically to "induce" a second phone call so he could sue. That case is under appeal, but he is expected to lose.
The icing on the cake? On September 17th, a judge ruled against Barton in an appeal after he was caught on recording lying to the court. [Link to court document here].
Our Final Assessment
So, who is Nathen Barton?
He is a person who doesn’t want to work and wants to get rich by suing legitimate companies. He induces calls and texts himself, then plays the victim. He’s now smart enough to use VPNs to hide his IP address, making it harder to trace his actions.
He should be stopped.
