Justice for Suchir Balaji

Hi, my name is Poornima Ramaraao. As most of you know my only son Suchir Balaji was found dead in his SFO apartment on Nov 26th, 2024.

Suchir Balaji was a whistleblower, he openly exposed OpenAi in X, New York Times and in his web site . A week after he was named as witness to New York Times, against OpenAI, he was found dead. His testimony would have impacted huge AI industry. He was so brave to expose them publicly that it doesn’t ADD UP to the reported cause of his death by the police.

His tragic death has sparked a storm of conspiracy theories, with some alleging a sinister connection between his untimely death and his outspoken criticisms of the AI industry including OpenAI. According to the cops, there is no evidence of foul play and it is a case of suicide. However, there seems to be more than what meets the eye. A public petition has been filed demanding a thorough and fair investigation in Suchir's death.

It's not only the death of our loved one, but also missing protection for whistleblowers. We want to bring out truth and ensure others are not impacted in the future. We want this to set an example how pursuits of all whistleblowers like Suchir can be continued along with community support to make the world better.

Suchir stood for the cause and fought for safety of mankind, he deserves justice, and us parents need to know the truth. We want to start extensive private investigation including Digital Forensics, Crime Scene investigation, talking to witness, Forensic Autopsy report. These efforts require significant amount of fund with the private investigator costs 500-800$ an hour and incurs several hundred hours altogether. Attorney fees is betwwen 1000-1500$ per hour. We have depleted all of our saving in the fight for justice.

Campaign target has been set by advice of the attorneys who have reprsented similar lawsuits.

Update on the case :

I am grateful for all the support I have received from each one of you over the past month. It gives me courage to continue to fight for justice for Suchir,. At this time, here is our sincere ask for all of you:

If you are able to, we would appreciate your financial support on go fund me. Every dollar we can raise will go towards legal fees/lawyer and finding someone who isn't scared to fight for justice and find the truth.

Thank you.
