The Story

Documented chronology

A documented account

The documented account — told through the paper trail. Every claim below is backed by a source document.

Summary

This page is not the book, and it is not meant to be. It follows selected moments in order and places the supporting record beside them. Where a document establishes a date, an event, or a statement, the source appears with it. Where the fuller meaning depends on context, that context remains in the book.

The Record is the complete account: what happened, what I did, what I got wrong, what the documents show, and what the sequence cost my family and me. Use this timeline to examine the structure of the record. Read the book to understand the life inside it.

Chronology

Scroll through the chronology. When a document, recording, image, or published source belongs to a moment, it appears beside that moment so the record never leaves the story.

    Before 2014

    Before London Bailey appeared in a federal record, he was the primary caregiver in a family shaped by his daughter's serious medical needs. That history is part of the record surrounding the case, not an explanation added after it.[1]

    In the bookThe book begins with the family life the later case record reduced to a few lines.

    October 2014

    A trip to Brazil, a video call, and a series of text messages became the starting point for what followed. The communications exist in the case material; what they meant, and how they were later characterized, is where the fuller story begins.[2]

    December 11, 2014

    An FBI investigative report recorded Dana White's prediction that London would demand several million dollars. The same report attributed a criminal-record check to White's attorneys and described London as a convicted felon on probation, citing C265980. The Record's comparison of the state register, London's court-verified former identity, and the later federal PSR concludes that C265980 belonged to another person and was misattributed to London.[3]

    In the bookThe book follows how these representations entered the investigative file, how the conversations changed once only one side knew they were being monitored, and what later records contradicted.

    Point of interest · What entered the file

    The excerpt records statements White made to investigators and a records check attributed to White's attorneys. It does not convert those representations into independent FBI findings.

    Point of interest · Where the record stops

    The criminal-history allegation entered the FBI investigative file, but it was not repeated in Michael Mollica's later sworn warrant affidavit.

    Document · reviewed excerpt

    December 11 investigative record

    Document

    This report records White's prediction that London would demand several million dollars and attributes a disputed criminal-history check to White's attorneys. The allegation entered the investigative file but does not appear in Mollica's later sworn warrant affidavit. Names of uninvolved individuals and private sexual details have been redacted.

    C265980 identity comparison

    Document

    The state register identifies its defendant as Joshua Ramos and records a guilty disposition for battery resulting in substantial bodily harm. Listed gang-enhancement counts were amended, not addressed, or dropped. Compared with London's court-verified former identity and later PSR findings, The Record concludes this real case was misattributed to London.

    Donald Campbell’s documented background

    Document

    Campbell's professional biography documents federal prosecutorial experience and organized-crime task-force roles. The December 11 report attributes the records check to White's attorneys collectively; no located document identifies Campbell as the person who performed it or directed a specific investigative step. The Record's broader conclusion is cumulative, not an assertion of an undocumented individual act.

    December 29, 2014–January 8, 2015

    Before the office meeting, White was knowingly participating in monitored communications with London. Mollica's affidavit says White sent a December 29 response at the direction of law enforcement. London declined to discuss an amount by telephone; the affidavit records White introducing $10,000 and $20,000 as the first specific dollar figures. London later entered the UFC offices for the recorded meeting and was arrested after leaving.[4]

    In the bookThe book reconstructs the directed calls, London’s interpretation of their purpose, what brought him into the room, and what happened after he walked out.

    Point of interest · London's conclusion

    London concludes that the directed communications were used to turn a personal confrontation into an extortion case. The documents establish the direction, monitoring, sequence, and recorded statements; they do not contain an admission describing the operation in those terms.

    Point of interest · Evidence photographs

    Two images preserve how the cash was arranged inside the UFC office and documented in the evidence record.

    September 22, 2015

    After months of release conditions, changing counsel, and plea discussions, a federal grand jury returned an indictment. The indictment marks the formal charge; it does not, by itself, tell the story of the months that preceded it.[5]

    In the bookThe book lays the earlier offers, emails, representation issues, and indictment beside one another in sequence.

    Federal case: compact procedural record

    Document

    The indictment was filed September 22, 2015. London entered a guilty plea on November 3, 2015. On June 30, 2016, the court imposed twelve months and one day of imprisonment followed by one year of supervised release. Neither the located indictment nor plea agreement identifies C265980 as a basis for the charge.

    November 2–3, 2015

    London recorded a conversation with his attorney on November 2. The following day, he entered a guilty plea in federal court. The recording and the plea hearing preserve two different parts of that moment.[6]

    In the bookThe book examines what London said privately before the hearing and what the court record shows the next day.

    June 30, 2016

    For sentencing, U.S. Probation checked discovery materials, NCIC, applicable Las Vegas state courts, and Las Vegas Metropolitan Police records. The PSR reported one adult misdemeanor conviction carrying zero guideline points, a total criminal-history score of zero, Criminal History Category I, no pending charges, and no other arrests. The federal court imposed twelve months and one day of imprisonment followed by one year of supervised release.[7]

    [7] Source: Federal PSR findings and judgment, 2016view exhibit

    In the bookThe book places these later criminal-history findings beside the earlier FBI report and separates what happened in court from what was being discussed beyond it.

    Point of interest · The documented contradiction

    The PSR did not report C265980, a felony conviction, or then-current state probation. Its findings directly contradict the criminal-history description recorded in the December 11 FBI report.

    2021–2022

    In 2021, Ernesto Joshua Ramos legally became London Bailey. In 2022, a neighbor's camera recorded a federal agent from the earlier case at London's home. The name changed; the history attached to the former name did not disappear.[10]

    In the bookThe book explains why London describes the change as reclaiming his identity rather than leaving the record behind.
