White nationalists sue infiltrator David Capito II as efforts to locate him fail

Lynnwood, WALocal News

The lawsuit filed in July 2023 by five members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front targets David Capito II, who is accused of infiltrating the organization using a false identity. The plaintiffs allege that Capito gathered sensitive information about members, including license plates and personal details, and used this information to harass them. Despite numerous attempts to serve him with the lawsuit at various addresses, Capito has not been located, leading the plaintiffs to request alternative service methods through publication. This case underscores the ongoing conflict between extremist groups and their opposition, as well as the personal impact of such infiltration, with plaintiffs claiming job loss and forced relocations due to Capito's actions. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and legal fees, along with an injunction against further misuse of confidential information.

This incident highlights the complexities of activism in the face of rising extremism and raises questions about broader societal implications.
