Introduction
My study is mainly focusing on theoretical statistics. I investigated the
underlying principle of current estimators, and from them, especially Hodges,
Lehmann, Bickel, Huber, and Lai's works, new estimators were deduced. Some open
up new possibilities in statistics. I am also interested in biology. I developed
a method to infer the metabolic directions by analyzing the metabolomics dataset
without requiring annotating the mass spectra. Another interesting recent work
is matrix dissimilarity.

Generating a dissimilarity matrix is typically the first step in big data

distance, Manhattan distance, Bray-Curtis dissimilarity, Jaccard similarity and
Dice dissimilarity, it remains unclear which factors drive dissimilarity between
groups. In this paper, we introduc...

Due to the hardness of order statistics, finite sample bias of robust statistics
is generally unsolvable. Monte Carlo method can provide approximate solutions,
but the convergence rate is very low, so the computational cost to achieve
desired accuracy is unaffordable for ordinary users. Here, with a comparametric
approach, the distribution structur...

In 1954, Hodges and Lehmann demonstrated that if X and Y are independently
sampled from an identical unimodal distribution, X−Y will exhibit symmetrical
unimodality with its peak centered at zero. Building upon this foundational
work, the current study delves into the structure of the kernel distribution of
U -statistics. It is shown that the kth c...

Descriptive statistics for parametric or nonparametric models are generally
sensitive to departures, gross errors, and/or random errors. Here,
semiparametric methods to classify distributions to discover the underlying
mechanisms of current robust estimators are explored. Further deductions explain
why the Winsorized mean typically has smaller bias...

QUESTIONS

Question (1)
Prof. Yigal Achmon has wanted to kill me for over two years, what can we do?
Question
 * Aug 2024

To whom it may concern,

I hope this message finds you well. Over the past two years, there have been
many rumors about me. I want to briefly introduce the issue to those who might
be aware of it. Everything I mention here is supported by related clues and
evidence. Feel free to share this content with anyone who is interested in the
matter. I will update my progress on Twitter at https://x.com/johon_lituobang
and on ResearchGate at
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Prof_Yigal_Achmon_has_wanted_to_kill_me_for_over_two_years_what_can_we_do
.

In such situations, the most important thing is to cut all the relations as soon
as possible, then you won’t be impacted. This content is already pubically
posted in many websites with more than 15,000 views in total and sent to more
than 100,000 scholars in email, that means, surely, sooner or later, everyone
will know that. Also, my papers haven been pubically deposited in Github,
Zenodo, ArXiv with related YouTube education videos more than one year ago with
intensive traffics. Everyone in statistics knows those papers. My priority is
also sure.

The source of the problem is Prof. Yigal Achmon, but if there are any other
people who want to be associated with him, I will have to spend time and energy
addressing that. The best strategy for you is to share this email with more
people; this will help resolve the situation quickly, and then you were coerced
or misled, you won’t be affected. There is already so much darkness in the
world; writing potential Fields Medal-winning and Nobel Prize-winning papers
should be a good thing, not the opposite.

Briefly, since April 2021, I worked with Prof. Yigal Achmon, an assistant
professor in soil science, helping him with various bioinformatics issues
without receiving feedback or education. I haven't been his lab member. He
became concerned that I might not continue working with him in the future, so
his research might not continue. Consequently, he found my faults in my courses
to delay my graduation in December 2021. Although I said that I could recommend
other people to continue my work in the future. I could not stop his plan and
left the school at the end of 2021. But I did not immediately complete the
formal termination procedures, hoping to maintain my relationship with the
Technion.

After leaving, I had more free time and developed some biostatistics and
theoretical statistics papers independently that can win a Nobel Prize and a
Fields Medal respectively. However, I was unaware of the Field Medal until April
2024 as no statistician had ever won this award. Prof. Yigal Achmon, who is
involved in criminal activities, was angry about my departure and began planning
to kill me in June 2022. At that time, I had not formally terminated my study,
making the murder plan has many difficulties in practice because my family can
ask the responsibility of the universities. He wanted to expel me first.
However, in China, all students are registered with the government, and as long
as I did not apply for termination myself, it was nearly impossible for the
school to expel me because they require the agreement from the government. To
circumvent this, he spread rumors about me stealing food and planned to submit
the fabricated evidence to the government.

When I realized I might be expelled, although I wasn't aware of his detailed
plan until July 2024, I briefly shared some troubles he created with several
teachers and explained the details to Prof. Harold Corke. This helped me receive
protection for several months. In the end of Februrary 2023, I thought over and
over again, and I concluded that Prof. Yigal Achmon would take criminal action
against me if he knew about the theoretical statistics paper I was writing. I
formally terminated my study due to Studying Difficulties in April 2023. Prof.
Yigal Achmon discovered my theoretical statistics papers in May 2023 through
illegal means, and his murder intent, from a previous angry murder, became a
robbery murder. However, because he had spread rumors to many people, he would
face consequences if he killed me.

He further spread rumors, blocked my papers from publication, and attempted to
collaborate with others to plagiarize my work and then have those plagiarizers
kill me. Using others to achieve his goals is his common strategy. Despite his
attempts, he could not plagiarize my papers due to the protection of PNAS and a
PNAS editor, Peter Bickel, one of the most prestigious scholar in statistics.
Realizing that plagiarism was not impossible, he encouraged others to do so, so
this event became a jealous destruction event and a preemptive strategy.

Although neither of these strategies can succeed, the pressure on PNAS has made
it difficult to accept my papers. I did not address all the rumors until last
month with UC Berkeley and PNAS, due to the murder threats from Prof. Yigal
Achmon and my lack of awareness of all his intentions. I am seeking help from
more people to mitigate the pressures currently faced by the people who support
me.

I hope more people can help me, and I will provide feedback. Additionally, you
should be aware that if you do nothing, Prof. Yigal Achmon may kidnap you. If I
have any issues, the academic world could enter a terrible situation, similar to
what is happening now at Guangdong Technion. Since Prof. Achmon began spreading
rumors, even without my efforts to refute them, more than 5% of Guangdong
Technion students had terminated their studies due to these rumors within half
year, and several teachers have resigned. People are not ignorant. This letter
serves to inform others that the students and professors at Guangdong Technion
are being coerced by Prof. Yigal Achmon.

It is not advisable to protect an attempted murderer. If he fails to kill
someone this time, he may try again and eventually succeed, even targeting
someone close to him, as seen in historical examples like the Soviet Union or
the Cultural Revolution. I originally did a great deal of work for him, and now
he wants to kill me.

I am Johon Li Tuobang 李拓邦. I was born in Deqing in 1994. This is a small town in
Zhaoqing city, Guangdong Province, China. My father is a top engineer for forest
protection, he won a national prize in 2014
http://app.xjrb.com/print.php?contentid=255113. My mother is a senior English
teacher in a rural middle school.

My middle school is Deqing Xiangshan middle school. I have studied Chinese
handwriting and painting since I was a kid and love Chinese culture. In 2007 I
found that the effect of using commercially available Chinese handwriting paper
to practice traditional handwriting was not as good as using paper made by
bamboo, I then studied the knowledge with many Chinese artists, and found that
it was because the popular used Chinese traditional handwriting papers were
similar to that used in Qing dynasty (1636-1912). However, many artists are more
interested in studying the handwriting style of Song dynasty (960-1279), which
methods of producing papers are very different from those of the Qing dynasty.
After realizing this gap, I searched related materials and contacted a factory
to try to mimic the papers of Song dynasty (that factory produced a type of
paper that is about 60% similar to the Song Dynasty paper). With several trials,
in 2009, I successfully almost completely recovered one type of Song Dynasty
paper (there are several types of papers popular at that time) and then started
to sell that type of paper online and got many customers. Many of them are
famous artists and from the best art universities in China. I probably opened a
new small market in handwriting papers at that time.

I was admitted to Guangdong Zhaoqing Middle School in 2010, which has the best
high school in Zhaoqing and a top-ranking high school in Guangdong Province. My
health condition has been poor since 2013, and my sleep is also very poor. I
usually only wake up at noon or even in the afternoon. Especially during 2013 to
2014, my mental state was extremely poor. I subsequently self-studied a great
deal about biology and medicine. I have studied the classic textbook of
molecular biology, molecular biology of the cell. Because I considered going to
a US university, I self-studied most American high school courses and college
courses related to the AP exams. In April 2017, I suffered from heart failure
(ejection fraction: 32%) due to long-term use of metoprolol. My case is very
rare because metoprolol itself is a classic drug for heart failure. I then
studied the relevant literature, speculated on several possible mechanisms, and
successfully cured the disease, which has a very low cure rate, two years later.
I took the Chinese university entrance exam, Gaokao, in June 2017. I ranked in
the top 15% among all students who study science in Guangdong province, and
enrolled at Guangdong Pharmaceutical University because I want to study pharmacy
and one of my aunts was a physician at the affiliated hospital of Guangdong
Pharmaceutical University and also a teacher at that university. My ejection
fraction had returned to normal by then, but my health condition was still poor.
When I arrived at the campus, I realized that my health condition could not
tolerate the school life of taking courses every day, so I terminated the study.

In 2018, PNAS published a series of comments and papers, discussing the
replicability and reproducibility issue in science. At that time, I considered a
nonparametric consistent robust mean estimator as I knew current robust mean
estimators were all highly biased under skewed distributions, and thus, the
replicability is poor in NAS's definition. Also, robustness is required for
replicability as discussed. My first attempt is using some distances like
Stahel-Donoho distance to detect the outliers and then removing them and then
processing them with classical statistics. However, after a long time, I started
to realize that this way is essentially the same as trimmed mean, and I could
not find any possible directions (for me, those distributional robustness papers
were too hard at that time and I wasn't aware of those research), so this
research project had been suspended.

In 2018 June, I took the Gaokao again. This time I ranked in the top 5%, and was
subsequently admitted to Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. This
is a university in Shantou, Guangdong Province with many Technion professors
visiting regularly. My style is very aligned with Technion. My major in
Guangdong Technion is biotechnology and food engineering. I met with many kind
and wise Technion professors that are helpful for my education, e.g, Susan
Zilber, Ron Aharoni, etc. I had many talks with Prof. Ori Lahav, the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies at that time. He and Prof. Eli Aljadeff established a
program that I can take some pure math courses in the math program which helped
my math towards maturity. I studied biostatistics and theoretical statistics by
myself for interest.

Since April 2021, I had worked with a soil science assistant professor, Prof.
Yigal Achmon, helping him with some bioinformatics issues. I have never been his
lab member and never received any payment for my work. During the work, he did
not have any direct bioinformatics skills nor conceptual nor ideas contribution
to me. Instead, he made numerous astonishing mistakes and did not consider my
professional suggestions. This was already confirmed by himself during a talk in
June 2024 and I attached the recording in the google drive link.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WJnSKHEkwAoHq-1a7dIEoK5JMj4b_Oj3/view?usp=sharing

However, because I did so well, he worried that I would leave Guangdong Technion
soon and no one could continue my work. He said “you will be very busy, you
won’t have time”. Then he united with a microbiome lab manager, Dr. Alex
Samusev, to find my faults in a lab and expel me from that lab to delay my
graduation. This is his academic freedom and I respect that. I realized that he
was worried that I wouldn’t work with him in the future, I explained to him that
I have an interest in his soil pest management as my father is a forest pest
management engineer. I developed an interest when I was a kid by reading his
textbooks. Also, I explained to him that my research would easily get much
attention and so I hope his research quality can meet a certain level otherwise
someone might find those issues and it doesn't deserve that. I further explained
that even if I didn’t have the time, I can recommend other people to do that
work. Additionally, I planned to teach a bioinformatics course titled "Community
Analysis of Microbiota" to students at Guangdong Technion. I had this plan since
June 2021 and had already sent him the syllabus in September 2021.

Despite many talks in December 2021, Prof. Yigal Achmon continued to find my
faults by saying bad words in front of Dr. Alex Samusev and let him find my
faults. This is his typical strategy, fabricating rumors saying that I didn’t
respect someone, and let those guys become his weapon and find my faults. I am
generally not interested in those weapons encouraged by him. Dr. Alex Samusev
treated me well before November 2021 Prof. Yigal Achmon was involved, but his
character is very easy to be manipulated and very care about whether others
respect him. Once he received Prof. Yigal Achmon’s rumors that I didn’t respect
him, he paid much attention to me and he found more clues that seemed to justify
those rumors, and then he became angry and a Prof. Yigal Achmon’s weapon, he
even found my faults in other courses that are totally unrelated.

What he wants at that time was already much more than having someone to help him
with the data analysis works. He started to pretend that he is good in
bioinformatics in front of others since May 2021. At that time, he planned to
use my works to pretend that those were done by himself. Mis-claiming other
people's work was already a plan for him at that time. So, since I worked with
him in April 2021, a conflict is already inevitable.

The details of those methods they found my faults are very complex, but the
result is that after that, I suffered a severe PTSD. I had severe insomnia, and
repeated memories of those trauma. I worked with Dr. Mingxun Wang when he was a
post doctor in UCSD since November 2021. He invited me to do something in his
MassQL, and be a coauthor in that paper. He is a famous bioinformation, often
published in top journals. I initially accepted that, however, after that, he
found an assistant professor position in UC Riverside and I started to be afraid
of him because Prof. Yigal Achmon was also an assistant professor. When he sent
me the formal confirmation of the author list in June 2022, I didn't check the
email on time and partially due to the fear of the title of assistant professor.

That seems ridiculous now of course, but this is my mental state at that time,
due to many many complex trauma from Prof. Yigal Achmon. This symptom, afraid of
any titles related to the trauma is a typical PTSD symptom. I was already 27
years old at that time, and could not even get an undergraduate degree due to
this guy.

At the end of 2021, I left Guangdong Technion. After that, I came back to school
several times to attend two exams and visit friends. I stayed in my rental room
in Shantou to prepare my biostatistics and theoretical statistics papers all by
myself. These papers stem from a rethought of how to improve the replicability
in science. I never talked with any other people besides my families and the
work was done in a highly credential manner. I considered transferring to
Central South University of Forestry and Technology in January 2022, because my
father was graduated from this university and still has close relation to that.
However, I was later told that in China, transfer as a senior isn’t allowed,
similar to many other western universities. I found it was too difficult to find
a university that is willing to accept me because I leave for such reasons. So I
considered publishing a good statistics paper then finding someone who might
help me with this issue.

My first consideration is how to improve the replicability in biostatistics. My
first attempt is metabolic pathways. This is an old question, everyone have done
some metabolomics analysis know that there are two main gaps in this area, one,
there are many pathways haven't found, second, there are many mass spectra
cannot be associated with the corresponding chemical structures. MassQL is a
mass spectra language that can be used to classify the chemical class of a
spectra. Its super flexibility lets me realize that, in this area, there is no
much things that can be done. After several days thought, I developed a method
to infer the metabolic directions and magnitudes based on moment differences of
mass-weighted intensity distributions. I immediately realized that this is a
potential Nobel Prize-winning paper. However, at that time, my mental condition
was very poor. I had Asperger symptom and my PTSD further amplified the symptom.
I was afraid that such a Nobel Prize would totally destroy my normal life. Then,
I transferred the materials to a U-disk and deleted all related materials in my
computer.

After that, I considered a matrix dissimilarity based on differences in moments
and sparsity. My original plan was working with Prof. Mingxun Wang with this
paper, however, after my papers can be shared to him, he found an assistant
professor position in UC Riverside and I started to be afraid of him because
Prof. Yigal Achmon was also an assistant professor.

These experience let me completely not trust anyone, and hardly work with
anyone. I then changed my direction from biostatistics to theoretical
statistics, which is mainly math and mostly done by a single author.

In March and April 2022, due to the consideration of a suitable mean estimator
in matrix dissimilarity, and the hope of publishing in PNAS, which has the
fastest processing speed among all top journals, I reviewed the contemporary
progress in robust statistics. One PNAS brief report "Cheap robust learning of
data anomalies with analytically solvable entropic outlier sparsification"
reminded the previous attempt for a nonparametric consistent robust mean
estimator. Another PNAS comment "Taylor's law and heavy tailed distribution"
reminded me there is a type of scale estimator based on pairwise differences.
After several weeks' thought, I proposed recombined mean and quantile mean as
near-consistent mean estimators for unimodal distributions, and using the kernel
distribution to achieve robustness for central moments. Also, I proposed a
primary version of binomial mean, which is based on the orderliness of quantile
inequalities in unimodal distributions, but at that time the related theorems
were not established. I used Google Scholar results to weight the biases
computed. I planned to transfer to Columbia University at that time.

On May 19th 2022, he sent a message to me to ask for the possibility of
continuing the work and wished me every success. I didn't know he was saying the
opposite. I was mistaken with him that he would stop finding my faults, so I
stopped the plan of transferring to Columbia University. I later submitted an
unpolished statistical draft to PNAS in June 2022 due to intensive pushing and
misunderstandings from my families. Before submission, to avoid a similar
situation as the Nobel-winning paper, I checked the public impact of the highest
prize in statistics, COPSS presidents' award, I found that it has very little
public impact. No matter in China or in Western Society, almost no one besides
statistician knows this prize. This makes me feel safe and not worry the
disruption of my normal life.

In my submission, I selected that PNAS comment's related authors as reviewers
and clearly stated the contribution of them. Although I didn't have any titles,
the PNAS editor, Peter Bickel, didn't care about that. Instead, he passed the
initial review within ten minutes as I clearly stated the ground-breaking role
of the newly designed recombined estimators. The PNAS editor's comments greatly
improved the quality and clarity of my papers and more importantly, restored me
the trust to other people.

I have publicly posted my papers in GitHub since June 2022, submitted to
preprints since July 2023, and posted education videos in YouTube since January
2024. Those contents have intensive traffic and nearly every professor in
statistics knows that, I am sure you are aware of those papers.
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Johon-Li-Tuobang-litabang Some of these
papers are prepared within several days and are drafts due to the worry of being
plagiarized.

Prof. Yigal Achmon became Guangdong Technion associate professor in the summer
of 2022. He has been very angry about my leaving, he coerced someone to track me
and planned to murder me since June 2022. However, I was still registered as a
Guangdong Technion student at that time, so he felt it was difficult to murder a
student. He let someone fabricate rumors about stealing food from October 2022.
Although I wasn't aware all of his intentions until July 2024. I found some
clues about the danger of Prof. Yigal Achmon since the late July 2022, so I
reconsidered to transfer.

The reason he fabricated such rumors is because, unlike other countries, in
China, all students are registered in the government, the school doesn't have
the right to expel a student according to their own regulations. Instead,
expelling a student is very difficult and requires the agreement from the
government. In the rules of the ministry of education,
http://www.moe.gov.cn/srcsite/A02/s5911/moe_621/201702/t20170216_296385.html it
clearly states that only criminal actions or severe illegal actions that is
enough to sentence 5 days or more, then the student can be expelled. So he
cannot expel me as I did not do anything to that level, although he already let
some gangland to collect many of my information. His plan at that time was
fabricating the evidence about stealing food and then submitted to the
government to expel me on the back and the formal reason for expelling me is
studying difficulties.

According to my current review, he might even have a detailed murder plan,
creating car accidents at that time, because I crossed a six-lane highway to eat
kway teow in a local restaurant everyday during that time. However, his plan was
only known by himself and very few people he coerced. Then, when they informed
me that I might be expelled due to studying difficulties, I briefly replied
"saying that, yes, I had a studying difficulties, as a professor constantly
finds my faults due to I did not work with him" and explain all the details to a
top food science professor, Prof. Harold Corke in November 2022. After that, he
did some investigations and protected me from being expelled and murdered by
Prof. Yigal Achmon. Due to his clear support, I canceled my transfer plan to UC
Berkeley in November 2022.

At that time, I already used Donoho and Huber's theorem for the proving of
robustness. Donoho has close relation to Technion. Also, I realized that
Bickel's student, Prof. Ya’acov Ritov, was also a Technion alumni (I didn't know
that previously). In addition, I used Lai's PNAS paper to form a selective
optimization estimator. At this time, Stanford and Technion's weight was already
much higher than that in June 2022. Technion forms an important part in my
immediate stopping of the transfer plan. If other people, they will at least
have some double plans, they will apply and then decide, but I even did not
apply that.

Prof. Harold Corke did not directly share with me the rumors, while I was busy
with my statistics papers, so I didn't know. I was aware of those rumors and
clues of his murder intention much much later. In January 2023, although I
wasn't aware of his murder plan, I had many clues to let me judge that Prof.
Yigal Achmon is a potential criminal and it would be too dangerous for me to
stay in Guangdong Technion. Because Prof. Yigal Achmon might find my faults at a
criminal level if he knew my statistics papers, which I expected can win the
COPSS presidents' award.

I did not know those papers can win a Fields Medal until April 2024, as I
checked the previous Fields Medal winners, no one is focusing in theoretical
statistics. The Fields Medal considers different branches on a rotating basis. I
later realized that statistics is the branch with the weakest voice in
mathematics, and it is also the branch that is relatively unlucky. Although
there have been excellent statistical results in the past, those people were
nearly forty years old when they made the results, so no statistician has ever
won a Fields Medal.

I was a senior in 2021 and I was expected to graduate in the summer of 2022. I
am very familiar with academic rules, the advantages of Technion and its role in
Israel, however, due to Prof. Yigal Achmon, I have no much choice. I judged that
although Prof. Harold Corke is one of the leaders of Guangdong Technion, he
himself could hardly protect me from Prof. Yigal Achmon's criminal attention in
that case because Prof. Yigal Achmon didn’t respect those academic rules and
prestigious scholars, he often said to me previously that most papers published
in Nature, Science, Cell are nonsense and he feels that Guangdong Technion has
many things that need to change, but he doesn’t have the power. Looking back,
even this judgment still greatly underestimated the consequences of sharing the
papers. Prof. Yigal Achmon, when I did nothing wrong but just not back to
school, already planned to kill me since June 2022, just because Prof. Harold
Corke protected me for several months. If he knew my papers at that time, he
would surely kill me as he is fabricating rumors to a future Fields Medal
winner, and Prof. Harold Corke didn't have the ability to really stop him. Prof.
Yigal Achmon is very good at using criminal actions to increase his actual
power.

I had a habit of pretending to be an ordinary student and being ignorant,
emotional, and totally unaware of many academic rules (You should know someone
who can write such papers and get the support from the most prestigious scholars
is impossible not familiar with those rules, although I pretended that I was an
ignorant student). So in front of Guangdong Technion professors, I said many
very different, in fact not true, reasons. This causes some misunderstandings.

I considered the potential bad impact in public. However, due to the previous
search of the public impact of COPSS presidents' award, I didn't think it's a
great issue and I can easily convince the statistician community. Also, I have
three names at that time, a Chinese legal name, Tuobang Li, a English name,
Johon, used to introduce myself to unknown scholar, e.g., Mingxun Wang, and a
variation of my Chinese name, Tuban Lee. The last name I used to submit my
papers to the PNAS because after the Nobel Prize, I started to think about
changing a name to reduce the potential public impact. This is a very careful
considered name, that it looks like a Chinese name for Western people, but for
Chinese, they know that it doesn't look like a typical Chinese name, so it can
effectively minimize my public impact. This name further lets me feel safe that
I won't need to consider the bad impact in public because I won't have public
impact.

I submitted an application to terminate the study with the reason: Studying
Difficulties, at the early March, 2023, and they agreed at April 19, 2023. I was
28 years old, and it was a pretty difficult decision to leave a university that
stays a long and cannot graduate due to the studying difficulties created by
Prof. Yigal Achmon. If I transferred to UC Berkeley, because I already missed
the deadline of transferring, which was December 2022, I need to wait for nearly
two years to enter as a transfer student. However, I had to do that, otherwise I
might die.

I considered to transfer to a UK university, which transfer deadline is often
May or June, but due to the strong support and valuable comments from the
editor, I did not apply that. In my papers, Hodges, Lehmann, Bickel's work
contributed with nearly half, they are all UC Berkeley's professors. Also, I
contacted Prof. Jacob Steinhardt in May 2023 for further explorations of Robust
estimation from distribution structures: Mean.

I considered the interest of Technion. I have a talent in business. In my plan,
I will set a company in Haifa, Israel and let it maintain my relation to
Technion. For Guangdong Technion, I found it extremely difficult to cut the
relations with Prof. Yigal Achmon while at the same time maintain a relation to
them and not bring troubles to myself.

In March, because of those rumors, more than 40 students terminated their
studies in Guangdong Technion and some teachers resigned. Prof. Harold Corke
could hardly protect me, and Prof. Yigal Achmon started to spread the rumors to
my high school, the things I know from my friends implications including
stealing computer, iPhone, express packages, AirPods, food, etc. and going to
cheat others for money (yes, a potential Fields Medal winner stole food and
cheat others for money when preparing those manuscripts) and coerced someone to
track me.

However, he could not find my papers because I made it extremely secret and in
front of most teachers and students, I often pretended that I was an ignorant
and emotional student. Many of my words in front of them are not true, but I
don’t intend to cheat anyone for interest, just for my safety, this is my habit
of living in such an environment.

In May 2023, he found my papers using illegal ways. However, at that time, those
rumors had already spread to my high school in Zhaoqing, so my situation was
gaining a lot of attention. Probably someone has protected me. In that
situation, it was very difficult for him to murder me (I am very lucky in this
sense, if I stayed in Guangdong Technion, after he knew my papers, he would
surely kill me). However, he realized very quickly that he is fabricating rumors
about stealing food to a future Fields Medal winner. What he did was to kidnap
the system, in the name of Guangdong Technion and Technion, without permission,
and he continued to spread the rumors to more scholars and block my papers from
publishing and plagiarized my papers. He succeeded in the first two goals and
formed a too evil to be pursued situation, but he could not plagiarize my papers
as my papers were under review in PNAS and the editor is Peter Bickel, one of
the most prestigious scholars in statistics. The editor protected my papers from
being plagiarized even though he didn't know whether those rumors were true, so
he did not dare to accept my papers.

This situation of blocking my papers from publishing has lasted for one year,
since July 2023, the editor knew about this event. My difficulty is that I
wanted to refute the rumors to the editor, but Prof. Yigal Achmon often threat
to kill me if I do so, and I believed for a long time, so did not send evidence
to the editor (in fact, after sending this email to massive scholars, I have
faced many murder threats, but I believe UC Berkeley can protect me). Due to the
PNAS regulation, my contact with the PNAS editor could only in indirect ways so
I don't know many rumors. My mental status was quite poor since the end of 2021
to the February 2024, so the misunderstandings between me and other professors
constantly grew, especially when constantly facing murder threats.

A more difficulty situation is that becuase he coerced someone to hack my
computer, I worried about my other papers stored in the disk would be found, so
I deposited my drafts to the preprint, zenodo, in a hurry in November.
Previously, I only had two papers publically deposited in GitHub, REDS:mean and
REDS:moments. Besides that, the matrix dissimilarity (Also a Fields-winning
paper), inferring metabolic directions (a Nobel Prize-winning paper), and
REDS:nonasymptotic (a COPSS presidents' award-winning paper) were stored in the
disk. These papers are still drafts with many extentions haven't been explored
and I didn't have exact plan for those papers until Prof. Yigal Achmon disrupted
my normal life.

I tried to talk with Prof. Yigal Achmon to stop the illegal activities when I
didn't know the impact of those rumors. He said in September 2023 to me "Could I
be the second author in those statistics papers? Then I can help you end this
event. I am just trying to help you. I am just the second author, you are the
first author." I didn't agree. Later, he asked me for a co-first author or
co-corresponding author of inferring metabolic directions, I also didn't agree.
When facing those death threats, I agreed to say something good even not true
for them, but those didn't work, instead, after agreeing some of those rumors,
my situation became much worse. Because when facing the extortion of such kind
of guys, no matter what we do, the result is the same.

I reported the extortion to the Zhaoqing police before I went to Berkeley in
June. The first reaction of the police when they heard about the extortion was
to ask me how much the extortion amount was. They had never heard of such
extortion of the authorship and threatening to plagiarize the paper, and they
thought it was an academic dispute. Moreover, when Prof. Yigal Achmon was
extorting money, he also directed people to hack into my phone and computer, so
I couldn't record it, so there was no recorded evidence of those clear
extortions. Of course, hacking is also illegal, but the problem is that hacker
crimes are relatively secretive. I didn't have any financial losses, so I didn't
tell the police about it for time and energy considerations. After I came to
Berkeley, I reported the case to the Shantou police again in July, and the
police accepted my report.

The police need certain clues or a great social impact to initiate an
investigation. I understand that, and a lot of my key evidence was deleted under
their threat. As for the rumor, I mainly learned about it from the WeChat voice
call with my friends, but when I asked them to provide clear and direct evidence
to help me report to the police, no one was willing to help me. They are my
friends, and I am very grateful that they are willing to hint that there are
such rumors. If they are unwilling to do that, I can’t provide their information
to the police to force them to cooperate with the investigation. I also
understand my friend, because Prof. Yigal Achmon has countless ways to threaten
me with death. After I rejected him, he said, “I wish you good health and
success in publishing your papers.” I guess he threatened my friends in the same
way. At the same time, he was careful to spread rumors and avoid spreading them
to those who might help me. For example, Prof. Harold Corke didn’t know about
those rumors before the investigation. In addition, he invested a lot of
resources in those who might help me to sow discord between us.

In February and March 2024, with the help of some online answers from Zhihu, the
Chinese Quora, I started to realize that I had PTSD and Asperger symptoms and
started to cure myself. After that, my mental state gradually improved. Also, I
realized my statistics papers has the potential for winning a Fields Medal since
April 2024, so I started to understand such insane. In June 2024, I realized
that if anyone can plagiarize my matrix dissimilarity, he might also win a
Fields Medal, this make me further understand the craziness of rumor mongering
and plagiarization. Due to my research has been disrupted by this event, I
finished my matrix dissimilarity within one day and submitted to ArXiv as a
draft in a hurry without any theoretical work in June 2024. Previously, I
already deposited the drafts in to another preprint platform, Zenodo. To be
precise, in my current statistics papers, if it had been done by different
people, it would have been enough to produce three COPSS presidents' awards, two
Fields Medals, and one Nobel Prize. This is the source of their crazy attempts
to plagiarize. Such thing is very common in academia. The works of many Fields
Medal winners are actually enough to win Fields Medals several times, but the
Fields Medal will not be awarded repeatedly. Because if a person truly has the
ability to win the Fields Medal mainly based on his strength, rather than luck,
then naturally, he will make results that can win the Fields Medal more than
once.

I came to Guangdong Technion on June 2024 and talked with Prof. Yigal Achmon. I
reviewed all key events we had experienced. I highlighted he didn't have any
direct contributions to my research and shared a hope of ending this issue, he
agreed the first part but avoided talking the second part, because he himself is
already a murderer, he just wants to drag more and more people into his level so
he can feel safe. Also, he doesn't care about what he did might cause severe
trouble in Guangdong Technion and the statistics community, as he himself is so
bad and knows nothing about statistics.

I made many efforts hoping to restore my relationship with Technion. This is the
main reason why it took me more than a year from leaving school to formally
terminate. Because I want to maintain a good relationship with the Technion,
while at the same time, I didn’t want Prof. Yigal Achmon to find my faults, but
he has continued making trouble for me, and I had no choice but to terminate.
Prof. Yigal Achmon constantly blocked my attempt to restore the relation to
Technion and fabricated many rumors in Technion.

After I arrived at UC Berkeley in mid-June, 2024, transit in Tokyo, my mental
status has become much better and basically normal now. Berkeley's weather is
very comfortable for me and for the first time over these years, my sleep has
returned to normal.

I am still puzzled about how to solve this issue. They constantly created
troubles in my research so after July 2023, my research has basically stopped
for more than one year. Also, I cannot work with any others, due to those rumors
and threats.

However, anyway, those are rumors, and in fact I don't think there are many
people who believe that. Although he threatened me that he hired someone who is
very good in generative AI and can fabricate nearly any kind of rumors.

Guangdong Technion has some good teachers and students, but many people are
kidnapped and coerced by Prof. Yigal Achmon now. I know someone might think my
leave is immoral, however, we are statisticians and we know the level is minor
and I had been considered for quite a long time, but cannot find a way to
graduate from Guangdong Technion, while at the same time, ensure my safety. I
put my safety as the priority and I judged Prof. Yigal Achmon might find my
faults at a criminal level if he knew my papers. However, in my original plan, I
already planned to develop a business in Israel to maintain a relation to
Technion. I am teaching the informal bioinformatics course planned three years
ago, community analysis of microbiota, to 40 Guangdong Technion/Technion
students, without any payment. I uploaded some course records to YouTube
https://youtu.be/PAm-QwA2OA0 . I have worked with some of those students,
Berkeley students and some students from other universities for another
important paper in species comparison.

Another issue is that how to publish those papers. PNAS rejected my papers in
March 2024. As at that time, there were still many rumors, and after I came to
UC Berkeley for summer session in June 2024, it was too late). I attended
KSMB-SMB 2024 at Konkuk university and did a quite well poster presentation
about my biostatistics paper. I transit in Osaka, and had a nice trip in Japan
locally. I explained all the key events and rumors to the editor on mid-July,
before going to George Mason university for attending the ICORS meets DSSV for
presenting my theoretical statistics papers. However, it seems too late,
although Prof. Yigal Achmon cannot directly plagiarize my papers, he encouraged
other people to do so, and now this event is already becoming more complex.
Those papers won't be accepted by the community, but how to deal with them is
still an issue.

My general criteria is that, if the papers haven't been published in any
journals, then those papers should cite my papers and recognize my priority and
inspiration from my papers (modifications or withdraw an ArXiv paper is very
easy). Only for very special cases, that they previously had very good
foundations that can lead to that work, my work only speed up the progress, not
totally inspired, i.e., if without my work, they can also do that sooner or
later. In such cases, I recognize the co-independently discovery of their work
(I already sent emails to the corresponding authors). However, such case is very
rare, because my work is solving some questions that puzzled statistics for more
than two centuries.

If there are papers based on my papers already published in a formal journal
before August 4th 2024, those papers should not be cited after August 4th 2024.
The best way is withdrawing those papers or doing modifications (cite and
recognize my priority and inspiration). Withdrawing papers can use different
excuses, there are many possible choices, no need with the reasons of
plagiarizing. Also, they might publish another similar but more advanced papers
to replace those papers after my papers publish, so this can make sure that
those plagiarized work won't be cited by anyone in the future.

I talked with some of the plagiarizers, some of them shows regret, however, some
of them doesn't think they are wrong. They even proposed some theories like, "I
am poor, so I do not need to pay taxes", "everyone are equal". I don't
understand why cite papers that are open-access and recognize the fact, my
priority and inspiration, becomes "taxes" and "not equal"??? Do I charge
anything for my ArXiv papers or my YouTube Videos? If such logic can be
tolerant, the hundreds of years tradition of the academic world will be shaken.
No matter for my personal interest or for the community, I had to protect my
interest.

I understand for such a long time rumor mongering, and also Prof. Yigal Achmon
is very good at convincing people and fabricating rumors, he is very similar to
Osama Bin Laden, so many people might join him, even some of my previous very
good friends and even some of my closest relatives. Even UC Berkeley and Peter
Bickel had puzzled for a long time whether I really stole food. Otherwise why I
didn't refute the rumors for such a long time. My character is that when my
actions might hurt other innocent people's interest, I am very very very
careful. Because I know many Guangdong Technion students and professors are
innocent and don't want to impact them. Because in this event, the source of
evil is Prof. Yigal Achmon, because his criminal intention was developed
independently, as early as May 19th 2022, and according to their style, no
matter whether there are any other events involve, he would surely rise
murderous intention after knowing my papers. Also, he is very good in utilizing
the weakness of the system and how to kidnap the system. He said to me "We all
stands by teachers, not students, you cannot against the system". The problem is
that I never think about against the system. Instead, Prof. Yigal Achmon
constantly hurts the system's interest by creating ridiculous events.

For those persons or systems dragged, I don't want them suffer negative impacts
as long as they correct their mistakes. I won't have any discrimination to them.
Otherwise I just entered the trap set by Prof. Yigal Achmon. They should think,
if I am really as weak as Prof. Yigal Achmon said, and he is such a selfish
person, would he let you plagiarize my papers? He encourages you to plagiarize
just because he can't plagiarize them by himself and cannot kill me otherwise he
would die. Using other people to achieve his own criminal actions is his usual
tactic. And if you believe it, you have fallen into the trap, and if I am biased
against you or more innocent people because you have fallen into the trap, then
I will also fall into his trap. For myself, I used a cracked version of
Mathematica without formal lisence while in the method I described Wolfram
instead of Mathematica. In addition, I carelessly forgot to cite Prof. Jacob
Steinhardt's PhD decertation, although I recognized that in the YouTube videos.
I will also cite those in the formal papers. Generally, for those preprint
papers, having some mistakes is very normal and as long as those mistakes don't
appear in the formal SCI journal, it's okay.

I also need to emphasize that, no matter in which scenario, those things won't
be recognized, and it is just like another Lysenkoism. The system protects such
guys will be inevitably impacted and, more importantly, it doesn't worth that.
Just like Soviet Union, after all Tsar's families were killed, almost all the
people who killed the Tsar were also killed. If I encounter any problems, then
the only beneficiary is Prof. Yigal Achmon. All others, even if they temporarily
gain something, will very quickly face challenges from internal conflicts. Also,
since there are many people plagiarizes my papers, then for each individual,
their gain is very little, and totally not deserve the risk. I can easily claim
the priority in such situation, as all my papers have been publicized with
intensive traffics since two years ago. I hope to solve this event with wisdom
and mitigate the impact as small as possible, I don't want to waste my time and
energy on such ugly issue, but I am also daring to make it bigger. This is for
the whole statistics community.

I attached some evidence for some possible rumors in the Google drive line, but
generally, it is impossible to refute all the rumors as 1, I even don't know
what it is, if I know, I can let the police to further investigate, 2, they
seems fabricate rumors that I cannot find evidence, e.g., they seem to accuse me
stealing Apple Watch, but I never bought an Apple Watch and I don't have an
Apple Watch, how can I prove that I never steal something that I never bought.

The only major accusations I can understand are,
1, stealing. This is a joke,
2, cheating. I often said some completely different, unreal words in front of
different people to avoid troubles, but those words are not intended for gaining
anything, just protecting myself in such environment. Also, I have already
changed my style.
3, not respecting girls. No, I support feminism. I have never had sex relation
with any girl, although dating with a lot of girls. There were doxing events
targeting me since October 2021, leading by a group of extreme feminists, who
claim "if you are not prepare to merry her, you should not contact her" and they
encourage other girls to dox and fabricate rumors to those boys not follow this
rule. I had a PTSD towards those extreme feminists, but I am normal now. Those
extreme feminism should not be confused with the general feminism. Also, Prof.
Yigal Achmon didn't know those doxing event and those extreme feminists, before
June 2022. He developed criminal intention independently in May 2022 (even he
knew that, according to my interactions with him, he didn't being impacted by
those things). After he knew those events, he learned from those strategies and
changed his murder plan to fabricate rumors and then murder. If without those
extreme feminists, Prof. Yigal Achmon would also form his murderous intention
sooner or later, but his plan would be very crude and simple, creating a car
accident to kill me, totally without those rumors. The strategies of fabricating
rumors he used were learned from those extreme feminists and he greatly
emplified the maganitutes (those extreme feminists mainly fabricates rumors
about sex relations, which is legal gray area. They are not dare to fabricate
stealing as those are highly illegal). Later, he seems coerse some extreme
faminists to transmit those rumors.
4, not respect to assistant professor. I had PTSD to that, so fear of the title,
but now already cured. Also, I didn't have that originally otherwise I would not
work with Prof. Yigal Achmon, while I could work with Prof. Harold Corke, a top
food scientist in April 2021.
5, antisemitism. This accusation might arise from my public comments about
against the discrimination to Muslim several years ago. I had close contact with
Muslim, Uighur, when I was in high school, and I think most Muslim are not
related to those terrorism attacks, and the battle of terrorism should not turn
into discrimination towards Muslim. Recently, there is a growing trend of
antisemitism speech in the Chinese Internet, but none of them is related to me
and I also posted comments to oppose that publicly. I don't understand how Prof.
Yigal Achmon can accuse someone whose English name is Johon (I made that by
myself and used that in front of unknown scholars, I never told Prof. Yigal
Achmon this English name), who is very familiar with Israel culture and
politics, and plans to develop some business in Israel, is antisemitism?
6, not respect to Russia. I always respect Russian's contribution in math as my
papers cited many Russian mathematician's work. I had PTSD to Russian in person,
as Dr. Alex Samusev is a Russian Israeli and being the first Prof. Yigal
Achmon's weapon. But now my PTSD is already cured and I know many very smart and
kind Russian Israelis in Technion, e.g., Prof. Len Pismen.
7, not respect to Nature or any other journals. This is a joke, I often read
Nature, one of the most prestigious journal. While my theoretical statistics
papers are largely based on papers published in PNAS and the annual of
statistics, many papers published in Nature and its subjournals substantially
contributed to my biostatistics papers.
8, I am bad in collaboration. I have Asperger symptom, so have a difficulty in
understanding social clues, sometimes speak directly. But I always want to work
with others if I can and my safety can be ensured. Israel has a culture that
speaks more directly. They are called dugri. And it is not Israeli style to
think that I am rude and disrespectful because I speak directly. In Israel, my
situation is more like a sabra, which means a person who is prickly on the
outside but soft on the inside like a cactus. When I worked with Prof. Yigal
Achmon, I contacted more than five students in biology and none of them is
willing to work with Prof. Yigal Achmon. After that, my relations were totally
disrupted by Prof. Yigal Achmon and my PTSD. However, I am now good and PTSD is
cured. Also, in math, about 1/3-1/2 papers are single author, 1/3 papers are two
authors, and the others are three or four authors. It is very unlike in biology
there can be a lot of authors. The collaborations should be fair. Prof. Yigal
Achmon often suggest he be a coauthor which has totally no contribution, or
other people cannot contribute to my papers, this is a extortion, not
collaboration! (Because statistics has many branches, so even statisticians,
many of them are unlikely contributed to my REDS if they don't have specific
background, I have sent a lot of emails to a broad institutions in more than 30
countries, to ask for the possibility of reviews and collaborations, but only
Prof. Ruodu Wang reviewed my paper and pointed out an important mistake
regarding gamma-symmetric distribution before I attended two international
conferences in Seoul and Fairfax, Virginia, last month. Prof. Yigal Achmon
always disrupted my relation to others by various means and only wants those who
controlled by him to be the author in my paper while at the same time they don't
do any work that I cannot do!
9, Guangdong Technion's professors or Technion's professors or students play any
direct contributions in my papers. No, I have not talked with anyone in
Guangdong Technion or Technion with any math/statistics questions since the end
of 2021. I had PTSD so even fear of talking with an assistant professor in UC
Riverside. There are completely no thoughts, ideas, nor any other things
directly coming from Guangdong Technion's education. My degree is a
bioengineering degree. For anyone who is good in robust statistics, he can
easily identify all those rumors. Indirectly, probably relevant are two courses
from the math programs, 1, combinatorics, taught by Prof. Nader Bshouty, is
helpful for better understanding combinatorics, Also, in personal, I was in debt
with Prof. Nader Bshouty as he helped my Theory of Computation. 2, 234124
Introduction to Systems Programming, this is course that taught C++, which
partially helpful for me to write the REDS package, taught by Prof. Israel
Gutter in Spring 2021, I skipped all the final exams of the math degree related
courses due to the pushing and shocking by Prof. Yigal Achmon at that time.
10, my loyalty to partners. I think, my experience with Prof. Yigal Achmon
already clearly showed my loyalty to other partners is much higher than the
average. I mean he made so many mistakes (you can hear from the recording) and I
did not end the relation due to any mistakes he made. I am not a saint, and I
did consider ending the relation with him, but I did not really do that. It was
after he expelled me from his course and after very complicated negotiations and
talks and then I ended the relation. If any other students faced my situation,
or any other teachers read what I said the treatments of Prof. Yigal Achmon and
that lab manager, they might not judge that they were dangerous to a criminal
level, while I predicted that in January 2023. So, they might just like my
family, saying that there are some Guangdong Technion teachers treating you
well, so you should not transfer due to such small issues, while what I thought
was that what kind of crime Prof. Yigal Achmon might do if he knew my papers.
Although I still greatly underestimate Prof. Yigal Achmon, but my judgment is
much better than those of many other students and teachers.

For my loyalty to Technion, first, it depends on my ability. If my ability could
not balance the interest, I would consider my interest first, but as long as I
have the ability to balance the interest and I am safe, my loyalty is more than
other students. I canceled the plan of transferring to Columbia university and
submitted the statistics paper with the affiliation of Technion to PNAS in May
and June, 2022. Also, I canceled the plan to transfer to Berkeley in November
2022, after the support from Prof. Harold Corke. In such cases, I did not make
any double plans, which is others typically do. If any other students have my
ability, their actions would be very different from mine.

For my loyalty to Berkeley and PNAS, what I wrote in the papers already tried my
best. Also, I did what I can did. For the consideration of studying in UK is due
to the additional one year absent. I worried about that, but I did not really
apply to any universities besides Berkeley.

I asked you not to be controlled by such guys. Because contacting with him will
inevitably break the law. If he uses this as a reason to blackmail you, just say
that if this is the case, he will be prosecuted as a murderer. Don't be afraid
of him, because his problems are countless times more serious than yours, and he
has no ability to blackmail you. If you could help me get this matter into
judicial channels, I would be very, very, very grateful to you. At the same
time, because this matter is very severe, when dealing with it, we must be
careful not to let populism and public anger controlled this event, instead, we
will solve it with wisdom and rational.

Finally, I would also like to share a Chinese idiom "Suspect the Neighbor stole
the Axe" (疑邻窃斧) and an Israel idiom "The hat burns atop the thief’s head" (על
ראש הגנב בוער הכובע) and a blog posted by my friend.
http://chinesereadingpractice.com/2013/03/03/story-behind-the-idiom-lose-the-axe-suspect-the-neighbor/
https://www.hebrewpod101.com/blog/2021/06/10/best-hebrew-proverbs/
https://www.yiddishwit.com/gallery/burn.html

"Suspect the Neighbor stole the Axe"(疑邻窃斧)

There once was a man who lost his axe, and though he searched all over for it he
still couldn’t find it. After a while he thought it must have been that the
neighbor’s son stole it, so he began to take note of the child’s expressions,
words and actions and thought they were all those of a thief. Thus, he concluded
that it was the neighbor’s kid that stole it, and in his heart he said, “I
always thought that guy was bad.”

On the second day, when he went up the mountain to chop firewood and at the side
of a tree he found his lost axe. Now he finally remembered that he’d actually
forgotten it there two days before. He regretted casually suspecting his
neighbor’s child. After he returned home, he took another look at the child’s
behavior, words and actions, and he didn’t seem at all like a person who would
steal anything. So he said, “I’ve always thought that he is not the kind of
person who would steal”. 　 　　

After this, people have used the phrase “Suspect the Neighbor stole the Axe” to
describe inventing subjective feelings and careless suspicions.

"The hat burns atop the thief’s head" (על ראש הגנב בוער הכובע)

This Hebrew idiom is probably from a Russian idiom "The thief has a burning hat"
(На воре и шапка горит) which refers to someone who is guilty or uncomfortable
due to their own wrongdoing. It suggests that a thief, knowing their crime,
feels an internal sense of panic or unease, as if their metaphorical "hat is on
fire". The implication is that the guilty party is unable to hide their guilt or
unease, even if they appear calm on the surface. It's a figurative way of
conveying that the conscience of someone who has committed a misdeed is
bothering them, even if they try to act normal.
https://www.quora.com/What-does-the-Russian-saying-The-thief-has-a-burning-hat-mean

On October 11, 2022, one of my best friend who has known me for nearly ten years
posted a blog in WeChat: "This world is getting worse and worse. It is almost
impossible to do anything good. All we do is silently amplifying blame. As the
PTSD merged into nerves, everyone who stood by any camp had to bear the
responsibility of blaming other camps. Playing multiple roles, the everyday
battle is between self-blame and others’ blame. I finally understood my friend’s
pain. This blame gradually breaks and cuts off parts and parts of myself. This
world may never be beautiful again, but I really want to stop blaming.” The
WeChat signature I have used since registering WeChat in 2015 is: "Understand
the beauty of this world." I often share with this friend the things I
encountered at Guangdong Technion. Although she faced threats, she hoped that in
this way she could hint to me that someone had contacted her and blame me.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at the time.

Sincerely,

Johon Li Tuobang 李拓邦
