A groundbreaking legal exposé reveals how jurisdictional defects, financial incentives, and procedural fraud undermine justice in America
United States — January 21, 2026
A powerful new book, The Tree of Fraud, delivers a bold and meticulously researched examination of how corruption quietly takes root and spreads through modern legal systems—often hidden behind the language of procedure, compliance, and authority.
Written by author and legal researcher Dennis Anthony Lee, The Tree of Fraud introduces readers to a clear, accessible framework for understanding how courts can operate without lawful jurisdiction, how due process violations are normalized, and how entire enforcement systems may be driven by financial incentives rather than justice.
Using the central metaphor of a tree, the book traces corruption from its roots—unconstitutional appointments, conflicts of interest, and administrative capture—through its trunk of procedural misconduct, and into its branches of unlawful enforcement actions that affect millions of Americans.
“When a court lacks jurisdiction or violates due process, everything that flows from it is void—not voidable,” Lee writes. “This book shows how those defects are created, concealed, and repeated.”

- The role of administrative courts and enforcement programs
- How financial incentive structures distort justice
