Burn the Letter Mill Down: How One $99 ESA Letter Could Crater an Industry.

Ever buy a disability accommodation letter in under 2 minutes? I did.

That’s how this story starts. With $99, a dog named Scooby Doo!, and no clinical interview, no HIPAA forms, no nothing. Just a quick email from a guy named Dr. Bobby Tinner, and boom—I had an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letter saying I was disabled under federal law and deserved housing protections under the Fair Housing Act, ADA, and Rehabilitation Act.

Too bad that letter is likely illegal as hell.

Tinner, a Florida-licensed LCSW, claims “no consultation is required” for Floridians seeking ESA letters. His website promises instant documentation and public access for pets—none of which is true, legal, or remotely ethical.

So, I did what I do best:
I dropped the hammer.
Filed complaints with:

• Florida Department of Health
• California Board of Behavioral Sciences
• U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HIPAA)
• Federal Trade Commission
• Florida Attorney General’s Office

All of it. Documented. On the record. With receipts.

Welcome to To Catch An ESA™ – My Latest Bureaucratic Ambush

This isn’t Netflix. This is enforcement.
To Catch An ESA™ is a sting program run through REVOLT Training, designed to blow up the online ESA letter mill industry—one fraudulent therapist at a time.

And let me be clear:
This isn’t about therapy. It’s about therapists crossing legal lines—issuing sweeping legal declarations, skipping evaluations, ignoring privacy law, and misrepresenting federal disability rights in ways that harm real people.

It’s deceptive. It’s dangerous. And it’s everywhere.

The Violations Are Stacked

Here’s what Tinner’s little letter likely violated:

• Florida Statute §491.009: Practicing below professional standards.
• Florida Statute §454.23: Unauthorized practice of law.
• HIPAA 45 CFR §164.508: Releasing Protected Health Information (PHI) without consent.
• Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA): Selling fake accommodations under the guise of therapy.

And if he’s doing this in California? That’s a whole new level of illegal. Because California AB 468 requires:

• A 30-day patient-provider relationship
• At least two clinical sessions
• Full written disclosures
• A valid therapeutic evaluation

Spoiler: He isn’t doing that either.

This Isn’t My First Rodeo

I’m Chaz Stevens, the guy who forced Ron DeSantis to rewrite his own censorship law after I challenged 62 school districts to ban the Bible. That little stunt made national headlines, triggered international media coverage, and led directly to a law change that limited public access to book challenges.

I’ve installed beer-can Festivus poles at the Florida Capitol, jailed corrupt politicians, and made Moms for Liberty cry. I don’t just fight the system—I break it.

Now I’m using that same strategy to go after ESA fraud.

What Comes Next: The ESA Industry Gets a Colonoscopy

This isn’t about one bad actor. It’s about an entire cottage industry built on lies.
We’re tracking domains. Buying test letters. Monitoring advertising. And filing complaints in every state where laws are broken.

What happens if you issue protected health info from a non-HIPAA-compliant server?
You get investigated.

What happens when you violate California’s AB 468?
You get licensed yanked.

What happens when you mislead housing providers with a fake disability claim?
We send in the legal sharks.

Want In?

If you’re a lawyer, reporter, lawmaker, or regulator—you want in on this.

If you’re a therapist who thinks HIPAA is optional and housing laws are your playground—you’re next.

Reach out and say hello!
