Whistleblower and Sealed Documents


Dimitrios P. Biller was managing counsel for Toyota from 2003 to 2007.

His job was to produce the electronic documents that would help Toyota fight about 300 lawsuits filed after the rollovers of SUVs and trucks. Many resulted in traumatic head injury.

But Biller says he was fired when he refused to hide documents at the direction of the company. Biller has accused the company of inflicting emotion distress on him while it was committing “criminal acts” in the rollover litigation

In September, a U.S. District Judge ruled that some company documents will stay opened and not be sealed, opening the door to hundreds of settled or dismissed lawsuits by rollover accident victims.

Biller and Toyota have been grappling over about 6,000 internal documents that Biller has in his possession, proof of the company’s pattern of fraud, he says.

The disputed documents have been kept confidential by court order since last summer. A California arbitrator will soon decide whether they should be made public.

They could potentially shed light on the type of safety allegations now facing Toyota - what they knew and when they knew it.

No stranger to litigation, Biller was terminated by Toyota and received a nearly $4 million severance deal. He sued Toyota for wrongful termination. Toyota has sued Biller for violating his severance agreement. That decision is pending. In a federal racketeering lawsuit filed in August, Biller accuses the automaker of a long history of hiding and destroying evidence, orchestrated by the company’s headquarters in Japan.
