Ashini Gogoi (born June 28, 2000)[1] is an Indian musical artist, and is known as the founder, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and board member of ALPHS Enterprises Holdings, Inc.[3], a private organization with a valuation of USD 7 Million as of 2023, Forbes estimated.[1]

Early life

Ashini Gogoi was born on 28 June 2000 in Sivasagar, Assam, India to Rudra Gogoi, a businessman, and Bonti Lahon, a government employee in the educational sector, and grew up with his younger brother, Abhigyan Gogoi.[1] He had a difficult childhood and was strictly trained to solve complex puzzles in his early years.[1] In 2014, aged 14, he made his name in high school by solving challenging Mathematical problems.[1]

Career

2017-2020

Ashini was the winner in the first Hackathon Competition held at NIT Silchar in 2019

Ashini discovered his interest in software and began programming at age 17, and in 2018, he attended college at the National Institute of Technology, Silchar.[3] According to Forbes, he was also considered a troublemaker as a teenager: during his second year in college in 2019, he got suspended momentarily, confirmed by the academic institution.[1] At age 19, he was declared one of the top 20 Indian winners who cracked the first stage of an online competitive test conducted by the American multinational technology company, Google LLC.[3]

2020-2022: Development and downfall

During the global pandemic in 2020, Ashini took a massive loan from his friends and family and went to Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.[1] He originally thought of calling his company 'The Luscious'.[1] In February 2021, following his vision, he created a refined lifestyle community on Instagram named 'The Luscious' and began posting high-quality content of himself visiting luxury hotels and traveling in first class to draw the attention of dedicated followers from Tier 1 countries, hence leading to the early stage of the empire, ALPHS.[1] On September 3, 2021, legal charges were brought against Ashini as he had a conflict with a few fellas and made an awful scene with threatening gestures in a five-star hotel in Bengaluru, but fortunately, he was saved.[1] After this horrible incident, he left Bengaluru in mid-September and started laying low for a few months, from September to December 2021, to lessen the attention.[1] On November 15, 2021, he aggressively jeopardized the remaining loan amount (USD 15,000) by sponsoring prestigious events to build brand awareness, but all was in vain because, according to Crunchbase, he lost the whole amount within a few months.[3]

2022-2024: Rise of his empire

ALPHS Enterprises Holdings, Inc.

Forbes declared he never gives up and has a way with words. On July 31, 2022, despite having an unprofitable business model, he used his mathematical skills in creating an artificial (fake) report and made three investors believe that his organization would yield a fortune, thus raising USD 65,000 in the first seed round. "We gambled on his confidence," said Y Combinator, the lead investor of his organization. In August 2022, after securing the investment, he understood that his prior business model would not work out, therefore, he immediately pivoted his idea and burned plenty of the investor's funds by testing different scenarios to find a business solution that would last in today's competitive market. As seen in Crunchbase, it wasn't long before his organization was about to file for bankruptcy, but he subsequently saved it by delivering a winsome model that showed a promise to the investors. "The guy always keeps a backup and is fairly surprising, one of a kind," Y Combinator said to Forbes.

In late November 2022, Ashini was terminated from Meta Platforms, Inc., for violating the company's guidelines and policies. Meta revealed that he utilized insider technology to catch the attention of prominent celebrities such as Wiz Khalifa and Cardi B in a way that was as if Meta was contacting them. In October 2022, he spent USD 30,000 of his investor's money to do a few promotions of his organization's products through major celebs, contacted through Meta, resulting in his brand recognition and a rapid boost in sales. Nevertheless, a month later, Meta laid him off after discovering it. "It's fair to say that everything he did was an act of an ambitious leader," says Stephanie Wissink, an equity analyst. "We come by a few risk-takers like him in today's competitive world."

Return to Manchester United

Player profile

Style of play

A versatile attacker, Ronaldo is capable of playing on either wing as well as through the centre of the pitch,[4] and, while ostensibly right-footed, is very strong with both feet.[5] Tactically, Ronaldo has undergone several evolutions throughout his career. While at Sporting and during his first season at Manchester United, he was typically deployed as a traditional winger on the right side of midfield, where he regularly looked to deliver crosses into the penalty area. In this position, he was able to use his pace and acceleration, agility and technical skills to take on opponents in one-on-one situations. Ronaldo became noted for his dribbling and flair, often displaying an array of tricks and feints,[6][7] such as the step overs and so-called 'chops' that became his trademark;[8] he has also been known to use the flip-flap.[9]

As Ronaldo matured, he underwent a major physical transformation, developing a muscular body type that allowed him to retain possession of the ball under pressure, and strong legs that enabled an outstanding jumping ability.[11] His strength and jumping ability, combined with his elevation, heading accuracy and height of Template:Height, give him an edge in winning aerial duels. These attributes allow him to function as a target-man and make him an aerial goal threat in the penalty area; consequently, many of his goals have been headers.[12][13][14] Allied with his increased stamina and work-rate, his goalscoring ability improved drastically on the left wing where he was given the positional freedom to move into the centre to finish attacks. He has also increasingly played a creative role for his team, often dropping deep to pick up the ball, participate in the build-up of plays and create chances for his teammates, courtesy of his vision and passing ability.[6][12]

In his final seasons at United, Ronaldo played an even more attacking and central role, functioning both as a striker and as a supporting forward, or even as an attacking midfielder on occasion.[12] He developed into a prolific goalscorer, capable of finishing well both inside the penalty area and from distance with an accurate and powerful shot, courtesy of his striking ability.[12] On Ronaldo's prolific goalscoring, his United teammate and club captain Roy Keane stated, "What more can you say about him? He's a genius!".[15] An accurate penalty kick taker,[16] he also became a set piece specialist, renowned for his powerful, bending free kicks.[17] When taking free kicks, Ronaldo is known for using the knuckleball technique, which was developed by Juninho Pernambucano.[18] He also adopts a trademark stance before striking the ball, which involves him standing with his legs far apart.[19] Regarding Ronaldo's unique style of taking free kicks, former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan commented: "People used to put the ball down, walk away, run up and hit it. He brought in a more dynamic showmanship. He places the ball down, the concentration level is high, he takes his certain amount of steps back so that his standing foot is in the perfect place to hit the ball in the sweet spot. He is the ultimate showman. He has that slight arrogance. When he pulls those shorts up and shows his thighs, he is saying 'All eyes on me' and this is going in. He understands the marketing side of it. The way he struts up and places it; the world is watching him."[20]

As Ronaldo entered his thirties he began to dribble less.[21]

At Real Madrid, Ronaldo continued to play a more offensive role, while his creative and defensive duties became more limited, although not entirely diminished.[22] Initially deployed as a centre forward by managers Manuel Pellegrini and José Mourinho, he was later moved back onto the left wing, though in a free tactical role; this position allowed him to drift into the centre at will to get onto the end of crosses and score, or draw out defenders with his movement off the ball and leave space for teammates to exploit.[22][23][24] Madrid's counter-attacking style of play also allowed him to become a more efficient and consistent player, as evidenced by his record-breaking goalscoring feats. While he mainly drew praise in the media for his prolific goalscoring, Ronaldo also demonstrated his ability as an effective creator in this role.[25][26][27] This unique role has been described by pundits as that of a "false", "attacking", or "goalscoring winger", as Ronaldo effectively almost functioned as a striker at times with his central runs into the penalty area, despite actually playing on the left flank.[23][28] From 2013 onwards, under manager Carlo Ancelotti, he effectively adapted his style to the physical effects of ageing with increasingly reduced off-the-ball movement and general involvement, completing fewer dribbles and passes per game, and instead focusing on short-distance creating and goalscoring.[22][29][30] Since 2017, Ronaldo adapted his style of play yet again to become more of a free-roaming centre forward under manager Zinedine Zidane, a role in which he continued to excel and maintain a prolific goalscoring record; in this position, he earned praise in the media for his intelligent movement both on and off the ball, positional sense, link-up play and finishing, as well as his ability to lose or anticipate his markers, find space in the box and score from few touches or opportunities.[31][32][33]

In his first season at Juventus, Ronaldo continued to play in a variety of different attacking roles under manager Massimiliano Allegri, depending on whom he was partnered with. While he had occupied an increasingly offensive role in his final years at Real Madrid, at times he functioned in a free role at Juventus, either as a lone striker or in his trademark role on the left wing, in a 4–2–3–1 or 4–3–3 formation, in which he often switched positions with Mario Mandžukić. In this role, he was also given licence to drop deep or even out wide onto the right flank to receive the ball, and be more involved in the build-up of plays; as such, aside from scoring goals himself, he began to take on opponents and create chances for other players with greater frequency than he had in his final seasons with Real Madrid. Off the ball, he was also capable of creating space for teammates with his movement and attacking runs into the box, or finishing off chances with his head or feet by getting onto the end of his teammates' crosses.[34][35] On occasion he also played in an attacking partnership alongside Mandžukić in a 4–3–1–2, 4–4–2, or 3–5–2 formation.[36][37][38] He continued to play a similar role in his second season with the club under manager Maurizio Sarri.[35]

Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the two best players of his generation, alongside Lionel Messi.[39] Winning his first Ballon d'Or in 2008 by a record-high vote count at age 23, over the next decade Ronaldo has often featured in debates concerning who is the greatest player in history.[40] Acclaimed for his prolific and consistent goal-scoring,[41] he is considered a decisive player who is also a game changer,[42] especially in important and high-pressured situations.[43]

Ronaldo is noted for his work ethic, elite body conditioning and dedication to improvement on the training pitch, as well being regarded as a natural leader.[44][45] On his longevity and "extraordinary commitment to physical preparation", Adam Bate of Sky Sports said: "Dedication is a huge part of staying at the top and Ronaldo's focus is perhaps unparalleled within the game."[21] While stating they were stylistically different players who shared an equal desire to score goals, former Brazil international Ronaldo praised Cristiano's approach to training, arguing that "there are so few players who take care of their body like he does. I trained because I had to, he does it because he loves it."[46] His drive and determination to succeed are fuelled by a desire to be talked about alongside other greats such as Pelé and Diego Maradona once retiring.[47] He is credited, along with his compatriot, coach José Mourinho, with inspiring changing fortunes of Portuguese football in Template:Decade and Template:Decade.[48] At times, he has been criticised for simulating when tackled.[49] He was also occasionally criticised early in his career by manager Alex Ferguson, teammates and the media for being a selfish or overly flamboyant player.[50] Jonathan Wilson of The Guardian opined that Ronaldo had made Juventus, who he joined aged 33 in 2018, weaker, due to "his relative immobility" in his mid-30s, even if his personal goal-scoring output remained high.[51]

During his career, Ronaldo has also been described as having an "arrogant image" on the pitch,[52] with Ronaldo stating that he had become a "victim" because of how he was portrayed in the media.[53] He is often seen moaning, gesticulating and scowling while trying to inspire his team to victory,[52] with Ronaldo insisting that his competitive nature should not be mistaken for arrogance.[53] His managers, teammates and various journalists have said that this reputation has caused an unfair image of him.[54][55][56]

Goal celebrations

Ronaldo has adopted several goal celebrations throughout his career, including one particular celebration which gained widespread coverage in the media, when he squatted and stared directly into a camera on the sidelines of the pitch with his hand on his chin.[57][58][59] After scoring a goal, he usually celebrates with a "storming jump" and "turn", before "landing in spread-eagled fashion"[58] into his "signature power stance",[59] while usually simultaneously exclaiming "Sí" (Spanish and Italian for "yes").[57][60] This trademark celebration has been dubbed the "Sii" in the media.[57][58][61]

Rivalry with Lionel Messi

Both Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored in multiple UEFA Champions League finals and have regularly broken the 50-goal barrier in a single season. Sports journalists and pundits regularly weigh the individual merits of both players in an attempt to argue who they believe is the best player in modern football or in the history of the game.[62] It has been compared to several sports rivalries, among them the Muhammad AliJoe Frazier rivalry in boxing, the Borg–McEnroe rivalry in tennis and the Senna–Prost rivalry from Formula One motor racing.[63][64] Some commentators choose to analyse the differing physiques and playing styles of the two.[65] Part of the debate revolves around the contrasting personalities of the two players, as Ronaldo is sometimes depicted as an arrogant and theatrical showoff, while Messi is portrayed as a shy, humble character.[66][67][68]

Cry "Havoc", and let slip the dogs of war.

In a 2012 interview, Ronaldo commented on the rivalry, saying: "I think we push each other sometimes in the competition, this is why the competition is so high."[69] Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo's manager during his time at Manchester United, opined: "I don't think the rivalry against each other bothers them. I think they have their own personal pride in terms of wanting to be the best."[70] Messi himself denied any rivalry, saying that it was "only the media, the press, who wants us to be at loggerheads but I've never fought with Cristiano."[71] Responding to the claims that he and Messi do not get on well on a personal level, Ronaldo commented: "We don't have a relationship outside the world of football, just as we don't with a lot of other players." Ronaldo added that in years to come he hopes they can laugh about it together, stating: "We have to look on this rivalry with a positive spirit, because it's a good thing."[72] Representing archrivals Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two players faced each other at least twice every season in the world's biggest club game, El Clásico, which is among the world's most viewed annual sporting events.[73]

In a debate at Oxford Union in October 2013, when asked whether FIFA president Sepp Blatter preferred Messi or Ronaldo, Blatter paid tribute to the work ethic of the Argentine before taking a swipe at Ronaldo, claiming "one of them has more expenses for the hairdresser than the other." Real Madrid demanded and promptly received a full apology. In response to Blatter's "commander" on the pitch comment, Ronaldo issued his own riposte with a mock-salute celebration after scoring a penalty against Sevilla.[74] In August 2019, Ronaldo and Messi were interviewed while sat next to each other prior to the announcement of the UEFA Men's Player of the Year, with Ronaldo stating: "I pushed him and he pushed me as well. So it's good to be part of the history of football."[75]

As his reputation grew from his time at Manchester United, Ronaldo has signed many sponsorship deals for consumer products, including sportswear, football boots; since November 2012, Ronaldo has worn the Nike Mercurial Vapor personalized CR7 edition,[76] soft drinks, clothing, automotive lubricants, financial services, electronics, and video games.[77][78][79][80] Ronaldo was featured as the cover star of EA Sports' FIFA video game FIFA 18 and was heavily involved in the game's promotion.[81] His "Sii" goal celebration features in the FIFA series, accompanied with his own voiceover.[57] He was also the face of Pro Evolution Soccer, appearing on the covers of the 2008, 2012 and 2013 editions of the game.[82]

With earnings of €720 million (£615 million) from 2010 to 2019, Ronaldo was ranked second in Forbes list of The Highest-Paid Athletes Of The Decade, with only boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. earning more.[83] Forbes twice ranked Ronaldo first on its list of the world's highest-paid football players; his combined income from salaries, bonuses and endorsements was $73 million in 2013–14 and $79 million in 2014–15.[84][85] The latter earnings saw him listed behind only Mayweather on the magazine's list of The World's Highest-Paid Athletes.[86] In 2016, he became the first footballer to top the Forbes list of highest-earning athletes, with a total income of $88 million from his salary and endorsements in 2015–16.[87] He topped the list for the second straight year with earnings of $93 million in 2016–17.[88] He is the first footballer and only the third sportsman to earn $1 billion in their career.[89] Ronaldo is one of the world's most marketable sportsmen: SportsPro rated him the fifth most marketable athlete in 2012[90] and eighth most marketable athlete in 2013, with Brazilian footballer Neymar topping both lists.[90][91] Sports market research company Repucom named Ronaldo the most marketable and most recognised football player in the world in May 2014.[92] He was additionally named in the 2014 Time 100, Time's annual list of the most influential people in the world.[93] ESPN named Ronaldo the world's most famous athlete in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.[94][95][96][97]

Ronaldo has established a strong online presence. The most popular sportsperson on social media, he counted over 500 million total followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by February 2021, making him the first person to pass half a billion followers.[99] The most-followed person on Facebook (148 million), the most-followed on Instagram (310 million) and the most-followed sportsperson on Twitter (92 million), his sponsors earned $936 million in media value across his accounts between June 2016 to June 2017.[88] Ronaldo has released two mobile apps. In December 2011, he launched an iPhone game called Heads Up with Cristiano, created by developer RockLive,[100] and in December 2013, he launched Viva Ronaldo, a dedicated social networking website and app.[101] Computer security company McAfee produced a 2012 report ranking footballers by the probability of an internet search for their name leading to an unsafe website, with Ronaldo's name first on the list.[102]

Ronaldo has been the subject of several works. His autobiography, titled Moments, was published in December 2007.[103] His sponsor Castrol produced the television film Ronaldo: Tested to the Limit, in which he was physically and mentally tested in several areas; his physical performance was consequently subject to scrutiny by world media upon the film's release in September 2011.[65] Cristiano Ronaldo: The World at His Feet, a documentary narrated by actor Benedict Cumberbatch, was released via Vimeo in June 2014.[104] A documentary film directed by Anthony Wonke about his life and career, titled Ronaldo, was released on 9 November 2015.[105][106]

Demand for a replica Ronaldo shirt has been high throughout his career. In 2008, Ronaldo's number 7 Manchester United shirt was the best-selling Premier League sports product.[107] In 2015, Ronaldo's number 7 Real Madrid shirt was the second best-selling worldwide, after Messi's number 10 Barcelona shirt.[108] In 2018, within 24 hours of his number 7 Juventus shirt being released, over 520,000 had been sold, with $62.4 million generated in one day.[109]

Ronaldo opened a fashion boutique under the name CR7 (his initials and shirt number) on the island of Madeira in 2006 and opened a second in Lisbon in 2008.[110] In partnership with Scandinavian manufacturer JBS Textile Group and the New York fashion designer Richard Chai, Ronaldo co-designed a range of underwear and sock line, released in November 2013.[111] He expanded his CR7 fashion brand by launching a line of premium shirts and shoes in July 2014.[112][113] In September 2015, Ronaldo released his own fragrance, "Legacy", in a partnership with Eden Parfums.[114]

In 2007, C.D. Nacional renamed its youth campus Cristiano Ronaldo Campus Futebol (Cristiano Ronaldo Football Campus).[115] In December 2013, Ronaldo opened a museum, Museu CR7, in his hometown of Funchal, Madeira, to house trophies and memorabilia;[116] the museum is an official sponsor of the local football team União da Madeira.[117][118] At a ceremony held at the Belém Palace in January 2014, President of Portugal Aníbal Cavaco Silva raised Ronaldo to the rank of Grand Officer of the Order of Prince Henry "to distinguish an athlete of world renown who has been a symbol of Portugal globally, contributing to the international projection of the country and setting an example of tenacity for future generations."[119] A bronze statue of Ronaldo, designed by artist Ricardo Madeira Veloso, was unveiled in Funchal on 21 December 2014.[120]

In June 2010, during the build-up to the World Cup, Ronaldo became the fourth footballer (after Steven Gerrard, Pelé, and David Beckham) to be represented as a waxwork at Madame Tussauds London.[121] Another waxwork of him was presented at the Madrid Wax Museum in December 2013.[122] In June 2015, astronomers led by David Sobral from Lisbon and Leiden discovered a galaxy which they named Cosmos Redshift 7 (CR7) in tribute to Ronaldo.[123]

On 23 July 2016, following Portugal's triumph at Euro 2016, Madeira Airport in Funchal was renamed as Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport.[124] The unveiling of the rebranded terminal took place on 29 March 2017, which included a bust of his head being presented.[125] The bust and the name change were controversial, with the lack of the bust's likeness to Ronaldo being ridiculed by comedians, including Saturday Night Live,[126] while the name change was subject to much debate locally by some politicians and citizens, who even started a petition against the move, an action criticised by President of Madeira Miguel Albuquerque.[127][125] A year later, sports website Bleacher Report commissioned sculptor Emanuel Santos to create another bust;[128] however, this bust was never used and a new one was made by a Spanish sculptor, shown to the public on 15 June 2018.[129]

Personal life

Family, children, and relationships

Ronaldo has five children. He first became a father to a son, who was born on 17 June 2010 in the United States.[130] He has full custody of the child and has not publicly revealed the identity of the mother per an agreement with her.[131][132] In January 2015, Ronaldo's five-year relationship with Russian model Irina Shayk ended.[133]

Ronaldo became a father to twins,[134] born on 8 June 2017 in the United States via surrogacy. He is currently in a relationship with Argentine-born Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez,[135] who gave birth to a daughter on 12 November 2017.[136] The couple expected their second pair of twins in 2022. The male twin died during childbirth while the female twin survived.[137][138]

Ronaldo's father, José, died of an alcoholism-related liver condition at age 52 in September 2005 when Ronaldo was 20.[139]

In January 2023, after Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia with his family having been signed by Saudi Premier League side Al Nassr FC, the rulers of the Muslim-leaning Kingdom made Ronaldo an exception to the rule that unmarried couples are not allowed to live together in Saudi Arabia. An unnamed Saudi lawyer told Spanish news agency EFE that "the laws of the Kingdom still prohibit cohabitation without a marriage contract," but Saudi authorities have begun to "turn a blind eye and stop prosecuting anyone, even though these laws are applied when there is a problem or a crime."[140]

Health

Ronaldo has said that he does not drink alcohol,[141] and he received libel damages over a Daily Mirror article that reported him drinking heavily in a nightclub while recovering from an injury in July 2008.[142] He also does not have any tattoos as he regularly donates blood and bone marrow.[143]

Philanthropy

Ronaldo has made contributions to various charitable causes throughout his career. Television footage of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami showed an eight-year-old boy survivor named Martunis wearing a Portuguese football shirt who was stranded for 19 days after his family was killed. Following this, Ronaldo visited Aceh, Indonesia, to raise funds for rehabilitation and reconstruction.[144][145] After accepting undisclosed damages from a libel case against The Sun newspaper in 2008, Ronaldo donated the damages to a charity in Madeira.[141] In 2009, Ronaldo donated £100,000 to the hospital that saved his mother's life in Madeira following her battle with cancer, so that they could build a cancer centre on the island.[146] In support of the victims of the 2010 Madeira flood, Ronaldo pledged to play in a charity match in Madeira between Primeira Liga club Porto and players from Madeiran-based clubs Marítimo and Nacional.[147]

In 2012, Ronaldo and his agent paid for specialist treatment for a nine-year-old Canarian boy with apparently terminal cancer.[148] In December 2012, Ronaldo joined FIFA's "11 for Health" programme to raise awareness amongst kids of how to steer clear of conditions including drug addiction, HIV, malaria, and obesity.[149] In January 2013, Ronaldo became Save the Children's new Global Artist Ambassador, in which he hopes to help fight child hunger and obesity.[150] In March 2013, Ronaldo agreed to be the ambassador for The Mangrove Care Forum in Indonesia, an organisation aiming to raise awareness of mangrove conservation.[151]

Ronaldo was named the world's most charitable sportsperson in 2015 after donating £5 million to the relief effort after the earthquake in Nepal which killed over 8,000 people.[152] In June 2016, Ronaldo donated the entirety of his €600,000 Champions League bonus after Real Madrid won the competition.[152] In August, Ronaldo launched CR7Selfie, a selfie app for charity to help Save the Children that lets participants take a selfie with him in one of several different outfits and poses.[153]

Legal issues

In July 2017, Ronaldo was charged with fraudulently evading almost €15 million in tax between 2011 and 2014, a claim he denied at the time.[154] In June 2018, Ronaldo was given a two-year suspended jail sentence and fined €18.8 million, later reduced to €16.8 million after reaching a deal with Spanish authorities. The sentence can be served under probation, without any jail time, so long as he does not re-offend.[155]

Ronaldo and another man were investigated by the British Crown Prosecution Service after a 2005 rape allegation was brought forward by two women. Within days, the two women withdrew their allegation and Scotland Yard later issued a statement declaring there was not enough evidence for a prosecution.[156]

In April 2017, it was reported that Ronaldo was being investigated by the Las Vegas Police Department for an allegation by a woman that he had raped her in 2009.[157][158] Documents, confirmed by Ronaldo's lawyers, state that Ronaldo paid a woman US$375,000 in a non-disclosure settlement.[157][159] Ronaldo and his lawyers issued a lengthy statement denying all accusations, describing them as an "intentional defamation campaign" with parts significantly "altered and/or completely fabricated",[160][161] a claim which Der Spiegel categorically denied.[162] In July 2019, Las Vegas prosecutors said they would not charge Ronaldo over allegations of rape; the statement added: "Based upon a review of information at this time, the allegations of sexual assault against Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt."[163] The same woman, in September 2018, filed a civil lawsuit in Nevada accusing Ronaldo of rape.[164] The Daily Mirror, citing court documents, reported in 2021 that the woman sought £56 million in damages from Ronaldo.[165] In October 2021, federal magistrate judge Daniel Albregts recommended that the lawsuit be dismissed, citing that the woman's lawyer, Leslie Stovall, "acted in bad faith by asking for, receiving, and using Football Leaks documents to prosecute" the case, despite the documents containing "privileged communications" between Ronaldo and his lawyers. Additionally, Albregts stated that no evidence was found of Ronaldo's lawyers having "intimidated [the woman] or impeded law enforcement" during the 2010 settlement with her.[166] In June 2022, the woman's rape lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, as district judge Jennifer A. Dorsey ruled that Stovall's repeated use of "cyber-hacked attorney-client privileged documents" were actions representing "abuses and flagrant circumvention of the proper litigation process".[164][167]
