The Order to Show Cause also mentions Jeffrey Firestone  
In particular, Respondents have registered for, control, and/or operate one or more USPTO.gov accounts responsible for submitting documents that included (1) the electronic signature of attorney Jeffrey Firestone, including filings signed and submitted after his death, and/or (2) the signature of �Jackson George,� a presumed fictious [SIC] attorney. 
And someone on this list provided to me: https://www.chinaiplawupdate.com/2022/08/uspto-chinese-firms-used-dead-attorney-to-file-trademark-applications/  
Jeffrey Stewart Firestone is or was identified as an attorney of record in over 8,000 trademark applications and/or registrations. Despite news articles reporting Mr. Firestone�s death on July 30 or 31, 2021, more than 300 submissions, allegedly signed by Mr. Firestone, have been filed with the USPTO since August 2, 2021.
