Yep you are right and I got 4 case numbers on an individual after the fact but I have not found a website to acquire those case numbers. Also a civil case does not prove wrong doing only a degorging of profits if the named individual made a profit or a recoup of losses by the plaintiffs. Some of the cases of the four are default judgements which means the defendant did not show up in court. Winning a civil and collecting is two different things.

Criminal is one thing and civil is another. Also if the civil is part of a large caseor sting to start with they do not let the cases get severed because it weakens their over all case. Opinions vary on this idea but that is why we have to courts. Also a case relocated would also cost additional money for a whole new set of attorneys, filings, court scheduling, etc etc etc to try which is not wise move on the prosecution because now they have to go the local district court to try it and probably cannot use the larger case as evifence.

Typically if a case is relocated there is insufficinet evidence if any at all to try the case which is why the case was severed.

I may be wrong, but I don't think changes of venue are readily awarded as a matter of convenience to the defendant. I think they are allowed only when it is determined that the defendant could not get a fair trial in the district, state, or county in which the case was originally brought.

This may differ between civil and criminal cases, but I don't think the courts are concerned with defendant convenience.
