Can the that clause complement "proof" in this sentence?
In my case both "from you" and "that it isn't a fraud" are modifying "proof" and there is no ambiguity. Am I right?

BoSsSy there is no ambiguity Correct. Only a mindless robot could find ambiguity there no matter which order of modifiers you choose. Neither "you that isn't a fraud" nor "a fraud from you" makes sense to a human being, so those interpretations are quickly rejected.
