Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

Agreed. I don't think you'd get sympathy even with a jury pool from Berkeley.

Unless you somehow literally got a hand-picked jury from Twitter dangerhairs, he looks like a snake.

Even dangerhairs have standards as long as they aren't fighting for the cause he represents. They would need to be KickVic dangerhairs to like Ron, otherwise he would be an easy target.

I just had a nasty thought regarding Lemonhead’s big surprise for next week, his harping on the GFM, and the nagging question of how the fuck they are paying for this all? Since many places (I don’t know Texas?) specifically outlaw lawyers using contingency fees for defendants in a situation like this. We can safely assume Lemonhead is going to drop his TCPA next week. He has to by Thursday. But is he scheming to drop some sort of shady countersuit?

Forgive my ignorance, but... Why are they going spending so much resources on the GoFundMe? Those aren't resources they have right now.

To me it seems like a general saying "We need bold, nay, reckless strategy to win and it's fine because we can get reparations later."

It seems like there isn't any strategic value in it because they will at best get a pyrrhic victory out of it.

They’re convinced it’s a scam and Nick is taking money from it. They’re also jealous.

I think part of it is that they've got three different law firms representing them and all of their lawyers are also shysters that are just in it for a pay-check (they have to know how fucked their clients are) so they'll go along with anything that the clients want as well even if it's stupid. It's a van full of idiots where everyone is trying to drive at the same time.

Popehat is the Bob Loblaw Law Blog that's been around for like 15 years. The guy who runs it was a federal prosecutor and writes for all kinds of publications. It's wannabe e-celeb lawyers sucking up to an established e-celeb lawyer. I remember reading his entries on some old internet drama lawsuits back in the day.

He used to be a great legal commentator and always had orbiters because of that. Unfortunately, social media and TDS seem to have broken him and the quality of his orbiters has diminished.

They've been implying that they're going to counter-sue for months now, so probably.

How long can they go without payment before they call it quits unless MoRon starts paying? It sounds like J Sean doesn’t think the TCPA will succeed and they’ll be in this for up to another year.

It's not just how he looks, it's also how he sounds. Casey should have got him a voice coach months ago. Ever obnoxious thing about him is going to be magnified in a courtroom. A jury would hate him even if he were telling the truth - he's that sleazy.

My god, I hope he sues whoever did the plastic surgery on his face... It just doesn't look right.

While going after the GFM seems like a bad idea, the basis for it isn't as stupid (though it's based on misunderstandings and misinformation). They believe that GFM can still pull the money back, and that by going after it, they may shut Vic's offense down. If Vic didn't have funds, he might actually be unable to pursue this further, so it's not a stupid idea in that regard. If it wasn't based on the misunderstanding that the funds can still be pulled back, it would be a good strategy.

Honestly, if I was in their situation and had a way to maybe shut down the funding of the other team I would aggressively go for it too (and I have done so, although in my case it was funded by an insurance policy that could be invalidated), but unlike them I'd check to see if that was actually viable. Taking out the funding is one way to quickly end a lawsuit, if you are smart about it.

 

[RodgerDodger]

You are thinking of a counter suit against Nick? I assumed the TCPA was the thing he was talking about dropping next week. That he and the other lawyers on the defense haven't bothered to examine how GFM works and are harping on it seems like a long shot for them. I mean unless it is some crazy money laundering scheme.

Attempting to sue Nick would be idiotic. Even by their standards. It would be a true example of a SLAPP. No, I’m thinking Lemonhead will try and countersue Vic for Sexual Assault or similar. I think he would face serious statute of limitations issues doing that, but honestly he doesn’t seem that bright.

The thing to remember about couchette is he is a fucking terrible lawyer and is in fact a Lolyer.
He touts himself as s first amendment expert and can’t even win his first amendment cases.

He, much like the other twitter Lolyers, get off from the fact they are arguing with non lawyers and can pretend to win. When faced with real lawyers counters they will just plug their ears and hope their interpretations come off as better, but we have clearly seen that they are all wrong, if anyone were to cite these cases to them at face value they would still find a way to pretend they’re right and answer with a shitty out somewhere on the region of “I would disagree and I would try to get that overturned” blah blah blah

As stupid as Nicks opinion can be regarding certain federal issues, he is at the top tier of lawyers you would want in your corner in civil litigation.

Never hire a super lawyer, even the ones on shitty tv commercials for injury law will never take the title of super lawyer.

He gets his rocks off arguing with non lawyers on twitter. And never realizes or admits that he constantly loses to the non lawyers. He’s that lousy of a lawyer. And what lousy lawyers never seem to grasp, is non lawyer normies are remarkably good at spotting lousy lawyers.

Agreed. I don't think you'd get sympathy even with a jury pool from Berkeley.

Twitter dangerhairs secretly prefer real manly men. Things like Ron make their skin crawl. They would instantly stick the knife in him without a thought.

As EVS noted in his stream watching Nick’s, Toye actually seems to have waxed and colored his eyebrows. He’s wearing some sort of Manley makeup. This is not gonna sell well to a Texas Jury.

I understand being petty about things. I think the sheer depths of pettiness is what is throwing me off.

This is going to be a long, arduous battle and these people aren't prepared. These people are like the spectators who went to watch the first battle of the US Civil War. They wound up fleeing when shit hit the fan.

A different topic, rumors of Rooster Teeth getting merged into Crunchyroll gain more credibility by the day. We currently believe that RT would be sued in round 2. If there isn't a RT by that time, is there no recourse? Alternatively, what happens if all the people involved with Vic's firing have subsequently left the company?

If RT is merged into another company, then the legal responsibilities merge into the new company as well. They don't get JUST the positive things, but the whole package. Else any company could do a whole lot of illegal stuff, merge into another company, and nobody could be sued because the company "vanished".

RT isn’t going out of business. It’s simply being absorbed by it’s deep pocketed overlords. AT&T. Who also inherited any of RT’s liabilities. (To a point).

Okay. Thanks. I had been wondering if there was a point where it would be... Too messy to try and sue.

Suing AT&T is it's own nightmare. They have basically written the case law on arbitration agreements and I could totally see them trying to pull the maneuver of "well, Vic had a cell phone with us in 2003, and the agreement he signed says that any dispute between us will be handled by binding arbitration".

If you wanna get rely pissed about something go read about the federal arbitration act. It's some cyberpunk distopia shit that only happens because people don't know how fucked it rely is.

 

[Apterigo]

So Shane has posted an amended complaint and a response to the special exemption - anyone able to find this filed in the system yet?

Depends on the nature of the merger, wether full absorption (bought out) and new management or if it’s a partnership that entails partial ownership and people sticking around still being run as separate entities.

You usually always absorb any liabilities that comes with the buying out of the previous entity, it just depends on how the new people decide to handle the situation

Gotcha fam

I only skimmed past these but the response by Ty is pretty clear that the idiots over on Monica and Ron’s side are attempting to commit another act of habious dibsies and make shit up to be able to plead their shitty shitty excuse of filings and Ty basically said bitch please I’ll be nice and do this amendment but the rest is attempting to sell nutsweat as a drink.

And even if we ended up with dangerhairs on the jury, they might easily be swayed by the argument that false accusations are harmful to rape survivors. Even Toye has said so multiple times in his tweets, which are now entered into evidence.

Sounds like a good oppertunity for AT&T (or whoever) to go "knock it off and rehire Vic, because we have a duty to our shareholders to make revenue, instead of throwing good money after bad on your social projects."

 

[JoyfulDarter]

Forgive my ignorance, but... Why are they going spending so much resources on the GoFundMe? Those aren't resources they have right now.

They have no case, they're basically throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

I just can't imagine Vic wanting to go back to that cesspool unless it was for fans that want him to remain the voice of Broly, etc.

 

[AStupidMonkey]

I bet Vic would be willing to do more Qrow voice. And even one quickie job shows everyone that RT is rejecting the "we won't work with Vic" line. Which is the best they can possibly repair his reputation. At the least, a singular token of good faith.

Vic does most of his work by remote, anyways. I bet it'd be worth-it on-paper.

EDIT: and as an added bonus, good chance a KV voice actor REEEEEEE's, kicks their toys over, and runs home sobbing.
