More importantly he's biding time to think of a narrative on how to tackle the issue.
I'm wondering if he will say
anything about it during Ask the King. And by that I mean loosely, probably in the context of trying to bait pity or call it a conspiracy. I doubt he's going to be willing to mention it outright, but that used to be a forum where he'd go in on whatever drama was currently dogging him.
Worst that would happen (I think) is that he would end up getting the Chapter 11 instead of Chapter 7 and getting put on the payment plan where he's forced to pay $X a month and only allowed to keep the excess. I'll be really surprised if anything happens with it at this point.
Yeah, I agree. Namely, they had the evidence of issues in front of them at the time and clearly glossed over it, his creditors didn't lift a finger to contest
anything at the time, and it has now been 2 years in a pandemic that has likely created a myriad of new issues and a backlog. Midfirst got a pound of bacon just by pushing proceedings out as long as they could, I wouldn't really say it was more than a passive effort. I doubt anyone with any authority would be moved to care now.
Really, the bigger issue is that this confirms that Phil is everything that he vehemently said he wasn't - he's a liar and a con man. It had been his refuge for years that we couldn't connect the dots on anything and so it was all lies and wild conspiracies. As it stands, the only thing detractors were really objectively wrong on was the escort saga. And even then, it's because Phil
was lying and was blowing money on Kat, and then the Farms debunked the escort. Everything else was pretty much confirmed. At the very least, he probably feels dangerously exposed, if not to his audience than at least to us.
He has a fetish for detractors-turned-fans that saw the error of their ways and started supporting him, he talked about his underdog status, and his love of redemption stories... that's not believable or possible anymore. There may be no tangible consequences, legal or even otherwise, but he is what he was branded as, and that's pretty bad.
