Dave is broke but I'd say there's at least a non-zero chance he could potentially find a lawyer that would work on contingency in this case.
That Matt Hoss guy who sued H3H3 was a fuckin pizza man and still managed to get a lawyer to sue em, and in this case Boof committed a pretty clear cut crime.
Well.. Less than zero? Yes. But it would have to be a pretty desperate Lionel Hutz tier lawyer to take the case. It wasn’t Null/KF who hacked his account. Tracking down the individual autists (who might be judgement proof) would be a time consuming and expensive affair. Any lawyer who doesn’t have cobwebs on the diploma on the wall would want to see big cash up front or just shrug and deal with the next accident victim walking in the door.
Another big difference between h3h3 and Null? H3h3 got money. Null? Not H3h3 tier money. (I think!)
Lol that would be funny as fuck seeing him somehow in a suit waddling about, we might get to see some footage of Kat too. Of course all of this is to much effort but its funny to imagine. He'd go on a rant about his 13 year legacy and everything to the poor people in the court, I always imagine every time he makes a phone call or a complaint that happens.
Phil in a courtroom? Oh dear lord yes! He’d look like a Soprano’s reject with his greasy hair and goatee.
He’d waddle up to the witness stand with his weird, ass backwards chickenwalk, wearing a second hand suit and see it as a BURNELL REDEMPTION RUN.
“Mr. Burnell, could you tell the court what you do for a living?”
“I deliver professional on demand gameplay streams, and been on YouTube for FOURTEEN years. Ten years ago I got fired ILEGALLY from a helicopter company and decided to do YouTube for a living. I have uploaded over SIXTY THOUSAND VIDEOS of gameplay...”
/Confused look from the judge, Phil’s Lionel Hutz nervously biting his nails, looking at the stand and deciding whether he should intervene.
“Then in 2016 Youtube changed their algorithm and COMPLETELY fuh-eh-screw-eh-harmed small kahntent creators as myself. At the same time... Am I allowed to say “Shithead” your honor?”
/Judge looking from Phil to his lawyer with a WTF expression.
“So as I was saying these mentally ill shitheads started SLANDERING ME and RUINING MAH BUSINESS!”
And yes, if we’re lucky enough we’ll get to see 300 lb Khat squeezed into whatever a fat weeabo whale considers “conservative court clothes” showing up to support Phil.
“They’ve even ahtacked mah FAMILY!”
/Thumbs at Khat
“And said MUH WIFE has no eyebrows and spread lies about our son Jasper, which is TOTAL BU-A TOTAL LIE because I would never have declawed him, alright?”
/Judge, his/her eyebrows in orbit orders a recess while sending Phil’s Lionel Hutz a look of “IS THIS A JOKE TO YOU?!?”
