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

Progressive elite society doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget. It comes back to ruin you even after the fact for daring to stand up to it. Even just with words.. This was a full legal attempt. Surprised they didn't find a way to charge him with a crime or something.

Hope he appeals this as far as it goes.

Not true, darling. Judge Chupp didn't decide that. Vic did.

Vic settled with Monica and Ron. He agreed to pay them and Sean Lemoine almost $400,000 at 18% interest. He couldn't even negotiate an NDA out of them.

Funimation and Jamie Marchi are still to come.

This is why you don't sue for hurt feelings and culture wars, poppets. Told you so.

PS. Please don't tell Josh, though. He deserves to learn this lesson the hard way.

Nooo stalker darling, it is you who decided that

Vic now owes $376,592.93 in total to those two defendants.

Vic previously owed them $100,000 before he appealed.

He started his own dubbing studio, didn't he?

They’re starting it. It’s technically Jacob Takanashi starting it, a voice actor based in Japan who sees the voice over industry as a posse and just decided to start forming his own.

There hasn’t been much said after the announcement. According to Vic from Anime Matsuri last year, they almost had some licenses down. No updates since then.

A wills/trusts/estates lawyer is only in a courtroom when something gets fucked up. Assuming he's good at those things, he shouldn't have much experience with litigation.

Hiring Beard to do this case was like getting a heart surgeon to perform plastic surgery. It's a licensed surgeon, but it's no surprise when the patient comes out looking like the elephant man.

All the blame goes to the professional who dupes the sucker client into hiring them. I highly doubt Beard said "this isn't my area of expertise, but I can put in touch with the best," and Vic demanded to hire him nonetheless.

It was ultimately Rekieta who suggested Beard to Vic, as he had admitted in one of his streams, I think. Beard had no experience in tortious interference before this, but for some reason Nick found this guy, when there were probably more out in the Dallas area with experience and standards.

And you'd lose because you failed to present a prima facie case. "I fucked up" isn't an appeal. It's an admission of failure. There is just no way "oh, all those affidavits I filed? Well I kind of lied about signing them in person so I'm going to have to withdraw them all" is competent practice.

Okay but my legal opinion is +$376,592.93. Your legal opinion is -$376,592.93

It's hot takes like that is why you're disbarred and divorced.

 

[Ser Prize]

I think our ancestors were right about resolving shit like this through combat via champion. At least then you'd have seen Beard get hit by a mace.

 

[Cheeseknife]

Everyone who spent a good chunk of 2019 watching hours upon hours of Rekieta's worthless coverage of the Vic Mignogna case will soon realize they could have been doing literally anything else and it would have mattered more.

Spoiler: Some friendly advice for Ty Beard in this trying time

 

[PHILLIP BANKS]

I am.....tired.

 

[Nobusuke Kishi]

I have a joke.

A non practicing lawyer, a practicing lawyer, and his client walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "what do you want?"
The practicing lawyer says "me and my friend will have one of everything, and my client will give you 3 hundred thousand dollars."

I think the execution is a bit clunky, but maybe aspiring stand up comedian, Nick Rekieta, can look it over and fix it up a bit to make it better. After all, the best jokes have a bit of truth to them.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

If Ty Beard had any sense of decency, he'd fall on his sword so to speak and pay these fees on Vic's behalf.

Optimistic, I know

He absolutely promised he’d help with covering the fees. He’s never excussed the fuck up.

And who pays for that?

 

[Slap47]

Nick is going for Lolcow of 2024 as well.

 

[Pie]

Well Ty certainly followed through with "fear the beard", it's just that Vic should've been the one fearing it.

Not true, darling. Judge Chupp didn't decide that. Vic did.

Vic settled with Monica and Ron. He agreed to pay them and Sean Lemoine almost $400,000 at 18% interest. He couldn't even negotiate an NDA out of them.

A new account won't change the fact that you had a picture of a 15 year old girl on your PC.

 

[Yeeted Teet]

I remember reading about that case and thinking that Nick was handling that lawsuit masterfully.

Boy, how fucking retarded I was.

Always remember that if a person was really a leading expert in any given field, it'd take way up too much of their time for them to spend all day talking about it on the internet. This applies to everyone, from media personalities to streamers to reddit users.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

Considering the push it take from (shyster) internet lawyer Rekietta to even pursue the defamation action to begin with, I doubt it'll ever happen.

The reason Vic responded to Nick after Nick first reached out was because Vic wanted to sue and his previous lawyer was going ‘agree to the public applogy, this will all go away bs.’

 

[emergenigger]

Seems plausible, it seems very likely to me that he molested all those poor women as some kind of cope to convince himself he's not queer,

Pretty sure you're mistaking "gay" with "bisexual".

 

[Charlie Delicious]

How many years had Nick been practicing law when he started streaming? I feel like it was just a couple years?

He sure seems to be a lot better at drinking.

 

[Troonos]

Vic is the only true victim in all this - a genuinely good man fucked by his lying former colleagues, Nick, and Tyrone all at once, and now he's being fucked by the legal system.

 

[Abowaffen]

While I don't disagree that Ty is a retard. Vic was a double retard for hiring a lawyer who had never sued for defamation before. Nick didn't hold a gun to this guys head and make him choose Ty. People here need to think beyond their Rekieta hate-boners. (I still feel sorry for Vic)
