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

[Dyn]

He just wants to trash someone who is superior to him in every way

He's not superior at having judges take his side when he molests women, and that's really all that counts.

There you go again.

I have to admit though. Those Risembol Rangers (?) are insane. Genuinely insane.

 

[Owlbear]

And just to put it on the record, I'd definitely never hire him for a defamation case, but if in some weird alternate universe I was doing a multimillion dollar corporate merger, he'd be my guy.

Having actually done a few of these (on the client side, not as a lawyer), I can safely say that Tylophone would never even get close to one of mine. Any procedural error on the part of the lawyers in getting the deal done could risk the whole thing getting unwound, and a careless attorney can easily let something slip in negotiations and due diligence that completely fucks you - private company M&A deals for real money often involve gigantic contracts with milestones and other ongoing payments, not to mention a massive quantity of due diligence materials. Someone with a track record of careless procedural mistakes and a belief that these "details" don't have to apply to him or his side would be disqualified as an attorney.

If you're selling a $2 million gas station to a friend (technically a multimillion dollar corporate M&A), have Ty do the closing, but if you're doing a real deal, get a real lawyer.

All that said, I don't think anyone here would mind if he merely lost the case (he is a transactional lawyer doing trial law on hard mode), but the manner in which Ty lost this case is pretty indicative of him being incompetent at the job in general. Just like Nick Rekieta, Ty went to law school and then immediately started his own firm, meaning that aside from Chupp and Sam, it's likely that nobody has ever checked any of Ty's work and told him what he did wrong.

All this said, Chupp seems to have wanted to rule for the other side, which makes things a lot harder on Ty and Vic. Chupp should have been a lot less biased here, and deserves all the hate he's getting and more.

 

[Day of the Cope]

A lot of people saying that "Vic should have paid the original amount" don't seem to understand that giving money to your extortionist only incentives similar shakedowns in the future.

 

[Mr. 0]

What would be the consequences of Vic just not paying them (I'm assuming Beard is gonna stiff him on the whole thing) and ignoring it forever or until they die 20 years before he does?

 

[purupela]

If that was the only problem Ty could just appeal it. The sad truth is that Ty Beard is a skilled and talented lawyer who did the best he possibly could with the hand he was dealt, but Vic never had a case because there's no legal remedy for being a creepy sex addicted molester-man and then not wanting your victims to talk about it.

I agree that Vic is a creepy sex pest and I'm honestly laughing pretty hard at all the debt he's in, but c'mon we all know Ty was a dogshit lawyer. Frankly watching him be a shitty lawyer only added to the overall entertainment value.

 

[Aaron Costello]

And the tragic thing about it is that Vic is going to be dealing the sex pest/predator allegations for the remainder of his life due to Beard. A lot of people here and elsewhere online does know what really happened to Vic but not everyone.

Other people will just see the end result of the lawsuit and assume everything KickVic says is true. Regardless of what you may personally think of Tim Pool he used a phrase to describes these types that I agree with: Low-information individuals.

Stupid question. He still hasn't been convicted of anything, has he? So it's still not really correct to call him a sex pest, right?

 

[TheClappening]

Stupid question. He still hasn't been convicted of anything, has he? So it's still not really correct to call him a sex pest, right?

Victors write the history. Vic lost, they won, and in their minds that means all the allegations were proven true, even if sane people know that isn't what happened, at all.

I mean, even if they defame him again, what is he going to do? Sue?

 

[Lemmingwiser]

He talks like he was in the room

So do people who support vic and are convinced of his innocence.

 

[Uncle Buck]

So do people who support vic and are convinced of his innocence.

Innocence is presumed.

Or rather, it's supposed to be in a righteous world.

 

[Lemmingwiser]

Innocence is presumed.

Like the people that repeated some things they heard

 

[Captain Manning]

It was a line in the Prison School dub that called someone a "GamerGate creepshow," though it wasn't actually Jamie who wrote it but Tyson Rinehart, and it was changed for the Blu-Ray release.
She did call Tyson the closest person to Jesus she's ever met, though.

Yeah, Prison School wasn't Marchi, but she WAS responsible for the shit in Dragon Maid.

Example:

Cringe.

Double cringe, I suppose, if you are one of the people here who hate anime anyways.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

I mean, even if they defame him again, what is he going to do? Sue?

Or, even worse, countersue if he does sue again?

As most people have said on here, this is more than just sending a message to Vic. I geniunely believe that if they can’t blacklist him, they are desperately (and are petty enough) to bankrupt him so they won’t have to see him get lawyers like Ty or Nick by his side.

This is the funnies thing you've ever posted.

They would love it if Vic got a lawyer like Ty again. The defendants should be bowing mecca-style every morning to a picture of Ty Beard because of how much money he saved them.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

I wonder what particular quirk in his mind makes him so mad about that. Something like half of all people with law degrees do not practice. It's just a thing. Why's he so mad about it? He literally could spend a couple hours a month on pro bono shit and call himself a practicing lawyer. But he doesn't. And then gets mad.

What a dumb faggot.

I assume it’s becsuse all the people suddenly calling him a non-practising lawyer used to like him and be ok with him just being a YT Lawyer. And now they aren’t. And the fact that they keep spamming him with it now just pisses him off.

Like, sure he could do bono stuff but then they’d laugh at him for being so arseblasted that he started law again. And that would piss him off too.

Dude is stuck. Like all good cows.

Chupp is pretty much a corrupt piece of shit.

You really think he's corrupt? I think she's just stupid and lazy. Remember his joke of an election statement when running for a higher court? We're talking like Dyn-level IQ here.

Embrace the power of "and". He can be both.
