Steve Quest (p/k/a Montagraph) vs. Nicholas Robert Rekieta & Rekieta Law, LLC (2023)

"Unhinged and unreliable" is an understatement.

I cannot imagine anyone actually clicking on the post and believing it is in any way worth citing.

The thing is, @5t3n0g0ph3r does not actually link to the blog post, and, in the most optimistic scenario, didn't actually read it before citing it.
Yeah, I had to get the archive link from the Steve Quest OP that Null wrote. That thread doesn't seem to get much traffic, so I think a lot of people missed things like this.

I don't wanna really shit talk Sten, since the guy was nothing but nice to me, but he had the same problem I (admittedly) used to in that he was an unapologetic Rekieta supporter. A certain degree of bias can creep in. For reasons I already addressed, I can't say I agree with the way he went about it here though.

Anyways, the blog is overall unhinged, but what's interesting is this part:

I am wondering if Monty left a comment somewhere stating the character is 35, and if that comment still exists. Unless this too is just the rantings of the madman that wrote this blog and thinks the movie is real. Based on @Harm's observations (i.e. the female character has a husband and pays rent), I don't think Monty intended the character to be underage, nor do I see any reason to believe the actress is underage.

Not to be outdone in the crazy department, somebody else wrote a blog post claiming that the film depicted a real Satanic murder out of Colorado that can be linked to Hillary Clinton and John Podesta.

(I am starting to think between reading this ridiculous shit, and the way Rekieta has been acting, Monty is not be even remotely the craziest person in this whole sordid affair).

In any event, it is clear to me that Little Piggy and the Umbrella Man shit was blown WAY the fuck out of proportion. Even Morphonios seems to have incorrectly referred to it as a "child stuff film" in his pleadings. People talked this up as some horrible snuff film involving a little girl, when it's about on the same level of that fake snuff film Mundane Matt made.

I'm with Null on this one. Monty's movie is just... stupid... but it's not what people made it out to be.

Still, if Monty ever reads this: You still managed to write a better love story than Twilight. So, good job. 👍

Montagraph's lawyer sent the Judge another life-changing DM. The Jury is still out on whether this one is fraudulent like the last one.
Randazza responded. He claims that Montragraph's lawyer misrepresented the Coomer case. The jokes write themselves

Monty had a stream after he filed the lawsuit and before where he really seemed hurt by the claims. There is also a stream and the GFM description he had around to raise money for the appeal.
Nick is just lying. Monty has been very consistent in denying these specific allegations at every opportunity he has had to do so. Does Nick think Null, of all people, would actually disown an accusation like this just because he was intimidated by someone like Monty?

Everyone who has honestly approached this issue has had to admit that these specific allegations are bullshit and based on literally nothing. Pure vapor.

I'll admit that I was on Team Balldo for longer than I should have been, and I believed the the 'Monty was a tosser' line for a good while, but when you tune in to his stream where he is responding to Nick he sounds genuinely HURT and CONFUSED by it. He is not the most linkable, but I do think get instant diddler vibes from him at all.

As for Nick's brain, it has seen better days. Null who confidently states he believes Vaedo is guilty disavows Monty's allegations... But somehow that means that Josh is the REAL CP hash collector in Nick's addled brain.

I really do think that a nominal judgement against Nick is appropriate here. Monty doesn't have much damage that I can tell that was exclusive to Nick's actions. Nick also deserves to lose, but life is pinching him enough with his own decisions.

That was embarrassing because not only did Nick hurl a vile, false accusation, he was also obviously too retarded even to grasp the concept of what a hash even is. Good job, dumbfuck, way to show your ass to the public as an ignorant technically incompetent boomer moron.
 
Your honor, irrespective to what plaintiff may be trying to argue, the Defense maintains that the defendant is a certified expert on Coomer and Coomer related positions.
Honestly, if Rekieta goes for this defense, he might win. There's an abundance of proof that Rekieta is familiar with degeneracy.

I can't tell if Randazza is being completely delusional here or not. Saying AKtually this case supports MY argument is the usual thing to do but I can't tell if it makes legal sense.

As far as I can tell it seems like Randazza is reaching. There is a difference between a court stating as a matter of fact "Obviously this evidence is not very good" and a court weighing the evidence. But the moment it even seems like there is a question of a court weighing evidence this special thing that courts can only do because the evidence is just technically bad/wrong goes out the window.

I also think a fair evaluation of Monty's case would find that it cannot be dismissed out of hand. Monty might have unfavorable odds in terms of actually winning, but it is close enough, that it shouldn't be dismissed outright. I don't think Rekieta would have worked so hard and spent so much money on the slapp stuff if it wasn't true. At this point I think discovery itself might have been as expensive as this entire portion of legal action.

I don't think it was a mistake to be on Team Balldo for a little while. He managed to build some credibility for himself. The guy has five children and before we learned how things are a loving wife. He really has fallen quite far.

Null who has been around for a while and seen all kinds of lies and is probably one of the most knowledgeable people in the world about these types of people failed to realize for a little while.

Bowman and Randazza are not arguing over the quality of the evidence, the evaluation of the case, or any similar thing. The reason Bowman brought this new case to the court's attention was that, in his view, the jurisdiction Randazza wishes to be applied has just ruled that Colorado anti-slapp requires the judge "to weigh evidence and determine likelihood in [what Minnesota deemed to be a] violation of the party’s constitutional right to a jury trial." Randazza responded by asserting that this question was not before them; that there was no evidence weighing, but a "simple question whether the plaintiff can meet proof with proof to defeat the motion" something that Minnesota has found to be constitutional; and to the actual question at matter the case is not applicable because of difference in how this trial court handled the question as opposed to the trial court in Coomer case.

The argument right now is solely limited to whether or not Colorado law applies. Remember, this is what the Judge said:

15 days remaining. Just one day over 2 weeks. Nearly there now.
FWIW, my prediction is that Nick is gonna win this round, and he'll celebrate, and tell Monty and Schneider to kill themselves (and whatnot), but that it'll be premature because it's still gonna be kicked back to Fischer.

Like @AnOminous points out, it's entirely possible for Monty to clear Colorado SLAPP.

That was my theory too. I think he wins on Colorado law being applied but loses on Anti-Slapp because no court in US accepts defamation as furthering the interests of the 1st Amendment (something Colorado’s Anti-Slapp requires).
 
I am going to be the idiot that asks: Is the deadline a 'hard deadline' enforced by statute, or more of a procedural guideline set by the court itself?
A hard deadline that can be extended "for good cause shown."

While that sounds like it allows for broad discretion, I believe courts generally prefer to adhere to the rule and interpret it fairly strictly. It's not just a "play hooky if you feel like it" rule.

Incidentally, I believe 90 days is the shortest such deadline in the country, although I haven't done a 50 state survey.
