Greer v. Moon, No. 20-cv-00647 (D. Utah Sep. 16, 2020)

[Mikoyan]

I can't speak to Hardin or his specific reason here, but a lot of lawyers just use gmail. It's easy and just works (and has a large inbox for storage). Even more lawyers use it with a domain wrapped on (so Google for Business or whatever). A lot of lawyers are tech boomers.

Email is one of those things that it makes incredible sense to outsource to a reputable provider, and Google is one. DIYing it is such a pain in the ass these days.

If he can get a second job to pay for hookers he can get one to pay for lawyers. It's nearly the same thing after all.

The Lawyers won't suck him his penis. Not even their clerks. He's probably asked.

How do you plan to spend that 159k retainer?

I have a cartoon avatar, and am a Jannie. How do you think I’d spend that money? I’d troon out, of course, and try to help Keffals sound like someone who is not an Eastern European dubber.

Point of note is that Hardin owns a protonmail account. Because it’s relevant:

I really hope Hardin is in good spirits with this case and by extension Lolcow. If I was in his position I would have lost my mind years ago from this. Maybe it's that I don't understand just how funny it is, since I'm no lawyer. Either way he has cemented himself as one of the greats in my mind.
Perhaps this is all an advertisement ploy, since I now know exactly who I call for FOIAs.

He's had two-and-a-half years to save money for a lawyer. From the day his appeal was filed in 2021, he should have been planning for the possibility of the case resuming in district court. He thought the appeal win was outright victory, and never understood it meant the case carried on.

Russ never thinks these things through. He wanted to bring Kiwi Farms to trial for years and expected an easy win. It was a genuine shock to his system when Null retained counsel. He's at a complete loss at what to do now and wants an actual big boy lawyer to save him from his own mistakes, since that's what always happened in his life.

Hardin's schtick is defending the constitutional rights of his clients, so dealing with retards is to be expected. Also, hilariously, from 2017 to 2019 he served as prosecutor in Greene County, Virginia.

It all seems to come back to Chris-Chan in the end.

If he can get a second job to pay for hookers he can get one to pay for lawyers. It's nearly the same thing after all.

He's a paralegal, which is basically a lawyer but without the degree. He doesn't need to hire a lawyer.

I bet he could pay a hooker to suck him his pro se and she’d do better than he has.

 

[AnOminous]

Even Balldo Nick in a drunken stupor is probably more competent in the details of civil procedure than Russ.

Rated optimistic for this. Nick recently fucked up a simple traffic ticket case by just not showing up because he was too drunk to even handle a Zoom call, and not even bothering to make an excuse to the court.

With all due respect to @Useful_Mistake, an Azula simp being a traitor is like water being wet. The warning signs have been there for years.

Sorry to bring this back to email, but that's one area Russ has on Nick. Per the last notice on April's speeding ticket, the email sent to Nick bounced as undeliverable, probably because he doesn't manage his inbox at all, or is on some terrible deal for his IT for his rekietalaw email (edit: like minimal storage and probably overpaying for it, or he's so overloaded it with porn email that he's constantly above his quota).

That said, you're right, Nick is still worse at law.

He would have known the time and date from reading his own thread but he was too busy day drinking and playing hide the balldo with April to appear electronically before the court.

Getting paid a few hundred bucks an hour is a wondrous panacea when it comes to dealing with BS.

Even so that's really no excuse, that's just yet another way he's an unprofessional idiot. If we knew the court date days in advance there's no excuse for him not knowing, especially considering he routinely reads his thread just to seethe about what people are saying about him in it.

He's admitted to giving a gay man a handjob in return for a ride to a brothel. A popular nickname in his thread is "Russell Queer."

From what Null has said Hardin views the Kiwi retainer as a steady paycheck due to the never ending tidal wave of bullshit, and also fun because he gets to do wild and crazy cases. He does it at discount as consequence instead of his usual rate, since any case involving this webzone will require bulk purchases of legal material.

And ironically, if he's trying to stake out a niche, our horrible reputation is actually good for him, because it could easily attract even more lucrative "lots of money for litigation and always in trouble for their crazy antics" clients who may think this mother represents Kiwi Farms, he'll represent me too.

I would say his niche will definitely be in Vexatious litigation defense. I can't off the top of my head think of any firm that has ever specifically listed THAT as something they specialize in.

But we are seeing "lessons learned" here applied with Hardin showing up in the Stebbins case at the In Form Pauperis petition stage, before the defense has even been served. The court was clearly annoyed about this because well, that is not how things are done, but it was important to shut down Acerthrone swiftly before a bored magistrate hand waves him access to free electronic filing.
