This was before any court appearances (video was posted in June 2003, I believe the district court hearing was July, 2023).
Assumption is 10-20 grand per appearance and preparation, (so an additional 20-40k per appearance for Randazza and the other MN lawyer), plus probably another 20-40k for the appeal prep. I could estimate appearance costs further, but 1st class flight, top shelf stay for a few days, meals, car, etc., it adds up quick.

Randazza's estimates for costs range from 50k up to 300k if being sued.

Damn, has this case been going on for nearly 21 years now? Time flies! If I'm being conservative here, Nick must be in for $13 million at this point.

Nick lost his appeal.

A lawyer losing a defamation lawsuit.

does the product deliver on its promises?
I'm asking for a friend.

Does your 'friend' find the idea of testicular torsion and scrotal hernias arousing? Is he either impotent or a degenerate furry trying to train his wife/girlfriend/fuck buddy to take the knot as to eventually move into fucking dogs?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Balldo™ is the product for you! use code CeilingCat for 20% off your purchase!

A lawyer losing a defamation lawsuit.

A defamation lawsuit in America of all places.

Definitely looking like it's time to settle.

Never settling stalker, enjoy discovery.

 

[William Tyndale]

The entire rekeita story arc makes me sad. I used to enjoy watching his streams back when he was covering the rittenhouse trial. Alcohol ruined another life.

21 in Nick years. Just look at his face.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

There was a time when Nicky would be able to grift hard from this. His audience would be throwing money at him. That time has passed, I wonder what happened?

It's easy to girft off of others than yourself.

 

[Mr.Bucket]

I still maintain that Rekieta's case could have been handled by someone fresh out of law school trying to make their bones for a case of beer or a good whiskey (of which he has plenty laying around).
Nah, his SHEER FUCKING HUBRIS demanded he get the most expensive 1st amendment lawyer in the country and thought he could pass the bill onto his audience. Which he then squandered away as fast as Bossmanjack squanders 70k.

 

[ducktales4gameboy]

I’m kind of hoping for a turn around. Nick hangs up his Balldo and puts on his suit and defends himself in court not as a non practicing lawyer but now a practicing lawyer!

There's no way I can see this not resulting in contempt of court, and that's really the only way this whole thing could get funnier. He'd have cow of the year in the bag if he went this route.

Is it possible to stream simultaneously on YouTube and Locals, thus technically having a Locals stream? Even then it still won't be enough, but still.

The legendary multi-lane grifting. 11 days and 14 streams to go.

 

[3MMA]

It's easy to girft off of others than yourself.

The fact that Rekieta thought he could spin calling someone names, defamatory lying names, & spin that as some big free speech issue, & then grift bux on it, is really fucking funny. What a drunk crazy nut case.

He missed the bus, his paying audience was gone by the time he went full tard on Montegraph, his show was in its dying throws already. He was maybe pulling in about double what he pulls now, as it’s currently $0-$150 per show, iirc, when he called Montegraph a lil boy sucker, he was maybe topping $300 per stream, max.

ETA: I may not be spot on in this memory, though it was clear Nicks shows were no longer bringing the big money anymore. That was the point in that statement.

Aaron Imholte weighs in on Nick Rekieta's latest L:

Idiot in STMS chat: "Nick's a lawyer. He can just represent himself."

My sweet summer child...

First of all, even lawyers are not really supposed to represent themselves.

Secondly, if that happened, Monty would be doing donuts in Nick's Mustang right now, and Nick's head would be on a pike in front of the courthouse as a warning to other lawyers.

It amazes me how so many people still don't grasp what a shit lawyer Rackets is. And this is Steel Toe, FFS. Did they not get the hint when he no-showed on April's speeding ticket?

I wonder how many workers in high-rise office buildings took a prolonged sick leave after seeing that tweet.

 

[Not Who You Think]

He was so drunkenly utterly convinced that this case would be this big, freedom of speech thing.

Nick was so confident that he even reacted to himself calling Montagraph a "child diddler", and by react of course I mean he giggled and nodded along with his own comments. This was how Nick imagined himself grifting off of Montagraph, with everyone laughing along with Nick as they showered him with thousands of grift-bucks:

Spoiler: Archive

Nick's strategy of doubling down on whatever he said was supposed to benefit both his case and his channel. Now that both are decidedly on the decline, Nick has no one to blame but himself as he continues to pay large sums of money for this lawsuit so that people can continue to laugh at him.

By the way, here is a copy of the clip Nick is reacting to from Montagraph's Rumble channel (link):

Thanks fuckface, I made a typo. Fixed.

 

[Bowl of Ramen]

LOL, faggot. Maybe he can settle and recoup costs by selling his already greatly depreciated Rustang.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

He shouldn't settle. He's the law macaw, the er in swinger. Don't tell him what to do, he's oppositionally deficient.

I still maintain that Rekieta's case could have been handled by someone fresh out of law school trying to make their bones for a case of beer or a good whiskey (of which he has plenty laying around).

The proper method to deal with the Montegraph lawsuit would be to issue a retraction, apologize, and give a small settlement sum to Montegraph to make the issue go away. The facts demonstrate as clear as day that Nick committed defamation, and I would bet Montegraph would have been amendable to a fair and reasonable settlement had Nick not acted like a complete fucker. Nick made the whole issue a ruinous suit to the death where he's doomed to lose.

In one very real sense, Monty has already won.

Nick should get out ASAP, but he's too prideful to admit defeat. Nick's entire strategy seemed to hinge on recovery of Randazza's fees, justifying the insane costs of suit on the basis he could eventually recover at least a portion of his fees. Without a vehicle to recover attorney's fees, continuing to participate in the lawsuit only serves to burn far, far more money than the case could ever be worth.

Continuing the lawsuit at this point probably will be worse than straight up losing. The problem is that since Nick has been such an outrageous cunt for the last two years, the attorney's fees already accrued on this case are likely completely ridiculous, and Montegraph now holds basically all the negotiation leverage, settlement will be next to impossible.

Sweaty Sausage Squad in shambles, Balldobros I'm not feeling so good...

 

[waffle]

I don't know if any anti-SLAPP lawyers actually do this, but it would make sense in a state like California where anti-SLAPP means you collect your fees from the losing plaintiff. I see it as seriously unlikely to go for contingency in a state without an anti-SLAPP statute by advancing an arcane choice-of-law argument that another state's law applies, and not just for the procedural aspect of dismissal (which is almost never going to apply) but also for the substantive aspect of fee-shifting.

I'm virtually certain Randazza is not dumb enough to do that without cash up front.

That was what happened to Quasi, and it took how many years to get paid? I could only ever see doing something like that against an in-state defendant who you 100% knew was going to be collectable. Even then it feels like it would be more of a favor or a stunt than something anyone would do as course-of-business. I never agree to do contingent fee work against "normal people" because the risk of an uncollectable judgment is just way too high.

And by "win" I mean he might "win" at trial but he's out so much money for so little cost to Montagraph that he's already lost no matter what happens. Just going to discovery at all is losing. Because Randazza isn't Jesus Christ Himself and can't make "sucks little boys' dicks" non-defamatory.

The only trial strategy that ever wasn't totally retarded was to get someone good but affordable to push it to trial ASAP on the defense of "I'm the light night alcoholism-shock-jock funny-man. Nobody with a brain would ever take bants I make about another internet person seriously."
