Nicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta - Polysubstance enthusiast, "Lawtuber" turned Dabbleverse streamer, swinger, "whitebread ass nigga", snuffs animals for fun, visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold who lost his license to practice law. Wife's bod worth $50. The normies even know.

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

IIRC, Thailand was not the first place he landed. I think he wanted to go to Japan (because he's a weeb), but couldn't get in due to COVID restrictions, so he spent some time in South Korea, and then I think Thailand came afterwards.

The simplest explanation for Andrew is he has "yellow fever." Pretty sure he's even admitted so.

Again, I am not a fan of Andrew, but Barnes is an utter shithead for insinuating what he did.

One good thing about Andrew is I doubt he's gonna turn out like Nick if he goes back to asia. Unless he's a fucking idiot. Asian drug laws are pretty draconian, from what I understand. I think in some countries, like Singapore and Indonesia, they straight up execute your ass if it's over a certain amount.

Andrew is Mormon-raised, like Jeff or our dear Mormon weeb @WelperHelper99. Those niggas never shake some behaviors off. It’s like Catholics and Jews, the ones raised in it might abandon some beliefs, but there are some unconscious beliefs they can’t wash off themselves.

 

[Netizennameless]

It's almost like seeing photos of serial killers when they were kids or with their families looking like regular people.

The line between a degenerate and a normie is far closer than people think. It's a lesson that a lot of people sitting in judgment of Rekieta would do well to learn. Nick himself made it to 40 before succumbing to cowdom; some of the people in this thread are in just as much danger of falling into this trap as Nick.

It can be as easy as following someone into the abyss because you trust/love them. Or realizing your life is half over and you've made no mark on the world.

It is just as easy to lose sight of your multitude of blessings. Even little things, like the anonymity we all have. Nick would probably kill (a skunk) to switch places with most of us right now.

Lastly, Nick is a reminder that being a nigger is a state of mind. Nick was a practicing lawyer with a compound and a trust fund and he still couldn't help himself but get addicted to coke and neglect his children like a ghetto nigger. You can take Rekieta out of Houston, but you can't take Houston out of Rekieta.

I'm no expert, but I assume you need to measure it out don't you? If he was making fun bags like the Ralphamale suggested, would be a good use for it. Could also argue he wanted his own scale so he could ensure he was getting as much as he was paying for. I can't imagine a scenario where he calls out his dealer for trying to short him though.

But if he WAS making bags, I'm sure he sold one or two at the very least.

I strongly Disagree that he was dealing. To sell drugs you need to have some discipline & organizational skills. They'd also likely have found lots of little baggies rather than just empties & cut corner bags. To buy 1g of blow in MN is probably like $120-150, but to buy 10g of blow is going to be closer to $70 per gram, depending on your wholesaler cost and rapport. If you're doing coke with two strung out women daily, you're going through at least 2g per day. Of course he was buying bulk quantities and of course he's giving it to whores and bulls for free because he has a complex about being the most popular guy in a room. It's not uncommon to own a scale if you're buying bulk quantities to ensure you don't get ripped off. Knowing nick though he just had it to show the women he's a tough guy and learned drug aficionado, purely a display prop like his law degree and Bible.

 

[Gorton Colu]

The thing is, if he wasn't intending to distribute it, why did he have a digital scale with the coke?

I choose to believe that when the cops broke into his den of iniquity, the cocaine was on the scale already where it read 26 grams. Nick just wanted to make it easier on the poor overworked small town deputies.

So yeah, male or female, you're sus if you vacation there (especially multiple times).

I did find out that it was only the first stop and she went to Taiwan and South Korea, but I still gave her shit for being a koreaboo and going to Thailand first thing.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

@NotATurkey better put out his video quick; he's getting scooped by v tubers.

 

[prolapsed_cranium]

All the lawtubers have ethical obligations to meet. Unfortunately barnes was probably extremely far from any violation considering Rekieta is unlikely to lose his licence over all of this.

Only those who had represented Kyle have any ethical obligations in that situation

It's scummy as fuck what he did to Kyle

 

[owed to joy]

I don't remember the origin of the following story (I think it was told on Yahtzee Croshaw's Let's Drown Out series), but it always sticks with me when people talk about Thailand. Some guy had to go to Thailand for business purposes and when he was there, he'd regularly see white men sticking out like a sore thumb either carrying a Thai child or walking them around by their hand. He asked someone he was with if they could do anything about it, and was told "dude, they came here because we can't do anything about it."

So yeah, male or female, you're sus if you vacation there (especially multiple times).


Yeah, there's a lot of plausible deniability he could hold when it comes to the drugs scale, and Aaron saying that it was used to measure MDMA complicates things if they want to try to get him for intent to distribute. They'd probably need more on Nick like a text message alluding to selling or something.

MDMA actually makes a lot of sense for personal use & owning a scale. Shame Aaron is such a detestable retard, many of his claims have been pretty truthful thus far.

 

[NotADrunkLawyer]

Making sure you weren't ripped off by the dealer, tracking dosage.
Owning scales and getting familiar with grams and the metric system is normal for addicts according to subject matter expert Andy Cokeski.

"Americans will use anything but the metric system"

Except when it comes to drugs. I've always found that kind of interesting. Crackheads have a better handle on the metric system than I do, hah.

 

[WhimsicalTrolli]

There must be problems in the dating market that a lawyer like Andrew has to go to Asia for sexual/romantic fulfillment. It would be one thing if it's a dude under 25 (women my age range are terrible) but a established lawyer? There's no way he should have trouble finding a girl.

 

[NSA Intern]

He's understated what Kayla was up to, overstated how much he tried to do anything to help rather than just intend to help, and having compared his interview with PPP to other interviews I noted at the time three stories that changed in notable ways. I didn't think them notable enough to remember, so they weren't that important lmao.
Based on all that, 85% of what he says he has no reason to lie and I don't think he did, but 15% either he's covering for himself or Kayla or his ex and it's 2/3rds true at most.

So Nick buys in bulk at Cosblo?

I bet he has the same problem Drexel has - his taste in women is absolute shit, and only goes for the girls that are certain to give you trouble.

If he were to raise his standards, I bet a lot of these problems wouldn't apply to him.

Oh shit, that's too much math for me, brb, gotta pick my notebook.

I'm still trying to understand this quote to this day. I'm not good at this.

 

[Captain Manning]

That's good enough for me, if true. It's only when Thailand is a first choice that you need to ask more questions.

I'm like 95% sure Japan was first his choice, and South Korea was the backup he took. Thailand came later. There's a video on his channel explaining it, I think.

Back when Andrew was noseguarding, and the thread was more critical of him, the speculation with him is that he was avoiding debt collectors. @Balldo's Gate wrote about it here in the Lawtube thread.

Barnes is actually theorycrafting insidious shit that KF didn't. The Farms understands that calling somebody a pedo without proof is a no-no.

 

[Gorton Colu]

He would have success with quality LDS girls had he remained active as well. But those girls are, compared to the general population, very exacting in their standards.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Somewhere down the line, someone will do a let's play of Hard Time (the 3D version) as Nick Rekieta.

Agreed. I can kind of understand the exaggeration; he's trying to twist the knife because he probably is low key hurt by it all in a way. I know if my wife left me for some faggy drunk stick figure who was feeding her drugs, and I later had to watch a stream where I could hear her in his room while he puts on a disgusting clown show...I'd probably lose my fucking mind. Granted he set his fate into motion himself. But I will admit that Aaron said so many things I hardly believed before & after the arrest and one by one many of them have been corroborated. I think his hesitation is largely founded in the fear of involvement with a criminal ongoing, considering he seems to actually value access to his children.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

I'm finding conflicting information on this (sources are saying yes, others say no). I'm going to wait for either AnOminous or Useful Mistake to comment and then I'll uncritically repeat what they say forever.

The way I've heard it explained is that No Contest is acknowledging the case presented by the state is likely to result in guilty verdict but you are not explicitly pleading guilty to the charges. Allegedly this means certain appeal doors remain open which are otherwise foreclosed with an explicit guilty plea.

That said, it is functionally a guilty plea. So, for example, if the prosecutors accept a no-contest plea for a felony charge, to my understanding you're still a felon, and you're still convicted of the charge.

Im kinda surprised that the nick rekieta dumpster fire isn't more of a big deal. Like, it got the bare minimum internet commentators and news articles for it, but I kinda expected youtube lawyer being high on coke then the police showing up the next day be way more a bigger deal beyond the youtube sphere.

It's not as surprising as you might think, consider the following aspects:
1) There's no video of the arrest/search (yet). This is actually huge since it's just papers and DM leaks for the moment which do not make for engaging content on their own.
2) Lawtube is big-ish, but it's not THAT big, and within that niche Nick became more and more niche by becoming increasingly not-lawtube. He's also helped by his declining viewership at least in this specific context.
3) Documenting his decline is almost necessary to adequately explain what's going on, and there's just so much lore to sift through scattered about 2-6 hour livestreams over ~half a decade, making an omnibus breakdown a daunting task if you haven't been in the trenches for years.
4) He was at best adjacent to the more mainstream drama communities most of the time which works in his favor in this case.
5) Until the decline he was not a raging asshole to anyone who challenged him, so most chance encounters people have had with him were likely positive pre-decline, and if they haven't been following him, that will be their context. Going from "wholesome family man with a sharp tongue" or "that guy who made a million dollars streaming the Rittenhouse and Depp trials" to "raging cokehead lunatic" is enough contrast that outside of expressing shock, what are most people going to say?

EDIT: Im just old, I guess i expected something outside the internet like on tv.

Go ahead and give me my gay optimism sticker, it is that month afterall.

Drexel's problem he gets what he puts out into the world, if you have a reputation of gangbabging married women in their dresses no shit a girl would want to marry him, he's a male equivalent of a cumdump.
